Texas Tech Red Raiders at Kansas Jayhawks, Oct 25, 2008 11:00 AM CDT

This game is large. It isn't incredibly large, of course, as I mentioned, because of our Big 12 possibilities stay essentially the same whether we win or lose.

But, it is oh-so-big in numerous other ways. National perspective, allowing us some leeway the rest of the way, proving ourselves, all that sort of stuff. Plus, a win here sets us up nicely for clinching the 'Best Game of the Week' award for the week of November 15th, when the University of Texas pays us a visit. And as long as Texas stays in the BCS National Title hunt, with an 8-2 Kansas team, College Gameday will likely pay us a visit. Oh, and I'll be there. Can't wait.

But that isn't important now. For now, let's just focus on the Red Raiders. We need to come out on fire, outplay the Red Raiders at their own game and, hopefully, our defense will show up enough for us to win. Hopefully.

With the homer in me and all that, I'll take us to win; Kansas 42 Texas Tech 35. A good-but-not-great effort by our defense is enough, as our offense is clicking on all cylinders.

Won't be here for the Game Thread, hopefully some of you will carry it on.

You should go to Lincoln

I actually grew up in Nebraska, and have been to at least 10 games up there. If you’ve never been, Lincoln can be a pretty good time. And who knows, you may get to witness history, seeing KU win there for the first time since The Great Depression (or whenever it was).

Wow

What a terrible 2 weeks… No more ranking for us, hopefully we can still get to a decent bowl.

if we come out...

get our confidence back against K-State and win that one we are eligible, then it really hinges on the Nebraska game in Lincoln in my opinion as to whether we really lock it up…but as far as the top 25 that aint happening unless we beat Texas…

In Retrospect

I don’t know why the hell I was confident about this game. Our secondary is terrible, and we were going against the most dynamic passing attack in college football.

Daymond Patterson playing cornerback? This is starting to look like the bad old days…
