Interesting Games Today?
-
@kjayhawks ah, yeah I’m not really interested in bowl results in the opt out/Covid era. Too often it’s just who wants to be there rather than actual quality
-
@FarmerJayhawk we are all fair to gauge it our way for sure but the opting out and Covid are just the last few years. The Pac has struggled in bowl games since Pete Carroll was on the sidelines.
-
PAC worst football conference the last few years. No one watches their super late games - makes it hard to recruit or stir national interest. You’d think they would be under ranked and roll in bowl games with the lack of exposure.
-
Looking ahead to Saturday Big 12 action, there isn’t a must see game. If I can find it, I’ll watch KSt/Mizzou at 11am and hope KSt crushes, humiliates, gutter stomps them. I guess TCU/Houston and BYU/Ark are OK. At least watching BYU at 6:30 on ESPN2 will give us a heads up on next Saturday’s game. Our 9:30 game will give us some insight into Jalen’s health. Good grief, the sports world is just falling all over itself over Coach Prime. The Colo/ColoSt game gets an ESPN slot at 9pm.
-
Deion is interesting. Turned that roster over in a year. He’s also brash and many want to watch him fail. Hate watching is real too. I hope he does well, it’s good for the future big12.
-
@stoptheflop You missed the Backyard Brawl tomorrow. Great rivalry and should be a good game.
-
@dylans 90% of KSU fans hate watch KU basketball
-
@kjayhawks - only 90%? I thought it would be higher.
-
@kjayhawks - unless KU is playing I have never watched a single KSU game. I leave the room if others have the game on. It’s like watching paint dry boring af.

Mommy always told me the other kids threw rocks at me because they liked me!

I cheer any team playing Missouri and crow every Missouri loss. I don’t focus or care about what other fans do or think about KU. I will continue to scream my head off over everything KU(just ask my wife) and root against KU’s rivals, even if it means hoping KState beats Missou. Today, KState is the lesser of the evils and any SEC loss helps the Big 12.
-
Ridiculous flop by a Missou special teams player. Stupid and sad that players think they need to cheat with a flop to gain some advantage. Fortunately, the refs didn’t fall for it.
-
I’m finding myself watching the K-State/Mizzou game mostly with ambivalence and hope that there’s some way both could lose.
I definitely am rooting against Missouri, but it also feels wrong to feel good when K-State has success.
-
Hey look at those Long Island Sharks scoring a TD at Baylor. But, Baylor up 16-7 at the half.
-
Big 12 not showing out very well. Iowa State tied with Ohio U 0-0 @ halftime. Baylor not blowing out LIU (16-7 @ half). K-State losing by 3 @ the half to Misery. Ugh.
-
@Gorilla72 Fortunately, there’s another half.
-
Illinois hanging with #7 Penn state way better than they did with unranked Kansas.
-
Oh no! Ohio is ahead of ISt in the 3rdQ 7-0
-
Iowa State offensive is worse than last year and that’s saying a lot. I know Dekkers is out suspended
-
Misery has passed for 320 yds. I hope KU will take advantage of that weak-ass secondary and end the 14 game losing streak to KSt.
-
The mighty MAC Ohio Bobcats beat ISt 10-7. Now does anyone else think Matt Campbell may be on the chopping block?
-
K-State goes down to Misery by 3. Fans rush the field like it’s a big game. TV guys say it’s a rivalry game?

It is a h HUGE GAME for these Schools. - -I LOVE IT couldn’t of happened to anyone better. - -I can’t stand K/State , I will go out of my way to drive around Manhattan - -there is NOTHING in that miserable town that interests me - -way to go Mizzou What a Saturday, HELL YA

Yes, KSU-Missouri is a rivalry game, not on par with either school and KU, but it’s still a rivalry game. Missouri’s been average the past few years so beating a top 15 team on a walk-off 61 yard FG is absolutely going to cause fans to storm the field as they should for a big win.
If KU beats KSU later this season, I hope our fans storm the field as well because of how bad we’ve been against KSU for basically the last 30-35 years.

According to jwill they, Mizzou, was chanting fu KU. It was posted.

I would expect nothing less from them, lol!

