Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 21, 2023 03:27 PM

Dros and penalties have been a major issue all season long.

Teams are double/triple teaming Kelce and Chiefs WRs still cannot get open, and when they do get open, they drop the ball.

MVS has been a major disappointment, I have watched the open TD play now several times and still SMH.

They cannot score in the 2nd half, 3 games in a row with 0 points in 2nd half.

Is Reid being outcoached?

Petiford scored 15 points with 6 assists today but his team ECU lost at home to Northeastern, upset loss.

KJ Adams • Nov 19, 2023 01:38 PM

@kjayhawks While this is a huge loss, sometimes being with friends and loved ones can provide comfort. I recall TRob's situation when he stayed with the team.

@BShark Thank you for posting these updates, keep them coming.

Beat KState! Beat KState! • Nov 19, 2023 01:33 PM

I want to beat these guys so bad.

Next year cannot come soon enough.

While this loss hurts, I am encouraged about the future.

We will beat the streak in 2024.

KJ Adams • Nov 18, 2023 01:29 PM

May she rest in peace and give strength to KJ and family to deal with this tragic loss.

Jalon Daniels health • Nov 17, 2023 07:40 PM

Should Daniels take medical redshirt for two-year eligibility?

I don’t have as much knowledge as you here but in my opinion he doesn’t have to score like that to be great.

If others are scoring around him he has to be the floor marshal and not let his man score.

Run the offense.

DaJuan Appreciation Thread • Nov 15, 2023 10:20 PM

Let's send some Jayhawk love to our PG.

Where will we be without him?

Ever since his first year, our team looks different (better) when he is on the court.

The guy is genuinely modest, no hoopla, just goes about his business without drama.

What to Expect at the Champions Classic? • Nov 15, 2023 10:14 PM

@wissox Cole is my all-time favorite ex Jayhawk in Self era.

By the time Cole came to the league, 5 spot had evolved in that Bigs need to be able to score away from the basket and shoot at least a modest % on trey. Unfortunately, Cole lacked in this area and could not contribute.

Imagine if Shaq was in the league today? Could he survive?

NFL Draft - 2023 • Nov 14, 2023 04:12 PM

Big win for Broncos on the road over Bills.

Broncos have young talented players on both sides and Wilson is playing much better.

They are buying into Payton's system.

NFL Draft - 2023 • Nov 13, 2023 01:09 AM

Stroud is thriving with Texans, they can make playoffs.

On the other hand, Bryce Young is struggling with Panthers, they haven’t put him in a good situation.

It’s interesting to see how a team’s culture and system impacts development and performance of young talented QBs.

Before the injury Hishaw looked like a beast and I viewed him as a solid NFL back. He is still very good but not as explosive as prior to injury in my opinion.

Bowl game tracker • Nov 12, 2023 08:48 PM

I think LL is pretty committed to KU although you never know in this business.

How do folks view him as an NFL prospect

What to Expect at the Champions Classic? • Nov 12, 2023 05:30 PM

Does CC games have any impact on seeding in NCAA tournament?

Jayhawks in the pros • Nov 12, 2023 01:27 PM

Just saw on another thread that Oubre was hit by a car, terrible accident. I hope he recovers fully.

Jayhawks in the pros • Nov 12, 2023 01:24 PM

Oubre has been doing well in Phila. They are doing much better with Harden, Maxey is on fire.

Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 11, 2023 07:20 PM

@mayjay Oh yes

I’m referring to Smith who was signed as a free agent.

Manhattan Jaspers, Who? • Nov 11, 2023 01:58 PM

Some random thoughts.

Will Furphy become an OAD? I had read that NBA teams were raving his potential.

I would love to see Elmarko use his speed and drive more to the basket.

Hunter was solid on D in this game. How will he defend quality Bigs remains to be seen.

Can Timberlake improve his D.

HCBS seems to have lost a lot of weight, he is looking good.

Ladies off to good start • Nov 09, 2023 02:00 PM

With all starters returning and a solid incoming class, KU Women can do some damage this year.

Tracking the Outgoing KU transfers • Nov 07, 2023 06:12 PM

@benshawks08 Jeff Withey comes to mind.

KU-NCCentral Eagles!!! Tonight!! • Nov 06, 2023 08:35 PM

I want to see Elmarko play loose and just ball.

Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 06, 2023 08:34 PM

@mayjay O line has been good except for Smith who was not drafted by Veatch.

