Huge play by Kenny. that guy wasn't even the man he was covering and went over and made the hit
Defense from 1st to 2nd half night and day
Dammit Cobe
WELL - -NOW we gotta bow our necks
Dam , Dam
Bean back out in street clothes heavy limp but no braces they said
bALLARD SHOWING SOME mOXY
GREAT DEFENSE, THEY FIRED UP. - -NOW LET'S SEE IF WE CAN PULL A RABBIT OUT OF THE HAT. - JUST CAN'T TAKE BIG SACKS - WE GOT OUR CHANCE
We have real life. - -Defense bettr 2nd half and Devin goes from the outhouse for missing on sack to the Penthouse on that run, - -we got SOME HOPE
@FarmerJayhawk said in TexTech Offense Numbers:
@jayballer67 Grimm, Skinner, and Fairchild are all back and playing
ok whew missed them , thats good
or next week either if Bean isn't back. I think Fairchild is out - -Bean is out - -it's either Grimm or Skinner is out , think we had a lineman hurt- -not a good day.
Just our luck, last season Daniels goes down w go on a 5 game losing streak, this year really good season and now Bean goes down
What's happened to Devin ? -it's been only Hishaw last couple times out.
Defense stands up again considering field position
you couldn't ask Ballard for a better throw to Caasey, he just got it taken right out of his hands
@FarmerJayhawk said in TexTech Offense Numbers:
All in all, the defense has held up pretty well since the first drive
hat's what I was thinking. made some adjustments maybe at half too, made stops - -we just don't have any offense without our QB'S
Hanni was saying on the Radio Bean didn't come back out for the start of the half
It's crazt through this nightmare - -Tech only has out gained us in offense by 15 yards. - Brooks already over 100 yards rushing, I think they have out rushed 144 yards to 82 but we have more through the air 35-50 -but they own the real big one 10-0
@FarmerJayhawk said in TexTech Offense Numbers:
@jayballer67 he’s got the “sucks at football” injury
Why is he even on the roster if he is that bad- -Dam , what did they see in him , to offer him a scholi what a waste
So what's exactly wrong with Easters ? - - He must be really bad , if he still doesn't get a chance ,
Boy our Season is really in the balance now with both Daniels & Bean out
We have had more players getting hurt this 1st half crazy
every time we meet a really good back we can't make that stop
who in the hell is missing there blocks? -that right there is a back breaker

@jayballer67 said in TexTech Offense Numbers:
Well give the lil guy some credit
He's 6-2 supposedly
oh , ok - -man doesn't look like it
@kjayhawks said in TexTech Offense Numbers:
Ben looking decent, big thing is Defense is getting rest
Exactly
Well give the lil guy some credit
Man time to change up, run Hishaw a couple of times or get them both in the backfield at the same time. - -Would love Jason to run - but no can't take a chance get him hurt
see this is what sucks with Daniels. Bean goes doown, - -were screwed. - -Not fault of Ballard just hasn't taken any snaps - -- not good
Hell we are almost through the 1st quarter and have 7 yards of offense
4 , 7 , 5, 6, 4, 5, 11, 4 , 5, 7, 5 , 4 - -Thats Brooks just like candy
this could get ugly real quick. - Brooks will eat us up if this Defense doesn't adjust quick. - Then when we load to stop the run Morton gonna pick you part
that procedure call against us changed things for sure
That was to dam easy
I really love our backs Devin & Daniel, yet lets make sure not to under estimate or under value Brooks , yes he has rushed for over a thousand yards , , on like 60 some more attempts, however mainly because they have had to rely on him more for the work load because for the majority of the Season their top two QB'S have been out. This will be only the 2nd game for their back up QB Morton since his return.
Make no mistake Brooks is a very legit back,,, very strong and has top notch break away speed. Hard to bring down/tackle. He has a 5.4 per attempt rush average and most his run at his best are between the tackles right up the middle. - Brooks is the type of player that has given KU defense trouble, our Defense has got to wrap up, make stops.
