October is upon us. Anyone catch the Okie Light v A&M game last night? You could make a Big 12 contender with a team full of the players that Mark Mangino and Kansas missed on in recent years. Not a knock on the big man, just saying we were close...just couldn't sell the dream quite as well as Mike Sherman and a 40 year old man.

Springer is KU's working man | CJOnline.com
Springer has looked good this season. A step quicker, solid instincts and some big hits. It's good to see a guy get back to normal.
Griffin has KU's attention | CJOnline.com
Attention is good, but can they stop him?

Unfortunately we will lose
most Texas kids to the atm. Also the new exceptional interest, along with tens of millions of dollars that Boone is pouring into Okie State makes it tough to sell our new facilities.
it wasn't just Texas kids...
Okie Light has a true freshman starting at corner from somewhere in Western Kansas…pretty sure we didn’t even offer.

OSU has taken some of the state of Kansas's better players in recent years.
Luckily the 2011 class doesn’t look that way, for whatever reason. However they may be picking up one of the better bball players in Kansas.

It all evens out
I don’t believe Okie light even offered Marcus Henry or James Holt and both were right in their backyard.
build a damn football program, beat some ass, and get on tv more.
Derek Fine too
maybe….I can’t remember if Okie offered him or not.

No longer living in KS
It really seems Kansas and KCMO is producing a lot more bluechips in recent years which is a plus for us if we can hold many of them.
That game was awsome
That kicker absolutely nailed the game winner too. Perfect kick. I love it when the kickers get some luv
Shit happens when you win championships
Question becomes-
did that game tell us anything about either team? Was that the middle of the pack in the Big 12 fighting each other or potential game to win the championship?
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.
People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball...Rock Chalk Talk
No way that
either of those teams has a defense to compete for the south’s champion.
Tells us that niether one has changed
Both score a lot and give up a lot of points. Both could probably knock off Texas or OU, but probably won’t. Same old Big 12 South really

Think I'll disagree
the gap between OU/UT and AtM and OSU has narrowed considerably from what I’ve seen so far this year.

It has
But I gotta see em beat the big boys before I’m ready for change

I agree, it's just that "narrowed considerably" still might not be enough
for them to really give UT/OU a run for their money.
The only people who really know where [the edge] is are the ones who have gone over it.

I'd bet A&M or OSU aren't a combined 0-4 against UT and OU this year.
It’ might only be 1-3 but there will be an “upset” somewhere in there.

I’d put that more on OU and UT being down than either team from last night looking legitimately strong

Agreed.
But it counts the same in the end for this season.

It told me...
we need to fear the A&M defense. I’m not sure Webb could survive some of the hits that Weeden took.
It also told me we need to fear the OSU offense cause damn they can be explosive.

both those teams...
just look faster than we do….and how many times did you see a different Okie Light receiver snag a catch in traffic and find a way to get five more yards by cutting and accelerating. I just don’t feel like we have those guys playing for us at the moment.

Agree.
Look how slow So. Miss. made us look. We’d make Jerrod Johnson look like Usain Bolt.
the good news is...
Johnson doesn’t throw a great ball and seems to struggle with making the right decision. If we can force a few turnovers in that one and continue to take good care of the ball I feel better about that than the Cowboys.

I agree, but I think we'll have our chances in both games.
Both A&M and OSU are in Lawrence, so we have the home field advantage.
A&M (my other school, last night was a real roller coaster) —
After a great start, the last two games (FIU 27-20, @OSU 35-38) JJ has alternated between looking real shaky (4 INTs against FIU, 4 INTs and 1 lost F against OSU) and looking great. If he doesn’t improve, we have a real chance, especially since the Aggie D showed signs of significantly wearing down in the 2nd half (OSU adjustments weren’t that great, but they did much better at not shooting themselves in the feet with turnovers and penalties as they made their plays).
OSU — again, when not shooting selves in feet — looked really good against their first real opponent (I don’t count season-opener Washington State as a “real” opponent given they annihilated the Cougars as everyone else except Montana State has this year — and it took Montana State mistakes in the 4th quarter for WSU to score 16 points in a 23-22 squeaker that has been WSU’s only win so far). After last night’s game, I’m not so much impressed with Weeden (don’t get me wrong, I think he is very capable) as I am with his receivers. They are a QB’s best buddies, and are going to be a real problem turning short passes into long gains.
But the OSU D has a soft underbelly in the middle, and if we can exploit it as A&M did last night (when JJ wasn’t turning the ball over), we can beat OSU in Lawrence, too. It’s going to take everyone’s A game to do so, but it’s possible.
"So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."
oh absolutely...
having both at home is a huge plus for us this year.

Yes.
It seemed like every single one of their WRs could explode for YAC….and often did.
And Kendell Hunter runs HARD and always falls forward upon contact.
I tell you what…..they didn’t look like a team with a new OC, a new offense, and replacing a million staters to me.
