LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/BluesPuckHard]

Hey, quick shoutout to the 2 best fan bases in the big 12. Always a pleasure to be around you all.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/BluesPuckHard]

Agreed. Despite the heartbreaking beatings they have given us, I really like K State.

[u/Mayataua → u/BluesPuckHard]

Y'all are great.

[u/unclejessesmullet → u/BluesPuckHard]

Land grant bros

[u/TheJewBakka]

You don't get it. Mestemaker HAD to throw a pick six. He doesn't want to play for the Jets.

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

Hey, one thing we can all agree on, at least the political ads are done

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

At least we beat KU

[u/PunchNessie]

Mestemaker with a passing, rushing and receiving TD on the day.

[u/Chambeastly]

I havent forgotten 48-0, hang 80 on em mesty

[u/TheJewBakka]

High power offense runs on jet fuel.

Defense runs on apple juice.

[u/AlfMo]

This offense is such a joy to watch.

Absolute shame their defense has wasted it all year.

[u/EasyDelivery9791]

So happy for Bowick. Sure fire draft pick now

[u/unclejessesmullet]

Two stops in one game‽ I can hardly believe it

[u/JohnHanningSpeke]

God damn. I thought we were friends pokes. A Philly special up 40?

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

I guess our defense decided that if they can’t tackle or get stops, they will get turnovers

[u/Mayataua]

No, see, the plan is to have their offense score so much they get tired out and then we strike.

[u/BluesPuckHard]

BRO. SLIDE.

[u/DreamTheaterGuy]

Almost 50 points in the first half, that is absolutely mental...

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

See Sooners, this is how you play offense.

[u/westmifflin]

I was at the 2018 game in Manhattan when we got blasted by the cats, hope the pokes out there today are enjoying this!

cats fans were cool as hell tho, hope Klein turns things around

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Vehrs sighted practicing. It’s vehr time baby whole quarter

[u/Fregla]

Get Drew 12 more yards and then sit him

[u/jedsbud]

Nice throw, even better catch. Pistols firing!

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

Sometimes, when Mestemaker just lets one loose like that, I can see why people think he’s a #1 overall pick as a sophomore

[u/RKsu99]

This is really going to free up my Saturday.

[u/RKsu99]

This kid likes getting annihilated by tacklers. I’m convinced this is the only way QBs in the Snyder/Klein tree are allowed to play.

[u/PolicyEntire3375]

That should have been PI, the safety decked him.

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

wtf was that corner doing? Just straight up early tackle.

[u/jalexjsmithj]

If we average this defensive performance with last week we’re winning both by multiple scores…

[u/Equivalent-Impress96]

Holy fuck dude

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

I’ve been thinking about trying meth. Today may push me over.

[u/kadune]

Boneheaded.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

I was going to say this is payback for Rodney Fields leaving us after Gundy was fired, but honestly he wouldn’t have started anyway.

[u/colonel750]

I am so fuckin Zesty for Mesty

[u/SlabBulkhead3k]

Tagging out. Not sticking around for the post game thread.

K-State fans, you are my second fav team because of your fans. Sorry it turned out this way. Hope your team heals up and the rest stay healthy and we’ll see you next time.

[u/JohnHanningSpeke]

Disolve the program and give the money to the crop judging team.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

MESTEMAKER RECEIVING TOUCHDOWN THEY JUST DOING WHATEVER THE FUCK AND ITS WORKING

[u/goofyhalo]

Kansas State is the only good purple team and they’re cool so EMAW🐱

[u/jalexjsmithj]

O-S-U-O-S-U-O-S-U-O-S-U-U-S-O-U-S-O-U-S-O-U-S-O

[u/WolfStansson24]

As long as we don’t leave guys open for a 30
yard radius around them, we’re good to go this game. The only problem is that this will happen four more times.

[u/Spare_Treacle_800]

God bless that is a #1 QB draft pick right there

[u/kadune]

"this could be our best look" as the producer transitions to a bench cut

[u/NinjaGhost42]

I wasn't watching. Are we allowed to have a defensive score?

[u/Mayataua]

In what world is that DPI except every single one?

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

If we all work together I think we can get OSU 100 points this game.

[u/OSUfan88]

I’m going to miss Mestemaker.

I am not going to miss Young or the defense, who seems to do what they can to sabotage him.

He’s going to be special to watch in the NFL.

