Hearing A Lot Of "Grumblings" From Squawks About Getting Rid Of Charlie

[OregonSmock]

ku has lost 20 consecutive conference games, and 28 out of the last 34.   ku has been outscored over that stretch by nearly a 3:1 margin in conference play.   That's literally at Bob Valasente era levels of futility.   In fact it's even worse when you consider that college has evolved to where it is and schools spend so much more money on it now.

There were two teams playing in the Toilet Bowl in '88 and one of them was named ku.

I'm sorry you had to live through that time period, but KU isn't anything close to as morbidly bad as K-State was during the Futility U era.  You guys were losing consistently to teams like Austin Peay.

Rice?  South Dakota state?

Rice is an FBS program that went to a bowl last year, and KU lost to North Dakota State in Turner Gill's first year (finished that season at 3-9 with a win against Georgia Tech).  Like I said, nothing close to as bad as Futility U.

'grats on not being quite as bad as 1980s KSU. Really high bar you're setting for yourself.

Beems thinks beating lower level ACC teams is impressive.

May god have mercy on his soul.

Truth be told, the Georgia Tech team that ku/Gill took down in Gill's first season was legit good--they had that cool triple option play going pretty well.  Could never figure out why ku could do so well in one game, and play so poorly the rest of the season.

Seven years seems a little high.  If Weis stays seven years, it's because he turned the program around and went to a few bowl games.  By that point, Weis would probably be ready to retire.

But, but, will he live that long? 

How old is Snyder?  73?

One in the same

Makes Bill look eerily similar to Paterno. Keep the hair white.

[Havs]

Beems, ku won 12 games during a period K-State won 8 in the last years of Futility U..   During that time ku lost to K-State once, and tied K-State once.   3 of those 12 wins were over K-State, and includes two years under Mason as compared to 1 year under Snyder.   ku was every bit as woeful as K-State, I should know, I saw lots of ku games, including the Toilet Bowl.

Sounds like KU and KState were thunder buddies through the storm. Man, I'm really jealous.

[Shacks]

Man, Charlie is BITB at negotiating buyouts.  Wonder how much KU will owe him once he's fired.

Wow. Great no-work gig if you can get it...and Charlie got it.

They went 6-7 including wins over south carolina state, middle tennessee, wake forest and duke.

Well, furk, they looked good early season, wasn't aware that they had that long losing streak.  My bad.   

[CHONGS]

I think you guys are being a bit too mean to Beems here.  KU was pretty salty 6 years ago no doubt about it.

Would have loved to see them play OU or UT

I agree with Jayhawk nation, their biggest game is always us and it's not close. Fun to try to knock off goliath I guess

Some message board discussion indicates that OU and Texas are bigger games because they are "national programs". 

The rule of thumb says:  In-State, same conference, must win.   

[Pett]

National media agrees

If there is anything the Squaks have learned from Indoor Lady Track, it is baby steps...you have to walk before you can run.  They need to be realistic and set their sights on Rice.

      ku fans thinking that their program is more than a speed bump on the radar of OU or UT.

[kostakio]

Stan Parrish is probably the worst coach in KSU history he went 2-30-1 in three seasons at KSU.  Yet the funny thing is he didn't have a losing record against KU he was 1-1-1 against them.  The year KSU lost to Austin Peay they tied KU. 

[deputy dawg]

A lot of KU fans made a big deal about how Chaz was doing things "the right way" by getting rid of the riff raff that had found its way onto the FB team.  Interesting that several of those players have found their way back onto the roster.  The Martin fiasco is some notable blowback from Chaz bringing the MCMW players back.  I wonder how adept the KU fanbase will be at howling for Chaz's head if the Jayhawks win 0 to 1 conference game with the MCMW players aboard.

[Cannoncat]

No no beems seven is too low to turn around that stuck on turd that is in the under pants of college football, Ku. That turd may grow to be Weis' face by the time he rolls out of town and into the frying pan!

They honestly look about the same age when you switch their hair, sad what obesity can do to a fellow. I also think it speaks to the lifegiving power of Taco Bell.
