Kentucky is 5-1. It’s not like they are going full Arizona. They are the kind of team that will junk you up, I wouldn’t expect them to be on too many blowouts either way tbh.

@wrwlumpy Living in Austin I was at the game last year (and every game played here in the last 10 years) when there were a good many KU fans and that helped in their comeback. We were louder than UT fans at times. I see the same thing happening this year if not more fans. UT has had dismal showing of fans (until Mich. State). They are advertising $5 tickets for their game next Monday, which is also the Alamo Bowl with UT/Oregon. The thing about UT is that Barnes is not really a game day coach and ALWAYS subs out the one or two guys that are doing something to put in his pet - this year that pet is Javan Felix. We have the bench this year to get past a lot of those that get themselves in foul trouble.

Agreed, I appreciate the kids talent, and games like this are giving a little school some sunshine. I’m okay with that. Maybe that’s how some programs get exposure. Zero d and run and gun. However, and asterisk would be nice-these games are not apples to apples with most ncaa play.

@aproxinfinity Thanks for reminding me that watching Sesame Street was one of my favorite parts of having kids.

Man, your guess is as good as mine. That sounds plausible though. But, if they have been playing with contact in highschool for 4 years then they could have just as much trouble adjusting as the other guys. At KU, I think it will depend on something like whoever can slide the fastest with out drawing contact and keep their man in front of them will adjust quicker, drawing less fouls. But I’m not certain. Variation among states? Same thing. I’ve no idea. I bet the refs will have a bunch of variation early.

Dexter has been one of the bright spots on defense… Man, I would love for everyone to be back healthy in a game or two, and in the meantime with the coaching position-group focus and further continued reps (including even the reps in the live games we lost/lose)…that the team comes together to win a game or two at the end of the season. Building some momentum going into next season, when some additional guys come off redshirt and we can set expectations higher (as we should next year). While the expectations may need to be realistic facing the current situation, they have got to keep rising to keep players and coaches working at the fixes. It will happen, just not as soon as we all hoped. But I fully support the KU football players struggling right now: look, some of them are actually hurt & sidelined with pain–>Im not about to bag on their team and “kick em when they’re down”… And you know Heeney and Pierson have put it all out there 100% trying to help their team. So even if we lose more, I SEE the effort, and applaud these kids fighting for us. I know they deserve a W soon, so hopefully a complete game earns them a W soon…

Hey, NodeBB developer here. The reason why it’s “favourite” is only because we are based out of Toronto, Canada. Old habits die hard, I guess. At some point, we’ll create a “UK/Canadian English” language pack, and we’d remove the “english-isms” out of the default text, just to appease our friendly neighbours to the south.
