Does ku baseball have to win the big 12 tournament to make it to Omaha?

No. They would have make a Regional, win that Regional, then win the Super Regional, just to make it to Omaha.

umm, I was just working through my schedule and who the hell thought it would be a good idea to schedule the broncos/ chiefs at arrowhead the day after KU plays Iowa State?

That's going to be a damn busy weekend. KU/ UNC at AFH on Friday, KU/ ISU at Arrowhead on Saturday then the Chiefs/ Donks at Arrowhead on Sunday.

I think single game tickets go on sale today. At least that's what my ticket rep told me.

[cmh6476]

correction, the 4-game arrowhead package goes on sale today. Single game will be closer to the season.

I feel so old, but am excited NCAA Football 25 is coming back to console. Dunno if i'm going to get it because I don't have a PS5, but still... That was always my favorite game to play. KU got a shout out in one of its gameplay trailers recently, too.

Big commitment from local top 250 player Julian Marks ('25 class). Offensive Tackle out of Olathe South. I think he may be 2nd highest recruit in the history of the program behind Warner in this year's class.

The crazy thing is there are two more Kansas kids in the 25 class that KU has legit shots to land. Both of those (Cure and Babalola) would each be the highest in history if they commit. They are both top 100 guys.

If Marks doesn’t work out at OT, they can move him to DL.

Word is that a few major programs liked him more on defense.

If they somehow landed Cure....

Best College Football RB Rooms

3. Kansas
I don't know if I'll ever get used to thinking of Kansas as one of the country's most talented college football teams, but it's a reality in 2024, particularly at the running back position. Devin Neal was one of the best backs in the country last season, even if he's not a household name. He's been one of the most productive backs in the country over the last two seasons, rushing for 2,373 yards and 25 touchdowns. Neal is also a valuable weapon in the passing game with 53 career receptions for 457 yards and three touchdowns.

Daniel Hishaw was a solid No. 2 behind Neal last season, rushing for 626 yards and eight touchdowns. He's back in 2024, too. Both are terrors in the open field; their combination of size and agility make them a serious pain-in-the-you-know-what to tackle.
