BIG game today! Must win. Bowl eligibility? All of those bad breaks go our way and turn one score losses into one score wins. Two weeks to prepare. Houston, slow start as well but they beat TCU, which maybe we do too if replay officials weren't corrupted by gamblers and on field officials knew what a block in the back was!! @mayjay Yes, it's all rigged. Even you know it!

Wish I could watch. Seemingly every college makes it onto regular channels these days except us. But I'll be following, yelling at officials I can't see.

@wissox I can send u 12 bucks!

I'm going to argue we're not even the most disappointing team in the Big 12 this season considering what OSU has done so far.

@Texas-Hawk-10 at least its debatable at this point lol

Great start!

Only low spot is I’m worried about Hishaw

Are we at arrowhead or mercy park?

@approxinfinity arrowhead looks like about 5k people there.

Oh yeah. Lots of empty seats

Wonder if not playing at home (truly) might have had an impact on mojo this year

You serious? Cant miss, Jalen

That’s gonna get called back but be cause they snapped it

Wow I’m shocked they gave it to us, went to the bathroom thinking we was gonna punt

whispers Grimes is calling a hell of a game

This is the Kansas football we all thought we were getting in August.

@FarmerJayhawk Yes he’s done a solid job so far and was fine last time we played. Taken him much longer to adjust to his personnel than most but is what it is.

Looking dang good, even though it's against Houston.

@Crimsonorblue22 Thanks for the generous offer! The Big 10 inexplicably decided to let Oregon basketball be shown on regular channels all season long. UW's AD must have really have pissed off the powers that be because 10 basketball games are on Peacock, and 5 more on BIG+. Oregon appears 1 time on Peacock and only a couple of games on BIG+. Crazy. So the decision was made to forego ESPN+ and the few KU games I'll miss for the sake of BIG sports which I really enjoy watching.

On radio feed that sounded like the KU defense of old.

Shoutout Coffeyville!

On radio it doesn't sound like anyone's there. Last play for 23 yards and there was no excitement heard from Hanni or the crowd.

I sure like the all blue unis

JD is back baby there we go

@wissox It’s not a huge crowd. Probably under 30,000

The production and camera operators suck today.

Amazing throw (allegedly)

Good catch too

🌾🌾🌾🌾💙❤️🫶🏈🥰

Makes me feel better that Houston’s pass defense isn’t all that bad, 3rd in the league coming into the day.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I’ll guarantee you it’s less than 30k see no one in the upper 2 decks and the lower bowl is maybe a third full. Likely less than 20k people there

Good grief our defense sucks

@stoptheflop just when they are looking decent, we are so slow at the LB position

They did miss a clip on that tho

Last 5 minutes of the half’s 7-0 Houston so far

I believe it's now up to KU being outscored 69-7 in the last 2 minutes of a half this season.

Game within a game that holding on a JD first down run has huge and could lead to point for them

Why is KU taking a timeout there?

@Texas-Hawk-10 Too bad they don't play HS rules of 12 minute quarters!

UH timeout, that makes more sense.

Heck yeah

Mamba!! Way to stand defensively

Holy shit! Defense did something good inside of 2 minutes!!!

Solid half all around a couple of errors on defense but creating pressure and turnovers is nice

JD 13/16 195 3 TDs, that’s what I’m talking about son

@kjayhawks that will work

Well at least Nebraska got pounded today. So, there's that.

@stoptheflop Fizzou pulled one of their asses at home vs 2-5 Auburn.

Hat trick!!

Guess who’s back? Back again, Mambas back, tell a friend

Nice job D

Great stand there against a short field

Could really use a long scoring drive

We have to have 4 sacks and 5 or 6 TFLs to go with the 3 picks

Got to get out of this end of the field.

JD is so back

That’s helpful. Also JD making a good read over the middle 👀

That probably should've been offsetting on the hands to the face, lol! Happy for some home cooking with the refs today.

The best game JD has played since 2022

Sadly, I don't have any confidence that KU will win this game. 35-14 in the fourth Q should be a cake walk right? This season puts everything in doubt

JD looks much more confident today

He has his swagger back

Defense!

Grimes with his first silly play call

Come on Tabor

That’s incomplete

I guess I have zero idea what is a catch on the side line. We both got one tho

Not over yet.

Heck of a play Cobee

Cobee and JD playing well is what we need

Defense this half 💪

Nice stop. Time to ice it

Yep. Put it away with another TD

DEV

OK, now time to run the ball left, right, center, repeat

That’s why you keep giving him the rock

Faked two guys out of their shoes

JD IS SO BACK

Onto Manhattan

Nice win. Finally

1-0 season started today folks

🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾🌾💙❤️🏈🥰🫶🍾

And get the stop for funsies

I love Jared Casey's box score line: 2 rec, 5 yds, 2 TDs.

