So much hate for KU football on 810...
 

I love it.

KU football sucks.

Zero expectations.

The BCS didn't think so.

I know, I think it's great.

What are your expectations for the upcoming season?

What a great thread.

Chug Chug Chug

That they get to play football on saturdays....

So does your mom and NU basketball... Whats your point?

Sept. 4 North Dakota State - W
Sept. 11 Georgia Tech - W
Sept. 18 @Southern Mississippi - L
Sept. 25 New Mexico State - W
Oct. 2 @Baylor Waco, Texas - L
Oct. 16 Kansas State - W
Oct. 23 Texas A&M - L
Oct. 30 @Iowa State - W
Nov. 6 Colorado - W
Nov. 13 @Nebraska - L
Nov. 20 Oklahoma State - W
Nov. 27 Missouri Kansas City, Mo. - L

Out of OSU and A&M they win one and lose one...

7-5 finish 3rd in North. Pinstripe Bowl in New York City with incredible exposure being the first bowl in New Yankee Stadium.

schedule, schedule, schedule

I'll have some of what you're smoking.

That would be nice, but I see the only victories as Southern Mississippi, New Mexico State, and K-State at home.

Then probably 1 out of 3, or if we are really lucky 2 out of 3 of the Iowa State, Baylor, and Colorado games.

My prediction is 4-8.

I don't think KU will beat Tech, KSU, or OSU. And the Colorado game will be 50-50.

It's ok, though. Homerism is an expected ingredient of ChiefsPlanet from time to time.

I think it's legit for ku to finish 5-7 (my additions in red), especially with that favorable schedule. That said, I think you are going to struggle to beat KSU and OSU, even in Larryville. With your injuries, a new system, and uncertainty at QB, that's a lot to deal with in year 1 of the Gill Era.

I just want to win the Superbowl on Oct 16. /sarcasm

ROFL - SB? I thought your rival was MU?:D

But the game has been moved to Thursday? HAHAHA YOU GOT TRICKED!

Whatever the date I have tickets in the 11th Row and its going to be awesome.

Nice. I sat about 48 rows up last year but I honestly don't think theres a bad seat in that stadium.

You can have more than one rival. I grew up in Southwest Kansas so in my eyes the KSU rivalry is bigger. In the KC area the MU rivalry is bigger. Its all a matter of perspective. The other thing is since my season tickets will likely never include a home MU game and also the fact they keep putting that game on Thanksgiving weekend ( I am always out of town) I will count KSU as a bigger rivalry in my mind.

You won't beat KSU this year.

Probably not. That team is downright scary. They should challenge Nebraska for the North title. :rolleyes:

I'm just flipping you some shit. No doubt in my mind, it's a rivalry game, especially this year - both teams will be battling it out for the last B12 Bowl Spot, imo.

The best is the KSU hype. I can't stop snickering...

True.

But I also think KU can win at Southern Miss and at Baylor which I've written down at losses.

Point is that it's not armageddon in Lawrence as the the local media is making it out to be.

But who really cares. I just can't wait for the damn games to start!

Arrow that pic in your sig is a glorious site. Nothing better in the Midwest.

:D

What KSU hype are you seeing, that I must be missing?

Any time KK opens his fat gape.

BS.

If you actually listen to him, he slams them as much as he praises them. You sensitive giners in Larryville don't balance your listening though. :)

Probably true... I quit listening to that douche years ago ;)

I guess predicting KSU will finish 3rd or 4th in the North is "hype".

HOMER!1111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is a solid prediction IMO.

Much more accurate than all the mildkittens I know, who thought last year's 6-6 was a sign that KSU was a legit team. LOL. Two of those wins were against 1AA teams, but you will still hear "Man, KSU shud have gun ta err bowell game!" in many purple-clad circles. That is, between the bleating of their "girlfriends" and the chaw spittle tinking in the rustry coffee can. :D

I'm more optimistic than some, but less that others. 6 - 6

Yep, 2 FCS wins, and 2 Farmageddon wins aren't going to cut it.

6-6 or 5-7 is reasonable. Then again, we very well could drop the KSU, CU, and MU games...

The QB concerns me greatly, but I am very encouraged by the running game and the WRs.

The defense is also worrysome. There have simply been too many injuries this offseason.

shit, you're high. Ku loses to Georgia Tech by 14 to 17 pts easy.

:clap: That is what I'm thinking.

KU isn't winning @ISU.

I hear ya. The ku phags that hang out in my wifes wine club all talk about how close ku was to getting to the NCAA Tournament football post-season tipoff match in 2009. They're excited to see what Coach Self can do with that front line on the gridiron this season.

LOL.

How do you think KSU will do against ISU at arrowhead?

Probably similar to the results of last season - a close win. And, we're the home team:D

It's fitting Keitzman is the leader of the cats here in KC.

I gave KU a loss against MU as well which was a bit premature on my part.

A team that got blown out by Navy and lost some key defensive players won't be that good this year.

True. I think KSU will win. And KU hasn't lost to Iowa State in years so I don't see why that should change.

Leader of the Cat's?ROFL

No. He's the most vocal (supporter and detractor), but not the leader. If there WAS a leader in KC it would have to be Stan Weber. He's the best at giving a solid, unbiased opinion of the Cat's, and the B12 in general.

I'll have some of what you're selling lol!!! In all honesty I don't know what to excpect from Bill Snyder V 2.0. I have expectations, but just not sure what they are yet. If we can find a QB that won't be unseated by a 6th year walk-on or whatever the hell Gregory was last year our offense could be pretty damn tough. I know we can sure as hell run the ball. Haven't a clue what to expect from our defense. We don't have that cozy schedule like last year either. I've got a feeling this is another 6-6 or 7-5 team. I think 2011 they will be much improved a take a big step with the recruits coming in (Bryce Brown in particular) and the guys that transferred in last year like Harper that will be playing this year. Year three of Bill Snyder 2.0 is when I expect things to really get back in order. Problem then being (as for all the North teams) we will all being playing Texas and OU every year and will only have a couple warm up games before Big 12 play starts. Going to be much more difficult for the "would've been left outs" every year starting next year, but the good thing for us KU, MU, K-State fans we are at least still part of a BCS conference.........albeit a much tougher one now.

