Beat Silo Tech! Lets save this football season!
-
When I started typing that the auto fill finished it for me. I’d typed the same headline I was thinking of using for today last basketball season, so I added the word football so no one was confused about what sport I was talking about!
Speaking of confused, I’m still confused about what to feel about this football team. As an alum I should care about every sport from hoops on down to cattle judging. (Oh congrats KState for your championship in that premiere sport.) But they’ve given me really only one team to cheer for since I first free soloed Mt. Oread in 1985. Basketball.
Football has been with two exceptions been the very ugly stepchild of one of the kings of the sports teams in our hoops team. So Lance wanted to make sure people wouldn’t call him Sir Lance Lose Alot and won some games. Got us excited. And in the truest of fashions for our grid program turned the potentially most exciting season in the schools history into a huge bunch of weekly what ifs.
- What if grimes calls more run plays instead of inaccurate Daniels throwing? Same game what if UI hadn’t been permitted to fumble the ball into the end zone and recover it there on a punt and have it ruled a touchback instead of a safety?- What if 6 KU defenders just fall on an UNLV fumble instead of just falling on it?
- What if we don’t blow a 11 point lead in last 3 minutes against WVU?
- What if we beat Az State? I forget what we did wrong to lose that one, but it certainly must have been something!
- What if we don’t combine some shoddy defense and referees also make some shoddy calls against TCU?
Wow, that’s a lot of what ifs! We’re undefeated if all of those go our way? Been part of my confusion. I still think this is a talented team. I think we can win tonight on the talent part, but afraid I’m going to add to the what if list instead and lose like last year to them when someone missed a clearcut pick 6 that my 10 year old self could have caught and ran back for a game sealing play.
If a bowl game bid is on the line I think tonight is must win because Lindenwood is not the right classification team to count wins against. I might be wrong. If we can count it then slightly less importance tonight but have to win out the rest of the way.
Glad I can see it on my new youtubetv subscription. I might need to utilize the nifty 2-4 games at once feature they have and watch the UW game against St. Pen too, and then add the world series to it. In a perfect world one game would be at 11, the next at 2:30 and the WS at 7 and I could spend all day ignoring the yard work and the clogged drain and stupid lesson plans for next week.
RCJHKU!!

@wissox – think it could get ugly. One I think Giddens run all over us, between him and Edwards and then little Johnson for laughs and giggles. --I think they put the clamps on Devin, their run defense is pretty stout. That’s a bad combination, could be wrong, been wrong plenty of times before - - -fingers crossed. If we could slow their run I think I would take our chances against Johnson having to throw more, thing is chances are he will Nickel and dime us to death - -methodically down the field and score.
Looking more like one of those like 48-- -30 type of games, - -giving up yet another muffed punt from us- - dropping a clear pick 6- -that’s the way it’s gone the past couple of years- - -If we hold onto that easy pick six- - -BALLGAME, IF JB Brown and & Whithers have solid game Maybe, Maybe make it a ball game.
K /State podcast said they think it will be whoever can control line of scrimmage both offense & defense and they said they thought K/State would do that -plus bing at Piggyville that doesn’t help
-
@wissox you get one game against FCS that count toward your 6. Now if you schedule 2 you have to win 7 games KSU did this in Snyders first year back. I’m pretty much in agreement with you. This team has a lot of talent, several guys will play on Sunday. We need to get to 2-0 on the new season.
-
@kjayhawks Thanks. So not a must win, although it basically is anyways.
-
Kind of new to youtubetv. Does anyone know how to use multiview? Trying to put our game and UW on it and it won’t let me.
-
OH no, is Neal hurt?
-
️
🫶
-
Yes! What a run by Morrison!!
-
Oh snap. Dont stop …. Believin!!
-
That was some power running
-
As good of a start as you could ask for besides Neal getting nicked up. Hopefully he is able to return what a way to step up by Morrison who is a solid back just has two great ones ahead of him.
-
Avery Johnsons hair is too luxurious to be Pert Plus, thats like Pert Plus 2 in 1.
-
We have to force them to pass the football
-
Gotta get Neal going.

There we go, with the facemask add on
-
Holy drops that was bad.
-
Huge drop
-
If we lose that drop will play a big factor, huge moment there we missed.
-
Skinner got to make that catch
-
@AsadZ yes as a senior in a rivalry game
-
Really nice job through 1. Keep it up hawks. And get Q some stick em
-
Huge 3rd and long to start the 2nd quarter
-
My god give up a 3rd and 10’ on the ground
-
The guy spun around wtf can he do???
-
Really dumb to commit a foul right there.
-
Wow didn’t see that reverse coming.
-
@wissox he definitely didn’t lead with the crown they hit face masks
-

I was waving the wheat. Assumed he caught it and then let go just a little early to celebrate!
-
I’m already lamenting Q’s drop
-
@FarmerJayhawk I did too, would’ve had that place silenced
-
Wheeler just doesn’t have the speed in coverage
-
Zero pass rush. Thats going to be a problem
-
This is where we throw a pick and fall apart usually
-
I’m so frustrated with this gave this game away last season and seem to be doing same again
-
Jesus Christ
-
Holy shit thats about the worst special teams play i have ever seen if it gets reversed.
-
Let it stand it’s fine
-
I never do!
-
If you have to look for 10 minutes that’s not reversible. Put a time limit
-
Why did he try to catch it? No harm if he lets it go, right?
-
@wissox yep total brain fart
-
Just…. Wow, guy.
Got some fixin to do.
-
Well it was close for a QTR and. Half
-
Nope, No fixin.
-
That’s game boys
-
We make the wildest mistakes in this game every year. It’s incredible
-
@FarmerJayhawk wild. Thats a kind word.
-
Why is 29 back on the field?
-
@kjayhawks damage done, right?
-
We are making mistakes this season that well coached just don’t make. I like LL but dam
