@jayballer73 Didn't look like a decent crowd to me. Box score says 31,000. Exciting though none the less.
that's sad. If my dam truck wasn't broken down would of like to gone. Then again on the other hand - - how many fans do you think we would of had there for this game last year ? -- about 1/2 of that. - -Gonna take time I reckon but slowly but surely they will be back. - -This team is bringing excitement back to the field. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mercy it's nice to have a decent play calling OC - - Carter has really come alive - - we better recruits coming in - -which we do have coming in - -got some 4 stars coming in - -still in the running for another stud running back - - and the way we are playing this year being competitive not getting blown out - - - -there is no way but for it to help even further our recruiting - -love this so much fun to be actually to watch a game instead after the 1st quarter saying WELP Ballgame.
Man guys and gal's - - can you believe it? -I mean decent amount of fans in the stadium again , some electricity , - - can you believe that we still have any interest in a football game heading into the last part of October ?
Can we fully understand exactly just how close this team actually is to being 6-2 instead of 3-5 ? - - Does Coastal Carolina ( No Pooka Williams ) - - - West Virginia - - -- Texas come to mind?
Dam I'm proud of these guys - -they don't give up. - Just to have a OC that has that confidence in his QB - -that QB knowing he has his Coach's support -Yes his 1st pass of the game was dum - -YET that pass to Robinson hit him right on the money - - full stride - -how sweet was that ?
We looked bad a lot during the game - - mercy we have to some how shore this run defense up - -really bad , BUT guys were coming - -people gonna have to start taking notice - - this is a DIFFEENT KU team - - - - -Were Coming - -
Let me ask what were we looking for this season? - -we was looking for progress right? - - We got that - - We were looking for competiveness right? - - -We got that. - -We have only not been in ONE game - - TCU, - -we coming. take notice

@jayballer73 I looked at Tech's stats and they rely on the pass way more than rushing. Their passing yds is twice the amount of rushing yds. So, if our doggone secondary will show up, maybe our rushing offense will outscore Tech.
ummmmm ,psssssst - - guess what? -- they killed us running the ball. -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
I'm hoping we the fans will get out and back the team tonight. If we have less then 35-40,000 tonight will be a major disappointment.
It's tie we let them know we are seeing they're progress. - -ya ya I know - - am i going - - No - BUT because my truck is broke down and in the shop entire new clutch system - - yippee. - -these guys need our help let the opposing team there is some fire.
I say - -KU 34 - - -Tech 31 - - - -Tech is giving up 184.7 yards rushing per - -( 93 rd ) - - in the nation - - - an average of 4.57 per rush attmpt - -BUT we haven't stopped anybody in their rushing - -we have got to get stops - -they average 150.7 yards rushing - that might not be good for us - -we are giving up 223.4 yards rushing per game - - dam that sucks - -a 4.9 per clip - -you get 5 yards per makes the offense pretty simple - -time to shut it down - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Classic Choklahoma.
K-State tried giving it away - another 2 minutes they would of been screwed
Guys K-State making Oklahoma looking like a joke. - -They're doing ANYTHING they want against these fools. -Skyler Thompson is killing them. - right now 48-23 - -are you kidding me?
Not feeling quite as well about our chances next weekend. - - Those dam little bubble screens and the QB draws are lethal for them

What was the final score?
believe it ended up 86-59
found this surprising. - -KU actually leads the Big 12 in Red Zone Scoring defense. - -with a rating of 80.0 - - 28/35 - - Baylor is 2nd - -20/24 - - Okla St 21/25 - - so things could be worse I reckon - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Marco said:
They left the Big12, so I don't really care if we play them or not. Tradition meant nothing to them, so ("not all of them wanted to leave the Big12, Marco!") why should we renew the series. They've been nothing special since the days of Norm - coach is right, we stand to gain nothing from it (Machiavelli).
They don't get squat from me. - - - Bad idea to give these guys any revenue from this game - - - - -SCREW - - - MIZ - - -ZOU

