Must win tomorrow!
-
Like I’ve been saying y’all don’t get how many years this will set us back. Any decent player will hit the portal and we won’t get crap in recruiting
-
Who decided Grimes was the best OC we could hire?
-
@kjayhawks said in Must win tomorrow!:
How mad do we be at the defense when they have played good enough to win every game but the last 2 drives here. Maybe we should just cancel the program and join the big east this absolute embarrassment.
sounds good, do ew get a win in the Big 21 this year ?
-
And will LL right the ship after this or will he bail at the end of the year?
-
There is no reaso n this team should be 1-3 with the talent we got— -PERIOD
-
@jayballer67 We get a win by surprising a team who had a short week and has multiple injuries at key positions. And also, flu is running through the team the night before.

It was awful. But. What are really going to do midseason here to right the ship?
Clint Normore available?
Cmon, that was funny!
-
I’m done. See ya in basketball season
-
Lance will bail IMO based on “lack of fan support”. JD needs to become a RB or WR. Ballard to QB? Defense - how do you fix something that broken?
-
Well these types of preformance sure the hell isn’t goin to help funding for the stadium- - – -DAM , back to bottom feeder football
-
@patoh3 I am fine at this point if LL leaves like I said he is a fraud and AK was the genius
-
Avery Johnson may run for 300 yards on us
-
3 losses like this is tough to swallow. Could be 4-0
-
This looks like a David Beaty coached team sadly
-
JD had a chance to be a hero 3 times and fumbled it away all 3 times he is the MVP of the opponent
-
This is fan abuse. The playcalling is atrocious. We were up two scores late and had the ball on 3rd down and 3 near the 50 yd line and we threw the friggin’ ball. Even my 11-year-old son called out “it’s 2 down territory!”
I feel like this is the old horrible KU football program. We had our little run… coaches get paid millions in contract… time to tank.
I’d love to feel some optimism, but I feel like a rape victim continuing to be victimized.
-
@drgnslayr right it’s easier to know what we suck and lose by 49 than to piss away the talent on this team and not even make a bowl. Fire everyone and cancel the program
-
I feel sorry for players like Neal, Hishaw, Grimm. Bryant etc.
Their talent is being wasted by poor coaching and play calling.
-
Outscored 48-17 in the final 5 minutes of each half so far this season
-
@kjayhawks or 1,000
-
Well. This horrible start has made our opinions generally unanimous here #tryinghardtofindsilverlinings
-
@approxinfinity I’m usually pretty negative I’ll admit but what can we take from this disaster of a season. That we’ll have a new stadium that’s 1/4 full next season.
-
@kjayhawks yes. And they can charge four times as much admission to make up for the lack of fans that our coaches have alienated
-
This is nowhere near David Beaty era Kansas because KU was rarely competitive. A game like today against a conference opponent was a once a season deal.
This feels much more like the 2006 season KU went 6-6 and was about 5 plays away from being 10-2 that season. KU this season is about 3-4 plays away from being 4-0 right now. This is nothing like 10 years ago when we were begging for KU to just be competitive.
Because KU has had a 4th quarter lead in every game this season, Daniels and Grimes don’t deserve all of the blame, especially the last 2 games where KU had a lead with under 3 minutes left. That means that despite the flaws on offense this season, they’ve been good enough to give KU leads with under 3:00 left the last 2 games. The defense has to be better at getting key stops amd closing out games as well.
It sucks to not be able to close out games, but again, this is nowhere near Beaty era levels of bad and incompetent.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 This is worse. We have experienced success and gone woefully backwards. We will never again win a football game.
-
I concur although D has been put in very tough situations by offense.
When O got the ball around 3 min to go they could have iced the game with just one first down but they couldn’t do it giving ball back and momentum to WV

The defense was given an 11 point lead with 3:40 left in the game. That’s not a tough situation, but obviously the defense wasn’t up to the job today and deserve more of the blame than the offense for losing this one today.
-
@kjayhawks hey next Saturday we get to see Coach K play against Illinois, should be a moment to really reflect on Grimes vs K.
