Looking for upset!🏈

I'll take covering the spread tonight and be happy about that.

What if we win this thing? How much would that help Miles on the recruiting trail ?

At least, no damn announcers are laughing at us!

What are the chances we keep Pooka with Miles coming in?

@approxinfinity high! Just me though!

I think Pooka should be retained now.

ALSO WHAT IS EVEN HAPPENING??!?!!?

We r fricking winning!🏈

Pookey?

hold me

@BShark better shut the tv down and go watch your pipe.🙄

Lol

Lol. It's off, I'm fine.

@BShark OU's defense has been pretty suspect all year, combined with coming out pretty flat and turning it over inside the 10.

:rolling_eyes:

Don't expect a KU win, but keeping it competitive was a possibility tonight because of OU looking ahead to OSU.

Shoot, I could have hopped that in on my scoped knee

Oops👀

My most hated school song

Some crappy calls there!

That was a nice sell

I don't even know who blew that coverage

Sims playing?

A spark🔥

I would actually like to see what Bender could've done with another offseason as the definitive #1. He's actually been pretty good since Meacham was fired and not having to look over his shoulder.

I don't care what anyone else thinks, Beaty is leaving this program in much better shape than what he started with.

Matt Leinart won't be laughing at KU at halftime this year even if OU scores again before half.

Miles better find us some guys who can tackle.

That should've been a late hit penalty and a free play for KU.

Better review that and see some penalties for that after half.

Just think if KU would have had a time-out or two for that drive.

Talk to me about the scholarship situation.

This is sarcastic, don't actually do it, but you get my point. It might be marginally better.

There is some real talent on this roster assuming it can be retained. A bowl in year 3 would be a success for the next staff imo.

I know you've cited Keegan for the scholarship numbers and Keegan was off on those because he didn't have any real access to the program because of his constant over the top attacks of Beaty that went well beyond professional criticism.

The scholarship situation isn't perfect, but it's not the hole many, including you have claimed it to be.

I don't even think it'll take Miles until year 3 to get to a bowl game. Considering how close KU was to being 5-5 entering this game and with what's returning on offense next season along with the secondary returning in tact along with some good pieces on the DLine like Kamara, I could see a bowl game next season or year 2 under Miles.

All right!

Pooka! Showing up ou!

Pooka is going to love playing in Les Miles offense.

Right back in it

this game is still winnable!

Nice drive! Good to hear the announcers give us some props for a change.

Calm down.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I am interested to see what kind of class can be put together. I'd probably be shocked if KU made a bowl next year though.

@BShark I have not had cold water splashed on my face today.

TOUCHDOWN. - -these guys no matter what proud they are trying to compete dam proud going against the # 6 team - - watching at this point - -THIS is the nu 6th ranked team?

@approxinfinity 💦

@Crimsonorblue22 was that a double unjinx? you know you think we're in this thing.

approxinfinity said:

Likely didn't have it nearly up to your knees either! :skull:

@approxinfinity of course!

Be nice to get a stop!

Just not sure the defense can make enough plays. Which, I mean, OU has an ELITE offense. I do really appreciate the effort from the team today.

The mayor!

@BShark This is true. I don't envy you; I've been there very recently. The line from the water main up to my house was leaking badly when we moved in, and I had to have a guy dig it up and replace it. Not cheap.

Crap

If anyone wants to fumble right about now for OU, we'd take it.

That’s terrible defense on that 3rd down

Kylar Murray is pretty fast.

approxinfinity said:

KU already used that one up in the first quarter.

Woodrow said:

Bad angle... :/

Murray is the best player in the game tonight and in the B12. There's a reason he was a top 10 pick in the MLB draft this year and could have been a future NFL draft pick had he chosen that route.

@BShark two guys took awful angles there. Should have been a easy stop and a field goal.

Wellp.

Yeah, game over now.

Yeahhhh too bad. It could have been magical.

Well, shoot. Gained some respect in prime time. Hate to die second half

I can not wait until they get a legit QB. It’s beem too damn long.

KU was competitive with Oklahoma in Norman for basically 3 quarters. No shame in that considering the current state of the program.

I don't think very many people thought KU would still be in the game most of the way through the 3rd quarter.

Facemask?

I thought so too

I’m going to be very sad if Pooka transfers out after this year. He’s so fun to watch.

@Woodrow hoping he gets a lotta accolades after this season

Maybe Beaty can have the free state fb job.