My comment has more to do with WRs. Drops are across the board, not just Rice. Pacheo has been solid and need more touches.

Chiefs season long game thread • Nov 06, 2023 07:03 PM

Chiefs O is just not good enough, cannot sustain drives, too many drops and penalties. Cannot convert 3rd & 1.

Chiefs D is very good.

Having said that Chiefs are still in 1st place with 7-2 so as a fan I should not complain too much.

Hopefully, with a bye they can regroup and come back with greater focus.

As a side note, ripping ball out of Cheeta's hands for a touchdown was sweet. The play had 3 plays in it. McDuffie is next Chiefs legendary player.

Veatch and scouts have done an incredible job in drafting D players but not so much on O side.

Chiefs signings • Nov 01, 2023 12:09 PM

At the right price WR or LB would have been good.

LB position has suddenly changed from a position of strength to potential weakness due to injuries.

Regardless there are no glaring holes and team has talent at every position.

They need to avoid beating themselves.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 29, 2023 10:49 PM

Not looking good

Team did not come ready.

This can happen when you go on the road against team with a losing record, recall week 3 loss to Colts last year.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 29, 2023 09:41 PM

Out of synch

Better regroup at halftime

KU back in top 25 at #22

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 29, 2023 06:22 PM

Just read that Mahomes will play, he has been getting IVs

This has to be KUs best win since Orange bowl victory.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 29, 2023 06:13 PM

@rockchalkjayhawk It will be challenging but possible, D will need to step up even bigger.

@stoptheflop probably

But they will happily pay 😄

Amazing win

Beating Mighty OU

Feels greattt

Less than 1 week until game action!! • Oct 28, 2023 01:12 PM

I think Timberlake starts and Elmarko comes off bench and will hopefully provide a spark.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 27, 2023 08:12 PM

I do not see this impacting Chiefs much if any at all.

On a brighter note, Watson is back practicing.

Chiefs signings • Oct 27, 2023 07:23 PM

Chiefs DL and pass rush of Jones, Charles, Dana and George will be problematic for other teams.

They can come at you from any place, interchangeable.

I like what Cullen has done with the group.

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 27, 2023 04:23 PM

This is an excellent interview of an Israeli historian who in my opinion is spot on how to move forward from this crisis.

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 27, 2023 04:11 PM

Have you seen any evidence of babies being beheaded and killed?

This was a fake news, even Israeli government had retracted it.

Hamas needs to be strongly condemned for their heinous acts. But as a general rule it is always best to verify information before accepting it and spreading it.

At the same time Israeli government needs to be strongly condemned for their inhumane practices and creating genocide in Palestine.

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 26, 2023 08:23 PM

Senator Sanders is a moderate Jew for whom I have tremendous regard and respect.

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 26, 2023 08:21 PM

@FarmerJayhawk Moderate Jews and Israelis are hugely upset at their hard liner, racist, PM

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 26, 2023 08:19 PM

Bernie Sanders speech on this issue:

?s=20

Hesela sounds ready to launch rockets • Oct 26, 2023 08:14 PM

We will not see this on national media

Does anyone know who had formed Hamas? They are about 50k in a total population of 2.2M. Why haven't they been wiped out already?

How can a terrorist organization make such an attack on country with one of the most sophisticated intelligences and second strongest military in the world. They have been getting $4B in US aid every year. How can they perform this operation for 6+ hours and no sight of any military or police intervention.

Has anyone read the history of Palestinian Muslims and Christians? Is there any regard for civilians, there is genocide going on while we are making posts in comfortable 70 degree temps watching our favorite sports.

Did folks know that Osama Bin Ladin was a US spy and fighting with US in Afghanistan?

Have we learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan? More bombs, bloodshed and loss of civilian lives while Defense companies' cash in more profits.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 24, 2023 12:03 PM

@mayjay This hurts although Chiefs are deep at LB and Tranquill played well in his absence. He will have to shoulder the responsibility.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 23, 2023 03:43 PM

I get a feeling that Chiefs vs Dolphins in Germany will become a key factor in AFC #1 seeding.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 23, 2023 03:41 PM

How about a big shoutout to Butker, he has been really solid.

Chiefs season long game thread • Oct 23, 2023 03:40 PM

@rockchalkjayhawk Kelce counted as TE, Rice has become WR1 which is extraordinary for a rookie in this offense.

KU is #1 • Oct 21, 2023 07:40 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Being a Chiefs fan, I feel otherwise. We get on the wrong side of the calls.
