Beat Silo Tech! Lets save this football season!
-
I swear our WR have made some incredible catches this year. Probably the highlight.
-
Throw. The. Ball.
-
fumbled too. Sorry JD. I’ve given up on you man
-
ANOTHER YEAR = - - F - - -
-
This should be JDs last game as a starter. Move on. Let’s see what we have in Ballard
-
I’m pretty sure Trump is a K-State fan.
-
You have to put that one in the air, another game we blew smh. At some point is it time to move on from JD. He has been a huge piece in 3 losses this season with his costly turnovers
-
Yeah man that was disgusting. I was expecting to get blown out so this felt even worse. How on earth do you not throw that ball
-
Well we had some hopes at least. We had no answer for that defensive intensity in the last drive. KState fans, happy for your win against a 2-5 team. Basketball is a sport too and we own this state in that sport more than you do in football because we have banners and trophies.

@rcjhdraft He was too busy watching the piss run down his leg

Average Kansas FB 4q moment unfortunately
-
Close. Covered the spread at least. Enjoy knowing all the KSU fans that bet on the game lost.
-
A doinked XP and 29 stepping out of bounds. Man.
-
Is JD coming back next season ? It maybe for the best if not. I thought the defense really played well for having a short field repeatedly. We got out coached in several key points of the game. We once again couldn’t make simple plays that D1 football players should make routinely like extra points, catching passes and fielding kick offs. It’s ground hog day with these idiots every week.
-
I’ve missed a lot of our games this year but does JD6 know what a hot route is or how to identify a blitz?
Every single time ksu blitzed that final drive he had zero answer for it
Leipold and his staff looks to be clowned without the true brains up in Pennsylvania now….
-
Rock chalk!
-
@kjayhawks TBD. I hope so. The last couple games he’s shown a lot of good things. Q catches one perfect ball and we’re having a different chat
-
@FarmerJayhawk he has been better for sure but turnovers in key moments have been his niche this season. The pass before half was likely PI but wasn’t a smart read to being with, then back to back fumbles to end drives.
-
We get spanked by 20 Friday night in a game that never felt close and choke away a win against silo tech for the second straight year. It’s been pretty tough to be a jayhawk these last few years. I’m sorry but no way we make a FF in basketball.
-
Seems absurd that 6-7 guys rushing the passer wouldn’t leave a few chances for numerous over the middle passes. But no one ran crossing routes, despite having 2 timeouts and over a minute left. I am now in the fire the OC camp.
-
@mayjay right, this is the third time this season JD didn’t throw to at least give his guys a chance and fumbled it. I would’ve ran a jail break screen once or twice there middle of the field was wide open.
-
Weirdest stat I’ve ever seen KU 2-6 with a +46 in the points column.
-
@rcjhdraft - Screw ups at the end of the game are habitual this year. At least KSU didn’t score before the half. Another loss.
-
Hi, Hollywood? It’s the Kansas Jayhawks here. Yes, i know, we seem to call week after week. Our coaches and staff have run out of dramatic ways to lose games. You know, since we do it every week now. We have to keep the fans on the edges of their seats. Do you have anybody available who can write up a good implosion, tearjerker ending for our fans? Oh, good. Thx. Just make sure the script arrives with about 3-4 minutes to go in the 4th quarter tonight. Oh, and say hi to Breaking Bad’s Aaron Paul for us. Our fans are getting almost as good at crying on cue this season. Cheers.
-
This loss will hurt for a while, wanted to beat KCU so baddd and came so close.
-
@AsadZ it will be five years before we have the chance again or longer.

Bad teams make losing plays. It makes it so much harder to watch. A bad team that is competitive is so much more heartbreaking to watch than a bad team that’s awful.

This is a conundrum. I think it’s hard to bring him back after this season because it feels like it’s time to turn the page.
Talent-wise I get the argument for keeping him. But I genuinely wonder if a year from now he’s the best QB on the roster.
Devil you know vs the devil you don’t…
-
Anyone else just want to throw up this morning

I can’t even be upset anymore with this team because it’s gone from disappointing to literally laughable. Raiders-esk
-
@Kcmatt7 ya I just need to waive the white flag I guess like @nuleafjhawk did
-
I can easily imagine what the feeling would be like if we had dug deep and won them all.
That would have been the furthest thought from mind 4 years ago.
-
@kjayhawks I have loved KU for so long…my house looks like a Jayhawk shrine. But I’ve reached that level of disappointment. Sorry to be a Debbie downer, everyone. But I don’t think it’s unrealistic.
-
Boy, it’s both easy and tough to be down on JD after this game.
He really seemed like he was on his passing and running game. He made some excellent passes — and some really accurate deep passes. That deep ball that was dropped was spot on! I was happy to see he and the receivers seemed to be connecting consistently, finally.
But then that other stuff happened. We had all those good thoughts and feelings like we were gonna win, and then either a pick or a fumble. The pick was irritating, but the fumble was infuriating. Why???
I don’t know how you fix that. Decision making? If you can’t make the right decision after all these years in the program, then it’s likely not gonna change.
The even worse part was that I was just waiting for all this to happen. Give us hope, and KU football fans can’t help but wait for the comically bad to happen. That sucks. Don’t we deserve better?
-
Just like last year, JD tries to make a hero-play. Then it was an injury trying to get an unnecessary extra yard, this time tries to vault a defender while holding the ball out in one hand, resulting in a fumble. Does he understand that at the end of the gamevyou HAVE to protect the ball?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk maybe it’s the price we pay for being so good at basketball for so long. Maybe the day KU opened someone said “you can be good at football or basketball. Pick one” obviously we chose basketball.
-
Even with the mistakes Daniels made last night. He didn’t step out at the 1 or miss a PAT. That’s 3 points right there. That’s the most frustrating thing this year. This team isn’t bad, it’s been a couple of plays here and there that have resulted in 5 of the 6 losses.
This team is so close and to see so many here quitting on this team is disappointing.

