As disappointing as it is to lose this game up at halftime, I couldn't be happier with this team. With the talent we had and still got six wins, that's great coaching, period. With the more speed we are bringing in, we'll continue to improve! Way to go Clones, CPR and crew, we're going bowling...can't take that away from us

they did a great job shutting down our running game. if our o-line played better and gave AA more time to throw, we coulda put up alot more points. sounded like arnaud hit alot of nice passes when he was given time to throw

well put sir!! alot to look forward to with this coaching staff. they are doing a good job with recruiting also.
Fixed it for you.
That being said... let the speculation actually begin on what crappy location we'll be at...
Best case scenario, we end up with 5 teams ahead of us, and us and A&M with 6 wins? I need to check what bowls are available. Sounds like an Independence Bowl date.
considering the entire season and not looking at any specific game...I don't feel like ISU has really improved all that much over the year. I feel the same about them now as I did in week 4. Of course injuries haven't helped but that's part of life. I'm happy with 6 wins compared to last year but don't feel like they made the huge leap they could have.
Kansas loses out they finish at 5-7 - not going to a bowl
K-State loses tonight, they finish at 6-6. But with 2 of this wins being against FCS opponents, and only able to count one of those for bowl eligibility, they also won't be going to a bowl.
Colorado's already ineligible, and after losing to aTm today Baylor will be as well.
That leaves 8 Big 12 bowl eligible teams with 8 Big 12 bowl slots. Methinks we're going bowling.
youre right.... i mean what the hell? Im positive if we blitzed missouri would totally exploit it! Good grief, what are we trying to do on some of those plays? Walter's call sounds like this, "Arnaud takes the snap, under pressure, now avoids it, rolls to his right. looking downfield. throws it deep!.." etc.
So when Missouri rushes 7, we cant get one of our 4 recievers open quickly?????
Clearly we didn't clean up every mistake from the past two years, but you could say that even if we went 7-5 or 8-4. The point is that the turnaround done here this year is absolutely jaw-dropping. We weren't supposed to win a conference game this year (maybe an outside shot of beating Baylor at home). Under Chiz I'm convinced we wouldn't have either, the talent as a whole is not great, we are embarassingly slow and yet we won 6 games and 3 in the conference and are going bowling. This team plays as hard as any team I have seen, that's the only thing that gave us a shot today against a far-more talented Mizzou team and we had them on the ropes...I just can't wait until better talent arrives to help (not trying to knock our current players at all, couldn't be prouder of them).
eeeh....
I promise you we're going bowling, the extra practice time we get to that point is invaluable to our team and new players...would love to see us in a big bowl game but I'll take whatever, as long as we are involved in the bowl season, which I guarantee we are...put it in the books
