NICHOLLS STATE: Predictions(Or At Least Hopes & Dreams)

Nicholls 31 Kansas 21

@stoptheflop I think you bring up valid post friend, although I was just about to make a thread lol. The effort of the team is one of the biggest question marks IMO, if these players love Beaty so much will they stand up and fight for him? When I was at the CMU game last year, there zero energy from the sideline and very few players seemed to be putting forth effort. I think people have talked up Nicholls a little too much, they ain’t Bama, they ain’t even NDSU. Yes we have 2 losses to FCS teams the past but both of those were with new coaches and very little experience as a team. The keys to a jayhawk victory are, stop the run and force them into passing, their QB had 13 picks a year ago. Get ahead early, the loss to South Dakota State we got down by 20 early but were the better team after we woke up. A fast start will keep the pressure off and help get the mo going early. I like Kansas to win a hard fought game 27-23.

Question: Are you wearing KU gear today? If yes, are you wearing it outside your home? As I was putting on a plain blue t-shirt and cargos, I noticed I wasn’t looking for a KU jersey to wear in support of my favorite team.

Headed to Lawrence this afternoon hoping to see a win. I will say 34-28 KU.
I did see where Vegas opened the line at 10.5 and it is now at 5.5! If KU loses I seriously hope Long just tells Beaty to kick rocks and not even let him in the locker room. ( that’s another topic for another thread)
Hoping the boys get a W today! Everyone enjoy the first full Saturday of CFB!
Well not exactly playing St Sister Mary’s of the blind ya know. - They are ranked 17th in the FCS and came pretty dam close to beating some pretty good teams - we shall see I guess

You STOP THAT MISTER lmao - -you little Debbie Downer lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Huh guess it’s true you do learn something everyday. - Now this isn’t directly KU related - however this makes it kind of special for me - makes me feel good for my wife. - Come to find out that her Nephew is the starting QB for the Oregon State Beavers. that’s kind of cool.
Pretty good sized kid 6’7 and 230 lbs really decent size for a QB. - got hurt and was out most of the year last year - -he is a Senior. Might have to watch a little of his game today he plays at 11:00 his name is Jake Luton he is a Senior. - -Told the wife , don’t be surprised if he isn’t picking himself up of the ground- -ALOT today they play Ohio State , but hey gonna watch some anyways - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@stoptheflop of course I’m wearing crimson and blue, I have a new fb shirt. If my leg wasn’t hurt, I’d be there! Lots of family there. Rock Chalk!

@BShark negative Ned! Boo
-
KU by a TD 31-24
-
This is our game of the year. KU 21 Nickels St 20. The goal posts are COMING DOWN!
-
@BShark If Nickels beats us, we might have to see if there is a Penny University we could schedule. Nickels might be too much…
Literal Reader Alert: The above post may not reflect the actual sentiments of the poster, but may actually reflect a bad Jethro joke. We are 3-33 the last 3 years.

Ok, one more, and then I’ll quit. Let the BB team help us win games. Let’s install dedric as QB. He is the best passer on our team, and at 6’9", he will be able to see clearly over the defense. We’ll go to the shotgun to avoid injury. The slot wr will KJ, and he’ll use his 6’7" frame to shield defenders, and we could throw buttonhooks to him all day long. Our TE and goal line back will be Doke…yeah, try to defend a 7 foot TE. Try and stop a 7 foot 280 lb running back at the goal. He’d make Okeye look like a mighty mite. Grimes and Vick could be our wrs, and we could use Dotson as our h-back. On defense, we could use Vick, Grimes, Dotson, Dedric and KJ as our secondary. Vick can jump a mile. dedric could be our 6’9" safety. Just try and throw against him. Of course, Lightfoot would make an outstanding linebacker because he does enjoy hitting people. Our defensive line would be Doke at nose guard, and Silvio and MacCormick at defensive end- they would bat down passes all day. Of course I haven’t forgot about my fav, Charlie. Somebody has to make sure those guys have water. Go get 'em, Charlie! I figure we’d be 9-3 and make the Orange Bowl…
-
@KUSTEVE you are right, better quit!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Realist Ralph imo.
-
@BShark No, you’re just being a downer. Even Beaty’s biggest critic/hater, Tom Keegan, is predicting a 3 win season for KU this season.

Keegan is a buffoon. If Beaty wins three games this year, I will stop posting about football for an entire year.
I’ll have to go find the article. I don’t see a single conference game being winnable with Beaty’s coaching ability.
-
@BShark no need to go that far! Just support.
-
Texas is back…to sucking lmao. Down 10 early to Maryland with an interim coach, just cracks me up. Tech is getting spanked by Ole Miss and had their QB leave due to an injury. OU is taking it to Lane Kiffin and FAU, as a TCU is easily handling a school for the blind.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I am not buying tickets again until Beaty is out. Also I think it would be really surprising for Beaty to suddenly watch his win total over three seasons in just one.

Mixed feelings on that game because Maryland does not deserve nice things.
Kliff might be on the hot seat. 30-33 record currently and has had plenty of time.
Oklahoma looking really saucy. FAU isn’t a terrible team (they would spank KU).
-
@BShark agreed, also Beaty is 3-33 as our head coach anyone that picks them to lose looks pretty accurate and realistic. I hope Beaty turns it around starting tonight and I predicted a win but if you dont think this could be a loss you’re cementing your knowledge or lack there of this team and the game of football.
-
@kjayhawks so you lack knowledge? You said it, not me! I’m just hoping for the players that have given their time to our school! I’m sure we will have a new coach next year, but I will continue to support Beaty til he’s gone.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He was saying if you think this is a LOCK win for KU then you don’t know football. That’s all.
-
Nicholls at +10.5 was an incredible bet btw.
-
@BShark I get it
-
Kingsberry maybe a worse coach that Beaty, down 17 goes for a 4 and 8 in the redzone a few minutes into the fourth quarter.
-
@kjayhawks mercy Tech’s defense has given up 560 yds of total yardage -that’s not going to get it done
-

WHOA WHOA WHOA
-
@BShark haha I said maybe
-
Watching CMU beat UK currently, we have no chance of beating them on the road next week
-
@kjayhawks Kentucky turned the ball over 4 times in the first half. That’s a recipe for an inferior team to steal a win against a better team.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree, I guess I’ll have to see how we do before a jump too far but they look like a decent team.
-
Place looks like it has 3500 people in it from what I’ve seen.
-
Defense looks as craptastic as one would expect from a Bowen defense early on.
-
I could run that in w/my torn meniscus! Big holes
-
N E G A T I V E N E D
-
@kjayhawks how many just left?
-
Crap!
-
This is ridiculous Bowen is the worst DC in history. @Crimsonorblue22 I’m not there just looking from TV
-
Screw firing Beaty right now, can Jeff Long fire Bowen immediately?

Money in the baaaank.

I would take this too.
-
Pooka in trouble!
-
Nice call
-
-
Clearly our offensive line isn’t ready to play. Nicholls state is killing both O and D lines.
-
There’s no reason why KU should struggle running the ball this much. Bender should not be our best rusher.
-
Penn St. was incredibly lucky to survive today against App. St.

Just an embarrassment tbh.

App State is FBS now if you didn’t know. I was pulling for them because Penn State is awful.
