"bite."
The signal data spread from the East Coast to the central region. Lu Yiqi's mobile phone placed on the restaurant desktop illuminated, prompting the arrival of the text message.
However, Lu Yiqi, who was watching the game video, heard the sound, but did not turn on his phone as soon as possible. Instead, he waited for the video analysis of the game to be analyzed. He took the phone while he was in the kitchen to drink water, and then picked up his phone and clicked on the text message. He unexpectedly found that it was from his mother.
"come on."
The text message was very concise, with only two short Chinese characters forming a phrase phrase, but Lu Yiqi stood there and watched it seriously for a long time, as if he could see a flower from those square characters. After a while, he put down his phone, returned to the TV, and started watching the game video again.
Nothing seemed to change, but the slightly relaxed eyebrows revealed a little lightness, and the whole person became more focused and devoted, as if... full of motivation.
In just one week, in just a blink of an eye, the championship game of the Big 12 came without a stop.
This is the fifth time since the founding of the Kansas State University Wildcats have been on the Big 12 Championship stage.
There is no doubt that this is a team with a long history. It has experienced peaks and has been deeply trapped in the trough. Under the leadership of Bill Schneider, it has become an indispensable member of the Big 12 League. Being invited to participate in the bowl game for eleven consecutive seasons is the best proof; but unfortunately, the team has never had real glory-
Previously, the team had topped the North District of the Big 12th League four times and entered the final championship battle.
In 1998, he eventually lost to Texas A&M University.
In 1999, he lost to his arch-rival University of Nebraska in overtime.
In 2000, he eventually lost to the University of Oklahoma.
After three consecutive years of successive battles, Bill Schneider and the Wildcats were also covered in tragedy. In 2003, the team came to the championship stage again and again against the University of Oklahoma. In the end, the Wildcats successfully defeated their opponents and were crowned the Big Twelve League champion for the first time.
In fact, in the 2003 season, the team's record was not top, and the regular season record was nine wins and three losses. However, the championship battle that entered the playoffs was awesome.
First, they were crowned the Big 12 champion for the first time in history, and then they won the opportunity to attend one of the four major bowls with their victory. However, they lost to Ohio State and still missed the Big 4 major bowls.
The Holiday Bowl in 2002 and the Big 12 Championship in 2003 were also the last glory of Kansas State University and the only glory.
It is precisely because of this that the achievements of the 2007 season have become more and more incredible, and can be regarded as a miracle. It is definitely a highlight in the history of the team building.
However, if the Wildcats' magical season ends here and enters the final stage of the championship battle, they are empty after the end of the season; then the so-called "miracle" is nothing but a testament, and the regular season win record is just to add some topic of conversation after dinner, and will soon be forgotten by people.
Success and defeat are cruel but realistic enough. What's more, NCAA's full-win season is not uncommon, and Kansas State University is not unique.
After experiencing the long season, all the hardships and ups and downs, all the hardships and ups and downs, and everything is not as good as the last two championship games. Whether it is a bad or a false name will be found out then.
This Saturday, the Wildcats will once again launch a rush to the Big 12 championship trophy. In the finals, they are about to face their destiny opponents:
University of Oklahoma.
This will be the third confrontation between the two sides on the Grand Twelve League championship stage, with both sides winning and losing in the previous two games.
This year, the Big 12 League completed a complete transformation, with six teams ranking among the top 25 in the United States, ranking first among all BCS divisions, four of which ranked in the top ten, the University of Texas ranked 12th, and Texas Tech ranked 22nd.
Among them, Kansas State University defeated three teams, the University of Texas, the University of Kansas and the University of Missouri, proving its tough strength, ranking first in the United States; now, they are about to face the fourth top 25 team in the United States in the Big 12 division, the University of Oklahoma!
Both teams rank in the top ten in the United States, which also means that the outcome of the championship battle will directly affect the invitation list of the four major bowl games and a series of other bowl games. The attention level will be further ignited, and it can be regarded as the most noteworthy championship battle among all BCS divisions.
This season, the University of Oklahoma continued its consistent tradition of strong teams and performed steadily. It only lost two games in the regular season; facing the relentless pursuit of competitors, withstood the pressure at critical moments. In the last week of the regular season, the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas both won the game. The former also maintained a winning advantage, topped the South District of the Big 12th League, entered the final championship battle, and strived to achieve its first defending title.
There is no doubt that the University of Oklahoma is the absolute king of the Big 12 since the millennium.
In 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006, they all successfully topped the championship in even years; in 2003, they lost to Kansas State University and finished second; in 2001 and 2005, although they did not enter the championship battle for the Big 12, the team was still the second in the South.
Since the millennium, Oklahoma has not lost more than four games in a single season. Putting aside the winning or losing of the bowl game for the time being, at least in the Big 12, this well-deserved strongest team, and other teams have experienced ups and downs to a greater or lesser extent, and they are still the only strong ones who stand tall.
From an objective analysis from the perspective of absolute strength, the University of Oklahoma, like Kansas State University, has balanced offense and defense at both ends, a slightly stronger offensive side, and lacks superstars who are traversing the NCAA, but rely on teamwork to gather into a powerful force and successfully grasped the key to victory.
Head coach Bob Stoops has a lot of relationship with Kansas State University. This coach, who was a defensive second-tier player, has never been able to find his own style after changing his position in 1983.
From 1989 to 1995, Stups worked at Kansas State University, first as a defensive second-tier coach and then as a joint defensive coordinator. He worked with Bill Schneider and Mo Latimer, but he failed to spark too much. Later, he stayed at the University of Florida for several years until he took over the head coach of the University of Oklahoma in 1999, which started a legendary and magical experience.
