So Farmer , do you think we can hang onto Warne or we gonna lose him.-- It think it's good his high school teammates are at KU with one being his Cousin - -fighting the Big Dogs Michigan & Michigan to name some. WE need to hang on to him

Boy how easy is it to blame Jason for us ( KU ) getting beat. So Jason was the reason we got beat ? - - I beg to differ. - Now did Jason make mistake's ? - -Ya , Critical mistakes for sure, but did Jason cause us to lose - -not hardly, there are lots we can choose from , Jason threw FIVE touchdown passes & right at 400 yards & yes threw two bad int's. Right Jason had his part in us losing BUT Jason Bean did not cost us this game.

If we wanna place blame why don't we look at our so called Defense? - -If they would of made an appearance today/showed up , the Oklahoma RB Gordon ran past us , around us like a knife through hot butter.
How many passes did our secondary have or should have had right in their hands and dropped potential INT's ? - -Our defense gave up over or right at 500 yards - --FIVE HUNDRED yards. , our defense made a QB that had averaged right at 54 % completion rate on the year, made him look like Brady. - -Jason Bean late in the game had a rating of 289 -- -289 holy shit that's beyond insane.

Or if that doesn't work for ya how about Luke Grimm's senseless penalty when KU was driving in Oklahoma State territory which would at least at minimum was probably a field goal which would of made it 35-30-- or possible TD to make it 39-30 - -Luke wasn't even in the play, he was trailing behind when the catch was made -that penalty was a killer. OR how about our special teams playing their part missing multiple PAT'S . - -Again ya Jason played a big part BUT JASON BEAN did not cost us this game, he had a part, but by far everyone played a role. - How about the O-Line not opening holes or sustaining blocks for our RB'S ?. Thing is , it's easy to place blame on him sure - -he is in the spot light more, everyone focuses on the QB'S

Now 32 points isn't a direct result of Jason, but 30 points is -- Five touchdowns directly thrown from him is, he didn't have a part in our special teams blunders. - - 32 points is going to win you a hell of a lot of football games , especially if you have a respectful defense - Jason took us to that -just like when we win - it's a team win - -if and when we lose -it's a team loss. -This team just sucked in phases of the game yesterday. Difference between a good team and a average team. - -We had no reason to lose this game yesterday , still lot's of work to do.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Hypothetical re: Bean:

KU beat themselves today. 3 screw ups on PAT's, pick in the end zone, late hit on Grimm, and Bean's terrible decision making in the 4th quarter.

couldn't agree more. It's one thing when you get beat legit, but when you give the game away really hurts.- -Still trying to figure out how in the hell we screw up so badly on PAT'S Then I believe it was after their missed fg attempt when we were up 32-30 make a big connection and why Grimm hits the guy in the back for late hit - - just killed us as we were well on the way in would of put us up 39-30-- this one hurts,

doen't really matter now --- dam

they were offsides for sure, but we were going in for the score and got that dam penalty ourself

If Grimm wouldn't got that penality we wouldn't of been in this position with the late hit. - Unnecessary--now we got an off week to think about it

I thought our defense had improved some - - - -they haven't. - -Teas puts up almost 700 yards of offense against us- - -Okie state right at 500 now--- that's sad

fricken Bowen just dinkin little 5-6 yard passes and then Gordan just killin us

HEY, Is Kenny Logan hurt ? - -- Haven't heard his name called once today. - -Is he playing ?

Jason with FIVE - - - count them - -FIVE TD PASSES

We need to come out and score a TD right here to start

Jason going to have to keep it up. - - -Maybe just MAYBE we can win on Jason's arm.- - Defense has got to turn it up a notch-- long time to go

Gonna be a track meet , probably who ever has the ball last.

@kjayhawks said in Hypothetical re: Bean:

Wtf are doing on extra points, one block that didn’t count got in our heads

Couldn't agree more actually THREE blocked but one was off sides , then two blocked extra points -what the hell. Still though feeling a little better about game. - -Okie state wants to stuff the blok - - make them pay through the air. - -they gonna have to start respecting our passing game and then BAM RUN

tide turning a little bit maybe ? - Defense gets a stop this time.

Our O-Line needs to buckle down sustain some blocks , create holes. We have 4 rushing attempts that have resulted in zero yards gained.- -There d-line is winning the trench - -got to corect that, can't depend to win this game on Jasons arm

might be a long day

Defense got to show up

Holy crap quite the defense - - or not

wel that's a great start geez

@stoptheflop said in Hypothetical re: Bean:

No Jimmy the Greek predictons today? Our announcers are confident KU will handle the Pokes.

