There are social classes in college football and right now the Longhorns and Wildcats hang out in different circles. This game can be broken down into a lot of different manners, but the bottom line is that if you look at the two-deep line-ups on Saturday night for both teams, the Longhorns over-match KSU at essentially every position.

Sure the Wildcats will come out fired up, but that buzz should last for about a quarter and then I expect the Longhorns to dismantle the home team from that point on.

Look for the Longhorns to work very hard to establish the running game this weekend because they've averaged less than four yards per carry in four of their last six games. That has Mack Brown concerned. As for the defense, they should be able to confuse and rattle Josh Freeman over four quarters.

Texas 38 - Kansas State 6

There's been some talk this week about how Kansas State has been better than people expected and there's even been some discussion on whether or not the Wildcats can play Texas close in Manhattan.

Umm … no.

This is a simple matter of talent, and Texas and Kansas State are on two entirely different levels. In doing my positional breakdown, K-State really wasn't that close to having an edge in a single area, and that talent gap will be reflected early and often in Saturday's game.

Mack Brown mentioned this week that the team is really going to try to get the run game going, and my gut tells me this is the week it happens. If Kansas State plays an "honest" defense and doesn't go overboard in stacking the line, I fully expect Jamaal Charles to pop at least big one.

Texas wins every phase of the game in this one.

The Texas Longhorns are going to come out and flex their muscle on the offensive line and the run game. This might not be as big of score as some would predict because I think the Texas style of play is going to create a shortened game. After watching upsets after near upsets, Texas will be ready to play and play well.

I am still so humbled by the Louisville Cardinals losing that I don't even know what to expect out of Saturday night! Okay, so that is taking it a couple of steps too far...

The Little Apple is going to be rocking at the start of Saturday night's contest between Texas and Kansas State unfortunately for fans clad in purple only a few of the burnt orange faithful will still be rocking by halftime. KSU is one of the bigger Big 12 surprises this season, but the Wildcats are fortunate they play in the Northern division of the conference. This game will be close at the end of the first quarter ... maybe.

Go cats were probably the only k-state fans on the board!!!

I know Michael Bishop and played football with his brother.


The only thing I care about Kansas State, Bishop was bad ass.

When most (not ALL, but most) Texas fans I know of do nothing but brag and insult every other team even when unprovoked, I don't think a little gloating is uncalled for.

[BeerIsGood!]

lol. funny thread title. Hey, KState played a great game and UT played like shit most of the game. If you play that bad against a good team you deserve to lose. Props to Freeman and KState.

K-State fans have earned all the gloating rights they want...their team earned it with a hell of a game.

[j-6]

Interesting. Is this guy the only K-State fan on the board? The Wildcats don't get much love around this forum. Nobody even started a "Holy shit, Bob Huggins landed in the Little Apple!" thread here.

I'll give the Wildcats credit. Beating the defending national champions with a first year head coach (I think one of the TV commentators said he was only 35 years old, too) and getting bowl eligibility's plenty to be proud of.

By the way, what's up with the "So-and-so's family stadium" trend? Trying to copy the Okies?

edit: Your "gloating" material was pulled off of a UT message board. After reading some of the ridiculous Spurs-related drivel posted here, you shouldn't be surprised that some orangebloods thought the Horns might win by 35 points or whatever. Take it in context.

Bill Snyder basically saved Kansas State's football program. I think it was a good choice. OU sold the rights to Gaylord Entertainment. IMO, K-State did it the right way.

[K-State Spur]

Actually, that's not quite true. KSU was never in danger of dropping football. However, if Bill Snyder had not resurrected the program (can you resurrect something that was never alive in the first place?), we were going to get kicked out of the Big 8 and would have become a WAC school on tier with a Colorado State type (nothing against the rams) instead of a solid BCS program.

[samikeyp]

Ok....saved from mediocrity? I think saved is still the appropriate term. Regardless of the terminology, I think we can all agree what Snyder did was incredible.

[K-State Spur]

hehe. more drastic than that. most cat fans would have killed for mediocrity pre-snyder.

i agree with your message though. i think barry switzer said it best when he said that snyder wasn't the coach of the year, he was the coach of the century.

[samikeyp]

True.

Congrats K-state. You played a helluva game and came away with a big win. I know there are a lot of woulda, coulda, shoulda's out there (and some maybe rightfully so), but the scoreboards shows 45-42 in your favor, and at the end of the day that's all that matters. Great job!
