@Gorilla72 Dang! Go Diggy!

We were better than I expected. I don’t think I’m alone given the way the sports pundits are talking.

TBH, the MSU / UK game had the score I feared would be ours.

Prediction: Duke gets out to a 13-7 lead pretty quickly… like, around the under-16 TV timeout. That’s as close as it gets.

IMHO, Pacheco’s absence is significant. It limits the running game which in turn affects the passing game.

@dylans said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

What I have leaned is fans are terrible at these decisions

If this is true, then there’s a pretty good chance we are all wrong.

I’m assuming all of us are KU fans…

Right or wrong, google says “The average age for a Division I men’s basketball head coach was 50 in 2023”

Good grief. Can’t help but wonder if NIL contracts tied payments to games played there would be a little more care given to warm up without injury and play through things.

Don’t watch the last 5 minutes. Sheesh.

Starting to look like the only one who can stop Bidunga is Bidunga.

Tre White getting his groove today.

Man, when you can play like that you GOTTA play like that ALL the time.

Where has Bidunga been?

Nice to finally get a Flory Flurry!

This is a team that will make you earn your points in the half court. We don’t know how to do that yet.

@BeddieKU23 Today he looks like he’s not focused.

Effort guys. Effort.

Epilogue: That RB on my son’s team mentioned above went to Sacramento State, turned into a wide receiver and transferred to San Jose St. over the summer?

Danny Scudero.

2025 Stats to date: 68 receptions for 1,126 YDS, 10 TDs. Avg 16.6 Currently #1 in the NCAA. Sophomore.

No, it’s not P4. Yeah, he’s 5’ 9" 174lbs. But man do I wish KU would recruit beyond the usual suspects sometimes.

How does one build an app that gets shittier every year? Amazing.

^^ A book that explains it. In many cases, its not an accident; it’s a strategy… or at least the byproduct of a strategy.

The team is far from surgical at this point. Often looks like 5 guys rather than a unit. Athleticism is there, so here’s hoping Self can coach them up and they keep their heads up going through the journey.

Elmarko was a question mark, but I think he went a ways toward wiping the questions away. He seems to be fully recovered. Made some positive contributions.

In general, the team seemed to take this exhibition pretty seriously.

The athleticism and, yes, the speed, is a welcome return.

Outscored 42-10 by a .500 team since that time.

I remember being excited about this game. It was the first two minutes of the game. That was it.

We could win 25 of the next 30 years and it would not make up for this streak. It’s unconscionable at this point.

That screen play was the first play I’ve seen that was executed as designed

I’m now re-reading this thread as I need an antidote to my football depression.

This is an inexcusable performance.

This is a mediocre KState game. At best.

Unbelievable.

This is the end of the Jalen Daniels era.

Abysmal

@wissox Understatement.

Strong run by Hishaw. Whew. Let’s see if we can stop them for 30 seconds

@dylans Sorry-- what I was saying is negative 3. As in Zero and then you can go back three more years of losses. My son is a sophomore. He was 3 years old the last time KU beat KState in football. (He doesn’t remember it.)

He’s definitely in his own head too deep.

I mean, we had two weeks to prepare. This is the best we could come up with?

Would be nice to get first down by someone other than JD scrambling.

Screen with no blockers. ???

It’s a long game. Plenty of opportunities left to right the ship. But we can’t let the lead grow and the staff better get a revised plan for the second half. Otherwise this is just the 17th chapter.

Yes… It’s raining. On both teams.

Second half was not the way to judge that game.

SMH

@BShark And that one too.

@approxinfinity That thought also crossed my mind.

@wissox That thought definitely crossed my mind.

Can’t recall the last time JD threw the ball away when the play was busted.

@rockchalkjayhawk Dark humor.

@rockchalkjayhawk Depends on what you look at.

Record: KU is 4-3; KSU is 3-4.

Recent $$ spent on program: KU > KSU

History: K-State has won 16 years in a row.

One team used their bye week better than the other one.

@stoptheflop I agree. The way I think about our competitiveness is how many wins have we had against a team since the freshmen arriving on campus were in Kindergarten. (That’s since 2012 as of now. And right now, KU vs K-State = -3 wins)

Affiliates can choose to show whatever they want in the time slot.

ABC, however, has more distribution channels than just the affiliates. So they can continue to produce the show and make it available to other affiliates as well as on streaming (Hulu/Disney+) and YouTube etc and continue to generate revenue from it.

I may not have this right but I think the way it works is that a show like Kimmel’s comes with national advertising revenue that is shared with affiliates when they air it. So Sinclair is choosing to decline that rev-share. It’s probably a relatively small amount.

This was a good win and the best part was that it was not Jalen’s best game and still a dominant performance. We also bucked the trend of the final-two-minutes-scourge.
