for what it's worth here is my prediction for world series match up.----I think the ALCS will be The Orioles/Astros, - -Then it will be the Orioles/Philles & I think Philadelphia will be world Champions.

I thought commentators were very biased towards IL, seemed like they had money 💰 on line for IL to win. Yes IL was the underdog but still it was very annoying.
Hope Fox can get better ones who are non-biased towards any particular team.
your going to have that no matter who you play and or what teams are playing. your NEVER going to keep everyone happy.
@kjayhawks said in Let’s talk Illinois:
@FarmerJayhawk either way you want to slice it, last night was one of the worst play calling performances in the history of the game of football. Baylor fans went nuts with joy when he left. It’s looking like the worst coordinator hire in CFB thus far.
I do believe that Coach L haas the final decision about play calls , if there is a play and he doesn't like that particular call for that situation he can always shut it down- - he has the last say on any play if he wans.
The one main concern I had late in the game was play calling. Hanni and Lawerence mentioned it, saying well -- -you know what we are going to see a lot of on this series- -this came on our next possession right after Daniels 2nd pick of the game.
They said we are going to see a lot of Devin and Daniel on this series. So what we do , we go out and first play ball goes to Devin for Seven yards , right about mid field Then what do we do? - - - - - we chuck the ball deep for the next two plays which obviously didn't work-- -hadn't worked sll night, could not get separation BUT hey let's chuck it up anyways.
The BIG question on this is WHY ? Why in the hell throw deep twice in a row late in the game when it hasn't work all night , WHY do we go away from the run game ? - I would say here we come , you haven't showed me squat stopping ou run ALL NIGHT LONG w averaged close to Eight yards per, fort the game -they didn't stop us in the run ALL FRICKEN NIGHT, and what do w do ?---w throw the fricking ball not only throw but deep twice. Again I'd be sayin I'm RUNNIN now stop me , until you prove you can shut our running game down - - -I'm still bringing it.
Having sid that for people who is saying fire Grimes - - -run him out -- - - You don't fire an OC TWO GAMES into the Season.-- lot's of work to do, that was just ugly
@wissox said in Let’s talk Illinois:
One more gripe for the upcoming week. We have DirecTV and they are currently arguing with the ABC/ESPN nation and as a result I won't be able to watch Friday when they play UNLV. grrrr. first world problem I know, but grrrrr....!
me neither buddy , unless a Miracle - -just pathetic
Jalon just playing like crap, looking bad so far
Well my Pack took a Major blow with love spraining his MCL - - last play of the fricken game. They are hoping three-four weeks , shoot e don't have any an back up - -with two noodles. We could very easily be 0-5 -- -that's is he is only out 3-4 weeks.
Shouldn't been in that position anyways traded blow for blow with Philly- - our penalties just killed us , 10 penal , - -had a 38 yd TD called back because of one - -then you add not cashing in on forced TO"s w had two INT's and a recovered fumble - -deep in Philly territory and only got a couple field goals -- not going to cut it - maybe we get lucky

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in UConn to B12?:
@jayballer67 UConn doesn't have anywhere near the value you think they do. The ACC has passed on adding UConn at least 3 times in the past so they clearly aren't interested in dealing with their football program either.
If the ACC implodes and all the powerhouses leave, especially their basketball powerhouses, why would UConn want to join a depleted ACC when they already fought to leave a depleted AAC to rejoin the Big East? UConn basketball alone isn't attractive enough to major conference to justify housing their football program.
look don't be coming at me thinking HOW MUCH I love it, I'm simply relaying what insides ar saying, and yet I will say WATCH
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in UConn to B12?:
@jayballer67 How many times did the ACC have a chance to add UConn and why did they pass on them every single time? It was just 2-3 years ago there was serious discussion about their football program dropping back down to the FCS level.
