Sugar Bowl tickets KSU ticket office Confirmation

Has anyone received their confirmation from the ticket office yet?

I am kind of a mess…I don’t use credit cards, I only use debit cards I forgot to call the bank Friday to increase my daily limit for the transaction today. And I don know if an email has been sent, because over the weekend, I have had multiple people call me to tell me the emails they have sent me keep getting kicked back to them. Evidently there is something wrong with my email. Thanks for the help

Early Bowl Game Predicted Scores

I saw a couple early bowl game score predictions. CFN doesn't like the Big 12, picked them winning only 1 of the 8 games. That was OSU 30 to 17 over Wisky. Cats lose to Bama 34 to 20 with predicted line to come out @ 8 and settle at 4.5 Bama. Arkansas hammers KU 40 to 26, and Michigan 38 to 14 over TCU other games were one score games against UT, Baylor, Tech and OU. On the other side ESPN predicts Cats beat Bama 31-30 on Zentner FG, can't remember the other predictions but believe they picked Baylor and UT as the only other Big 12 victors?

Chris Klieman is the Ultimate Moneyball Play..

First of all, there will be a loud vocal few who will use their confirmation bias and mob mentality to instantly dismiss or poke fun at this... but perhaps for once could we try to get some civil discourse. Can people take a step back, a deep breath, and challenge their own assumptions for once in regards to Klieman?

It's plain as day for anyone being willing to get over their own insecurities about our University. NDSU is an extreme outlier at the D1 FCS level and very undervalued in casual public perception. Anybody who is a true College Football nerd should know this with some of the pearl clutching reaction to only the thought of Klieman.

NDSU, as has been posted several times only to have goalposts move - according to Sagarin ratings is better than any FBS G5 team besides UCF and better than half (or more) of the Big 12 currently. This shows the EXTREME overvalue sheep place on G5 teams simply because they aren't FCS when in reality the very top of the FCS is every bit as good as FBS G5. (NO, there's not near the depth of quality teams in FCS, at the bottom of the FCS there's some very very very low budget and absolutely terrible teams)

I'll stop here and do a quick comparison to Troy and Neal Brown, who I do believe to be a solid candidate as well. Troy is right around the same Sagarin rating as North Texas, so NDSU would be 15 points better than than Troy according to Sagarin. That alone doesn't mean Klieman is a better coach than Brown but I do think it's important to take into account the strength of the team whose coach you are considering hiring... especially if it's been their program for 4 (NB) or 5 (CK) years..I would hope most rational people would agree

No, Sagarin ratings aren't perfect, but those ratings and similar power ratings are the basis of vegas point spreads. What's a better way to compare the strength of two teams? If you think you're sooo much smarter than those ratings, move to Vegas and you can become a millionaire in a couple weeks. Even for those that are delusional and do believe they are smarter than sagarin ratings... do you REALLY think your eye test is that much smarter? Even if you do, have you actually WATCHED the team you're instantly dismissing? Or are we too high and mighty to watch such a "small time" team because we've never won an athletic national championship in our university's history?

My point in addition to the above, if Klieman can maintain and elevate a program to the level they are at for 5 years (can't say it's not his team forever) in freaking FARGO!! North Dakota!... what could he do at an actual big time football program in a big time conference at Kansas State?

TL;DR: CK and NDSU is EXTREMELY UNDERVALUED and D1 FBS Group of 5 schools are EXTREMELY OVERVALUED in comparison (although NB is still a decent choice)... that's why Klieman is the ultimate big balls moneyball move.. If we'd be willing to stand firm and take the backlash from the uninformed or unwilling to educate themselves crowd.

Trophy presentation

Did ESPN not get their favored champ, so it wasn't going to televise the trophy presentation? All the Dr. Pepper crap in the world but no celebration for lowly KSU. Of course, we wouldn't want them to celebrate those Kansas kids and their teammates. Is there at least some film coverage of the presentation or did they just set the trophy outside the lockerroom door?

Football Voth's View: Appreciating the men who won the Big 12


So many more to name, but figured all of these guys deserved their due. Everyone feel free to shout out anyone else who deserves the shine!

Remaining recruits come on down

Edward’s
Randle
Manning
Spivey

Your only home is MHK. Playing for the best team in the land. The best coaches and the team with the most momentum in the big 12 and arguably anywhere.

Cats at 10-3 puts us just where we want to be now to dominate our region and get back to 1995-2003 level recruiting. Own our state and get into Texas and get more 4*’s.

The best game of the day. Herbie and Fowler. Game day. Jerry’s world.

Nothing was bigger.
