At this point it’s looking like KSU would be a bad loss. I ain’t counting my chickens before they hatch at the same time. We should’ve beat them in 2005, 2009 and the last two years. You can bet your ass they play the best against us. It feels like if we don’t end it this year, we may never get it done
@Jhawk69 getting an extra week to prepared and with how they have looked. There is not an excuse good enough to lose to WVU imo.
@dylans the conference doesn’t look good at all to me at this point. You have Tech, Utah and ISU. But im not sold on any of those tan right now. Whomever makes the playoffs likely gets smoked first game they play.
One thing not a lot of folks are talking about is the talent around the PG. TT did a lot the second half of his senior year with one draft pick. The teams that won the titles had a minimum of 3 draft picks on them. Several of the guys listed only played with one draft pick so it makes it tough to gauge.
Frank Mason- was the trick of all trades as a PG imo
Aaron Miles- great passer, all time assists leader and under rated as a defender being 3 all time in steals.
Sherron Collins- a lot like Mason but not as good defensively. Jack of all trades
Tyshawn Taylor- Turnover prone but was great the second half of his senior season.
Devon Dotson- to me he was Frank Mason 2.0, he just wasn’t long enough to be hirer on this list.
Russel Robinson- Great defender but average IMO on the rest.
Devonte Graham- really was 2 guard that became a PG due to necessity. One of my favorite SGs in KU history.
Elijah Johnson- same story as Dtae not really a PG but had to play there for a year. 10 second call vs Michigan will haunt me for the rest of my life.
Marcus Garrett- great defender but also not really a PG and forced to play there for a season. He did solid looking at the talent he didn’t have around him.
Dejuan Harris- never was a fan of his game and big circle dribbles that ended with him in the air and turning it over under the basket. Was pretty much all we had much of his time here outside of Remy. Him being behind guys like Miles on the both the all time assists and steals but playing in numerous more games says something to me.
Naadir Tharpe- Didn’t like his game and wasn’t great at anything IMO besides having an Ego the size of Tim Duncan. But he likely makes a FF with a healthy Joel Embiid.
@dylans same can be said for Remy Martin and Juan in 22. The back up was likely better in both scenarios but Russ had experience and Juan had started all so they kept the line up the same. I’d bet Collins and Martin played just as much if not more in the title game and more in most tournament games.
@patoh3 yes Henderson has the big drop but JD over threw him on two walk-in TDs at one point as well. Thats was the knock on JD when Bean was here, Beans long ball was better.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Fair points, I just saw the box score on Fresno game. I keep forgetting Utah is in the conference now lol
@dylans we recovered it so not a chance they would gain possession, we like get it back from the illegal touching point plus 10 yards. The pick play in the end zone on 4th down was also a huge miss by the refs
Thinking this morning, Mizzou just maybe a ready good football team going forward. Not sure I could name 10 teams that go into Columbia and are favored right now. Fresno beat Oregon State by 2 scores last night and we spanked them. The conference continues to look wide open after yesterday’s disappointing non-conference showing. Iowa state maybe the only clear favorite at this point in the season. WV our next opponent was just beat by Ohio 17-10. We have a lot of winnable games left on the schedule. We must reset and refocus this off week and get ready fro the meat of our schedule.
Nice to see KSU get the loss they deserve, the question on X is if LL drops the KSU game does his seat get hot? I think if we reach a bowl game it does not. Miss a bowl with his stadium demands and the money Booth has just thrown in the program. Then the seat gets warm.
@wissox ya that 4th and 10 from the 28 prob isn’t even attempted with their kicker available. A few others are borderline.
It hurts because it’s been the simplest of plays that have killed the last few minutes of half’s today and last season. Catch the football, hold on to the football, throw the football to your team and tackle the guy that’s right in front of you. We literally could be 15-1 it the last 16 games by making simple plays that D1 power 4 guys make routinely every single week. I’m glad we have the off week to refocus but WV at home is a must win for bowl eligibility
@DCHawker ya the defense is as hot butter much of the day. We fought and gave ourselves a good chance for 3.5 quarters just got beat by a better team. We need to spend this off week working in tackling
Silly to not throw it 10 yards out of bounds for a 6th guy. JD was solid today but 2 turnovers were very costly
@bskeet having their kicker out may have benefited them
Sometimes it seems like we snatch losses from the jaws of victory.
I just feel sick like I did after 6 of our 7 losses last season
I honestly have zero idea why you don’t going with how this defense has played from the second quarter on.
Jesus our 4th defense is the reason why it’s a game
Come defense need at least one more stop fellas
Well here we are deep in our on territory big game, this is where legends are made
Nagy smh have to let that go buddy.
@wissox turnover or at least a stop. Give up 7 and we may as well go start the bus
Missouri has 424 yards to our 125 
I feel like a long touchdown drive is a must right now
Idk why we didn’t get up on the ball and roll there but 3 is okay. Let’s go defense
Hey we finally got a 4th down stop! Need a long drive to give the D some rest here
We have to get the run game going or we are toast, crazy because central Arkansas damn near ran for 200 on these guys last week.
@bskeet yes for -15 yards and the defense was completely gassed which lead to that last FG.
I feel lucky to be tied after that second qtr, right up David Beatys alley -15 yards for the quarter. I’m sorry but I bet they come out and throat punch us right from the start
Smh talk about extreme highs and lows
Now can the defense get off the bus
To me two guys getting big paychecks on the defensive side of the ball did absolutely nothing in Jones and Bolton add in Jawaan Taylor offensively who I believe is the second highest paid player on the team that only got penalties. Can’t be paying guys big bucks to not do their job. All 3 should be on the trade block monday.
No reason to panic I think the chargers are a playoff team. I thought Mahomes played really well and the offense did pretty good for having Worthy get hurt right away. But man this defense needs a lot of work, the secondary and linebackers are absolutely terrible. A tight end or back can beat Bolton every single time. Better lock some butts in the film room after that.
This team is gonna look like the chiefs from 2018 to 2020. Score 30 plus points or lose
@bskeet I don’t think the officials have been terrible outside the RTP in the first quarter and a guy getting to throw a punch without being ejected
Sadly without a missed extra point they’d be okay but idk if there is time left for 2 scores now especially with this defense.
This passing defense is a joke, there is no one within 5 yards of these receivers half the time or more
Sorry but I think it was silly to give Bolton a big contract, he can not cover anyone in the passing game he’s so so slow
Football weekend chiefs game tonight, my sons game in the morning and the Americans vs the confederacy Saturday
I think this is the biggest game in KU football in a long time maybe the bowl games in LL era are higher. This game makes me super nervous it always has and always will because of my hatred for Missouri. One paper it’s a bad look to go lose to a bottom feed in the second historically for both KU and the B12.
@Texas-Hawk-10 @Jhawk69 I think Hunter would’ve been very good had we had some shooters. Several pictures were posted on X the last two years of him have 3 or 4 people on him at all times. When there is zero threat of someone hitting a long shot, just pack the paint. I was never a fan of Juan’s game personally, I hate walking the ball up the floor and dribbling in circles going nowhere just to do it. Kansas basketball is pushing the ball and getting out into fast break. I think we can do that this season. Basketball 1-0-1 easiest why to beat the defense is to beat it down the floor.
