thought this blog was about basketball? Says so in the title.
How does everyone feel about this year's team? Where will our weak areas be?
ya it is a basketball thread , somehow e got stuck it the football crao. Your right Coach L is in NO danger , if he is then KU needs to drop the football program
@approxinfinity said in Basketball Season:
Writing off Lance at this point seems like an overreaction.
your right my friend - -- - -way over reacting holy crap. that always seems to be the answer , especially here at KU.- -The guys simple answer is HELL let's fire Coach -ya let's That's a big part of the problem, you want to end up deep in the depths of that HELL HOLE we were in for over a decade- --you wanna be right back n the pit again and be the kickin can start all over again
ya that's right let's start all over again.- - Anyone who has that train of thought doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground for Christs sakes Fire the Coach are you fricken Serious ? -- 4 games into a Season and you wanna fire the Coach. Any one who knows anything should flipping know the progress this dam team /program has made since Lance has been here , from where we were BEFORE he got here until now.
But ya let's fire the Coach and then when we do - - - go to Websters and look up the word continuity , because if we were to fire Coach L we sure the frick don't have any. - -Did people think that we was going to go from the ol rotted out outhouse to Georgia in three fricken years ?- - ya ok then if you thought that then you can believe me when I tell you that I am going to be the fricken Pope tomorrow too lmao.
Do we need changes ? -hell ya ., - -Does JD have to get better ? -Hell ya , Does our OC have to get better -Hell ya- -but again it isn't just the offensive side of the ball.- -Our defense has been sucking butter milk late in the game giving up leads -that's on BORLAND - -THAT'S ON THE DEFENSE
This group is much better then this program was BEFORE Coach L got here -- if your someone who is ready to fire the Head Coach after four games and want to be a band wagon fan then maybe your in the wrong place, maybe you need to find a different past time - Maybe you could take up knitting. Now I'm not saying by far I'm any Saint in this - Do I make fricking ridiculous remarks when I'm hot after a loss?- - sure do- -Do I make a complete ass out of myself a lot of times when we lose ? - -yep sure do, cause I'm thinking with my heart and NOT MY HEAD, - -all logic goes right out the window , then after some time when I've really had time to think about it I think boy- - - some fan you are. -I'm more then happy with our progress
Were never going to make ANY PROGRESS if w just keep firing Coach's like Coach L at the drop of a hat-- -recrits look for continuity --stability in continuity not atmospheres where Coach here today - -gone tomorrow-- I mean dam come on

Leipold
Well I got to feel a little teensy bit encouraged with the Pack playing without Jordon. We have won both our games, were 2-1, now I realize our opponents haven't been world beaters but hey, every game w win without our starting QB is a bonus.
Beat the Titans today 30-14 ans sacked their QB - - -EIGHT TIMES- ---EIGHT. -- Tennessee had the # 1 defense coming into today and w put up right at 400 yards of offense so I'll take that for sure.- -Much tougher next week we got Minnesota at home , but talk is Jordon will probably be back- - can't asak for much more out of our back up QB
you know people blamin Grimes, and I agree to a point anyways BUT part of the blame needs to be give to Brian Borland defense too-- --three times late in the fourth qtr surrendering leads yesterday twenty frickens seconds.- -Didn't feel quite as baad about Illinois after they beat Nebraska, but how the hell you give up an eleven point lead with five minutes to go - That's on your defense
Well just a crap day yesterday , I mean bad UNTIL I saw that that dam school down the road got the dog shit beat out of them like yesterdays bitch - - -they look like warm dog crap too -- at least got some satisfaction out of that
Well these types of preformance sure the hell isn't goin to help funding for the stadium- - -- -DAM , back to bottom feeder football

WELL WE HAVE NO FOOTBALL PROGRAM NEEDED SOMEWHERE TO GO
There is no reaso n this team should be 1-3 with the talent we got--- -PERIOD
@kjayhawks said in Must win tomorrow!:
How mad do we be at the defense when they have played good enough to win every game but the last 2 drives here. Maybe we should just cancel the program and join the big east this absolute embarrassment.
sounds good, do ew get a win in the Big 21 this year ?
