Lot of strategy about a punt
Kendrick in
31 yd td pass wide open
Nine punts so far!
Good field position after a penalty on punt return. See what happens
Bender did start. Looks bad
Espn plus stream is crap. Jerky to the point of unwatchable.
@kjayhawks Meh. Haven't heard anything new except without a couple wins he's probably fired after the WVU game... which is not news. Gives the interim coach two weeks to prepare.
My inside sources are professors (and some retired profs), so take the info for what it's worth! (not much).
To me and regular LFK peeps, it just feels like Gill's last year when he was getting blown out by 50 points, the team looked like the bad news bears, there was no hope in sight, and everyone just wanted to see him gone.
Kendrick looked great the one full series he had. If Sims didn't drop the pass that hit him in the hands, he would have been 3-3 (big gain) and it's a different ballgame.
Bender was horrible the second half, but so was the play calling and blocking, so I could probably only really blame Bender for about 1/3 of his flubs. I expect Beaty and Bender will go down together in a ball of flames.
Companies have their finger on the pulse of America better than politicians do. Particularly younger generations. I thought the Serena Williams campaign was really good, but this takes it up another notch.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think just not having Beaty on the sideline would be a boost
@BShark I'm rooting against you man
Best two plays of the night!
@Texas-Hawk-10 sounds about right. No point firing after tonight no matter how much he deserves it
Hurray special teams. Please don't put bender in
Nope first down and the crampfest continues
I'd take a turnover by Nichols here
Punting?
Hmm. Flags on the ugly hotel are blowin
Same here in Lawrence. Walked the dog at halftime and there isn't even a whisper if a breeze
There is no wind
Bender is in zombie mode
Special teams actually playing decently
Is tonight too soon?
@justanotherfan I agree
Nice break with that bad snap
I'm watching it on midco cable kmcid whatever that is. Jayhawks sports network
@Crimsonorblue22 yes
Train wreck
This broadcast is so bad they keep the stadium nat sound going over the commercials
I'm going to have to mute this broadcast. Sounds like a kindergarten class playing inside a silo.... ok thanks, they fixed it
@Crimsonorblue22 you covered a lot of ground there. Not boring
I've gotten my criticisms out of the way. Let's go!
This broadcast is horrible too.
Hate to say it so early, but we look terrible so far
Relax, manly men. This center and their programs have been around for a long time. It's not a college course.
If you are concerned about what's going on at KU, I seriously encourage you to go to a symposium or sit in on a few classes--the students are f-ing amazing and the reality is far, far different from what's distorted by some media sources.
@dylans Dude. Royals are 4-1 since I took my mom to her first ever game. This has been literally the best week of the season!
She's semi-modestly accepting credit for it too.
I hope he can come back. He's pretty tough. His senior season at KU, basically I only watched the KU games to see him play. Hard to believe he was a running back at Hutch!
@Crimsonorblue22 We stayed! It was a pretty long game with the water delay and with Peralta taking 5 minutes between pitches in the ninth (he got out of the jam though, so I suppose it was worth it!). Stayed for the Salvy Splash and fireworks.

Great first-game experience for my mom, and I was glad it ended up being a sort of memorable "historic" game with the water leak and the back-to-back rookie homers to win it in the ninth.
Pretty funny, several times on the way to the ballpark my mom expressed concern about getting hit by a foul ball. I kept telling her there was a net, we were right behind it, and you're not going to get hit. Wouldn't you know, the very first batter fouled one straight up and over the net and it landed about three rows in front of us. I got quite the "you betrayed me/I'm SO disappointed in you" look. So I changed my story and said, "well, you won't get hit in the face, maybe just the top of your head." My wife added, "plus, it's the broken bats you really have to worry about."
@dylans I've been to old and new Busch many times. Old was horrible, even after they put in grass and fixed the outfield. The new one looks pretty but it's a miserable place to be on hot sunny days because there are hardly any seats to get under the upper decks. Nice big seats for fat butts down in the lower level though.
Being right downtown makes every ballpark/stadium better too, Wrigley is so easy to get to on the train it's just as fun as being downtown anyway.
OK... I'm off to the K!
@wissox Sox ballpark has the worst NAME for sure!
I'm going to see the Royals, possibly the worst team in the history of baseball, Friday night. I'm taking my mom for her 75th birthday, who has never been to any major league sporting event. I figure it will be a good representation of what I've endured most of my life growing up in Illinois as a Cubs fan and then following the Royals the past 20 years when I moved the KC area. (Other than a four or five tragically promising years and two good ones, it's been pretty bad!)
Got cheap seats 10 rows behind the Royals dugout, and it's fireworks/buck night. Should be fun!

I love this one
Oh.... WOW. I guess I missed it when Carole King was honored. That was literally the best thing I've seen online in the past few months. Thanks!
I keep checking this thread occasionally to see if HEM in dropped the N word yet. Nope. Uses "kneelers" instead.
@jayballer73 sorry man. 68 is way too young.
I guess I was the only one to read the first posts before they were edited.
Maybe you should take a semi-regular dump and you wouldn't be so full of shit?
Jesus. The poor white male snowflake getting attacked relentlessly by meanie liberals.
It has not been a fun summer in Kansas. Several days over 100. Stuck in a high pressure system for two months. No typical Kansas breezes.
102 and humid today before this freaky front blew through in 10 minutes before heading SE to nail the Ozarks.
Don't have to climb up to trim the dead limbs off the pin oak in the back yard now though. :-)
