I think they need to completely scrap the red zone offensive pay book

@rockchalkjayhawk we are light years passed the quick fix IMO. This is year 5 five and very experienced roster as was last seasons. In 2022 we were able to build off a win late in the year in Austin the year before. We returned just about everyone and made a bowl game. 2023 we same thing built off a good season and won 9 games with a bowl. 2024 we had the most experienced roster in CFB and returned a number of guys that made NFL rosters. Couldn’t win close games 5-7 and this year will end the same way. Our two deep is loaded with seniors and experienced players. If can’t make a bowl this year I see no chance at it next season. I’d bet a good amount cash we are right back to the 3 win era.

@stoptheflop that’s the hardest part Lance did a good job pulling this program from the depths of hell to having expectations. My expectations along with most fans is make a bowl. I don’t feel like that’s too lofty of an expectation. The other side of the coin with the Nice contract he got and the demands for the stadium upgrades that are in progress currently. One can say he isn’t holding up his end of the deal. Us losing so many close games the last few years but competing for the most part tells me we have the talent to go to bowl games. It’s as simple as if we lose Friday. He has to make a Bowl in 2026 to keep his job end of story. He made two of the worst coordinator hires in CFB history back to back.

I really wonder what f goes on during our bye weeks. Lance had solid record after them coming into the season and we just laid eggs after them this season besides WV. I went back and watched some the first quarter to confirm it as how I remembered and we just don’t look like a team that wants to be there. Coming in sitting at 5-5 with a chance to make a bowl game which hasn’t happened at ton around here and we look like we could two shits about it. Watching other games and being a former athlete myself looks like everyone else is jazzed to playing the game they love. We look like someone has a gun to the back of our heads forcing us to be there. The dang team looks it.

Utes!!! Hopefully used all their magic in that one, wow ksu is a bunch of idiots

@stoptheflop hopefully we see this and run the ball Friday and keep the defense off the field

KSU has over 330 yards running against Utah in the first half

@SlimShaddy54 yes lines up linebackers right on the line every play so no one can make a play on the run and man to man coverage has a 10 yard buffer even on 3rd and 6. Schematically it’s laughable idk that our players are that bad just it doesn’t work and hasn’t all year since we started playing decent teams.

At this point they may as well make D1 some sort of minor league or farm system

@Jhawk69 said in Iowa State Game:

There goes our last shred of hope at making a bowl game this season. I think there’s a chance we field a better squad next year but if we don’t it should be time for some serious reflection on the future of the program

This is the problem right now with college athletics, the coaches are getting insane buyouts after a one good year. They are worried the coaches are going to follow the players suit of just jumping to the highest bidder every season. They really need to regulate it from a players standpoint. Crazy seeing guys get bags of cash from 3-4 different schools. LLs buyout at 23 million is absolutely insane for a guy that has coached 3 winning seasons at this level of football.

This team does just enough to get your hopes up, life was much easier on Saturdays when expected 2-3 wins and we had a dominant basketball program. These last few years have been the toughest in recent memory as a Kansas athletics fan. Guess maybe we can hang our hats on volleyball and soccer.

@wissox said in Iowa State Game:

@kjayhawks Because you sound seriously spoiled

As a chiefs fan thru the 90s and 00s to the early 2010s I ain’t willing to back lol

If the defense had got off the bus, one stop won’t win games

@wissox said in Iowa State Game:

@kjayhawks No one who is a chiefs fan can complain about anything that happens on a football field.

Why is that?

Well unless Utah just sleep walks into the new booth next week we will miss a bowl yet again

I still think we need to play a back up QB this game is over

Like watching the chiefs on Sunday 3rd and mile? No problem

Even that ball by JD was severely under thrown or it’s a touchdown. Come on D

We are just not a well coached team this season, maybe some of that has to due with the personal stuff Lance is going thru with Kelly. But you can’t have terrible snaps and procedure penalties 11 games into a season. You expect that the first few weeks but we have way too much experience on this roster for that to happen.

It should be Isiah Marshall time but it won’t be because Lance loves JD to much. Just like Juan with Self last season will ride with them regardless of mistakes and score/wins.

@rockchalkjayhawk yep especially when we have let up about 30 rushing TDs right up the gut this season

@rockchalkjayhawk for some reason we line up 2 linebackers on the edge every play. One in the middle but he get blocked so there is no one there

Well we didn’t give up 7 at least

Every QB we play looks like they are playing madden, maybe that’s why they like JD so much. He prob looks like a god at practice against these losers

Offense looks good and the we have a penalty that derails the drive. That maybe the straw that broke the camels back.

Smh a FG does you zero good in this game to begin with.