They know that , they are also wanting to more likely then not get U Conn in the league BEFORE the ACC tries. In the past the ACC wasn't in the position they find themselves in now. -- -IF & When they implode - - FSU - Clemson - -N Carol -- -Virgina end up leaving and they will at a reduced rate if FSU & The ACC settle- -for teams to leave is going to be a lot more less expensive When those teams leave the ACC is going to try and find teams to back fill with and the 1st one they are going afte because of their Value/Brand they have. How many other conferences can claim the value that they have with what they have accomplished in NCAA titles with the Men & Womens Basketball. I'm just relaying what the popular belief is from people inside the know. - U Conn coming to the Big 12 if Yormork breaks these into two separate deals is a 1000% must get, Again several people that work with this truly believe that Basketball value is going to increase sharply, as it's gaining more & more popularity - -especially;;y after Katlin Clark. , Plus the addition of the NCAA tourney expanding- -ummm -- ya.
If they get the deal , and then add U Conn on top of what is considered the best league in the Nation in Basketball it just makes it a no Brainer, adding U Conn - -thee is no way we are left behind if and when the BIG & SEV end up breaking away from the NCAA. -As soon as they do that , everyone else that isn't in a power Conference is screwed ad left behind, Yormork just making sure we have a seat at the table
@AsadZ said in UConn to B12?:
UConn has a large TV market in NY and Boston which will be lucrative for Big 12.
Furthermore, KU will have opportunity to recruit in these crucial markets.
That's what the talking heads are also saying , they know this league will never survive if we try and compete in football only, Like farmer said him self, if the Big 12 tries to keep up with just Football , then we will be right behind the Pac 12 & ACC and will be that so call 2nd rate League and e will be the ones imploding and left behind
It will happen like one source was saying he was talking to U Conn executives, and they are saying it's a done deal - it's just not IF but WHEN.-- i think we are probably looking at more like in 2031 when the new T rights deal comes up.
ESPN is 10000 % behind this , they would love for U Conn to be in , This still gives U Conn until2031 to gets things in order and when hey wok the new TV dal out---Yormork is going to present to separate deals - -Football AND Basketball , and also at that time announce U Conn will be coming to theBig 1
Oh I have no doubt he will get it done -- - just not now. It will happen , it's just the presidents are waiting to see how this revenue sharing turns out, what the house settles on .
Yormork is seeking ways to create more revenue for the Big twelve , that's why when the new TV contract comes out he thinks along with others that Basketball is under valued, and Yormork is smart enough to realize that if we want to remain a player in the overall grand scheme of things - - this is something that needs done.
Their thinking is there is no way the Big twelve can ever compete or catch the BIG or SEC in football revenue , but the thought is if they get a totally separate Basketball from Basketball , totally separate contracts as people seeing Basketball revenue soaring- -- --there will be no way those two conferences can ignore the BIG and try and leave us behind having only two Conferences. - -That's where U Conn becomes a major player, their National Brand in Men's Basketball and Womens Basketball as Womens has become alot more popular -their brand is bringing major revenue. You add those two Basketball programs , the men and Womens will be a boost. -- Then you have the viewership the Market aspect, opening up totally new ground - the NY/New England region New Region , gives Wv - - -UCF - -- -Cincinnati some closer games ,, new recruiting ground -- -ESPN wants this, they pay etra money for U Conn to jinn
.
Brett isn' stupid he is looking for the best interest and keep us relevant We add U Conn to what is perceived as the Best Confence would be huge, would make us with no doubt THE BEST lot's of money to be made --chances very good it will happen -- just not now
@FarmerJayhawk said in UConn to B12?:
The answer is no, praise be
ummm not so fast my friend lol -- No -" FOR NOW " doesn't mean it's not going to happen. The Presidents want to see what's going to happen with the ACC--plus the judge was supose to make some kind of ruling on this dam revenue sharing today, they want to see how that turns out.
No School can afford to take a hit money wise, just because they said no doesn't mean this is going away- -just not right now - -They are not dum enough to know that there is no way in hell can they ever catch the BIG or SEC in football revenue, That's exactly why Yormork is trying to find ways to generate revenue. - That's why he is trying to generate this whole separate package in Basketball.
