We don’t beat K-State in football

K-State is not a winnable game. TTU isn’t either. Other than that, I think we’ve got a chance against everyone we play.

Very bad effort on defense. This Jaguars offense has not been great this year, and they walked all over us for three quarters

Can Adkins shoot, drive, handle the ball, and defend the perimeter like Releford or Svi? Because if not I don’t think those are relevant comparisons.

Travis Releford was a guard. If Adkins is anything like Perry Ellis or Darnell Jackson, I am happy.

How good at offense is Davion Adkins?

Lance won a close game. It is time to call off the hot-seat dogs for now.

The outcome of this game is already decided. Our only chance was to blow them out, and that hasn’t happened.

The refs tried really hard to give that game to KSU. Called a phantom PI to move them closer to field goal range. Baylor defeats K-State and the refs with that block

At halftime the ISU defense actually made adjustments and has not allowed Cincy to score since. If only we could do that for just 2 minutes

The winning teams are doing a few different things:

1. Finding the right guys in high school and not over relying on the portal. This is not always one and dones, but players who don’t jump ship in the portal and can develop.

2. Finding portal players who are not just one year loans, but have 2-3 years of eligibility remaining and are able to stick around and develop. (Florida won a title with players like this).

3. Using one year loans from the portal to plug roster gaps.

Here’s hoping for a speedy recovery and a good basketball career afterwards

@approxinfinity I am not saying you or anyone specific is like that. But there are a lot fans who is asked point blank if they can assess players as well as Self will say “of course not”, but then turn around and say “Bill Self is playing his pet too many minutes! If only he could assess his pet’s worth to the team as well as I can!”

Self does not have a tendency to play personal favorites. He has a tendency to play the best players on the team. That myth exists as a result of fans who think that they can assess players better than a hall of fame coach.

Of course. The issue is that Flory is an undersized center who cannot shoot, which I think limits his NBA stock.

Do you think he is going to the NBA or transferring?

Recruiting Adkins is interesting. Flory, Tiller, and Mbiya are all bigs who could return next season and relegate Adkins to the bench.

For anyone wanting to watch

Kicking is so mental. You have to know the mechanics of course, but other than that it is 100% mental. Harrison doesn’t have whatever mojo he needs but once he gets a good kicking game or two in he’ll turn it around

Word on the street is that Trent Perry and Davion Adkins have both committed. Is this confirmed?

The good news: we took care of business. The bad news: Jacksonville is no pushover.

What kind of game does TK have? Is there any risk that he will care more about his social media and his brand than the team’s success while here?

LL instills the mindset that causes us to fumble twice in a row on the goal line, have otherwise great receivers drop passes on critical 3rd downs, and give up every single 4th down conversion attempt on the season. Additionally, he is directly responsible for bad clock management and bad punting decisions.

I have read enough internet posts to know that the fans understand what it takes to make a good basketball team more than coach Self does.

@Crimsonorblue22 The fumble was LL’s fault. Had one goal line fumble happened, okay, maybe its bad luck. But the fact that we fumbled a bad snap, then got lucky that a penalty nullified the play, and then proceeded to fumble again is proof that our team was bound and determined to turn the ball over. A team-wide determination to lose is on the coach.

@dylans No, people are mad because we are 2-16 in one score games during the Leipold era, which is unacceptable regardless of expectations.

I will save you guys the trouble of watching the rest of the season. Here is what will happen. We will beat UCF. We will then get blown out by Texas Tech. We will outplay and outgain K-State but find a way to lose in the 4th quarter. We will blow out Oklahoma State. We will lose a close game against Arizona. Then we will lose another close game against Iowa State. Then we will lose to Utah. Our final record will be 5-7.

@kjayhawks So much worse than getting beat by 40. So, so much worse.

The problem with the defense is not that they are incapable, its that they have absolutely no toughness. In any given crucial 4th down its a guaranteed conversion. That is on Lance more than on DK.

Then we are most likely doomed to several years of 4-8 records (composed of 4 blowout wins, 2 blowout losses, and 6 4th quarter choke job losses) until Lance retires.

@FarmerJayhawk That’s why I am in favor of allowing him to prove he can win a close game this season. If he can do so, maybe there is a chance we can get back to getting meaningful wins and good seasons. But if not, we can conclude that the golden years of the Leipold era are in the rear-view and that we will never win a game against an opponent that is not overmatched by us (WVU, Fresno State etc) until we have a new coach.

If our close games resulted in the occasional win you would be right. But losing every single time is unacceptable beyond words

If you’re going to lose anyways you might as well get it over with early than waste the fans time pretending you’re in it to win it.

KU athletics just got a huge donation

My two cents, he has to win a close game at some point this season, otherwise he needs to be fired. I don’t care if we go back to going 1-11 every year, that isn’t so much worse than losing every single close game you play.

No love for Coco smh

The Ravens just allowed the Lions to run roughshod all over them and allowed Lamar to take 7 sacks. If we can run the ball well and get some pressure I like our chances. If we fail to do either of those I think Baltimore blows us out.

Ultimately Disney and ABC are businesses and care much, much more about money than they do political agendas.

Mahomes has been playing all season with a weird mix of classic Mahomes great plays and awful mistakes. He, along with the rest of the team, needs to clean up on the self-inflicted wounds.

The defense was great. The Giants lead the NFL in passing offense and we completely shut them down.

I am a genius for drafting Scattebo onto my fantasy team. I started him and he helped me win this week.

Does anyone know the line for the Cincinnati game?

Go Gamecocks!

It is concerning that Ballard is still the second QB. We need to be playing Marshall instead

The Badgers have tolerated outdated, predictable, and unproductive offenses for as long as I can remember.

@kjayhawks You bring up some good points and this is nothing new. For many years both sides of the political spectrum have been censoring the other and then turning around and complaining when the other side censors. It would be nice if more people called out both parties but unfortunately people will just continue to criticize the other party’s censorship while ignoring that of their own.

Last year I was 100% sure we would lose. Even when we were up 11 with 5 minutes left I had no doubt we would give up a quick touchdown, go three and out, and then give up another score. This year I would give us about a 45% chance of winning, a significant jump from the 0 we had last year. We are favorites and definitely could blow WVU out, but I think we will shoot outselves in the foot with drops, fumbles, and miscommunications on defense enough to allow WVU to stay in the game. Then in the 4th quarter I think WVU shows more testicular fortitude (some) than us (none) and takes a surprise win.

Converseley, if we are winning by double digits in the 4th quarter I think we can drain the clock just well enough to escape.

The data centers that store the information banks AI accesses are huge and use up a lot of energy.

What irks me about this is the double-standard being set by Disney. Sure, it is irresponsible of Kimmel to use his platform to lie about the political views of the suspect. However, if Disney really cared that much about people with public followings being truthful and responsible, they would have fired all the FOX News anchors who lied about the 2020 election being stolen as well.

Aldrich definitely deserves a shoutout but I wouldn’t include him simply because he was the 8th or 9th man that season. But it honestly speaks volumes about how good (and underrated) Arthur, D-Block, and Kaun were that they were able to keep Aldrich buried on our depth chart that season.

That first missed TD to Thornton is one that Mahomes needs to connect on 9 times out of 10. I think that he is so focused on bringing the deep ball back to the offense that he psyches himself out whenever he actually throws one, which reduces his accuracy.

If you were to ask AI whether Thomas Robinson or Christian Moody was a better player for us, it would, without a doubt, be able to tell you that Thomas Robinson is better and could explain why. However, if you asked it something that requires more nuance, like asking whether Darrell Arthur or Perry Ellis was better, it would most likely refuse to answer and would make the case for both.
