Previewing the 2026 season
-
Welp, its gameday. Not only is this the start of the football season, but its the start of KU sports season as most fans see it (starting with college football kicking off and usually ending when KU loses or wins a title in March Madness, sometimes extending to the end of baseball season). Time for the highs and lows to begin!

With stadium seating limited to 32,000, I sure hope Friday's game is a sell out.
I hope it’s full but being a holiday weekend and 98 degrees weather will see
-
Maybe maybe half full
-
Not getting go vibes getting dominated at the line of scrimmage on offense by mid pack FCS team
-
Wahoo 6-0 silly to go for two but okay
-
From what I've seen so far - not impressed
-
@nuleafjhawk defense has been okay but we simply can’t not run up the middle against these guys. Opened up a bit on the outside but our center and guards are getting beat nearly every play.
-
We need better conditioning
-
Harris is going to be a problem for a lot of opposing offenses.
-
My criticism worked again! It always lights a fire under their butts.

Overall I’m pleased with the way the game went, definitely worried about getting destroyed by Mizzou in a week. I thought Marshall settled in pretty good but we know he will have growing pains no question. I think the defense rallied to the ball well and as mentioned above Harris is gonna be a guy other teams will have to account for. I am concerned about the lack of speed on the defensive side and how our guards and center go beat pretty consistently. Marshall maybe running for his life much of the rest of the season.

@kjayhawks2.0 Muck Fizzou
Good guys 38
Pond scum 20 -
@nuleafjhawk I’d be very happy with that outcome but still standing behind my two win prediction til I see other wise. Fizzou just seems to be much much better up front on both sides than us. That’s where the games are usually won.

Started slow and finished strong as expected yesterday. Nice to see a KU team be physical and dominate.
I don’t know the team well enough yet to pick out many guys by name, but a few stood out for sure. That quick defensive lineman and the WR who had a few very nice catches.
Marshall’s arm seemed a bit better than I expected. He does seem to throw a high ball though.
Also liked that we use multiple RBs. Keep em fresh and healthy!
And the stadium looked great! Minor complaint: they showed some renderings during the game of future construction. I don’t like the way the upcoming hotels, buildings and whatnot would tower over the stadium. Not a good look. Let the stadium shine unobstructed.
-
Marshall can run and he can throw the deep ball. Time will tell if he can do other stuff
-
@rockchalkjayhawk A little late for that!

Okie lite
not sure why everyone was so high on a team that won one game last season. -
@kjayhawks2.0 Because they brought in a very successful coach . . . and his highly rated QB . . . and a bunch of players from North Texas.