Like the said too is it's either the Big 12 or the ACC for U Conn and they sure don't want them to end up in the ACC, a lot more going into this then exsposed, ya, not now but it will continue to have a presence
Ladies Still rolling. - Swept Wichita St tonight - - 3 - - 0 , - - - -25/17 -- -25/21- ---& 25/19 . - -Wichita St pretty decent but the Laies is tough. - -They have now won -- Eleven out of Twelve sets- - -and are 4 - 0 so far on the Season - -Next up Marquette , doesn't get any easier.
Couple of tidbits didn't know before tonight. - - KU Ladies are SECOND in the Nation in Hitting pct on the year hitting at 400
Also w had the # 4 recruiting class in the Nation last year, this team is really , really deep.- -Hoping for a great Year - - - -ROCK CHALK
@wissox said in Let’s talk Illinois:
Game is now a sellout. First in Champaign in about 8 years. Imagine that KU is the team selling out a game at an opponents?!! I'm guessing it's going to be a KU parade down I-57 from Chicago and back Saturday night.
The guys just need to make sure to have their chinstraps on and ready. We have improved a lot, but we re no at a point where we can ply a B game.
Read a site to say they are telling people to take the spread, thinking KU will not cover 5.5 favorite
.
Saying KU DLine is small will not be able to stop on the run gaps. - I will say they have a bruiser of a running back I think they said 6'3 - -250. - -Gonna have to double/triple up team tackle him hard and let him know he has got smacked. Talking about their QB another year of experience.- -Not a gimme by any means, they saying Illinois should be able to contain Daniels & Neal saying those two will only combine for 150 yards-- -I think they are wrong thee, you might see Jalen run a little moore Satuday -- all you got to say is - - -BRING IT we shall see
The Ladies in action tonight at 6:30 against Wichita State.
Not directly related to KU Volleyball but I'll be dang if SMU didn't Sweep Nebraska. NEBRASKA of all people. That just doesn't happen, not only beating them but SWEEPING THEM-- 7,600 plus at moody last night for the Match

Oh I'm sorry , ya it's on our home floor
Just read an article the Illinois head Coach was talking about KU , saying that w threw some plays on them that wasn't on game film, and how they had to try an adjust on the fly, their Defensive Cord said pretty much the same , very complimentary of JD-6, and our receivers and Neal, said we played some Old School ball.
They said they thought they were about 1,000 tickets short of a sellout . - -Strap em -up Boys - -it's gonna be juiced -- - these are the games w have to stand up and prove we belong- -- - LET'S DO THIS- -- ROCK CHALK
@wissox said in Let’s talk Illinois:
Maybe because it’s the first time I’ll be seeing KU gridders in action since the 80s but my excitement for this game is going to distract me all week at work.
Brett Bielema is quite familiar to me since his days in Madison and so this game scares me a bit but on paper it’s one we should win. Illinois is a fairly talent rich state football wise but they lose recruiting wars to ND Michigan and mainly other BIG schools.
Illinois is also battling an infamous curse, the curse of chief illiniwek, the once proud authentic mascot of the university that dressed in and danced in a costume that honored the Illini tribe but was nonetheless removed. Illinois sports have been not the same ever since. I proclaimed the curse after a bad loss on yahoo commenting and started doing so regularly and I’m sure others may have had the same thought but it is a thing now at least a little. Since I was an Illini fan as a kid growing up in the state before I even knew what a Jayhawk or Badger was I still pay attention to them a little.
A road win at even a mediocre BIG team will be looked at favorably come December so this is a great chance for us to make a statement.
We need to take care of business. To prove we are a quality team , you need to be able to go on the road and play your game. I think we have good chance to win but, can't afford silly turnovers and have our D-line stnaf up. This will not be a gimme but still think we should be able to win. - -- Illinois is Big , O- Line has to protect our Qb.
Draft Kings ahs an early line where we are Six point favrites. - For what it's worth I'll say anyway KU 37 -Illinois - -24. I got lucky last week missed by three, hope I'm right here , should be good game on the road.