Crimsonorblue22 said:

He should get Freshmen All American, 1st team All B12, and probably Newcomer of the Year in the B12.

He could also end up being Preseason Offensive POY next year as well.

I hate to say it, but I almost wish that Pooka didn't have a great game tonight. Now that he got national TV exposure, what are the odds we keep him?
I think of what Sam Phillips of Sun Records said when he heard Elvis do "Don't Be Cruel" : "Man, he's gone now."

Aren't they all Louisiana people too? Will miles keep anyone to keep kids?

Pooka's been practicing his passing skills.

Beaty is the happiest he's been in a long time!

@nwhawkfan if he can play like that against ou, maybe that will be positive for us. He'll be happy! I bet Beaty tells him to stay unless he's going somewhere, and wants to take him.

Lil speedy guy

Crimsonorblue22 said:

I imagine Hull will be retained.

@BShark will hull want to? Promote him?

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Well, he won't be OC so I am not sure where there is much room for promotion. Might give him a pay raise though if needed.

No, definitely didn't think KU would stay close for that long tonight.

The final score will not reflect how competitive KU was tonight.

I always have hope we show up, some talent on this team!

Fun, maybe we win next week!

Not pookie

Pooka better have a voicemail from Les waiting for him after the game.

got some more they busted their- - -- ass offover 400 yards of offense

Believe it or not - -this team has improved this year - not being blown out every game. - - -baby steps - -Beaty is gone I like him just over his head. -- just couldn't stop OU powerful offense

we get Les - -he better bust his ass keeping Pooka to stay - -better keep Hill -- next Saturday might be interesting

My son just said we ran that xtra pts play w/John randle.

Bender makes Alex Smith look like Patrick Mahomes. He’s hard to watch.

@Woodrow he's better than anyone else we've had in awhile

Pooka w/ over 250 yards for Pooka against Oklahoma, 2 rushing TDs, 1 passing. Filthy.

Graphic of players around the country they just showed had a Lil'Jordan, a Gentle, a Tuf, and a Legend, all first names. Are these the names their parents gave them? I hope not.

My favorite hoops name....a guy who played for Memphis State named Baskerville Holmes (R.I..P)

Nice to have announcers that are so respectful! Fans have to see we are better!

Damn proud of our guys tonight. No quit in them.

Nichols and KSU!

There is no doubt we are better- - could of had another win if Pooka was available in 1st game - - - if we could of just takin advantage a coupe of times last week we could of took that - -hopefully we can compete hard next week maybe finish with a W

you and me both buddy they played really hard , OU just to powerful on the O side of the ball - -still really proud of the guys

Crimsonorblue22 said:

ya that is two that just - - well one KSU - -and we WOULD of beat Nichols

I have always wondered how hard it was to be beaty's wife. Tough job for her! I don't know how Beaty could be so positive w/those kids. I couldn't keep my head up like he does. But I know he has their respect and that speaks volumes. He was put in an impossible position, made worse by Charlie Weis. I really put the blame on all this mess on sz. I don't think Beaty every gave up. I hope he's in a winning place next time. I think he's great for young people.

Not a win but a really good showing for KU, definitely above what was expected. OU had to earn the win and now is the only conference team with a shot at the playoffs although it is stating to look like the conference will not have a team in the playoffs.

Great effort tonight, the defense did a little too much breaking but they limited huge plays. Man I hope Pooka stays, if we get the right offensive coordinator, he’ll be a force. I’m not a 100% why he only got 20 total touches. My boss who’s a huge OU fan and former college running back (DII) was asking how in the hell we lost to Nichols, KSU and Baylor with the talent we have. All I could say piss poor coaching. I’m proud of the effort these guys are putting in knowing the season is over and the coach is gone. I find myself wondering what this team could’ve done had Zenger been fired 6 months earlier and Miles was named coached assuming Pooka still comes. I bet 7 or 8 wins would’ve happened. We lose so much it’s tough to expect a high number of wins next season.

Agree - Oklahoma IS NOT worth any # 6 ranking in the poll's -- -Really great effort by the guys last night - -probably had some Okla fans wondering what the hell. -- -I know a lot of their fans are about to go off the deep end on their boards - -. - Boy starting to get to be some bad blood with these programs -- lots of chirping - -could get really nasty hmmm. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks Pooka only got 20 touches for the same reason you mentioned we lost to those 3 teams. Sims is another guy that has been greatly under utilized all year. However, we your QB can’t throw the ball that doesn’t help.
