Previewing the 2026 season

@stoptheflop I've heard 5-6 wins is a possibility but, for me KU football is like politics. It's always bad and if it's good once in a while it's an anomaly..

Very funny for everyone who swore up and down Lance decided on Ballard 6 months ago. Zeke has potential to be very, very good. Cole is a great dude but he’s more of a game manager.

Excitement in Lawrence!

Maybe the prophet will lead us to the promised land.

Excitement in Lawrence?? I don't mean to be a downer; but with NIL and Portal, I've never been as uninterested in college football in general and KU football specifically as I am this season. We were all excited after Lance's two bowl games . . . thinking we might finally have a big time program. That's not going to happen when when our transfers come from CSU, James Madison, UAB, Chattanooga, even Michigan State, etc., No prognosticator that I've read or heard has predicted us going more than middle-of-the-pack in the conference. I'll just hope for the best. Rock Chalk.

@JoJoAndMe right at the end of the day the result is the same in around about way. Yes we are competing better and winning 5 games. But it really doesn’t matter compared to winning 2-3 every year and sitting at home during bowl season. It makes me upset that we dumped hundreds of millions into this program to gain 2 wins a year. It seems like a complete and total waste of resources at this point. If we can’t do anything the next few years it will be time to call a spade, a spade. Which is LL had a few good years with Miles recruits. I just think about who we could’ve had on the basketball court if the same amount of money was being thrown in to that program that has coach that has won multiple natties. I remind people this program won an orange bowl with no facilities at all. Before MM there was no practice fields, no Anderson football complex, literally terrible teams and some of the worst facilities in the country.

@JoJoAndMe Without doing any research on the matter didn't Cignetti win with a whole bunch of mid major portal guys?

@kjayhawks2.0 the stadium had to be done, it was literally falling apart in some areas. Better to do it on our timeline before God forbid someone got hurt

And I’ll also add that it was a generational opportunity. ARPA, state, and city incentives all became available to make the project happen and redevelop the area to actually improve the university as a whole. Without those funding mechanisms the project doesn’t happen
