Okay, Google AI says no. But close, at Texas: "Charlie Strong (Texas, 2016): Strong's Longhorns suffered a shocking 24-21 overtime loss to Kansas on November 19, 2016. While reports immediately leaked that he would be let go, Texas officials chose to wait until after their final regular-season game against TCU a week later to officially announce his firing."

@kjayhawks2.0 The announcers have been very complimentary of him. They say he looks very mature, not easily rattled, etc. Seems like he's doing well for an undrafted free agent.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in We Shall Overcome: Self inflicted mistakes. Whatever NIL budget KU has for football in 2027, focus it on the OLine. Anyone that knows football knows the game is decided in the trenches. Our back field had to break tackles all day to get to the LOS. Several runs KSU had they weren’t even touched til 5 or 6 yards beyond the LOS. I knew the line was suspect when we couldn’t run up the middle against Long Island.

said in What KU Football Cannot Overcome.: @Jayhawk_69 I expect us to lose against them until I actually see us beat them again. I imagine the game will be close and we will do a few stupid things to either blow the game or blow it wide open for them. I like Travis Goff but one the dumbest things I’ve ever read about sports related in recent years was him telling or sending someone over to KSU before the game last year telling them to expect a field rushing after the game. Give the team extra motivation in a rivalry game. Smooth brain activity. Damn I’m good

@Jayhawk_69 as is KU football the last 3 years if we could just not make ridiculous errors we would be fine. We should be 3-1. The close games I watch and just wait for the ridiculous play that costs us the game. Utah is hard to get a reading on with their powder puff schedule but we have to go there and they had a by week to get ready. I swear the conference hates us with the schedule we get most the time. I remember 3 years in a row we played KSU when they were off a by and we weren’t. Just watch us, we don’t need help shooting ourselves in the foot. MTSU isn’t a great team but they came in with a .500 record and lost those two games by a combined 12 points. I was honestly surprised we were favored by 21.5 points. I figured we would win like 27-10 but wouldn’t be super comfortable til late. First shutout since 2008 and idk if I’ve ever seen Kansas beat an FBS team like that. Football is such strange game in comparing scores. Missouri maybe be better than expected spanking Florida today. ASU is obviously a very bad team as they are getting pounded by Baylor 21-6 as the writing of this. Just crazy to think about us making about 10 plays over these last few seasons. LL would be a god in Lawrence, multiple wins of KSU, a win against Missouri and 4 straight bowl games.

Cincinnati beats KSUCK and the grapes are already calling for Kleins head on X. The natty and B12 championship talk sure got quiet fast.

@DCHawker said in Border War: @Jayhawk_69 said in Border War: That game went about as expected. The good news is our season is far from over. If Marshall can start playing like a serviceable starter I think we have a shot at a bowl game. Was there anything in the game that has you believe that Marshall is a "serviceable" P4 starter? 13 of 30 (and one of those was a wing and a prayer). 2 INTs. 4 fumbles (only 1 TO). 20 rushes for 23 yards. Really undersized. Some of the ineffectiveness is due to O-line woes, but definitely not all. Multiple really bad throw/decision-making. I really question whether either of our QBs is capable of winning games for us against quality competition... I honestly am scratching my head pretty hard at this point as to how in the heck he won the job. Cole is obviously a good leader and respected by his teammates or he wouldn’t be a captain. He also played well enough to beat KSU in his only start IMO. Honestly hoping he isn’t hurt because the way this line looks, I see no chance of us making it all year without someone getting hurt at QB. Marshall I think is a great athlete but we look like a highschool program just putting the ball in the hands of the best athlete and hoping it works out. It was the same story with Ryan Willis and Montell Cozart under Beaty. Willis was much better at decision making and throwing but Cozart was a good athlete. Obviously any comparison to the Beaty coaching isn’t going to be positive. IMO if we aren’t going to move Marshall to RB or WR, which is likely where he would be at most P4 programs. We need to burn the play book and start running the triple option. The option came about for teams that gave up too much penetration up the middle. I’m not sure if our Guards came from Haskell but they sure hell look like it. I’d also like to see Dylan Edwards get more touches. I agree he is small but he is very shifty and quick. He is averaging 5.9 yards per carry. Willis has not impressed me in the slightest so far between seeming to run right into the defense and have holding calls against him, mainly because his blocking form is similar to my sons 5th and 6th team. We have to find ways to get Edwards and McMillan the ball in space. I’m just not sure that’s possible with Marshall throwing it to them. We obviously have a long journey ahead with the ASU game. But I’ve always felt like weird game circumstances favor the underdog which is obviously us. We likely won’t be favored in another game this season outside of middle Tennessee. I do think Mizzou is a much better team than ASU so all we can do is line them up and see how it goes.

Just win, baby! And they will come.

@Jayhawk_69 yep literally 4 calls or missed calls in the final minutes that insured the Michigans win. Not sure Michigan even gets the ball back at that point. The face mask, roughing the kicker, they added a second with 9 seconds to go and added one at the end there. I know the MAC has announced they agreed with it but what else could they do, the B10 pays them a million and half for that game along with others. We also know from errors like CMU vs Okie Lite game they won’t change the outcome.

@stoptheflop I'm just guessing that so many guys were transferring out?

Bummer! Love that guy

@approxinfinity As usual, you have the stats! And, they are dramatic,

@wissox83 Sweet. Thanks for sharing.

It's all about money and the more games the better but at the expense of the bowl game communities. Definitely get rid of the bye games as bskeet said.
