Border War
-
This is what Kansas football is under LL play just good enough to give us hope and then let up scores in the last two minutes of half’s and have back breaking turnovers. This will be the third straight year of it. Already getting very old. I expected a rebuild this season and 2 wins but that would be much easier to swallow had we made bowls with the experience talent we had the last two. At least we have basketball…..wait we don’t even compete for conference titles anymore in that sport. Easily the roughest years of my near 40 as a ku fan.

@kjayhawks2.0 That might be true. But the same logic is true the other way. If the teams switch offensive lines we blow misery out by multiple touchdowns

I agreed to disagree with how bad some of Marshall throws were tonight.

Half it being close was also mizzous miscues with Blocked FGs and a fumble. If we don’t have a scoop and score on that block, game is over at half time.

Sooo disappointing. Looks like another 5-7 season at best. Marshall's three turnovers, inaccurate passing and poor judgement will not lead us to a winning record. The offensive line is ineffective. The defensive line (strong against the run) cannot put pressure on the QB. Simmons made some incredibly accurate throws that he would not have made under pressure. In seven seasons, LL does not have a win over Misery or the Pussy Cats. Hmmmmm. The up and coming coach is at Tulsa.
I feel embarrassed. My school "took the high ground" to get back in bed with it's sworn enemy so that they could stomp us on our home turf. In spite of our mistakes, this was a winnable game and our squad blew it. Where do we go from here. I might not be long before a shiny new, expensive stadium could be empty. I do not see a positive future for this program. -
@JoJoAndMe ain’t no way this team is winning 5 games unless they improve a significant amount and Mizzou turns out to be one of the best teams in the SEC, which is highly unlikely.
-
I wrote "at best." We should all be concerned about the changing direction of this team.
-
I predicted 38-20 a few days ago. Just got the teams turned around.

Pretty obvious that LL isn't the savior we were looking for. We'll always be KU football. I'm already preparing for my ass whoopin from K-State fans -

Check espn for Drinks comments about KU pregame Border War message. That's why he wanted to run up the score on us.

@crimsonblu22 he doesn’t understand the history of this rivalry
-
Well, we lost, that’s no fun.
But the game was exciting to watch. Seemed competitive for awhile, to me at least.
A few thoughts:
— our O and D lines need work, or Mizzou’s were awesome.
— Marshal. Hmmm. It was his first big boy game, so maybe he just needs more seasoning, But that wasn’t pretty. He threw high, he threw low, he had no proper form to be accurate at all. And wow were those some ugly picks!
— I am 100% not sold on our running game. IMO Edwards is a tiny little dude who should only be used in open space. Not a full time back. Willis has the size and energy, but doesn’t seem like the brightest guy. I’m sure ya’ll saw his lack of blocking ability. Doesn’t seem complex. See dude, hit dude. No form whatsoever. Wow. Marshall should not be leading our team in rushing attempts.
— where were those two aggressive, speedy defenders we saw last week? Didn’t even see em play!
— I didn’t expect to win this game, but thought we would be competitive. I thought we mostly were. Imagine if we had a semi experienced QB who could have made better throws…it would have been closer.
-
@JoJoAndMe you're very optimistic. The way it looks to me right now it's a one win season.
-
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.

McComb 13/13 3TDs 234 yards against Holy Cross.

Anybody hear how bad Ballards injury is?

If any of you are into trivia, I have one sure answer for you. Q - "Who’s the world's biggest dumbass?
A - nuleafjhawkEvery frickin year at the beginning of football season I am like THIS IS IT! THIS IS OUR YEAR. We're going to win 9 games and humiliate K-State. Every damn year.
Then by halftime of the first game against The Oklahoma School of Horseshoeing I realize we're still the same crap team we've always been and always will be. Basketball can't get here soon enough.
-
@nuleafjhawk hate to be the bearer of bad news but we haven’t competed for a conference championship in basketball the last 2 years and I’d not hesitate to bet my life we won’t be this season either. However many millions we spent on the FB team this year was a total waste to be lucky to win 3 games.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 right. But our chances are a helluva lot better in basketball than football.

@nuleafjhawk I think our chance are better to succeed in volleyball and baseball personally
