I don’t care what anyone else thinks, Beaty is leaving this program in much better shape than what he started with.
Talk to me about the scholarship situation.
This is sarcastic, don’t actually do it, but you get my point. It might be marginally better.
There is some real talent on this roster assuming it can be retained. A bowl in year 3 would be a success for the next staff imo.
I know you’ve cited Keegan for the scholarship numbers and Keegan was off on those because he didn’t have any real access to the program because of his constant over the top attacks of Beaty that went well beyond professional criticism.
The scholarship situation isn’t perfect, but it’s not the hole many, including you have claimed it to be.
I don’t even think it’ll take Miles until year 3 to get to a bowl game. Considering how close KU was to being 5-5 entering this game and with what’s returning on offense next season along with the secondary returning in tact along with some good pieces on the DLine like Kamara, I could see a bowl game next season or year 2 under Miles.
-
All right!
-
Pooka! Showing up ou!
-
Pooka is going to love playing in Les Miles offense.
-
Right back in it
-
this game is still winnable!
-
Nice drive! Good to hear the announcers give us some props for a change.

Calm down.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I am interested to see what kind of class can be put together. I’d probably be shocked if KU made a bowl next year though.
-
@BShark I have not had cold water splashed on my face today.

Likely didn’t have it nearly up to your knees either!
-
@approxinfinity of course!
-
Be nice to get a stop!
-
Just not sure the defense can make enough plays. Which, I mean, OU has an ELITE offense. I do really appreciate the effort from the team today.
-
The mayor!
-
@BShark This is true. I don’t envy you; I’ve been there very recently. The line from the water main up to my house was leaking badly when we moved in, and I had to have a guy dig it up and replace it. Not cheap.
-
Crap
-
If anyone wants to fumble right about now for OU, we’d take it.
-
That’s terrible defense on that 3rd down
-
Kylar Murray is pretty fast.

KU already used that one up in the first quarter.

Bad angle…
-
Murray is the best player in the game tonight and in the B12. There’s a reason he was a top 10 pick in the MLB draft this year and could have been a future NFL draft pick had he chosen that route.
-
@BShark two guys took awful angles there. Should have been a easy stop and a field goal.
-
Wellp.
-
Yeah, game over now.
-
Yeahhhh too bad. It could have been magical.
-
Well, shoot. Gained some respect in prime time. Hate to die second half
-
I can not wait until they get a legit QB. It’s beem too damn long.
-
KU was competitive with Oklahoma in Norman for basically 3 quarters. No shame in that considering the current state of the program.
I don’t think very many people thought KU would still be in the game most of the way through the 3rd quarter.
-
Facemask?
-
I thought so too
-
I’m going to be very sad if Pooka transfers out after this year. He’s so fun to watch.
-
@Woodrow hoping he gets a lotta accolades after this season
-
Maybe Beaty can have the free state fb job.

He should get Freshmen All American, 1st team All B12, and probably Newcomer of the Year in the B12.
He could also end up being Preseason Offensive POY next year as well.
-
I hate to say it, but I almost wish that Pooka didn’t have a great game tonight. Now that he got national TV exposure, what are the odds we keep him?
I think of what Sam Phillips of Sun Records said when he heard Elvis do “Don’t Be Cruel” : “Man, he’s gone now.”
-
Aren’t they all Louisiana people too? Will miles keep anyone to keep kids?
-
Pooka’s been practicing his passing skills.
-
Beaty is the happiest he’s been in a long time!
-
@nwhawkfan if he can play like that against ou, maybe that will be positive for us. He’ll be happy! I bet Beaty tells him to stay unless he’s going somewhere, and wants to take him.

Lil speedy guy

I imagine Hull will be retained.
-
@BShark will hull want to? Promote him?

Well, he won’t be OC so I am not sure where there is much room for promotion. Might give him a pay raise though if needed.