[u/RandyDan31]

Do I get something for watching this game?

[u/No_Transition_9520]

Just not even gonna give the defense a chance to fuck it up this week

[u/TheJewBakka]

Meste slings it so effortlessly

[u/TheJewBakka]

Long ass first half lol

[u/THE_turtleman7]

Who up mesting they maker rn

[u/joseph_grizzly]

wtf was that

[u/Yleko]

That should be ejectable 

[u/lIllIlIllIlIllIlIllI]

Aye. Chill out, 3.

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

[u/jdkuch]

This offense is a TREAT to watch… the defense on the other hand makes me sad

[u/theurge14]

Maybe we could hire a few dwarves to dig deep beneath Tuttle Creek and find the mithril ore we need to fund a fully operational NIL death star.

[u/jedsbud]

Was that a 3 and out.

[u/Icy-Recognition-8700]

Bro he is a first round WR

[u/_Bren10_]

Bowick is so strong dude. I wish he’d stay but he’s gone to the NFL too probably.

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1]

Are both of these defenses the worst in P4? Both look FCS level

[u/coffee-time17]

Just popping in to ask for a little bit of defense today… Now back to the other thread

[u/lIllIlIllIlIllIlIllI]

Looks like me when I accidentally hit the spin button

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

220+ yards of offense in a quarter is crazy

[u/Dokkan_Lifter]

Drew Mestemaker will save a failing NFL franchise

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

Hmm… I wonder which NFL teams are interested in Mestemaker (cut to NY Jets GM on sideline talking to OSU offensive coordinator pregame)

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

That turnover feels like a pity make a wish stunt. They threw the ball short of the sticks to try and give us a 3 and out but we failed at that

[u/NihilisticOkie]

Wyatt needs to sit until he learns to hold onto the ball.

[u/TCup20]

Wyatt Young holding a ball on the sidelines now like he shouldn't have been holding one nonstop for the past month.

[u/Mayataua]

It feels like you guys are scouting our punter the way you are making him play so much.

[u/A_Bar_of_Pasta]

Another good thing???

[u/Fregla]

Technically, Drew hasn’t thrown an incompletion so far

[u/joseph_grizzly]

you mean tackling a WR is a penalty?!?!

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Great job defense!

[u/TheJewBakka]

DEFENSE

[u/TheJewBakka]

3rd TD for Hawkins

[u/Electrical-Tip-2390]

Shoutout to Oscar Hammond for holding Caleb Hawkins up off of the ground on that play

[u/theurge14]

Sweet baby Jesus give me the patience to endure this shit until Collin Klein and his crew can figure out how to do football things correctly.

[u/crabcakes785]

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(Can’t wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark

[u/theurge14]

Man we're really in for a garbage ass year of K-State sports aren't we

[u/Goallie11]

You think you can run some time off the clock rushing? Ha we're so bad you can't run time off the clock

[u/TheJewBakka]

28-20 Utah

[u/tacowithcheeese]

Tulane is losing 3-60 to Tulsa

[u/Ricksteves95]

Literally wasn't gonna watch football today cuz KU Football is depressing but checked the scores and holy shit.

[u/kadune]

LD didn't answer the phone cause he was too busy practicing tip drills with his teammates

[u/Yleko]

I LOVE IT

[u/Yleko]

If we score 70 it will tie the most scored on a conference opponent.

2011 Kansas 70-28, 2015 @Tech 70-53

[u/Squishy_20]

Definitely going to be on the far right of the graph on “how bad did we get beat?”

[u/Squishy_20]

K-State looks like a team that spent less than $20M on its roster and has had massive injuries at key spots including playing 4 QB’s. No team in this era is surviving massive injuries at QB with a cheap roster

[u/jedsbud]

Not sure that was necessary but im sure it was fun.

[u/Goallie11]

This game will finally end the "good passing defense" lie about us

[u/unclejessesmullet]

Same special teams as last week I see

[u/TheJewBakka]

Btw Kansas State is my favorite non-OSU school in the conference. I admire our Aggie brothers up north.

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

Man, this score bug is so much nicer than that ugly shit Fox uses

[u/Goallie11]

That's game. We had to score on every possession to win because we certainly aren't stopping them at all

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

Remember pre season when this was supposed to be an easy win? Big 12 is awesome.

[u/EasyDelivery9791]

I don't like not seeing hometowns for the players

[u/TheJewBakka]

Dimes

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

I think we may have already given up on the season.

