@approxinfinity this schedule as I said above is looking much tougher than originally thought. Sadly if we could finish games, we are ranked in the top 10 right now.
-
@kjayhawks We DO finish games! Poorly…
-
Probably not going to get any easier next year?

The more I watch this league the more I’m confused about who’s any good. ASU currently beating Utah
The margin for error being so thin makes it even more amazing KU is somehow 1-5.
There is a parallel universe where this team is undefeated going into Manhattan and college game day/big noon is there.
-
Penn State converted a 4th and 7 and a 4th and 10 when they were down 7 in the 4th and tied it up with a TD, then the defense held and they won in OT.
-
Further confusing me about how good or bad we are. KU narrowly loses to Illinois. Wisconsin (not very good this year and with a back up QB) destroys Purdue, probably worst team in BIG, last week. Purdue narrowly loses to Illinois today in OT. KU is really better than their crazy bad record looks.
-
Things are getting weird in a few games
-
Texas fans throwing stuff on the field on a call and the refs deciding to pick of the flag several minutes later
-
@kjayhawks SUPER classy.
-
@nuleafjhawk sounds like Texas
-
Corn??
-
Let’s go Houston
-
We need to hire Willie Fritz he beat KSU in methattan as Tulane’s head coach a few years ago. He’s a good coach Houston seems to be improving every week at this point.

And KU beat the shit out of Fritz 2 weeks ago.
-
And weather was a very big factor today in that game.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 true but if Fritz is coaching the hawks this season we ain’t lost yet.
-
Oh it’s been a great day – -A GREAT DAY- - First Iowa St gets knocked off their all mighty horse-- -that was Awesome, - -Then K/Sucks get’s beat by Houston - - -HOUSTON ! !
Just goes to show how this football Season has worked out. You know Ku could be just a easily 6 – 2 instead of 2 - – 6.-We have lost FOUR GAMES by a combined total of THIRTHTEEN POINTS-- THIRTHTEEN ! ! AND in those we have led in the FOURTH QTR, where as KSU could be just as easily be five & Four instead of Seven & two- they have won TWO of their games by a total of FIVE POINTS -Colorado-- 31-28- - - & KU - -29-27,- -so if I was one of their fans I wouldn’t be squealing to loud- -They have been playing with fire and it finally caught them today, This is the same Houston team we boat race 42- -14. - -just a few breaks here , a few breaks there, and our Season would be much better BUT that’s football fella’s

I doubt that
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Fritz is taking a team much less talented than ours and will end up winning more games in not only the conference but overall. Fritz> Leipold

Cool story bro! Let me know when UH plays a tougher non-conference and conference schedule than KU, then that argument would have some merit. Right now, it’s just you grasping at straws to find something to complain about.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Guess I’m not seeing anything that makes me think their non conference schedule was that easy. We both played UNLV and lost. They played OU on the road, lost we played Illinois on the road and lost. They don’t play an FCS team like we did in Lindenwood but played rice and won. They also beat both TCU and KSU, they seem to improve everytime they get on the field unlike us. Please expand on how much easier their non conference was than ours because it makes no logical sense looking at them. They also have several common opponents in conference and have beaten teams we lost to with less talent. Sounds like superior coaching to most logical folks. I would agree theirs is slightly easier. Fritz is winning more games with less talent that is a fact not an opinion buddy.
-
@kjayhawks It’s an age old debate. Can coaching prevent kids from losing their heads like we did against UNLV and try to pick up a fumble and run with it instead of just fall on it? Can coaching prevent Skinner (?) from dropping a wide open TD pass at Kstate? Can coaching prevent the kick returner from catching a KO at the 1/2 yard line and stepping out of bounds? Can coaching prevent refs from botching some calls against TCU?
On the other hand people would say great coaching will prevent Jaylon from making that bad throw at U of I at the end of the half. Great coaching will prevent the 4th quarter meltdowns. Great coaching will prevent the insane play calling we’ve all complained about from Grimes.
I really kind of think both can be blamed. Not sure the Houston coach whom we’ve waxed two years straight now can deliver us to undefeated land, especially when what you claim and the reality is a difference of 6 games.
-
@wissox Fritz is in his first year at Houston and is a proven winner at this level. I think he has proven he is a better coach than Leipold has been this season. You don’t have to think the same but have players not know wtf they are doing on kickoffs 8 weeks in is a direct reflection of coaching. I’m still waiting from the response from @Texas-Hawk-10 as to how Houston non conference schedule is so much easier than ours other than he was too lazy to look it up.
-
@kjayhawks “Fritz is in his first year at Houston”. Don’t let the facts ruin my narrative! It looks a lot like you don’t let facts ruin your narratives when you say he’s a better coach than Leipold when that’s the one team we’ve had our way with. I look at their schedule. Still not sure how you look at that and say better than leipold, especially when you have two bowl appearances in the last two seasons.
-
@wissox I love farting around debating @Texas-Hawk-10 is one of my favorites will go back and forth for and I’m always laughing by the end like I tell everyone it’s just a chat room.
