JCL doing exactly what he needs. Give us some buckets when we can’t throw it in the ocean from the dock
Old men ftw today
Clearly all we needed was checks notes Mitch Lightfoot to get going
Juan to the rescue
The people cry out for Jalen at the 5
OH MY GOD

Love that so many fans got to go for free. There are a lot of families who can’t afford to buy tickets for a game at Allen normally that are in the house today. Gonna be a lot of lifelong Jayhawks made today.
Bill said we’re going to have to play small in the second half. New year new Billy Eugene?
(Absolutely not)
Way to make up for the mistake!
JCL has no conscience
smol beans day
Atta kid Yes
Wait Jalen at the 5 works..? Well deck me with a feather
JALEN AT CENTER ALERT
Och what is you doin
Dave getting stripped for no reason. Drink!!
This lineup intrigues me
Bobby would be very useful rn
There’s JCL. Just needs some rhythm
Mitch “Wilt” Lightfoot
Jermaine Samuels is still at Nova?? Dude has been in college since the Carter administration
Gethro was in a very serious car accident and it’s touch and go. Prayers up.
@drgnslayr said in Holiday Belt-tightening:
I'm not a basketball coach, and dang sure not a HOF'r coach! I question things, but ultimately believe Self knows what he is doing. I read where all the bench receives PT in practice mixed with the A team. That must be the place where guys really earn their actual game PT. Even though Nevada hung around for some of this game, I never considered them a real threat. So we didn't have a necessity to run our top guys for 30+ minutes except for the fact that they all needed to knock off the rust. When Bobby returns, if he is healthy, I think he will add another "1/2" to my formula, so we actually run 7 deep in a game, with Bobby and Mitch equaling 1. Our bench beyond that is our backup if someone gets hurt.
Anyone seeing a different perspective? Someone breaking through later this season?
As long as 1-4 is playing as well as they are, no reason to go very deep into the bench except in garbage time. I still think JCL and Yes will win us a game or two we shouldn’t win in conference. Either can come off the bench and give you 9 in a hurry and change the game. The 5 spot will struggle all year. Dave and Mitch are what they are at this point.
That being said this team has another gear they haven’t really hit yet. We haven’t had a game where Remy, Och, Braun, and Dave all play well. Shoot, we haven’t had many where 3 of them play well. When they do, engage Joe Brady they can’t f* stop us dot gif*
@Crimsonorblue22 said in COVID Roll Call:
@FarmerJayhawk I had a nurse come in my room with her nose hanging out, I put on my kn95 mask, she said that I didn't have to wear it in my room. I asked her if she was vaxxed and she said, no, I told her I'd wear my mask then! Her whole frickening honker was out.
Ugh that’s awful, I’m sorry to hear that CB. My great uncle passed when I was home (not Covid related) and I absolutely masked up in the hospital. Thankfully the staff was as well. We’re lucky to have a very good County health officer. Probably TMI but he was the doc who delivered me!
All health care workers should be fully vaccinated or fired. There’s too much at stake to leave things to chance.
@Marco said in COVID Roll Call:
I'll reiterate, am pro-vaccine, but - that but not due to my already having Covid - I am also fluid. Is shutting down games or life, or going back to remote learning going to help us. The people who want the vaccine have but all already received it. So what, keep shutting everything down indefinitely? Yet another year of remote learning - alot of lazy teachers out there, just saying - will do massive damage to our student's education. And what would it gain? Not much. Punish the unvaccinated.
This is where I’m at more or less. Remote learning and the uncertainty about going back and forth is doing incredible damage to the most vulnerable kids. I’m also opposed to masking most kids in schools but that’s a different conversation. I think masks in exchange for vaccines is a really great carrot in this situation.
I’m finding it more and more difficult to feel sorry for the unvaccinated too. One family member told me over the last week he wasn’t vaccinated because “we don’t know which shots work.” Which… we do. Like really, really, really well. Moderna > Pfizer >>>>>>> J&J. And obviously get whichever you can ASAP.
@approxinfinity said in COVID Roll Call:
Man. I wonder if we just got punished here. Feels like omicron is everywhere and inescapable here. Sounds really nice @FarmerJayhawk
Probably. That’s the nice thing about living 90 miles from a Walmart or real airport. It takes a very long time for plagues to get there. My home county didn’t have their first Covid case until early summer 2020
Went home to the farm for about 5 days to see family. Got boosted but other than that didn’t take any precautions. Went to Christmas Eve service without a mask, visited my grandparents like normal, and didn’t do anything out of the ordinary unless I had to. It was soooo nice to live like it was 2019 again for awhile.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Colorado game Canceled game thread:
@RockkChalkk gross! I think there was a study done at KU for covid cases in kansas. Not to hard to find studies.
Conducted by my former econometrics professor, Dr. Ginther! She’s lovely, and a good teacher.
@approxinfinity said in Colorado game Canceled game thread:
@jayballer67 AFAICT the jury is still out. Hope it's milder.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Colorado game Canceled game thread:
I also found out that I have Covid again today. Felt like a cold, cold meds weren't really helping so I went and got a rapid test that came back positive and have a lab test on Thursday to confirm.
Yay to spending Christmas alone! At least I'll be out of isolation for New Year's Eve.
Damn. Be well soon, man.
It seems like we’re way overdoing surveillance testing of vaccinated players. The NFL players want to move away from it, and I think they have a good point. Otherwise we let this become a long term state of affairs which isn’t fair to anyone.
Yup. Fuck Covid.

