    • RE: Jayhawk football schedule. Wissox Forecast.

      @kjayhawks It’s interesting because we write the same thing on each of his seasons it seems. Our losses are not bad losses, this week excluded. Our losses are close games which the fatal flaw is the struggle to make the play in the last 2-3 minutes of games. 2 of 3 losses this year fit the category. So many what iffs last year. I forget the “Bean Year” where we had fewer losses which games were close calls hinging on mistakes in crunch time but I know there were several.

    • RE: TTech Game thread

      Well our defense gave us some moments but Tech figured it out with a backup QB. Lance has to figure this out because we have an offense that wins us lots of games.

      @kjayhawks I’m not the smartest football mind but the TD’s came off of opening up the offense.

      Again Hanni mentioned the 3rd and 1 call but the TE just stepped out of bounds instead of Walter payton like plowing forward to get that first down.

      That receiver’s got to fight for the first down. On him that we’re punting now.

      Jaden is 16-19 for 164 yards or something like that. He’s a nice QB for our team. Here’s hoping Marshall will live up to his hype and keep this excellent QB play going forward.

      Upsets galore. Northwestern beats St. Penn in Unhappy Valley. Indiana whom I didn’t believe in until today is about to knock off Oregon in Nikeville. Of course Oregon’s best win has been winning at Penn State which has now lost 3 in a row so maybe they’re not that great either.

    • RE: TTech Game thread

      By the way the game from 3 years ago ended up with us not being able to get a stop late, twice actually and led to us losing by 15. Jason Bean and Jared Casey opened the scoring with a 66 yard TD pass! Those were the good old bad days of KU football.

      Looking at the box makes me realize as much as Lance has turned around KU football, we seem to be stuck in a fighting for a bowl birth phase instead of fighting for a conference championship phase. That game featured poor defense, poor kicking, lots of penalties. We’ve got a nice kicker now, and offensively seem to be just as good, but the others, uh, not so good.

      Lets finish this game thread from 2022! Maybe we’ll get a win this time! I’m not super optimistic but miracles happen. Busy sports evening. I don’t like the cubs but I’ll definitely watch and while my other team is pretty much sunk, playing Iowa at the same time as baseball and KU tonight means a lot of multiple screen views to try and watch all.

    • RE: LANCE THE KNIGHTS

      @dylans I really am just saying send them in for a play per half. No undermining taking place, just give a little experience. Most players on the field get subbed out during a game, some on 3rd down every time or whatever.

    • RE: LANCE THE KNIGHTS

      Somehow I thought this was a bye week. However, I turned on the TV around 8 to watch baseball and noticed KU football. Since I record all games, I could watch the whole thing. Glad I did.

      Observations. After a slow start Jalen had a really solid game. Avoided the mistakes he’s infamous for. Made some really solid throws.

      This defense is offensive. Yet interestingly the defense also won the game for us with the strip and fumble and bent but didn’t break through a high wire act 4th quarter of stop after stop.

      That freshman TE Bruhn or whatever his name is can play. So can Groen. So can Henderson.

      One little peak at Marshall was enticing. Not sure why QB is the one position that backups rarely play unless it’s in a blowout.

      This was a nice win for our bowl hopes but as someone who predicted 8-4 way back in June we’ve got a ways to go.

      At TTech next week gonna be a long night the way our defense is playing.

      (I’m pretty stoked about all of the great recruiting news coming from our better known team!)

    • RE: The Future of Jayhawk Basketball...

      @drgnslayr I’d say the winning teams are winning with older guys still. Not gonna waste time looking it all up but I guess there’s some stat out there of NCAA winning teams and age. Kentucky and Duke are the two exceptions since 2012 I’d guess as they were very young and (tears) beat my two favorite teams which were laden with vets.

      No teams win with OAD’s these days. The teams that we see in late rounds of the NCAA are experienced, veteran led teams. If what you’re wishing for or saying is our new reality well it’s not a very bright future for us.

      Vs. Nebraska Cincy gained 271 yards Vs. Bowling Green 439 yards 600 vs NW state in a 70-0 rout. Against us? 603 yards.

      Cincy is no high powered offense. But against us? They’re worn out from so much running.

    • RE: Lance Leipold

      There’s some flaw in this rebuild. Not sure how to pinpoint it. Losing Andy K, the brilliant offensive coordinator may have been the worst thing to happen to this team, but goodness, the mental errors are egregious.

      I didn’t get to watch today, but listened til middle of 3rd then followed on game day as we’re travelling and I was hiking, so not sure the mental errors, but a 2nd straight game with a defensive guy lost to a dirty hit is inexcusable. Jalen fumbling on the 1 is beyond inexcusable especially as he’s been prone to fumbles still after ten years running the team.

      A defense getting gashed has been the most frustrating part. Missouri destroyed us all day long. Cincy destroyed us almost all day. WVU is bad so I don’t count last week.

      A lack of a under two minute minutes offense has to be fixed. I know we scored just under two, but I’ve seen teams get the ball with 30 seconds on the clock get into FG range and we did zero with our last possession.

      I’m not ‘fire Lance’ or anything like that. He’s made people pay attention to KU football. But he’s gonna lose a lot of support should these kind of games keep happening. As some have pointed out losing 63-10 is far worse.

      Whoa, I watched the first half as we peppered their goal with tons of missed shots and then a 2nd point blank missed shot in the 2nd half and Baylor barely had any good looks BUT connected on them and won 3 nil. Really demoralizing, as balls on frame will rebound and 2nd chances abound, but when you whiff on even hitting the goal from 10 yards and in, well you don’t deserve to win or be ranked.

      The KU side goes against Baylor tonight at 6. Ranked anywhere from 8th to 14th in the various polls. KU is 15-1-3 in their last 19 matches, pretty phenomenal. It’s on ESPN+ if anyone has nothing else to do.

    • RE: 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but )

      It’s getting to the point where I want us to sign our guys like 3 days before school starts because guys decommit so often. I’m kind of amazed that Patterson (I hope I got that name right) is still here because I was sure he’d get lured away by some odd SEC school or something. Glad he’s here. Can’t wait to see him play and then hopefully give us a championship in his only year here. If he doesn’t then I really don’t give a rip that he gave us one year here. I want guys who will go through the good and bad and watch them gel like our 2022 team did. I’ll barely acknowledge he was a Jayhawk like Dick and Furphy.

      The great Danny Manning, decided that the pros could wait. Look how that turned out. Chalmers decided the pros could wait. Look how that turned out. Braun and Agbaji same thing. Those are the kind of guys I can say I’m proud were Jayhawks. I know others differ on that opinion and that’s fine.
