Hmmm, it seems #20StraightConferenceLosses nation . . .

Our recruiting class this year was really solid, and I'm hearing good things about Heaps.  Hopefully Weis can keep owning Old Balls in recruiting and force him to retire (just like Mangino did).

 

I agree on Heaps and the recruiting.  I would venture to say that KU has both the best QB and the best coach this preseason.

Well, I know you're being sarcastic, but Heaps was the #1 QB recruit in his class.  Crist sucked, but he was the first 5-star QB we've ever had at KU.  There was reason to be optimistic.  He was our Jason Bennett, if you will.  Maybe Heaps can be our Curtis Kelly/Denis Clemente?

I hope so.  My in laws would be super happy.

Excellent point

Charlie Weis Jr. getting on twitter and Rock Chalking his ass off is also pretty great.

REALLY CLOSE

Heaps seems like kind of a pussy. Maybe he's your Wally Judge?

Except Bennett was a highschool kid who'd yet to play college basketball.  Crist played at ND and was benched for a better player.  Likewise, Heaps played at BYU and was benched for a better player, Riley Nelson, who actually wasn't that good of a QB.

You should still be optimistic, considering where you're at..

It is impossible for ku football to get any worse.

this is simply untrue.  they still won a game last year.

[Dugout DickStone]

KU was really close to beating Texas and Texas Tech last year.  Okie State was close too.  I think the program's headed in the right direction.  In fact I think KU's going to be a pretty tough win for a lot of teams next season.

I think KU beats Tech and stops this streak at 20, fwiw. Things will get ugly if they don't.

If they don't, they pretty much write off the season, decide what the talking point will be with regards to Chuck, then start BB season and FB recruiting discussions.

Yeah, they follow the Tech game with @TCU, OU, Baylor, @Texas, and @OSU. They won't have another winnable game until mid-November. Hopefully Weis realizes that his ass is fired after this season if he doesn't beat Tech, and he fixes this train wreck.

 they totally almost beat TExas last year.

Beems, how many games does KU win this year, and against who?

Belvis, correct me if I'm wrong.  You are saying KU football is Andy Dufresne in Shawshank Redemption.  When Turner Gill was at KU, it was like being Andy just starting to tunnel through the wall while still have to dodge the gang rapists, psychotic guards, and a ruthless warden.  But now things are a bit better with Weis at the helm with Heaps in the wings, KU football is now like Andy crawling through the stinky, sludgy claustrophobic sewage pipe, hoping for freedom (of course, it could be blocked, have a $h1t tsunami, or something else stop him because what lies ahead is unknown) - you ain't there by any means, but there is hope.
