It's a huge week, sports fans. Pivotal, one could argue, for the Big 12 race.

So put your vote where your mouth is.

Kind of parallel's my pregame thoughts going into the Super Bowl: Carolina was going to win (head), but I wanted Manning to win one for the old guys (heart).

So I think we'll eek out a win in AFH, but winning in Norman will be a tall order. It's equally possible that we'll lose 'em both or win 'em both.

This is it. This is why we play the games. Outcomes don't always track with the predictions. Winning both is well within our abilities, and doing so would be a great way back to the top of the race. As KSU proved, anything can happen.

Guess I'm old school. I don't want to 'vote' and thereby jinx the club (as if what I do actually matters, but then I still wear the lucky sweatshirts under that same mistaken pretense). I do think the lads will acquit themselves well in the Fieldhouse Tuesday night but think Norman will be a tough game. Have to stop the Huggy's guard penetration, even with Holton out, and hopefully without gimmick defenses (triangle and two, box and one) so as to minimize their offensive rebounds. Our on ball defense this year has been fairly woeful and hope the home cooking can quicken our guard play. Hopefully, we can catch the Sooners on a bad day and Wayne goes out of his mind.

Great to see you on here, SED. And I second Wheatie's comment about your avatar. That photo is simply stunning. And it makes me miss home.

It's GAME DAY!

Looking back at the poll from before the WVU game, it looks like 7 predicted a KU win over OU, while 11 thought we'd go down in Norman. (Note: I threw out one "sweep" vote because it came in after KU had already beaten WVU--before I remembered to lock the poll)

Here's hoping the nay-sayers are wrong. (Full disclosure: I was one of the folks predicting a split, with a loss today--though I became slightly more optimistic about our chances vs. the Sooners after the WVU win)

My wife's family is Vietnamese, so I have to celebrate "Tet" (Vietnamese lunar new year) today and will be forced to watch the game on DVR delay tonight. (I love Tet--great food and traditions--but man, oh man, I'd love to watch this game real-time!) I'll have to perform some serious kabuki today to filter out texts, emails, and updates from family and friends so that I can watch the recording tonight without knowing the outcome.

See some of you on the board tonight, win or lose.

GO/FIGHT/WIN JAYHAWKS!!!

The old board I could tell how I voted when I returned to view it later.

Is there a feature on this platform that let's us do the same?

I want to say I predicted a sweep, but I really think I may have been in step with Brother Konza. I would sure be interested to see if I was more optimistic when I voted than I was today before the game.

I'l move this to "How to Use This Board" forum later, but this seemed like a good place to have it for now to ensure maximum user visibility.

Thanks!!
