***Yesterday's Question HERE***
In an attempt to pass the time this off-season we're fortunate to have secured the help of scottwildcat from Boscoe's Boys. Scott is going to provide 100 questions about the past, present, future (and who-knows-what) involving Kansas State sports, and I'll do my very best to answer them.
Let's dive in to the 100 Questions.
Question No. 100: K-State is 5-6, 1:45 left on the clock, ball at midfield, one time out, down by four, Iowa State has eight wins, and they’re hoping and praying they can finally achieve their lifelong dream of winning nine games in a season (#strive4nine); what ridiculous way would Klieman and the Cats win the game to restore the proper status of the Farmageddon Classic?
First, I have to thank Scott for doing this series.
A long, long time ago (maybe a little over, I don't know, 100 days) I wrote Scott with an idea for an off-season coverage series I wanted to do. I didn't want to do a tired or predictable countdown, but instead something where users wouldn't know what kind of piece to expect one day to to the next.
So, of course, I needed somebody else to come up with the ideas for me on a daily basis.
I wrote Scott of Boscoe's Boys (who just had their 100th episode, an interview with Michael Bishop, no less) with my idea for 100 Questions, and I'm not exaggerating when I estimate Scott likely provided more than 200 questions to choose from for this activity.
If you want to read through the series, CLICK HERE to go to yesterday's question, and then follow the link at the top of each page to the previous day's story. It's like a trip through a (very short) time machine.
I'll bring it back again next off-season, taking the burden from Scott and putting it on The Foundation as a whole (I'll explain that when the time comes), but not before I tackle one final question.
And, it's in this piece where I'll make it official: I will predict Kansas State to win six games and make a bowl game under Chris Klieman in his first season.
It seems like the time to make this projection, as I actually think it will happen much in the manner laid out in Question No. 100. I expect the Wildcats to enter the regular-season finale at 5-6 against a good ISU team, and I also believe K-State will earn its most notable win of the season at home that day.
Now, as to how specifically it will happen in the last two minutes? This part isn't a real prediction, but for fun...
1:45 (Q4) - Jordon Brown 8-yard run to ISU 42
1:27 (Q4) - Skylar Thompson incomplete pass
1:22 (Q4) - Joshua Youngblood 11-yard run to ISU 31 (first down)
1:04 (Q4) - Skylar Thompson incomplete pass
0:58 (Q4) - Skylar Thompson pass complete to Nick Lenners for 17 yards to ISU 14 (first down)
0:39 (Q4) - Jordon Brown 3-yard run to ISU 11 (timeout)
0:30 (Q4) - Skylar Thompson incomplete pass
0:25 (Q4) - Skylar Thompson 11-yard touchdown run (Blake Lynch PAT GOOD)
The Wildcats go up 27-24 with less than 20 seconds remaining, hold on and get a sixth victory.
Or, at least something like that.
