I'm sworn to secrecy as far as pictures go, but got some views of the corners, floor, and scoreboard at AFH. Circus font is EVERYWHERE, the corners and scoreboard are.. fine? Overall some good upgrades in the concourses
There's already been some pictures leaked of what everything looks like.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Where to Watch. Hint: ESPN+ (still sucks):
I think we are still waiting for the full TV schedule to come out.
But, rest assured, ESPN+ finds a way to spread out the games so you need it all season.
The Arkansas scrimmage may very well end up on SEC Network and not ESPN+ since it's in Fayetteville and that game will have a lot of interest since it's Calipari's first game with Arkansas.
The Washburn game will for sure be ESPN+. The non-conference games with a strong possibility of being ESPN+ games are Howard, Oakland, UNC-Wilmington, Furman, and Brown. That gets KU to 6 games, leaving 4 Big 12 games on ESPN+. The Big 12 games that seem most likely to me to end up on ESPN+ would be the WVU game in AFH, UCF in Orlando, at Cincy, and I could see the Colorado game in Lawrence, the Utah game in SLC, and the BYU game in Provo. Not all of those will, but I'd bet the 4 come from that group of games.
@nuleafjhawk Depends on if you have ESPN+ bundled with Disney Plus and Hulu. The non-ad free version of that bundle is $15 per month currently (basically $5/month for each channel) and the ad-free version is $25/month currently. That's not a terrible deal for 3 platforms, especially if there's already stuff on Disney and Hulu that you watch.
A Disney+ subscription by itself is $8/month for the ad version and $13/month for the ad free version. Hulu is $8/month for the ad version and $18/month ad free. ESPN+ by itself is now $11/month. If you watch anything on more than one of those platforms, it makes zero sense to not pay for the bundle and get all three.
If you're paying $120, it's likely a one time payment for whatever you're subscribed to for the year and is likely the bundle with all 3 of D+, Hulu, and ESPN+.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I think the defense is mostly to blame for last nights loss. I just don’t get how you get so pissy when a coach’s is from Texas that has struggled and gets called out. Cobee without question should’ve been smart enough not do that tho I see more physicality at my daughters ballet lessons. Watch a couple of Grimms catches on the sidelines and tell me he isn’t shoved several yards out of bounds considerably harder. It was silly mistake and an even sillier penalty. If you are going to throw penalties for hand fighting they probably missed at least 50 penalties last night. The inconsistency is the issue there, the commentators said the exact same thing. Several plays they let that go so I guess I’m at least not the only blind idiot. As stated the defense has several starters out due to injuries and returned only 5 guys. If you would remove your face from Grimes groin area. You would see that this team has one the best WR and RB rooms in the conference with a line that is rated top 5 in the same conference by PFF. Every talking head locally and nationally has talked of Grimes stupidity this year. But once again everyone is stupid but @Texas-Hawk-10. Grimes is a god and we are lucky to have him.
Cool, Jeff Grimes is 100% to blame for KU being 1-5 and I apparently can't take his dick out of my mouth because I don’t think he has any part in KU being 1-5 this year. It's also apparently Jeff Grimes fault that the defense has given up 55 points in the last 2 minutes of halves this season. It's also Jeff Grimes fault when he passes late in games when they were actually running plays.
The defense has zero blame on them for anything this season because @kjayhawks says the refs are biased against KU, the defense lost a couple of starters, and KU didn't run the ball enough.
Did I sum that up right @kjayhawks?
It couldn't possibly be that Jeff Grimes is only part of the issue could it? No possible way that Daniels shitty play led to opposing defenses loading up against the run therefore limiting play calling options because Daniels would either take a sack and fumble or stare down Grimm and throw a pick. No possibility of Andy Borland taking any blame for his defense giving up 55 points in the last two minutes of a half including TD's right before the half in 4 straight games. No possibility of Borland's defense taking any blame for blowing an 11 point lead with 3 minutes left.
No possibility any of the above has contributed to KU being 1-5 because according to @kjayhawks, Jeff Grimes is the worst OC ever and I can't get enough of sucking his dick since he's the real football expert here.
@kjayhawks Hear me out on this in regards to Cobee pushing the guy because it's a very radical idea that I don't think has ever been tried before, DON'T FUCKING TOUCH AN OPPONENT WHEN HE'S OUT OF BOUNDS!!! It was a stupid fucking play and Bryant has cost KU several times on drives this year because of not controlling his emotions.
At what point does the defense get any of the blame for KU being 1-5 now? In the least 2 minutes of a half, KU has been outscored 62-7 this season. The defense is directly responsible for giving up 55 of those points. How many fucking times can the offense put the defense in a position to win the game before the blame for these losses shifts to the defense? KU has led with 2 minutes left in 3 of the 5 losses. At some point, Borland and defense need to be held accountable for not being able to keep the opponents out of the endzone at the end of halves.
This doesn't absolve the offense of their share of the blame because Daniels and Grimes get the majority for the Illinois and TCU games because they were both bad in those games.