The ACVA rankings still has us a the 13th ranked team.- - -To nobody's surprise- - -Yes Texas is s ranked # 1- - ---& Nebraska is ranked # 2
Nebraska ha an attendence of 8,675 for the match against TCU last week. -- -nothing new.
Have seen multiple ranks and they all have KU up to # 2o now. -- -Also saw that Draft Kings has an opening line for our game and they have us as a six point favorite.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Ladies Volleyball off and running:
@jayballer67 where at?
off the womens eankings, I'll have to see how it lists, but would be willing to beet they move up possibly to 11th would be my guess
@mayjay said in These money hungry idiots / Disney ? ESPN /Direct TV:
@jayballer67 Yeah, Disney is mad they got enjoined from a streaming agreement merger (with Fox and Warner Bros) because of antitrust concerns. They are demanding that Direct TV expressly waive any right to ever raise antitrust issues caused by Disney's practices. They are also demanding that any new contract has to include DirectTV agreeing that all future litigation has to be heard in California rather than NY (a New York federal judge is the one who issued the injunction).
Just sign up for a month of Sling or Hulu or Fubo or YouTubeTV. This dispute might get uglier before it gets solved because it isn't just about the fees as it usually is. Disney seems determined to use its economic power to force unrelated concessions by other businesses...kind of ironic if they don't want to be seen as a megalopoly.
Well I called Direct TV and just flat ssk how they wee going to reimburse me the money I paid for something I'm not getting to see , I said the one's getting screwed in this is John Q Public instead of you idiots. - They said they will credit my account. They crediting my next month's bill 20.00. They said hopefully it won't b e more then a week lol.
There is a site they sent me too for further information, made some sense. - -They said thee that as far as missing games for one, ESPN usually only shows one NFL game a week and gave options fir that. - -They also broke down the SEC Conference and talked about the Station's that carried them and ho wit would or would not effect hem - -Broke down the Big 12 and said most of Big Twelve games were either on Fox or FS-on which is true so all in all didn't turn out to bad -- still BS though
Our 13th ranked Ladies off and running, they will probably be higher next poll , but they are - -3 ---0 so far.
They have won 8 - 9 games so far, beating South Carolina - - -3 - - 0 - - -- Beat Duke - -3 -- -1 -- &-- - Colgate- - - -3 - - 0- -, great start ladies , next Up Wichita State. -- Leet's do this

Colorado won one game before Deion arrived. He hasn’t hurt that program one bit. They would be getting zero attention and recruits without Deion. Not saying I approve of his style, but Colorado sucks at sports.
Sanders is Coaching off his name- - NOT his his coaching ability or reputation.. The things that has happened since he has been there is un-acceptable. The things being reported that haas taken place in the locker room from former players , thought he was slick from banning a reporter because the reporter wouldn't kiss his ass and Sandes refuses him in because he was asking legit questions.
Sands thought he was going to be cute , came in his first year and had a SIXTY PLUS turnover roster, most through the portal -- thought instant winner, what happens ?- -Colorado led the nation in having their QB sacked - -FIFTY ONE TIMES - FIFTY ONE1! ! ! , SO he promptly goes out and does the same thing this year. Not a very impressive win against someone they should have rolled.
To say Colorado sucks at sports is not necessarily true either. Coach Boyle always seems to have a very solid Basketball team , far from sucks, and I can remember not THAT LONG in the recent past where their foot ball team would most the time and kick our ass right behind Nebraska & Oklahoma taking their turns on a yearly bases - -they might not be great but they don't suck
He has player taking cheap shots on opposing players that even Colorado fans are saying is not right - - -hitting players way afterwards they are out of bounds and hitting he fences - -( Travis Hunter ) to be specific - -what's Sanders do ? - --Nothing. He should at least talk to Hunter and say that's not how we play here. The good thing is that the word is that he is probably gone just aftr his son Graduates , so at least that will be a bonus

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Remember When roles reversed ?:
I remember when we whipped Nebraska. We were there.
