Joes was an institution.
@kubuckets said in Kansas men's basketball players make 'statement' that NIL opportunities can benefit more than just Jayhawks' bank accounts:

They should be applauded for their generous donation. Just another reason to love these guys, and love this program.

More FYI'S - - KU is 3 - - -0 - - against the spread this year. - -AND there is 131 programs FCS ? - -131 programs and there is only three schools in the Nation that haven't given up a sack. Who are they ? - - no cheating lol
Oregon is one of them.
@wissox said in Just Beat Duke, OK!:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I don't know anything about sports gambling but why does KU-8 make us the favorite?
Minus = favorite. + = underdog. That means Dook gets 8 points added to their total points for the bet. If KU wins, for the bettors to win the bet, they must win by a margin of over 8 points. Anything less than 8 points means those who bet on Dook wins.
oh. so this is what it feels like when you have a good football team. nice!
Where does football hang the banner?
Great 1st half. Folks, we got a football team!
...and preseason some of our fans wanted us to cancel the Houston game because they were too good.
BOOYAH!

Daniels is the best thing since Todd Reising
He's the real deal. We got a hell of a qb...
The first place Jayhawks with another comeback...yes, first place in the B12!
Boom!
4-10 won't get you the Nebraska job. They have fired guys for 9 win seasons.
I was hoping they would talk themselves into keeping him again. Poster child for legacy hires.
As great of a week as we've had, our exes sure took it on the chin this week:
NEBRASKA: LOSS
MISSOURAH: LOSS
TEXAS A &M : LOSS
COLORADO: LOSS

Nice blurb on ESPN:
Saturday marked the 110th consecutive time Kansas was an underdog in a Big 12 game, a streak dating back to 2009 -- three years before West Virginia joined the league. But there's progress in shifting public opinion. Saturday's 14-point spread was actually the lowest for Kansas in a conference game since 2009, too. And what happened? The Jayhawks won outright, knocking off West Virginia 55-42 in overtime. (Yes, you read that right. Kansas added a pick six in OT to become the rare two-score victors outside of regulation.) Kansas has now covered four straight as a Big 12 underdog, including two outright wins -- Saturday and last season against Texas. (Sorry, Texas. We didn't need to pour salt on your wounds but it's just so funny.) They're the first team to win by 13 in OT since Central Michigan defeated Eastern Michigan 36-23 in 1998.
The KC Star dubs them " The Explosive Kansas Jayhawks". I can dig it...
What a GREAT game!!!
2-0...
BOOYAH
would be a nice time for a fumble...
go for it!
and we have time on the clock
no guts no glory
Go down and score and the Hillbillies are done.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Beat WVU:
If we pull this off, Leipold needs to get an extension...right now.
Another one!
Give him another year!
If we pull this off, Leipold needs to get an extension...right now.
BOOYAH!
Let's get a stop!
Wow...great comeback. That's a bowl game offense...
BOOM!
ouch. missed tackles...
Daniels put our team on his back and willed that drive. GREAT drive!
TD
FAIRCHILD!
We're looking better... Clutch catch, JC...
No bueno so far, but it's early. Keep trying, guys.
@stoptheflop said in 2,357 Wins:
Now our program gets to feel the pressure of the hounds at our heels; 4 wins ahead of Kentucky and 34 wins ahead of NC. Coach Self is amazing: I remember when KU was third in wins. What a great run.
We have a national championship banner to hang, we just took the overall lead away from the dreaded Mildcats, and we have the best coach in college basketball. I wouldn't call that pressure.
@drgnslayr said in We're the best:
I hardly recognized that list!
Fans need to know about places like The Wheel -
Go on in and meet the infamous "Knobbie!" Great place to go before games!
This place is full of history... once the employer of John Riggins, and his long-time hangout even after his pro career.
Many infamous stories of Riggins around Lawrence, like at The Wheel... hauling full beer kegs over his shoulder, up the hill, carrying all the way from The Hawk.
You don't become an official "Wheel member" until you've had too much alcohol on an icy evening and slip down the concrete stairs.

I remember visiting there and going downstairs, where they had a pool table. There were 5 or 6 people down there, and somebody lit up a joint. I couldn't believe it. This would've been 1979. I went right back upstairs- didn't want to get busted!