There is the Season right there -- How do you give up an eleven point lead with five -talk about grabbing a loss ou of the jaws of victory. You can't come up with a excuse for this one
Allowing fans back in the Stands.- -15 minute wrm up -- looking around 3:40
Hanni just said things looking better, skies have lightened up quite a bit -- barely raining , just spitting/light - - -sun poking through, shouldn't be much longer before players start warming up. --- 25 minute warmup
JD-6 just came out of runway , checking things-- -hopefully we finish with a W
this is exactly didn't need. We had all the momentum and lightning strike - -really looked like two totally different teams between first half and second half
Maybe the Illinois loss isn't quite as bad as I thought, Illinois beating Nebraska last night , ya not quite s bad
Well the Ladies nine----and---zero , now swept Tulsa last night -- -another HUGE test this afternoon , the Ladies play Creighton- -which also beat Purdue -- -3----1 - play at three this afternoon-- Let's do this Ladies
@wissox said in Must win tomorrow!:
How are people feeling about tomorrow? Hard to believe this season has already gone off the rails, but 0-0 in the league means we can start it off the right way tomorrow. Stuff the run sounds like the important part tomorrow for our D. Two decent backs and a running QB.
Jalen might have an easy time with the WVU secondary from what I've read. Would be great to see him gain some confidence.
Safest call for me is an OT game like last time we were there. Then who knows.
I think Jalen finds some rhythm WV secondary errible- -even hei fans say as much --- I'll say KU 28-----WV 24
Now I've got a serious question , and not trying to get anybody's feathers ruffles or someone getting their panties all in a bunch-- -it's a serious legit question .
Are you Royals still in the hunt for playoffs ? - seen where they just got swept b Detroit didn't know if they got knocked out or not.
MERCY , Jo , Jo hauling in the bucks. - - Philadelphia Sixers and Jo , Jo just agreed to a three year extension that will run through the 28-29 season for a deal at 192.5 million.
that now brings his total earnings to over 300 Million --this extension is worth over sixty Million per yr. & now his career earnings at over 500 million making the fourth highest in a career- - The crazy thing is they have never won a Championship, they have never given you any help -- -you go JO JO
WOW what a match. - -The Ladies had to work BUT OUR lADIES came through 3 - - 1 - - -31/29-- -- - 21/25- - - -25/22--- -& 25/23 - tough , tough , tough. - -they stayed with it got the job done.- --London Davis HUGE Match with 22 --- kills
Didn't realize w are the Number ONE Hitting Percentage team in the Nation-----GREAT JOB LADIES-- -Tulsa tomorrow night
@FarmerJayhawk said in Ladies Volleyball off and running:
6 Purdue tonight on ESPN+. Should be a good one!
Thanks for reminding me, I would of missed it I was thinking they started the tourney tomorrow night. Your right should be a stiff challenge.
Wish we had a little bigger arena get more fans in there.- - -OK LADIES your time to shine,- - LET'S DO THIS - - -ROCK CHALK
@drgnslayr said in Crap on Jeff Grimes thread:
If I recall... In our past few seasons KU was known as the "motion offense team" and we ran an offense similar to the Chiefs.
We look like a traditional offense now and we are not owning the offensive end of the ball.
I know Lance is the HC... but wasn't he going to require a similar style as we moved on to a new OC?
I'm not sure where I place blame yet since I'm a total backseat quarterback in this game. From what I see... our defense isn't too bad, but they are on the field too much now and getting warn out!
Daniels looks to be without confidence and looks lost out there half the time. I think the first order of business is to settle him down. Run the ball more, including having him run with the ball. Call easier pass plays, and very rarely a long ball. Build his confidence and also stop the TOs!
The one thing I have noticed is that in the last couple of years with our former OC we had the opportunity to quick strike- -that home run offense-- play calls with Big time explosive results - -Big chunk plays rathe it was through the air, or on the ground. -w e were explosive.-----This year -- -not so much , we haven't had that. Th question becomes is it because of Change in our OC ? or is it that the guys just aren't executing the plays fully ?- -I have a little tendency to believe that it is our new OC to a certain degree anyways. - -maybe with him moving down to on the field---things will change
Just curious , I know we are recruiting Eric Reibe the seven footer , here is my question. -Right after his visit to KU he Cancelled his visits to UNC & UK - -yesterday I read a U Conn article saying looks like the leader for landing Bandolo - -something like that , I know not spelled right but you get the point. Same position as Eric , U Conn had been another School that was recruiting Eric.
