Yeah, I like that we're going to hose the Jayhawks.
 
“The Iowa State Cyclones return home for the last time during the 2025 season to hose the Kansas Jayhawks”

I know it’s a typo or autocorrect, but still works.

Shudder. Everyone picked the Cyclones. I feel better when some pick against us.

I can't recall, seems like almost none of the panel has picked the opponent this season. Maybe a couple in the KSU & Iowa games, perhaps a few during the 4-game skid.

It's fan-board experts and since most games have been close to "pick em," the writers do analysis and are likely to veer toward ISU.
 
Gut feelings are worthless.
My gut tells me we'll kick ass.
Big games for Abu and Carsten.
I like that. I think that would go a long way for our fans to feel better about this year.....make the home fans happy with a thumping, then go to Okie State and get a W and then a decent bowl opponent and the season is solid.

It’s the kiss of death. Also, why would you not pick KU just based on history?
Because every one of these guys pick Iowa State to win every game. A few of them went the other way against TCU. lol. There’s absolutely zero analysis or insight. I get it’s a homer site, but the picks are a waste of bandwidth. You’re not even picking against the spread and they’re .500.

You realize it’s only for entertainment value,, right? Not something to bet your house on? Or even…mine?

I mean, I’d prefer no one bets my house on the game, anyway.

IIRC they all picked TCU

Do linemen every get tired of run blocking? I don't think so? But I say we run the ball so much they ask for a pass play just for something new.
 
Our secondary looks to be less healthy than the TCU game with Josh Patterson still listed as questionable. I don't know how the defense replicates what they did at TCU vs Kansas.

Crossing fingers the offense takes a giant step forward Saturday.
