@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree, I just think our non conference is a little tougher going on the road to Boston College, who was ranked a few weeks ago. We do get good home draws in conference of KSU, Baylor and Tech. I just don’t think that a bowl game is realistic, I’d be happy to be wrong. I predicting 4 wins but 5 wouldn’t shock me.
@kjayhawks Pooka only got 20 touches for the same reason you mentioned we lost to those 3 teams. Sims is another guy that has been greatly under utilized all year. However, we your QB can’t throw the ball that doesn’t help.
Stuff like this happens to KU football. KSU gets a few lucky bounces to not turn it over on a fumble and a bad snap. While KU gets not one but two questionable holding calls that hauled huge gains. A dropped pass inside the five, every opportunity to be up 14 to nothing at the half, missed tackle on a 4th and 2 to seal the game. Then there’s the QB dropping the ball to end any hope we had (I rewatched that play and if the he passes that ball, the screen was setup so well, we maybe are talking about a W). It never rains but it pours and that’s just the way to describe KU football right now. The Nichols and the KSU loss flatout shouldn’t have happen.
I’m honestly starting to think KSUCK fans are just as bad. It was fun a couple of my buddies that are mildcat fans and chiefs fans were defending the refs after KC beat Denver when the refs missed a delay of game call. I was like “guess the guys that officiated the missed walk on Svi don’t get a pass” lol.
The only JuCo recruits I’m interested in are guys that can get to KU by spring ball their sophomore year. Those guys are willing to put in the work on and off the field to get to a D1 school and compete. Beaty has done a good job with those guys. I’m good with plucking a couple guys like that every year just to plug holes, because even the best miss and KU doesn’t recruit well enough to have solid backup plans on their board, especially along the lines.
@BShark Bama I think easily wins the title this year as you said you can probably pencil in everyone on the offensive and defensive line as an NFL player, that’s where the games are won.
So, we’re tied for 8th in the Big 12. Maybe we have a chance to beat KState. I’m really happy with the team’s win, but why wasn’t Bender’s throw out the back of the end zone intentional grounding? Is there an exception to the intentional grounding rule for intentional safeties? I really wish we had just punted the ball away. Also, how frustrated was everyone else that Bowen stayed with the 3 man rush on TCU’s last drive? But for the butt fumble, we lose that game.
Ya it sounds like the kid is in some trouble , sounds like he worked the woman over pretty good - -dragging her across the complex lot something like that with her screaming , kicking and such. I seen him last Saturday - well actually have seen him form a couple of games this year, pretty dam fast. Like you say though isn’t gonna matter.
Our offense can’t do squat and the defense will wear down from having to be on the field for 75% of the game- - sad
I was reading yesterday that Snyder was getting pretty snippy in his old age at his press conference. Told some “Just write whatever the Hell you want” after dodging several questions about why Thompson isn’t the guy going forward. I honesty wonder if he isn’t starting to lose a step mentally.
@FarmerJayhawk Les Miles is going to be the biggest name on the list and I believe that’s who Long is maneuvering to try and land with some of these hires that he’s made so far. Vollmer has a long standing relationship with Les Miles. Les Miles is also a pretty known name in college football along with his reputation and quirks so hiring someone to specifically run the PR side of KU Athletics seems like another move to try and get Miles.
Beyond Les Miles, I don’t see a realistic candidate out there that’s going to immediately blow people away with his resume.
Yep. Miles is gonna be the guy Long really targets. Probably sooner rather than later. Guessing Willie Fritz is plan B. Not sure any of the younger G5 up and comers give serious thought to KU, even at $3m+ per year.
@jayballer73 LMAO. Chicks certainly don’t dig 4 Locos. If I’m trying to get a buzz, I’ll buy the extra powerful Natty Daddy. It’s 12.6 alcohol content. Two of those Tall Boys, and I’m out like a light. Of course, the last time I drank those was when I was sitting in the dark after Hurricane Irma last year. My body can’t hold up to doing that more than about once a year, so I really suck as a drinker.
Ya well you know how it goes. - -that FIRST brew , ahhhhh that tastes good - iced cold , I’m only drinking ONE though then here comes the 2nd - -the 3rd - and then they are going down like water lmao
