Council may not have started his career as a Jayhawk, but his actions against Missouri amd KSU show he's fully bought in and been converted into a true Jayhawk.

Nice birthday present for me to see KU get a quality road win tonight!

Hilton Magic has nothing on the Phog!!

13-2 final. Obviously a disappointing end to the season, but still arguably the greatest season in Kansas baseball history.

This is a national game of the year contender so far and KU is looking like they could be establishing themselves as legitimate national title contenders tonight.

@BShark

Im fine with it all. We have a major coaching issue

what's the issue?

Advanced scouting in season has been trash in recent years. How many times has KU come out and looked unprepared against teams? That's the assistants not being good with advanced scouting

It sounds like the staff is expecting Peterson to be able to play on Tuesday night.

I hope Melvin can win his case to get another year.

Honestly he did some good and some bad. College sports is just such a shit show right now I don’t even know how to evaluate him.

Without him, the Big 12 wouldn't exist as a P4 conference. He jumped the Pac 12 in getting a new media rights deal which is why the Big 12 still exists today as the 3rd conference. He has the league in position add from the ACC in the near future as their next deal is approaching.

He is/was a risk taker and obviously some of his ideas have flopped like the LED court and the Monster Energy deal. He was never passive when it came to acting on his ideas and that's something that was an overall positive for the league and I hope whoever follows him has a similar mindset and approach.

Rebounding has been atrocious tonight. Someone needs to challenge Flory and Tiller's manhood to get some rebounds. KU has 1 offensive rebound and TCU has 12. No reason TCU should have 18 more FG attempts at this point.

That was fun!

I'll take a 10 point lead at halftime over Kentucky any day.

If the MSU guy was called for a flagrant, then this should be a flagrant as well.

That wasn't a flagrant.

I have a lot of respect for coach Leipold for bringing us out of the depths of hell but this purgatory ain’t a whole lot better. I honestly think he’s in over his over head at major college football. He’s Turner Gill 2.0 to me, yes he’s a better coach than Gill was but I think he belongs at Liberty or Buffalo level. P4 is just too competitive week after week for him to handle. @texas-hawk-10 I hope he doesn’t retire after this season, think it’s a bad cycle as it was last season. I hope he retires or is fired after next season. I would imagine his buyout goes down as the years continue on this contract. I can’t imagine a 7 year guy with 4 straight losing seasons and only one above .500 keeping it regardless of the buyout.

The rumor is if he retires, Kotelnicki would take over which is supposedly why he came back to KU instead of following Franklin to VT or going somewhere else.

Leipold's buyout this year would be almost $18 million after Dec. 1 and have to be paid out over the next 12 months. KU can't afford that payment right now as it would put the department about $50 million in the red for the year. 2028 would be better financially as KU would start seeing the benefits of Booth's gift that cycle.

He brought almost his entire staff and roster with him from an 11-2 JMU team that would've been a contender to make the CFP had they been eligible that year. After year 1, Mark Cuban donated a huge amount of money to IU's NIL funds.

David Booth's donation was timed so that KU would start seeing the benefits once the stadium is completed so going into the 2028 season and the goal for that money is to fund about half of KU's NIL obligations as a university. If Leipold doesn't retire after this season (there's runors it could happen), then after 2028 when the full benefits of Booth's money kicks in would be the ideal time to make a change.

The ceiling for this team is a national championship. They aren't there yet as the team is still getting adjusted to Council, White, and TKR in the mix. There appears to be enough playable depth to where Self can keep his foot on the pedal on defense. The offense is still a work in progress, but it should get better as they play more games together.

Can this team stay healthy and can they stay eligible?

@kjayhawks2.0 said in Todays who cares bowl:

We weren’t smart enough to make them use the TOs inside the 5. Told my son hey that’s plenty of time to go get 6. Should’ve used as much of the clock as they could have. I just want to throw up. I believe we are now 3-11 in one score games the last 3 seasons.

To do that, KU essentially would've had to just take a knee and center the ball for a field goal. In that scenario where KU is intentionally trying not to score, they're running maybe a couple of more seconds off the clock and giving UCF much less yardage they need to gain to win the game with a FG.

In that situation where UCF had all 3 timeouts, taking the TD was the better call. Yes, it would've been nice to get an extra play, but you also don't want to deny yourself points when the other team is guaranteed to be getting the ball back.

No lube on that one

@nuleafjhawk said in Todays who cares bowl:

Well, I had some enthusiasm and optimism coming into this game. Ii'm about over it.

BUT - at least K-Suck got the living crap stomped out of them today. At home. That helps my attitude immensely!

Missouri got screwed over by the refs pretty hard today too so that was fun to see. Too bad it was Texas benefiting from those calls.
