Strengths: The offense. The passing game has been a revelation and the run game has experienced no dropoff despite the loss of Jon Cornish. Todd Reesing is an emerging NCAA celebrity and his back-up Kerry Meier delights both with his slash versatility and his Wooderson impression.
YAY! I GROW OLDER AND THEY STAY THE SAME AGE!
Weaknesses: They can be thrown on. Also, when the paper magazines said that Texas A&M was going to be the toughest opponent they would face, the upset is that at 6-4, with an about to be fired coach, they are close to accurate.
The Superstar: Leader in the clubhouse for coach of the year Mark Mangino.
Names to Know: Reesing, Meier, Jake Sharp-RB, Brandon McAnderson-RB, Marcus Henry-WR, Aqib Talib-CB
Best chance to get beat: November 24th vs. Missouri
BCS Title Game Chances: 33% (They’re a team that even at this late date, haven’t really been tested. Sure, they’re pretty good. But even if the MSM expects them to fall, there is always the chance that they will whimscially bluff their way into the BCS title game. Even so, they would need help from say…Illinois or UCLA.)
Random Pop Culture Avatar:
Fat guy in a little coat.
When I think of out of nowhere successes, I think of Tommy Boy. And KU fits the bill of the most whimsical moment of the movie. Kerry Meier’s mustache? Fat guy in a little coat. Hanging 76 on Nebraska? Fat guy in a little coat. This has other subtext’s that I may be missing, but whatever. You find them? Comment below.

It doesn’t matter that ku played 4 NSE Pillsbury States in the non-con. It doesn’t matter that they’ve managed to go 9 weeks and counting without playing a truly good team. It doesn’t even matter if they somehow get by Okie Lite for game 10 and beat ISU (which they should in their sleep) for another non-challenge in their 11th game. None of this matters because the beakers are going to get worked 11/24.
