Drake losing the Missouri Valley title game to Loyola Chicago could potentially knock the Bulldogs out of the tournament because of the weak SOS. Winthrop winning the Big South was big all of the bubble teams as Winthrop would’ve been in that discussion had they not won their conference tournament title game today.

@jayballer67 I’m with you, it wasn’t all rust. They got bullied by us, which is how this team can advance - they have to be bullies.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Cool, I just voted for him 3 times! Didn’t they used to let you vote only once a day?

Burt is coming back.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in TCU Disaster: @jayballer67 When you would have like Eliot to teach these players his system? During spring practice? Oh wait, we didn’t have a spring practice this year. During fall camp? Oh wait, that got stopped and started multiple times because of Covid, legislation, and the NCAA. Opt outs, Covid, and injuries this season resulted in KU starting 5 guys on defense in their first or second year of college football including a couple of guys playing a different position last night. These guys are inexperienced and limited in what they can do in practice because of Covid restrictions and there’s only so much film study and chalk boards can help with in learning schemes. Eventually players have to get on the field and actually practice to get the hang of what’s going on with these schemes and responsibilities. When the DC is forced to play a lot of players before they’re ready to play or playing them out of position, and have limited practices because of Covid issues. When a position group is isolated because of exposure, that also means you can’t run a full 11 on 11 drills at practice which also hurts development. I’m not a big DJ Eliot fan, but there’s so much stuff working against him this year that’s beyond his control. There’s also a big difference between firing a position coach and firing a coordinator midseason because a position coach doesn’t affect the scheme a team runs. Firing Eliot also means having to teach a new defensive scheme mid season which would just make the defense even worse. Look plain and simple , see if you can comprehend this I doubt but MAYBE you got your thoughts for whatever are they wrong probably but there your thoughts good for you. you like making excuses - -GREAT you run with that. Let’s see he could of instilled this like oh I dunno - - LAST SEASON. - -not all these kids are freshmen as you wanna make them out to be. - We have Seniors blowing coverage and guys catching touchdown passes with no defenders within 10 yards of them more then once - that are Seniors - - Mayberry is perfect example. There are players that are upper classmen that play like crap out of position to make plays that’s on your defense , and if that’s a position Coach or whatever - -they need to be held responsible for that. – Very easily could of - -should of as you say taught these players LAST season. Oh wait - - maybe he did - - maybe they just slow learners, ya thats it. - Look I’m not wasting my time getting into a pissing contest with you over this. You got what ever the hell you think , I got mine that’s that. - -Your a guiy that likes to make excuses - - you take and run with that. I am not buying it. I’m not asking for this defense if that’s what you call it - -I’m not asking them to move Mountains - -just a mole hill – little ol mole hill - - show us SOMETHING - -ANYTHING. - - Opposition RB’s are running through our Defensive line making holes a 98 year old man in a wheelchair could gain 10 yards a touch - -it’s beyond pathetic - hell I could see where a down even 2 maybe just got beat - -but this constant - -but again you hang onto that theory - -Good for you - others aren’t buying it take your sales pitch some where else - -ELLIOT SHOULD BE GONE PERIOD. All schools have had COVID issues , ALL schools have had players that weren’t ready having to play and a lot of them out of position - a lot of Schools have had limited film study, - like I said I’m done with you on this - -find your debate on things some where else I’m not buying the BS thanks - -have a great day

I just wanted pass along some good fball news from Lawrence. My gson, 1st grader, his team won the toy bowl this am he scored a Td.

Sounds like it will be St. Joseph’s as the 4th team in Ft. Meyer’s and will be KU’s opponent on Nov. 27.

@approxinfinity said in KSU Ass Whooping: Maybe we will learn more details. Sounds like pillowtalk to soften the blow or maybe leave options open. From what Les is saying strictly because of Mothers illness , and wanting to be closer to family. - -leaves a lot of options open. - -Like it was saying he could come back - - - he could transfer to another School - - he could just sit out and prepare fort he draft - -lot of options - -just don’t seehim touching the field again in a KU uniform

@Hawk69 said in WVU Game: I predict we will not win a game until we take that marxist, anarchist BLM patch off our uniforms. I watched several games and no other team had them. These are 18 to 21 year-olds. The coaches and administration should decide what patches go on the uniforms. When this all plays out in the next few months, or so, we will all wonder, what the hell were we thinking putting that patch on our uniforms. I surely hope the basketball team makes a better decision. This is a molten magma take

@DanR said in Les Miles has tested positive for Covid-19: I’m still blown away that he was doing a live broadcast of Hawk Talk in a restaurant. At Johnny’s last night with “a cold.” I brought it up about 3-4 weeks ago… why in person? It’s a radio show. I figured he was putting himself at an unnecessary risk, but it turns out he put the audience at risk. smh. Hope everyone is OK and no one visits grandma for a couple of weeks Was listening last night and the Wibw Hosts said that Johnny’s had taken precautions and I guess no one else was at risk from what they were saying on the sports program

Over the last 3 years, of all the RBs I have seen, and even though it is a very small sample size, my eye test says that Hinshaw is the best. He is the RB I can see playing on Sundays.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I understand all of that, but it’d still be more interesting to me than watching people getting excited about beating Djibouti by 84 points.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I hated him with a passion. That’s probably the sign of a good coach. At least a successful one. Right behind K and Boeheim. More than Thad Matta and Calipari. RIP, Lute. The game was better with you and your evil dojo in it.

I was born and lived in Sulphur until I was in kindergarten before moving to Houston. Still have a few family friends in the Sulphur/Lake Charles area and I believe they all evacuated once reports came out Laura was going to be worse than Rita was back in 2005. The Weather Channel was holed up at the Golden Nugget which is on the south side of Lake Charles on the Calcasieu River and one of their reporters, Stephanie Abrams, was on air doing a report last night a little after 1am when glass from the balcony above her shattered and she had to quickly run back inside the hotel for cover. I really want to drive over and see how the house I lived in when I was kid over there cared, but I really wouldn’t be shocked if it sustained significant wind damage last night.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Former KU football player Isi Holani passed away.: Don’t know any details of the cause, but just saw former KU defensive tackle Isi Holani died Saturday at the age of 24. Holani played at KU from 2016-2018. That’s Sad – sad day for the University , hope the family stays strong - - -I think I remember him. Wasn’t he an offensive lineman ?

@Texas-Hawk-10 https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/01/politics/iowa-task-force-report-coronavirus/index.html This is what I worry more about. The more our opponents mix with students, anywhere, the bigger chance it stops our season. I think Long is trying to teach, although I think it’s impossible, our students to be responsible.

Big 12 going to a 9+1 model. So SIU plus regular league schedule.

Lol I gotta pause here guys @mayjay @benshawks08 (I like where we ended up on your last post) . A good stopping point for tonight for me. I really appreciate the thoughtful conversation. Needed it. I’ve been deep in a shell for like a month and this is the first I’ve really felt like talking. Thank you.

I think I read that one of Wilt’s cars was still around.

@Hawk69 lol good times