Ya I do remember that year, we crushed them I think didn't we score close to 73 points that game ?-- -I was eating up every second of that game.-- To bad we didn't have more of them
Hey guys do you remember when just like last night only the roles were reversed?- - -I do, night mares. Good to be on he winning side.
I remember when like we played Nebraska or Oklahoma and we would get out ass handed to us on a platter time after time after time We would be down like 56-0 at the half
and yet Osborne- - Switzer would leave his starters in- - run that score up all day long I remember Bosworth on the sidelines clowning around with his friends shoulder pads off and him and the boys firing what fans w did have left just trying to get under our skin.
I am so glad to see Lance and staff sit the starters in the 2nd half , nothing really to be gained , other then the chance of someone getting hurt and possibly our for length of time.-- One thing and Coach has mentioned this is -- we are getting depth and it showed, our 2nd unit O-Line was respectable, Our RB's did ok - -Morrison - - -Johnny-- - Stewart, were solid -- - it was good to get them snaps. Ballard looks like a quality Back up GB- - with what he has showed against K/State last year , this game against Lindenwood I think not magic but solid. I would of like to see Marshall but understand , Coach said they want to manage his four game red shirt status.
Bottom line is we have turned this around. Sure not perfect last night but still decent. Not bad after the first like ten minutes of the first quarter. --Yes , True it was Lindenwood and we are going to have to play better against Illinois on the road BUT a few years back this game - -we would of been lucky to win by ten. - -It's called progress- - - ROCK CHALK
I would Pretty much basic standard offense, no showing anything special - - pretty basic say that what was about what you would expect for he 1st game of the year Glad no injuries,. A little surprised Ballard came in quite that soon but was OK, now get after Illinois
Well came pretty close on my Score I had KU 51----Lindenwood - - - --3
Don't think we reveal to much in a game like this. Run base/ basic offense , maybe just a very small bit.
Illinois is suppose to be worse then last year will be physical but we should fine. Our O-Line should be very physical also.
LG , - -Ford (6'3-- 305 , -LT Cabeldue - - ( 6'6 - -315 ) C - - Foster - - ( 6'6 - -330 -) RG Baynes - - (6'4 - -320 ) - - RT - -Brown - - - (6'6 - - -315 )
That's a very solid line. Not only weight BUT Height too. Backup's good size also
Well it's time like to hear your predictions, week one--- Lindenwood.
Here is mine - -KU- -51 - --- Lindenwood- 3 -- -- just enough to cover. - - OK now let's hear yours - -ROCK CHALK
@kjayhawks said in Lindenwood Lions:
I’m both excited and nervous over Jalen playing, he has to for sure but yes one hit on him and we are gonna be lucky to make a bowl game. I’m also excited at the same time to see him play and hopefully return to form because he can be a special player. Also something that hasn’t really been mentioned yet is new offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes gets to debut
his offensive for the first time. Coach K was brilliant and is IMO one of the best young offensive minds in the game. Well wishes to him at PSU, the pre snap movement and glitches were an art.
Been hearing from one close to the program watch for more shots down the field ---stretching the field, using our receivers a little more
Remember used to think about the same thing about KU football lmao ?- Laughing stock of the Nation

He is fixed on getting the North East market. That's another thing that was mentiooned- -how long if we added U Conn would it be before they wanted to move the Big Twelve tourney to the Garden.
Oh another thing didn't know, when U Conn plays Basketball in Hartford Conn -they get charged, the best thing they can hope for in those games is break even or lose money - -just insane
At this point U Conn needs the Big twelve more then the Big twelve needs U Conn. U Conn needs to join a power Conference so they don't get left behind. Again right now their revenue payout is four-five Million for revenue payout - -their Athletic dept is losing thirty-forty million a year.
