David Beaty's farewell game vs Texas
Nov 23, 2018 04:47 PM #1

Texas is only 15.5 point favorites today. That's a sign that KU has earned some respect this year because I would've guessed the line was around 21 points.

Going out with a win in Beaty's final game would be great. It would also be great to force Texas fans to have to cheer for Oklahoma tonight. For Texas fans, that's the equivalent of KU fans having to cheer for Missouri.

Looks like a sub 10,000 crowd today.

Nov 23, 2018 05:06 PM #3

Drops still an issue

Nov 23, 2018 05:12 PM #4

Hasan Defense is so bad at coverage and tackling. Seems like most big runs receivers have had against KU this year were because Defense missed a tackle or blew a coverage assignment.

Nov 23, 2018 05:18 PM #5

That was a dirty shot on Sims, absolutely bullshit there was no flag on that!!!

Nov 23, 2018 05:19 PM #6

Wow. Normally I give the refs the benefit of the doubt, but that was a definite late hit.

Nov 23, 2018 05:20 PM #7

That was a bullshit no call, I really wouldn't have blamed Beaty for getting 15 on that going off on the refs for that no call.

Nov 23, 2018 05:24 PM #8

Bowen’s D giving up a 99 yard drive. I can’t beleive I’ve heard people say they want Les to keep him.

Nov 23, 2018 05:24 PM #9

I also can not wait to not have too watch Bender try and play QB anymore, absolutely awful.

Nov 23, 2018 05:25 PM #10

@Texas-Hawk-10 That's one thing I think Les Miles will bring to the program...respect, from the refs as well as other coaches.

It may take him a little while longer to get it from the fans, seeing as we've been burned by hiring a big name coach before.

We know you hate Bender, just cheer for the guy today so it looks like you want KU to win. The guy has throw 2 picks all year, he's nowhere near as bad as you keep claiming. He also gets sacked at a lower rate than Stanley. The two things that you always complain about in regards to Bender are things Stanley is worse at than Bender.

There were very few people that liked the Weis hire even at the time. Miles has brought a new energy to the fanbase that hasn't existed in 10 years.

Nov 23, 2018 05:34 PM #13

I'm gonna miss Joe Dineen. Can definitely see him playing at the next level.

Nov 23, 2018 05:35 PM #14

@Texas-Hawk-10 you are literally the only KU fan I know that’s wants to see Bender in the game. He sucks. He can’t throw. It’s simple.

Nov 23, 2018 05:44 PM #15

@Woodrow I think he's better too. That last pass was right on the money, good D.

Carter Stanley is not better than Peyton Bender. There's no stats that back that claim up. Is Peyton Bender a great QB? No, he's not, but he is the best QB on the KU roster.

Stanley has the tools, but has never figured out how to use them outside of the Oklahoma State game this year in his three seasons. There is a reason why Stanley was 3rd string entering the season and has never legitimately beat anybody for the job.

Bender is nowhere close to as awful as you claim.

Nov 23, 2018 06:05 PM #17

Just about all of KU's issues offensively today have been the receivers dropping some easy passes and running backs going east/west instead of north/south.

Nov 23, 2018 06:07 PM #18

Unfortunately a good targeting call.

Nov 23, 2018 06:07 PM #19

This kid doesn't call fair catch, gets drilled, and our guy gets thrown out for targeting. Get outta here ref! Thought we said don't bring that bull in here!

Nov 23, 2018 06:09 PM #20

Embarrassing now

Nov 23, 2018 06:10 PM #21

Carter threw for over 400 yards against KSU last year.

Nov 23, 2018 06:10 PM #22

How many penalties can we get this game?

On replay that was the right call. Helmet to helmet and Moore led with the top of his head. That was textbook targeting.

Nov 23, 2018 06:11 PM #24

Come on the energy is there to win this game. We just need to channel it better

Nov 23, 2018 06:11 PM #25

@Texas-Hawk-10 I thought he hit him with face not top of head but we can agree to disagree

Nov 23, 2018 06:12 PM #26

It looked bad to me too.

