Bilas Preseason List

Enjoy!

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Effective immediately, all Kansas men's basketball radio broadcasts will be moving from 105.9 FM to 92.9 FM "The Bull" in Lawrence beginning with Friday's charity exhibition game at Arkansas.

Fans can now tune in to 92.9 FM for all play-by-play coverage of the upcoming No.1 Kansas men's basketball season.

The decision to move stations comes following the recent sale of 105.9 FM by its parent company, Great Plains Media (GPM), to Reyes Media out of Kansas City.

While the format change to a Spanish-language station on 105.9 FM is not expected until January 1, 2025, the proactive move to 92.9 FM ensures continuity throughout the basketball season without mid-season disruptions.

92.9 FM "The Bull" will make its debut on Friday, Oct. 25 when No. 1 Kansas takes on No. 16 Arkansas in a charity exhibition game at 8 p.m. CT. Kansas football broadcasts will remain on 105.9 FM.

This guy was so young and did such a great job with Kennesaw St and was fun to watch them in the tourney recently.​

South Florida basketball coach Amir Abdur-Rahim dies at age 43

Being reported that he will announce on Nov 10th. @shay or any other insiders……how we feeling on this?

Just got done watching more of their game against Colorado and West Virginia.

Kansas State plays like their hair is on fire. There are very few snaps in which they don't give maximum effort 100%. KU is going to have to find a way to match that. Last year I thought they did a pretty good job but it was a different deal because the game was at home.

Last year I thought the team fed off the energy from a really good crowd.

I worry about Avery Johnson and Giddens, Edwards hammering the perimeter on runs. The KU LB aren't fast and to fill those outside lanes you're going to need good safety play. I know the secondary is still banged up.

“2-5” KU has been prepping for this game for 3 weeks

Talking about the KU game on a Garden City radio station. He said KU is number one in the country in red zone offense and the defense is number 31. I had to look it up to verify.

Freshman that got thrown into action last week. Has over 300 passing and 100 rushing in the 3rd quarter tonight. Kid is gonna make some money


Game is on epsn2 and ODU is dominating

"The semifinalists for the eighth annual Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year were announced today, a group that includes 20 of the nation’s top leaders in college football.

Compiled by a subset of the Jason Witten Collegiate Man of the Year Selection Committee, the semifinalists have all demonstrated a record of leadership by exhibiting exceptional courage, integrity and sportsmanship both on and off the field."


Let's see him be a man this Saturday in another way that's more meaningful to some of y'all crazy fans

Was looking at the numbers a bit closer this morning--our teams are actually pretty close in a lot of straight statistical categories.

Defense:

Yards allowed: KU 358 (209 passing, 149 rushing); KSU 333 (250 passing, 83 rushing)--Advantage to KSU on rushing, KU on passing, basically a wash in terms of totals
Points allowed: KU 24 per game, KSU 21 per game--a field goal difference, not that significant
Sacks: KU 17, KSU 20--a difference of about a half sack per game in KSU's favor
INT: KU 10, KSU 7--a comparable advantage for KU here
Fumbles: KU 3, KSU 6--the turnover battle is even

Offense:
KU 409 (195 passing, 214 rushing); KSU 428 (205 passing, 223 rushing)--slight advantage to KSU overall, pretty comparable numbers on all fronts
Points scored: KU 30.4, KSU 33.3--again, about a field goal difference, not that significant--when added to the field goal difference on defense, about a six point total difference
Sacks allowed: KU 7, KSU 8--no difference
INT: KU 8, KSU 5--minor difference, not significant
Could not find fumble info

So the numbers based on performance so far this year are marginally favorable to KSU, but not overwhelmingly so. We both suck at returning kickoffs, they are better than us at returning punts because they have broken two long ones (we only have three punt returns this year, for those calling for us to just fair catch everything on Saturday--seems likely). They have punted more times than us, but they have a better net than ours (Greaves is fourth in average punt, fourth from last in net).

I don't know why people are so utterly convinced that this is a loss other than that it is KSU, and they have some voodoo magic hex on us. We actually match up pretty decently statistically, and while we have some things to be concerned about on defense (linebackers tracking the QB, wrapping up our tackles, defending the middle of the field) they have some things to be concerned about too (pass defense in general, passing to our backs specifically, stopping Neal).

Buck up, buttercups. We are going to be in this thing if we don't throw away our chances.

Has us #43 even with a 2-5 record.

Shows we are better team than record indicates. Teams we are ahead of in rankings -

Washington State 6-1
Illinois 6-1
Syracuse 5-1
Arizona State5-2
Vanderbilt 5-2
NCState 4-4
Memphis 6-1
UNLV 6-1

How is our NIL doing? With 2-5 start can't believe donors are sending large sums for football. What's the deal @CarolinaHawk098

5-0 Liberty a 28 point favorite over 0-6 Kennesaw State.

Liberty loses 27-24.

K-State is a 10 point favorite…

@JK do you know if he was talking about NIL in its current form/ or when they do revenue sharing.

Didn't see anything posted about this but made a Final 4 for this portal kid. Seems like he would be a solid pickup. Hear anything on this JK?

I think I'd be blitzing the crap out of Avery and trying to hit him darn near every play. I'd leave our corners on an island a decent amount to free up blitzers and then hopefully Avery will put a few balls up for grabs. No way am I sitting back all day and letting him pick us apart or eventually scramble for 300 yards when our 4 man rush doesn't get to him. I'm definitely going to force him to make quick decisions and hopefully he'll make a mistake or two or take some inopportune sacks. I'm definitely expecting the line to get their hands up and hopefully deflect or tip some passes and then bringing different blitzers so we can slip some backers into some hot read areas. Need to try to disguise some coverages and confuse Avery. Really wanna force the issue and hopefully Avery makes a couple bad decisions and Cobee or Mello can jump a route. Really think we need to force 3 turnovers this week. Finally, found it interesting that Avery had 0 carries last week. Not sure if they're worried about his health or trying to lull us into thinking they won't run him this week. I was talking to a KSU fan and he thought not running Avery really hurt the effectiveness of Giddens (3.2 ypc and only 2.3 ypc if you take out his long run of the day).

On offense, obviously pounding the rock and probably taking shots any time I can get Arnold or Skinner in single coverage down the field and would like to get Wilson deep down the field too. Gotta think we can hurt K-State through the air and hopefully Jalon can have some timely scrambles that are back breakers. Fourth and short we need to be aggressive. If we're going to lose, let's lose being aggressive. Would like the staff to pull out all the stops to try to end this stupid streak.

Hawks rally to take set 1 24-21. Hawks-1 ISU-0

Hope they don’t give him the bag all at once.

I could see them having a crappy season then he “opts out” the last half so he doesn’t “risk injury”…

At least I don't ever remember seeing it done before

I was going in to buy tickets to take my three kids to the game on 11/2 and see that they are sold out through KU but also nothing available on Seatgeek or Stubhub.

If anyone is looking to part ways with 4 seats to that game, please hit me up. Thank you!