Why now ? Why now should the Big Twelve be in a hurry to add U Conn with so many risks ? -Why not wait and see how this ACC implosion plays out .- - -If things go like they are saying teams are going to be looking for a place -Louisville has talked to the Big twelve, they want to come bad.- -possibly Louisville-- - VT - - Pitt -NC State or Miami. Strong chance Big twelve goes to twenty team conference. -Like being said no way can the SEC or Big 10 could ignore or acknowledge big twelve as a P-3
Sure U Conn would be a greet add for Basketball , Big twelve already known as being the best in Basketball-- -you add U Conn and would undoubtedly be, no question ask. That is what Brett want's When it comes time for the next TV deal , he wants to separate Basketball from footballl -- Basketball have it's own deal - -he thinks Basketball revenue will soar and tight ow being said Basketball is under valued. -We all know and has been said - no way does the Big Twelve ever catch the BIG or SEC with revenue payout in football---- BUT they can say OK you have the best football and you want to try and leave us out -Great we have by far have the Best basketball and we are leaving you out. They are figuring revenue is Basketball is going to soar , the NCAA tourney going to expand again and there is more revenue. Football my pull big in football and we can't catch them but Yormork thinks we can close the gap

There is a lot of stipulations for them to even be accepted, The Big 1 presidents want to know how invested they are in their football.The Big twelve doesn't want or need to be paying their way- -this athletic dept is losing 30-40 million a year, will they be able to pay their bills and produce quality football,- - their football add absolutely Zero.
A lot better chance of being added as a Basketball only member if they can decide to drop the football
See I hop we can get Jalen out s possible without injury -- with Jalens injury history as you know we are only one hit away from our season probably taking a complete 360.- -I just keep seein during the course with opponents also knowing his history that someone - - -on a given night gonna take that late hit on Jalen trying to take him out - - -Jalen get's hurt and season is over for him --just a re-occurring nightmare I have-- I so hope I'm. - wrong. Jalen does his business and turns it ov to Ballard / Marshall. We don't need him getting in hurt like a game like this. Protect your starter.
The more I hear today I just don't see ANY way for U Conn t get an invite from the Big 12. The biggest draw back a far as the Big 12 Presidents are concerned with I can't argue after hearing some numbers being thrown out and tat is the obvious one it's U Conn football The main question being raised from the presidents is can we the ( Big 12 ) afford U Conn football ?
U Conn's whole financial status is one huge mess , the Big downfall for U Conn in football is they have to pay rent on their Stadium , as they don't have an on Campus Stadium- - - -they have to pay for Parking- - and they have to pay a ticket sur charge.. One thing the Big 12 is using as requirements is the football doesn't join till 2031 , and they have many requirements that would have to be met to show they are invested in football.
Right now U Conn is making about 4-5 million from revenue , if they come to the Big twelve the revenue sharing right now is right about 40 million-- -quite a jump for them ,the Presidents just feel that's not a good investment in U Conn's current state. - Yes U Conn would have to come in at a reduced share, being mentioned probably 20 million, but at the earliest the football would not come in till 2031 , which just happens to be the new Tv contract comes around. People close to the source in the Big 12 say Big twelve expects the Next TV deal to be right around 90 .
The way the State o Conn---U Conn handles the money is a mess. , their Athletic Dept running at a deficit at 30-40 million a year , crazy set up Their Athletic Dept has to pay the State , then the State then turns around and pays the University , who then turns around and pays the Athletic Dept - - -WTH LOL. Yet the question remains can the Big 12 afford to add U Conn , another big question arises even if U Conn happens to meet the requirements that is given to them for their football, are they invested ? --Their football brings Zero Brand -- Can they pay what it takes with the or paying their revenue sharing which is right at 20 million pe School , plus all their other expenses -we could get stuck on the revenue share- -Lot's of questions.
Bout the only way U Conn get's and invite is as if they drop their football, they would still have their other sports but not football and so far U Conn hasn't even entertained that thought - -they need to they are only one of two teams independent in football , the other being Norte Dame -- -drop your football down to Division two and good to go, I don't think they get the invite -- The only way they come more likely is Basketball only , which sources are saying vey likely could happen but that is down the line
