Is this a tailgate blog or a football blog?

What the hell happened this weekend! Matt's dad made some comment that Colorado beat Oklahoma and Matt laughed it off not knowing that, THAT JUST HAPPENED! Then K-State goes TO Texas and does not just win but dominates the Longhorns with Defense and Special Teams. This is a shout out the supposedly dominate teams in the south. TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. You are supposed to win these games. Not only were the Tigers counting on the near elimination of a couple of teams, but so were the Huskers. Now they MU and NU go head to head this weekend and what looked like a early game to give a one of the two teams an inside track to the Big 12 title game looks like a must win for both teams to stay alive in the discussion. So the question is, does this deflate the sails of either team, making them see the uphill battle they will have or does it make a team more focused. I am going to be positive and say that this will only serve to focus the Tigers and send them into Big 12 play knowing exactly what they have to do. The Huskers however may be looking at this the opposite way. A loss to USC is excusable, however to not crush Ball State is ridiculous.

The moral of the story. Make sure you buckle up for a great season. This may not only be the best season for our Tigers but it may also be the most competitive. The Tigers might just have to go 7-1 the rest of the way and cannot loose to K-State.

I love college football!
