Will KU Football be better this year than last?
 

Will KU Football be better this year than last?

Who cares?

Can't be much worse...

Better still meaning rarely competitive???

Aren't they already 1-0 after the Spring Game victory?

Yes

No.

Maybe so.

It would almost--almost--be impossible to be worse, so choices left are "same" or "better." I guess I'd bet on "better."

That was a photoshop.

ROFL

They could bring back Turner Gill....

Yes but we won't be that much better. Maybe 5 wins.

They will win 2 games....so yes.

5 wins would be a lot better. I assume anywhere between 3-5 wins. Does Vegas have lines out yet?

I would assume so. Have you seen that pile of crap out there?

Nah, it will be a pile of crap again.

Who has more wins? KU or the Chiefs?

Serious question.

Oh yea, and throw Mizzou in there too.

Uhhhhh..... KU fans?


Just a guess.

Yes they will be better. QB play was dog shit last year. I anticipate Heaps being a big improvement. And yes they did get killed by some teams. But they also lost several close games. Forced TCU into 6TOs yet couldn't score a TD. Lost to Texas on a last second TD. Made a great comeback against OSU only to blow it at the end. Was ahead of Rice and just blew that game. Same with N. Illinois. They also had a tight game against TT and couldn't finish. These close losses are typically signs of a young or inexperienced but improving team.

I'm optimistic. Someone said 5 wins and I think that's fair. I believe they can become bowl eligible if these JUCOS pan out. A big if I know.

3.5 is what I've seen.

3-9

La Tech is likely to beat them in the non-con. I think they get a conference win somewhere, but I have no idea when. Heaps is the key. The team will be as good as he is. The conference has gone from nearly everyone having a really good QB to nearly nobody having one. If Heaps is for real, they could surprise some people.

This is probably pretty close to being accurate.

I think with some lucky bounces maybe we're looking at 5-7. Maybe.

Yes. How could they be worse? Is this Chiefs thread?

Is Mangino available?

I sure hope so. Watching my two favorite team win a combined 3 games totally sucked.

Dumb question....unless you plan another 10 spring games

The only thing we do know going into the season is that KU games will draw their highest ratings from the Western half of Missouri. Like Chiefs sunday type ratings.

But then basketball season rolled around and all was right with the world.

I think they have what it takes to finish dead last 4 years running. It'll be tough, but this might just be the year.

The good news is they get 5 home games and only 4 roads in conf play. Probably not a huge deal since we're in major rebuild mode but everything helps. We did lose at Tech in 2OT last year but for the most part road wins are hard to get at KU. Mangino did a great job winning big at home but Gill & Weis (so far) haven't even done that the past 3 years.

Mizzou is going to have 10 wins?

6-8 would be an improvement from last year

Oh, did TWC pick up the LHN?

In all seriousness, yes. Because Weis wasn't far off with the pile of crap comments.

Heaps has to be an improvement over Crist. McCay's had an offseason to work with him and hopefully will have developed some chemistry. They're pretty stacked at RB.

I'd say 3-4 wins, but a marked improvement in the quality of play.

I think they will beat my Alma Mater, K-State. Well, that's what my ku buddies are telling me anyway. We're doomed!o:-)

Wouldn't they be 1-1 after the spring game?

Butler County probably has more NFL players on its roster than KU

Haven't had much trouble with doing that in the past.

Bowl game this year at 6 and 6

Does the Pope wear a funny hat?

They've had plenty of trouble doing that over the past 25 years since Snyder came. And the games aren't even close. Mangino made it close but we decided to fire him because we hated competitive football and wanted to suck instead.

haha

ROFL

You would think that, but people said the same thing with Crist last year. He just HAD to be better than Jordan Webb. Webb left, and Crist was worse. Can Weis evaluate talent at all?

Absolutely not. A horrid institution; flush it.

