Tell you what I’m afraid of and that is KU is going to fall right in line with so many other Schools. With the rule or limitation with the roster like going from in the past of more around 124 now having to be at 105 then the way the portal has become and the NIL- - I think we are going to fall right in line. Unfortunately I’m afraid we are going to see mass departures from Walk on’s PWO’s , redshirts – kids that feel like they want to go where they have a better chance of seeing game time earlier- like I have read your going to be seeing kids forced out because staff having to deal with the new limitations on the roster. The portal isn’t even open for another week the 9th and your already seeing some pretty decent players declaring to transfer.- - the 5 * wide receiver from Texas Tech , a couple of what looks like decent QB’s - Rickie Collins from LSU-- -Anthony Colundrea from Virginia, - -I just think we are going to lose some quality players. - -Like I feel there is a strong chance we lose Marshall if we bring in another QB - in the 25 class , lose either him or McCombs from the 26 class. - -They have just made a huge mess out of this , -just turned the portal into like a game show – -Let’s make a Deal-- , just a big meat markeet i

@Kubie It seems like half of Q’s drives are charges. He’s slow. I had hoped he would be just reacting at this point in the season to speed him up some. It’s not the case though and he’s physically slow and thinking too much also.

@HawkChamp Yeah I think Self should continue to start Grimes as well at least through these last few non-conference games. If he hasn’t made strides by the time Doke returns then I see the value in sticking with Garrett. At that point your choosing which guys can win you games, especially in conference. Not much has gone right for him though. The refs have it out for him on his drives and he’s made some other poor decisions and because the games have been close Self goes with whoever isn’t making mistakes.

@JayHawkFanToo No shoes aren’t even a little the reason for the contracts. KU fans buy A TON of gear. Enough to cover even the crazy $191M contract. I worked in this exact field, first hand, as a manager, and know some numbers to back this up. The paying players behind closed doors is more of a compound effect of this. I can make a longer more detailed post if you’d like tomorrow.

@KUSTEVE the type of guy that deserves to get teepeed until the end of time.

@Crimsonorblue22 it was damn hot yesterday lol

@JayHawkFanToo I’ll agree that different eras are hard to gauge but Owens flatout was not spectacular, those last 6 years stank.

@KUSTEVE if Silvio wasn’t playing like a badass last night, we lost that game.

Good one mayjay; hand’t heard it before.

@jaybate-1.0 Good post. Pot doesn’t have money backing it. At least… not yet. Big Business likes pot’s current state being diffused into many small profiteers. This helps keep big money from coming to it’s rescue because no big players involved. Pot’s legality related to pot being used as a tool to demonize Hispanic people crossing our southern border as well as other people of color. Pot was the tool used to defend racism - “The effort to demonize cannabis was spearheaded by Harry Anslinger, director of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962. Anslinger was able to stir up anti-cannabis sentiment by citing it as the cause of violent and unlawful acts by minorities. “Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind,” he stated. “Most marijuana smokers are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage.”” https://www.leafbuyer.com/blog/the-origin-of-the-term-marijuana/ Here is another example of how pot was attacked because of the economic threat of hemp to devastate the wood pulp industry. This is still a key factor today. Hemp has the promise to help our environment, yet it continues to be held back. http://theinfluence.org/devil-weed-how-the-newspaper-industry-and-nylon-played-shameful-roles-in-criminalizing-marijuana/ There has never been the avenue for profiteers to stand and support pot with large economic leverage. This has been the biggest issue around pot’s legality. Compare that to alcohol.

@Crimsonorblue22 Stupid coaching move. You tell your players to suck it up and PLAY. Let ur play do the talking. Teaches kids to just quit when things dont go ur way
