Here are a few thoughts on a game that my alma mater could have won, if we had played better.
*ISU is a young team, and it played like one. It had three turnovers, one of them on a dropped option pitch that would have been a touchdown if the ball hadn't been fumbled. A holding penalty on an 88-yard touchdown run further showed signs of youth.
*If the ISU defenders could catch passes, they could have had 2-3 interceptions
*On the bright side, ISU ran the greatest fake punt that I have ever seen, a beautiful, "screen" like fake that fooled everyone, including me. I was not expecting it at all, K-State wasn't expecting it, and the result was amazing.
*Next year looks bright for ISU. A team that's a year older, a coach that is entering his third year, and a good chance to winning a conference game. ISU is still about 2 years away from being out of the Big XII North cellar, but there are signs of improvement. Who knows? ISU might well be challenging for the North division title here in a couple of years.

That was all in sports talk, ergo I understood none of it.
[shrug] Not much I can do about that. Not everyone understands/enjoys football. If that's not you, then don't read the post. :-)
How has the semester gone for you so far?
