The schedule:

I figured this would be a long week and time for us to have a new thread :thumb:

I’m in. Let’s roll!

I'm guessing the championship will be December 6 in Dallas. That should be the goal and should it happen, I'll try to be there :thumb:

Anyone heard anything regarding season tickets? I've had tickets since I was a KU student back in 2000, but the KU Athletics ticket office has been very quiet compared to previous years. I had heard some wild numbers being thrown around, but am hoping they have backed off a bit given the disappointment of 2024.

History Awaits again!!! :)

Just got the email. The shift to donation plus ticket price per ticket is starting with the upcoming football season and will start next basketball season as well.

2008 appearance led to an orange bowl title :p

Buddy of mine has a pair of season tickets that were $350 last year and would cost $1,500 to renew.

NIL era is insane that is quite the markup even with a new stadium.

Yeah, I got my renewal information yesterday. I'm in the same situation as your buddy.

I love this despite it not making any sense to me.

Crazy. That's a huge increase.

You and me both. LMAO

Coach is absolutely killing the recruiting trail, especially in the state of Kansas.

I cant really fathom how that is possible if Im being honest.

God damn that's insane. I'm guessing he told them to eat shit?

Yep, that's what we did. Ours went up by a little over 250%

I think that's gotta be bullshit.

I was like, is the April's Fools Day?

Makes no sense to me either!

Its not really that crazy if you are factoring in the brand new stadium as part of the valuation. If you value the actual program as middle of the road, then you'd probably take the middle of the road program with a brand new stadium and theoretically shopping/hotel area over all the other middle of the road teams. Being over Oregon is weird but I could see why we would be over Iowa.

is it normal to have 3 weeks off during the course of a season?

Good stuff. :thumb:

We want Bama

Why can't they work 24 hours 7 days a week to finish the stadium faster. 3 shift a supervisor that bleed in between each shift to make sure everything is being followed right.

It was a pretty bare bones stadium last time I went to a game (20 years ago)

Glad to see they are improving it I guess

What happens when people tell them to **** off with those outrageous prices?

It won’t happen. There’s always a purchaser

College football.

Almost as shitty as Major League Baseball.

Almost.

The real me would never hold such an opinion

I have dirty dirty dreams about LeBron James, Luka Doncic and Jose Bautista.

Hmmm, interesting.

Am I just getting old or does anyone else get annoyed when you hear a young person (usually a woman) end a normal sentence on an up pitch, as if it were a question? :banghead: The girl at about 3 minutes in, ugghh.

WTF? I thought that was you posting.

C'mon, BWillie. That's too much.

That’s what he wants you to think. He’s out of control and has become an agent of pure chaos.

KJ Adams leaving Kansas has pushed BWillie to the brink of insanity.

Get 'em BWillie!!

A few of the men do it as well it is just less noticeable because uptick in pitch doesn’t reach the “Valley Girl” stereotype range…

Bump :thumb:

Damn sorry didn't see this thread when I posted that recruiting news

https://x.com/HuskerAI/status/191251...RsDr5WiJw&s=19

As I said in the other thread if you guys get him that's a hell of a get kids a player

Is this team gonna be average again this year, or what?

LMAO

No clue honestly.

It all comes down to JD.

He kept them from winning several games last year. When he played fine (or at least minimized the mistakes), KU won.

And the wild card is two new coordinators. We need a RT and a backup tackle. Lots of unknown

Bai Jobe has entered the portal. Was really hoping he'd have an impact, sad it didn't work out.

Was in Lawrence last week and got a look at that stadium being built it is impressive.

Charmar Brown visting KU this weekend I think. I know znebraska is pushing hard for him. Hes visited Miami & LSU. Ran for 1,200 yards and 15 touchdowns last year at North Dakota St. I think he's a NFL caliber back

I've been through but haven't driven by the stadium. I have heard it looks amazing. I can't wait to see it.

Some people keep telling me that KU has no money. Blew it all on the Stadium and Bill Self. That we arent even Top 25 in NIL spending.

I don't know how that can be true. HD was the most expensive transfer in his class. AJ Storr was 3rd or 4th most expensive in his class. Just because they werent good doesn't mean we haven't had the money.

I've driven by a few times this year, most recently last Saturday, and it's looking great.
