She whispered that!
-
Why is she whispering
-
That was the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen.
-
Lmao talking shit while down double digits
-
“While the ball was dead - AFTER the play”
Glad he clarified that
-
@Crimsonorblue22 she forgot to wear the tinfoil hat her partner handed her, hearing voices now.
-
Why do you mention this at the end of game? The gun victims
-
Thought the campus shooting would be a great way to wrap up a bowl loss I guess.
-
@DanR awful!
-
How high could we be ranked preseason I wonder? Is sniffing top 15 possible?
-
Missed the bath
-
Hey can we get some penalty yards out of this melee?
-
missed the gatoraid dump. Good grief ESSPN
-
Told you there’d be a brawl
-
hope the refs are at the bottom of that scrum
-
When i dip you dip Bean dip
-
Refs fault for the near brawl.
-
If you’re familiar with pond scum, it’s a little above UNLV
-
Thanks Jason Bean for rescuing Jayhawk football this year.
-
UNLV sucks, come on coaches!
-
UNLV is the most classless university I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to spank that ass next season.
-
Jason won MOP
-
I’ll miss him
-
Well that was fun. Peace out homies!
-
And here we go. Brawl.
-
Good job, sports team!
Thanks for making the season fun, Bucketeers!!
Rock Chalk!
-
Good times! Good night everyone!
-
I got to be up at 4
-
Just to bad the officials had to try and steal the limelight - - -Nice finish to the Season guys - -NINE WINS, -just think in the past it would of taken five-six years to gt NINE Wins - -ROCK CHALK
-
I kinda wonder if Jason has parents. I looked at the roster and it doesn’t mention any family. Just wonder.
-
This Team could be REALLY GOOD next year
-
Skinner and Grimm had 6 passes combined averaging 40 yards per catch.
-
I did figure out Bean threw those picks because he wasn’t feeling well lol
-
Jason Bean You- - You my man are a true winner , Thank You for being a Kansas Jay Hawk- – -Great Game, Thank you for leading this team to this 9-4 Season – -ROCK CHALK

KU is going to be a Big 12 contender next season. We have a relatively easy schedule with only 4 games against 2023 bowl teams. UNLV, ISU, KSU, and West Virginia are the 4 schools KU plays that made a bowl this season.
If KU is a contender for the B12 next season, they’ll also be CFP contenders as well with the expanded playoffs.
-
Why do our coaches have to do those pill popping commercials? Who got in trouble?!? Lol
-
HAWKS
-
Jason Bean can have a pro career. He is a dual threat QB.
-
I didn’t watch all the football games, but Cobee and Grimm consistently stood out and seem like they could have a shot at the NFL. Neal could make a roster as well.
Do any KU players have a pro grade on them (draftable)? It seems like a couple of the big uglies sat out to get ready for the draft, so there should be at least that.
-
I sure hope that is KU’s last trip to the Guaranteed Flag Bowl. Glad I didn’t attend in person. I enjoyed our big play offense. I had hoped more of the younger players, like Cole Ballard would get a late series of play in. Hey, UNLV has quite a punter, Marshall Nicholas, 3 punts-53 yd avg. He would be a nice pickup in the portal if he’s so inclined.
-
@stoptheflop Hey it was the refs time to shine! Don’t step on it.
what a shit show!

KU DE Austin Booker who sat out last night is expected to declare for the NFL Draft. Booker is projected as an early Day 3 pick (4th-5th round) right now.
Starting LT Dominick Puni also opted out to focus on NFL Draft prep work. He’s also currently projected as a 4th-5th round pick.
Both players are steadily moving up draft boards and could each move into 3rd round pick territory with good showings in the Senior Bowl for Puni and Pro Day and Combine for each player.
For the 2024 NFL Draft, Mike Novitsky will also have a chance to be a late round pick.
Overall, KU has quite a bit of potential NFL talent on the roster. Both starting CB’s Bryant amd Dotson have NFL futures, Devin Neal announced he was coming back yesterday after projecting as a 3rd-4th round pick this draft cycle. Jalon Daniels could be a pick he can stay healthy for a season. I don’t know that any of the receivers will be drafted next season, but at least Grimm amd Arnold should get training camp invites in 2025.
-
I really love seeing KU players get drafted. Especially situations like this. Booker finally got a chance to see the field, for some reason Minnesota didn’t play him. Then with Puni, scouts got to see him play at a higher level.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 @BShark can you speak to whether it could be financially lucrative for Neal to stay, our emotions on the matter aside?

NIL deals help a bit, but I doubt it would be financially competitive with a rookie NFL contract in Neal’s case. A third round pick will make about $1 million per season on a rookie contract and a 7th round pick will make about $775k per season on a rookie deal.
Neal is definitely taking a financial risk by coming back next season because his NIL valuation is currently about $400k.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks. Next years team not only projects to have talent but also passion for the program. Amazing stuff.

I have a serious question for once.
During penalty breaks (so about 2 1/2 hours) the announcers were very complimentary of the KU program and the direction that LL has us heading.
My question is - did they talk like this when Mangino had us playing well and took us to bowl games in the day?
Is the program better or do we just have better players? I feel like the community embraces this team and definitely has better support from the A.D.
Bottom line - what’s different about us now and 25-ish years ago?

Mangino was an asshole of a human being who pissed a lot of people off around campus including high level donors and people in the AD’s office. He also didn’t make many friends in the media either. There’s a reason why other schools weren’t sniffing around Mangino when he broke through here. There’s also a reason why KU couldn’t secure the funding for stadium renovations even after the Orange Bowl and it was because of how much people hated Mangino as a person. Lew Perkins not being well liked either didn’t help when it came to fund raising.
Leipold is a much more personable and well liked person which is why he’s viewed much more favorably than Mangino ever was.
-
@nuleafjhawk the program is much better the Orange bowl season was a one hit wonder after the way things went down. LL has an excellent chance at not only a bowl game for a third consecutive year for the first time in school history but this team at this moment with whom we know is returning could be playing for a conference championship next year.
