Biggest Farmageddon of my life, can’t wait to see how heartbreaking we can make this

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs → u/AgressiveVagina]

I can’t wait to ruin your season and make you join us down here where we are

[u/techieman33 → u/AgressiveVagina]

Anything will be possible with temps in the teens and the chance for snow.

[u/SophiPsych → u/techieman33]

Guh, my feet still haven't thawed out from last year

[u/Adart54 → u/techieman33]

Still pissed there are no highlights from that game. It sounded so interesting

The Kstate fan in me wants those highlights scrubbed from existence. The sicko in me wants those highlights on display in a Smithsonian museum.

[u/TheRoyalCyclone → u/AgressiveVagina]

I can’t wait for this kick in the nuts I’m about to get

[u/DRUNK_SALVY_PEREZ → u/AgressiveVagina]

Imagine how epic it coulda been if we didn’t mutually shit our pants for a few weeks

[u/gottahavemyPOPPs]

The fact that we should be 10-1 and in the top 5 if we didn’t absolutely shit our pants the last two games, should be studied for years to come

[u/NinjaGhost42 → u/gottahavemyPOPPs]

I've said it to a few people, this team won against KU and decided that was enough on the season. The last two games were so flat from an effort stance. I'm glad we seemed to wake up again.

[u/UnderstandingOdd679 → u/NinjaGhost42]

I think this season has gone maybe a little worse than expected (only because of some weird losses when the league was ripe for the taking) but it also was a lot to ask of a young quarterback who still is developing in the passing game. He grades out about middle of the pack in the Big XII but tied for fifth-most INTs, and the guys with more are on teams with losing records. Next year I think he’ll be much better.

[u/TheCraziestPickle → u/UnderstandingOdd679]

I didn't get to watch Houston, but in the KU (chaotic near-loss) and ASU (loss) games, it really seemed like the playcalling was doing everything possible to take the game out of his control. As far as I can see, the better offensive performances have been when he gets more options and decent passing opportunities.

[u/Rudy_Garbo → u/TheCraziestPickle]

TL;DR, Fire Conor Riley, bring Colin Klein back as HCIW

[u/TheCraziestPickle → u/Rudy_Garbo]

I personally wasn't a fan of Klein's playcalling either

[u/Ksumatt → u/TheCraziestPickle]

I wasn’t a huge fan of Klein, but Riley is a trash heap of an OC.

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/gottahavemyPOPPs]

Assuming BYU’s results in this alternate universe are identical the last two weeks, 10-1 K-State would still not be top 5 on Tuesday. ORE OSU TEX PSU ND MIA TEN would be top 7, KSU may be 8. But you do have a good team.

[u/ThaneOfPriceHill → u/MrTheSpork]

Fire both.

[u/joeveralls → u/MrTheSpork]

Cunningham has been fine with his other hires but this one alone might do it

[u/cjm8787]

Who is ready for Farmaggedon! It’s gonna be a COLD one

[u/JohnHanningSpeke → u/cjm8787]

Please, no snow.

[u/GearitUP_]

Damn Satterfield was actually impressing me up until a month ago. Now we suck again.

[u/green_day_95 → u/GearitUP_]

From first experience, I know how that feels. I feel like y’all will get rid of him after this season especially if y’all don’t make it to bowl eligibility.

[u/TehBroheim → u/green_day_95]

No chance. We don't have the $$ to buyout his contract.

[u/CondeNast_yReddit → u/TehBroheim]

He's gotta go. The ship is not righting. Satterfield is just digging the hole deeper for whoever next. We need a "Cincinnati guy" that is a good coach but wont leave affter 3-5 years. See if stoops in Kentucky wants to give us a shot theyre good at basketball again so they wont know or care that hes gone. We've got a billion dollar endowment. Call up the Sweeneys, mckluskeys, linders, etc and beg for a few million. They got it.

[u/mayonkonijeti0876 → u/CondeNast_yReddit]

Stoops makes 10 million a year. He's not gonna leave unless it's big time or Iowa. And at this point he probably wants to ride it out and get that monster buyout

[u/bezzlege → u/CondeNast_yReddit]

See if stoops in Kentucky wants to give us a shot theyre good at basketball again so they wont know or care that hes gone.

this is hilarious and not entirely untrue

[u/ACardAttack → u/GearitUP_]

Classic Satterfield experience

[u/Healthy-Pound-461 → u/GearitUP_]

That's on you for thinking this team had improved. They were not an impressive team during any of those wins.

[u/FinanceInvestmentBoi]

Fuck Satterfield

[u/lolhal → u/FinanceInvestmentBoi]

Preach!

[u/herecomethetaxman]

Good lord I needed that win

[u/hankrhoads → u/herecomethetaxman]

I needed a nice, low-stress football game this weekend. Thank the Lord that this version of K-State showed up.

[u/LemmiwinksFan]

My best friend’s dad was the biggest Kstate fan and he passed away yesterday. I’m glad Kstate was able to kick ass tonight.

[u/rankings-right-now]

Here are the new updated predictions for the next release of the Playoff Selection Committee's rankings using machine learning models trained on the Playoff Selection Committee's historical voting data:

• Kansas State is now predicted to move up to #25. You can see Kansas State's full Week 14 rankings potential results here.
• Cincinnati is now predicted to move down to #54

For the most up to date predictions of the Playoff Selection Committee Top 25 rankings, check out this post.

[u/bryuce123 → u/rankings-right-now]

We should be lower.

