A fun bonus over/under is how many times will Texas Tech throw the ball this week? They threw it 55 times last week!! I'll put the number at 45, I'm picking under.

@jayballer73 it is the 100th year of the NFL.
Week 2 predictions: I like 35,000 fans, a few more than this past week without a holiday and with Pooka back. I like Kansas in a 31-13 victory. I think the offense will look better and more in rhythm with Pooka. I think the play calls were pretty vanilla last week and will be this week because our coach knows better than showing a ton to BC. I hope we are able to cut down on the turnovers.
I liked jesse when he was at the Lawrence journal world, but I think he has gotten lazy and worse with each passing year. He used to have a good breakdown of not only plays but games. Now its captain obvious stuff that requires zero homework or brain capacity.
@stoptheflop that and sitting here thinking about how they didnt even review it ticks me off. It was a crucial play for both teams and late in the going. I'm not sure who the crew was but I hope they weren't B12 and we never see them again.
@stoptheflop I agree, go back and watch KSUs "forward pass" against Mississippi State last season. The one looked like a fumble more so than Stanley's and by a lot.
What makes it stupid is he turns 21 in a few days. I cant say that I haven't used a fake ID or drank underage before.
They have a second year coach, I watched part of the Eastern Michigan game. I thought early they looked solid but then started in with turnovers and it did them in. @FarmerJayhawk one would figure they would leave a day early, they've been predicting this storm for sometime. I'm hoping for big improvements all across the board and a 20 plus point win. But I'll take a win of any kind lol.
@nuleafjhawk hard to believe otherwise lol. I actually was surprised the announced attendance wasnt higher, it looked fuller than it has in years. I guessed 35k but after seeing on tv, I figured it was closer to 40k people.
@KUSTEVE We should have for sure. ESPN in their recap pissed me off, they claim ISU was the better team for most of the day. Even tho we were up 16-3 to start the 4th quarter and trailed all of 2 minutes. We were literally 3 plays from it being a 31-10 game. Meanwhile they didnt give WV or Iowa State shit for struggling worse than us.
In other good news Steven Sims JR has made the roster for the Washington Redskins.
@BShark I'm happy after decades of the chiefs trading or signing a back up/ guy that had been benched. They finally used a high draft pick for a QB. I'm not sure I could name all the guys in that category. Montana, Erbac, Bono, Gannon, Green, Cassel and Smith. "Doing the samething over and over while expecting a different result is insanity"
I really dont think there is any reason to panic right now. Last season after losing to Nichols, I thought we were probably only winning one game. Beaty and his staff improved the team and with pooka we were able to win 3 games. Several years we have seen a Bill Snyder mildcat team escape week one with a narrow victory but end up winning 6-8 games. Heck in 2011 they scored in the last few minutes to beat a FCS team in eastern Kentucky that would only win 3 games all year and KSUCK ended up winning 10 games. The point is, that good coaching staffs make their teams better each week and I'm interested to see how much Miles can improve this team by mid season.
I'm not sold on McCoy just yet myself. He's had some good seasons but hasn't averaged over 4 yards per carry in a couple years. Last year was a career worst for him at 3.2.
@stoptheflop remember there's beer this season so we can drink within the stadium when things head south lol.
Big 12 stays unbeaten with one game left this weekend as OU plays Houston tomorrow night. Boston College looked sloppy vs Virginia Tech tonight winning 35 to 28. Former KU QB Ryan Willis was terrible turning over the ball 4 times tonight (3 picks and a fumble) and someone else also lost a fumble for VT. Not often does a team lose on the road by a score with that many TOs.
@Gorilla72 Nichols did lose some guys on defense, but I too thought that would be a close game. A person never really knows, I didnt figure ISU would need 3 OTs and a fumble bouncing their way to beat UNI either.
@jayballer73 I like the idea of sticking with someone, so its not the revolving door like with Beaty. Stanley definitely had some bad passes and poor plays. But most of which is very correctable, like leading you back forward on a screen and hanging on to the snap. Getting timing down with receivers and what not. I'd give him at least 3 games if he looked better all during camp and earned his spot.
@Texas-Hawk-10 definitely tough to gauge. Usually most teams make a big jump from week one to two. Hopefully we are one of those teams, with the added plus of Pooka Magic.
Attendance was 32,611 score was 24 to 17. Basically a draw between me and @Woodrow.
Watching Coastal Carolina play eastern Michigan right now. I thought maybe ISU could be the better team but I'm not sure. These guys look to have good size and speed.
Iowa State escapes in the 3rd overtime after recovering their own fumble inside the 2 yard line. WV now tied late in the third. I hope all B12 teams win besides KSUCK.
Stat of the day: James Sosinski now has more points for the football team (6) than the basketball team (4) haha.
B12 struggling a ton today ISU in the second OT with UNI and WV down at the half 7-3
I will give Stanley and the offense credit last season they wouldve folded there. They went out and got it back.
My score was pretty dam close, a win is a win for Kansas football
Let's go D
How does every team we see have better QBs
I'm shocked it wasnt reviewed that's damn close.
I feel sick to my stomach
That more of a pass than bradys
Looked like a pass
We just need a stop here
The offensive play calling has been worse than Beaty today and it's been killer.
I think we may have just lost
I think we may have just lost
@Texas-Hawk-10 I figured it would he close I predicted a 27-17 win. Just ticked because we should've blown it open.
That was pathetic on a 4th and 8. Let's get some points offense
I'm kinda frustrated ISU is still in the game at this point. They really shouldn't be, hopefully we can get a stop here or things get a little interesting.
That was a piss poor executed play wow.
We may need to switch kickers 😑, 4 points left the board off of Jones leg.
Great drive by Carter right there. Good looking all around
@Texas-Hawk-10 bend, dont break, wake up O!!
It was blown dead then he stuck the ball out to get. I would say a minimum of a half yard shy.
That was a helluva spot there
I honestly think this ISU team is better than coastal Carolina will be next week.
Hopefully Macvitte comes in and does something. It should be 24 to 3, missed opportunities is the offensive issues. Only 3 points on an average or even below average FCS defense
I think it was too close to call, I hate when they look for so long. That's not indisputable
Great coverage again, the playing is silly, we are getting chunks running it so why stop.
@Texas-Hawk-10 that what I was getting at buddy.