So just a random thought , With Eric cancelling the two visits , and U Conn thinking they have this other --is this a good sign for us landing Eric ?
Saw London Jemison is announcing his choice this Saturday at 2:30 CT according to Jamie Shaw from on 3
Final three Schools Alabama -- Louisville -- & KU . Solid player, think he would be quality relief, not sure he would start.- - inbetween 6'7 --- -6'8 - -I'd take him with s many spots as it looks like e will have, would be solid addition.- -- Does he commit to KU ?--- I just got this feeling he will-- hope I'm wrong land in Alabama
Anybody have thoughts if he lands here or not ?
@nuleafjhawk said in The JD Redemption Story:
@jayballer67 I've been rooting for KU Football (and Basketball) for about 60 years. I am not a fair weather fan. I am a fan who is watching what was supposed to be a potentially historic season quickly go down the drain because of either a stupid Offensive Coordinator or a QB who is grossly under-performing. I'm breathing just fine.
take a chill pill buddy, no one was calling you a fair weather, I was saying don't be like them. or being a band wagon fan - just uing as examples not calling you one geez.
Again we are going to a bowl and a good bowl. Our Season is FAR from ruined, like I posted in another thread our season is just starting-- -CONFERENCE GAMES-and with our Schedule it is big time favor for us. When JD-6 get's this turned around and HE WILL get it turned around and good chance this Saturday Hell the WV fans have said the same about their team- -The QB is worse-- -their Secondary can't cover a cold, JD COULD end up with a monster game----we gonna be all right
You have rooted for KU Football and Basketball ALMOST as long as me - -but not quite - -I've been aa KU fan for like 67 years, maybe sometimes to much so. I get so mad and if ANYONE starts talking shit about them get's my BP up, maybe take it a little to serious, I'm working on it but got a ways to go-- -Somebody eve questions if I'm a true fan I say does fair weather fans have multiple tattoo's of Ku on their body if they are fair weather fan ? - you got things like permanently marking your body for your team--- you bette be a true fan lol
@nuleafjhawk said in The JD Redemption Story:
If someone with the initials "J.D." doesn't figure out how to play college ball by about 2:00pm CDT this Saturday, he needs to get on with his other, more important duties like figuring out World Peace, saving baby whales and solving Global Warming and let anybody else play QB. I'm still dumb enough to want to go to a bowl game.
Don't even rip, mark it down WE ARE going o a good bowl gams. - - -So let it be written- - -So let it be done
Don't fall into the trap like many others of being fair weather fan -ONCE a JAY HAWK - - - -ALWAYS A JAY HAWK-- remember - -just breath
I don't know for sure BUT w have taken a hit in our 3035 recruiting. -- I wondered over the weekend if something had happened , sure sounds like someone or someone's got him pissed off by running their mouths about how it was a done deal , and how he verbally committed to us- - he came out with what appeared to be a pretty straight forward response saying that he HAAD NOT COMMITTED and his recruitment was still open.
Ho HE would be the one to let people know when things were done. Just appears he got pissed running their mouths and pissed him off --he may -- and now may not be a Jay Hawk like people thought.
Now of course since this has came out saying -- -oh w didn't want him anyways, we can get better then him , he is not that good-- Typical bullshit from people when a player doesn't end up coming. --Bullshit I can guarantee you Self would take him in a -- People need to pull the reins in a little and don't let their mouths overload their ass, and NO this is not ABOUT ANYONE HERE SO DON'T GET YOUR FEATHRS RUFFLED.. just saying that he is now saying he is taking ALL his visits and Texis A & M - - and Auburn very much in play
Again the thing that kills me is as soon as it becomes clear he MAY end up some where else- -Immediately----- -oh well we didn't want him anyways- - he is ove rated-- he isn't that good. - just typial bull shit respones- -we may have fucked up

Dorry guys , just have to laugh I mean after the kind of losses we have had and People fire off including me , think this is so bad - -that is so terrible ,- -This guy ought to be fired-- -QB should be replaced, some a little extreme BUT then you see things and think DAM I thought our program was a disaster -- then I see / hear this.
