Ochai getting no preseason minutes for Utah, but 36-year-old Rudy Gay getting 25 minutes off the bench. Why?

Pretty sad when the last pick of the LOTTERY i the most recent draft not getting any minutes - - something smells , either he has had just an incredibly bad workouts/practices with the team OR Utah being Utah- piss poor clum/organization - -I choose the later

Or, they know that Victor Wenbayama is available in the next draft, and they want to lose as many games as possible to get a chance at the first pick. Vegas has them at 23.5 wins for the year. Maybe Och gets a lot more run next year, when they actually try to win.

Maybe that's if he is still with this sad organization next year. - -Knowing them probably trade Och - -would be best news possible for him

Bruce has re-appeared- -Squeaks will be on the BIG 10 Network doing TV work - -not sure if commentary or what - - BUT YIPPEE

Oops! Meant Josh Donaldson. Nice to see he got thrown out AGAIN while doing a home run trot that was not signaled a home run by the umpires. Ball hit the top of the right field wall, and bounced off a vendor's Bud Lite tray sitting on the wall and a fan's finger before falling back to the fielder. Prob should have been called a double but ass-uming when the ball is in play is dumb dumb dumb.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

That's about a worst case scenario for Daniels. Thankfully Bean is a more than capable option that won't change much for KU's approach and play calling.

Agreed and maybe possibly on the run option actually I think they say Jason a little faster then Jalen but Jalens arm gonna be missed for sure

I'm sure Jason will be quite adequate as the starter in these games. - -The OU fans are in a stew anyways and helped us to remember it was Mr Bean that was really quite close to beating OU'S ASS LAST YEAR , and OU was for sure better last year. - -They worried about Jason saying he was the one who about beat that ass in Lawrence. Nothing we can do about Jason so we roll with what we got

OU fans thinks the team has quit on their game this year. - -As for me I look for Oklahoma to come out all fired up . I think they will be out to prove they not done - -but I'm ready to roll with Jason - - what else can you do - -just back the guy , let him know we behind him that's all

One way to look for positives out of this. - -Look at it this way TCU had 454 yards of offense today against us for the game. - - TCU had 471 yards of offense in the 1st half against Oklahoma

@AsadZ said in JUST BEAT THE TCU LIZARDS:

We need Hishaw back sooner rather than later

your not gonna see HiShaw anymore this season

Gotta hope Jalen is ok

Now we got to get ready for Oklahoma-- -big test - - Texas just beat their ass 49-0 - -Oklahoma gonna be all fired up 55-14 last week - - 49-0 today dam

Well , look for positives - - gues in years past this would of turned into a rout. - - 540 yards of offense for us

A lot of time - - A lot of time left, scary , and leaving 10 points on the field.- - -Defense has to make a stand - - - -Couldn't of ask much more from Bean. Suprised by his passing a little today , pretty decent

that dang referee would make one hel of a receiver lol

when is the last time we have had a reliable place kicker - -dam

@FarmerJayhawk said in JUST BEAT THE TCU LIZARDS:

The Jason Bean Experience

I like Beans

dAM NOW WE HAVE A SHOOT OUT - - sKINNER CELEBRATION COSTING US FIELD POSITION THOUGH

• • • • • • WELL - - --- WELL - - - DAM

funny sometimes how a injury can pull a team closer together. - -You can just see the confidence growing , Jason has come in done well 1st couple of drives - -Defense showing up just need to keep going

I'm liking this aggressive D -- more and more, they really starting to come around

Well you can't ask for much better then that

Defense gonna have to carry us-- -hope for some breaks

Wouldn't be surprised if Daniels doesn't have a shoulder sprain

ya I think Daniels is DONE

Dammit

that's a back breaker right there. 99 yards. we goin in and Jalen fumbles and BAM

This defense is getting better

Our offense has got to get their crap together. TCU defense ok, but NOT all that great -Jalen needs to make better reads

Jalen making bad reads - -we can't keep counting on the defense to shut down thuis offense

Just curious how much w see of Ky Thomas today -would be nice to see some solid production from another back

@Kcmatt7 said in 2 KU football players arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault:

Trevor Wilson’s case dropped.

Will be interesting if the staff brings him back.

Will be interesting , I think if case is dropped then why not? - -there has to be a REASON WHY it was dropped. - not founded ? - -not enough evidence ? - -what ? - - - -got to be a reason why it was dropped -so bring him back.

Jayhawk fans showed up well on the hill

@jayballer67 said in What's Leipold worth?:

Sorry I'm just not feeling Lance on going anywhere. - Agree have to re do the contract , read in one place where they are trying to work on a contract that would make it very hard for another School to Poach Coach and also trying to work on the contract that would lock him in for the rest of his Career.

Yet another interview with Coach. -Every time I hear Coach talk just so impressed he just ooozes class very calm too demeaner. - This interview was with Mike Golic Jr on Go Jo. - Coach said to clear the aire and to tell the world how happy he is in Kansas - - he says the more of these ( interviews ) you do , the more you get asked.

Coach said Anyone who looks at my career our Career as a staff is- - were not people who have jumped around. We've gone through , we are EXTREMELY HAPPY here in Lawrence

We came to Lawrence to build a program for consistency - NOT for a quick stop. We expect to be here for a long time.

