@jayballer73 9th against the run, that means they can't defend the run. Use Kendrick and exploit that weakness. Make Baylor prove they can stop the run before going to the passing game. If Baylor proves they can defend the run, then you can bring in Bender and try to pass against Baylor, but KU's initial gameplan against Baylor should be run, run, and run some more.

Oh I understand what your saying buddy - and I don't disagree necessarily it's just that if they load the box it's hard - Hell it's hard for a lot of teams not just KU to run when they load the box - and you know dam well they gonna target Pooka. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73

I hope Baylor does load up a bit. It will give KU's receivers some favorable matchups to exploit one on one. Do that a couple times, then hit them with Williams once they back out of the box.

See this is what I'm hoping for also.- That's why I thought and just read that yes - -Bender will start , hopefully he can hit enough to make them respect the passing game to a degree. - get them to back off and then bring in Kendrick. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Does Kendrick start or Bender • Sep 18, 2018 04:26 PM

Going to be interesting Saturday . Even though I much prefer Kendrick over Bender Saturday might lead to at least starting Bender once again. At the present Baylor is 9th in the league against the run giving up an average of 181 yards per. - - -Ku is 2nd in the league in rushing averaging 225.7.

Anyone can see course we know this is coming anyways but you can take it to the bank Baylor is going to load the box for sure to make us throw and try and stop the run. Were going to have to be able to keep them honest. Not saying I don't want Kendrick to play but I think we have to start Bender for this one at least see how it goes. - Hell who knows Baylor might be so committed to stop the run that Bender maybe just maybe might be able to complete some passes - -then when they adjust - - we bring in Kendrick. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

2019 Recruiting • Sep 18, 2018 02:31 PM

Was reading some of the comments from Williamson last night after his commitment - -kind of interesting /intriguing . some even I thought was humorous in comparison with KU.

He says he built a better relationship with Coach Mack then any other head Coach recruiting me. ( that means even his dream school's head coach0 REALLY? He won't let me fail when it comes to reaching my dream. ( what Coach would ) if you truly have that capability ?

This was REALLY interesting : Louisville fan base was also a deciding factor - - - ALWAYS wanted to play at a basketball school with rich tradition. - -hmmm what the hell is KU ? chopped liver AND fanbase? - get that crap out of here. KU sure the hell no football school. - not yet anyways lol.

Then here comes the stroking - tell the kid EXACTLY what he wants to hear. - - They said I can come in and make an impact right away, hell you could of done that here too. - -Thing is I get the impression he wanted to start , I don't think that would be happening at KU. but could still make a big impact. that was important to him. - Also wanted to pick a school where he could compete for a National Championship -- HUH , guess KU NEVER competes for a National Championship huh - -ya right.

Oh yes of course they do -- Significant role as a freshman/ again same here - - - Ahh here we go All ACC rookie team/ Freshman of the year player, well good luck - he is a good player but w shall see got some pretty good competition for that. - interesting comments to say the least.

Fair enough but those would be huge upsets since OSU and TCU are top 20 teams and Texas is now #33 and climbing. The passing game better pick up because conference defenses are going to get ready to stop the run. We will have a better idea after the Baylor game.

KU is listed as a 7.5 point underdog to Baylor, arguably the worst team in the conference not named KU...and the game is in Lawrence. Do you really believe KU wins 3, 4 or 5 conference games? I really wish it would but I just don't believe it will.

No your wrong , the game is at Baylor not in Lawrence. - -7.5 underdog? - well it's getting better it was at 9.5. - There are a lot of Baylor fans that think they are in trouble with us Saturday. - I'm like you though I don't see us winning many conference - -Baylor maybe , who else? - - K-State? - - maybe very little bit but maybe. - -Texas Tech? - -no way -- Iowa State probably not - wish we would and who knows we might sneak a 2nd somewhere.

Losing Williamson is on the staff, no other way around it. Kid is one of the best shooters in the country and I think is a player just starting to realize what he can become. Louisville deserves credit for out recruiting Self here.

If we whiff on JRE then its time to hit the panic button. It's been trending this way anyway since the summer. Certainly doesn't look like we have a clue what's going on either from a fan's perspective

Sounds like Self misread and misplayed a couple situations. In recruiting that can bite you. Not closing Williamson with all his ties to the program is pretty bad no doubt about it.

I'm not even sure where they turn now, there are no good realistic options at the 2/3. The staff was pretty all-in on Williamson. Braun is nowhere near an adequate replacement.