I was site surfing and ran across this--- _ _ _ Ran across Kuz's Corner podcast , it's a West Virginia podcast lmao, actually it's a pretty good cast , he is a pretty good guy - - -BUT WV fans and Cuz has pushed the button to Defcon -5. Cuz was literally , talking and saying and I quote , that he was so pissed, he could hardly even talk --- slamming his water container on the desk lmao. - - they were saying how Neal Brown has to go immediately - --- Cuz was saying asking why are we trying to run our 240 pound tailback out wide ? - Ya he is 240 but we are running him outside-- saying he is slow, why we running him outside ?
/
He was saying their dam secondary can't cover anybody. how they now know that EVERYBODY will just kill them passing the rest of the Season - --OMG, they are in Nuclear meltdown roflmao , SMH
Again they saying teams are just going to pass on them all day long- - -talking about how Greene has gotten worse---and why they run the ball up the gut time , after time , after time on 3rf and 10.- -Talking about how the D-Line played their ass off , couldn't of ask for anything more -- -Sound familiar ? - -it's crazy I mean WOW they were flat going off - -see w aren't the only one's - -guess it could always be worse. -- -ROCK CHALK
I can't believe I'm typing this or talking about, BUT as crazy as it sounds it's true
Believe it or not in the overall Grand Scheme of tings these two losses doesn't kill our year , our goals . -The real Season starts next week with West Virginia. Yes I know crazy to even bring up right now, but IF somehow w get these play calls, this QB situation straightened out - -we can still reach those goals-- Win the Big 12 Championship, would have to go on an crazy streak but it can be done with our schedule. If we can get this JD crap straightened out- - it can be done. Our defense is playing well enough to do their - -It'd crazy BUT it can happen
@nuleafjhawk said in Crap on Jeff Grimes thread:
@jayballer67 maybe he's just following Grimes' directions?
just sayin to easy to try and make Grimes the scape goat- might be part of problem but by far is not THE PROBLEM, Jalen making way to many terrible reads - -- forcing , underthrowing , overthrowing - just not good QB play, and sd to say this is just not one of those situations where you can't afford to continue- - JD has got to step up
@kjayhawks said in Crap on Jeff Grimes thread:
Can we change the name of this to crap on Jeff Grimes thread lmao. I’d say either he gets canned Monday or JD isn’t starting next week
It's More Daniels making shit decisions pathetic no eccuse
@nuleafjhawk said in Crap on Jeff Grimes thread:
@kjayhawks Grimes is doing extremely well crapping on himself
Daniels leading Grimes by a mile
@kjayhawks said in Crap on Jeff Grimes thread:
Apparently on the radio call, Bmac was calling for Ballard
Daniels is all fucked up - - just a shell , no confidence, they were calling for Ballard--not sure he is the answer.--Do w have a Answer ? -Hell right now Marshall is as good as any, Last week I tried sticking up for Daniels---his week there IS NO EXCUSE
@FarmerJayhawk said in UNLV - Any Bets?:
@kjayhawks there you go!
I’ll be a little more optimistic yet. I think our defense will give them fits. They aren’t a good passing team and that’s our defense’s strength. They also gamble a lot on defense so we should be able to spring some long runs and get some nice 1 on 1s on the outside. 34-21 good guys
Agree , I think is showing it's self line doing better they are showing, keep it up were fine.
@nuleafjhawk Think it's going to be higher scoring - KU 38-- -- UNLV 24
Been doing some catching up, & I think we play this right- -- if we can close , this could be a very special season in recruiting.
people are saying we will have large number to fill. you figure Williams looks like he might pop this weekend - -Unless I missed something Peterson sounds like he is very , very likely for us. -- - - -Was reading from Rivals And Cassidy was Ku made a HUGE splash during his visit and that w have to be the perceived leader right now,-- Saying of Course U Conn & Indiana will still be in play and have big Nil war chests, and with he ay he has been moving and cancelling visits they think he is trying to ge this closed out - -Then if it turns out we sold happen to take Greer- -that's a pretty dam solid big class in those four alone, little lone the portal - -could be SWEET -- let's d this Bill
just heard this from podcast. -- We all know about the U Conn situation - -Well I guess the Big twelve actually sent an invitation to San Diego St , and the AD told the Big Twelve NO LMAO.
San Diego St just getting Roasted on this Pod Cast. The Hosts saying what the hell you thinking SD State ? Bottom line is thinking is that San Diego St thinking they are better then that , that they wanted to join the Pac 1 - -and it imploded, everyone knew it was going to happen -- -now what are they going to do ?