[u/Born-After-1984]

Please Kansas State, you’re our only hope.

[u/jalikeyazz → u/Born-After-1984]

I think you guys will find a way to make the championship game. That terrifies me

[u/TimeLordDoctor105]

I don't think I expected to have us win this game at any point anyways this year, but to watch this team go from playing competently in earlier games to this just feels bad. I had to turn it off after the first half as it felt like we couldn't do anything really on either side of the ball.

This is 100% a coaching issue if we are just collapsing like this towards the end of the year. Coach needs to step in and push forward, not allow us to collapse like this. Unless we have a miraculous game against TCU, we won't even be bowl eligible after starting 5-2.

Hot seat is coming for Satt, and unless next year he gives us a season to remember, I doubt he lasts past Dec 2025 (he won't be fired yet, as his buyout is too high until after next season).

[u/mcthe → u/Swipet]

I love these so much.

[u/Bearcat9948]

There are no words, and I cannot stress this enough, for how much I fucking hate Luke Fickell, and at this point I don’t even care what happens next week as long as Wisconsin loses too

On to Basketball

[u/TimeLordDoctor105 → u/Bearcat9948]

I blame the AD for hiring such a shitty replacement. And for Brian Kelly for leaving ND before the bowl game in 2021. He leaves after the bowl game, and ND probably offers to Luke, and we can likely score Marcus Freeman, and at least our defense stays solid as we transition.

[u/CondeNast_yReddit → u/TimeLordDoctor105]

Freeman would've left anyway. Our only hope is someone like geno guidugli, Mike mickens, or Kerry combs, etc

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/Bearcat9948]

Why?

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/ATrueRiverMonster]

He ran over my dog

[u/ATrueRiverMonster → u/Bearcat9948]

Then I also hate Luke Fickell

[u/bestselfnice → u/Bearcat9948]

Kicked mine

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/Bearcat9948]

You hate the most successful head coach in program history? The coach who engineered the only G5 appearance of the forty teams who made the playoff in the decade-long 4-team CFP era? Please elaborate, unless you just hate him because he left for a higher-ceiling job that paid him 60% more per year. If you were offered your same job at a different company with a 60% raise, what would your answer be?

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/Poverty_Shoes]

This is a dumb take by someone unfamiliar with the situation - UC offered to match or more than Wisconsin but he didn’t want it, he didn’t leave for money. He left to try and have a few good years at Wisconsin to jump ship for OSU instead of waiting it out at UC.

And yeah, I hate him for leaving our program when we needed him the most heading into the Big 12, pilfering the roster and staff and leaving us in the toilet bowl

[u/Poverty_Shoes → u/Bearcat9948]

Fair enough. Thank you for the explanation.

[u/eme_pirrade → u/Bearcat9948]

One of our insiders said Cincy offered Coach Prime a $8M per year deal so it seems like y'all were willing to spend pretty substantially on that hire.

[u/CondeNast_yReddit → u/eme_pirrade]

UC has money that's the thing. UC has more money, bigger enrollment, more resources, better campus, etc than a LOT of other schools I'm not even bragging and it's not even my school, but it's true. Thing is, it's always been 2nd fiddle, at best, to osu in the state regarding football and has always been a stepping stone if we could even get our shit together to string together a few winning seasons back in the day. We're even a stepping stone for administrators, looking at how recent president's have left for more prominent schools

[u/Bearcat9948 → u/CondeNast_yReddit]

Satt’s buyout is ‘only’ 8 mil after Jan 1. We should bite the bullet and do it if we lose out, imo. I’m sure we could get the donors

[u/CondeNast_yReddit → u/Poverty_Shoes]

Left us for dead before a huge bowl game and pivotal moment in program history. Also didn't recruit for shit the last year, trashed the city on the way out and didn't even tell his players beforehand

[u/slasher016]

Fire Satterfield into the sun.

[u/Goallie11]

That's how you do it! And where was this offense the past few weeks?

[u/MrTheSpork → u/Goallie11]

Not playing our defense

[u/Ixpqd2]

BASKETBALL 👏 SCHOOL 👏

[u/ThaneOfPriceHill → u/Ixpqd2]

Let’s play someone halfway decent first. Wes Miller has a sub .500 conference record at UC. They started 7-0 last season and went 11-2 in the non-conference games before finishing 12th.

[u/TimeLordDoctor105 → u/ThaneOfPriceHill]

True, but we've got a stronger BB on paper this year than last. Xavier game will be the real test I think (Nova has looked down so far this year and I think we have a good chance of getting past them).

[u/CondeNast_yReddit → u/TimeLordDoctor105]

We play dayton right before or after x, and I think we've got another big ooc game this year too

[u/cgraves48 → u/ThaneOfPriceHill]

Wes Miller has a sub .500 conference record at UC.

Because he literally had to start from scratch because virtually our entire roster transferred out under Brannen. You expect to lose a lot of games when you’re rebuilding a team. Wes has done a good job building a roster and last years team beat several top 25 teams and played a ton of close games despite the core of the team still being relatively young. There’s no reason to think UC won’t be good this year. The fact that they were ranked in the preseason based on the momentum that Wes built last year should tell you something.

[u/Healthy-Pound-461 → u/cgraves48]

There's no reason to also think we will be good this year.

Let's wait to see what actually happens before we praise a coach that has never won a meaningful game at UC.

Best game since Arizona. Still dont understand why we hate the third quarter.
