🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Grapes losing their minds on message boards and I’m enjoying reading. They want only to beat us and don’t care about any other games at this point. Want Klieman fired and Colin Klein to come in as head coach.

@stoptheflop ya Andy always had a play or two that made a person scratch their head. I honestly think their QB is average at best, JD is unbeaten and we are 2-4 if we switch them two imo.

@FarmerJayhawk I feel pretty good right now about my 7-5 prediction but can’t over look anyone including Okie Lite

A lot of these B12 games will look this way with how evenly match everyone is outside of Tech. Just like last week when it was 20-20 I told my son whomever gets a TO is gonna win this game. We got it this week and that was the difference.

@FarmerJayhawk I think we were the much better team once we settled in out scored them 27-6 in pretty much the final 3 QTRs. I also thought we had a good chance to be 5-1 at this point. But like I said earlier, I think our schedule is better than we thought it would be. I think Mizzou who will find out a lot about next week is much better than anticipated as well as UCF and Cincinnati. Every FBS team outside of WV KU has played has a fair chance at a bowl game IMO.

Well friends 4-2 start feels a lot better than 1-5. We won a 1 possession game!! That is a huge confidence boosting win IMO.

Darn JD had a lane we just missed a block

How about that whatever we said at half time to this D

Dang it huge penalty there, honestly if Bam doesn’t get kicked out last week early, we may win he changed this defense

Really needed a few first downs there

If this team had last year’s defense we are undefeated no question in my mind.

@rockchalkjayhawk 30’isnt enough to win we have 2 loses scoring 31 plus points

Offense has to score 6 every time they touch it from here on out and we have to hope we can hold them to 3 another time or two

How does our defense get worse every week

Still worried KSU will torch us in defense but I also think KUs schedule is much tougher than originally thought kinda like last year. Mizzou is 5-0, Fresno will likely be 5-1 after tonight and Cincinnati is 4-1.

@FarmerJayhawk KU has had that crew a few times and they are the worst in college football.

@Jhawk69 yes I don’t how ksu always, always get a call when needed to give them a chance.

Hell ya Baylor fu** KSU

KSU unfortunately looks like a different team right now and a good one

Isu woke up now 31-15 at the half but it’s clear Cincinnati is a team better than most thought. Still stinks we gave it away but they maybe this years ASU.

Cincinnati is spanking ISU 17-0 at the end of the first QTR. 😳

Hate to see it, I honestly was hoping he would’ve stay but man that’s tough.

Harrison has definitely been a low spot thus far but I think he’ll have it turned around. I think his mechanics are a little off. If the chiefs need a big kick for the win, I trust him.

@SlimShaddy54 was all too familiar with the Jayhawk defense Saturday

The royals end finishing the year 82-80, think they have some key pieces to build off of but man we have to find some offense outside of Bobby this offseason.

@Jhawk69 I still think if we can get thru the first 6 weeks without Rice and only having Worthy for 3 games at a 3-3 or 4-2. We will be in good shape going forward for the divisional match up.

@Jhawk69 I watched once, it was okay but prob won’t ever watch it again which is my opinion on most movies made the last 15 years

Nice to the offense explode for the first time in a few years. Having Worthy back has helped a ton and he’s starting to get rhythm with Thornton. Mahomes becomes the fastest player to pass for 250 touchdowns. Remember he’s doing this with 2 of his top WRs as guys that other NFL teams cut and said they weren’t good enough to play at this level.

I just want to be competitive and make a bowl game. As disappointing as yesterday was we still have a chance to do those things going forward. We will likely be doing it in a half empty at best new stadium because yesterday took a lot of air out of the fan base.

I agree one of the most alarming stats of the Leipold era is this 3-14 in one possession games as Kansas head coach. He currently sits at 25-30 overall. If he’s close to 50% in those games he has a winning record and we were bowling 3 straight years prob make the B12 title game.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Lance Leipold:

I loved the play calling, fumble killed us! Opposing coaches always praise what lance has done for our program. I do to0. The crowd is great, the Booth is awesome! It’s progress. I won’t quit on them.

