@kjayhawks Well they get that bye, but we get that same bye so they gain nothing. We play Tech on the 11th then we don't play again until the 25th So they aren't gaining anything on us there

@kjayhawks That's a really big line for K and now up to 12'5

@nuleafjhawk I'm not impressed. --the line has us as a 11.5 favorite---thats a lot for a KU team I don't think we will cover that BUT I think wwe should stii control this game

Like Brady was saying and I've heard from many others ----KC has NO vertical deep threat and no I'm not counting KC's last score as a deep threat.

With their personell they have to nickel and dime their way down a long field and that is not going to take to much time of the clock.
It doesn't help when officals give a good screwin twice in a row - - - -- That dam push tush needs to be stopped.- ---a lot of talk about Hill possibly coming back via trade --- KC better hope so

@Jhawk69 Oh I cam they sure ain't good they deserve all the trash talk- --even their fan base is talking a lot of crap on then I'm more then happy to contribute to the cause

@FarmerJayhawk if Arizona would of lost that game they would of had no one to blame other then their selves. The way they came out to start the 2nd half was sad. The punter just flat out dropped the ball got it blocked

O ther then 0ne play and the blocked punt-- --K/State in no way did they show they could move the ball the entire length of the field.-- -Johnson waas horrible he just made some really bad decisions turning small to moderate loss to HUGE losses, they are not a very good team right now- - -- --can't stop the run

Not sure how many Scholi's we are going to be available & the so called experts are saying 2026 is a weak class I still feel we are right on the cusp of a very good/solid class.

Didn't Kinney just visit here last month ? Coincidence that right after his visit here he cancels two scheduled visits and now Louisville which had been looked at as the perceived leader is recruiting a lot harder kind of backing off Kinney-- - kind of makes you wonder, now Kinney announced his commit date ? hmmm I like our chances.

Azira's connection with Coach Bland sure can't hurt I Feel good with him too- --Then if we could land Ethan, has made multiple visits 7'1 shot blocker getting better offensively- -that be a very nice trio

@TYOHawk I wany Kinney & Ariza for sure. I think the connection from Bland and Ariz is huge, with him Coaching him for two years can't hurt for sure---him saying he is coming for a visit very shortly after Bland was hired ought to say something

Happen to read on Kentucky Boards Joe Tipton from on 3 said that KU was once again making a big push on Stokes

@P-H-C I think Calderon is under rated , think he will more of a help then some of our own fans think. Coach hsa been really impressed with him, going to ne some more depth going to get quality minutes off the bench;

I have to agree, I think Lance electing to kick the ball on fourth and seven was the first time have to question his decision .What the hell are w doing kicking the ball on fourth and seven when we haven't stopped Missouri all day and yet we punt- - -- -terrible call.

I think this game showed us our defense has a lot of work to do , we are a very average team if our RB'S can't do any better sheesh..

--------------------------------------------- SEVEN HOUTS AND NINETEEN MINUTES TILL IT BEGINS
-------------------------------------------------------- TAKE NO PRISIONERS----- MUCK FIZZOU-----------WE ARE KU.-------------SO LET IT BE WRITTEN----------------------LET IT BE DONE-----------------------------ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY-----------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------KU-------34 -----------MUCK FIZZOU ------24

Here I sit on a Thursday Evening and just have ask is it possible that I'm more looney then the most looney tunes ? I just find it stunning yhat scores , and scores of the casual fan AND even supposedly KU fans don't think there is no chance in hell that we don't stand a chance against Missery Saturday.
I find it crazy to think that. yet every where I go , most pod casters saying Mizzou will win this handily. My thought on that is tje ones who think that-- - ----are the looney ones , what are you basing that on ?

The QB , sure had a good game Saturday but who did they play ?- -CENTRAL ARKANSAS Missouri did what they should of done beat up on a nobody- -- -just like KU. KU could of put up 60 on Wagner if they wanted to easily. Lets see how Missouri does that to another P-4. This QB wasn't even going to play until their starting QB Sam Horn got hurt- Id a quality QB ?- Sure he is , but dam we have played multiple good QB's what makes this guy so special

Missouri dtromg point is their D-Line pretty goof really get after the QB yet we have played really goof D=Lines before does anyone think Texasa- - - Oklahoma - -K/States D-Line aren't good ? We got a pretty dam good QB ourselves -- our D-Line is suppose to be our strength--- just surprises the hell out of me how many fair weather fans we got.

Is Missouri any better then the Schools I mentiond ?-- I don't think so. I just like to know why in the hell people think we have a chance-- - we got a good chance how about some positive and noyt so much gloom and doom- --ROCK Chalk

Oh my goodness Bill , you might want to re-think about this gig in College foot ball. Like I was watching this morning some fun facts about this game Bill.

You get a grand total of 22o yardds the entire game on offense. --After your pick me up rally speech at half- ---first play of 2nd half TCU runs 75 yards UBTOUCHED for TD.- -- at one point N Carol gives up 42 straight unanswered points FORTY ONE ! !

