@approxinfinity and he will have a bigger role in the future wars. Brush up on your Chinese and Russian.

Isaiah 5:20

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;

who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;

who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

@mayjay Get your house re-roofed now.

@BShark Prayers for your brother. That kind of puts things in perspective.

@kjayhawks I'm hopeful that your last sentence isn't aimed at me. I am also an Independent. I could give a shit less about Republican or Democrat. I just sincerely believe that President Elect Ass-Face is evil. At the very least an awful, awful person. Nothing to do with politics.

@wissox In my mind, Harris didn't play into the equation at all. It's about why does America want to elect a degenerate, perverted convicted criminal? What makes that right? How does that reflect on us?

Until this morning, I naively believed that there was more good than evil in this country. I was wrong.

Somehow being 2-6 doesn't seem like a big damn deal. This country is screwed. Good job, America.

@kjayhawks they're going to trade for Jason Bean and he will lead us to the promised land

@kjayhawks it's amazing that a guy that big can even move

@kjayhawks Mahomes isn't as mobile as he used to be. He's been watching the game on his ass as much as I have tonight

@RockChalkinTexas I'm not a good multi-tasker

@wissox no remote??

@wissox on YouTube TV,
if you want to "toggle" back and forth between two stations, press and hold "OK" or "SELECT" on your remote.

That's it. We're done. Season over

@jayballer67 With all the #1 hype - if we are behind even one single point at any time during the season........Self should be fired, tarred and feathered, run out of town - but not to Manhattan, I mean we're not THAT cruel.

@rockchalkjayhawk I'll watch the Chiefs on the TV and KU on my phone

@kjayhawks I'd be ok with him retiring with a 3-peat. Yes, he definitely has my permission

@kjayhawks I don't care what they do as long as they leave Andy Reid alone.

@AsadZ I'm not a Cowboys fan, but maybe they should fire Jerry.

@drgnslayr "net gain".

Nice

@Texas-Hawk-10 You and I both want each other to see our own point of view. It's probably not going to happen.

I'm willing to call a truce if you are.

@wissox I disagree with your disagreement!

@wissox I'll repeat in case you didn't see it earlier.

Emotions. Hyperbole.

I do a lot of each.

Also, I don't feel we should give the team a blue ribbon and smiley face stickers for trying their bestest. I don't think we should sing their praises with a 2-6 record I'm not being a doomsday prophet, but you know as well as I do that they have a very good chance of going 2-10.

I know you're a smart guy. I just don't see how you can call this team competitive. Being ahead in every game and just blatantly giving the game to the other team isn't really being competitive.

@Texas-Hawk-10 That's a fair question. I think that because we were a completely terrible team back then, but everyone knew that and expected us to lose. WE expected us to lose. So, we lived up to expectations.

This current team is loaded with experienced, good athletes. Most were on the 9-4 Bowl winning team last year. However, they consistently, without fail, find ways to lose. Don't quote me, but I believe we've blown 4th quarter leads in all 6 losses this year. This is what makes me more upset with this team than past teams. They are not living up to expectations.

Obviously, you don't have to agree with me.

@wissox I was referring to the coaching staff. I think they should try something different. Apparently, I'm not the only one.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I'm happy that I've made such an impact on you that you remember my exact words!

Why is it that you think I can't have an opinion? Sure, I am emotional sometimes and am prone to the hyperbole bug, but I say my stuff and move on.

@wissox to me it says we don't care enough about our program to try and win.

@jayballer67 Loyalty is a great thing. But not when it's costing us wins.

Play Marshall

I didn't even know they played last night. Thought you guys were playing some fantasy game in your heads.

@jayballer67 If you want to have some (sick) fun - go to kuathletics.com and look at the seasons stats vs opponents. We are better in damn near EVERY category! It's almost impossible that our record is 2-6. I'm not a math whiz, but if i objectionably glanced at the stats - I say Kansas is undefeated this season. Frickin crazy.

