Is this a sport writers poll? I hope we can do better than ninth place. Teams with new coaches at the bottom.

Polls are horsecrap ways to keep pollsters in biz. Pay no attention to them. Just cheer for the Cats.

There's a lot of question marks going into this season for the Big12, in large part because of 4 new coaches. I would put the Wildcats as high as 6 and low as 9. Though, I would not be surprised to see them finish slightly higher than that. But there are just a lot of question marks for the Cats.

Yep. Too many to finish higher than 5th, imo. WR corps has lost two expected contributors, one which was our top guy, plus lack of true playmakers (I mean 60 catches type with stretch the field capabilities), an apparent, average, unproven RB corps, missing our best LB, then new specials?KsJoey wrote: ↑July 11th, 2019, 9:06 amThere's a lot of question marks going into this season for the Big12, in large part because of 4 new coaches.

I think 5-7 or 6-6 is what we are. People can play it off, but losing Zuber, Rison, and Hughes aren't losses that average teams can afford when depth is a team issue.
Keep our foot on KU's throat, find a way to get 6, and I think we should be on the right track under Klieman.
Just trying to be realistic.

O-line is likely going to be a concern as well. Risner and Beecham are pretty big holes to fill. Just continue dominating the squawkers.

I think getting any bowl bid would be a good season for HCCK and the Cats.wild@nite wrote: ↑July 11th, 2019, 10:15 amYep. Too many to finish higher than 5th, imo.

A person can be a socialist in a capitalist society, but a person is not allowed to be a capitalist in a socialist society.

Bulletin board material.
Hang it up in the locker room, training room, weight room, cafeteria, all over the practice facility and have each player put it somewhere where they see it every day as they get up and go to bed.