Some talk this week about Misery dodging KU at the Liberty Bowl. Since we still have 4 hours until KU’s game starts, I looked up the projected payouts of the bowls. Missouri got their ass kicked in the Gazpacho Soup Bowl or some such name. That bowl was scheduled to pay $1,125,000. Whereas, the Liberty Bowl that MU passed up paid $4,700,000. Way to go Misery.
-
BYU looking not great against pirate Kansas
-
Oklahoma state sucks. KSU showed if you can pressure Howard he will turn the ball over. ISU sucks.
UCF will be a tough game to win. Cincy looks like they’ll at least put up a fight.
Still it looks like this team should go bowling. Nevada, ISU, OSU and BYU should be wins. UCF, TTU, KSU, and Cincy could be wins.
Still feel like we are on pace to see an 8+ win season to me.
-
Really stinks gameday already did UT this year. A 4-0 KU in Austin would have been a great gameday.
As of right now I think Gameday should do Notre Dame vs Duke that week. I wish they didn’t do Boulder already or I’d say USC at Colorado.

Likely wouldn’t go to Austin for KU/Texas regardless because UT has a potentially much bigger match up the following week that GameDay would likely be at if both Texas and Oklahoma are still undefeated at 5-0 and I see no reason to think that won’t happen at this point.
-
BYU not great - -but quality, gonna have to get after them
-
Rumor has I KSU coach Klieman is on his way to Michigan State and did not return to Manhattan with the team.
-
I think it’s a joke. Kstate rushing to judge Morris pay back.
-
Whew. Nice to be on the West Coast when KU is playing at Nevada. Glad we won.
Honestly, when I first saw the 28 pt line, I woulda bet the house and took the points if I lived in Reno!
-
I can’t believe it , but I now check Colorado’s game and will check in during commercial breaks of KU’s game. If I was a betting person, I’d probably take Colo and the 3 TDs.
-
Went to Purdue/Wisconsin last night and Purdue fans chant IUSucks at every kickoff.
-
Have to think this is Gundy’s final season in Stillwater
-
Ya Gundy is a ticking bomb at this point. That game for us would be a bad loss at this point. Humble Pie served to Colorado
-
Lets go Baylor!
-
@approxinfinity I just want Baylor to put up a physical fight. Don’t let Texas rest in the 4th
-
Wow. Texas is GOOD
-
Baylor is a team I wished we played this season for sure. Scheduling is going to a huge factor not only this season but for years to come in this conference as in whom makes it to the title game. Imagine if we had schedule like BYU, Baylor, WVU, Houston, ISU, OSU, Tech, Cincinnati and KSU. I’d bet we wouldn’t lose more than 2 games and make it to Championship.
-
I thought I’d check Nevada to see if they could snap the nations longest losing streak. They blew a 17-0 halftime lead to Texas state lost 38-24.

I thought Nevada looked really good against us. Same with BYU. Both QBs played well, except for the INTs. Except for the Illinois game, is our defense still so weak that bad teams look decent? But, 4-0 Baby. Hopefully, KU gets better on both sides of the ball this week and KU upsets Quitter Texas. I look forward to Oklahoma and Texas having the same SEC success as Nebraska and Missouri.

Yes, our defense is improved, but still not good, especially the pass defense. This is an improved team that has a chance to win 8-9 games this season because Oklahoma State and Texas Tech appear to be mich worse teams than expected this year. The question is can this team play well on the road because other than the WVU game, KU never looked that good away from home and didn’t look good on the road against one of the worst FBS teams this year.
-
@kjayhawks had a hard time deciding how much the outcome of that game was Texas playing well or Baylor playing poorly. Second half felt like more the latter.

Don’t forget Iowa State -really bad . Sure they scored yesterday , but a lot of that was because they were playing a worse team. - - -Oklahoma St they are really bad Gundy is in trouble. Cincinnati even though they lost looks a little better then I thought, UCF is going to be interesting. I wouldn’t go as far as saying our defense is weak .Our defense won that game for us yesterday Fumble and INT retuned for TD’S like three QB sacks & many once again TFL’S they are getting better. - -True Slovis threw for 357 yards but it took FIFTY ONE attempts to get those yards ,& the reason he had to throw that many times was from being behind because totally shutting down their run game with the defense - -averaged 0.4 yards per carry, that’s not going to win you any games
The defense is getting better, got some pieces that takes time, yet you figure they not going at Bryant hardly at all - -Robinson , Booker , Burroughs coming along - -Berryhill is getting better although hurt right now Got some ways to go but they not weak. It was mentioned if we could take a touchdown off the boards this eason would be worth a Couple of more wins and they are doing that.
A lot of this is because our offense is killing us with their dam untimely penalties. It’s not just how many we are getting but it’s also WHEN we are getting them. They costing us points when were driving, plus on top of those offense being careless with maintaining ball control - - fumbling and such.- -Stupid penalties putting the offense in bad hole costing us big yardage starting drives - -if the Offense would stop making costly stupid penalties a couple of these games would of been much worse - - we are going to be fine
-
This KSU vs OSU game is strange as heck. If Okie state could ever score a touchdown they’d be up 30.