@jayballer73 Did you get to watch the BB exhibition game? We had a few people commenting during the game and I don't recall seeing your observations. RC
ya I watched it for sure. - -just wasn't here for the game chat - -seen some good , yet seen things that were along ways from good - -but it's fine - were gonna be fine. - - Braun looks like he might be a little better then what some thought - -looks like he is going to be able to help.
one of my favorites Wilson showed he wasn't afraid to shoot - -lol - -maybe not necessarily a good thing at this point , but in all seriousness I think once he starts to find himself -he too can help us a lot. - - -Enanura not spelt right sorry - -long - -long wingspan - everything looks like gonna come smooth - -maybe a nickname - - ( Smooth ) - -needs to find his shot - - - Freshman nerves -gonna take some time.
Abajbi dam spelt wrong again anyways - -looks like he might be ready to really bring it - - - Marcus shot looks ALOT better - -if he can bring any kind of consistency with his shot - - this team can become lethal - - David looked like a fish out of water the other night - - Yet when asked Coach Self said when asked who his most improved player was from last year to this -- he said McCormack - - hands down - -we gonna be ok - - just take some work - -we got to remember - -they even had a line on THIS game - it was 32 - - we won by 30 and that was without probably our best player - - Dotson or Moss - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I wish 247 updated there "targets" page so we had a idea of who they are actively recruiting.
As far as I know it’s only Thompson and Robinson in 2020. I think getting Gethro put the kabash on Mading.
Robinson not coming here - -he is almost gift wrapped to Arkansas. - I was worried about them with him - -figured it would come down to us or them - think he is done

Another good game for Graham with 24 points and 4 assists off the bench, but, man, the Hornets are bad.
Damm didn't see that .that's our boy - - -DEVONTE - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
The big key for us tonight is being able to take care of the ball - -no give aways. - - was listening to the Texas Tech play by play guy last night in an innerview with local sports guys here off Topeka radio - -he said they are good at taking the ball away - - creating turnovers - have like 9 in the last 3 games - -making the QB uncomfortable -we can't afford to hand them the ball over and over and expect to win.
Carter has got to make good reads - -be smart - - he was saying that actually Texas Tech was actually feeling a little better with our change in OC and the RPO - -cause he said the RPO that this league plays almost weekly , so not really much new to prepare for this- -the key he said for them to win was obviously was containing Pooka. - said the kid is a freak with break away anytime he touches the ball. - -we just got to play smart - -Tech's defense is better for sure then Texas - -we can win this thing if we play smart.- -let's do this - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You'd have to glue my eyes open to get me to watch a jacka** festival such as KSU exhibition basketball.
na man it was on the radio - -just wanted to see what they were working with
Have to laugh , Wyatt Thompson announcing the game , and complaining about the officiating - - lmao -- in a exhibition. - -and they continue to cry.
Gordon sounds like he is going to be very solid for them - 12 points in the 1st half they up 18 in the 1st half against Emporia State

