West Virginia- a game finally • Jan 01, 2025 12:37 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 sounds like if a senior led team showed up in the first that wouldn’t have mattered. New nickname for this team: the Lazies, I’m rewatching the game now and we are just flat out getting out hustled to every damn rebound and lose ball. Absolutely unacceptable on all levels.

West Virginia- a game finally • Dec 31, 2024 11:59 PM

@Kcmatt7 I couldn’t watch with work but listened to bits and the final minute. We shot 22 free throws to their 6, that stat lines are pretty even outside of shooting from the floor. In which I’m hearing Hunt, KJ, Juan and Zeke missed about 5 bunnies a piece. Just not sure how much I buy into the refs costing us.

West Virginia- a game finally • Dec 31, 2024 11:26 PM

Obviously at this point it’s time to call a spade a spade. Bill Self sucks ass at roster construction, Moore, Griffen, Coit, Storr and KJ combined for 5 points and 5 rebounds. That’s maybe the most ridiculous line I’ve ever seen. All guys hand picked by Bill Self. As I’ve been saying for 2 years now KJ has no business playing 30 minutes a game and should be in a Lightfoot type role of 15-20 minutes. He played 28 today, if it was 15 we win no question.

The switching 5 defense is a J-O-K-E, yes I realize it worked in 2022. But you’re comparing apples to oranges. We had 4 guards and David McCormick was dam good at ball screen defense. None of our bigs are , the last play for them was too easy. Guard switched to a big, then draw the foul. Bill needs to take a long hard look in mirror at this point.

An absolute embarrassment to this basketball program. Piss poor coaching end of story, guys continually aren’t ready to play. No reason for a freshman like flory to be on the floor in that situation. Zero reason for KJ to get that ball in that situation, he wasn’t fouled just watch it again. Self has lost this team and we will be lucky to go .500 in this conference what a fucking joke this program has turn into the last few years.

I’m at work and can’t watch…maybe a good thing zero energy sounds like

2024 NFL Season • Dec 30, 2024 04:11 AM

If the bengals make the playoffs does Burrow get MVP?

2025 Schedule • Dec 30, 2024 04:08 AM

I think the B12 is set to be pretty stacked next season but hopefully the schedule draw works next season like it was supposed to this season. Entered the year with an SOS of 102 and finished with with 21 last I saw before bowl season. ASU, KSU, ISU, BYU, TCU, Tech, Baylor and KU will all return good QBs.

I honestly think Deion is fraudulent and him not having Shilo and Travis next year will expose it.

Other Football Games of Interest • Dec 27, 2024 06:58 PM

I just love how when KSU wins the same bowl KU did last season, it’s a huge win but a toilet bowl when KU wins it. I think ksu has played in this same bowl like 8 times.

Offseason Roster Thread • Dec 26, 2024 07:24 PM

@Kcmatt7 I don’t think Ballard is too bad watching him play as a freshman against KSU last season. If Rich Miller doesn’t drop a walk in pick 6, he’s in Jayhawk folklore

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 11:16 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 he has in the past for sure it’s just a little different this year with the amount of days between now and a game that matters.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 08:26 PM

The next question is do you play starters at all in Denver? You hate to lose this momentum you have built these last few weeks but don’t want to risk any injuries. Maybe play them for a quarter? 26 days to the divisional round that’s a long time to get rusty.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 08:15 PM

This why the No fun league, it’s Christmas let the boys play. Giving some thumbs down is now a flag what a bunch a horse shit. Keep these zebra’s Pittsburgh pansy’s

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 08:06 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2024 NFL Season:

Gonzales said he'd pay the fine

To me that’s asinine that’s it’s a penalty to pay homage to a guys record you just broke. Not sure what is different in doing the dunk compared to dancing

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 08:05 PM

Nice to see Travis and Patrick getting back to their groove here before the playoffs. Mahomes 27/35 304 yards and 3 TDs classic line for him. Kelce 7 catches for 75 yards and a TD. Offensive line has arguably played their best game of the season today. Still a little concerned with the run game.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 07:52 PM

6 here and all the pressure switches to them

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 06:21 PM

Really wish we could get the run game going

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 06:16 PM

This defense can be next level if they continue to create turnovers

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 06:16 PM

@rockchalkjayhawk I thought he was showing his tattoo not sure.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 25, 2024 06:10 PM

Offense is starting to roll

Christmas Gift to KJ • Dec 25, 2024 04:00 AM

@drgnslayr KJ is easily my favorite player on this team but he is a big piece as to why we struggle. A hard truth is he isn’t starting at just about every other team in our conference. When I signed up to coach my son’s team, I told him he will have to work hard to be the best player at his position to play or at least start, he won’t just play because he’s my son. A coaches job is to put the best players in the right spot to win games. He should be in an extended Mitch Lightfoot type of role. It’s fine if he starts but he shouldn’t be playing more than 20 minutes on the average night. The best this team has to offer is with 4 guards from what I’ve seen.

