All I know about Late Night comes from this article: https://kuathletics.com/news/2025/10/17/mens-basketball-kansas-tips-off-basketball-season-with-41st-annual-late-night-in-the-phog
Anyone else who knows anything about how it went, how we looked feel free to share. Curiosity is gnawing at me.
I think the AI says that because it was the case in years past.
I don’t think there is any way to watch it without attending. Big whiff by our athletic department, as this decision will hurt our brand and our recruiting.
I hope they upload the schrimmage to youtube afterwards so I can do some ameteur scouting.
In my view, a video of someone handing a knife to someone else does nothing to disprove that the knife was thrown. Anyways, even if Leipold did lie about where the knife landed, the essence of the claim was that it was thrown, which is 100% true. Lance should not have been fined.
No. It has now been confirmed by police that a pocket knife has been found on the field.
He needs to go. Fining Leipold for truthfully stating that a pocket knife was thrown onto the field is an unacceptable form of censorship and corruption.
I believe it is not on espn+ this year. It might be on the kuathletics website but I am not sure
I agree that we need DP to be great but I wouldn’t reduce the team to one player. Flory, White, Elmarko, Rosario, Dawson, and Council will all impact how good our team is.
@dylans Hunter didn’t buy in. He just wanted money. You could tell by watching him that he didn’t take his conditioning seriously
@Texas-Hawk-10 Huh. And I always thought it was short for Ezekiel.
@nuleafjhawk Yes. I’m pretty sure I have heard Brian Hanni call him Zeke Marshall though
That is a bad sign. For next season’s sake we need to be seeing Zeke Marshall as QB2
I want us to invest heavily in an offensive line. Getting outrushed 300-10 is getting old
This is not a bad loss. Tech is very good. That said, our DC should be out a job. When Tech’s QB went down all we had to do was stop the run and we didn’t even come close
We just saw the difference between the two teams. 3rd and 1 for them is an easy pickup
I am proud of Jalon Daniels and Leshon for keeping us in the game
How mamy times do we have to fail running it up the middle on 3rd and 1 for our staff to know that it doesn’t work?
Alabama beat methzou. Roll Tide, for today
We have a Super Bowl caliber roster but we are about to be 2-4 most likely. After losing to the Lions we need to rip off at least 4-5 wins in a row
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:
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.
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).
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.
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.
