Sad not to get to watch DP. Lots of new faces. Jeremy Case is sitting next to Coach.

Listened to the last half of the game and looking at the highlights this morning I think this team is going to be fun to watch. DP is the real thing. It will be fun to see how Coach picks the starters and who best plays what he wants. On another side note, most of you know that I go way back to 2012 that I wrote the athletic dept. for posters and magnets. Well this year, I was notified that NONE of the departments were doing posters, and the guy I ended up with sent us a package of a couple Wave the Wheat tshirts, a Rock Chalk plaque, a magnet and a towel that reads “Towering Toward The Blue”. I can’t believe that they did away with posters. Feel naked without one hanging on my wall. #RockChalk

Saw a collage of pictures of him in high school, college, professional and Big3. #RockChalk

I have seen now $39.99 per month for the ‘new’ streaming service. We looked at ESPN schedule in our DirecTV and saw where ESPN was showing the Fresno State game that originally aired on Fox, so their content is being shared between the 2 now?

I read the announcement. It appears that ESPN plus is going to go away at some point and those programs will now be on the next level of subscription so that while those who had ESPN plus that cancel their subscription is projected to be a downfall, in the end the SOBs are charging more and we are getting less. I don’t want Disney plus or HULU so I fell into the Unlimited level, which includes all ESPN as well as ESPN plus as long as it’s around and golf and some other sports. They are pushing the new ESPN App as the way to get access. I have to turn off my VPN in order to watch anything on ESPN Watch, including ESPN plus, on my laptop. I come up for renewal in November so time to see how this plays out.

What fun to see the new stadium in all it’s splendor and they played well!!!

We follow ALL KU sports in our home. Now that we don’t have to root against Texas, we keep up with all the activity. New VB Coach has brought some bangers. I played volleyball in City leagues - had sand, inside, mixed, and just women, and have a tremendous love for the sport. Austin has sand courts and are always hosting matches. The CW channel also shows the men’s and women’s sand contests. Takes a lot of strength to only play 2. Loved Kerri Walsh and Misty Mae Traener. Just a perfect team.

@approxinfinity CANCER DOES SUCK. Sorry for your loss. Meant sincerely. Not a fan of rats, but I can see where the relationship becomes something.

I have a Western Screech Owl Mom and 3 of her babies in my white oak tree just outside the house. It’s a part of nature that they eat my lizards, but then again, all things are connected. Rats play an important part of the whole ecosystem.

Here’s a link from Brian Hanni’s twitter account. Just look at all those smiling faces!!!

I’m hoping they will have something here:

First, shout out to my fellow Texans who are experiencing torrential downpours (here we got over 20 inches so far) and loss of property and/or lives. My highway out of my area had bridges washed out in 2 places - one heading west and the other heading east. They were working on the one heading east yesterday but we got an additional 2 inches and they were forced to stop work. The bridge my husband helped build over our low water crossing off the main highway was the only one to survive the torrent of water and debris. 2 people were swept away and still not found when they attempted to go across that bridge he built. I probably won’t get mail for months. The one heading west to Marble Falls is completely gone. From drought to flooding. I walked down to the lake this morning and I could still see debris and huge trees floating and my neighbor who lives lakefront probably has about 50 feet left before water enters her downstairs. She saw docks breaking loose and sent down river and watched whole marinas going by on Friday. I emptied a 6 inch rain gauge 3 times and know that I missed some. Our cove was completly dry before and now boats and docks are all mangled against the cliffs. Lake has risen at least 18 feet since Friday. There were waterfalls cascading down 90 foot cliffs at the state park across the lake from us.

Now, a good distraction for me will be watching some of our favorite players return to LFK and play some ball. I for one can’t wait.

Who you most excited to come back? Me Dok

@SlimShaddy54 I meant KJ as far as getting up to the rim. His jump is what reminds me of KJ.

@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:

Mbiya is a Jayhawk. Big time add at needed position

He said Tarik Black was his mentor!

@Jhawk69 His height, demeanor and ability to get to the rim. He seems to be KJ like with lobs though. Just initially thought that while watching his tapes

Some really great news!!! Kohl reminds me of Nick Collison and can’t wait to watch what Jacque does now with all the talent.

I think it is a win-win for everyone, including us fans. I see it’s a whole other territory with the NIL but good for Flory for making Coach commit to him full on. Now we get to sit back and watch a guy blossom and contribute to all the many memories we have from our players in years past. RCJH

I took the position that it was for my betterment to not be consumed with anxiety that came from being a spoiled fan going through the 14 conference championships to the investigations, the recruiting whoes and the overall play being subpar. I have instead watched as a fan but without the intensity that we all have experienced on this site. I turned the KState game off with 7 minutes to go and that is the first time I have ever not thought we could make a come back. It was 75 degrees outside and chose to go for a walk instead. In my case, I hope they earn my trust back. The transfers didn’t pan out, Coach is still Coach, and it’s just not the same for me.

They have time before Brown game to get AJ and Rylo more involved. Have a good rest of the day

@DCHawker … they haven’t proven they can yet. So hold on

How are we in the bonus with only 4 fouls on ncstate? That’s what chyron says

Sloppy and lethargic

No reason to do that

Way to go Juan!!!

There was 4.4 left on the pass in and it switched to 20.

@FarmerJayhawk He’s so flexible he has all kinds of contortions

Alright Alright Alright

Is it safe to come back?

@wissox I will quit

Wow

Gotta keep the momentum going on our next drive. Can’t give it back to them

Girls are in the house and I am in my she shed. Just called to celebrate and Hannah said Chalk was under the bird feeder eating sunflower seeds!

Woo hoo. Easiest td for him

@Crimsonorblue22 they’ve been around for the whole year. We call them Rock and Chalk and the third Little Jay. Not original I know but it’s easy. Male is Rock.

Hold em

@Crimsonorblue22 I have 2 and sometimes 3 that come every day sometimes twice. So smart.

That was a bad call by the ref.

Cram it down their throats

My trivia calendar was about Tony Sands rushing for 396 yards on this day 1991 58 carries so I tweeted it to him and he replied!

Thx you yes this is the anniversary day

Then he reposted with this:

This was an amazing day then and it will be an amazing day today let’s go @BarstoolKU @KUJHawks @Jahawkpigskin @nostalgic_ku @JayhawkSlant @jaylassoku @KU_Football @KUAthletics @JayhawkTakeover

Quote Karen Holmes @RockChalkinTX 7h

@tonysands24 OTD in 1991 you set an FBS single game record rushing against #MuckFizzou of 396 yards! It was something to see then.

I saw Tony on the sidelines! What you think of that?

@wissox In my area, the game is on

What a great start!

#4 = Badass

Self said Flory Bidunga will be off of his injured ankle for a day or two and hopefully practicing by Friday. Said he could’ve got back out there tonight if needed but was good he didn’t have to. Per Matt Tait

Juando has 700 career assists
