Checking in on KU volleyball • Oct 28, 2016 12:23 AM

I'm disappointed that Fox sports or ESPN U didn't pick up this game, I guess its Saturday and football time but still ESPN 3 is blacked out here. Just hope we can get Texas we have finished second to them 4 years in a row now. I want a B12 title in something other than basketball.

WASHBURN ICHABODS • Oct 27, 2016 08:35 PM

That song makes me think of Happy Gilmore.

@wissoxfan83 Yes most of the KSU fans are pissed that they missed out and with how Weber is doing he could be gone within a year or 2. But some others didnt think he would come back with how Martin was pretty forced to leave or get fired for his tactics.

We have seen some coaching changes yet again this year in the B12, last year Smart and Prohm were added this year we have Jamie Dixon, Brad Uunderwood and Chris Beard. Jamie Dixon takes over a TCU program that has yet to take off in the conference, I was actually surprised Johnson never got it going there. He has a brand new fancy gym to help get some talent in Fort Worth. He was formly the coach at Pitt and did ok IMO had a few confence titles when they were in the big east i think he will help bring to TCU to being competitive in the league but I bet it takes a few years. Brad Underwood takes over OSU and I think is the hot hire. Brad is a KSU grad and former assistant to Martin. Brad just got done beating WVU in the NCAA tourny with SFA last year. I work in Brads home town and live about 7 miles from where he grew up and even tho he's a KSU guy he's a dam good coach and will have Stillwater as a tough place to play real fast. I think he has some talent with the Evans kid and could be a sleeper to make the dance this season. Beard will take over in Lubbock this season which seems to be a place that not many coaches outside of Knight want to stay, Smith got this team back to the dance last season and bolted for Memphis. They lost a ton of players and always seem to struggle to get talent. I dont know a whole lot about Beard beside the fact he was hired at UNLV only to resign a few weeks later to go to TT. He was an assistant under Knight ther and lead Little Rock AR to the first 30 win season in program history and an upset over Purdue in LYs NCAA tourny. I think He's the biggest ? of the 3 new coaches. Hope we get some stability with our coaches I think it makes for a better conference but we now have 6 coaches with 5 years or less in their current programs.

*Our ladies stayed hot on and off the court tonight as they swept the Red Raiders of TT in Lubbock. Improving to 19-2 and 8-1 in the big 12. Kansas now winners of 7 straight games and 5 straight sweeps, still ranked #6 in the land. They get the all so important rematch vs conference leading Texas Saturday at Horejsi.

So I guess • Oct 25, 2016 09:26 PM

@jayballer54 Self likes system PGs that will hang around. Like TT, Frank and Rusrob. Dont matter where they decommit from self can make them solid players.

4 Guard Lineup • Oct 25, 2016 09:23 PM

@Kcmatt7 I honestly could see where LL could play less than a year ago with the likes of Bragg and Udoka stealing his miniutes in a 4 guard line up.

@jaybate-1.0 I think texas will win a battle or two against us before to long but still believe they are a few years from being the team to beat. I think they will be good this year but so will we maybe next year is their best shot to end our run.

I dont really care what their record is as long as we kick their tails im good.

Dang guys • Oct 25, 2016 09:17 PM

@jayballer54 Ya i would think it was more him being scared to come in and be a 3 or 4 guy to see the court a ton.

NEW BASKETBALL RULES • Oct 25, 2016 08:06 PM

@wrwlumpy I hate bad calls but i also hate how much time is spent reviewing plays in all sports. Human error is a part of being a ref. If they do this why not make every stinking play reviewable, next they'll have stop watches for 3, 5 and 10 second calls to review if it was correct. Let the boys play a little enough with stopping the game and cheap touch fouls.

@wissoxfan83 Not a bad idea @jaybate-1.0 does a good job with his all fiction posts. A jk is just fine with me, we dont need to support Friends University that much lol

Perry and Wayne • Oct 25, 2016 02:37 PM

@justanotherfan I guess he could end up being like Hinrich

@wissoxfan83 This is a weak ass SOS for you lol

@BeddieKU23 It will be interesting to see how they do and if Weber can keep his job if they fail to make the dance for the thrid year in a row. A lot of the KSU guys ik wanted him gone last year.

Perry and Wayne • Oct 25, 2016 12:53 PM

@justanotherfan good points probably more surprised van fleet made it he cant shoot to save his life and isnt very big maybe frank has hope then.

Mahomes, Ohio State • Oct 23, 2016 10:44 PM

Ya my question is seeing how good Houston really isn't, how the hell did they shut down OU? My guess is it was a first game fluke. But the record that we let Perine set a few years ago could get broken by Mixon. The OU vs TT game was entertaining as hell tho, I rather watch that then a 10-6 game like Colorado and Stanford. The SEC is actually fun to watch the last few years now that they have offenses a few years ago it was boring as hell I remember a LSU Bama game that was hyped to hell and didn't even get a touch down in it final was 12-6.

I'm going with proposition #3,(one win) based off the improvement I've seen and playing Texas, ISU at home where we have played well for 3 quarters all year just have to add the 4th.

Perry and Wayne • Oct 23, 2016 07:55 PM

Kinda surprising seeing Waynes numbers from the other night, I bet they will have a choice of going over seas or D league. I was surprised that Van Fleet and Baker from WSU made a roster, Fleet with Toronto and Baker with New York.