Wrap your minds around this Hawks, Devin Neal can get the all time rushing record and most 100 yard games in KU history while leading KU to their first win in Manhattan in 17 years

@stoptheflop Coby - 1 tackle, 3 ints

@kjayhawks He needs 78 yards to get the record

@kjayhawks said in KU Houston:

We have to have 4 sacks and 5 or 6 TFLs to go with the 3 picks

KU ended up with SIX SACKS - - - TWELVE TFL'S - -& FOUR INT'S

@jayballer67 the defense looked much like the first two weeks getting guys back healthy

Upside for sure is all around complete game , some would say well it was Houston BUT thing is Houston has the Fourth best Defense in the Big Twelve.- - - They ranked Eleventh in the Nation in Pass Defense - -& Eighteenth in the Nation in total Defense. - -They were giving up Twenty One points per game----We get 42

Jalen throw for ---- -247 yards - -Ran for 58 yards -was like over eighty percentile in completions , For a change those middle minutes we made that stop before half - - -stopped them coming out in the 2nd half - -we HAD given up - -45 points in the final Three Minutes of the half -- We HAD given up - --66 points in the 4th quarter - - -NOT TODAY

Hope Daniel isn't hurt to bad -Glad Arnold finally woke up-- -he HAD before today only had -- 16 catchs on the Season. - -Crowd was pretty say - -Maybe 25,000 maybe - -tops 30,000- -but who didn't see that coming.

Thing is--dam we have either led or been right there in EVERY FRICKEN GAME LATTE -Defense collasped late , Man we could just as easily be -5 - - -2 - -instead of - -2 --5 .

Now the down sid,- -we got our toughest stretch coming up. Before Season started would of neve thought that-- We have K/State - - BYU - -- & Iowa - -ST. - -K/State & BYU on the Road and Iowa ST fans gonna show for sure- - Great win today

WHY - - -WHY - -- WHY -- -does anyone ever throw at Mamba lmao

Jalón missing the summer killed us.

This was the team we were supposed to be watching day 1. Win next week and all will be forgiven this season.

@nuleafjhawk What'd you do today? :)

It's crazy --Houston had been averaging 156 yards passing against them- - Jalen had 247 -- -they were giving up ---295 yards total per game ,-- -KU got-----447 yards.--- Just had a complete - - Boy I tell you what JB Brown hd himself a ball game game today - -All weapons

@Kcmatt7 listening to post game today on the radio some stuff I didn’t realize that really crippled this team coming into the season. LJ, Skinner and JD all were injured to start camp, and didn’t get hardly any reps heading into the season.

@wissox said in KU Houston:

@mayjay Yes, it’s all rigged. Even you know it!

I'm pretty sure Iowa State, K State, and Buffalo Bills, Cincy Bengals, and Phil Eagles fans all have determined, beyond further dispute, that the only thing ever rigged is when the Jayhawks and Chiefs win.

I love being on the side of the cheaters!

@mayjay I honestly have thought for about a decade that professional sports are rigged to a degree in this country. Too many coincidences on point spreads. There are dozen of YouTube videos with good evidence. I don’t think they necessarily want one team to win just want a certain amount of points between them.

Well damn, that was a near perfect game! How bout that. Not riled up, sad or disappointed at any time!

Can we do that again vs the sheep lovers, please?!

@wissox my wife and I took the boat to the lake and went fishing. It was a beautiful day - high 70's, 10-ish mph breeze and partly cloudy. A perfect day for fishing!

We caught 10 fish, brought 6 home and cleaned them. (The wife outfished me as usual 6-4)

Thanks for asking. How about you? What did you do yesterday?

@nuleafjhawk Well great! Listened to Jayhawks, watched Badgers, went to church event. I think that if you go fishing from now on, the Jayhawks will win!

@kjayhawks "There are dozen of YouTube videos with good evidence." You had me til that line! If we're basing our theories, biases, slants, leans, etc on youtubers then we just need to say we've lost objectivity on this particular point.

@wissox hahaha I mean if watch the game it is a little strange what is a penalty and what’s not. That nfc championship game between the Rams and the Saints where the most obvious PI in NFL history wasn’t called. Brady’s fumble vs the raiders that even with changing the rule is a fumble

@wissox we listened on the radio. The offense seemed good, the defense didn't sound awesome, particularly against a pretty awful offense. My hopes were raised slightly, but at least the next 3 games could be pretty rough.
