***ISU vs. KU PREDICTION Thread***

He's just assuming the scoreboards roll over at triple digits. So he's actually predicting 100-0. Or 200 or 300 or...
I think he meant they forfeit just after they get hit coming off of the bus.
If personal game predictions had an "Off" as betting lines do, this would be Off for me.
I don't want to guess the score or even the winner. I will say the following:
1. KU is in disarray this season, so ISU could get a blowout win. But if that does happen, I think the score won't reflect it. Anyone who predicts a win by a wide margin, drop it by 14 or 17 points. It'll be a blowout, but the score won't look like it. I can live with that.
2. For people who expect the worst — either laying an egg with a loss, or a too-close-for-comfort win during a "trap" week, I feel the nervousness. The best way to avoid that is for ISU not to get in a hole early — early turnovers, momentum-killing penalties, etc., maybe when KU decides it's time to have a huge start to a game — Ugh. That's what worries me most.
If this ends up being a sort of reversal of the '08 KU game — we're not going to rally for a 35-33 win.
Get a lead early, and maintain it, and it should be all right.
We seem to have bigger fish to fry the rest of this season, so I'm fine with a win that may not be as dominant as it could be, but isn't stress-inducing.