Mahomes, Ohio State • Oct 23, 2016 04:26 AM

2 Ohio state went down in in state college today and is no longer unbeaten, as well as number 11 Houston getting hammered at SMU which doesn't make OU look good or the fact that Mahomes murdered their defense tonight. OU ended up winning a shootout in Lubbock 66-59 but Mahomes had 734 yards yes 734 passing yards off of 52 completions from 88 attempts all B12 records. I'm not sure but i bet atleast one is a NCAA record. Dude only had 5 tds tho lol.

Reviewing the homecoming loss • Oct 23, 2016 03:32 AM

Kansas hosted OSU Saturday morning on homecoming and fell 44-20. The game was much closer for 3 quarters. Kansas jumped out to an early lead after a sack fumble force by Fish, lead to a Cozart to Quv. 68 yard TD pass. The teams traded points for the remainder of the first half with OSU holding to a 17 to 13 lead at the break. Kansas received the opening kick off of the second half and after two nice runs Kinner, he fumbled at our 26 yard line leading to a easy score for OSU, and after that the turnover monster continued to show its head, with cozart picks in total three Kansas turnovers lead to 17 cowboy points in the third quarter, Kansas did get a good drive of their own between some of those turnovers to add another touchdown. Kansas still had hope opening the fourth quarter on the OSU 5 yard line down 14 but turned the ball over on downs, then it was all done but the crying. I thought the offense moved the ball as good as they have this year with Cozart under center, his 2 picks were very costly one is kinda a 50/50 between him and Quv where he was open but the ball was well underthrown and he had to stop and try to catch it in traffic, it bounced off his helmet and lead to the INT with along return. Beaty didn't blame Cozart for ether of his picks although I'm not sure how throwing the ball right to the chest of a defensive lineman could be on anyone else. The offensive line played there best game of the season bar Rhode Island, we end up with over 200 yards on the ground and didn't let up a sack, Kinner outside of the fumble was stellar with 145 yards on 14 carries for better than 1o yards per carry. Cozart and co were sharpe early just didn't finish some drives but his accuracy seemed to get worst as the game wore on. Still one of if not his best game vs, FBS competition. Kansas had more yards and first downs until the last few minutes of the game where the defense looked tired and let OSU add a touchdown after a early FG in the fourth. I thought the defense played pretty solid for the most part again in dealing with 3 offensive turnovers that gave OSU the ball inside our 26 3 times and once at the 2. Ended up with 6 TFLs and five sacks. They continued to excel on third down baring a few tough 3 and long mistakes but held OSU to 38% conversion. They lead the B12 in this category. I think we made some progress today especially on offense, the sad thing of it is if we could just not turnover the ball so much we would've been there at the end. I still feel like we gave away the Ohio and TCU games and a chance to win this one. I think it is huge to compete at home for the sake of getting some people in there to watch and with the way Texas and ISU look I still have hope to get another W this season. Don't look now as we start a road trip next week to Norman and then to Morgantown to face 2 top 15 teams that will take a perfect game for us to compete in.

@Crimsonorblue22 Idk haven't heard anything about his dismissal

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 08:04 PM

@jayballer54 Exactly what I'm think friend.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:23 PM

Cant even make a simple throw all the sudden did we get drunk at half time

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:19 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 I hope so I'm worried our d wont be as good next year with Shaw, Fish , Arnick and Roberts gone

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:12 PM

Welp it was nice to be in it for 3 quarters

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:11 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Hey make no mistake we are playing well at home and I'm happy about that but when do we stop shooting ourselves in the foot.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:08 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Fuck yes it doesn't matter if its accidental contact he got pushed to the ground

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:06 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya one day will get the bounce and win just now 2 in a row at home that if we don't come back here I'm gonna feel like we gave it away will silly turnovers and simple missed plays

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:01 PM

Total yards dominated by Kansas 418 to 250

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 07:00 PM

Maybe if it was off Quv's helmet but he still had to stop and adjust to well under thrown ball. Must get a TD here to keep a heart beat. Great game by Kinner outside of the fumble has 11 carrys for 140 yards

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:51 PM

Fuck me if that ball is throw well its 6 for Quv.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:46 PM

Must have a score here boys

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:46 PM

all 14 points this half off of short fields and TOs. Gosh why cant we play offense for a whole game! we'd be winning now and beaten OHIO and TCU.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:44 PM

Damn this offense just gave the game away with two turnovers inside our 25 fuck

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:42 PM

I'd blitz the rest of the game, you may let up a home run but Rudolph has happy feet

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:30 PM

One of the best drives we have had in 2 years against B12 comp.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:28 PM

@DanR Dark blue like 90s

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:27 PM

Ben Johnson is alive!!!

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:22 PM

I really feel for our Defense I think they are average or a little above in this league just have little to no help most games.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:21 PM

That could be the game. With the rewinding feature on TV that was a Delay of game hands down.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:18 PM

Must hold for 3 here.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:17 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 I think its too risky but just me.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:15 PM

he has 9 carries for 83 yards

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:15 PM

Just when you started to like Kinner, that could be the nail in the coffin.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:10 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 I wouldn't send him out outside of 55 yards especially with a slight wind in his face. Lucky it didn't get picked up and returned for a TD. And yea why not throw it up there? what do we have to lose?

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 06:03 PM

Impressed with the offense thus far pretty good numbers Cozart 13/19 for 148 with a TD and most importantly no turnovers. The first drive here will be very important if we can get a TD and Defense can get some more TOs we could have a shot. If we go 3 and out we could be as close as will be from here on out.

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 05:44 PM

Pretty good half there why try that kick?

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 05:20 PM

Gonna be TCU all over again if we cant finish drives, Why wont we run it on there side of the field?

Game blog • Oct 22, 2016 05:12 PM

Good hold bye the d lets hope the O can fair a little better this time. 10-10 score
