Kansas-BYOB (bring your own bibles)
-
Kind of an odd feeling going into this one. We’re in a must win mode. Why must we win? For bowl eligibility. That’s really it. We’d like to play one more game in the last week of 2024 even if it’s in the irrelevant bowl. Because it’d represent a fairly remarkable turnaround from the horrendous 1-5 start. Two seasons ago we start 5-0 if memory serves correct, Jayden goes down and Bean didn’t have the magic he showed last year. A win today, and of course the next two weeks would make a 4-0 finish and a completely different way to become bowl eligible.
There’s no use in playing ‘what could have been’ because it’s over. Future starts today and so I’m excited for this matchup. Why am I excited?
Another chance to watch these dynamic offensive stars we have.
Another chance to watch Cobee and Mello.
Another chance to beat BYU and their relatively suspect 9-0 record. Knocking them out of the unbeaten ranks would be a really cool thing to do.
So it’s gonna be a late night. Who’s staying up? I am. Maybe the only one, but I’ll be here.
-
@wissox – I’ll be up also. - -BYU has been living on a wing and a prayer - -borrowed time, some fortunate breaks, - -times up.- As long as Jalen doesn’t try to play Superman, just control ; the game - -work the ball down field play to his capabilities I think we have an excellent chance. - -I know BYU is like they said 331-4 in their Stadium I think at night- -I still feel good and say we win this-- calling it 34-28 KU
-
I’m planning on staying up, we’ll see how late I make it. The other thing with making a low level bowl game this year is that would likely provide a lot of younger players a bunch of first team reps because I could of KU’s seniors, especially ones with NFL potential like Neal, Dotson, Bryant, Grimm, etc. opting out of that bowl game. It could in theory give KU a head start on spring practice.
-
I’m pacific time, so I will be watching this one.
It’s not impossible for us to win. If we did, it would have reverberations through the playoff bracket… Probably would hurt the B12. I don’t expect the refs to do us any favors tonight.

My son lives in Salt Lake City, said snow fell today for the first time, so this may be a cold or even snowy one?

Yeah, 38 degrees in Provo right now. Brrrrr
-
Nothing is worse than waiting on KState to finish so our game can start.
-
I feel good about this one
-
What a weird play
-
OK, let’s go. Wish I’d seen the beginning but apparently ESPN games aren’t also on ESPN+? IDK.

Espnews

Is ksu over? We back on espn?

Bam, moving on down the field.

Wow, nice start Jayhawks
-
Great first drive
-
I always thought of BYU as a midmajor, kind of an upper echelon mid major, but mid nonetheless. I still do but here they are in our league.
-
@wissox as my sister likes to say, the Big 12: mediocrity in bulk!
-
Nice stop!
-
They’re ranked 6 or 7?
-
6th ranked
-
Oh shoot, get up Arnold
-
Ball was behind him
-
This weather will favor whomever can run the football, I think we can
-
Did they paint this field 30 minutes ago?
-
LA is my fav. receiver
-
@wissox byu has produced some great QBs
-
@DanR True including the only SuperBowl winning QB in Chicago history!
-
Our special teams have been pure garbage for decades

I think that speaks to the quality of depth typically more than anything right?

Yeah it wasn’t good when we had a bunch of walk ons on the coverage units. Those boys were not fast
-
@Kcmatt7 it definitely does, idk what we average for punts but I bet it’s around 35 yards which is crap.
-
What are we all drinking to get through the late nighter? I got a Free State 12 pack on sale and am greatly enjoying an Ad Astra at the moment

Greaves averages 43
-
@FarmerJayhawk same thing. Mixed 12. That seasonal dank ipa isn’t my favorite but storm chaser is cleansing my palette
-
@DanR ooo always a classic

Sweet almond green tea from Hteao

Spectacular setting there in Provo, was there this time of year last year. Wish this was a day game so we could see the hills, not to mention going to bed at a normal time.

Missing tackles

Oh yea we’ve struggled to find decent kickers/punters for sure.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 yum!
-
Won the first quarter!
-
I thought we was the better rushing team
-
Me, about to do a decaf kurig. I did have a margarita earlier tonight.

We may be the better rushing team, but the worse rush defense.
