Another lackluster performance against a bottom of the big 12 Cincy. 1-1 draw giving up a sloppy late goal to lose.

The team almost looks functional. We remain cautiously pessimistic.

Taunting, teasing, tormenting ...

Or in Haiku form:

Kansas is driving!
They are on the two yard line!
Oh wait, turnover.

Also in Haiku form
6 is the amount
of really bad turnovers
in the 2 tough games.

Verse 2
We won't win much games
When we keep turn over ing
A poet I'm not

If getting into relative scoring position and not scoring is the point of the game we'd be doing very good today.

Screw Lyric Rawls for leaving for an enemy team.

When the announcer says that's not a holding it makes you wonder, right after them looking the other way on a late hit.

I"m not that smart but everyone shifting left on that play kind of hints that we're running a play to the left and ASU didn't have any problem sniffing that out either.

Wow a winnable game 50 seconds ago (game clock time) turns into a come from behind needed. Our offense hasn't scored a TD today.

Nothing demonstrates KU football more than what transpired in the last 5 minutes. Un be liev able.

Bad time for a shanked punt.

The worst trend in college football that doesn't matter is the shorts all these guys are wearing. I don't get it at all. Seems like risk of injury would be higher with that much exposed skin.

That was a big play by ASU. Could have gone into locker room winning. Now D has to hold them to keep the score in our favor.

Wave that wheat Crimson!! Team has settled down a little after their rough start.

@JoJoAndMe Those kind of numbers will ruin college sports. It's sickening that an organization that drove people nuts for their strictness in maintaining the amateur status of athletes has let it go so far to the other extreme.

I must say I 2nd @bskeet's rec for getting your PSA test. A couple of you i know don't have prostates but it's the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths for men which may surprise you but so many men get it, by percent it's not horribly deadly. I had it, kept an eye on it for about 3 years, but then my PSA started going up and a biopsy showed it advanced to a gleason 7 which is like stage 3 prostate cancer and they yanked it out one day. My dad who just passed had a very slow growing prostate cancer for about 25 years and didn't die from it but from other things. Easy blood test.

Somehow missed this thread. We've got a nice little community here. I posted earlier about my dad dying in June at the age of 94. I retired June 1 and have had a summer of funeral planning, and dealing with a lot of weird drama at my church, then getting cussed out by my brother an hour before Dads funeral. He doesn't handle things very well and well, it was ugly, but I've always been the meek one in cases like that, so I just took it instead of making it look worse. We're selling an old house in Wisconsin that a renter had trashed, a renter whom we had rented to cheaply because he was poor. You haven't lived until you've cleaned another mans uh, filth, off the bathroom floor and walls. (how does it get there?!!). Closing Tuesday. Ma approaching 90 and thankful to have her still of sound mind and decent health to boot.

Had an awesome retirement trip to Switzerland. Stayed in Interlaken for a week and then 2 nights in Zermatt$$$ and flew home right next to a dude wearing a misery shirt hours after they had beaten us in the big game. He was really nice though, didn't care that much for football.

Some thoughts from far away. I just spent a dream vacation/retirement trip to Switzerland and had to come home today, really yesterday. So at 3 AM Geneva time, we're walking to the airport since shuttle buses weren't running yet and I'm 'watching' KU play on my ESPN app. Semi encouraging first half disappeared with a 2nd half that looked like last years version of the game. Watching the game on the live updates wasn't very encouraging as turnovers and penalties seemed to derail their chances.

There seemed to be a lot of backlash against KU using the border war in their get hyped for the game stuff. A lot of 'did KU really use the civil war' to hype themselves up? A lot of people seemed to think we just kind of made that up out of the blue, not at all having any clue of the kind of rivalry this is. Of course the idiotic Missouri coach mouthed off after the game and I really dislike the guy now for it. Lance really might need to adjust his coaching goals here to beating misery. When Lovie Smith was hired to coach the Bears he said "I'm here to beat the Packers". And he did, at least for a few years and then it went south for him. I want Lance to say the same. "I'm here to beat Missouri". Of course he's failed at that so far and he might be on his way to being too late to save his job. Saddens me to say because I had high hopes after his promising start here.

KU soccer improves to 6-2. League play starts next week.

@approxinfinity Go for it, my interest is more soccer than volleyball!

@approxinfinity Not sure if you can change title of thread Soccer/Volleyball as their promising season has started. They've lost to Pitt and Stanford, national titleists in recent years so starting season with a bang.

Easier win yesterday. Still not sure about this team achieving the heights of last season.