Yet the best one of all-- -N Carolina goes TWO HOUS 7 EIGHT MINUTES WITHOUT completing a single pass, NOT EVEN A LITTLE SCREED BILL TWO HOURS and eight minutes - --I'm so sorry Bill is it to late , do you have an escape clause TWO HOURS -- -BILL- -- -BILL- --BILL I'm so sorry = = psssst the hell I am lmao -that is one sad team with their 4 million dollar QC N Carol is pathetic

Boy the ladies sure having a rough go , just can't get over the hill.- - -Lost today and are now 1-3 on the Season , thing is every match we have played this Season has went the full FIVE SETS.- -KU has lost to the # 2- -- # 8- - --& # 12 teams in the Nation -- - - Penn State -- --Wisconsin --& Creighton ---long Season just have to remain strong and that they turn it around

Read where Ethan Taylor made a surprise visit to KU Friday, they weren't expecting him. Could be great ne for their recruiting him it said. Has unoffical before- --now came Friday and then has his official last of ?Sept can always hop I reckon another seven footer/

@kjayhawks K?Statte has issues , they are in trouble. Winning by three at home against N Dakota ? ?

I'm really excited about the future for our football. I will say right off the bat so others don't have to bring it up, yes I realize we not getting much if anything from this game last night- -well other then reps but we need to look at it this way - --we are now two and zero on the year Every win we get- - - -put that with our new stadium showing how much we want to invest , the more we are on TV , there is no way those things can be looked at but positive for us

you can already see it in the works- -we are getting bettr talent, better recruiting/recruit's -- --we are getting better recruits more interest , Coaching is solid-- -now getting more depth at multiple positions- think we are set in the QB room- running back is deep , I think Isiah is going to be really special before it's all said and done

I think our running back room is set up pretty nicely for the upcoming years

this very easily could of been sixty put on the Board for KU. really don't get a lot out of these except for some reps for experience for back ups , which is fine

I think Marshall is going to be special when it's his time , just hope he sticks it out not get frustrated behind Ballard.
KU with 631 yards of offense, we got a couple of vey good receivers with Henderson & Pickett

KU

@dylans Seen a pod caast with Michael Irvin last night and was just about to lose it lol

Cinn tied with Nebraska in 2nd qtr in Arrowhead

Green Baay just traded a 2026 - -a 2027 first round picks and pro bowler Kenny Clark for Michiah Parsons.- -Just solidified even more Green Bay being youngest team in NFL- -Clark is 30- -Parsons is 26. Hate losing Kenny fan favorite .

Analysts saying tonight this gives Green Bay the best Pass Rusher on one side and best run stopper on the other Parsons and Geary- -w will see. --Shows how much I have been paying attention , didn't even know anything possibly in the works. Dallas thought Parsons qas bluffing but had said he did not want to play for Jones anymore, Jones is a Bafoon

saw this pas along. two 2026 recruits to keep an eye on , first one is Trent Perry has KU in hid final four Schools KU- - -- N Carolina St- - - Maryland- ---& TCU- - -like our chances

Our other one is Darion Adkins, love our chances here too think it's going to down to Ku & Houston.- -Originally had six visits scheduled with his sux final Schools. Now has come out and said he had cancelled three visits and focusing on just the other three.

Originally his six schools were Auburn-- -- Rutgers -- - Houston--- Indiana- --& UCLA & KU- -now has Dropped Auburn-- -Indiana-- & UCLA , leaving just Houston-- -Rutgers-- & KU for final three fingers crossed

@approxinfinity For sure we WERE the better team for most that match

Can we be proud of our ladies even in defeat ? -- --I can , for as many new faces we have they did great. Being 100 % honest I thought we would gte swept by Penn St.- -Ranked # 2 in the Nation, our ladies took them the full five sets to beat us and the fifth set was 15-12. Thought the ladies reallt fought, 2nd game of the year , young , lots of newbies and still made Penn St play their ass off for the Match. No such thing as a moral victory and yet we got one.--- -ROCK CHALK LADIES your going to be fine

@AsadZ I think I'm going to like Pickett= == = like him a lot

@Texas-Hawk-10 agree, those are really about the only thing that if a person wanted to gripe about I think we had about eight holding calls or seeemed like it , although the TV commentators questioned some of those calls. Overall== = =I'll take it. I think before it's all said and done our defense is going to be pretty salty. Very aggressive, they fly to the ball, like last night DL play was solid

@kjayhawks I guess save some of those points for harder games lol

Bout the only thing I didn't like was wish we would of kept the foot on the pedal--- could of been worse, could off probably had 14 more actually but went into conservative mode. I know, I know, no need to take risks but just saying.
Only other thing I saw tonight needing work is cleaning up the penalties, but first game, that can be fixed

Both Iowa St and K State defense looks pretty stout. Offenses has some work to do