KU gets hit with another transfer. And not where you'd expect it.

"The Transfer Portal...it's not just for revenue sports anymore"
I’m pretty sure volleyball has always had the one time transfer. Basketball and football were the outliers

He's not coming to Kansas. Illinois is beating us for players lately. Have to get a better NIL game.
The only way KU's NIL game changes is if it magically moves it's location
I think we can do better than involving the Baty brothers.
Pizza Hut and White Castle started in Wichita, right? While I realize that WSU is there, I mean come on, and originated in Kansas... Surely we could reach out to places such as those. Or the Sprint Center, etc.
For as much money as I spent at the Red Lyon and Pizza Shuttle back in the day I’d think they have the cash to do something
Hit a hundo in Russell earlier. My mom called me earlier this afternoon saying windows were getting blown out of buildings, power lines were down, and stuff was catching fire. Bad situation.
@jayballer67 I love him too. Not a lot of fluff, just a straightforward, no BS midwesterner. I could see a couple more HS kids if things fall right, but yeah they'll mostly be transfers from here on out. We'll keep recruiting until summer.
I would be FLOORED at this point if Prunty came back. Like head sewn to the carpet surprised.
All in all, I’m ok with what we got. It’s going to be a looooong 6 weeks making sure they all show up.
Third QB in the portal: Miles Fallin. I have a feeling he and Kendrick are just retiring, but since they’re in the portal technically we get extra initial counters.

@FarmerJayhawk Do we know why Vasko is rated so low/doesn't have any other big-time offers? Has the height and numbers. Seems like he has enough arm to play P5 football just watching a few highlights.
He was committed to ODU forever. Virginia also had a bunch of covid restrictions for high school sports so I think it was a matter of people just not getting to see him and being committed to a G5
Memphis is REALLY good on defense when they want to be. Up 18 on Bama

Oh Farmer , do you hear that ? - -you feel it ? - -Thinking there is a storm brewin -- and THAT storm is the Kansas Jayhawks baby lol - -not to far off in the distance a REAL storm brewing.. The days of marking a automatic W when you play the Hawks - - IS OVER PERIOD.
How good does it feel to have a competent Coaching staff that knows what the hell they are doing ? - A staff that reconizes the pieces they need and go out and answers those needs. Farmer were on the verge - -were on the verge not saying were there but Buddy were coming and coming fast.
I am stoked to say the least. -Michigan State - - Ohio State -- -Nebraska - - Buffalo - - Central Florida - - would these players even sniffed KU with previous staffs ? - -I think not this portal has been a huge g
game changer and 100 % benefited KU. Now I know were not gonna be contender this year BUT I think these other teams if they haven't already better be ready -cause we coming to give out some ass whuppins and not taking names
One question Farmer with all these new players in the Seconddary does Potter get squeezed out ? - - I hope not buddy, potter plays his ass off hope they give him the chance to retain his spot instead of just handing the duties over - - ROCK CHALK BUDDY bRIGHT DAYS COMING
I think Potter could be really good depth. Maybe he shifts back to outside LB.
hope they find a place. very quality player , would hate to see him transfer out
Mike Smith just decommitted so that’s a spot
