@approxinfinity I can say I like his scheme better. He was really the mastermind behind a lot of the motion and option stuff

Old man TD!

@kjayhawks and Grimes wasn’t the first choice. That was Matt Lubick, who’s currently at Nevada and was an analyst for us the last couple years while he battled Leukemia. Nevada was willing to wait until after spring ball, we weren’t.

@approxinfinity GOBBLE GOBBLE

@Crimsonorblue22 Ope, Mason Fairchild

@Crimsonorblue22 yeah they didn’t like how much we ran it and threw to Mase so much

@approxinfinity yeah, an additional factor was the WR group HATED how he used them. Like at least two, maybe all three main guys would’ve transferred

We did offer to match, money wasn’t the issue. Penn State is juuuust a little bit bigger program than Kansas 😅

Ah, the bellyaching has already started and we're still in the first week of official practices. We are SO BACK

I’m sure these guys know less than some rando at KPR 🐦 View Tweet?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

Sigh. It’s not true at all. The business terms are signed, sealed, and delivered. So there literally is a contract signed for us to play there all season.

The article literally spells out what’s in the signed agreement between KUAD and the Chiefs then has the headline of no contract. Really funny stuff.

@rockchalkjayhawk phased approaches are by far the most common, yes

3-1 Hawks!

6 Purdue tonight on ESPN+. Should be a good one!

@nuleafjhawk there's definitely a line between being tough and abusive. Mangino and Greggggg were canned for the latter. I read A Season on the Brink years ago, and wow did that was a trip. Some folks just aren't motivated by getting screamed at. This might be a hot take, but if you're a teacher of any sort you have to figure out how to reach and motivate each student/player. Some guys need tough love, but as Lance says you gotta be able to wrap your arms around them sometimes too. If you just get on guys all the time without building them up once in awhile you get the end of the Greggggggg era at WSU or the end of Mangino at KU. Things went off the rails because players got tired of their crap, didn't respect them, and played like it.

@nuleafjhawk eh, 2/3. It was the late 2000’s so we all had phones and it was a pretty mobile community. Lots of kids in and out.

Guys like Mangino and Gregggg were feared but not respected. That doesn’t fly today. Can’t keep people around when they don’t respect you and they have the freedom to leave. I played for a KS Sports Hall of Fame head coach and he rarely screamed at or demeaned anyone. You don’t have to be a raging prick to win.

Tait got the quote wrong as well, FYI

@nuleafjhawk Kareem Hunt is back with the Chiefs

@benshawks08 the clarification really helped

Make sure the ladies in your life stay safe, KC area folks

@kjayhawks well JD will be gone and I’ve been reliably informed he’s the worst QB we’ve ever had, kicks puppies, and causes global warming so just from that you should see improvement if the commentariat is to be believed

The real answer is ABC: always be cruitin. The portal will be our bff come January

Word is Z is coming down to the field, Grimes to the booth

@nuleafjhawk I knew you of all people would appreciate sarcasm, hyperbole, and other literary devices

@nuleafjhawk yes that would be the meaning of QB2

@nuleafjhawk because Ballard beat him out for the QB2 job

Ranked in the top 10! Are we a volleyball school??

@dylans yeah he had some terrific throws against a good defense. He largely stayed within himself, didn’t play too much hero ball until the 4th when we had to be one dimensional. The run game was non-existent and also DJ was really our only effective receiver

@wissox we have something in Chicago!

Caleb can ball. Especially impressive given WR2 is out and WR3 is on one leg

@Kcmatt7 yeah history matters A LOT for these things. We just don’t have it yet. We don’t disagree on this point but I did talk to some folks in the AD a week ago and seat demand at the new place is good. Which makes it so important to finish strong here. We need suites on the east side (and then some) to get this thing done right

@kjayhawks honestly I think ISU was always going to show out for that one. Those folks LOVE Kansas City

@Kcmatt7 oh you’re not wrong there. Kelly was right, our fans are fickle. For good reason but we miiiggggt get 45k to Arrowhead

@kjayhawks yeah, UNLV was getting AP votes and buzz for making the playoff.

I AM NOT SAYING THEY ARE GOOD LOSSES

But all is not lost.

@Kcmatt7 and to elaborate a bit, if you’re Lance and say hey we just have to go 6-6, you lose the team. It’s over. He’s got to be the one saying hey, we can still do this. Correct X,Y,Z and we’ll beat WVU. It also has the benefit of being true but you can’t dial back goals now. Thats a recipe for 09 redux

@Kcmatt7 it has to be. Win next week and we’re in as good a shape as anyone to win the league. That’s all that matters for that game. It’s cliche but learn what you can from the non-con then throw it out. Our goals are still achievable.

@kjayhawks I have to. My day job is policy/politics so I have to stay a little optimistic elsewhere or, as the great American philosopher Metallica said, “frayed ends of sanity, hear them calling me” lol

0-0 mentality folks. The Big 12 is a one big league and we can turn this thing around. /ducks

@kjayhawks he hasn’t had a great night. Time for redemption

That’s a bad play call

JD!

First down wooo

@wissox dang near had one!

Defense lfg

Cool I guess faking an injury is fine

D earning their keep here

@wissox just a running into the kicker is a 5 yarder so we declined it

@Texas-Hawk-10 the boos always crack me up there. Like yeah let’s dust off the ole pick up 22 play
