KU football is NOT going through a rough patch. Cheer on our hawk brothers here!

[The Big Train]

Yeah I was just going to say that.  This is a NATIONAL game.  If you have basic cable you are watching this instead of an ALCS Game 7. 

I don't think you know what basic cable is

I’m pretty sure I do.  Regular fox, cbs, abc etc are all channels you get with basic cable(or what used to be basic cable).  ESPN and FS1 and history channel etc are all a la carte.  Stop being obtuse.

Guess this loss just proves Beaty needs more time.

Exactly.  Rome wasn't built in a day, you know. 

[Dugout DickStone]

No one in America would touch that program if they only give Beaty 3 years.

[MakeItRain]

Whomever decided to put this game on big Fox and Game 7 of the ALCS on FS1 should be fired.

That would be major league baseball, as the deal is for the playoff games before the world series are to appear on FS1. Baseball playoffs draw less than college football, the NFL regular season, and the FOX primetime line up, they just got screwed by that combination of games. No one was more pissed about losing a game 7 with the Yankees to ku vs. tcu than FOX. I'm certain that will end up being their lowest rated primetime CFB game since they started doing them.

We've known for some time now that Zenger is a secret agent for KSU, but this is the first I'm hearing that Weis may have been a super secret agent as well.   

Weis had to be some super secret agent from mizzou or purple-eff nation. He mumped us over more profoundly than NCAA sanctions could ever have done. And SZ just stood by and let him do it. Then BGL gave extensions and raises to everyone and here we are.

[Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)]

Fox’s announcers didn’t exactly know how to process it all. Tim Brando made a comment about how a Cole Moos’ 67-yard punt might have been KU’s best play. At halftime, Matt Leinart was asked to talk about KU and he literally couldn’t, dropping his head into his hands as he started to laugh.

One could understand the reaction. KU’s offense was embarrassingly bad, mustering 21 — 21! — total yards on 49 plays. Seventeen of those yards came on the team’s final drive in garbage time.

To give that some context: College Football Reference’s play index tracks stats going back to 2000. KU’s 21 yards were the worst mark out of more than 26,000 results, beating out Mississippi State’s 24-yard effort against Mississippi in 2008.

Here are some other stats that will take some time to digest:

? The Jayhawks never advanced the ball past their own 43 yard offensively.

? KU finished with negative-25 rushing yards.

? The Jayhawks had four first downs total, with two coming off TCU penalties.

This is what it’s become in KU coach David Beaty’s third year, a hope-filled season circling the drain quicker than anyone could have expected. This drubbing was so out of hand that both coaches agreed to a running clock for the final 12:49 of the fourth quarter — so the teams could end it before severe weather hit.

So where does KU go from here? The next two home games seem vitally important.

The Jayhawks play host to rival Kansas State next week and winless Baylor the week after, representing the two contests left where KU won’t have an overwhelming talent disadvantage.

In other words KU, at 1-6 overall and 0-4 in the Big 12, is running out of time to show signs of progress in Beaty’s third season.

Lol, the talent disparity will certainly be overwhelming

[Powercat Posse]

1) So Ku finished with 21 yards.  I'm not sure, but I would bet this was the worst showing in a B12 matchup since Kstate outgained Ku 566-44 in 1998.

2) Ku is 4-35 in their last 2 games (and 9-55 last 3 games) on 3rd/4th downs. 

In the last 9 quarters, they have 0 pts, 27 punts, 9 First downs

Beaty really is letting me down this year. I can't believe I put faith in him to produce.

[MakeItRain]

Every week I see their point spread and think "waaaayyyy to big" every week they let me down.

In retrospect, Texas losing to these dudes last year is probably the biggest upset in Big 12 history.

OK, now I know you don't know what basic cable is

I first, I felt a bit bad.  However, you are right.  In addition, not only does he pull a ton of dough, I must remember he chose this job, it didn't choose him.

[Deez Nutz]

Every year when I think I have seen the worst team in KU history, the next year comes along and it somehow gets worse.

[Spracne]

It's lol bad. The only relief is the impending death of the sport.

I've said it once I'll say it again, ku needed every one of those 6 turnovers and OT to win that game. It was a major upset, but Texas still only lost by a FG, in OT, after gifting them 6 TO. It's not like ku played that good, texas played that bad.

I feel a little bad for him, but I feel more for the players. I don't like ku at all but this is super demoralizing. One might sign up for D1 football, but one does not sign up to be held to 21 yards of offense.

I don't think you'll like the result when football u in the state of Kansas is forced to pay attention to the hobby sport

He is the guy who everyone thought was some huge game changer when they hired him.

[Cire]

yeah, I think meachem was probably the dan hawkins to cumbie's chris peterson in that offense.
