Ya , I’ve been hearing that for some time off their boards - looks like could happen
-
@rockchalkjayhawk They wouldn’t have to worry about losing their new coach to the NFL if that’s the hire.
-
Matt Rhule has officially been named the next head coach at Nebraska.
-
I think Matt Rhule is a home run hire for the Shuckers. He’s going to have the Texas connections to recruit Texas. Plus, this isn’t his first rodeo rebuilding teams. He rebuilt Temple and Baylor very quick.

Wrap up the regular season tonight. - - Hoping to be competitive. Afraid Vaughn runs wils , Howard picks our secondary apart been pretty shaky all year, I thinks that’s where we need the most help , the defensive side of the ball
I think a lot of how this game goes is on how KU approachs it. - -Do we play Jalen take the chance on he re-injuring and then not be available for the Bowl game ? Do we play Bean and sit Jalen ? – OR do we sit both Jalen & Jason - -play our freshman Vasko , give he gain experience & stil not lose his red shirt and save BOTH Jalen & Jason for the bowl? Hoping for the best. Play competitive - -play hard – look forward

A KU win A) ends the 13 year streak,
knocks KSU out of the B12 title game, and C) IT’S KSU, GO BEAT THEM!!! Beating KSU doesn’t happen with Vasko or Bean starting at QB.

Nobody is 100% in game 12 of a season. Unless the bowl game ends up being against Missouri, I don’t really care about winning or losing that game as much as I care about beating KSU. Getting the extra practices from being in a bowl game are far more important than the outcome of that bowl game right now for KU.
-
Guessing 42-24 KSU. We just don’t have the horses to go 60 minutes with them…. Yet.
-
@FarmerJayhawk ugh, I’m praying for a Christmas miracle!
-
This game is a win-win for us. Win, and we crush Silo Tech to the bone - lose, and we crush Texas’ pipe dream of making the conference championship game. What’s the downside here?
-

Probably more like 52-14 - -Vaughn gonna run wild - -Howard go bat doo - pick our secondary apart
-
We want to get a good bowl game and I don’t want
from ksu people! Our boys deserve it! Great for recruiting! We are due!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Liberty Bowl vs Missouri

@BShark my son said something about that ksu then Mizzou, ugh

K-State isn’t that much better talentwise. They look significantly better prepared, but that’s on the coaches for not having guys ready to go.
-
I think KU beats KSU next season. Our offense is good enough to hang with everyone else in the B12. Give Leipold and Borland another off-season to upgrade the defense (DLine specifically) and next year could see KU finish top half of the league and flip a couple of the close losses this year into wins.
-
The two other areas of focus need to be special teams because that’s hurt KU a bunch this year and not just the kicker. We also need to clean up penalties because it seems like we usually have 2 or 3 per game that end up being drive killers and are dumb mental mistakes.
KU is close to being a really good team.
-
If we hadn’t given away that free touchdown early on, a KU FG could win it!

Should be tied. A special teams mistake also set up the safety.
-
That’s a momentum killer.
-
Not sure what they’re reviewing, clear fumble and KSU recovery unfortunately.
-
Hopefully Neal just misses a play or two. That’s who KU cannot afford to lose even more than Daniels.
-
Hey we’re in this in Q4. We’re so, so, so close to being league championship caliber
-
Hard to overturn the Casey catch.
-
Well they overturned the Casey catch. Still sitting pretty good. Obviously we need the score and we got it!
-
That should be spearing/targeting
-
Haven’t watched college football in years- my wife just said, “I like this. They move slow enough I can tell everything that’s going on.”

Casey wasn’t celebrating like he caught it after that play. I thought it was a good overturn.