I wouldn't trade our backs for anybody. Love Devin and HiShaw and even McDuffie. Gonna be a hard game, if Defense can get some stops, the crowd is loud, make this an unfriendly enviroment - I think w pull this out , but don't let that 4-5 record of Tech fool ya, if people think this will be easy, it will jump up and bite us right square in the ass. - - KU 35 -Texasa Tech 31
I just wanna say and don't take this wrong and I realize the opponent but I think e have some back up players that can really give us some help for periods of time without a lot of drop off.
1st, I am really liking Furphy. He shows no hesitation , got a nice shot and looks solid. you realize this kid is still suppose to be in High School right? - -Parker Braun is little athletic - -little better then what I thought - -I realize Jackson hasn't been a back up but very solid - - McDowell did ok for the time he was in.
They just played solid , but I'm impressed with Furphy
I'm really liking me some Furphy
@BeddieKU23 said in Bryson Tucker:
If it's true he's exploring joining the team for the 2nd semester as well. Things to work out but I'd say it's heating up
Mercy the stove is getting hot. - -so there could be a possibility of him playing the 2nd Semester of this yr ? - -Well Coach DID say we might have a mid year add possibility.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Our stadium remodel:
The whole project cost is TBD. But I’d say phase 1 (west and north sides) will run $450-$500 million.
I don’t know exact figures but I can say fundraising is going well and whatever they don’t get from private and federal grants will get bonded. But it’s well north of $300m of all source funds
Well thanks bud. - -end results sounds like it's going to be like a completely new stadium, which in reality we needed in the worst way. Partly because it just helps increase th chances with recruits, som doesn't think that maters, but it does. -These big tim recruits not only want to be seen on Media outlets but they also want nice facilities - thanks Farmer appreciated
Suppose to be a big recruiting class in tomorrow for the game. - -we need to show well for them. Great news the Booth they announced is sold out for tomorrow AND the K/State game next week, gives 4 sell outs this Season. Final 2 games of what we know of the present booth stadium will be played- -our home attendance with these two sell outs I think they said for the Season will be 45,575 ? not bad at all. - BE LOUD - BE PROUD - - ROCK CHALK
I'm not worried about Lance going anywhere , like was said --he stated that Girod & Geoff had treated him & his family extremely well and they loved Lawrence, and on top of that a big factor you have to consider is AGE. Lance is in his 60's and pretty sure sounds like he is ready to settle and not just keep jumping around. He likes it here and wants to stay here
He was on another podcast and said unfortunately this time of year your going to hear a lot of rumors and they are just not true

Ah so there you go.. So if I understand right then the bonds would be under 200 million right ? - - that's a good thing if correct.- - Yet that 450-500 is just for phase one ? - -I thought the whole entire project was going to cost 450 to 500. - -so you think we will be able to fund phase 2 ? - -there would be no way of knowing how much that's going to run yet would we .- -I can't remember did they even reveal what phase 2 was going to consist of?
So time getting close , just a couple more games before they star reno on the old stadium. Now I've got a question and looking for some help , someone who has heard on has any info.
FarmerJayhawk bud, you usually have some pretty good insight - -solid info, I've really never known you to be wrong on info , so I'm tossing this to you , but doesn't matter either if ANYONE has any insight of info would be appreciated.
I recently have read/heard that they have recently came out with new estimates/cost for our Reno - - -Origanally the numbers for the project was right at 350 million. Now hearing could be another 100 million -- total cost be anywhere from 450 million to 500 million. What have you heard if any Farmer ? - -is there teeth to this or just breeze ? - -If it is true do you think we can reach that goal for completion - - have the total funds? - -Exactly how far away from this are we?- -do you happen to know where we stand on the funds for this much needed reno? - -Appreciate it buddy, or anyone who might know would be appreciated - - -ROCK CHALK
Really huge recruiting visits next week vs K/Straight. -- they was ask numbers wise or talent wise & they said BOTH.. -- In the podcast Kirby who has followed kids said he has been doing this since like 1998 - -evaluating talent & he was saying KU fans ought to be stoked about our defensive end dual that we got coming in next year - -saying these guys are really good. - - Warner & Brinkley make quite the pair of edge rushers.