That's what I initially thought in real time, but the slow mo replay showed Moore lowered his head a little bit and hit above the facemask.

Nov 23, 2018 06:14 PM #28

@Texas-Hawk-10 it's fine. I guess I'm signed up for a little bloodletting. Youre probably being more reasonabke than me. Let's kick their ass!

Carter threw for over 400 yards against KSU last year.

He was also sub 50% completion with only 1 TD and 1 INT. Steven Sims had much more to do with Stanley's yardage that day than Stanley himself did. That was a great game by Stanley by any stretch.

Nov 23, 2018 06:19 PM #30

2 dimes on that drive there.

Still better than what Stanley can do throwing into a pretty strong wind.

Nov 23, 2018 06:21 PM #32

Stadium looks pathetically empty. Should be much better moving forward.

Looked like under 10,000 actually there. Announced will probably be in the 12-15,000 range.

Nov 23, 2018 06:38 PM #34

I'm tellin ya this dam groups of kids has for sure gotten better on this defense - -no blowout at all - - --all year long Texas drives 98 yards on opening possession and then the defense gives up 60 yards total the rest of half -

Nov 23, 2018 06:39 PM #35

We have had FOUR MAJOR penalities against us that have just killed us is the main thing. - The I-line is hold up = =Haven't seen really a lot of pressure on Bender -I don't think any sacks at halftime

Nov 23, 2018 06:44 PM #36

Yahoo Sports is reporting the UT flag flew above Fraser Hall for 30 minutes this morning. Maybe it fired up the Jayhawks?

Nov 23, 2018 06:50 PM #37

That's a sack, gotta review that one.

About time Pooka broke loose

Nov 23, 2018 07:40 PM #41

KU has some life!

Nov 23, 2018 07:41 PM #42

Lol . Nice throw

Of course you're happy Bender just threw only the third pick of the season. Not an asshole thing to say at all.

You're the most negative person on here. You're never around when anything goes well for KU, only when something goes wrong to bag on Bender, Beaty, anything else you can pull out of your ass to bitch about, even during baksetball chats. So fuck off with the negative attitude towards KU or take it elsewhere like KUSports where you'd fit right in with your attitude.

Nov 23, 2018 07:53 PM #48

Good defensive effort today. With hopefully an improve staff and eventually more talent coming in, maybe KU could make a bowl game in year 2 under Les.

Whatever you think dumbass

Nov 23, 2018 08:09 PM #51

@Woodrow Nothing bad to say about that TD pass to Charlot? There must have been something negative to say about that pass since Bender is the worst QB ever according to you.

Nov 23, 2018 08:10 PM #52

Big 12 player of the week probably. He’s been balling out today!!

Nov 23, 2018 08:12 PM #53

@Woodrow You keep assuming I think Bender is a great QB. There's a big difference between being a great QB and being the best QB on the Kansas roster. Bender is the best QB on the KU roster, but your head is too far up your own ass to realize that.

Nov 23, 2018 08:18 PM #54

Facemask

Nov 23, 2018 08:22 PM #55

Gonna miss our kicker

So sorry seniors you had to be a part of all this mess! Hopefully you'll be stronger men! Rock Chalk and thanks!

Nov 23, 2018 08:40 PM #57

14 play most of the season? 2 huge penalties. I don't recall him before today. 🤯

If people can't see that yes - - - yes indeed that THIS team has improved - -then I guess people just can't help you - if people don't have their eyes open of course you wouldn't see. NOT You Bshark just saying overall. - There are some people that is probably pissed because the team is competitive . - -Play the # 6 ranked team within 15 at their place - - -lose to the # 14 ranked team by 7 pts.

This same team that after they went 98 yrds and made it look easy on there opening drive only gets 199 yards the rest of the entire game;

a team that hung 48 points on Oklahoma - - -37 points on USC - - -41 points on Oklahoma St - - 41 points on West Virginia - - KU had a ream that very easily should of had 2 more wins - -Nichols & KSU - - very easily should of could of ended up at 5-7.