I got 31 - - 20 KU

I got a serious question- - -dead serious. - -WHY are some people so dam hell bent on the idea that Jalen is transferring ? I've seen nothing on that or even thought about why he would.

Can't be because of playing status - -being the starting QB. - - His is leading his current team back to respectability , no laughing stock. seems like a very level headed kid , one that's not going to make any snap irrational decisions. - -I just don't see any meat to that- - just doesn't make sense

As I side note just saw he is going to be going through pre-game warm ups with the team today. - -NO he is not going to play , but like post said shows big strides to improvement. - Hoping he is ready for the OU game. -I just don't see JD transferring out ------where the hell they getting this from ?

Jason had a really good game last year against Oklahoma St. Hopes he can repeat , not sure how I would feel about JD red shirting .Isn't he just a JR ?

I just can not grasp the concept of these thugs they laugh / play music while they rape the women and butcher babies, I mean what kind of a human would be-head a baby on video to be displayed set babies on fire

Where do they get their funding -they are backed by Iran , now the Us Govt says they have been watching the 6 Billion that was given to Iran & it hasn't been touched. they say it's not a direct check given that the US buys the food and medical in this situation but no money directly given to Iran that could in turn be used to buy and build military weapons-- I'm not totally convinced that Iran is not getting some amount of money.

The thing that probably disturbs me the most is the protests going on right here on our own ground against Israel -saying the burning of these babies and such is all propaganda by Israel and how the Los Angles times retracted the story - -BULLSHIT. these are gutless cowards , The Us asking Israel for restraint while the Palestinians get out of Gaza, I'm just afraid before it's all said and done it's going to get a lot worse with Iran & Syria possibly getting involved - -Syria has been waiting for this moment

Things getting worse i Israel . - -Hesela which we know is connected with Iran sounds like might launch rockets into Israel after rockets hitting in Lebanon. - This about to get ugly I'm afraid

These Hesela sick f - - - - need to be brought down , taking elderly , mothers young boys & girls - - Babies captured and tortured be-headed - -& set on fire burning BABIES , also having Americans captive. - -Ummm NO that's not happening. - - If Iran DOES get involved

What's even worse protests around the United States in some Colleges here wanting the United States to free all ( and I apologize for spelling ) Palestine prisoners are insane
Things just don't look good right now.

It will be interesting indeed to see if Israel DOES launch an all out offensive going into Gaza , telling people they need to get out. - REally ugly.

With about 25,000 in attendance in Houston tonight we don't have to worry about being the conference attendance laughingstock anymore.

pretty sad - -It was pretty bare

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs season long game thread:

Beat them Broncos!

So we won, great. But something just seems off about the Chiefs. Very un Chief like.

What the heck is it?

The defense has been exceptional really. Love that.

Is it Mahomes?

His stats in the box score look great, but he’s making some baaaad decisions most games. He’s even said he needs to clean it up.

Is it the WRs?

We spread the ball around tonight, other than Kelce’s dominance. Still some getting open issues deep. Rice looks like something special eventually.

Bad decisions?

Lots of bad decisions tonight. Andy Reid with some head scratcher play calls. K Toney makes the wrong call on that weird option play. Should of handed it off. Mahomes takes that sack, even when you can hear him telling his players that it’s an all out blitz. That INT was a very bad choice.

Anyway, things just seem off a bit.

I've said this and talked with other friends of mine and all agree. The thing that could very easily hold the Chiefs back from the Super Bowl this yr - -Their receivers, just not reliable , the only true threat they have or proven threat is Kelce and teams learning and game planning - -KC has no receives eve since Hill and JEW , Jew Smith has left- -they don't have it, to many drops , wrong routes, adding more pressure on Maholmes, they better get it straightened out. find somebody to help Kelce out cause teams gonna take Kelce out of the game , that and on top of the fact Kelce been playing hurt - - -not good

@FarmerJayhawk said in Interesting Games Today?:

The ending of the Holgo Bowl did not disappoint 😂

It just reinforced the thread I made earlier. -We have some really bad teams in this league. - -WV is a pretender, hell they couldn't even win when there was only 12 seconds left. - -Like I said it ws like neither tteam really wanted to win or knew how to win.- - -The amount of points put up tells you the defense was really bad, for Houston to score 41 points against a P-5 ? - -sheesh.

Their last score should of never happened- -but comical lol

West Virginia been playing with Mirrors , thought they might be decent - -Nope , they weak , losing to Houston - -neither defense can stop squat - 35-30 Houston right now with like 5 minutes to go , looks like neither team wants to win, just not very good ball. - Lot's of scoring and yeet not because the offense is lethal , more like both defenses suck.