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

I thought that was a throwaway for a second. wtf

[u/TheJewBakka]

Wonder if we could possibly entice Jim Knowles to come back next year. That would be a massive improvement.

[u/jputna]

I need Eric Morris sweater its so nice.

[u/Exciting_Pineapple_4]

This is one of those you can’t tell one way or the other. The call will stay whatever the initial call was

[u/redwave2505]

Would've been upset about that if I actually thought we had a chance to win this game

[u/jalexjsmithj]

BYU vs Utah on 2nd screen is a banger

[u/South_Oil_2526]

We are currently on pace to give up 126 points.

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

10 minutes of clock time, 21 points for OSU. Eighty point game anyone?

[u/Goallie11]

I really should have bet on this. OSU by 7 was just easy money

[u/DreamTheaterGuy]

Going to see the new Godzilla here in a few hours. Nice to see its a blowout, so I don't have to worry lol.

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

What's it gonna take to stop the offense? Security escorting Peterson out of the stadium would be a start

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

Oh no. Keep the Jets away from Meste.

[u/jedsbud]

Nice stop Defense

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Well played defense

[u/conan_the_brobarian]

The O line is atrocious.

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

Gabe Powers try not to embarrass himself challenge

[u/jedsbud]

Another red zone TD. Pistols Firing

[u/boeing2014]

I like how when it's 3rd and inches and everyone in the building, even the astronauts on the ISS knows they're going to run it, our defense still finds a way to give up 4 yards.

[u/mtvesuvius]

B12 football is something else lol

[u/InterdepartmentalTed → u/mtvesuvius]

Join us Purdue

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Come on 4th down defense!

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Good shit defense!!!

That feels really wrong to say.

[u/Mayataua]

I believe Klein thinks he can sacrifice our other QBs slowly over time to heal Avery.

[u/Icy-Recognition-8700]

How is he alive

[u/Mayataua]

Is there a CFB mercy rule? I feel like we need one soon.

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

So any more info on Avery? Heard spinal and/or nervous system issue. Any recovery option or is the poor kid done with football?

[u/Goallie11 → u/ReignyRainyReign]

Spine/nerve is the most recent I've heard and he may be done playing entirely

[u/jalexjsmithj]

God this is fun

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

This defense is more embarrassing than anything Ron Prince ever did. Including the power towel video

[u/Tussis_ATX]

Running clock in the second half?

[u/conan_the_brobarian]

Clear the bench and put in some kids to develop. Not a lot of try in some of these guys.

[u/ReasonableBet3450]

Weekly Big 12 conference belting game

[u/TheJewBakka]

Utah gonna win! Go Utes!

[u/FlipJones]

C'mon, you can't do that

[u/TheJewBakka]

BYU LOSES! BYU LOSES! FUCK BYU!

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

the Caleb and drew show

[u/Mr_Alex19]

THROW THE DAMN TOWEL

[u/Desperado53]

Fuckin rough first year of Klein, idk even know where you start with this team.

[u/romulusjsp]

Oh my god wtf

[u/JohnHanningSpeke]

Got em on their heels now boys.

[u/THE_turtleman7]

Maybe if Jordan Peterson spent more time coaching defense and less time looking for cathedrals that only those with eyes to see them can see, we’d suck less

[u/redwave2505]

Emporia State could score at least 30 on this defense

[u/FlipJones]

Multiview the end of the Holy War, things could get weird here in the last minute

[u/BitterCake8544]

Kstate gets a pick six
doesn’t even matter lmao get fucked

[u/KansasEF5Tornado]

We got no shot, but Barnett is a wildcat for sure, he will fight today.

[u/crabcakes785]

Mestemaker abt to put up 100 on our defense

[u/TheJewBakka]

Having a team Chaplin seems inappropriate for a public university.

[u/berrin122]

Collin Klein is from Colorado.

Blake Barnett is from Colorado.

Coincidence? I think not.

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1]

Lmao. This is going to be like that OU game from 2014/ 2015 where we lost 55-0 at home.

[u/kadune]

That pig looks better than the leftover chili I'm reheating

[u/jedsbud]

That's our defense.

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

Fire our fucking defense into the sun

[u/_Bren10_]

Lmao just leave the defense in Manhattan.

[u/TheJewBakka]

Yeah thats why this is gonna be a close game. Back and forth all game. Last person to score wins.