Pooka end up with 113 yards but netted 103 with the losses. Texas on an average had been averaging over like 420 yards of offense-- soo - - -for the na sayers - -YES this team has improved , just to bad we are losing so much on the defense - -but we still have some hope for next year. - gonna have some receivers back next yeas Robinson - - -Charlot - - Man I swear hope Pooka comes back , can you imagine having him for 3 more years. - -with a few pieces we be there week in -- week out Thank you coach Beaty If I'm the only one - -I appreciate you , great guy. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 well, maybe I haven't seen him up close to much, but because of the penalties they showed him a lot today! I'm struggling for an answer here.

Nov 23, 2018 09:36 PM #62

I was tied up in a phone conference so I was able to watch the game only peripherally. Seems like the penalties were pretty lopsided in Texas favor.

Yes and no. Texas definitely had fewer calls against them, but they also played a more disciplined game. The only really egregious no call against Texas was a late hit on Sims on the opening kickoff. Other than that, this crew was pretty good overall. A few missed calls here and there, but nothing anybody was complaining about too much other than the opening kickoff.

Nov 24, 2018 01:14 AM #64

Well guys let me preface this please , and I'm not even saying this about the group of guys here - -there maybe some of your with a different profile name on other KU boards I don't know. Just please hear this and there are some other so called KU fans that I actually don't really wanna consider them as KU fans but I guess they are or so they say. - -Anyways:

Guys what I would like to say is - - -OK season is over -- -Yes Coach Beaty is no longer the Coach. - I get that -- He get's that -- The team get's that , and yes I fully agree that change was needed - - - I get that, - -What I DON'T GET - -What I don't need - -or want to hear - -what Coach doesn't need - what this TEAM doesn't need is to see is a bunch of classless morons that feel the need to take idiotic , cheap shots - -making degrading comments. -- This guy/these guys did make progress.- -Did he make play calling mistakes - and at crucial times - -everyone knows that - -he decision making hurt him a lot - -Yet dam did they play their ass off these last three weeks - there was progression.

What I personal don't need to hear or be around is people that can't show ANY CLASS. - - I would challenge ANYBODY -- ANYBODY to go in the same situation that Coach Beaty walked into - people that has no Head Coaching experience into this situation and do any better then Coach.

Is that what the KU fan base has resorted to? -total lack of respect for a person - -talk shit about people ? - is the LU fanbase gotten that bad? - I thought we had some class - -but from what I have been reading- -some people have NO IDEA. - -Pretty east to be Armchair Coach -- bet those people are undefeated huh?

OK my friends I'm done thanks for letting me vent , I just thought as a fanbase we were better then this - -I really don't think people are or have lowered themselves to like others have. - -I mean sure it been disappointing - -but Coach Beaty sure the hell didn't put us in this situation all by himself but he takes a lot of the kicking. - -Let's please try and show some respect for the man as a human - -as a person- -let's try and have some respect , there is no need for this shit - -His tenure is over - -Everybody just move on - - better times ahead. - -There is not doubt anyone can ever challenge Coach's Beaty's love for this School. - -great guy , just way over his head in a situation such as this.. -- Love Ya my KU brothers. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Nov 24, 2018 01:47 AM #65

@jayballer73 I appreciate the love. Beatty earned some respect. Hoping he ends up in a good spot.

I think a lot of the negativity you might see is just a culture thing that came from being big 12 bottom feeder for so long. Better times ahead for both light and dark siders.

Nov 24, 2018 02:26 AM #66

I’ve had a busy day was only able to watch bits and pieces (listen mostly). Looks like yet again the defense played good enough to win. Sadly this team is only about 5 plays from being bowl eligible. I felt like the refs must have been the same crew as in Manhattan. They didn’t cost us the game but several missed calls that weren’t called against Texas and several weak calls on KU. Maybe having a well known and respected coach next season will help get a few of these. I really like this group of seniors and would like to thank them for their hard work. They definitely should be credited for starting this turnaround that’s coming, they could’ve half assed it after knowing Beaty was out and no bowl was happening. Thank you Guys!! Thank You to Coach Beaty, I believe he did the best to his abilities to turn this place around.