Brown before Christmas • Dec 24, 2024 08:14 PM

@nuleafjhawk I liked the first two but this one was a little strange imo. I liked the Mario Bros movie

Brown before Christmas • Dec 22, 2024 11:45 PM

I took the kids to see Sonic 3 so I only got to see the last 5 minutes. Went about like I expected

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 22, 2024 03:25 PM

The Mighty Mouse Mark McMillan was one of my favorites as a kid

Other games 2025-2026 • Dec 22, 2024 02:36 AM

Still laughing they gave a kid (Hawkins) over 2 Million to come there. Dude averaged 12 points a game last season. You know they’ll bring their a game against us and play the best game of the year.

Junior college football is super strong is this state. Butler was a power house for a decade then Garden City was really good then Independence now Hutch has been on a role. I watched Alvin Kamara running back for the saints play for them a handful of years ago.

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:54 PM

I’m hoping I win something with ESPN Wichita my score prediction was 27-20. Missed extra point from perfect

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:49 PM

I honestly think the offense is starting to turn a corner, if they can get consistent up front they have shown shades of it the last two weeks against pretty solid defenses.

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:48 PM

A solid win against a playoff team. Gotta do the same thing in 4 days and then we can rest for most of 3 weeks. That game in Pittsburgh is easily the biggest game of the year now.

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:39 PM

@AsadZ now can we run the football successfully, right now Mahomes leads in rushing with a whopping 35 yards on 3 carries

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:01 PM

Looking for some defense here, this line has gave up more sacks than any other in football. Zero sacks to this point, unacceptable

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 08:00 PM

@AsadZ that looked like a text book chiefs drive it starts with good play calls.

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 07:47 PM

I just don’t see the chiefs making the Super Bowl again with this offensive line. They just get zero push

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 07:13 PM

Pretty decent half like that we finally are getting pressure on Stroud. Nice to see Hollywood on the field, would love to see us get the run game going a little bit here in the second half

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 07:05 PM

Worthy has to work on toe taps, that was a perfectly thrown ball

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 06:29 PM

Wow a missed obvious hold on George and clear push off. These refs that supposedly favor KC are at it again

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 06:27 PM

@AsadZ unimpressed with the lack of pressure against one of the worst lines in football. The other one is on the Kansas City sideline giving up pressure

2024 NFL Season • Dec 21, 2024 05:59 PM

If the chiefs play their butts off today and Christmas, they can take off almost 3 weeks

Former Texans vs Current Texans • Dec 21, 2024 05:58 PM

2 rushes for 27 yards and a touchdown, he must feel pretty good lol

2024 NFL Season • Dec 17, 2024 11:56 PM

@NotHim said in 2024 NFL Season:

@kjayhawks That move frees up 66k in cap space. The rest of his 1 year contract was guaranteed. It wasn’t about money, they need the roster spot.

Either way as I said a business move

Other Football Games of Interest • Dec 17, 2024 01:30 AM

Sounds like there has been a lot of tampering with players that are currently in the CFP. They really need to change the dates on the portal til after the CFP and Bowl games or make it illegal to talk to players on a team that qualified for the postseason til it’s done.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 16, 2024 10:21 PM

@rockchalkjayhawk I hate it for him but it is a business in the end and the chiefs can’t keep paying him

2024 NFL Season • Dec 16, 2024 12:01 AM

The play calling was atrocious, they tried so very hard to get the deep ball going. Which was silly because it resulted in Mahomes getting lit up every other play. Nagy has to go at this point. They need to get back to quick outs and slants with this line.

2024 NFL Season • Dec 15, 2024 09:11 PM

Another elite game by the defense and the offensive line finally got Mahomes hurt. At some point it has to be man up and do your job. Block the guy across from you

2024 NFL Season • Dec 15, 2024 05:51 PM

Big week here for chiefs, Steelers are playing the Eagles and the Bills the Lions. If the chiefs can handle the browns on the road and get wins from the Eagles and Lions they will be felling great about the #1. I think with all the injuries and starting to play 3 games in a 10 day stretch today. Getting that extra week off would be huge. The NFL that supposedly loves the chiefs, did them zero favors this schedule and an early bye week.

I think it’s hard to gauge us at home with how bad we have played on the road the last few years 3-10 in our last 13 tries. But I think we played too selfish the last two games. The ball movement was night and day better today

I think Zeke is starting to figure out his role is to score. We have to get Griffen and Storr to figure out their role with this club.

@StLJhawk said in North Carolina Champion to be crowned today.:

Not quite ready to give up hunt yet

Hunts had a great game other than the one mental lapse. You have to get him the ball to get this result

Juan looks much better not shooting it every time he touches it. 11/36 in the last two losses and today he’s scored just as many points with the 13 but isn’t throwing up guarded runners to get there 5/10 from the floor

Really nice floor games by Hunt, KJ and Juan