I read somewhere that the staff had been working with Doke on shooting free throws - - Rick Barry style and was doing quite well - - what happened?
That was a joke post by @HighEliteMajor if memory serves.
oh , ok - -- my bad lol
FarmerJayhawk said:
Just watched the episode. I have one observation: I will have Brent Dearmon’s babies.
LMAO - - you stop that -- he is mine lol
I read somewhere that the staff had been working with Doke on shooting free throws - - Rick Barry style and was doing quite well - - what happened?
you could for sure tell Silvio hadn't played for some time pretty ragged for 3/4th of the Game. - - Doke looked dis-interested/mad - un-impressive, came across like he wanted to be somewhere else until the end - -he has work to do
Really like Braun - -solid - -he is gonna help , more then I thought possibly this year. - -Marcus shot just looks a lot better - don't have to worry about when he shoots it - -it's not like a lazer that's gonna bust the backboard hitting off it - -actually looks decent
The team as a whole looked rusty , they mentioned Coach said at practice they looked really bad - I wouldn't quite say that but got work to do - -hey it was 1st scrimmage. - -I look at it this way the spread was 32 points -- it was like 33 right at the last until very late -- and that was without Dotson OR Moss - -so ya we gonna be ok - -give a little time. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Always good for that1st practice. - Some thoughts: - - glad this was exhibition. - - -Silvio showing the rust, think he will be ok - - -kinda disappointed from the big aspect - Combo reason - either the big's weren't working hard enough to catch the ball inside - -OR the wings weren't working hard enough to get the ball inside - Our Big's should of had a field day tonight.
Marcus looks like he might have improved his shot a bit - - - Braun had a nice game , he looked pretty comfortable to me actually - -looked like a nice all around game for him - might play more then we thought. - -Give Enaruna a little time -- he be ok
Free throws still suck at times - but it will get better 1st scrimmage - everyone shaking off some rust - - we won - -another week of practice and on to the next one - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well Scott chasen FWIW just put his CB in for Bryce to KU - yte he is the KU insider so FWIW -- yet still just more sign that Bryce maybe leaning our way. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Guys just got through watching episode 12 - - Heart Break in Austin. - -I know this is going to sound corny maybe/ cliché But you know what I love coach Miles. - -I mean you listen to this guy in his environment on the field and locker room - -you can see why these guys would go to war with him - the guy just oozes class - what a leader. - -makes me want to hobble out there and play for the guy.
I know this has been said this year BUT Man , this IS the guy that is going to get this turned around - I just feel it , this team has been competitive all year except the one - -you can see the transition coming progress my friends step by step
Still not seeing mass de-commits and early date coming before long - has a nice class coming in - - still ranked like 36th in the Nation - - been along time since that kind of class - Just need a QB - -no not talking bad on Carter - -but he is gone after this year - - we are just ONE solid QB away from huge step
Just saying how could you not love Coach and this Staff - - shore up the D lil bit - we have pieces - -Potter gonna be a stud - -got some really good guys coming in - -love the offensive scheme - -tell you what WERE COMING - other teams will know who we are soon my friends - -oh ya they WILL KNOW
Coach Self made the statement that this recruiting class could be one of the best he has had for awhile.
There is wording here that makes me wonder other then Bryce. - -Could be that there is STILL another. - -I know there had been discussion , among fans can't remember if it was from here or another site, where fans posted that this might be a year of surprise - - - maybe a recruit we really hadn't heard hardly anything about , saying that brings me to this.
Yes I feel a lot of us are starting to feel better with Bryce , but I too have felt we very well could still have another. - -We all know there has been talk about Mitch Red-shirting for the Reasons of needing him worse NEXT year more then this - -up front will be thinner.
All of the above brings me to this possibly. - - -We just offered Frank Anselem a 6'10 from Prolific Prep California - -Frank is in the Class of 2021 but like Javonte has the option of re-classifying to 2020 and is expected to do so he says. - - -So Frank stated about KU : - -
KU is a great School with lots of History and tradition , They are one of the most successful Colleges in America in both Academics & Basketball - - The fans are lit - - - It's Great. - - I can play the Four or Five , KU runs a lot of Ball screens , so I think I'll fit perfectly. - - Makes me wonder is Frank a surprise? - -with our thinner front Court next year he might be talking about? - -ranked currently # 60 - -Other Schools interested in him -Oregon - - just offered - -- also Arizona - - Arizona State - - USC - -yet you go to 247 and it Shows LSU with 2 CB'S - - - -but anyways - what ya think? - - Maybe another commit? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Man Shaad at it- -teasing lol - re-tweeting pics of him in KU uniform, -The tweet is the pic of him in the KU uniform and stating LEGIT - - - then he post about this dual would be basically lethal - -thinking pretty much talking about him and Pooka. - - - I know he and Pooka are pretty good friends and follow one another - - mercy I just got this feel thinking we got a very legit shot - -I want this guy bad - - almost as bad as I wanted Devon in Basketball - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Watching the highlights of Devonte last night seemed like a replica of his career here. Glad he's getting an opportunity to shine. Take advantage of it while he can.
looked really sweet. - - but man seeing him go 6-7 from the three- - - loved it, I hope so bad that he can make a stick and get some quality playing time.
Side note what about our other boy? = = Frank. - -hope he is hanging in , anyone know , is he on a roster this season / and where thanks ?
Now all I need to see is Evan Daniels put his pick in for Bryce and I'll be good to go - -Evan is usually pretty spot on, I myself rely on him the most

