The front office has just made wrong moves the last few years. Defensive line full of others teams rejects and we paid the wrong dudes. If Mahomes played in a Dome with CeeDee and Pickens, he may average 500 yards a game.

I thought the offense played pretty decent but my god the defense was terrible and the officiating matched it. Watching a game like that is why I never get to worked up, that was a predetermined out come. It’s one thing to miss a call but multiple ghost holding calls, ghost OPI and the last two DPIs were flat out wrong. That being said they would’ve had a chance if the third down defense did anything. Y’all have heard me say for the last several years pro sports are rigged and with all the crap coming out about the NBA folks involved. I wouldn’t be shocked a bit if the NFL is any different.

Yes the format is one of the silliest I’ve ever seen

One thing to consider with how Elmarko has struggled before last night, is he was able to practice much of last season with the injury so he basically took a year off. Mari was able to practice

If he starts finishing consistently, it will look a lot similar

Oddly enough the only team to give Michigan a game this far was TCU in Fort Worth

Michigan is shades of that UConn team they beat everyone by 20 in March. Hope we ain’t on the same side as them in March.

The lady announcer a few years ago that kept saying baller in stead of BAY-LOR

Any update on Dawson? With how Elmarko and Mari played this week, he could be behind the 8 ball and Kohl may see less minutes as well.

So do the players get to spilt the 300k or how does that work.

I’m so happy to watch Kansas basketball friends, we have athletes, push the ball and play above the rim

@approxinfinity yes always thought that was silly, just play defense

Come on Melvin needed that

We are trouble now

Jesus council, we have missed about 15 bunnies

Fans of other teams and journalists getting mad when everyone knew the rules beforehand is very stupid. Teams were leaving in their starters late BECAUSE margin mattered...

ISU fans are losing their minds on X right now. I personally don’t like the format even a little bit it’s ridiculously confusing. But as you said everyone agreed to it coming in. I be fine with never playing in this again but with the money up for grabs, I’d bet we are there a lot in the coming years.

@kjayhawks Selective memory! We actually played them in Hawaii I think in the Maui two seasons ago. It says Honolulu, but I think that was after the fires. We beat them by nine. The two previous meetings were ugly, but we're 5-3 in the series this century. That's a lot of meetings for a team that's not in our conference but we can expect another tough one today and wouldn't be surprised to see us lose nor would I be surprised to see us win.

Looks like they have beaten us 2 of the last 3 and I think I’m remembering them destroying us in Knoxville a few years ago.

@rcjhdraft seems like they have kicked our butts a lot of memory serves me right

Well KSU finally shut the hell up after playing two teams that people have heard of.

Okay looking at an update looks like it’s most likely Gonzaga vs Michigan for the title and us versus Tennessee for third unless something crazy happens.

Right now I believe it would be Michigan #1 and us 2 from what I’m seeing not sure tho

I think there is an outside chance we could play ISU, Baylor and Houston with loses won’t be in the top 2

@Crimsonorblue22 don’t think it can be Houston with them losing

@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:

The length and athleticism gives me the spoiled Kansas fan tinglies of yesteryear.

After watching the last two seasons, we had to play perfect because we didn’t have the athleticism to recover

I’ll take beating a power 4 team by double digits down a starter all day on a neutral floor. Thats the thing with this group, they are improving and haven’t came close to their ceiling. Last two years we were who we were in November so we beat teams like UConn and Duke with experience over 18 and 19 year olds. But we never got any better, Hunt couldn’t guard anyone, Juan refused to shoot and we had no threat from 3 point land. This years team would spank and the last two teams by 20 plus prob right now but without question by seasons end. Nice to actually enjoy watching KU basketball.

I really thought Flory would be here 3 years, after watching these two games in Sin City I’m not sure he isn’t playing in the nba next June. I’m really hoping to see Tiller and Kohl stick around for a few years. Kohl reminds me a lot of CB when he was in younger. White and Council will struggle getting on an NBA roster but White has played so well I bet he gets invited to the summer league.

I hate how it’s not a true tournament and we could miss out from the title game by only winning both games by double digits lol

I don't care about the championship here, I want KU to play a good team because Notre Dame and Syracuse are unlikely to make the NCAA Tournament. I'd much rather see KU play Michigan, Gonzaga, or Auburn to close it out and get another game against a really good team to help Flory and Tiller play without fouling.

For sure this tournament means very little in the big picture but as Self would say “We gotta play so we may as well win”

Jamari>Elmarko by a wide margin at this point.

