shit

the minute i start watching the game stuff starts going wrong

sack
punt into the endzone


:sulk:

The tide has turned.

Just run you stupid ****!

Get it together

What is this, I don't even...

Yep just turned it on and TCU went full rape on Kansas.

Sigh.


THROW DOWN FIELD!

****ing 3rd and 20 lost us the game

It was a nice effort anyway.

Well, it was fun for a while.

The wheels just came off.

Is this on TV? What channel? What's the score now?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

Yes.

Fox Sports 1

27-31 TCU

FS1, 31-27 TCU, they just returned a punt for a TD.... and their offense has shown up in the 2nd half.

Good effort today

Yep wheels falling off.

Idk why I get excited KU ****s me over every time

Moral victory

Not over yet...

I'm down under in Australia... is there a link to this somewhere?

I turned it off so stuff could start going well again.


i didn't.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

This near victory could kill the latest Harbaugh rumors.

That's the only thing that came to mind after TCU thrashed you last week?

Its William. Expect nothing less.

Say what you will... that was fun!

This!!!!

There weren't enough people at the game to tear down the goal post, anyway.

Good effort.

Williamtheirish weeps for KU

Yes. Wait. No. I also thought "If they (KU) win this, the Cats have a track to the title again".

But yea. So is Harbaugh now off the table?

Was he ever on it?

Bowen is going to get one of the last two. It'll probably be K State

LOL No it wont.

Two games left, and the question seems to be "Has Bowen done enough to earn the job fulltime?".

I think he has, and there are several intangibles. Being a hometown guy is a pretty big deal. Few coaches are looking at Kansas as a destination, in fact I'd guess most are looking at Kansas as a place to get a 5 year contract, work for 3 and get a nice buyout. Bowen looks at Kansas as being the top of the mountain. He brings more enthusiasm and belief in Kansas football than anybody else on the coaching radar.

Today, I'd give him the keys, but the reality is a real search needs to be performed. I do think the Harbaugh situation warrants further investigation, but even if he were to come to Kansas, it would be for 3 or 4 years tops til he went back to the league. He'd build a little, but mostly be a caretaker, and then it would be Bowen's job anyway.

Personally, I'd go with Bowen regardless. Really, after the last 2 head coaches I don't see the issue in giving the job to a hometown guy with seemingly a lot of passion for KU Football. We could - and have - done a lot worse.

Talked with my pal the other day, as you know he said Weis was in process of getting fired and Bowen was going to get that "trial run". He told me yesterday Zenger and the admin already talked to Bowens lawyer and want to hire him. The "chuck neinas search committee" is a ruse to placate 2 big donors who don't want to hire Bowen.

Nice. Don't want to piss off the big donors too much, but he seems like a good fit for KU.

He deserves the job...not just because of the improved performance on the field, but because of how it came about.

It took stones for him to change QBs and play-calling duties the way he did. Those were big gambles, and it's got to be hard to demote a friend. A lot of interim coaches wouldn't have made those moves.

He seems to have a much better handle on the program today than Weis ever did. With Charlie, I always got the impression that he felt he was above the job and that he was doing the Jayhawks a favor by going slumming.

If he can keep this up, they can finish ahead of Iowa State and Tech for sure next year and possibly above Oklahoma State and Baylor. It certainly seems like they hit rock bottom under Weis (probably his pile of crap presser) and have begun to rebound.

I like the "Private money ready". LMAO

Edited to attribute the source. I thought I keyed that in. Sorry PB.

I think you need to also factor in the fact that if you don't hire Bowen do you run the risk of losing him. Could he be so upset that he takes a job elsewhere to continue his career in coaching.

I don't think he's qualified to get a HC job anywhere else but I would be very hesitant about hiring someone else when in fact he is that lifer that KU has been looking for.

Who, what and where is that quote attributable to? You type that in a way that sounds like I wrote it which obv is not true so where's the quote from?

Bowen has shown me enough to seriously consider him as HC. Hopefully, we see the same thing that we've seen the past 2 weeks these next 2 weeks.

Sorry. I'll edit it. It's from phog. About a 5 pager that I just read claiming ... well all manner of stuff.

My sources say...
Big money donors say...

All that stuff.

Meh, many team forums have those kinds of posters. Hell, we have had plenty of those here on CP over the years. I'm sure your favorite KSU forums have those, as well. Take them with a grain of salt.

It's also claiming "Harbaugh was a done deal" 2 years ago. Good stuff.

Oh. Like I say about my own info: take all with a grain of salt. My mole is almost impeccable though and my posts here have been spot on:

Weis in process of being fired
Bowen to get trial run (not Reagan like the KU boards assumed)
Frankamp left and wants to go West to CU, ASU etc (visiting CU now)


If and when he passes along wrong info ill own it. But it rarely happens

Bowen doesn't strike me as a guy who would get pissed and leave. I base that on almost nothing, admittedly, but the way he handled the play calling situation gives me the impression that he's all about what's best for the team and unconcerned by politics. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing in the long run remains to be seen, but it's certainly an admirable trait. It kind of sucks that politics are almost as important as coaching anymore, but that's big money athletics.

That was Jeff Chadia. It was discussed many times on Petro's show. No KU fan has said anything about Harbaugh to Kansas from what I know.

You mean this time? Or two years ago?

Two years ago.

Bowen is a fantastic hire. A+. Give him the keys.

As long as he doesn't constantly get exposed in big games I agree with you.

It's Patterson!

http://worldonline.media.clients.ell...adc9882ddc67a9

It's the Big 12. "Bye Weeks" is our middle name.

Something I’ve never said before now for $1000 alex.

Our Football team looked much better in their last game than did our Basketball team.

Wait....WTH? Why do you need to even have a bye week listed on your schedule when you've already played your last game of the season?

***** OFFICIAL 2014 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD *****
 

Someone might want to tell Bowen that OU is gonna hand it off to Perine

Blowen is the perfect ku coach.

Ku should quit football. It would be the best thing for the school and conference.

QBs are a combined 11/35 passing.

Felt like an MU-FLA game.

For those not watching :(Every KU fan on CP) it's raining like a mother and the game start was delayed 90 minutes due to severe weather.

It's not like this is a BIG10 game.

Damn it! Beat me to it.

You could make that argument for 1/2 of all power 5 conf.

Eerily similar. Mizzou led that one 42-6 until FLA got a garbage time score. Oklahoma won 44-7. That's an apt comparison.

Delusion is your friend.

Game should have never been played.

Shit was a joke.

No it wasn't. What's a joke is the football program.

Games have been played in much, much worse conditions.

Rerun, 3 weeks ago: "And Yes I would LOVE, absolutely LOVE if KU left the Big vaginal conference and went to the SEC with MU. You are criminally reeruned to disagree with it."


Rerun, today: "Ku should quit football. It would be the best thing for the school and conference."




Make up your mind doofus.

Who the **** cares about today this freshmen running backs a stud.

Nah. It's more fun this way.

It's a Rerun's prerogative to change her mind.

I do what I can. Some women are very stubborn and very hard to change.

It was like watching AP. The Big 8/Big 12 has had the best RBs to ever play college football and that isn't changing anytime soon.

Bowen's been involved with this garbage far too long.

Completely unprepared. Already given up.
