Wish I could go to the bowl game , I think were gonna show up for sure. Think this could be a statement game show Americ we are on our way back - show our progress. Arkansas got hit hard by portal and declaring for NFL - pretty good team BUT I think we can play with them. - -Think it might be a track meet lots of points.

I think their board said they have lost like 23 players to the portal / NFL / or injury they said themselves kind of depleted. - Yet we can't help that, all we can do is play against who is on the field in front of us. - Hoping for a clean game & the boys are clicking --Want to hear them squeal when wqe stick it to them - - SOOOOOOOOOOOO--IEEEEEEEEE - - - ROK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well it's that time of year again - -Got a White Christmas - -but Cold ! ! !.

Just Wishing Merry Christmas to all Bucketer's - - -- Enjoy family , food & laughter. - Just be safe and come on back. Hope to see you on the other side. We have Championships to Chase /Win.

Good Night - -See you all for the Liberty , let our boys stand tall and whup some Hog butt. - -Arkansas has 23 plyers not playig in the bowl for one reason or another - - some key players too, hoping we can complete a really good Season. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG

@jayballer67 Malik Newman vibes

for sure, I mean you can tell he could just go OFF. - you know what on a side note - the mor I look at him - -he DOES look like Wayne Seldon some lol

I just drool when I think about the possibilities of MJ if he could just get his stuff right. - The kid I think could be huge for us

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs Haaaarvard Game Thread:

@wissox ha! It was on me. I asked about the crowd

Well thank you SIR lol

SOMEBODY - - -- WOKE UPPPPPPP - - HELLO ! ! ! !

kind of figure we would have a game like this - guys not into the game , they thinking about anything but this game - - going home. Bet you what , you won't see this in the 2nd half , well they better hope not anyways

@wissox said in KU vs Haaaarvard Game Thread:

As noted before they're being coached by a Duke guy so of course the foul count is 5-1 against us.

Exactly

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs Haaaarvard Game Thread:

The cold shrank the bucket

No - - -get it right lol - - The Cold made the Ball BIGGER

Man I hate these walk in the mud type games - -. just like watch 5 Sloths when Harvard has the ball

typical pre- Christmas start

They shoot the 3 relly bad - - 27 % - -free throws only like at a 66 % clip - - and fg at a 44 % clip - -let's take care of business. - -
Would like to get MJ a little floor time - - Udeh some - -let's do this

Kleinman and KSU actually have the #289th ranked class according to rivals. He is a hell of a coach and that is pretty salty.

https://n.rivals.com/team_rankings/2023/all-teams/football ↗

Yeah a top 30 class is very hard to pull off. Future is bright for them especially with Texas and OU leaving.

Have to keep him there… I would bet a lot of money this is his last season in MHK

You thinking KState Coach gone after this year?- -na he ain't going anywhere - -not this year anyways I don't think. - If he was he would have already been gone

@AsadZ said in Damm # 32 -Franco Harris Passes:

Sad news

Corner Stone really good playr

This kid just ooozes Confidence - - -Christan is an Absolute STUD. has done so well - -will not back down from ANYBODY. - he has that kind of cockiness - -that edge , that is one of the big things I really like about Christan when he was here with us. - Example draining the three and turning and staring at opposing bench and saying - -( BIOTCH ).

iF YOU CAN TALK THE TALK & WALK THE WALK - -AWESOME - GET YOU SOME . Christan will always be a favorite, looks like he making a name for himself in the NBA - -hope he succeeds does really well. - -Taht's our boy - - ROCK CHALK CHRISTAN

@BeddieKU23 said in Christian Braun:

Just an ABSOLUTE AWESOME post my friend , thanks for sharing

yippee - - Minus 4 degrees with minus 32 degrees wind chill - -feels awesome lol

Well our Ladies took their 1st loss to Nebraska tonight at Nebraska - - 85 - - 79 in 3 overtimes. - -Just couldn't gt that one stop when needed.

We trailed by as many as 13 - -fought back and it was on from their. - -Nebraska really good. - Hadn't lost at home -beat the crap out of Maryland by 20 plus and are 10-3 now, Nebraska had been ranked earlier this year. - -Still really proud of the Ladies took 3 overtimes to gt beat - - Still doing good ladies - - MERRY CHRISTMAS - ROCK CHALK

Still haven't heard or seen anything about the Ladies tonight - -OR the guys tomorrow night . - Ladies surpose to tip off in 15 minutes AT NEBRSKA would think it would be cancelled but heard nothing.

As far as I know guys are still on tomorrow night - -anybody hearing anything ?

We rank last in the big 12 recruiting for this yr- -- BUT what you have to keep in mind is - -we ( KU only had 12 commits -while other schools was at 24 -23 ,, 21 so you see these other schools had many more recruits. - -The average ranking of players shows we for sure are headed in the right direction, many players with scores of 85's - -86 - -and a few 87's

What these 86's and 87's mean is that recruiting analysts' are saying that these type of players can come in and right off the start from the get go - -these players are ready to contribute from the start, these players will or should make an impact from the start.

We are close to our limit for full of 85 - - they say we might be able to have 6-7 more in this class , we gonna lose maybe a few more after the bowl game

Talking like what would be great is if we could red shirt this entire Freshman class. - Don't think that's happening , were getting closer but not yet.