Using the screen against an aggressive defense

@DanR much better play calling

@DanR if don’t score here I’m going grocery shopping which I hate doing but is an improvement from this debacle

The problem is the offense has to be more aggressive, have to score every time we touch it 4th and less than 5 go for it, defense ain’t stopping anyone

@wissox said in Iowa State Game:

Also ref waited for result of play to throw the flag. After suffering a drive killing non PI call last time we had the ball and this it’s just going to be hard to win with this admittedly piss poor defense.

God hates Kansas football apparently

We gave everything to football to win 5 games a year. Need to just stop the hell with new stadium, give to basketball and maybe we can be good in something again

My god it’s like we didn’t practice at all during the by week. I’ve always gave Lance credit because his teams typically improve thru out the season. This year it’s the opposite, we can’t make simple plays the later we go. We are gonna get blown out by 40 here today

Defense picking up right where they left off in Arizona

@benshawks08 I’d trade B12 championships for natties no question but losing first weekend after not winning the conference sucks very much

@BeddieKU23 I hope you are right one of the most embarrassing stats for Bill is 3-3 vs Tang

This fun…but not really

Guys I’m worried KSU could be better than us in basketball. That’s not good, we have a much large NIL but they beat us in the money sports

@Jhawk69 you look at the salaries of D-lineman we could have 2 really good ones for the price we paid Chris Jones. Watching the bills struggle tonight and lose to the Texans. It was all on the defensive front, Josh was sacked 8 times and ran for his life the whole game. The only difference in Mahomes and Allen in that situation is that people like @nuleafjhawk wont be screaming Josh is washed after a bad game. The chiefs just can’t get pressure with 4 and they struggle getting even sending extra rushers. The secondary is decent but it’s the NFL, you can give a decent QB and WRs 4-6 seconds every play to make a throw. I’m disappointed they made zero moves because anyone that knows football knows the issue is D-line and either RBs or just flat out not attempting to run the ball at all. I bet teams laugh at the play action against KC.

I liked Diggy last year he was a spark plug several times. Honestly would rather he stayed over Elmarko or Mari at this point he’s a much better player than both. It’s the same reason Ngala should play more IMO

The KU women’s basketball had a solid win over Minnesota last night at the field house 63-57. Minnesota was basically the 30th ranked team in the land getting votes in both polls. They got a tune up against ORL Sunday then a tough test against Georgia next week.

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/47014993/mens-basketball-freshman-year-contenders-ranking-top-10-cameron-boozer-aj-dybantsa-darryn-peterson Draft stock already seems to be dipping and I agree with this list, very small sample size on everyone especially DP but I don’t believe him to be anywhere near the best freshman in CBB this season.

One of my favorite quotes from Self is on Tyshawn “He’ll make some plays that you can’t coach and then he’ll make some plays that will make you wonder if he has ever been coached” . I like the Council comparison the problem is, does he have time in his one year here to finish the way Tyshawn did. I’d compare him to sophomore or Junior Tyshawn at his best.

This team has a lot that they can build on will be interesting to see how we fair against the BYUs and Houstons of the conference once we get more time playing together.

@kjayhawks said in Duke Game:

@wissox this team is missing a back true 5 and a consistent shooter imo but we’ll have to see how guys grow into their role.

I don’t get this at all. Missing a center? Flory plays next to the rim the whole game. He scores almost at will, just punished Dukes bigs, plays nice defense, rebounds could improve a bit, but I have no clue why you think we’re missing a true center.

Focus on the next. Beating ND would be our first win of the season against a P5 type team. They should beat them I believe, but without DP (?) we’ll need to play well with energy like we did last night.

Flory is fine but we need another one to back him up, see the game when he left the floor. Flory is good but has a lot to learn, see UNC game of him getting destroyed defensively. We needed to get a Tarik Black type guy in the portal IMO.

My son insisted we watch the whole game lol so we did. I was ready to call it in but with about 5 minutes to go once they pulled back away.

I still hate Coach K if anyone was wondering

@wissox this team is missing a back true 5 and a consistent shooter imo but we’ll have to see how guys grow into their role.

@SlimShaddy54 kohl will be great in a few years for sure, just hope he’s still here in that time frame.

@DanR said in Duke Game:

I don’t think DP returns. We’ve seen this story before. But, I actually think this squad–without him-- has a chance to be in the top 10 by seasons end without him. A lot of youth, but with Tre and Council we could make a good run. IMO. Obviously a better team with him (as a diversion) the longer his poor hammy hurts.

Ya my inside sources say he never plays again for Kansas again. Hes much more worried about the draft. Makes sense to me if it was a hamstring issue that was serious they announce it so he doesn’t look bad. That and if was a grade 1 sprain they shut him down for a month not have him come back and forth while showing no signs of discomfort.