@stoptheflop Were gonna be just fine

@nuleafjhawk Missery ? -Or K/ Punk Straight /Street lol

@wissox Great pos /Great topics. I'm so glad you posted this, some seem to believe that our Basketball and Football are all that matters- - ---& that's fine I have no problem what so ever with that, & I'm right there with them However I started following the Volleyball team several years back and our Soccer a few years back and both represent KU very well

Mercy the Volley ball is very exciting some really athletic ladies , very talented. Just to fill you in on them the Volleyball was actually predicted to win the Big 12 last season and have been making the NCAA tourney pretty regular- - was ranked in the top 25 last year and pre-season like $ 12 or 13 this season they are good. - - New Coach this year after our Coach retired after like 26 yrs gonna be missed but we pulled the Oregon Coach away so don't think any let down as Oregon always has a good team also. They open play ?Saturday also at Like 3 o'clock right there somewhere I'm sure on ESPN Plus fun to watch , looking forward to it.

As far as the Soccer ladies , we actuall y made the NCAA tourney last year , and we won the Big Twelve Tourney, now there are some ladies that got some stamia I tell you one or two trips up and down the pitch I'd be done lol-- anothr really good team & yes opened with a 5-2 win- - Thanks for posting this really appreciated- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

I feel confident. I feel very confident, I'm telling you people are overlooking our boys and telling ya this our guys will have that chip on their shoulder.- -- ---- - I feel good about our skill positions & I think with Foste and corp will just get the job done.

Were gonna score for and at time score a lot. I think in this game with the environment hype with the Stadium , the fans it's goanna be hard for Fresno-- -and I STILL say we got Nine wins coming this year. --KU -38 -- - - Fresno St- - -- 21

@FarmerJayhawk mercy that's so encouraging to hear if people come through with those figures really helps a ton , puts us in a very good spot

@dylans said in KU received 300 million gift from donor.:

@SlimShaddy54 yes. Revshare is fully funded for a bit. I think some of the money was earmarked for academics too. gasp lol

Glory be- -Gasp , surely not lol

So the article says Mr Booth is allocating 75 Millon towards the Stadium, and the rest will b annually allocated I guess that could go to NIL if wanted/needed to lure football , basketball recruits rights ?

HOLY CRAP . Well I quess if there was any question about coming up with our funds to be able to complete Phase II- - - -there sure the hell ain't now --OMG. thank you MR Booth , all donations are greatly appreciated but mercy--WOW. that's a wrap boy's and girls

Nick Collison

@FarmerJayhawk That's really great news , and yet just because he has no restrictions doesn't mean he has to rush back at full throttle plus

Heard Coach Self talking on a podcast the other day I think it was CBS anyways they were talking to Coach and they were asking him about if he had any thoughts he might suggest to follow him. He said ya he had a couple of guys form his current staff that he could suggest.

One he mentioned was or is pretty well known and that was Jacque- - the other he mentioned from the staff was a complete surprise for me and that Name was Jeremy Case - -- WOW had no idea

I've heard some say Calderon shouldn't touch the floor= = == = and yet every time I hear Self talk or read things from Self he is constantly talking about how they have been really impressed with him and how he thinks he can really help the team

@Kcmatt7 All I keep hearing how crisp, JD-6 has looked. Really focused. I think some people are overlooking KU this Season , I hope JD and Henderson become lethal.--- I'm not shy I truly believe great chance for a Nine win Season.

@FarmerJayhawk Cool , thank you for the information. Love the Hill , I thought there was going to be some kind of seating but wasn't sure how many--- --Thank you.

@FarmerJayhawk They're suppose to close in the Soth end with seating aren't they ?

@dylans I 100 % love your sense of humor, that's why I like you lol. At first I thought you were serious lol , I thought Whoaaaaaa this guy been out in the sun to long == = == = then realized ahhh he just a joshing- --WHEW

Sunday was 97 for a high with heat index 114-- ----Monday was 98 degrees and heat index 116 - -& today was 98 with a heat index at 111 screw that here in Topeka

KU sports can't come fast enough so sick of this crap. -------TWENTY FIVE DYS TILL kickoff

Wow Coach was just dismissed from the Hospital on Saturday and now on Monday there he is on Monday having lunch with what they arre saying has a really good chance to be the rated big msn on KU campus yesterday. Jayon Keita a class of 2027 visited Ku yesterda, considered the Top big from the class 2027 looking like going to reclassify to 2025

considered probably top big man for 2027 or 2026- - -they haven't ranked him yet but all say is for sure the Big man in class . Seven footer can cover a lot of ground a very , very elite rim protector has a right hook to Score, people believing in re-class . was at KU yester other schools Indiana , Duke , N Carolina , U Conn , Kentucky one sure way to tell the kid has the Goods and probably going to make a quick decision on where he will play in 2026 --oh ya averaged 4 blocks a game --elite.
