Let’s talk Illinois
-
This is not a good team that we are losing to
-
No more passes
-
Run again
-
I’m f we go 3 and out here it’s all done but the crying
-
We’re done. Time to watch Building Off The Grid.
-
Run it on 4th & 5
-
We’ll get one more shot
-
JD is an embarrassment
-
Un-Fing-believable
-
About all you can do is point and laugh at him. Guy wears a watch on a necklace with his highlights playing. Then plays like this smh welcome to the real world cupcake
-
Need a Bryant pick 6
-
Or a fumble recovery
-
@kjayhawks this is the worst he’s looked since his true freshman year
-
@Kcmatt7 if your gonna walk around like that your deserve all the hate. Just Colorado getting whipped tonight
-
Only bright side would be that this isn’t a conference game.
-
Herbstriet called it on game day. Altmeyer woild outplay JD
-
Let’s see how poorly we manage our timeouts
-
Defense is tired. JD and Grimes’s fault
-
Timeout
-
Question is do we even make a bowl
-
Losing record if we play like this
-
@webjay Time of possession is about the same.
-
Does our dumbass coach know we have THREE timeouts?
-
Timeout
-
Very poor coaching tonight all around by LL and Grimes. The new stadium is going to be great 1/4 full with a 3 win team smh. UNLV spanks us next week too book it
-
We get it back with 1 minute, likely down 6. Would still not throw it
-
Run 7 times and score
-
I’d bet a hefty amount JD throw another pick to end the game. Is that turkey or what lol
-
Can’t believe numbnutz is still in the game
-
Throw it away wasted 15 seconds
-
Game ends with a JD turnover 5 turnovers in 6 quarters smh please bench him
-
Maybe this will humble them.
-
That was worst coaching performance in CFB history, Beaty would’ve got us the W. What a bunch idiots, actually that’s an insult to idiots.
-
Will always be a Jayhawk, but this was last time I will watch a KU FB game
-
@webjay hard to watch, easily the worst feeling I’ve had as a KU since South Dakota State beat us to open the Beaty era. Maybe we will end up wish LL left to Wisconsin
-
If I’m Travis Golf, I’m meeting with coaches tomorrow and firing Jeff Grimes.
-
@kjayhawks Probably related to Frank Grimes from the Simpsons
-
Or Grimey, as his friends called him
-
@patoh3 play ballard
-
We should’ve played a decent team to start, starters only played half.
-
Daniels has never had the arm strength to throw all the deep passes Grimes wants to throw. How many of those deep throws to Skinner did he badly underthrow tonight? Our passing game needs to focus much more on the short and intermediate routes with only 2 or 3 deep shots total per game. Grimm and Arnold are good enough at those short and intermediate routes to cause secondaries lots of issues.
-
@webjay said in Let’s talk Illinois:
WTF? Run for 7, then throw it away twice?
From the bleachers, this felt like the series that lost it for us. Sure the pick 6 of course didn’t help at all, but we’d established the run, and we have 2nd and 3 and just, why?
-
Well as pumped as I was for this one, it sure fizzled. Actually we controlled it for the most part for 3 quarters. The pick 6 was the only thing that kept Illinois in it. The defense finally wore out when they learned they’d be going back out on the field in a couple of minutes. Two long scoring drives in the 4th by Ill was all she wrote.
I too walked away miffed with Grimes. Our seat angle was such that it was kind of hard to see the plays, but you’d look up on the running plays and see on the scoreboard 5-6 yards a pop, and it just seems kind of logical that running is going to be your bread and butter. And yet we seemed to get away from it.
Leipold is not a dumbass as someone mentioned.
It was a fun game to be at. Illinois fans aren’t obnoxious although after the game as idiot students ran past us down to the field we heard one irate Illinois fan mad about Bill Self leaving. Couldn’t quite tell what he was mad about, but like dude, your team just won the game.
If our DBs turn and look for the ball, maybe we stop some of their longer plays.
This is a game we should have won. Clearly.
-
I completely agree with that last sentence. Illinois is not good. This game was easily there to win for KU.
This is as bad as I’ve ever seen JD6 look.
-
Feel like everything went against us. Garbage qb play, somehow not recovering the fumbled snap or the muffed punt
-
I thought our play calling was below par, Grimes play calling was vanilla. I miss Andy K’s playbook.
-
@AsadZ Vanilla would’ve been fine if they ran the ball. Absolutely inexplicable

And Jeff Grimes play calling was ridiculous. 3rd and 2 and KU has great running backs: Grimes calls a 20 yd pass that falls short.

Ah, reminds me of the mid-70s Chiefs’ games. “Podolak into the line twice for 8 yards, pass incomplete, punt.”
-
This is why I don’t get worked up over KU football. Over a hundred years worth of history tells us they will revert to the norm - which for KU is bad.