Does USC jump Ohio St. in the playoff rankings this week?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t think so. Utah isn’t a bad loss, but neither is Michigan.
-
I love how we have been competitive this season. - -no Matter I’m still proud of these guys and the progress we have made.—So Glad we have Coach in the fold for some time. - -Were closing the gap guys - -were closing the Gap
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Anyone concerned about losing Leipold to Nebraska?:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t think so. Utah isn’t a bad loss, but neither is Michigan.
USC has the better resume to me. Each has an 11 point home win over Notre Dame as their signature win, Ohio St. has the better 2nd best win with PSU being a better win than UCLA, but the nature of the losses make the difference to me. USC lost by one on the road to Utah on a 2 point conversation at the end of the game while Ohio St. got blown out at home by Michigan. USC is also playing for a conference title and Ohio St. isn’t and that’s traditionally mattered to the committee.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yep, those traditional metrics make sense. And I agree in that I’d have USC over OSU on my ballot if I had one. I think the committee will still like OSU on strength of record and game control (i.e. how they’ve looked minute to minute or style points). That’s what makes it fun!

Looks like Wisconsin is going after Luke Fickell from Cincinnati.

Most dysfunctional programs: 1- Nebraska 2-Auburn. Feel free to add to the list…

@Jethro all time? #1 Baylor just ahead of Scott Drew when they were murdering each other. #2 Missouri a couple years ago during the race riot stuff and mostly empty dorms due to poor enrollment.

@Jethro random one. Florida A&M

@wissox Not after the K-State game…

Chicago St. DI school. Played as an independent and in all sorts of oddball conferences including the Great Western which had a map stretching across the country from California to South Carolina to New York. They have been horrid forever, generate zero interest in basketball rich Chicago, have a fantastic 8 or 9000 seat arena which no one goes to. I don’t know how they justify having a team. I don’t know where the money comes from to pay coaches and fly guys all over the country and offer schollies. It’s 8 miles from my house and I’ve never been tempted to go to a game there because they never play anyone good at home.

Lance pretty much wrote his own contract
-
@FarmerJayhawk. LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Lance Leipold has signed his lucrative contract extension at Kansas, which includes a massive pay raise for the Jayhawks’ football coach along with his assistants and staff, and could keep him tied to the school through the 2029 season.
Under terms of the contract, which was agreed to last week and made public Tuesday, Leipold will make $5 million in the first year of the deal with annual $100,000 increases. Leipold also gets a $750,000 signing bonus while his buyout rises to $12.5 million before gradually decreasing over time.
His original contract was a $16.5 million, six-year pact that paid him $2.2 million last year with $200,000 increases each season. Leipold had a year added to the deal Sept. 1 before leading the Jayhawks to a 5-0 start and spot in the Top 25; the Jayhawks dealt with injuries down the stretch and finished 6-6 for their first bowl appearance since 2008.
“When we hired Lance Leipold 19 months ago, we were confident we had found the ideal fit for KU and that has been reinforced every single day since his arrival,” Kansas athletic director Travis Goff said. “In short order, Lance and his family have engrained themselves in the Lawrence community and have made an impact that extends far beyond the football program, to the broader university and Lawrence communities.

Lance is NOT PLAYING my friend. - He made some serios wheel & deal. Kinda like this , this is how it’s gonna be OR - -got to love it, I’m so glad we have a Coach that is so serious and committed to the KU program and getting this dam thing turned around - -which he is well on his way.
Example : Lance has a termination of contract which States. If meaningful & substantial hasn’t been made towards renovation of Anderson complex – Lance can’t terminate contract without penalty by July 1st of 2023 - – & /if ////meaniful & Substantial hasn’t been made of renovations or construction to the stadium by December 15th -2023 then Lance can terminate the contract without penalty.
This guy isn’t playing and you got to love it. Lance knows in order to get better talented recruits more athletic this is all part of the process that HAS to be made. -Lance has me so stoked about the way our Football is headed - -Love it

Worth every penny, good to see that KU is behind Coach and willing to pay the man

They have to improve the facilities asap. It’s sad that it has to take a coach putting in his contract he’ll leave if they don’t improve the dang stadium. We’re Kansas- we’re not Ft Hays St.

What I’ve argued for years on different sites. Facility improvements are something that need to be proactive, not reactive. We saw a spike in recruiting a few years back when KU upgraded the locker rooms despite still being a mess on the field. With a quality staff and better team, having upgraded facilities will go a long way in keeping KU consistently of the basement for a long time.
It will also give KU the best shot at staying in a P5 league in the future.
