Basketball Season
-
Has officially begun. Never heard of football. Lance who? No idea.
-
@BShark Lance Stephenson? I’m still not ok with that. Bozo blew a real chance at a natty.
-
This is Kansas!
We take good coaches and turn them into laughingstocks

What good coach?
-
@dylans we’ve had several coaches that had done well in other jobs and tanked when they got here.
It’s Sunday, man. Don’t be so contrary. Go Chiefs!
-
@nuleafjhawk Who? Les Miles - out of touch old pervert. Lance Leipold? Where did he win anything of significance? Mangino was an assistant. Terry D2 Allen won at a lower level, but never had success in D1 football. Turner Gill?!? Charlie Weiss was a turd at every stop post Patriots. Clint Bowen - forgot he existed. David Beaty - woof.
-
@dylans Wow! You’re even more sour on KU football than I am.
We all thought Turner Gill was a good hire. Charlie Weis was at least a known entity when he was hired. Nobody knew anything about Les Miles - except that he had a National Championship under his belt.
Who WOULD you be excited about? Whoever it is, KU would destroy him/her.
-
@dylans Lance won 6 D3 championships. I’m just reporting the facts. You judge whether that’s significant.

Agree
-
@wissox I believe it is significant. He accomplished the biggest thing he could at the level he was. You can’t ask for more.
I think if we had last year’s OC we’d be ranked about #12 right now

1- 3 is significant.
-
If the coaches were good they would have their program established and winning by year three. That doesn’t happen at KU.
-
Writing off Lance at this point seems like an overreaction.
-
This is like listening to a bunch of whiners at a bar talking about divorcing their wives because two weeks after the wedding she burned a steak.
-
@mayjay have you been to the grocery store lately??? Do you have any idea how expensive a good steak is??

your right my friend - – - -way over reacting holy crap. that always seems to be the answer , especially here at KU.- -The guys simple answer is HELL let’s fire Coach -ya let’s That’s a big part of the problem, you want to end up deep in the depths of that HELL HOLE we were in for over a decade- --you wanna be right back n the pit again and be the kickin can start all over again
ya that’s right let’s start all over again.- - Anyone who has that train of thought doesn’t know their ass from a hole in the ground for Christs sakes Fire the Coach are you fricken Serious ? – 4 games into a Season and you wanna fire the Coach. Any one who knows anything should flipping know the progress this dam team /program has made since Lance has been here , from where we were BEFORE he got here until now.
But ya let’s fire the Coach and then when we do - - - go to Websters and look up the word continuity , because if we were to fire Coach L we sure the frick don’t have any. - -Did people think that we was going to go from the ol rotted out outhouse to Georgia in three fricken years ?- - ya ok then if you thought that then you can believe me when I tell you that I am going to be the fricken Pope tomorrow too lmao.
Do we need changes ? -hell ya ., - -Does JD have to get better ? -Hell ya , Does our OC have to get better -Hell ya- -but again it isn’t just the offensive side of the ball.- -Our defense has been sucking butter milk late in the game giving up leads -that’s on BORLAND - -THAT’S ON THE DEFENSE
This group is much better then this program was BEFORE Coach L got here – if your someone who is ready to fire the Head Coach after four games and want to be a band wagon fan then maybe your in the wrong place, maybe you need to find a different past time - Maybe you could take up knitting. Now I’m not saying by far I’m any Saint in this - Do I make fricking ridiculous remarks when I’m hot after a loss?- - sure do- -Do I make a complete ass out of myself a lot of times when we lose ? - -yep sure do, cause I’m thinking with my heart and NOT MY HEAD, - -all logic goes right out the window , then after some time when I’ve really had time to think about it I think boy- - - some fan you are. -I’m more then happy with our progress
Were never going to make ANY PROGRESS if w just keep firing Coach’s like Coach L at the drop of a hat-- -recrits look for continuity --stability in continuity not atmospheres where Coach here today - -gone tomorrow-- I mean dam come on
-
@nuleafjhawk Nah, we don’t eat steak anymore. I’ve burned too many. Luckily, my wife likes apples and peanut butter.
-
@jayballer67 I can’t speak for anyone else here, but I’m not calling for his head right now. He DOES need to get off his ass and do something about the OC. And/or the QB. We don’t NEED a Heisman Trophy QB this year. We need someone who can hand the damn ball to one of our very talented running backs. Run the ball. Run the ball. Run the ball. If Daniels is going to stay in there (for some unknown reason) - he shouldn’t attempt another pass the rest of the season.
-
Real talk Lance should not be on the hot seat at all. This thread is just about where my mental energy is being spent now. I’m excited for basketball season. I may or may not watch more KU football games this year.
-
@BShark Q - How can you tell when KU fans are excited for basketball?
A - When it’s Four games into football season.
-
Lance isn’t on the chopping block. Didn’t we just give him a trillion dollar contract? Unless he molests an underage cheerleader (doubt we have those) then he’s good for a while.
I still like him. And if this is a problem with our OC I expect him to make a change quickly. It is very clear to everyone this is not the same style offense we had last year.
-
thought this blog was about basketball? Says so in the title.
How does everyone feel about this year’s team? Where will our weak areas be?

