@dylans I actually got paid NOT to play ball. ;)

@FarmerJayhawk LOL - everybody that's ever played has been paid. I have a friend that was a DE for KU back in the mid 80's. When Ku was as bad at football as they've ever been. (except now, maybe). He said nobody on the team ever paid a dime the whole time they were there. Never paid for clothes, never paid at a restaurant, never paid for anything basically.
@benshawks08 Hunter, Dave, Wilt - it doesn't matter. Nobody will be here long enough to make a difference. Thank you very much NIL / Portal.
@Jhawk69 and football better than the coach of the week.
@Jhawk69 we put the fear of God in Lindenwood....
@dylans Well, hold on just a second....They could pay me half of what LL makes and I'd be happy. And I'm pretty sure I could carry on the proud tradition of KU Football.
Am I just not paying attention? (It's entirely possible)
I haven't heard (or paid attention to) anyone calling for Lance's head. Grimes, for sure. And several (including me) to have JD ride some pine. I guess I need to pay better attention.
You guys are good with words. Me, not so much. I would sum it up by saying :
Discuss. Don't make personal attacks against other posters. Cuss the coaches, the refs, the program, whatever. But not each other. We're all passionate. We all have our own opinions.
@kjayhawks Thank goodness it won't be us!
@approxinfinity whatever he's going to do, he'd better get started soon
@approxinfinity. Perhaps a new title for this thread? Something like - Hang on Folks - Basketball Season is almost here! Or KU Football - Same as it Ever Was.

Cumberland College - Your reign of shame is coming to an end soon.
@approxinfinity I just can't believe we went from being a very good team last year to such a bunch of turd suckers this year.
K State will beat us so bad that they'll destroy the new stadium and we'll just stick to basketball.
Fellas - this is why I am the way I am.
@AsadZ by tough you mean F-ing stupid and wrong? I agree.
@FarmerJayhawk a catch is identified by how much money the refs have on a particular team.
I love getting screwed by the refs
I'm sure not saying anything negative. Our boys are looking good in their red uniforms. It's a lovely day. Golly gee willikers - it's a swell day for football!
I will readjust my prediction for the K-State game later this evening.
@patoh3 our defense believes that tackle is what you use when you're fishing 🎣
@patoh3 yeah, that makes sense I guess
KANSAS is #1 in FBS Red Zone Scoring? 😳
How is this even possible?
@jayballer67 The Rebels are all Runnin'
@wissox 😆
I've changed my philosophy:

@wissox that comment is borderline nuleaf-ish. :)
@wissox The "no one gives a crap" comment was in response to someone asking why the stadium was being built "halfway". You care about KU Football, (believe it or not) I care about KU Football - there are several who do. But there are a WHOLE LOT more that don't. It's not relevant. It's not a priority to the masses.
I'm super frustrated because this was supposed to be a historic year for us. It's going to be historic, but maybe in a Titanic historic kind of way.
I'm not a public cheerleader. It seems phony to me. I have used the chat portion of this forum to privately try and encourage people who were down or to thank people who have contributed greatly to this site. Maybe I should try and be more public.
But you definitely don't want to see me in a short skirt with pom-poms.
@approxinfinity I'm sorry I don't sugarcoat KU's ineptness. All the experts proclaimed that we would be 4-0 at this point. Yes, there's a lot of football to be played but I don't see a reason to be very optimistic right now.
@wissox I get it. The truth hurts. You have the option to not read my comments. Or you can block me.
@rockchalkjayhawk it's KU football. Nobody gives a crap.
@drgnslay respectfully,
the first thing you learn is: this :backhand_index_pointing_right_medium-light_skin_tone: is a football 🏈.
I'm not sure we've figured that out yet.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Well, they're good teams - but not great. We should have won both of those. Since we had fourth quarter leads in all of our games, to me they're all bad losses.
@approxinfinity 45 isn't exactly crowning them as a Top 10 defense....but they've given up 23, 23 and 32 to not great teams. K-State has, in recent tradition trounced us. My prediction was mostly tongue in cheek, but it's not going to be pretty, whatever the actual score.
@kjayhawks that sounds like what I would normally predict because I'm ticked off. I don't think it will actually be that bad. I'll say 62 - 14.:face_savoring_food:
@jayballer67 They absolutely did get their asses handed to them.
The difference is they will look at video, make adjustments and beat OSU on Saturday.
We will look at video, shrug our shoulders and do the same stupid shit we've been doing and lose by 20 to TCU.
And no, I'm not a K-State fan. Not even for livestock judging.
@Texas-Hawk-10 he meant that the defense was tired of watching the other teams score
@BShark Q - How can you tell when KU fans are excited for basketball?
A - When it's Four games into football season.
@jayballer67 I can't speak for anyone else here, but I'm not calling for his head right now. He DOES need to get off his ass and do something about the OC. And/or the QB. We don't NEED a Heisman Trophy QB this year. We need someone who can hand the damn ball to one of our very talented running backs. Run the ball. Run the ball. Run the ball. If Daniels is going to stay in there (for some unknown reason) - he shouldn't attempt another pass the rest of the season.
@rockchalkjayhawk don't forget Bolton. He's an anchor on defense. Even for an ex Tiger.
@AsadZ In my humble fan opinion, he's thinking too much. We all know what happens when football players think. A couple of years ago he looked like he was playing more instinctually. I think he needs to go out there and let the big dog eat. Ooops. Wrong sport.
@mayjay have you been to the grocery store lately??? Do you have any idea how expensive a good steak is??
@rockchalkjayhawk you'd think someone who's won consecutive Super Bowls would be a little more accurate
@kjayhawks c'mon man. You know I have to make some stupid remark!
But, yeah - Mahomes does seem a little off so far.
@kjayhawks I think he suits up in #6 for Kansas on Saturday
@kjayhawks Ballard could look like a big steaming pile of poo - or maybe LL is just a stubborn ass. I don't know.
@wissox I believe it is significant. He accomplished the biggest thing he could at the level he was. You can't ask for more.
I think if we had last year's OC we'd be ranked about #12 right now
@dylans Wow! You're even more sour on KU football than I am.
We all thought Turner Gill was a good hire. Charlie Weis was at least a known entity when he was hired. Nobody knew anything about Les Miles - except that he had a National Championship under his belt.
Who WOULD you be excited about? Whoever it is, KU would destroy him/her.
@approxinfinity I've told you about using big words around me:face_with_rolling_eyes:
@dylans we've had several coaches that had done well in other jobs and tanked when they got here.
It's Sunday, man. Don't be so contrary. Go Chiefs!
This is Kansas!
We take good coaches and turn them into laughingstocks
@kjayhawks Happy days. Just a few weeks ago a lot of us dumbass fans were predicting one or two LOSSES.
