Somehow i missed this game entirely. Need to get my shit together and begrudgingly renew my espn+ i guess.
You can begrudgingly only have to sign up for November and December. Cancel before Xmas as the last plus game is the 22nd.
Wow that would be new this year. they are usually savvy about spacing the games until tournament time comes around.

Yea, i begrudgingly renewed as well.
You fortunately missed really really bad audio. Halting. Stop and start. Annoying as hell.
Almost as annoying as Self forgetting every year that you need shooters. Hoping whatever’s up with Dawson resolves itself quickly and he can help.
Well, that was, uh, mmm, uh, unpleasant for awhile.
I will say the defense was pretty impressive at times.
On offense, we looked like The Island of Misfit Toys. Who’s gonna step up to be our consistent secondary scorer? I’m not seeing a 3pt outlet. Kohl does not appear to be the answer behind the arc so far.
Flory played? He looked disinterested, but still had 9 boards and some blocks.
Soooo happy Mbiya got some extended run. I hope he sticks around for a few years. He looks unseasoned for sure, but Nice to have a true big!!!
Council is a blur. A slightly unfocused blur, but a blur. I assume he’ll gather more purpose with the ball as the team gets used to each other.
@DanR said in How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited:
I’ve had ESPN plus for about 5 years and I have no idea how I’m paying for it. No Disney bundle. Doesn’t show up on my credit card statement. Can’t cancel it or change payment method. I literally can’t do anything but sign in with my email and password. So I’m not rocking the boat. Good luck!
I betcha you’re paying via PayPal?
@stoptheflop said in Peterson out:
Kohl with the Pedro Sanchez mustache
I can’t say i’m fond of that stache.
Locker room leadership obviously lacking. Intervention?
uh oh. he needs reps with the team. Hope it’s nothing serious.
Jesus, it took me an hour to figure this out! I’m dumb, but not that dumb. You want my money, ESPN??? Make it easier for me to give it to you! ha
Oddly they wouldn’t let me sign up on my desktop, but had to log in to my phone to see the ESPN+ plan. So effed up.
Hey, all. So, all of a sudden ESPN is making it impossible to figure out how to find and sign up for ESPN plus. Anybody done that recently and know how? Send a link?
I’ve done this for like 30 years and they’ve effed everything up! ha. I know they are pushing like ESPN Unlimited and bundles, but i just want to sign up again for the simple ESPN+ content.
Hurting my tiny brain! thx.
Fun with the box score!
There’s some good stuff and a few not so great stats in here. Of course it’s only an exhibition.
3 pt shooting
KU – 8-21
Louisville – 11-38
I’ll take that shooting percentage most nights, but that’s a big difference in attempts.
DP – 6-10!
Tre White – 2-3
Everybody else was a goose egg.
Rebounds – interesting
KU – 34
Louisville – 47
21 of those 47 from UL were offensive rebounds. Crazy.
Random stats
DP has 5 steals, but 6 turnovers.
Tiller with 4 blocks!
@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Louis Takeaways:
Tiller is a lot more mobile then I anticipated. He showed some tantalizing skills and has legit size. Self throwing around that he could be a pro in the future is very interesting. His development this year seems like one of the main individual keys to this season.
He seemed eager to move around and mobile for sure. Maybe some of the offseason stories about him wanting to play wing with his size are throwing me off kilter!
I wrote the other day that Trey White seemed not as big or tall as I’d anticipated. Didn’t seem like he had the size to play down low when needed.
But, After rewatching the first half, I think the camera positions and angles made most of the guys look small. Kohl, too.
So, I take it all back til I see a proper ESPN game or something 
I have no idea why I think this after watching one game of Tiller, but he seems like he’s gonna be that love/hate player.
I just sense he and Self will be at odds. Weird, I know.
Position battle behind the scenes?
Honestly, what does it matter who coaches KU? Doesn’t seem to matter much.
But, we at least seem respectable at times with Lance. I’m in no hurry to rush him out the door.
(I do think he should have given other QBs a chance to right the ship today)
Well then, time for my Saturday walk. Certainly can’t get worse til I return, right?
@wissox said in Kansas State hate:
Gamblers influencing Daniels and others. Only plausible explanation.
Thought I saw Damon Jones on the field.
I thought before the game that one significant defensive stop or turnover or moment would likely be the difference today. We’ve already had like three in four minutes!!!
@approxinfinity i think we’ve seen plenty of humor already in this game.
For the uneducated like me … are we supposed to win this game?
Hey, how exciting. We got to watch some Jayhawk hoops! Awesome.
Boy, DP sure set the bar high for the rest of the season.
I can admit that buy in for me is going to be challenging with all the new, possibly temporary faces we have. Gonna take some time to learn their skills and personalities. We’re all used to the old way of 3-4 year player development.
@stoptheflop said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:
I wonder why KU doesn’t get any home exhibition games.
Didn’t we used to get like Russia and Lithuania ?
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:
Yeah he thinks he’s a 3/4 when he’s really a stretch 5
That’s what I’m thinking too. Foot speed doesn’t seem there for a small. We will see about the stretch part. Hope so
Finally! A big in the game for KU!
Tiller…discuss…
He fancies himself a small forward?
And how many coaches would be fired for slapping around players like the Louisville coach just did? Weird.
I thought Tre White would be bigger.
@approxinfinity said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:
@rockchalkjayhawk my wife finally found it on youtube tv accn after i had given up trying to authenticate with the app.
Exactly! Did the same and gave up.
I’m checking on ESPN app to see if it’s there…
We like it when freshmen are better than expected. Go Kohl.
Is that the real tip off or when it’ll be televised ya think?
I’m guessing Kohl is a fill-in starter til Dawson returns. Bill won’t dare start two freshmen and a sophomore all year! ha.
@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:
Luke Barnett
A recruit from Mater Dei would be a nice get. Not sure we’ve ever had a recruit from there that i can recall??
Powerhouse high school. Mostly in football though.
Jeez, how bad is the Dawson injury?? KU seems to have a pretty good year over year unfortunate trend of hurt kids! Shak Moore, Pettiford, Cuffe, MJ Rice.
Bummer. Sounds like Kohl puts in the effort on D, but has a ways to go? Not sure Self will be loving that so much at the git go.
Here’s to Kohl being the next Och…
Wowzers! Good for Christian if true!
5-year, $125 million extension $$$$$$
Ha. Who knows! The whole thing is crazy. That video doesn’t really show me anything. Maybe we’ll have to read Lance’s memoir someday when he retires for the true story. If there is a story.