We averaged 10.9 yards for play offense isn’t the issue, the university announced a sellout but it looked half full at best on TV.

@wissox the offense is fine IMO we are averaging over 35 PPG. JD was lights out today outside of a few plays, the fumble was super frustrating because as I said we had 3 plays to get 1 yard if he just goes down. Shades of Manhattan last season when we have a 3rd and 4 if he just goes down. I’ll give him props tho he hasn’t tried to win the game in one play a lot this year but the @ Mizzou was also a huge play that he should’ve thrown the ball at the RBs feet to live to play another down. I can live with with his 4 turnovers in 5 games (had 13 TOs in first 5 last season). I told my son while we were watching the second half, whichever team gets a turnover is going to win. They did and it was a big factor but I can’t blame today on a unit that had 597 yards and scored 34 points. The defense had to have 25 missed tackles that lead to first downs and touchdowns. They dropped a few picks that would’ve turned the tide. I’m fine with a bend defense that stiffens up in the red zone and gets turnovers. This ain’t that and DK should be getting heat right now.

@Jhawk69 guy made a hellacious catch on that 4th down. We had a pick with a bow on it and dropped it. Defensively the scheme is fine we just drop picks and miss tackles. Some of that goes on the coach for sure. This is the type of loss derails a season.

I agree that this could be chalked up as the worst loss in the Leipold era. Cincinnati is likely a 6th-8th place team in this conference. Prob just eliminated ourselves from the title. Lance has to get better at clock management not running the ball before trying the touchdown pass would’ve helped but DK McDonalds seat should be on fire right now. That’s right up there with Turner Gills defense.

@nuleafjhawk it was a good game for offenses and entertaining. Better than getting beat by 40 but only slightly.

It’s so hard to be mad at one play in that one but my god a fumble inside the one when you have 3 plays to get a yard and a drop pick were killer. I’m honestly worried if we will make a bowl at this point. Next week is a must win to do that.

I’m hearing that Okie State is got a list of coaches they are interested in. Hearing that last has Colin Klein and Andy K on it.

@wissox it was a joke in reference to his I’m a man, I’m 40 rant which I believe happened 17 years ago this week.

@benshawks08 yes cars and cars 3 are definitely in my top 5 of Disney and Pixar. Planes is okay not great but decent. Brave is better than frozen IMO. Big hero 6 not Pixar but very underrated. Cars two is just Mators crap show lol.

@wissox they played for the big 12 championship in 2023. But they came at him, He’s a man, he’s 40 and unemployed!

@benshawks08 cars two is so terrible

@Texas-Hawk-10 figured it was coming just wasn’t sure if was gonna be before the season ended. Believe they owe him 17 million to leave.

@nuleafjhawk I genuinely wonder what the heck he was thinking on those backwards passes. It was strange

I feel a little bit better about our 31 yards rushing against Fizzou after South Carolina totaled -9 yards on the ground.

@FarmerJayhawk they give him a few bad years before anything happens, two nattys helps in that column

I’m still thinking the Chiefs drop one to the ravens next week but if they can go 3-3 to start this season with the injures they’ve had. I think they be alright when the time comes. Defense looked pretty salty for the most part tonight. The timing is just not right with receivers right now, you’d think that would improve going forward.

@nuleafjhawk said in 2025 Chiefs:

@kjayhawks also, 13 isn't 17. You owe me whatever we bet

Thinking my prediction was much much closer than yours unfortunately Butker wasn’t on tonight or I’m perfect. Watch Wilson close that’s a washed up QB buddy

@nuleafjhawk said in 2025 Chiefs:

@kjayhawks I'll take that bet. Mahomes has completely forgotten how to play

You’re pretty quiet 🤫

Thornton sucks if he was paying attention he had a walk in TD.