-
Also, Illinois beating Nebraska… that one may appear to be less of a bad loss for us on paper. Obviously, we gave it away.
-
I think we all can agree it was a team effort to lose this one. The offensive play calling has been absolutely garbage for much of the year. The defense couldn’t get stops when it was a must. But as I said the defense is allowed to screw up too with how ungodly bad the offense has been for much of this season. @Texas-Hawk-10 thats a very logical and fair assessment but I agree with @nuleafjhawk this is the worst feeling I have ever had as a ku fan losing by 40 to a more experienced and better team is one thing. Having 30 returning seniors from a 9-4 team up against one of the easiest schedules in CFB. This is unacceptable and changes need to be made
-
If Patrick Mahomes had attended The university of Kansas, he’d be selling paint at Home Depot now.
-
@nuleafjhawk idk it’s pretty clear he overcame some pretty god awful coaching in college
-
@kjayhawks Both suck for different reasons. This season sucks because they were expectations going into a season for the first time in about 15 years and each of these losses have come down to the final few plays so it’s more frustrating in that sense because of the emotions involved.
The Gill to Miles years sucked because we just weren’t competitive at all and apathy was the norm. The emotional detachment might make this seem worse, but I’ll always prefer having a chance to win over games essentially being over after the first quarter.
KU won 21 games total in those 11 seasons. Leipold has won 20 games so far at Kansas in 3+ seasons and is already tied for 9th on KU’s all time wins list and has a shot to get to 7th this season.
-
@nuleafjhawk If Patrick Mahomes was on KU we would be 4-0 right now.
-
@approxinfinity no, he would have morphed into football obscurity simply by being on campus
-
@nuleafjhawk lol
-
@approxinfinity if Cozart was QB we’d be undefeated right now
-
The silver lining is JD looked better today than he has. This was an L on the schedule preseason.
Small sliver of hope left.
-
@Kcmatt7 Not KU Godawful, brother.
-
Schedule does look easy still. Next 3 need to be wins.
-
So disappointing. Glaring mistakes from players and coaches to blow three winnable games. Still time to turn this around, but at this point… what we’re doing ain’t working, coach LL.
-
Oh boy, just got home. Couldn’t find the last 10 minutes on my DVR. Looked up the score at KUSports and well, crap. About to start to doubt Lance Leipold. I lack to brain waves to figure out how to coach the boys to hold an 11 point lead with 6 minutes left, but I’m thinking there’s got to be a way. I’m glad i didn’t watch. Would’ve been interesting to see what a difference the delay may have had. We were clearly rolling on Defense throughout the 2nd half until the delay, then they must have come out with their 2nd wind.
-
@wissox Agreed. We can bitch about Daniels and Grimes but it’s ultimately on the head coach.
-
Letting the QB run straight through the middle has been a problem before, IIRC.
-
Just looking at our schedule this morning, I think we win 2 games this season. Houston is our only chance at another victory.
-
@kjayhawks Happy days. Just a few weeks ago a lot of us dumbass fans were predicting one or two LOSSES.
-
@nuleafjhawk must we self flagellate so vigoruously?
-
@approxinfinity I’ve told you about using big words around me
-
I rarely disagree with you… but on this one, I blame the offense. KU has become a quality program mostly through our offense. We have several big-time tools on offense.
Yes, the defense lost away a two-score lead late in the 4th quarter. They were tired and without an offense keeping possession of the ball, they weren’t allowed to rest, and possession drains the clock making it impossible for them to score twice.
We didn’t need to score again while up two scores but we did need to secure ball possession. And our best offense so far this year is our ground game. As I mentioned above… two downs to make 3 yards (especially with Neal and Daniels) is an obvious situation to run, making a first down while also running clock.
My 11-yr old was even screaming at the TV!
-
@wissox yes I have lost all faith in LL, the team just doesn’t look well coached at this point. As I’ve said many times was AK running the show? We are so lost into many different areas. I will say most of those areas we lost coaches, the secondary, offensive line, QB and just over all coordinating of the offense looks terrible. Thats why I would’ve fired Jeff Grimes today.