Can anyone realistically say the defense doesn't deserve the majority of the blame for the losses to UNLV, WVU and tonight?
@kjayhawks said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree Cobee had a bad game and some mental errors but 2 of his penalties were pure garbage IMO. He as a senior has to be much smarter than he was. Oddly enough if they called Qs catch incomplete we prob use another minute and win the game. We are back to every thing that can go wrong will for us.
None of the calls on Cobee were bad. The PI probably could've been a hold instead, but it's still an automatic first down either way. He's committed so many stupid penalties this season that he's a liability at times for KU.
@kjayhawks said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
@jayballer67 I’ll give Brian a little bit of a break in the defense because they have played good enough to win every game but the last 2. That’s dealing with some key injuries and only having 5 returning starters. The defense looked better when healthy IMO.
Stop making excuses for Borland. His unit has been handed a late lead in all but 1 loss and can't hold and hasn’t any of them. At some point, Borland and the defense have to be held accountable for their shit play to end the first half and inability to hold late leads.
@wissox said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
@Texas-Hawk-10 Did you really think he was serious?
As much as he complains about Grimes and his response, yes. @kjayhawks hatred of Grimes is on par with another person's hatred of Dejuan Harris.
@kjayhawks said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
@FarmerJayhawk yep we just said they are wearing down been on the field all half. I honestly think I’d be a better OC than Grimes with zero experience. If you told me this was his first year coaching I’d a 100 percent believe. Either way glad to have the 6
Bullshit on that, nobody here would be anywhere close to a P4 level coordinator because there is so much more that goes into that job than play calling.
Vandy's students marched the goal post down Broadway in Nashville before dumping it in the Cumberland.
Washington over #10 Michigan in Seattle and Minnesota over #11 USC in Minneapolis.
Stop doing stupid shit Cobee, that's 40 yards in penalties tonight now.
@approxinfinity said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
We had a timeout right? Throw it deep.
After that botched kick return, kneeling it was the right call.
@Gorilla72 said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
Am I right? KU has given up a touchdown in every game in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half?
All but 1 game.
Thanks Cobee
@wissox said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
That the way ASU gonna play? That was a little bit dirty there.
It was, but KU shouldn't have had anyone within 10 yards of the ball at that point.
Can we please spy the QB?
@approxinfinity said in ASU game - KU’s Conference Win Streak Starts Here:
You guys ready? Lets score first and score often then weather the meltdown.
Which meltdown? Temperature at kickoff is 106° in Tempe.
Vandy now up 12 with about 5 minutes left on #1 Alabama.
Major upset brewing in Nashville right now. Vanderbilt currently up 9 with about 3 minutes left over #1 Alabama.
@nuleafjhawk The final is going to be a whole hell of a lot closer than 28 points. Probably a one score game either way.
@nuleafjhawk You saying KU will lose by 28 tonight is you show a lack of knowledge, information, or awareness about KU football this season, is literally the definition of ignorant.
Please enlighten all of us as to what evidence there is that KU is going to get beat by 28 points tonight by an Arizona St. team comingoff a loss to Texas Tech?
@nuleafjhawk said in Not Trying To Be A Richard:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I swear I love KU. I WANT them to win. But after watching Houston/ TCU last night, I threw in the towel.
I have ASU by 28 tonight.
What exactly has ASU done to make you think KU loses by 4 TD's? None of KU's losses, 3 of them to much better teams than ASU, came down to the wire. Despite all the flaws of this team, nobody has been able to blow KU out this season and ASU won't be the first.
If you genuinely think KU loses by 28 tonight, then you really haven't paid any attention to this team or are just completely ignorant about football.
@nuleafjhawk said in Not Trying To Be A Richard:
@approxinfinity If I may be serious for a moment - who do you see as a potential win for us?
None of KU's losses have been blow outs. They've all been competitive games that pretty much came down to the end of the game. There's no dominant team in the Big 12. BYU, Utah and KSU look like the best teams, but none of them are unbeatable. The Houston game might the only one KU is favored in, I don't see KU being a double digit underdog except maybe the KSU game. KU is good enough to win any game they play if they can clean up some of these mistakes they're making that have cost them. Despite all the issues of this team, this team is only a handful of plays from being 4-1 or even 5-0 so there's not a legitimate reason to write KU's chances off in any remaining game this season as a loss. ASU is only a 2 point favorite right now.
@kuballin10 said in Basketball Season:
@Texas-Hawk-10 Shakeel in our system could be more efficient offensively
If Shakeels per is better than harris’ and Harris has been in our system 5 years….what does that say about Harris
Coach loves him yet he’s the 6th or 7th best pg in our league
It says Harris has always been pass first player because PER punishes players who don't take a lot of shots. 15 is considered an average PER, Moore's is 14 for his career and Harris is 13. It's not that big of a difference and both are still below average on the offensive end and more know for their defense than their offense.
Tell me what it says about Shakeel Moore that he could never lock down the starting PG job for a mediocre Mississippi St. program and couldn't find a starting PG job at another P4 program once he entered the portal.