He may not be that adequate replacement but he might be the only choice at this stage - and that's sad. - Same way on the Big's GOD forbid we lose JRE and that could very easily happen - -and then If UK ends up taking Hurt? - - - gives a bad look for our staff this year - - who you going to replace them with? -- Sure sounds like the staff screwed up with Williamson

I had read a poster from another site that said he had told people that Self had pissed Williamson's mom off if that's true - -that's really sweet..

Same poster also said that Hurt & JRE are far from locks , and i'm having a tendency to agree - have been hearing that UK is really making a push for Hurt and closing in and closing fast - -Like Betty said turning into a dumpster fire - - this sucks if it turns out. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Losing Sam Williamson to Louisville would be rough.

ARE WE LOSING Sam Williamson? - -to Louisville?

here is a heads up • Sep 16, 2018 03:23 PM

Just read this - - this morning my friends so heads up:

The Trump administration will send a message on Thursday to ALL US cell phones to test a previously unused alert system that aims to warn the public about National Emergencies. The message will read " Presidential Alert " FEMA said this week that phones will make a loud sound and have a special vibration said FEMA which will send the Alerts.

The test is scheduled for 2:18 p.m. EDT on Thursday it will read " THIS IS A TEST " of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System , no action is needed. ALL US cell phone users WILL NOT be able to opt out.

Former President Barack Obama signed a law in 2016 requiring FEMA to create a system allowing the President to send cell phone alerts about regarding Public safety emergencies. In the case of a widespread severe weather or another significant event on Sept 20th the test will be pushed back to Oct 3rd FEMA said.

The administration will send a test alert via radio and television broadcasters two minutes after the cell phone alert , it will innerupt programming for about one minute FEMA said. Cell towers will broadcast the WEA test for approximately 30 minutes beginning at 2:18.

In January Hawaii issued a false alert of a missile attack that went uncorrected for 38 minutes after being transmitted to mobile phones and broadcast stations causing widespread panic. -- In April the FCC blamed that false Alarm on human error and inadequate safeguards.

Just giving my friends a head up- when you Cell phones go spastic on Thursday now you KNOW why. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

See this is what I love about this year's team. We have so many combinations we can run/pit out on the floor- -how you gonna stop it? I think you will see so many different types. We can play big we can play small - -were going to be able to run - - be able to block/defend. Our guys are going to be match up nightmares. - -We can paly Doke at the 5 - - Dedric at the 4 Vick at the 3 - or hell we can even play KJ at the 3 sometimes - - - back up Doke at the 5 with either Silvio OR McCormick - - or you can have Silvio backing up Dedric at the 4 sometimes- - -- or we can even have Mitch backing up Dedric in certain spots.

The guys will be much more aggressive on defense because of depth- -guards can be way more aggressive knowing they have back line help if they get beat - -we have the rim protectors. - The bigs can be more aggressive for rebounds and blocks again because of the depth - -it can be insane what we throw out on the floor. - Should be very interesting. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Seth Littrell - My new Number 1 Candidate • Sep 15, 2018 01:52 PM

i will say again I don't believe Beaty will be fired during the season. I think Long will be scoping the landscape throughout this year and then AFTER the season- - - depending on how it goes he will make that decision , I just don't think he will want to disrupt the team ANYMORE then what it already is.

I still think what I would like to see if it comes to yet ANOTHER Coaching change , Ideally for me what I think maybe do under the perfect scenario for me would be - -Everyone talking Les Miles - -Les Miles - all thought I don't think we have a snowball's chance in hell of that happening - - -One I just don't think he would want to take on such a huge task this late in his career and two his age.

However IF we did manage to get Miles on board sign him to like a 4-5 yr contract and during that time have him tutoring Tony, let Tony be his understudy, learning the ropes Miles teaching as he goes - Let Tony get that feel/understanding. - -Then when Les retires , bring Tony on as the head Coach. - Obviously Tony's ties in recruiting in the boot does and would still have huge advantages.- I just can't see where it would hurt us any worse then where we are at right now

I've had friends say well the new Coach will want to clean house - - bring in his guys. To that I say great , but if I were the new head Coach Tony would be THE ONE GUY that if I were the new head Coach that I would at least sit down with and talk to and see if we clicked and possibly retain him.

we still seem to want to throw that dam little screen/flare out in the flat. - We need to get that dam thing out of our playbook. not ONCE have I ever seen that produce anything positive. Seems like every time we try and run that - -the Defense is there before we even get the dam pass out to the receiver. - -GET RID of that dam thing. If we can't try and move the ball more vertically then horizonal then something is wrong.