Self on the recruiting effect of the NCAA news: "Recruiting is hard regardless. When you're recruiting at an elite level, you've got obstacles every year. ... It's something we certainly explain out and are very transparent with what's going on. ... I would say it has definitely had an impact."
Self says he also thinks KU could have one of the better early signing periods the school has had "in a long time."
That last quote caught my attention...
( Self said he thinks KU could have one of the better early signing periods the school has had in a long time ? - - - -hmmmmm - - -more then one more signing
Well just doing some random thinking. - -I know that' usually scary for me lol. Anyways got to thinking read where Boynton was in to see Bryce yesterday & Shaka was into see Bryce too.
Got me to wondering trying to fit this puzzle - -the pieces together , with the little smoke and a few CB'S that we have picked up for Bryce recently and then these Coach's coming in to see him yesterday - -you don't suppose do you that there might be a possibility that he was bringing these Coach's in to tell them about his commitment and thanking them for his recruitment? - - I know Shaka I don't think was really a serious contender was but know Okie St was in there at least at one time. - With him taking his last visit and such and making the statement that after his last visit he would get together with his parents and talk about things?
Could be his decision is coming really soon & he notifying Coach's. I was curious what the talk was on the North Carolina board and read where I guess there was some kind of insider that said that the longer this went on he thought helped KU more - - Plus people saying the Davis commit hurt their chances with Bryce.
Almost comical reading their comments about how dirty KU was and couldn't figure out why ANY parent would want their kid to come play at such a dirty program. - - - Seriously - - Really this coming out of the mouths from all the crap they had going on? - Talking about how Bill Self has made a mockery of the game since he has been at KU - - lmao.
Talk about how they had thought Oklahoma was a figure but heard that Oklahoma had made a last ditch effort with Bryce having the Thunder practice on their floor when Bryce took the official visit and then followed him home to visit with him. - -UNC talking said that since Bryce hadn't committed to them yet they felt like their chances were not so good - -I really haven't hear much about UNC and Bryce lately I think their cooked - - it's OU & KU I like our chances.

So basically under the new rules, you can test the waters, lose your scholarship spot, and transfer without sitting just because your scholarship was gone?
from the sounds of it - - pretty whacky - -and yet kids who are wanting to transfer closer to home because of sick relatives in some situations are NOT granted waiver - -how crazy is that
Even though I wish nothing but the best - -this is yet STILL another reason the NCAA is a fricking joke.
Local sports show saying the reason Quentin was Granted his waver? - -Because Quentin - said there was no Scholi for him to return to KU.
Like the host of the program said - -no ill will against Quentin - - BUT for him to be granted because of that - -then you have some that want to transfer out to be closer to family that may be ill and not be granted a waiver for immediate eligibility - - is just insane. - - -ONLY THE NCAA - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It's pretty clear that Grimes was not welcome back at KU.
I don't see the need to pile on the kid at this point. I hope he lights it up at Houston.

wissox said:
@jayballer73 So then we'll kick their tails. It's a game I will look forward to every year. My memory of playing Missouri was it was never a guaranteed win. That will still hold true i believe, especially now that they have a decent coach. Cuonzo Martin is a man I've always enjoyed watching, all the way back to his high school playing days in Illinois.
If Missouri is a crap school then we're a crap school because they're just about evenly ranked academically according to US News and World Report. I hate them just as much as the next Jayhawk fan, they're right down there with the Packers, and Cubs, just below the Yankees on my hatred scale. But I want to play them.
So with me saying all that I've said. - - Now that's it is going to happen , just curious if they - ( meaning the Big 12 & the Sec ) if they will use this as one if not more of a( Big 12/Sec Challenge ? - -think that might easily play out. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY)