@jayballer67 Arizona

That's right , That's right . Good lookin out

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:

DeShawn Warner up to top 200 nationally and a 4* recruit. It’ll be a war to hang onto him but I like our chances.

ya, the big boys been knockin on his door. So far his tweet outs have still been positive KU. I think the one thing is , isn't he part of that group from dessert edge out of Michigan coming together ? - - Might be enough to keep him

@Gorilla72 said in Taking care of Business with Okie St.:

KU currently a 3 pt favorite.
I think we cover that ok.

Well now that ew have gotten all the BS from the NCAA/IARP behind us , time to focus on our boys/our football . The guys have to take care of business, no Jalen Daniels once again . Have to go down there take car of business with Jason. - -Can we do this with Jason ? - -I believe we can, again pound the ball , pound the ball till they proven and I'm not just talking one or two times , I'm talking on a consistent bases of stopping our run - -I don't think they can, -Jason just manage the game, control make a few passes - -they stack the block then hit em.

I dunno how this thing with Jalen gonna turn out , but I feel we still have a shot at a memorable Season looking at 9-3 or 8-4. - I think w have legit shots at Okie St , Iowa St , Cincinnati -those three would make us at eight wins. I also feel like this is the year w have that shot at K/State - -like at least 50/50 chance. - just got to go out and gt it done. Don't beat ourselves.

I'm calling score of KU 31 - -20 over Okie St - -ROCK CHALK

I screwed up my post. Travis said this commit now makes us the 3rd ranked class not 33rd lol

Travis saying with Rakease commit KU has now the 3 3 overall ranked clas for 24

247sports shows Rakease not committing until 5:30 tonight. Thought it was at 5

takes 15 wins away from Ku & now Kentucky is back in the lead by like 5 wins --we can overcome that this yr

Well that just means we will have to take the all time wins away - - -AGAIN. -- - - -one thing you can't take away the memories of the final four.

@Jhawk69 said in IARP update:

Read a GEM of a comment on Rupp Rafters:
"If this would have been UK, we would have been buried.

DEAD. AND. GONE."

Yeah, UK and coach Cal are completely clean. The NCAA definitely hasn't been turning a blind eye to them or anything.

Ya I saw that lmao- - Think I'm gonna go streaking through Aggieville painted in Crimson & Blue lol

WELP I'm off to the Kentucky boards to read the meltdown - -GOD isn't life grand lmao

@dylans said in IARP update:

Jayhawks are free birds!

yes they are buddy - -Hell Bill said ALONG TIME AGO - -we were innocent

heard they are on a heightened alert in Lexington - Alert , Alert , Def-Con 5 lol

How's this being announced ? - Some big news flash - breaking into regular programming lol. Just so ready for this to be over. Been hearing some talk off vacating some wins- - Kentucky fans sure hoping for that, saying giving them back what they rightfully deserve. I said WHY ?- - just so we can over take you - - -AGAIN. --- possible having our banner stripped from us. - -I dunno

@FarmerJayhawk said in Ok so now here we go. Don't shoot the messenger.:

@jayballer67 KU is among the no’s, I’m pretty sure. The last candidate they were enthused about was Stanford -- It's about revenue. You mean your trying to tell me Stanford would bring more sports revenue then Gonzaga ? - I call BS

for you guys that don't want to see this-v--- maybe you get your wish, Matt Norlander is reporting that the votes aren't there right now-- not to say it won't happen just not immediate future.

Really can't see the resistance for this but whatever, Brett trying to make this conference even more stable. Again Gonzaga has the FIFTH most TV power exposure. For those that say they play in a crap Conference- ok maybe - -maybe not , probably so. Yet I'm here to tell you Gonzaga would play anyone anywhere just like Ku. - This year non con they have Purdue- -( Mr Zach Edey ) - U Conn , the defending National NCAA champion -& Kentucky -pretty decent. - Am I a Gongaza ass kisser- umm no, but this mov has Pro's written all over it.

Yet breath easy may not be tomorrow, - just want stability. Again they just want 3 mega conferences and this would only add to stability for the Big 12, but at the end of the day -- ROCK CHALK

@kjayhawks said in Ok so now here we go. Don't shoot the messenger.:

I’m completely against this at this time. Doesn’t gain you much in Basketball in the big picture and gains nothing in big money football. They would get railroaded and want out fast IMO. They play a JC level conference schedule most years.

