It’s the off-season. Lighten up.

This.

After a decade of huge crowds, big games, and elite football, the clown birds playing in front of 10k will be a bit embarrassing

I think you're going to be a bit surprised. The Iowa State and Colorado games should all draw pretty big crowds. The Houston game and TCU, maybe not so much.

My wife and her friends will be and the TCU game - TCU Alums. I think there's a group of about 10 of them going. My guess is that you are going to get about +20K Iowa State fans coming to Arrowhead as well. They love KC, and those dorks don't have anything better to do. Buff fans suck, so I doubt you see many of them there.

Not sure exactly what you're saying. If you're suggesting that KU will only have a crowd of 10k, I think you might be shocked.

Kansas Athletics announced Friday that both the Nov. 11 game vs. Texas Tech and the Nov. 18 game vs. Kansas State are both sold out. The pair of sellouts mark the third and fourth of the 2023 season and the sixth and seventh under head coach Lance Leipold. David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium will now be sold out in seven of 12 home games from 2022 to 2023.

7 of 12 home games sold out in a 50k seat stadium the last 2 years. Add to that the fact this team had it's best season in 15 years last year and what is gonna happen?

They're one of the favorites to win the Big 12. This joke might have worked better a couple years ago.

I think it's the Deion hype, not so much their fans would draw a crowd.

KU fans have proven they'll show up if you give them a reason to.

Mutts are the 6th best team in the SEC this year. And that makes them incredibly proud

That would be a top ten team in the nation.

I rather enjoyed it.

Sad part about that is the choice to play the game at Arrowhead likely kept KU from playing for the National Championship that year. A short sighted money grab destroyed a bigger chance at real money.

Game would have been played in September instead at Memorial and KU wins that one.

Yeah, I was pissed when they announced it. Then even more pissed at him when it predictably bit us.
