Influx of bandwagon fans jumping off, and then regulars who don't want to hear the BS waiting until they go away.
And it’s KState week so that twatwaffle Surly is around trying to pick fights.

A team that wins in the margins and historically makes most of what they got vs a team that historically and recently shoots themselves in the foot and finds ways to lose games.

It looks like there are not very many tickets left. I think if we won last week this would already be sold out. But I wonder if it will now. It looks like we will be closer than any other game this year, by the ticket website there are not many singles left, besides resales.

Curiously, by the official numbers listed, to me it seems like they are lower than what is left when I have looked late in the week before games. Makes me wonder if we have some suites open this year, that dont show. Or it could just more than it looks. Possibly, released from the visiting team late, usually they are released early and sold by us though.

Blue are left available. Pink are resale.

There are usually a decent number of K State fans at the game and with their start I’d expect that to continue.

Maybe it was just a TV-audio thing, but I swear KU's crowd was the un-loudest I remember ... and it looked like attendance was fairly high (for KU) plus being 4-0 so it was a huge situation.
It was supposed to be a sellout, but when they did show the stands there seemed to be a lot of open seats. So?? It was definitely louder than sometimes there. But that doesnt take much. I almost went, but glad I didnt.

Hate the feeling for this game. KSU is practically the same offense as KU but with better players for the most part. KSU defense is better as well.

As usual I'm not too worried about keeping their offensive output down, but good god we have to learn to score some points.

Duh!
Yeah, I think we all forget that "talent better across the board" doesn't always make up for less experience in key areas.
And it’s still relative to our competition; meaning we are still behind most in the conference.

True, but Campbell has an eye for talent. Just because the recruiting sites don't like a guy doesn't mean much to me. Everyone beyond the superstars is a crapshoot. As long as we're getting Campbell's type of guys, we'll be competitive, particularly in the new Big 12.

Dean is actually a great example. He’s our best TE and as a Redshirt Junior has a total of 4 catches this year (1 last year). Nobody expected him to be Kohler but that is one of the worst stat lines after 5 games that you’ll see.

Again, I’m not trying to make a recruiting argument because it’s easy to pick out specific guys on either side of an argument. I’m just pointing out what I’ve heard or seen in many discussions. That while recruiting has gotten better, it’s arguably not as good as the success would support.
NIL?