You say they play in a JC conference - -Great they don't back down from anybody, they play tough non con year in and year out. - Why do you think they want the Big 12? - -they want stiffer comp - -Are we scared of the challenge of playing another power -5 ? - no were not. BUT your statement of saying they add nothing is WAY off base

@dylans said in Ok so now here we go. Don't shoot the messenger.:

Gonzaga has no football. Under no circumstance should they get a full slice of the pie at any date.

from what I've read they was actually the one volunteering about less then a full share

Tomorrow our Long National Nightmare ends

Not really concerned fwiw

hope your right

@FarmerJayhawk said in IARP update:

Tomorrow our Long National Nightmare ends

Great , finally. One way or another good or bad just glad w are finally getting this done. - -Gonna be interesting. Part of me thinks that they just want to drop the Hammer on us I still really don't know know what to think. depending how severe might effect Rakease decision whether he commits to KU or not.

I just don't think we have a post season ban, might ger reduced Scholi's - might get our Title taken - -let's just get it done.

@mayjay said in Ok so now here we go. Don't shoot the messenger.:

I wonder if adding Spokane gives a hint about designs on WSU and OSU?

I think you could be onto something. I've watched other podcasts discussing the Gonzaga addition and they too think this might be the case adding them at a later date.

Look I get it, you have some people who hate the idea of adding Gonzaga - -and you have others that are 10000 % for it. There is solid argument for both sides.

I understand perfectly, not gonna say who's right - -who's wrong. For me I would be ok with it.- - -I was listening this morning to more and they were talking and things I never knew but some pro's for the addition - - -Gonzaga has the fifth - - # FIVE in the TV power index - -simply put fifth best rating for viewership across the Nation. They only trail the bluest or bluebloods in this, Duke , Kentucky , North Carolina , & Kansas in viewership, and rather you like it or not this is now all about the Money. - -Gonzaga pulls in a lot that goes into that. - They draw almost double viewership in their Basketball compared to ANY Big twelve game in football. Again it's all about the money. If they join the Big twelve they will be coming in a reduced amount - -just like SMU to the ACC , this whole reduction for acceptance is another reason the Big 12 Presidents and AD'S gave Brett the go ahead to continue talks with Gonzaga, as your going to see this kind of thing more and more. Take a look at what the ACC is now doing, look at the list of Schools they are talking too NOW to join.

Why ? - cause of their conference right on the verge of multiple ,multiple schools wanting out and think they have found that way. the ACC is looking at possibilities of adding E Carolina, - -UAB - - Tulsa - -to name just a few, but with SMU not getting any revenue, the Big 12 ha seen about adding Gonzaga which I guess Gonzaga is in favor of joining at a reduced percentage, for some years

The 2nd part of this that's a pro for joining is STABILITY of the Big 12. - As has been mentioned Brett when this next deal comes up, he is wanting to separate the deal from Football , having a totally separate media deal for Basketball & Football. The thinking behind this nd adding Gonzaga is for more stability, because the thought is that somewhere not to far down the line is that the BIg & SEC are going to want to break away totally from the NCAA, then having their own tourney - and if they do that and try to have a tourney like the current March tourney that is like the NCAA - -the thought is as strong as the Big 12 is in Basketball how could they EVER accomplish that without adding the Big 12 to the picture ? - -Answer is you couldn't, your going to try and have that kind of a tourney with out the powers of Arizona , - -KU , Houston , Gonzaga , Baylor - -not likely.

So Brett & the Big 12 then says OK, you want us for your tourney - -then we want Football also included. - - So with adding Gonzaga to the Big12 only strengthens our case when it comes to this.

Now some Con's - well you have the travel expense for the Schools, especially when your traveling multiple times, & you have scheduling issues - -yet these are things that can be worked out for sure, which brings us to the part talking about OSU and WSU - - needing to be a partner to come with Gonzaga & not just Gonzaga. - Thing is with the addition of Brigham Young & even Utah they pretty well already have travel partners coming. I think if you would watch off you tube some of the podcasts, you can find a lot of answers to questions on this both pro and con - most seem to be highly in favor and think it's a no brainer, .

The one thing I do know from all the different reports o this is, it's not just smoke-- it's for real to many reliable sources say this is happening. Dennis Dodd - - Seth Davis--Brett McMurphy - -ESPN - - CBS, then all your podcasts. - I do think it's very possible that in the end they will be here. Now some where down the line does that mean OSU & WSU end up here- -who knows but very possible. - They are wanting 3 mega conferences and othe thing I know- - FOX wants Gonzaga to the big 12 - gonna get interesting. Will it be 24/25 that is what Brett would like to happen his ideal timeline - -but then more likely 25/26 we shall see
