Guy's let's see , try
-
It is Friday the 13th and a full moon. Maybe, just maybe we will only lose by 20!!
-
@kjayhawks We’re going to lose the 1st quarter by more than 20…
COME ON OCTOBER 24!!!
-
@kjayhawks I. AM. STUNNED. Hey, when a full moon is out, it can even turn Carter Stanley into a decent QB. (For a half anyway.)
Fingers crossed.

long way to go but for sure- - Carter has turned around after his 1st possession and had a good half for sure
-
Are we not terrible at football anymore? The offense looks great tonight.
-
Lol just… lol!
-
This is madness.
-
#BILM
-
I am so confused. I feel like my whole life has been a lie.
-
RAZ-ZLE DAZ-ZLE!
-
Come over to espn+
-
Sounds like a cliche, I know, but…
CONFIDENCE IS CONTAGIOUS
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Watching the game on First Row Sports.
Once you get past the pop-up ads, it’s not too bad. Cheaper than ESPN+ anyway.
-
It’s not on espn+ I have acc network on cox. It says it’s on, but wouldn’t play. I’m lucky I have it. Never watched that before
-
Who are these guys and how did they lose last week?
-
Time for a nice, long, clock-devouring drive…
-
Hehe I was confident that this would be a game. As per usual with my jayhawks, the more I bash them, the better they play. Just finish men and I’ll be $200 dollars richer!!!
-
Great play calling by BC. You ALWAYS go for 4th & 8 from your own 6 yard line…hehe
-
BC coach about to be fired or?
-
And in the words of the immortal Dandy Don Meredith:
“TURN OUT THE LAAGHTS, THE PARTY’S O-VUR”
-
And how about that Defense! Pitched a second-half shut out!
So proud of our guys.
-
Well the spread was correct, they just got the teams wrong.
-
Guys this was a huge upset BC was favored 21 when I bet Wednesday, think it got down to 19 but still winning by 24 I’m not sure I thought on our best day we could do that. I’d rate this right up with Texas as one of the biggest in a very long time. Good job all around, notice they run RPO and stuck with the same o line most the game. My inside sources said Miles was very vanilla the first 2 weeks and hadn’t shown much. Maybe a bit 2 vanilla. Idc about the rest of the season, just beat KSU.

7 straight scoring possessions - - TD - -TD - -TD - - TD - - FG - - FG – - TD ,
Makes me or gives me hope for next week. - -BC has been to bowls 5 of the last 6 years - a top running back - - to beat them like we did at their place - - makes a statement
-
HELL YES
-
And as luck would have it, I’m flying back to KC next week. Can’t make the WVU game due to family stuff, but at least I
-
…oops. At least I can spend a day on campus next week and bask in the winning feeling for awhile.
-
So you think the WVU coach gets a bonus for beating KU, or is there a penalty clause for losing?
-
@kjayhawks you cancelled the program, remember?
-
@nwhawkfan no one in Lawrence knows there was a game tonight
-
@DanR I didn’t either! I was just talking with someone atoday about college FB games being unusual on Fridays, and didn’t know ours was tonight.
-
@DanR their loss! Did you get to see it?
-
Did u know there was a harvest moon tonight? Typo said harvest monk
-
Herbert was outstanding! The postgame is on espn+
-
Man this thread was a fun read beginning to end. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK
-
@Crimsonorblue22 As you know, I live in Lawrence. I read the Larryville paper (Journal World) every day and I had NO clue the game was tonight (rather than tomorrow night) until about 6:00, when I happened to have the radio on in the car for about 5 seconds. OK, that’s probably my fault…
But, it wasn’t broadcast on our local cable, and I couldn’t get “Watch ESPN” to stream the game through our cable provider, so I went to a bar and watched the 2nd and 3rd quarters. They were obviously showing some sort of rogue stream (windows task bar was at the bottom of the picture.) Probably a minute lag, but no one cared. Lots of enthusiastic football fans, and it was fun. Thanks, “Set 'em up Jacks” on old K10 east Lawrence.