People thought U Conn's football sucked - -mercy San Diego St really sucks, I'm not really sure why we invite them over U Conn. Like the hosts said it had to be for their Basketball but if that's the case U Conn is MUCH bigger brand if your going off Basketball.
Now this isn't just from some Joe Blow saying this is what happened, the hosts brought up the piece where the SD State AD actually said The article read - SD State AD said that the Big Twelve wanted SD State to come in at a half share
San Diego St makes like 3.4 Million Revenue right now, and like the hosts said the Big 12 revenue at the present is at 31. ? Million pe School. - -So even if they came in at a half share that's an increase of over 12 Million and he said NO LMAO. - -that's revenue sharing they said that's like a 300 % increase in revenue then you add in private equalities - -The AD for SD State is JD Wecker. - -Wecker said the Big 12 is wanting us to come in at half share - -we would be sitting at the bottom of the Conference and no way up - - WHY would we do that? -- People are pissed at him -SD Alums - -fans etc, not saying I want them in but just saying how funny that is. Like they said say SD comes to Big 12 later and says - hey we are in trouble can you help ? - Big 12 says well lets see we offered you half share then - -you said no with a 12 million dollar increase- -maybe we offer you now a 1/4 share - -It's not happening now, but I'm really surprised they turned the BIG 12 down and I can't believe we invited them to join, but these are words coming directly out of Wecker's mouth - -guys an idiot. Bottom line is like the host said basicall it's like San Diego St just thought they were to good for the Big Twelve- - -SURPRISE
Nelly is out at late night, paving the way for Lil Jon.
They’ve been bringing in big names for the last few late nights. I suppose it’s more for recruiting that anything else. But clearly the budget has been expanded lately.
Hell doesn't matter to me cause Lil Jon might as well be BIG JOHN as far I know- - I'm old lol
And the whole Nelly thing is - -The only Nelly I know is Whoaaaa Nelly -Whoa Girl lol

China , Syria , N Korea , Russia , just waiting and licking their chop for Harris to win the election
@dylans said in Shakeel Moore with a broken foot.:
Who in the world Shakell Moore? Is all I wonder. Not enough to look it up, but it is curious that there is so much roster turnover that a name is completely foreign to someone who is in a KU basketball chat room daily. Sad state of college basketball.
Pretty decent defensive player PG, brought in to spell Harris. I think he was from Mississippi St- - but THAT very well could be wrong
@wissox said in How many games does Jeff Grimes have to cost us before he gets fired?:
Since Lance is ultimately the guy who gets the blame/credit I was wondering what role he has in a situation like that? I mean if it's my team I'm screaming into the radio 'I don't care what Jeff said, run the ball!'. Do head coaches do that?
Just trying to understand what the OC does. Is his IPad telling him in this situation run this play? Does he look at matchups and say this will work? Trying to figure why what seems so obvious to so many fans about that game wasn't obvious to him? Have media types been critical of his play calling? Anyone have links?
pretty much what your saying lat I kne is correct. HC always has the right to kill Grimes call, having he last word. He can always say NOPE not running this now -- here is what we are running
ya I just saw that -- -6 to 8 weeks , from a dang pick up game
Well Our Ladies moved up from # THIRDTEENTH in the Narion to now --- -# - --ELEVEN in the Nation Great job Ladies let's keep this rolling only lost only TWO games out of Twenty- - ---FOUR out of SIX Match's have been sweeps.
Side note-- - former number ONE Texas FELL TO sixth -- - - & Former # ONE - -Nebraska - -fell to FIFTH -- that just doesn't happen- ---ROK CHALK LADIES
The Season IF they do , It wasn't Grimes that cost that game, there was A LOT of hands in the pot for that. Devin Neal even mentioned in post game, that we can't afford to start taking games for granted --- that we aren't there yet, and some guys thought that. - -Grimes might have played a part even though Coach has the final say on Calls - -he doesn't like the call he can nix it.- - You don't fire your OC after two games-- - just like you don't yank JD after two games. The same people that JD was the All Mighty God are now wanting him yanked after two game. Some people are beyond funny. -Come on for Christ sakes the sky isn't falling. Disappointing-- -YES - -Oh Whoa is me scenario - -UMM NO