For you KU guys it could be pretty miserable again. I don't think the Rev can make a whole lot of difference in just one year especially after losing a great college QB like Reesing. Dude has more than got his work cut out for him especially with how KU played last year. He's basically starting over like Snyder had to last year. It was a shock to me that we were contending for the North as late into the season as we were. Realistically if KU goes 5-7 you have to be pretty happy as a fan. That would be a good first step after that abortion of a season last year. I think Turner is a good coach, but nobody really knows for sure.

Oh and you won't be beating K-State this year either! :D

Awe, poor Billay....

Don't bring up someones family you ****ing cockbag unless you want me talking shit on yours.

That totally sucks. Were going to that game, My Brother in Law is a GT grad and my sister is a GT homer now..

They are flying in and were alll going to the game together... Should be good times...

That fact that your going to talk shit is laughable.... Carry on though... Give it your best shot...

Aren't you the one who loves Redrum for his mom jokes?

I would have to say CT, that KK is the voice of KSU athletics.... Don't deny it, embrace the fact that KC's biggest sports radio star is your biggest Cheerleader...

Oh noes... Billay is going to talk about my family.... :eek: What shall I do now...

Never read his mom jokes I liked his random Pm's about bongo lines to the drinking fountain.

KU is goin to suck this year.... 5 wins is being very generous.......

Look man, it sucks that your mom has passed. But I'm sure the dude that posted that had no idea your mom had passed. It's nothing to get bent out of shape over. Your mom has become popular slang for just joking around, I wouldn't think of it literally

I can't and won't:harumph:

No different than any other year.

I know Willie he probably didn't know but even if she was alive so what? Don't talk about peoples family because someone says your team sucks.

ROFL

Come on ChiTown... You know deep down, you really want to embrace it... You feel it tugging at your heart strings....

I don't know about media hype, but there are a couple of MUrons in this thread that think KSU is gonna walk into Lawrence and beat KU. And they seem to suggest it matter of fact like it won't be any big effort. :rolleyes:

Yes, there are question marks in Gill's first season. FTR, I am cautiously optimistic. But let's be realistic here. The cupboard was not left bare. This is not the same KU program that was one of the worst in NCAA div. I when Mangino took over in 2002. Gill has some pieces to work with. He put together a decent coaching (and recruiting) staff.

Last year, IMO, was an anomaly. That team was better than the record. Reesing was so good for so long that it was pretty much impossible for Mangino to find the will to sit him. But that probably would have been best at the time because something was wrong with TR last year. He gave away more than one game last year with turnovers. And the defense was bad for a multitude of reasons starting with coaching. I think it will be improved this year.

I can't wait for the season. Should be interesting to see how these predictions compare to reality.

What if a certain pathetic piece of shit MU fan says "I hope your mom dies of cancer". Is that meant to be taken personally?

Thats horrible. Who said that?

They were talking down here on the sports animal... They think KSU can challenge NE for the north title this year....

This is well put.

The team gave up on Mangino plain and simple last year. They were much better that what they showed.

And love him or not Reesing was absolute garbage the 2nd half of last year. He had a great run but I'm glad his time is done at KU. Time for a new era.

The talent level is very good (especially in WR). At least compared to years ago. But those same questions exist at all the North schools.. remind me who is starting QB at Nebraska and KSU...oh that's right, they don't know.

The injuries are the worrisome part. KU has lost a starter on both sides of the ball and can't afford any more.

If this was last year's schedule I'd be scared as hell. But it's not. It's workable. RCJHK

I was cautiously optimistic before the rash of injuries to the defensive front seven and the OL. I think KU will have to do a 180 from its previous identity to make it to .500 this year. They'll have to run their big backs three yards at a time, keep the ball away from the other offense and try not to wear out their thin defense. Mix in a little play action pass, maybe a version of the wildcat, and hope we can let the other team sabotage itself a little.

I'm very excited about what Gill will be able to do, but he's got some major hurdles to clear including a starting QB. He probably won't be able to implement his full offense, thus limiting what he'll be able to sell to future recruits, and KU will go into the round robin games next year when they might have had a chance to build by skipping the "Big 2". If Gill gets this team to .500, I think he'll be OK on the recruiting side. If he gets us to Bowl eligibility, he should be in line for some coach of the year considerations.

We do have some talent at the skill positions, aside from QB, and a lot of experience on the OL, so that is some room for optimism, an I'm hearing good things about the secondary. We had some good starters at LB until Tharp got injured and the DL was already thin before the injuries and dismissals. I think we're banking a lot on the staff this year and hoping we can coach up a few more victories this year. GT at home is going to be tough and So. Miss on the road will be no picnic either. I'll feel more confident about assessing our Big XII prospects after that. Seems like every year someone surprises and someone doesn't meet expectations, so hopefully we're on the surprise side this year. I'll cheer 'em on regardless.

Lose. I don't see why people are so down on ISU.

Whoever said it deserves to be beaten.

Well of course, I'm talking about the typical immature phrase of "that is what your mom said". You get the idea. If somebody says something like that, they should be stoned to death

Can we just beat all MU fans? That way we know we got the right one?

:D

:rolleyes:

The ****ing grandmaster one who sucks the penis, eazyb81. ****ing toolshed.

C - for originality. B+ for classlessness.

Are dead quarterbacks off limits, too?
