Williams & Blum: Latest realignment thoughts & CW’s Big 12 preseason poll
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Bingo. Staff talked up Joe Scates non-stop. He didn't pan out.
Two worst or most unbearable fan bases overall have been k st and Iowa for a long time for me
I don't remember hearing a lot about Scates from the staff other than mentioning his mental game taking a step forward. The players always mentioned Scates.
Do you remember K State fans being this bad for very long? I don't seem to recall much hate from them until 2018ish-2019ish, but boy have they made up for that
I actually laughed out loud the second time Blum pronounced Celine Dion as Celine Di-own
I probably should stay off emauw and hawkeyenation but at least on there they are awful

I sure hope Dekkers doesn't fall victim to the ISU curse where he regresses as he gets more experience.

I don’t remember the staff talking up Scates non stop. I remember them saying when he arrived that he had as much talent as anyone.
That’s a very specific statement, and says nothing about him harnessing that talent—let alone being a great player.
And after that, the talk about Scates became proceedingly more strained.
Is it really a problem with a person regressing or is it simply because the opposing teams get enough film and/or the game plan is too predictive, or the player has simply hit the top of their abilities? I wouldn't call that regressing. You see the same thing in baseball...a new player hits the plate and seems to hit everything...then the opposing teams find out that the hitter doesn't like curve balls and needs a bucket of chicken to break the curse...
Now, QB's at Iowa simply are the same from the day that they start...
I think for most of that list, it's guys who are tired of getting hit. You can only tolerate it for so long.
I've convinced that if Sam Richardson was in a bar and saw somebody walk up out of the corner of his eye, he'd start twitching and run the other way. Dude just got pummeled
As long as he doesn't try to throw a left, he should be okay.I think for most of that list, it's guys who are tired of getting hit. You can only tolerate it for so long.

When your line is average at best, the D can take away the run and force the qb to beat them. Throw in having receivers that don't separate very well and the QB is having to hold the ball too long.
I saw the same thing out of Richardson and Purdy this year, he was waiting until he saw the receiver break instead of hitting them when they broke.
Whoa wait a minute. In 2017 our receivers included Lazard, Hakeem, Murdock, and Trevor Ryan. David Montgomery and Kene Nuwangu at running back.
Looking back I’d say we were loaded at skill position talent
K-State 247 guys think they're winning the B12 this year.
