What are your thoughts on the Wildcats 09 season,  any projections on what kind of record they might have.  It seems as though synder has surrounded himself with a pretty good coaching staff.   Im saying 7-5 with a bowl win.  Am I being to pressimistic?

Does anyone else think they are getting snubed by the rankings?  13-0 and the best they are is 20th.  It isnt as though the games they have played have been close calls.  They seem to be very dominate.

WCman...do you even watch football??? do you even know anything about the game???  I am being serious...because some of the comments you post on here are so off the wall that I sometimes wonder if you are a woman trying to impress her Husband thinking she knows things about football....You stated in another forum that Clemson has a horrible running game...a bad line and a enept QB....Did you watch Clemson  play once this season? did you see the stats from the Gator bowl?  Clemson was lead by their running game...(Called Thunder and Lighting)  CJ Spiller(Lighting) is a 1st or 2nd round pick as a junior if he comes out!(651 yards rushing, 430 yards receiving, 10 total tds)  James Davis(Thunder) is going to also be drafted soon!(755 yards rushing 11 td's)  Their O line is one of the best in the ACC!  They were preseason ranked in the top 10!!(i know preseason rankings dont matter much but it gives a good outlook of what the season holds)

You also said that this win is a Step backwards for Nebraska...This game could have easily been a 35-0 blowout...Clemson scored 21 points off of 3 NU turnovers(1 Fumble returned for a td, 1 interception returned down to the 10 yard line and a muffed punt on Nebraska's own 35)  Nebraska allowed 210 TOTAL YARDS! THEY HAD 4 YARDS RUSHING!  we held James Davis to 26 yards...Spiller to 17 yards...Their qb had -42 yards rushing because we PUT HIM ON HIS BACK 5 TIMES!!!!

 I suggest you do some research before you post anymore stupid comments on here it makes you look pretty bad..  WCMAN you arent the only one that does this..Some of you moan and groan because I post on here...But for the Love of God at least I know FOOTBALL!!!!

Nebraska beating Clemson was a Big Win for the Big 12 and an Even bigger win for Nebraska!

Being a K-State Fan even from far away I was so thrill to see Darren Sproles being the star of the game against the Colts, here is a link from yahoo

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/recap?gid=20090103024

Way to go Darren a small man with a big heart and the desire to do his best! we are so proud of you, also Coach Snyder should be proud of one of his former players, it shows that Coacj Sbyder did something really goos, few K-State palyers are now in the NFL - a proud KSU. 

Also welcome back coach!
