  @Careful-you said: @JayhawkRock78 You make a fair point. I am not trying to do a point by point comparison of KSU football to KU basketball for the last 100 years. And I also admit that KU basketball is considered royalty by the basketball world AND that 10 big 12 titles in a row is a monumental achievement. Still I would not turn away from a Bill Snyder clone if I was going to get a football team similar to the last 20 years at KSU, which I think was the point of the original post. And, if after 20 years of success, then the the program struggles (as we seem to think KSU will), well so be it. I’m still not turning down 20 good years. Sorry, I did not make myself clear. Bill Snyder walks on water. He is the perfect example of a Great man, great coach, true Christian and on and on. I love everything about him and I am no KSU homer. Still, Bill Snyder alone, or his success at KSU doesn’t hold a candle to the KU bBall program. History. I am jealous of what he did/has done at KSU.

  @nuleafjhawk Agreed. Coaches have their hands full with their own programs and have little time for any thing else other than the occasional appearance at a game or Athletic Department activities. At KU, most football coaches regularly attend basketball games (they want to know what winner looks like) but Coach Self will only occasionally attend a football game…can’t say I blame him.

  @jaybate-1.0 I wish Bob Frederick was still here. He was, in my opinion, probably the best A.D. we ever had/ever will have. He was wise, intelligent, innovative and a good, decent human being. RIP Bob. You are sorely missed.

  @nuleafjhawk I agree. But as much as I may respect Snyder’s accomplishments over time, I wont put him in the same category as Saban or Meyer, or Stoops. He is a solid fundamentals guy, but he is NOT a recruiter. One thing everbody should know, is that Snyder absolutely hates KU. He takes the yearly matchup with KU deadly serious, as recruiting for the few instate nobodies that Kansas has could easily affect his pipeline if KU were to seem like an exciting new, winning football product. That whole KSU culture about ‘beat KU’, you could say is Purple Nation taking their cue from their Master Snyder, is all. But no worries, as we seem to have energetic guys in Bowen + Beatty, hope they can bring the talent, is it wrong to hope/wish for 4+star guys? And Father Time suggests KSU may soon be in their own upheaval situation, as Snyder’s replacement had better be more capable than Ron Prince…

  @Crimsonorblue22 Thanks for the heads up. I know Cox was granted a 6th year medical red shirt since the KU Athletic site indicates that much, so it probably was Bourbon??? If that is the case, then he might not be coming back. This article indicates that Bourbon was indeed honored as a senior, so he likely is not coming back. Bourbon is a 4.0 student so he might have finished his graduate degree and if the NFL is not in his future, it would certainly make no sense for him to come back.

  On football related notes…how long before Muschamp (leaving Florida at the end of the season) becomes a candidate for the KU HC job? Also, former MU player Chase Coffman fined $30K for hit on Raven’s Assistant Coach… Coffman fined… Only a former MU player would do something so stupid. The article has a link to the video of the hit.

  Don’t know that this trail is dead, but just in case it’s on pause our next coach should be: Coach Bowen!!!

  Unfortunately we are in a tough position. We have been down so long good teams know they better score a lot of points when they play us lest they look weak so the foot never leaves the gas pedal. If our offense can’t give the defense a rest it can get ugly. AND no matter who they are playing these ranked teams are looking to score style points every game.

  @jaybate-1.0 This is fun! The NBA has started to hire current players to become first year coaches in Jason Kidd and Derrick Fischer. So what current NFL players could we hire? Ray Rice? Adrian Peterson?

  I’m not going to speculate about CW’s future (mostly because as long as he’s not at Kansas, I just don’t care!), but I’m starting to have a little man-crush on Clint Bowen. At first I was like, this season is toast, just make it through until December and let’s see who’s out there that can turn this thing around. After the Okie State game, I’m starting to think the guy we’re looking for is already on the sidelines. Keep up the good work Clint. Not many people have the chance to pursue their dream jobs.

  I like what I’ve seen and heard so far in this interim coach. I stated we needed to be working hard in the background and keep our cards close to the chess. Still, it seems we have made some good progress. If this continues I think we can win a couple of more games this season and I’m all for keeping him as HC.

  @justanotherfan We can’t act like a powerhouse, but we could at least try to act confident. At the very least like we’re not scared to death.

  @bskeet I really didn’t recall either coach winning even that many games! Besides, asterisks need to go by those wins, because they were really nothing more than exhibition-grade opponents. Legitimate D1 cupcakes always beat Weis and Gill. I will always view Turner Fish Gill and Charles Never-in-Charge Weis as winless. I will remember them as standing on the sidelines with black sunglasses, tin cups and canes begging for wins. Coach Weis was especially pathetic, because he was old enough to have known better and apparently so willingly debased himself for the bones. The two bookends of losing won a few exhibition games; that was all. Next.
