A lot of KU fans expected a close game, and some even a loss, in the days leading up to the South Dakota game. While I, the apparently everlasting bastion of hope, was of the opposite mindset, considering the state of KU football over the last 10 years, feelings of doubt were completely justified. And, as it turns out, those calling for a close game or loss were way more accurate in their prediction than I was.
We’re at a point where Kansas football gets made fun of for winning games. Forget about the whole field rushing deal; after K-State beat Stanford, I received texts from various members of a certain fanbase comparing the wins, basically, making fun of KU for squeaking by South Dakota after KSU knocked off a P5 opponent.
