No blindsides for me re Royals.

Chiefs have had disappointing and horrible postseason losses, but wouldn’t call those blindsides per se.

Ditto re KU basketball. Disappointing seasons and tourney losses, but again wouldn’t call those blindsides.

This team completely blindsided me.

ChatGPT can make mistakes. Check important info.

Heard they are doing a scrimmage getting some of the younger guys a lot of reps.

Apologize if covered already, but I didn't see any posts at first glance. How are we feeling about this change? Switching to more of a contractual deal it looks like.

Is anyone concerned about our backcourt? It seems thin somewhat weak compared to the rest of our
roster. Give me your thoughts.

2 for $30 for upper and 2 for $60 for lower vs Houston. Just got an email

Well it's Ram's turn to crow! Owasso is truly the best team in Oklahoma 6A-1 this year! They totally destroyed Union tonight at Union. I was at the game. Union is not even close to being the best team in 6A-1 this year. They are not cohesive, nor organized like the Union teams I am used to watching. They are a good team, but not a great team. Owasso is extremely solid at every position! Broken Arrow is way off their norm, Bixby is truly in a down cycle, and Jenks is truly "OK!"...and not a world beater. Nothing in the OKC area seems to be close to the East again, and as always. I am calling Owasso as the Oklahoma 6A-1 championship to Owasso. It's theirs to lose!

I thought they would be pretty bad. They actually are decent.

I'm at the 7:00 mark of the third quarter in their Iowa State game. Iowa State is up 3-0 and Houston is driving. Obviously I know the final score I'm just surprised at this point how well their defense is playing.

Anyone heard anything/update about Cobee and his injury?

Some good ideas in here. I don't know if it'll get any traction but seems better than some of the past proposals I've read. This is a bad year for KU to tank on the gridiron.

One of two teams (Miami) that is 6-0 on the year.
Average score 48-15.

Did we hire the wrong coach? (2019 search)

Lawrence Arnold married? Just had a unique encounter at work an individual stopped by my office and saw my KU stuff and asked if I was a huge KU fan, and made the comment of being real good friends with #2 and his wife due to being military and so I asked the question of what is his thoughts of the season……..disappointed in how the season has went and I followed up with the comment fans want to know what is going on if it is something internal…….the comment back was “OC seems to be a fish out of water”

So I will die on the hill that Jeff grimes is the majority of the issue……..

Do you think this staff puts enough pressure on the players to be accountable for every play on the field? Each blocking assignment, each defensive read, each tackle, etc. I seem to remember Grimes making a comment after the Illinois game that they were not going to even watch the film. Really?!?!?! There's a reason that a$$hole coaches are successful (Mangino, Sabin, etc). They build a culture of doing things right every single time or you lose your job, your start, get benched, get embarrassed in the film room, etc. I'm in no position to know, but if feels like this is lacking.

According to a source close to the high school, Kansas recently checked on this kid. Could be something to watch moving forward.

askign for a friend, would like to drink a beer or 2 and have a glizzy pregame. Will pay with money and scoops. (im the friend)

A lot of teams will end their seasons in late November so I'm certain you're going to see a lot of players announcing their intentions to enter the portal but can't officially.

Been said LL doesn't offer NIL to most high school recruits will he change?

The belief is this was going to go away. My guess is it will be the last year for the spring portal window.

There are coaches all over the country moaning and groaning right now.

No one has mentioned the article in school paper critiquing LL.
