***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD *****

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Let's go...

Rob Likens (Offensive Coordinator)

"Rob has been a major player in some of the best offenses in the history of college football,” Beaty said of his new OC, who enjoyed great success at Louisiana Tech and helped lead Cal's 2013 offense to several school records and put the 2014 version in the Top 10 nationally. “I have always been a fan of Rob's ability to develop players who produce at a high level. Rob has learned from some of the best in the country and is as fine of an offensive mind as I have been around. Rob is a man of integrity and character and I cannot wait for our team to be able to benefit from his wisdom."

Zach Yenser (Offensive Line - Run Game Coordinator)

A source with knowledge of the rest of the Kansas University football coaching staff told The Journal-World on Tuesday night that Cal assistant coach Zach Yenser would join Beaty's staff as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator.

Cal coach Sonny Dykes later confirmed the news via a statement given to Cal's Rivals.com site.


Clint Bowen (Defensive Coordinator)

Je'Ney Jackson (Strength and Conditioning)

"Je'Ney brings a great familiarity with the University of Kansas as well as a wealth of experience in the strength and conditioning world," Beaty said. "His ability to develop and relate to our players will be a large part of our initiative moving forward. He is widely regarded as one of the top coordinators in this field. He is without a doubt, my most important hire and we are honored to have him here."

Kevin Kane (Linebackers)

"I always admired Kevin as a player, but I am even more impressed with his ability to teach and develop young players. He is a tireless recruiter and he is as well thought of in the Kansas City community as anyone I know. He will bring an energy and toughness to our team that we will all benefit from. It has been fun watching his linebackers play over the years and I'm glad that he is now coaching our guys.”

Calvin Thibodeaux (Defensive Line)

"His players exhibit responsibility, toughness and passion and we are looking forward to him bringing those elements to KU. His ability as a coach is only surpassed by his upstanding character and integrity as a man."

Klint Kubiak (Wide Receivers)

"He is as hard of a worker as I have ever seen in our profession. His ability to connect with his players in the NFL and at Texas A&M has been impressive to watch. Our wide receivers will benefit greatly from his experience."

Gene Wier (Director of High School Relations)

"Not only is he fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a Jayhawk, but he will certainly add a much-needed element to our staff. His long-standing relationships with the great coaches of the state will allow us to better understand and serve our coaches."

Ugh. This is the stupidest argument and it keeps getting repeated as if it is some sort of truth. Is asinine because it's said by people simply thinking it gets under the skin of KU fans.

It falls in line with those dumb "stupid person is stupid" posts.

Beaty is starting from the ground up.

Lol at KCnutbag for thinking that hoops isn't a sport that matters.

Yes they did. They lost more players to the NFL than schools like TCU.

It will be a challenge this year.

I just post revenue numbers and then fans from all the "football" schools flip out.

It's hilarious.

No wonder they have to pay Nike for gear.

How is that even possible?

Small private school, obviously.

Their combined basketball and football attendance was only 387,364 last year...lowest in the Big 12. Kansas had significantly more at 467,455.

You really are an innumerate idiot.

TCU's stadium holds 45k. Our season tickets are sold out. Individual tickets for our decent home games are pretty much sold out.

Our basketball teams played in a community college gym last year because our basketball stadium was being renovated (another thing that severely constrained capacity).


Oh hey look, here's us playing against weak ass sand aggie (who's still way better than ku) and our stadium is full.




Here's people sitting in GA since our baseball stadium was full.


But hey, you can get a coupon to watch ku play a top-tier bible aggie team. Such awesome attendance.

and here's ku vs. texas tech.

TCU played in the Peach Bowl last year.

It was the first time in 17 years the Peach Bowl didn't sell-out.

When your brand is shit, your brand is shit.

TCU sold all of its allotment for the Peach Bowl. It's not our fault that hicks in Georgia and from Ole Miss didn't buy their share of tickets because they didn't want to watch us stomp a mudhole in Ole Miss.

What was your allotment? Like 100?

The same as Ole Miss' allotment (17k).

That was a strange matchup. Big 12 champ against SEC #5.

Just to back up what I said earlier, I found the pics of the home opener in 2012. This was the first game under Weis and it was against South Dakota State.

[Prison Bitch]

Big 12 standings:

Football record: KU 9th
Football attendance: TCU 9th


TCU fans performed about like the KU football team.