BREAKING: Lance Leipold FIRED his assistant who was caught on a half dozen cameras planting a pocketknife on the sideline to draw a flag against Big 12 conference foe Texas Tech.
When asked for comment, Leipold didn’t sugarcoat it:
“He got caught.” Concise. Cold. Coach-speak.
Not seeing any evidence of a coach getting fired on any of the trustable, usual news outlets.
Saw a few pics and a silly dancing video. What’s with the dancing? Do the students like to see the players dance?
Haven’t found scrimmage video yet.
Was hoping to hear how DP looked tonight. Anybody got a video?
Too bad about the crowd. Is it usually full on Late Night?
Last time i went was Late Night with Larry Brown! Ha, i’m old. Had some great T-shirts from those days…
HA!!! ESPN had this to say about our transfers (they did a story about who gained/lost the most).
Getting rid of the two below was BY FAR an addition!!!

aargh. that sucks. sorry, man.
The dobermans have the night off in the garage?
Ha, not that I want to rile up @dylans any more, but this link is right up your alley. Calipari agrees with you. Don’t let the door hit ya in the arse on the way out…

@approxinfinity you talk funny
Oddly i never had a bad feeling about last night’s game, even after the Detroit opening drive. Thought it was a win from the start. Chiefs seemed pretty calm and collected. With Detroit’s injury woes, i did think we’d take more deep shots, but we hit the magic 30 points scored number, so all good.
Hoping we don’t hear devastating news about our left tackle…

@kjayhawks said in TTech Game thread:
Well you could script a worse start just not sure how?
Apparently you could script a worse start! Ha.
I think we should just close our eyes and enjoy that we’re on national tv today. Then forget quickly.