Now as a lot of people would say well that is a typical Coach response at this time - -yes that's true , you wouldn't expect any othe kind of answer at this [point , he sure would say right now OH well I'm gone after this year - - -I'm out. - BUT there is something about Lance - - I think he is truly sincere when he says this - Sure the Admin is going to have to re-structure his contract , which I've heard is in the works - -Our Ad has already said he is making sure that people know how important this is to us. - I just don't think he is leaving.

You never can tell what the future brings, but it sure seems he values being the head coach of KU. I agree in thinking he's not going anywhere anytime soon. Listening to the guy, I hear the honesty in his voice when he talks. We didn't just get a great coach- we got a great man.

Very well said. kinda the way I think - -he just sounds like every time I listen to the guy - - -just impressed

Coach is what now pay wise 3 mil ? a year - -2.5 ? - - wonder if they re structured and settled in a 5 mil a yr - -think that would keep him in place if they could offer that ? - and extension in yrs additional say 3 years additional - would that lock Lance into us ? - - - -Cause I'm sure that could happen if it would

@BeddieKU23 said in Late Night:

@jayballer67

Didn't include him since he released a Top 2 without KU in it recently

oh ok , hadn't seen that - -so makes no sense for him to come here lol

@BeddieKU23 said in Late Night:

Shaq the entertainment.

Bobby is dealing with another nagging issue, this time a hamstring. I really don't think you can expect much from him with the amount of time he continues to miss. Hasn't been a full go in practices yet. Will be interesting to see if he suits up in the scrimmage.

No idea what recruits are coming just yet. I did see KU is interested in getting 2024 Big John Bol & 2025 5 star Mikel Brown on campus from Sunrise. I'd imagine the list will expand as we get closer

One recruit that I read will be there is Dennis Evans is suppose to visit for late night

Was talking with a friend and he haad heard of a radio Station that KU has asked Coach what he was looking for what he needed - -Coach said that he want money for NIL'S - -& he talked about the Stadium being upgraded.

I can imagine they said on the spot - - - DONE - I mean they already know how badly the Stadium needs major , major remodel - -NILS only make sense , I feel whatever Coach asks for they will try and do all possible to make it happen.

Seen some of the things that Coach Self said about their practices so far - - Said that Grady - -AND Jalen were both shooting extremely well - - lights out , but he also mentioned that had to get consistency from the outside

@FarmerJayhawk said in Stadium:

@jayballer67 I like their stadium a lot. The view of the downtown skyline is pretty cool. My favorite design is Washington’s. I love how they ripped out almost all end zone seating and built it like a canyon. Imagine the hill and Campanile instead of the lake. Perfection.

!alt text ↗

That would be sweet. - Heard some people aying they don't want the End Zone blocked in a blocking the view of t he hill. - Mn TOS is on fire tonight just burning with things

Farmer I'm sur you seen it , but seen a couple of pics out there from TOS one was like Minnesota Stadium - - not sure about you but I liked the looks of that myself. - -Did you see it ?

@FarmerJayhawk said in Stadium:

Could be an announcement tomorrow. A Lawrence firm got the contract for (I believe) phase 1 of the project, I've heard HNTB will do the heavy lifting on the actual stadium.

For sure stadium or could it be LL contract?

I too had heard possible about Stadium

Now I could vey well be wrong , but what I read that it was possible 300 million project ?

Jalen has the highest QBR rating in the Entire FBS ratings at 95.6 - -I can live with that

See I'm wondering if it was a lot of play calling or not. - -They had a spy on Daniels , & I think a lot of that was Jalen trying to make the correct read on what they were giving him. I mean I could be wrong , I could be wrong very easily - have been before.

I for one think that our offense will return now what degree not sure but I don't think it will be like Iowa St , TCU defense is decent , to fairly good BUT they do not have an Iowa State defense. Like I mentioned before Iowa St defense is ranked sa the # 1 defense in the Big 12 - - Total - - Pass -- & Run - - K/State has the leagues 2nd best.

I think were gonna move the ball might very well be a track meet. - Dugan has killed KU when we have played them , just got to limit the bomb , breakout plays. I think our defense is getting better believe it or not Yes teams have had success moving the ball, but like was brought up on our local sports podcast- -Ku has managed to have teams settle for field goals at times lately tough up closer to the goal.

Just another case where the guys need to 12th man to help out in key moments - -let them know that YES KU does play football - - - - - - getting stoked ready to go

Sad to hear I remember listening to games when he played good player

Just thanking GOD that we have the depth that we do have at running back. -When Ky has played earlier in a couple of spot time - there was comments being made that he was just making wrong reads & holes -so hoping he has improved in that field. - - -He has the talent , personally I have been impressed when Sevion has played like his speed the way he runs hope he continues to get some touch's

@BShark said in Initial Impressions of Top 25 and 1 Preseason Poll:

@Jethro KJ needs to develop some guard/wing skills if he wants to see the floor. Otherwise he is a specialist that won't get big minutes.

Relly like KJ - but yet I hear ya - -for sure is a kid that can really help in spot minutes , I'm afraid though frustration sits in and in the end he tansfers out

Interview with Jalen coming up on ESPN 2 right now at halftime of SMU & UCF