Money is something to gain. If BMDs hated it they could have donated a lot to prevent it.
I'm all for it honestly.
I'd imagine significant amounts of money for just one game too...
Between Williams Fund donations increasing, season ticket price increases, TV rights, and whatever else they can sneak in, we're talking probably over $1M for just one game for each team.
that's 1 mill to much for them - -like they were just saying on the local sports talk radio.
They left the conference for quote business reasons - -more exposure - - not having to deal with Texas anymore - -sure doesn't help our strength of Schedule - - doesn't polish up our Tourney resume -by far - - - by FAR does more for them then us - - why would I want to do that? - -they left - -good do what you want to do - -but for them to come back now and want some action - - - ummmm NO

@jayballer73 The game is for the fans. I want to watch us play good schools. The media will talk about this one. The last time we played them was a big national story.
If you want to watch us play against a good school -- then you need to keep on looking - -this isn't the one for you
KU has nothing to gain from this - -like others have said this is truly all about money - -it's all about the revenue aspect.
From that stand point as a KU person - - why in the hell would I want one red penny going to that piece of crap School - - not one single plug nickel - -PERIOD. - -ya we gonna be sharing the profit revenue from this game - but if it were up to me these people wouldn't get zilch - - nadda -- zero - - NOTHING - they wanted out of the Big 12 - -wanted to dis-associate - good you did that, NOW that it's happened why as a member of the Conference you wanted out of - -thought you was gaining by joining the all mighty SEC - -why should we have ANYTHING to do with you? - - why should we allow you to gain anything from playing us? - -don't give me that rival crap - - rivals come - - rivals go at the end of the Day - were still KU - -were still in the Big 12.

Beating playing Mizzery doesn't help us anymore in recruiting by playing their sorry ass - - it would not help us that much more if ANY in the recruiting area of the game - - we already do quite well enough and very much hold our own in that area with out having to play these idiots. - just do NOTHING - - -NOTHING in playing these guys from KU'S standpoints but for SOME KU fans to beat their chests /bragging rights - - -and actually beating Mizzery really isn't a whole hell of a lot to Brag about. - -they bring nothing to the table from the SEC - -constantly getting their butts stomped in the SEC - - how gratifying is it to beat an also ran from the SEC ?
Sure now if we play and they beat us - -then they just wet all over themselves - thinking they have just won the NCA tourney - -cause in reality that's just about as close as they are going to get to winning the NCAA tourney - -THEN I could see ESPN using that as a lead - -but they sure do nothing to help us on the National scale in any area -- you create new rivals - Mizery is in the past - - old as dust - -time to move on - -nothing worth while to see here. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 What does KU gain from this? Sure it is great for some of the fanbase that want to see the game played, but there are a lot of fans that do not.
Mizzou is irrelevant in the KC Metro area now that they are in the SEC. This game changes that. Also, there program is never talked about nationally and very rarely on national TV. This game changes that. I just fail to see how this game does anything for the KU program. It is not even arguable that this game does FAR more for Mizzou than it does for KU.
Mizzou being "irrelevant in the "Metro Area" is laughable and one of the weirdest false claims people seem to be making. It's like they don't even venture East of state line. Mizzou is still well represented in KC...
One game a season is not going to change Mizzou's national status in basketball. Even if it is nationally televised.
Not playing our biggest rival every single season is stupid. It's what makes college sports more fun.
Who cares if someone gets more gain than the other? Are we actually so petty that we're going to hold a grudge for forever and ruin one of the best sports rivalries that exist?
The answer to your question of who cares is - - - - - - from the looks of things - - ALOT of people care - - that's who cares - -a lot more against this then in favor looks to me like - -we owe these pieces of crap NOTHING - - they ran out of the big 12 didn't want to associate /be associated with the Big 12 - -great - -get out - -this does nothing for us - -grudge or not period
