@JayHawkFanToo I think there is a big difference and McBride is a lot better. Rankings wise they are similar right now though.

Another little interesting tidbit with old Rat face and crew. - - A duke poster asked Andrew Slater who was most likely to be a Duke Blue Devil out of Cole Anthony - - - RJ Barrett - - & Josiah James? Slater responded back and said - - -Josiah James - - - hmmmm. I know a lot of talk now about Anthony and Oregon but had heard he was an almost lock for Duke -then Barrett? - - - kind of funny. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Barrett is at Duke right now, as in on their team and will play this year. I think you got something confused here.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah we definitely want them landing forwards that aren't Hurt.

@jayballer73 Duke is crashing and burning in this class so far which excites me...
I thought we'd see more people trying to spin this but I don't see it. The Capel loss certainly hit them here + Nova having a shiny trophy to sell. Nova is recruiting stupid right now and isn't done from everything I see
Yeah there is really no way to spin it.
For those that don't follow recruiting as closely and might just be thinking only of this miss well it's not just this. They also appear to be fading with Cole Anthony.
They will get Josiah James no doubt, but outside of that I don't know.

Do we know if Carter Stanley killed Beaty's mom?
Oh and BTW, the Democrats taking the house would be a GOOD thing. We have historical data that backs that up. 1935-1997 basically.
Also, does anyone know what is going on with the damn tariff laws? Good companies have had to declare bankruptcy because of them. We need to see who is profiting from them to find out who was pulling Trump's puppet strings.
Edit
As far as the first post from @approxinfinity I would agree education is in dire need of an overall. We also need drastic minimum wage hikes across the board.

I am actually rooting against impeachment proceedings (right now, at least). Any attempt to impeach the president would be seen as a purely political act at this point. Impeachment should not be pursued unless it is blatantly clear to the vast majority of the country (not just Democrats, but a majority of independents and at least a solid plurality of Republicans) that the president has engaged in illegal activity (not counting perjury).
I would support continuing the investigations because the threat of interference is a very real one, and tracking down those involved, whether it leads to the president or not, is of utmost importance to the nation. This is where I struggle with the Republican position that if the investigation does not lead to Trump, it should be shut down. The investigation has shown some level of interference. Whether that leads to Trump or not, that is a huge deal that should allow the investigation to continue to its complete conclusion.
The impeachment stuff is definitely a ploy. It's another distraction so no one pays attention to how terrible the government really is on both sides. It wouldn't mean anything anyway, the next 10+ people in line for POTUS are awful.
Speaking of awful politicians it would be nice to see Claire McCaskill lose, what a corrupt turd. Though there is no way to remove all the corrupt politicians ie most of them.
The best part about the impeachment talk is that Trump appears to be too dumb to realize that it's all a smoke show.
Which brings me to my next point. How many people here know there is a war in Yemen right now? There really is! Look it up. America is even helping out. It gets so very little national news coverage.
@jayballer73 Before KU got involved he was believed to be a pretty big Missouri lean. I mentioned it in the recruiting thread earlier I think but his older brother is on the team this year and his mom is a Missouri grad.

Looks like Braun could be added to that list soon.
Yep.
I watched some of his highlights and I'm trying to jedi mind trick myself but I just don't see it.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I'm generally not a fan of playing 2 qbs in general, let alone one that runs almost exclusively.
Let's leave the sports boards for actual sports discussion. Then we can have this thread for you to talk about Deep State and the NWO.
Important: I don't believe any of this.
@KUSTEVE It's a bold strategy, I like it!
kjayhawks said:
@KUSTEVE at this point I'm thinking the goal posts may come down after the spring game.
Will KU have enough players to do a spring game? :thinking:
@wissox Well, JB called me an idiot based off a completely incorrect assumption that I did not see the loss coming. Then he keeps antagonizing while also spouting off more lies. I'll try to drop it, but I'm not going to let insults go by unchecked if he continues. I had actually been not responding to him at all until this.
I will update the OP if I see any more confirmed visitors.
Figured I would compile this in one place for those interested.

Please stop being continually wrong.
You called me an idiot and the reason was a lie. I think you might be a bit senile.