Jack Harry said KU should cancel football, a couple years removed from winning the Orange Bowl. Yeah yeah, he's a senile old man but that would be like saying West Virginia should've canceled basketball a couple years after their FInal Four because they were so bad this year. Or if Wichita State struggles for a couple years after this. Hell by comparison to KU basketball, about 98% of programs should cancel the sport.

Jack Harry is an idiot.

It's been a rough few decades for Jack. He had the Royals in '85 but that's about it. Not surprising he would build up his sports fandom by putting down others.

Mizzou will be just fine this season...should win 7-8.

KC...probably about the same

KU...? Maybe four wins at best.

KU can't be worse than last year... Can they?

We should be competing for a big 12 North title...Should be. :D

Did you know that ISU is only 37-49 all time vs. Kansas?


To make matters worse, you have 1/2 the bowl wins and 1/3 the number of times being ranked in the final polls. Let that stew in your brain for a few moments.

Are you saying the Big 12 should add teams?

Well it IS false advertising.....

Really doesn't phase me one bit how they were before Paul Rhoads. But hey do what you gotta do and live in the past.

Oh, the glorious new "Paul Rhoads Era"

ROFL

They will go 2-10 beating LaTech and EMAW

Isn't glorious yet, but he's got it heading in that direction... Can't turn total shit into glory in even just a few years. This is the biggest fastest and strongest team he's had in Ames yet.. It's also the youngest and least experienced. He's been getting a lot better recruits.. But he should have a real good team next year assuming they play like most inexperienced teams this year. But they will probably be around 6-6 again this year.. Talent to do more, experience to do less.

Not sure how they could get much worse.

Side note: how the hell did Mack "The Coddler" Brown manage to keep his job another year after Kansas almost beat Texas? Are they really gonna let him clap his way through a couple more sad, mediocre seasons so he can eke past DKR's win count?

Did you know that KU has an under .500 all-time record?

Did you know that KU set the record for most tie games by one team?

Did you know that KU hasn't won a full conference title since 1930 in the Big Eight?

Sorry, but Kansas fans should be the last fanbase to be talking smack about college football. Your program is one of the worst in the FBS. KU football is a waste of a spot in the Big 12 that a better program like BYU or Boise would actually deserve and make the most of.

Yeah, because KU probably wouldn't have been able to compete in the conferences that BYU and Boise State competed in.

KU is no different than Missouri, Iowa State, Okie State, Baylor or KSU historically. The only one of that group who can talk any legit smack on KU right now is K-State thanks to Snyder's 20-year run. Look up the numbers.


BYU and Boise wouldn't be much better over the long-haul playing in the Big 12. Maybe marginally better.

Iowa States new facilities have been paying off this year so far.. Notre Dame fans were sooo pissed when Lazard visited there and said we had better practice facilities than them LMAO

I don't think the Big 8 existed in 1930.

You are truly a gem.

Bill Self.

and there you have it, folks.

And ISU's record against that is 37-49? That's ****ing awful, bruh.

Arguing about the merits of KU football is like wondering if Kate Upton is smart enough to bang.

I know what side our bread is buttered on.

KU has a BCS win and 3 Football Hall of Famers in their history. They couldn't care less about what other fans thought of them. Football isn't exactly the priority.

Even Jack Harry knows KU is on the rise. Sorry kitties

KU? Oh hell we got it made in the shade this year. Conference domination. BCS domination. I smell roooooooooses!

all BS aside, if Weis is able to wrench that program out of last place this year it will be a major accomplishment. Has the cupboard ever been more bare, talent-wise?

He can run an offense, no doubt about that, but running a whole college program is so much more than that. It's a big job for even the best.

I felt like they were actually improved last year but a combo of no ability to throw downfield and horrific junior high level kicking wasted our solid running game. By the midway point of the year Weis basically gave up on attempting FGs most of the time and just started going for it on 4th down.

Charlie totally pulled a Bowden last year. Let's hope he got a kicker.

KU might be better, but that's like saying a dog turd would smell better with some Febreze sprayed on it.

ROFL

Jack Harry is your kiss of death. Jesus, that was funny
