One Last Ghost

KU (9-0) @ OSU (5-4) | Boone Pickens Stadium (capacity: 48,000? ave: 40,059)
Oklahoma State is the last team to payback from the 2006 season. Oddly enough, we find the Cowboys in a similar place to where they found us last year -- one week removed from a crushing fourth quarter collapse at home. I've seen some lows, but the post-game from OSU last year was my personal trip to the brink. The Baylor game was just a plunge into the absurd. The loss to OSU was just one of those, "I know the pieces fit" moments. One year later and it all makes a little more sense. In case, you need to get up for a chance at a national championship, here is your bulletin board material:

The Kansas Pretenders

"Kansas is now No. 4 in the BCS, and No. 5 in both the AP and USA Today Coaches poll which is an absolute joke, but that will not be confirmed until Oklahoma State routs the Jayhawks in Stillwater on Saturday night. That's right, I said it. OSU could not prove that Texas was a pretender last week, but they will prove that the South is still the dominant division, when they beat Kansas on Saturday night."

Living in the Past

Nice Work By The Leader In Sports

First you get Lou Holtz with a sad little version of a locker room "pep talk" last night stating that "Kansas hasn't played anyone. They haven't played anyone in the Top 25!" Next you get this nice little tidbit on the website. How many factual errors can you make in a 4" x 4" space?

See You In 2010