Were still young - when you figure we have 10- -11 returning on the offensive side and quite possible of having 20 -- of 22 in the two deep - that's awesome. This year Coach hit the defensive side pretty hard DL and some secondary exactly where we needed to be. - - Looks like he took care of our kicking issues - - FG'S - extra points - and kickoffs -- Coach L is Awesome

Dam sad day - - -Franco Harris passed away during the night. Passed away while sleeping, he was 72 years old - - Mercy didn't realize he was that old.

Great player , they was gonna celebrate the immaculate reception this weekend - 50 yr anniversary of that play. - You just rest Franco you was a beast - you just rest - you wil be truly missed in the Football world.

GOD Speed to the family

The staff addressing our biggest needs. - -DL and some secondary - -focus on defense - offense in pretty good shape still got some really good commits - -Hamm , etc

Got a friend of mine that lives in California. - -He was talking about our little running back we got a commit from -Name is Johnny Thompson I believe -- played for Oaks Christan - -or Christan Oaks which is one of the bigger Schools in California & probably he said one of the top ten High Schools in the Nation. - Thompson had originally committed to USC - said good little back - kinda same level as a Devin Neal probably , can always use solid backs such s this guy

Iowa State has cancelled their game for tonight and the women tomorrow or the other way around - -but either way they cancelled their game because of the storm.

They said the two Schools both believed it was the best thing to do , giving the athletes a chance to get out early and be able to get home and spend time with family over the holiday.

Just like I/we have said - -think this is the best thing to do - -& I think it will happen. - -Iowa State said their game wouldn't be r-scheduled

Lady Jay Hawks up to # 20 in the Nation in this weeks poll. - - -10 - -0 . - - Actually KU Ladies is the 2nd highest rated team from the Big 12 in the Nation right now.

Iowa State is 14th-- -KU is 20th ---- -Oklahoma is 23 rd - - -& Baylor is 24th - -Not to bad Ladies

Time guys for us to stand up - -be proud of our women - -ROCK CHALK -

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Other games:

They have Lively and Whitehead out but they still look pretty bad so far

U Conn down 7 to G' Town but half way through 2nd half. - - - G'Town was a 22.5 underdog going into their game tonight

Saw Duke was down by 12 in the 2nd half.

Duke down 9 at the half to Wake Forest

From TOS I guess we just picked up another flip - -another kicker that had been with Nebraska has hit 57 yard Fg's Charlei Weinrich ? - -I think is from Kansas was in the class of 22 - -left footed kicker

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

@KirkIsMyHinrich certainly doesn’t hurt us with him. Think we get Phillips (DT from CSU) in the near future as well.

Farmer your such a huge help for me. This is a sweet PU - -hoping we can haul some more. - -we really need that Defensive side of the ball. I think offensive side is looking good

Well I don't know who to believe anymore on this storm. - -Channel 13 - -or WIBW here in Topeka , the Weather guys just came on like 10 minutes ago and updated and the computer models are backing off the amount of snow some now- - now calling in general for anywhere from 1 -3 inches of snow in general for North Eastern Kansas.

If that turns out to be the case - -they MIGHT go ahead and try to play.

Yet right after I heard them say that , I turned to the National weather channel and they are still have us in a shade of blue on their map where will or they still predict we will get 3 -6 inches so who the hell knows?

Do we beleive local weather forcasters - -OR National ?

Down here in Houston, they are wrong every time. Yesterday was supposed to be from 4 to 10 inches of rain- i'll bet we didn't get an inch. I think they fib in order to get more viewership all the time.

I knew this guy some time back. He started school wanting to go into meteorology. - -He changed career real fast saying with that ,the slightest little change in pattern can make a huge difference

well dang- - -oh well

I know not the right area but not sure where it was - - had a question . Therre was a post or some comments here about a kid that's at Texas Tech I believe that was looking to transfer , can't remember his name but someone stated stats on his rebounding and such- -he was a big man. - -

Found out actually he could transfer and be eligible immediately -and the individual casually probably said maybe we ought to check him out or maybe if KU had any interest. - -I was just curious if there was any interest maybe. - For the life of me I can't remember his name. - - Just curious , he would be nice - -a really really long reach I know BUT doesn't hurt to wish

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:

@jayballer67 TE all the way

Boy I just seen some video of him from TOS - -mercy he just flat pancaked looked like two guys on a play - -holy bat crap lol. - -looks like really solid physical kid made some nice catchs - -nice blocks, and works for me as a TE. - -Just mentioned defense cause I guess there had been some talk about DE

@nuleafjhawk said in Things just got worse for K/State in Bowl:

@mayjay "KSU's superiority in football"

Best laugh I've had in a while. As bad as we've sucked lately, we still lead the all time series 65-51-5. Or whatever number you look at. Every site seems to report different numbers - but we're ahead in all of them.

There is no scenario anywhere ever where I root for KSU.

lol , pretty much. I mean they have been really good - -but they not Alabama good, and I think they will find that out

Let this sink in a minute guys. - - KU just beat the heck out of Indiana which were ranked 14th at the time - whether they are over ranked or not - -just beat the hall out of em - KU beats them by 22 , when your leading scorer and leading rebounder - -has scored in double figures every game this year- - Jalen goes 4 - -18 from the field and - - 1 -- 6 from the three and we STILL win by 22 pints

Some of Juan passes Saturday was just crazy - -the way KU passed the ball a lot of the game Saturday - was just incredibly good - -the ball for sure didn't stick-- kind of shows the capability of just how good this team can be - -.

if we can get any kind of production from our non starters like we did Saturday - -we got 29 points from Bobby , Zuby & others - -look out . .ROCK CHALK GUYS
