Surprised it was only a 10 point lost after reading this.

In the last two games, Baylor has rushed for over 200 yards per game in two convincing wins and Oklahoma has rushed for over 350 yards per game and had a nice win against OSU. In that same timeframe, we have been out rushed by 230 yards. It’s hard to win in November when you can’t run the ball and you can’t stop the run. Moving forward, is this the key to eventually playing in a Big12 Championship game? Can we ever win this conference without being able to line up and punch people in the mouth?

One thing that immediately stood out in The Battle 4 Atlantis was tempo. It was a fun brand of basketball and it was similar to the tempo we had in Maui last year. I was looking forward to that tempo throughout the year, but we seemed to pump the breaks on that strategy after giving up 98 points at historic CHA. Do you think we have the personnel to be a high tempo team or do you think we will settle into more of an offense like last year? Also, the rebounding differential has to be concerning, doesn’t it?

What are your thoughts on losing KSU for the last game of the year in 2020? Iowa at least gets an upgrade (Wisconsin), while we get WV, which I guess is better than Kansas.

Why does GTO sometimes use a red JFC in game threads and sometimes he doesn’t? Also, sometimes he’ll release it all at once and sometimes it’s a

Since I'm not apart of this week's mailbag I'm going to answer here. UAB not even close. First off it's postseason vs regular season, and second that team that lost to UAB had a great bracket to get to at least an elite eight if not a final four.

Yeah there's still games left for both teams so it's not that sudden jolt of awful...although, the KU loss in '05 with the North on the line was pretty miserable.

What are you three favorite comedians (living or dead)? Who are three popular comedians you have never thought were funny?

What bowl are we going to? Every website I’ve seen has said Liberty, but CW on the radio today said that if OU goes to the playoff we have a shot at getting ND in the Camping World Bowl.

Punching people in the mouth hurts when they're wearing helmets. That would also get the players ejected. Those are the facts.

Best breakfast sandwich and where to get it (not in your kitchen). Skipping to MBB and WBB Clones over the Fighting Frans and Frau Bluder's gang? I say yes we sweep them (it helps both game are in Hilton).

Let’s pretend that you’re Matt Campbell and you’re evaluating the Iowa State fanbase on the Barney Stinson Hot-Crazy scale. We are definitely hot in our support of a historically bad team, but we also get drunk and want you to fire Tom Manning at times. Where do you guys think we belong?