@Gorilla72 said in The JD Redemption Story:
@Texas-Hawk-10 - Even though they gave up a lot of yards in the first 30 minutes, it was close at half. Inept offense in the 2nd half let it get out of hand (although a couple of calls that could have gone KU’s way might have changed everything). I would have to see the splits by half though.
Both sides of ball sucked today. The defense gave up damn near 300 yards in the 1st half.
@Gorilla72 said in The JD Redemption Story:
@Texas-Hawk-10 - KU offense didn’t do enough to stay on the field. Thus, the defense was gassed. Still looks like the O takes most of the blame, IMO.
Explain the defense sucking in the first half then? Both sides of the ball absolutely sucked today.
@kjayhawks said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree to a point but we also have too often on 2nd/3rd down with 2 yards or less to go passed the ball twice. I believe it happened 3 times again today. I think this one was really a team loss. Special teams gave up a score, offense couldn’t score from inside the 6 and the defense gave up huge plays all day long. I’m all in on benching JD
KU threw the ball on 2nd or 3rd and short (3 yards or less) literally three times total in the game today. The first time was the second play of the second half on a 2nd and 3 and was a 12 yard completion to Arnold. The other two times were KU's final possession with no timeouts left when running the ball makes no sense whatsoever.
KU's other short yardage plays were a hand-off to Neal for 12 yard on KU's second play of the game on a 2nd and 1. On KU's second possession the only short yardage plays was a 2nd and goal from the 2 that resulted in a Devin Neal TD run. That's it for the first half. Other short yardage plays in the second half were all running plays. Hishaw got the carry on a 3rd and 2 that resulted in a TD from TCU's 8. Last play of the 3rd quarter was a 7 yard Hishaw run for a first on a 3rd and 3.
The facts do not support your claims and if you think I'm bullshitting you, go to ESPN and look at the play by play and tell me when KU threw the ball on a 2nd or 3rd and short in a situation where it didn't make sense to.
UNLV absolutely destroyed Fresno St. 59-14 without Sluka. They still look like a strong contender for the G5 playoff spot.
@kjayhawks said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
@Texas-Hawk-10 it’s both Grimes play calling hasn’t been worth a crap either. I’m just asking to change one of them and see what happens.
We've seen KU move the ball effectively in the 1st half of games this season which is a sign Grimes is a competent play caller. When you have a QB that's not effective and receivers not making simple plays, that allows opposing defenses to load up to stop Neal and Hishaw which in turn limits what Grimes can call because defenses aren't worried about anyone other than Neal and Hishaw.
I'm not calling Grimes an all world OC, but he is competent and did win a Big 12 title as a play caller title 3 years ago. Firing him 5 games into a season and installing a new offense doesn't magically fix the issues Daniels has been having this season. Daniels reads and situational awareness have been terrible this season so benching him would give KU the better chance to salvage something this season.
If Grimes were to be fired tomorrow like you want, who on the current staff gets promoted to that job and how does that address the issues Daniels has had this season?
@kjayhawks said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
The question becomes at what point do we make a change at either QB or OC? Like I said doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result is insanity. We can not win games with the JD and Grimes combo against FBS competition. It’s been proven at this point.
Daniels is the bigger issue at this point. His passing issues have severely hindered the running game in the second half of games.
@Kcmatt7 said in The JD Redemption Story:
And before anyone tries to blame the D today. They created 4 TOs and only gave up 28. Did their part.
Defense still gets plenty of blame today because they still gave up over 500 yards and couldn't get a stop when needed. This isn't absolving Daniels and the receivers besides Grimm because they were absolutely terrible today too. Neither side of the ball was good enough today.
@patoh3 said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
Was that pass on JD or Grimes? Probably both. I am ready to see Ballard.
100% on Daniels. Every route but that one was past the sticks.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
We know this comeback can be done because West Virginia did it last week.
But I doubt Daniels can do it because if I'm TCU, I'm doubling Grimm and singling or zoning everyone else.
We know this comeback can be done because West Virginia did it last week.
@DCHawker said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
Tackling is atrocious....
Defense is done. TCU has pretty much had the ball the entire time since KU's first drive of the second half.
Hishaw, Neal, and Grimm are the only three guys on offense having a decent day.
That needed to be a pitch
Daniels has been bad, but his receivers outside of Grimm haven't given him much help today either.
@AsadZ said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
KU has been out of rhythm for a while on offense
Need to get some run game going
It's the lack of passing that's the issue. TCU has loaded up against the run because they're not respecting KU's passing game now. If the passing game was more effective, that would open up the running game.
Skinner damn near coughed that one up. He just doesn't have great hands.
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU taking on TCU a must win - -must , must win:
Another brutal no call too
Skinner still should've caught that one.
Catch the damn ball Skinner!!!
Shocked refs haven't flagged Lance yet.
How the hell do you miss that call?
That was a block in the back
And it's the "bullshit" chant
Is the crowd going with a "bullshit" or "fuck you refs" chant?
Hopefully this is a call stands situation though.