Our RB room ought to be well represented again - -Probably have Hishaw back - -not sure about Neal - -BUT Martel - - Johny Thompson - -& Stewart looks pretty dam solid - Thompson has got some moves/speed
@benshawks08 said in 2023-2024 Statistics:
@BeddieKU23 But can they shoot? I was told this team couldn't shoot. Any stats on that from the first real game?
Like Coach said, he doesn't believe we are as bad as what we showed in Exhibitions & probably not as good as against our first opponent. - -I know it's one game BUT ya we can shoot. just like any other team just depends from night to night. Here are the stats you were looking for
KU in the 1 st game : - - 69.6 % - - -80 % Free Throw - -& 56.5 % three point shooting. -- -Kevin - -66.7 % - - Hunter 88.9 % - -Timberlake 80 % - -Adams 75% - - Braun 83 % - -Jackson 60 % - -& Furphy 50 % plus the other players. So ya think we can shoot the ball ok.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023-2024 Statistics:
Kenpom- #3
Torvik- #2
PER's- Everyone is gravy
If Hunter was a Hawk his entire career, he would currently sit #14 on the all-time scoring list. He's got a shot to sit 2nd unofficially after this season ends.
hmmm, I just read artice off ESPN and it in the article had KU 2nd in the Kenpom - -Houston 3rd - Ariz 6th - & Baylor 7th - - but hey either way pretty dam god.
@stoptheflop said in KU Football is Now Relevant. Take the Next Step Tonight.:
Well, hell after holding on by fingernails for the win at ISt, KU must find a way to get past Tex Tech. Was ISt's rush defense that good or did our Oline just flat out fail to make the trip? Please tell me Neal and Hit-em-in-the-Mouth Hishaw will get back to world domination on Saturday. TT has the 5th best overall defense in the B12; Kansas is 9th. TT's rush defense is 7th in the B12 at 141/gm. KU favored by 3.5 thanks to playing at home. Let's just hope this doesn't come down to making a FG for the win.
Iowa Stat defense really good. - it's not just KU run they have shut down, they are like 2nd in the Big 12 in rushing defense. Actually their secondary was suppose to be pretty good too but Jason did pretty well against them.
Now as far as Texas Tech our D needs to stand up, get those stops, Texas Tech has potent run game, their running back /Brooks has rushed for 1,037 yards & averages 115.2 yards per game, really strong elusive back. - They got their starting QB back not to shabby Morten he has been back for a couple of games now has 978 yards for the year not extremely over accurate on completions but good enough 61.9 % and a QBR of 108.7 - -10 TD"s & 2 INT'S - - Defense has got to be ready to come to play - -not going to be easy. With us being at home & our Coah's I'll take our chance .
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Bowl game tracker:
@RockkChalkk coach said yesterday, publicly, they want to end their career here! End of story. Put the rumors to rest.
Agree , it's just weird & yes I don't think Coach L is going anywhere. I truly believe when he says he is staying put - - he is staying put. Now I find this funny , - - I think we have got some people sscared and they are hoping - and really wanting this to happen - & that's our little friends down the road K/Straight.
Looking at their boards multiple posters saying oh Leipold is gone to Michigan St - -Others saying multiple reports that Leipold and Michigan St in advanced talks at it could be done by Sunday lmao.
You talk about reaching - -grasping for anything. Now why are they this way? - It's because they see their advantage slipping away - -KU closing the gap and getting ready to show a new guy on the lock-- they can't stand that so they are desperately looking/hoping Leipold leaves -gotta love it
Our Ladies got started off right tonight. -- Beating North Western State - 85-52. -Ladies took a page from the men hitting -16 three point shots. not to bad 16-32.
North Western played Zone entire night. - Ladies were led by Kersgieter & Woodberry with 17 each - Jackson had another double double- -14 points - -10 rebound - -& 2 blocks -New comer Cobbins had 10 points & * rebounds -- - Really like Freshman Gaines -6ft 3 - -looks like she going to be nice player - & 12-19 from the free throw stripe. - nice start
They got their work cut out for them here pretty quick. - -Penn State - -Virginia Tech - -& U Conn - gonna get real serious soon