I’m still ticked off that I couldn’t just watch this AWAY game on local TV though. There would be a riot outside the AD’s house in Lawrence if they pulled this crap with BB.
Anyway… Rock chalk. Guys played great tonight!
-
I have eaten there before. Pay for stinking espn+ and we can’t get away games. Wonder if we’ll get the Texas game or if it will be on LHN ?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I still might lol. Miles to go still.
-
KU did not control the broadcast rights to the game last night. The broadcast rights belong to the conference of the home team. That’s why the game was on the ACC Network.
As for the game itself. Last night was a glimpse of the future of Kansas football. That was by far the best game Carter Stanley has played wearing a KU uniform. He mostly made the right decisions, he mostly made good throws. That was the difference between last week and last night.
The OLine wasn’t the issue last week. Carter Stanley was the issue. When a QB is a non threat like last week, defenses will stack the box. CCU played 9 in the box most of the game because Stanley didn’t give them a reason to respect the passing game.
BC took that same approach to start the game last night. They focused on stopping the run last night and Carter Stanley made them pay after the first couple of possessions. Once Stanley started completing some passes, that’s when the running game opened up and Pooka and Herbert took over.
The defense has been solid all year so far. The biggest difference is they aren’t creating turnovers like last year.
KU probably doesn’t play that well every week, but it was great to see a glimpse of the future under Miles. Also, Andrew Parchment might be the best receiver in the B12 this year.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Thanks, THawk. I always appreciate your insights. I’m still at a loss to explain the CC loss. But, at least our coaches and players didn’t dwell on the loss and found a way to be successful. Texas Tech at Arizona will be interesting today.
-
So, here is Tom Keegan’s preview of last night’s game (now a columnist for the Boston Herald), followed by his game story. Interesting that he doesn’t reference his earlier take.
https://www.bostonherald.com/2019/09/13/the-curse-of-the-mangino-travels-to-boston-college/
-
So glad Keegan doesn’t write for the LJW any more. I met him a handful of times and he always came across as an elitist a-hole. Still trying to claim KU screwed up by firing Mangino. Mangino lost the respect of most of the locker room and was going to have a mass exodus of players after the 2009 season had he stayed. What also gets ignored about that investigation is that the Arist Wright issue that triggered the investigation wasn’t a one time deal. It was the culmination of years of Mangino not respecting his players, KU staff and faculty, along with others in positions of authority. Mangino brought everything that happened to him on himself because he didn’t have the ability to show respect to other people. He was a guy who lacked self control and needed anger management, but never admitted he had those issues while at KU.
He also never bothered to develop or recruit a successor to Reesing so KU was going to awful in 2010 regardless of who was coaching them then.
-
@mayjay thx! I really don’t miss him.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Does anyone?
-
Well I’ll be honest, I miss the fat man. I have two buddies that played on that last team of his. They have told me plenty about Mangino and most of it was good. They pretty much said the defense was lazy and goofing off at practice daily. They didnt like being yelled at or held accountable for the actions. They also said alot about some of the behind scenes crap sweet Lou pulled. I’m not sure firing him was the worst decision but the hiring of Turner Gill and his massive contract is one of most laughable things in KU athletics history. It’s also a tell-tale of sweet Lou knowing he was going down and a final FU on the way out. Keegan was always hit or miss, he couldnt decide who’s side he was on most of the time.
-
I was talking Keegan.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I dont think I’ll miss him. Like I said hit or miss m, he never really had any great pieces IMO.
-
Ok heads up - -prediction time. - - Score / Attendance . - - I’m thinking temp wise suppose to be pretty nice - like 81 I heard - -I think we could hit 40-45 thousand - -hopefully anyways, - 7 I know it was ONE game but I’m going to go out and say KU - 27 - -WV 21 - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 I would like for the BC announcers to pick this one.