Yeah I guess it depends how much faith you have in Zeke. Love Ballard but he’s a break glass kind of guy. And do we want to fish in the portal? Maybe… if a new OC wants to bring in his guy then you definitely consider it. I think JD and Lubick would be a great combo but idk if that’s found to happen.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 See, you and I are looking at the exact same things and seeing them completely differently.
I’d be much more tolerant if we were getting beat by 30 every game. I’d think we don’t have the athletes or coaches (that one is still under consideration). Or if we had major injuries. But we’re loaded with talent. We have absolutely gift wrapped every loss for the opponents. Making bonehead plays.we run when we should pass. We pass when we should run. I’ve never seen what looks like a good team come up with so many stupid ways to lose.

Why the hell would you rather see KU get beat by 30 weekly instead of being competitive? We went through that for a decade. I don’t ever deal with that again. That’s what led to so much apathy wothin the program that KU couldn’t raise the funds needed to renovate the stadium 15 years ago when they forst began trying to modernize Memorial Stadium. Where KU is at now means KU is very close to building something consistent and isn’t something worth bailing on now. This is the time to keep building the program and depth and keep raising funds.
-
Yeah when I was a student at KU from 10-16 things were… bleak. Some games had tens of students there. I think by the end of one big blowout against Baylor it was literally just my friend group and the band on the east side. Probably why I’m so quick to give grace to this group, from almost day 1 things seemed different, culminating in that win in Austin. We’ve come from looking like Hays against KSU to being the better team two years in a row. Nobody asks if I’m wearing KU football gear ironically anymore.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 whatever you think
-
I mean I agree with @Texas-Hawk-10 . I havent been excited about KU football for a decade. I have watched all their games this year. Getting ass kicked is unwatchable.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 There’s the “What if’s” I mentioned at the beginning of the game thread. This one fit the pattern of the season. Another game and 3 very real what ifs. Another one on a holding penalty that felt like a big momentum switch. The safety was the biggest. Led to the deficit being as big as 9 several times instead of 7. Huge difference. We get the ball at the 25 after their first TD and who knows. Instead of KState marches down and suddenly 16 points in about 4 minutes of clock time. It’s not as glaring when it happens in the middle of the game, but other than that ridiculous 4 minutes we outscore them 27-13.

Sorry I don’t think losing a bunch of close games makes this team worse than the Weis/Beaty teams that couldn’t even beat shitty FCS teams most seasons and was lucky to lose by less than 40 against B12 teams.
But of course, there are many bandwagon football fans here that didn’t suffer through those years because they didn’t want to watch those years and don’t know just how bad it was because all they looked at was a box score.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I’m not one of the bandwagon fans. I’ve been watching for 60+ years. I’ve seen some good teams and a LOT of really bad ones.
If you like watching them lose close games and that makes them more palatable to you - great. I don’t. The continual close game blunders make them look laughable to me. If you tell me honestly that you thought we were going to win Saturday, I’d be surprised. I said I’d rather get blown out because there’s not much emotional “trauma”
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 i’m curious how many people actually watched all of the Gill / Weiss / Miles / Beatty games? What kind of masochist does it take
-
@approxinfinity sigh. Guilty.

“Last night was the game that firmly cemented our place in history as one of the worst college football teams of all time.”
Your exact words about last night. If you think a 2 point loss is what cements this KU team as one of the all time worst teams, then genuinely question how much you paid attention during the Weis/Beaty years because this team isn’t even bottom a bottom 5 KU team of the past decade, let alone and all time bad team, maybe all time disappointing, but nowhere near all time bad.

Multiple trips to Austin and Waco with a trip to Fort Worth thrown in. Since I graduated in 2010, I’ve been to 3 games in Austin (unfortunately neither of KU’s wins), 4 times to Waco (going to all the Magnolia stuff was how I bribed an ex to go multiple times), I was at the Rice game in 2012 I believe whenever KU came down here amd the UH game a couple of years ago when we weren’t expecting much yet in Leipold’s second season. There was also a TCU games in Fort Worth a few years back. I’ve seen the football team almost as many times as I’ve seen the basketball team in person post graduation.