I've taken some well deserved flack over my "I'd rather be blown out than lose by giving games away due to ineptness" attitude. Well deserved because my opinion is not nearly as valuable as others.

Part of it is extreme frustration with this team. Not one of our losses can be attributed to the opponents. Every single one of them was dumbass blunders on our part. Either with stupid plays (Ie; catch the kicked ball on the one yard line and step out of bounds. Miss an extra point. Miss a field goal) - typical plays in every one of our losses this year. Then we have coaching blunders. Pass when we should run and vice versa. Atrocious play calling.

I am not ok with close losses. We are not "competitive", we are floundering. We're going in reverse.

Lance's record so far:

2021 - 2-10 (first year - to be expected)

2022 - 6-7 (Hey! We're making progress)

2023 - 9-4 (Holy Smoke - we're a pretty good team!)

2024 - 2-6 (So far. We have an outside chance of one more W against Baylor. So we wind up 3-9 (or 2-10) with basically the same team that got us 9 wins last year.

Yes, I'm sour on this team.

@FarmerJayhawk Those are very good friends to have.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I'm not one of the bandwagon fans. I've been watching for 60+ years. I've seen some good teams and a LOT of really bad ones.

If you like watching them lose close games and that makes them more palatable to you - great. I don't. The continual close game blunders make them look laughable to me. If you tell me honestly that you thought we were going to win Saturday, I'd be surprised. I said I'd rather get blown out because there's not much emotional "trauma"

@FarmerJayhawk why did I assume your friend was a guy? Evidently I'm a sexist pig. Sorry.

@FarmerJayhawk I hope he has better hours than "only open until 6 and closed on the weekends Walgreens"

@Texas-Hawk-10 whatever you think

@Texas-Hawk-10 See, you and I are looking at the exact same things and seeing them completely differently.

I'd be much more tolerant if we were getting beat by 30 every game. I'd think we don't have the athletes or coaches (that one is still under consideration). Or if we had major injuries. But we're loaded with talent. We have absolutely gift wrapped every loss for the opponents. Making bonehead plays.we run when we should pass. We pass when we should run.
I've never seen what looks like a good team come up with so many stupid ways to lose.

@rockchalkjayhawk maybe it's the price we pay for being so good at basketball for so long. Maybe the day KU opened someone said "you can be good at football or basketball. Pick one" obviously we chose basketball.

@kjayhawks did he attend KU?

@dylans Silver lining - at least we don't have to worry about other teams stealing LL from us anymore!

@kjayhawks I have loved KU for so long....my house looks like a Jayhawk shrine. But I've reached that level of disappointment. Sorry to be a Debbie downer, everyone. But I don't think it's unrealistic.

@approxinfinity everyone has their own opinion. I feel like a nationwide poll of sports fans and pollsters might have us in the bottom 10.

@approxinfinity No, I think you absolutely nailed it. Until the continuity of direction quip. More like One Direction - reverse. Last night was the game that firmly cemented our place in history as one of the worst college football teams of all time.

I've said it before, but we CONSTANTLY snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Every single game this year we should have won. We're a joke.

@kjayhawks when I was about 25, I lost $450 in a poker game. That was a huge amount of money for me then. (I'm 66 now)
I had a full house and lost to 4 of a kind. Which shows you can have a really good thing going and still lose. That was the last time I played poker or even really bet someone more than $5.

Last night was my present day $450 poker game. I've invested way too much time and energy into this band of losers. I told myself I wasn't going to watch, but I sneaked a peek and saw us score first. Then I had hope. False hope.

It won't happen again. I'm folding and throwing my cards on the table.

I may root for Oregon. They're fun as hell to watch. 🏈

@rcjhdraft He was too busy watching the piss run down his leg

I'm pretty sure Trump is a K-State fan.

Longest field goal of his stupid lame ass dickbreath life. Against us.

@wissox I have a pretty good idea that they will

Winners win. Losers lose. Simple as that.

Thank goodness. I thought we might actually not fucc up and blow it at the end of a game. Glad we kept the streak alive