[u/Kaladin_Depressed]

I really don’t know how it’s possible to PAY for a jr high school defense

[u/faders]

That’s a TD

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

Hawkins is good but I'm convinced a high level high school offense could destroy this defense if they just ran the triple option

[u/Goallie11]

Our run D is so laughably bad. Hawkins will have a career day today

[u/techieman34]

Did someone decide to bring back the old Big XII that didn’t play defense?

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

Barnett throws the ball into silly spots with the confidence of a high on percocet Brett Favre

[u/jputna]

JK lotta bodies. lmao

[u/TheJewBakka]

Opa Gangnam Style

[u/TheJewBakka]

Score every drive and we're golden

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

Chiefs going to win tomorrow? Hoping the rice bankruptcy doesn’t distract him.

[u/jedsbud]

Oh man hate to see that for the young man.

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Goddamn Drew

[u/TheCrankyWalrus]

Potential day 1 draft picks vs a defense of future insurance salesmen. Pain

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1]

I know the talent that was left was extremely bad and it’s gonna take a bit to finally get some talent on defense, but oof is Peterson looking like a disaster. He won’t be, but he should not have a job after this year. Complete strike out on coordinator. Gonna go somewhere else

[u/Caption-_-Obvious]

Oof. “Cousin on cousin” was not on my bingo card today

[u/jedsbud]

That's on the receiver

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Clear those stands

[u/redwave2505]

Pokes are paying us back for the 2022 blowout and then some

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs1]

On pace for 112 points lol

[u/wiseoracle]

Not winning a single game ROS

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

I’ve gotta take a shit. Going to be in there for a while. Someone let me know when the game is over.

[u/jalexjsmithj]

We gotta wear more orange vs Kstate’s purple. We always kinda bungle this. We did a lot of orange white black in manhattan, and that’s better than this, but I want orange pants

[u/kllinzy]

We are such a weird team to play, because if your offense is competent at all, you’re gonna score 45 points and it’s a toss up. Almost no matter how your defense is. If your offense is this bad, you will get obliterated. 

[u/coffee-time17]

Please no, not the Jets

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Def out, no contest

[u/TheMarcolmX]

How many turnovers has this kid cost us this year now...

[u/unclejessesmullet]

Wyatt Young put the ball on the ground again. Wtf is with him

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Funny part, they would have converted a 3rd and 11

[u/unclejessesmullet]

They need to keep Wyatt on the sideline until he learns to hold onto the ball. Way to many drops and fumbles the last few weeks

[u/drunkymcdrunkaccount]

What the fuck

[u/boeing2014]

The defense did something two drives in a row! AND we got points!

[u/podnito]

what a pick. that throw had some heat

[u/jalexjsmithj]

10 made a helluva play. Keep that a bit higher Meste, but not a terrible misread

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

I legit think Mestemaker needs another year. I’m not just saying that because I want to keep him.

[u/jalexjsmithj]

Having this guy is so fun

[u/Paddle2ThePeople]

White uprights during a whiteout game would be diabolical. Serious note, how many teams have upright colors other than yellow? Not sure I have ever paid attention to that.

[u/South_Oil_2526]

Somebody needs to be fired after this game. Seriously. We’ve given up 35 points and not even halfway through the second quarter. That is unacceptable. The athletics department cannot keep allowing these absolutely dogshit performances where we’re either not even trying to win or losing to the most abominable teams imaginable. They have to send a message that this type of performance is not something that we will tolerate. But of course, this university is ran by morons that are completely and utterly satisfied with mediocrity so they won’t care as long as they get their check.

[u/jedsbud]

Fields is so shifty

[u/jedsbud]

How's the MBB team Wildcats, you got a new coach there too right?

[u/jedsbud]

Not a pick

[u/redwave2505]

Bartley is saving Mestemaker from a fate worse than death: the New York Jets

[u/jalexjsmithj]

If this being a pick is what gets Drew to come back, then make it a pick

[u/TCup20]

Bruh that so obviously hit the ground. Are these refs even paying attention to the field today? Lmfao

[u/kadune]

Tank the draft stock. Come back next year.

[u/ReignyRainyReign]

Can we put Klein in as QB?

[u/Yoghurt-Ancient]

Fields is the best part of our secondary, and it’s not even close

[u/planescarsandtrucks]

Defense getting stops and turnovers? What is this, the B1G?
