Cool stat. Just as cool that we’re also responsible for two of the home losses of teams in front of us.
And we beat two of the other ones on the list in a bowl game

The thing that jumps out to me about that is that Gil Brandt has his HoF bust as his Twitter profile pic. Pretentious much, Gil?
Key word being “other”. We beat Boise at their house, which is the topic I was responding to.Boise State, Oregon and Wisconsin makes 3.
I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s in jest.The thing that jumps out to me about that is that Gil Brandt has his HoF bust as his Twitter profile pic. Pretentious much, Gil?
He's certainly earned it, but that's a bold move.He’s earned it.
Maybe, but ours was not that great either. Hopefully, we have implemented some changes that facilitate the QB's having the opportunity for more uncontested throws into space and that will make defenses account for us causing enough damage downfield that the very talented RB's also have a greater chance than they had constantly running into 8 man fronts last season.A few days ago I was road tripping and listen to the KSU CATPower podcast. They were discussing this years KSU team and they began a lively discussion about last years passing game. Both the insiders on the podcast essentially said no QB would have been successful at KSt throwing the ball as the passing scheme had become so elementary that it couldn’t possibly be successful. They described the scheme as being embarrassingly bad.
Now I’m not saying Delton won’t suck at TCU but at least he should have a better throwing scheme and better WRs to throw to. That has to account for something
Could be, and as I said above he's absolutely earned the right to do whatever he wants. There's probably about a 90% chance someone else did it for him anyway and a 100% chance that he doesn't give 2 [ Finebaum ]s what anyone thinks about it, whether in jest or not.I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt and assume it’s in jest.
Don't forget the nepotism at OC eitherA few days ago I was road tripping and listen to the KSU CATPower podcast.

Plus Priest and Sanders were really good corners.Damn. Those 2008 - 2010 teams were just ridiculous. Hard to imagine emulating that kind of team again. Look at some of the names on that 2008 team:
Jerry Hughes, Tejay Johnson, Andy Dalton, Colin Jones, Stephen Hodge, Ed Wesley, Jason Phillips, Daryl Washington, Tank Carder, Robert Henson, Clint Gresham, Marcus Cannon, Marshall Newhouse, Jake Kirkpatrick, Jeremy Kerley, Jimmy Young, Wayne Daniels

I don't want to say what happens at the end of that dream, though.
Y u do disTexas gets 1 second added to the clock after the game ends and takes our spot in the National Championship game?
And yet there are those here that seem to think we can't ever take that next step unless we start recruiting better. I think the average recruiting class of those teams was probably ranked in the 50's or 60's. It makes no sense to have the opinion that those teams were as good as any in the country and then say we need to start recruiting better now in order to be able to really compete. Our last 3-4 classes dwarfed those of the 2008-2010 teams in terms of signing higher profile, higher "stars" players.