I want to believe that JB is a parody account.
Every now and then I link his crazy ramblings elsewhere and most people assume he is some kind of weird forum joke.
This coaching staff continually makes the same mistakes. It's sad. About as sad as me bothering to reply to JB.
@wissox The problem is that he is trying to rationalize the failure away. It couldn't be that KU hired a terrible coach. No, it's because KU simply isn't permitted to win.
I don't expect KU to be in BCS bowls regularly. Just being around .500 would be good, and has proven plenty doable in the past. Have the team be competent, sporadically rising up for surprisingly good seasons.
Glen Mason went 47–54–1, Mangino 50-48. Hell Terry Allen was somewhat competent, much moreso than Beaty, just never quite made a bowl. Mike Gottfried hovered around .500. It's really all I asked for out of KU football. Even Jack Mitchell, who JB should remember was 44–42–5.
I mean he doesn't even seem to know that Mangino and Perkins were at odds with each other.
He'll just blame everything on the deep state that doesn't exist, instead of facing reality. That Texas theory is particularly hilarious. Good programs have down times, when they have bad coaches. Even the likes of Texas and Alabama are not immune. Look up Alabama before Nick Saban.
All I want is a semi-competent coach.
@Crimsonorblue22 Early prognosis seems to be that they caught it in time.
No one is surprised. I literally predicted it.
Please don't reply to my threads in the future.
I don't have it. A friend of mine and my family is in for a looong battle.
It really truly does.
Just caught that Beaty blamed the players for his shitty call with Kendricks. Reminded me of Bruce Weber there. Throw those kids under the bus!
@KUSTEVE Or "Don't Worry, Be Crappy". :grinning:
@KUSTEVE Mangino, after his very first season had the team in bowl contention every year. There is no reason that can't happen again.
I'd still go after Dave Doeren if he wants to come.
Also...
WE AREN'T THAT MUCH WORSE THAN MICHIGAN, IT'S OKAY GUYS AND GALS. lol
@HighEliteMajor has hit on this before but KU needs to take a DIFFERENT APPROACH. OU is running this offense, so naturally teams in the league are going to be more prepared for it.
Triple option wouldn't be the worst. Or just a strong power running identity with a coach that understands oline play like Les Miles. Doesn't have to be Les specifically, obviously.
@kjayhawks Yeah, Nicholls more or less had control of the game and tried to piss it away.
chriz said:
Yeah Bender was okay. The o line was the issue. That's why we couldn't run the ball either. And a meh defense against a bad football team.
Beaty is a great guy but he's had way too much time not to do significantly better against a team like Nicholls. That's all there is to it.
It's pretty crazy that Nicholls was basically dominant in line play. Is the oline somehow even worse than last year?
This loss is most certainly not on Bender.
This program can make bowl games, there is no excuse.
Beaty said some shit after the game about mistakes in OT. I was thinking well, Nicholls gifted you this OT with ST mistakes soooo...
This is insane. Weis threw the program into the dumpster and somehow KU made a worse hire to follow that up. Amazing.
Turner Gill is sitting in Virginia laughing.
Perhaps he should go to a coaching level he is more suited for. High School or Peewee
27 days!!! Wash the taste of football away!!!
@jayballer73 I've got seats on my bandwagon fam.
Great news! Losing is still firmly in play.
:/ :(
@Texas-Hawk-10 I know I said under 3 wins, might have said winless too though.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark you counting your chickens🐥
We'd have to win by 11 for me to lose this bet. I feel pretty good about it still.
Just sitting here counting my #freemoney
OTOH KSU is now down 24-12 to South Dakota...
@Texas-Hawk-10 Old Balls won't let them lose to us. I just don't see it.
Anyone know wtf is going on in Manhattan? They are looking about as bad as us!

Rancid! I hope the basketball guys are better...
@Texas-Hawk-10 McSorley is not at all a good QB imo. Penn State was bailed out a lot by having Saquon last year.

Penn St. was incredibly lucky to survive today against App. St.
App State is FBS now if you didn't know. I was pulling for them because Penn State is awful.
