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

this whole article made me and then trotter dropped this line... 

If all that weren’t enough, Beaty lost Cummings, the projected starting quarterback, to a freak injury when a walk-on crashed into his knee while making a tackle in the spring game, even though Cummings was wearing a no-contact jersey.

Talked to a guy tonight whos son plays WR for KU... said KU has 25 wide receivers. Isn't that like half their team?

lol

[That_Guy]

Same thing that happened to ku fball and ksu basketball, they got rid of a decent coach

What about SMU they were doing decent and better with June Jones. Is he gone now as well? Or were those years just a fluke and they're still struggling from the, "Death," penalty.

Maybe they're not hurting. Or maybe we are suffering with them? There was some discussion on the phog about whether their orange bowl year had more value than the entirety of K-State's last 25 years.

Is that even quantifiable? If you were to use football success and how that turns into donor dollars. . . .well, let's just say that the clip art complex and new practice fields don't hold a candle to the WSC and Vanier 2.0.

That article makes me sad.

Wasn't dollar value. It was more of, would you rather have the Orange bowl year or the last 25 years of K-State's success.

It's clear, based on support and donor dollars, that our 25 years of success is much more "valuable" than their one fluke season.

I know Tampa is a hot wasteland, but out of all those schools, it's got to be the easiest school to recruit to. I don't care how shitty that coach is. 

USF has been struggling to get an on-campus stadium built.  They have zero fan support at Raymond James, and UCF has been taking control of Central Florida for the past few years.  So much so that a recent poll has UCF tied with Miami for the third most popular team in the state.

USF got greedy and ditched Leavitt and didn't invest in an on campus stadium like UCF did.  Combine that with a couple of bad coaching hires (I guess the jury is still out on the new guy), and voila, USF is pretty much relegated to their fate as an also ran for the remainder of time.

It's pretty obvious they just don't know what they're missing. That Orange Bowl is all they have ever had... Not surprising they value the one season. Sad really.

That's just that guy's excuse for his son not starting at WR on the worst team in college football history

You have to remember that we're discussing KU fans here, and when one of them states that the Orange Bowl BCS victory is the greatest thing to happen in Kansas Div I football history, all other fans will adopt or share that belief.  If you mention Bowl Alliance Series, they don't know what you're talking about.

[Prince McJunkins]

Winning the Dr. Pepper is a bigger accomplishment.

[star seed 7]

KU going to an orange bowl is pretty neat, really

[The Big Train]

compared to where they have been since is a once in a lifetime journey

[CHONGS]

PREDICTION:
KU football wins at least two conference games this year!

[Rage Against the McKee]

I'd set the O/U at 1.

[i poo crabs]

I'd set the O/U at 1.

For conference games, the O/U should really be 0.5

[CHONGS]

I'd set the O/U at 1.

I'll take the over!  <- but crimson

[WildcatNkilt]

Who would be their two conference wins?

[john "teach me how to" dougie]

What's sad is in a few years, few people will even remember the BCS. We won a Bowl Alliance game (Fiesta Bowl), but KU hawks don't realize that that was an even more exclusive win than their Orange Bowl.

[CHONGS]

Who would be their two conference wins?

probably ISU and someone else shitty like WVU, Tech, or OSU

@ISU and @OSU would be huge wins for them.