ya it is a basketball thread , somehow e got stuck it the football crao. Your right Coach L is in NO danger , if he is then KU needs to drop the football program
-
@drgnslayr read the first post. The thread title is sarcastic.
-
-
@dylans what does this mean? Is he religious and his teammates are wild?
-
@approxinfinity It means he has one year of eligibility left next year. lol. I don’t know maybe he’s not getting paid what he thought he would - be it cash, strippers, gambling, whatever.
-
@dylans well he came from holy cross. I mean Im not saying you are wrong.
-
@dylans Too bad he didn’t decide to sit out before our game! At this point taking a win over a 2nd string QB may have been what we needed to kickstart the season.
-
@wissox that comment is borderline nuleaf-ish.
-
@nuleafjhawk I’ve always aspired to be nuleaf-ish
-
-
@approxinfinity It turns out he was promised 100k by an assistant coach and he’s getting 3k a month instead.
I would imagine that will impact future recruiting at UNLV - they don’t pay.
-
@dylans yeah we can install a couple less bathrooms next year and divert 100k his way next year right?
-
@approxinfinity I have no idea what the NIL budget is, but I imagine it’s better than UNLV. KU carries a good rep in that regard.
-
Zeke starting according to Bill. Storr or Griffen off the bench.

Probably Griffen, but a line up with Mayo, Storr, and Dickinson is giving up a lot of points. This is shaping up to be Bill Self’s worst defensive team at Kansas.
-
@Kcmatt7 Where’d you see this?
We all know who should go to the bench…
It would be bad if Griffey who started at Bama who was better than us last year comes here and goes to the bench….
-

I seen the exact same thing. They talked with Self and he said if we were to start tomorrow that Zeke would Start for sure as he has been the most consistent payer right now. - -Which leaves the last spot between Griffen & Storr

Who in the hell is Griffey ? -This is Basketball – not pro Baseball lmao
-
Ah, the bellyaching has already started and we’re still in the first week of official practices. We are SO BACK
-
@Kcmatt7 Goodman pod.
Actually upon hearing another clip from it on twitter sounds like he may have said AJ starting instead of KJ.
Juan/Zeke/Aj/Hunt
The 5th spot up for grabs.
-
All from the Bill Self summer motivational series. Stay tuned for parts 2 and 3!
And he said KJ…

No he said KJ . was talking about the team needed shooters around Hunter- - leaving the final spot between Storr & Griffen
-
I’ve listened to the podcast and that part 10 times and it sounds like AJ and he moved his mouth to pronounce AJ….but then 10 seconds later he says KJ and you can semi tell the difference but idk.
I think the 4 starters clearly include KJ and that’s who he probably meant to say
Griffey lol…autocorrect got me
Best lineup would be: Mayo, Griffen, AJ, KJ and Hunt……
-
Dang was about to upvote until you excluded Dajuan

That line up is giving up 90 points per game.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Poor ball handling as well. Thankfully we have more guards than that.
-
I’m trying to limit my defensive expectations of this team. Praying you are wrong about the 90 ppg.