Pooka seems like the real deal , we shall see. I'm going to try and contain myself some and see how he fares against BIG 12 defenses however that all depends on our O-Line they have to be able to create some holes for our backs to run through. We know that it isn't going to be any time before opposition starts keying on Pooka that's when Bender really has to step up and get other players involved. - -Sims needs to step up and be involved.

Better for them too they could focus elsewhere. - -I don't need to take anymore visits.

Here is an interesting question in view of how everybody seems to have OU at the bottom. In spite of his big numbers, was Trae Young a net positive or a net negative to the program? By catering to one player to the detriment of the team, did Lon Kruger damaged his career and coaching reputation?

I always thought he was a distraction - so my hype - -I think it got into his had and his play got worse bad decisions , turnovers, bad shots. He is going to be nothing more then an average NBA player - - unless he buys into the NBA role now cause in College he played absolutely zero defense I don't know how many times I saw him do the old ollay whiff when a player drove past him. I think even though nothing was made public I would bet you there was some team chemistry issues on that squad last year - - there was some that was saying Trae was all they had -- I call Bullsahit on that - they had some quality players.

A lot of the reasons when HE DID pass the ball it caught them off guard because the times were far a few in between - again he got to forcing shots wasn't the entire season but a long stretch - -these players aren't as bad as they were made out to be

OK , so I just got a question/comment. kinda of KU related but also just trying to bring out a point and didn't know where else to put/ask this.

So as I'm sure most anybody/everybody knows how the Kentucky People like to bragg on Coach C - almost a GOD gets all this talent right?
We also know or at least most do about how they bag on Coach Self talking about all our early exits from the tourney talking about as they say quote " Old Rug head as they like to call him - how he caves and we pretend to be blue bloods.

So here is my question/statement . - Read this from ESPN today question is: - -How many NCAA Titles has Calipari won since he has been at Kentucky? According to ESPN - -ONE as they talk about best case worst case scenario's for this year for each top 25 team - So at the present he has ONE since being at Kentucky. - - -HMMMMM.

Question how many has Coach Self have since being at KU ? - -Answer as we know - - - ONE. - -HMMMM

Question - how many SEC conference Championships ha Coach Cal won since being at Kentucky? - -will be going for his 5th this season.
How many BIG 12 championships has Coach Self won since he has been at KU ? - will be going for his 15th straight - NCAA record - - -HMMMM

So now someone please explain to me How Coach Cal is suppose to be so much more superior of a Coach again over Coach Self. - How many years have we beat Kentucky in a row? - - Answer 3 - All with Coach Self. - -HMMMMM If Cal is that much of a superior Coach then someone tell me Why Cal with all the 5 star talent - -pretty much the pick of the litter - pretty much the # 1 recruiting class year after year - -after year 5 star players - -WHY is it Cal only has ONE National title same as Coach Self at KU - -please explain to me how he is a Superior Coach? - They brag about he gets his kids to the NBA. Really? - -Is that because of his coaching ability ? - -OR is it just a matter of the player being that talented all those 5 star players already coming how much does Calipari - REALLY develop these players? - -Don't you think if we had those SAME 5 star players that Coach Self would be having the same kind of numbers getting these guys to the NBA ? - Just Curious - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wow re: TT to bottom. And thanks for the insights on Iowa States roster. I look forward to them being competitive. I've always liked their vibe, one ahole booster aside.

No Texas Tech isn't going to be al the way the bottom - - -I think the bottom third of the league is going to be a crap shoot

Thoughts going forward • Sep 10, 2018 03:30 PM

I said this Saturday , I was so dam happy - -WE WON how often do we say that? - - -Pooka is good - -really quick BUT like I said Saturday this was CMU let's see what happens against Big 12 defense's - There is no doubt he sure helps , but like was mentioned in this thread , you know or should know that it won't be long before they really attack him target him. - Again like was said it might open the passing game more hopefully -- OR play Kendricks more and run the option the dual threat. - Great win I don't care at this point who it was - any win we should take with open arms - And I did well with one arm - -my other arm/hand was wrapped around my Budweiser cold one tasted ALOT better lol.

As far as wins in the Big 12 I'm still very skeptical right now if we win one Big 12 game / beat Rutgers maybe we then have began the road back to some respectability Great win - -as Mark would say - - Keep chopping wood. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

In the 2nd half he goes 17-23 - - -271 yards and THREE TD'S with pretty much one leg and not sacked once as a pocket passer that is not to shabby
