Thank you Head Coach Bill Self, not for getting KU hundreds of wins on your way to 600, but for changing the lives of so many young men across literally the whole world. Jamari Traylor was once homeless living in car, Bmac was stuck in a low income house hold sleeping in the same room as all of his siblings to stay warm. Cole Aldrich’s dad was laid off and not able to support his family anymore. Joel Embiid was just a tall dude from half way around the world trying to make a name for himself to get out poverty. Just a few examples of many while Self is a great coach, Congratulations 600.

I wasn’t able to watch the first half of yesterdays contest. It was my wife’s birthday so we went out for lunch. With that I listened to the pregame and most of the first half via radio. During the pregame they interviewed Zenger our athletics director. He told a story about Frank. It was last year during the first 0-12 season in KU FB history, the Hawks were being handled by KSU late in the second half. Mason was still sitting out in the freezing drizzle lonesome to support his university and stayed til the final seconds ticked off the clock. Character, not that we have questioned Frank’s, I just thought it was neat story about our PG and his loyalty.

Not sure if anyone has heard but after a long battle with cancer KJ lost him mom today. Prayers for the Adams family. Not really any thing else to say other than she raised a terrific young man.

With a loss tonight Scott Drew will have more losses in AFH than Bill Self.

In all honesty it’s a little ludicrous that we as fans (myself included at times) are giving these guys such a tough time. We just won our 20th game for the 29th season in a row (NCAA record). We are pretty much guaranteed another tournament birth for the 29th straight year (NCAA record). Even if we don’t win the conference I think we’ll be okay friends. Did I mention that Self has signed the 3rd best recruiting class and could add to it with Langford plus our transfers. Let’s all get to the field house Saturday and support the heck outta these guys. It will be a special day with the 08 team as well as game day in town.

Kansas was at home for the final time this year celebrating senior day vs Texas. Texas started early scoring a TD on their play from scrimmage on a 75 pass. The defense put the clamps on after that as Senior Brandon Stewart got a pick 6 to start KU scoring. They Created 4 turnovers in the second quarter, but only lead to 10 points on the board, so KU held a 10-7 lead going into the locker room. The second half started bad as Stanley thru a pick just 3 plays in that lead to a short field and easy score for Texas to take the lead 14-10. We pretty much traded punts til the fourth quarter until a costly fumble bye Quv at mid field after a 19 yard catch that left texas again with a short field and a TD. It was was half way thru the 4th when the offense which had struggled all game and being down 21-10 finally showed up. Hiebert dived into the endzone on a 80 yard drive engineered by Stanley, then steven sims ran in a 2 point conversion to put KU back to with in 3, 21-18. The Kansas defense once again came up huge with 58 seconds left stopping Texas on a 4th and 5, and man this defense played unbelievable most of the day 6 turnovers, 4 sacks and 8 TFLs. The offense worked its magic as Stanley started the drive off with a 21 yard scrabble, aided by a Texas late hit. Matt Wyman tied the game with 7 seconds to go on a 35 yard FG. Then came overtime with Kansas winning the toss and going on defense first. A bright young freshman DB Mike Lee intercepted Texas to end their possession. With Kansas knowing they needed only 3 to win Senior RB Kinner held on to the ball and took us to the 3. A false start moved us back to the 8 but it didn’t matter nor did the attempt to ice Wyman bye the Texas staff, his kick sailed thru the up rights and WE BEAT TEXAS for the first time in 78 years. Just unbelievable guys, other than winning the orange bowl and NC in 08 idk if I have ever teared up after a game and seeing coach Beaty’s emotion after the game, it just moved me on how hard these guys are trying to win. A wise man once told me that sometimes the team that loses works a lot harder than the team that wins and I think that’s been the case for much of this year. I’m really speech less on how proud I am of these young men that flatout play their asses off every stinkin week, I love the fight they have, proud to be a KU Football fan. RCJH.

Kansas wins on Monday and Thursday with Trae announcing he’s a Jayhawk.

Well the sun came this morning friends. Which means it’s time to move on from this one. I just have goal for this team moving forward, let’s just make the tournament. I think that’s the only achievement they are capable of making.

My faith in Self is not at Zero anymore, meaning it is negative.

Allen Fieldhouse Magic is dead RIP 1955-2022 it was once the greatest place in the world.

@MoonwalkMafia right that’s the problem with losing in that manor, it erodes any potential positives away. It stinks to hear how we wouldn’t win crap outside of the B12 for years and it’s proven to be true since expanding the conference. We don’t even have regular season supremacy to hang our hats on. We have nothing during basketball season anymore. Do you think this team can win a national title? I think I have a better shot at winning the lottery and I don’t play it.

@nuleafjhawk you are probably the smartest out of all of us pretty sure this year of Kansas athletics has shaved a decade off of my life.

I honestly hope future NIL agreements are more so performance base. Imagine Zeke and Juan having to pay the university money they stole after tonight’s performances lol

@Jhawk69 very true I should get off of here. I’ll add one last jab. You can’t call out your fan base like he did and then get out coached that bad twice at the end of the game.

@TYOHawk yep I’m trying to decide if I want to watch this team again not only this season but as long as self is here. Clearly changes need to happen at the top back to back preseason #1 teams without conference titles and first weekend exits. Unacceptable for our program and Goff has to hold him accountable.

@approxinfinity - we have our answer already per postgame

Self: If people think this is the frickin end of the season, it’s not at all. We played right with maybe the best team in America tonight without one of our starters.

Flory was the best player on the court and has been outstanding since he got starter minutes. But since he isn’t 25 or in the circle of trust he has to go to the bench lmao.

This my worry KJ comes back and Flory goes back to playing 11 minutes a game while KJ a plays 30. Id be shocked if it doesn’t happen with how mentality disabled Self seems to be the last few years.

Anyone have know where to find selfs postgame. Curious to what BS he has to say this time

Unless he has the balls to say he should’ve been smart enough to have made one else throw it in and a 6th year guy should be able to make FTs at the end games. I ain’t interested in hearing it.
