@rockchalkjayhawk That head ref should be suspended. Look at the replay. He had it all in front of him and allowed it to happen. Can't believed reffin' can be that bad at the FBS level.

Bill's had some work done. He looks good!

@RockChalkinTexas-0 I'm sorry, but it's hard to feel credibility from a person with glasses like that!

Anyone go to Hawk Talk? Ask this question, please, and report:
"The defensive alignments are very vanilla and easy to game plan against. Why is the staff so adverse to blitzing?"
Thanks.

My sources say we are 3rd in Big 12 in NIL spending, but 11th in football. SO . . . we are over-spending in basketball and not getting the results.
Note: KSucks football NIL is $3 million more than KU's.
Also . . . IMO LL made a huge mistake in retaining first-year DC. Please notice: We virtually NEVER blitz . . . so we seldom put pressure on the opposing QB.
I'm done.

Back in the early 1990s, I attended a game vs Wyoming. It rained. It was a downpour. The band left at halftime. So did most of the fans. Even Bob Frederick, the AD, left!!! (Never a fan)
I was able to move down to the 50 yard line and sat by Dolph Simmons, Jr. (publisher of LJW). I talked about my idea to take out the track. As a result, he commissioned an engineering study that showed they could lower the field by 7 rows and add 7,000 seats, putting fans close to the action. The other move was to tear down the horseshoe and rebuild stands across the end zone. Far, far less expensive renovations that would have left significant dollars for the football program.

Attendance in a crappy stadium with a great football team will always be greater than a crappy team in a great stadium.

I could criticize . . . and I have, but they stayed within 24-27 and were a yard from making it 31-34. Then drove 68 yards before turning it over on downs. A case can be made that LL is doing a good job with an average QB and and undersized RB lacking depth.

@Texas-Hawk-10 That's the key to winning football.

Lance is 2-8 in recent one score games. One perspective is that he has made us "competitive." Is that enough? We lost by one score to a team that has essentially the same NIL football budget. Could have won if we'd have cleaned up the mistakes. Remember . . . the stats were in our favor. Let's hope the staff can clean up the mistakes moving forward.
BTW The up and coming coach is at Tulsa -- Tre Lamb. One last thought: It's not an even playing field. Our football NIL is 11th in the 16-team Big 12.

We won the stats game, but 3 turnovers and 0 for 3 on 4th down. The biggest swing factors in any game.
Mistakes that need to be cleaned up. Poor play at times.
Lance's decision making has improved over his years here, BUT the team's execution has gotten worse. Which, you can argue, is on Lance, as well.

@Texas-Hawk-10 His foot is in a boot!!

This is exactly why I never had interest in traveling to London. The trip home would be miserable.

Marshall throwing better. And throwing away when he should.
Receivers better than expected. #5 is really talented. Notice neither #7 playing today. Starting tight end out. Our beast RB #6 is out, too.

You HAVE to be able to pick up one yard! No excuses.

SOOO disappointing.

I don't know if the directional punt was a good idea or not, but the execution was Terrible.
An inaccurate passing QB limited our ability to get a first down on that last series.

@wissox83 Agree Agree. Not much hope for anything other than mediocrity.

JUST like a Leipold team to fold before half or end of game. Just awful. Changes momentum going into the half. SOOOO disappointing.

Defense better than expected. I've seen multiple missed assignments on offense. (Don't jinx him) Nagy, an unheralded player last year, has yet to drop a punt . . . and showed some speed today!
