Talk about Non KU games of interest. I'll start it off with the best score of the first week. SDState 68. Kansas St 66!
-
Iowa State also lost. Things we love to see.
-
@BShark The caliber of opponents was a bit different.
-
Yes. Losing to a Summit League team should basically never happen.
-
Is this team the one we have been waiting for? We can hit the boards with TKR, Dawes and TS. We can fast break. We can turn it over and shoot 55% from the FT line. We can defend one on one and we have the big guards to do it with. We might get able to defend the three ball better. It seems we have several scorers including Mister Blyden Jr., Trey White and Tryan Stokes. Looks like we may be playing eight deep for some time. Blyden Jr, and Trey White have nice looking strokes and Stokes stroke looks pretty good too. We can be more than just pretty good but what superlative to use is to be seen. After about 6 or 7 games how good do we have to be to keep me from feeling disappointed even in a win? Our bigs have come across as they could be nasty as the game gets more physical. I hope Dawes keeps being aggressive on offense even though he missed six straight point blank shots at the end of the Louisville into the first part of the Fordham game. Having a team that shoots 55% from the field which may be attainable is a throw back to several years ago. TTU and ISU may not be great and neither have Zona, BYU and Houston looked scary yet. I feel like a media type who makes risky takes and hopes some of them stick.

Try putting this one on the season predictions thread!
-
A little late but misery lost to SLU.
-
Illinois goes to Texas Tech tonight and was down 20, but coming back. Illinois is missing a couple of guys. Kudos to the Illini for going to a true road game at a ranked opponent. KU doesn't do that! Most other teams don't either.
-
To keep it close for TV viewers refs were required to reward Duke with 37 FTs compared to MSU's 28. Didn't work as the Spartans led coast to coast.
-
We play at Uconn soon.
-
Eh, Kansas schedules a lot of tough games. Certainly not taking the ISU/Baylor approach.
-
I like our schedule, we also played two top 20 teams exhibition. Playing the likes of Kentucky, Villanova, UConn and Ohio State is a solid non conference slate IMO.

I’m just flipping thru channels laying in bed…. How in the world doesn’t anyone go to west coast schools? You have number 21 USC at Cal going on right now and it literally looks like there is about 300 people in attendance. Ik a lot of it is NIL money to the highest bidder but my gosh the local 1A high school in the middle of nowhere Kansas gets more people on the average game night.

Been to a few Cal games out here in the Bay Area. Attendance is not great. In fact i saw the Jayhawks play at Cal back in what, 2010? victory.
Just guessing here without fact to back it up, but my guess is that there are a couple of handfuls of schools that get solid attendance. KU has spoiled us.

@rockchalkjayhawk USA Today reported that college football attendance is down 9% across the board from last season and 15% from 3 years ago. I think the price is a lot of the problem in today’s economy. I remember getting GA tickets to AFH for conference games for $50 a pop 10 years ago and paying $10 for KU football tickets. To me it is obvious if you can’t sell out your prices are too high. Especially in Lawrence a city with over 90k people living it add in Topeka and KC within spitting distance. Right now they are starting to price out average fans across the sports world. Have 5 or 6 different subscriptions to watch sports. I called this a few years back when the espn plus started taking over. Heck I’ve pretty much completely stopped watch the royals. I refuse to buy more TV packages. I have espn plus and sling TV. If it’s not on those, I don’t watch.

Speaking of high priced tickets … I decided to not buy tickets to the Players 8 tournament in Vegas next week. I would have spent $400 for tickets to just two KU games for lower bowl seats. Too much!
-
@BeddieKU23 OOPS!!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk ya I don’t blame you, my kids are asking if we are going back to AFH this season and I’ve told I’m not sure it’s in our budget unfortunately.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I was going to attend the Kentucky game. Usually my stubhub strategy is wait til game time and they nose dive in price. But i think Stubhub has somehow prevented that and the price just went up and up. At 6 PM they were around 120 for nosebleeds. So I stayed home!
-
Not attending the KU game despite living in LV now. Moving was about twice the cost we expected. Easier to follow all these new Jayhawks on TV anyway!