I hate how it’s not a true tournament and we could miss out from the title game by only winning both games by double digits lol

They literally tried to foul us 4 times on that trip and they still wouldn’t call it, wonder what the alternative spread was?

Ridiculous this is even a game, piss poor officiating. They just throwing up crap from distance but yet have way more freethrows than us going to the rim and they’re fouling on purpose the last 3 trips.

Wtf that’s why the rule is in place what a fucking joke

Man if Council starts finishing, she will be great

Us forcing a single turnover is wild

Gotta run some offense at some point

I’ve got a lot of stuff mostly under the $200 because I’m poor lol. I have some nice lights one is a circle with a Jayhawk in the middle and one is a metal one with Jayhawks written out. I only turn on these lights to watch certain games. We are undefeated when they are on. I don’t like wasting them so they only get turned on a few times a year while I watch the game. I only had them on for the Duke game and KSU home game last season. I have to be in a certain mood to fill them on. A big game I feel we have a shot at winning. They was on for the 2022 final four games. The UConn game in Allen a few years ago.

@Kcmatt7 that’s the problem there’s no basketball fans in Vegas. Supposedly the b12 has an agreement to play a number of games each season in MSG and I’m like why? No fan base is even close to the NYC and in this economy who can afford to go watch a game there? At one point they were talking about the conference tournament there. KC is the perfect spot and always has been. OKC and Dallas the place was empty 90% of the time.

@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:

This tournament is getting ripped on social media. It's essentially killed Maui and the Bahamas thing. And while Vegas does have some good matchups the gyms are woefully uncrowded. In addition the tournament format is confusing, apparently point differential is a thing? A point differential in Vegas? Hmmm. Sounds like a kid or coach could be on the receiving end of some money....or death threats for helping or messing up someones bet.

Right an NIL tournament for money in Vegas with the point spread being the main focus. Doesn’t sound fishy at all. I miss the old days so much

@nuleafjhawk said in Darryn Peterson:

I don't know what the hell any of you are talking about. I'm a robot.

You one of the first developed, I remember talking to you on KUsports like 3 lifetimes ago lol

@approxinfinity I’m getting a good laugh out this AI stuff

@DCHawker never an easy game in the NFL, they are all must wins at this point

Definitely a type of win that can turn the tide on this season. They actually tried to run the ball and that helped a lot. Gotta work on turning possessions into TDs instead of FGs and catching the ball would be nice. Pat would’ve had over 400 and two touchdowns if we could just catch. The game doesn’t even need OT. The result is what we needed but still can’t afford a loss at this point. Good news is the schedule is much lighter the last 6 games outside of Denver at home.

I think they need to completely scrap the red zone offensive pay book

@rockchalkjayhawk we are light years passed the quick fix IMO. This is year 5 five and very experienced roster as was last seasons. In 2022 we were able to build off a win late in the year in Austin the year before. We returned just about everyone and made a bowl game. 2023 we same thing built off a good season and won 9 games with a bowl. 2024 we had the most experienced roster in CFB and returned a number of guys that made NFL rosters. Couldn’t win close games 5-7 and this year will end the same way. Our two deep is loaded with seniors and experienced players. If can’t make a bowl this year I see no chance at it next season. I’d bet a good amount cash we are right back to the 3 win era.

@stoptheflop that’s the hardest part Lance did a good job pulling this program from the depths of hell to having expectations. My expectations along with most fans is make a bowl. I don’t feel like that’s too lofty of an expectation. The other side of the coin with the Nice contract he got and the demands for the stadium upgrades that are in progress currently. One can say he isn’t holding up his end of the deal. Us losing so many close games the last few years but competing for the most part tells me we have the talent to go to bowl games. It’s as simple as if we lose Friday. He has to make a Bowl in 2026 to keep his job end of story. He made two of the worst coordinator hires in CFB history back to back.

I really wonder what f goes on during our bye weeks. Lance had solid record after them coming into the season and we just laid eggs after them this season besides WV. I went back and watched some the first quarter to confirm it as how I remembered and we just don’t look like a team that wants to be there. Coming in sitting at 5-5 with a chance to make a bowl game which hasn’t happened at ton around here and we look like we could two shits about it. Watching other games and being a former athlete myself looks like everyone else is jazzed to playing the game they love. We look like someone has a gun to the back of our heads forcing us to be there. The dang team looks it.

Utes!!!!!! Hopefully used all their magic in that one, wow ksu is a bunch of idiots

@stoptheflop hopefully we see this and run the ball Friday and keep the defense off the field

KSU has over 330 yards running against Utah in the first half
