The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!

Is playing on BTN the highlight of KU's season? I think it might be.

[cfbandyman]

If KU loses to Rutgers, that will be a much worse loss than South Dakota State at this point.

I can't imagine anything good from Rutgers taking that circus on the road at this point.  That whole thing is a raging tire fire.

Being the State University of New Jersey, tire fires and controversy doesn't surprise me.

they want to go Big10 to "maximize their potential"............why don't they try that in the conference they are presently in ?

Unfortunately we're (the Big 12) holding them back

It's because all the major KU donors won't get off their butts to shake out the couch cushions until they see KU in the Big 10. ...because for whatever reason, KU football supporters are obsessed with the Big 10, apparently.

After that invite comes, you will see all the massive support that was just waiting in the wings. Donors will line up, and students will learn the name of their head coach. It's all just a matter of timing.

scenario:  ku goes on the road and beats rutgers.  ku then sells so many commemorative t-shirts and dvds celebrating the win that they build up a $400 million dollar stadium expansion warchest which they draw upon to build the best college football stadium in the entire united states.

whoa that would be a great thing 

[Shooter Jones]

They haven't won a road game in something like 2,200 days.. they'll burn Mass street the eff down if they win.

[Belvis Noland]

if they go on the road and win this game, do they return to Lawrence with a big 10 invite in-hand?

[CNS]

Beaty will get an extension.

[Katpappy]

If they win against this Big 10 team, they'll have confirmation that the Big XII is holding them back.  Due to the fact they can't beat a Big XII team.

I will hit you up one better. 

They sell the DVDs and t-shirts all over America but the SEC steps in and MATCHES that revenue, they build a stadium better than Jerry Dome in FTW and they go big time AF

Damn it!  I was going to project that Big 10 would build KU a new stadium if they beat Rutgers.   FWIW, I watched the '06 bowl game with a KU friend, and he decked himself out in Scarlet Knight gear ( ! ).  Would he be suspicious if I asked to borrow that stuff now?

[Belvis Noland]

this will be a home game for the hawks, ya know with all the Big Apple rock chalkers right down the road

by SEC, i assume you're referring to the securities and exchange commission?  their matching gift is a "thank you" for having such a large number of dollars from their endowment invested in the markets that the SEC monitors?

or were you talking about the sec conference?  honestly, both scenarios are equally plausible.

bottom line is that this win @ rutgers could shape the future of the hawk gridiron program for decades.

[The Big Train]

I for one can not rough ridin' wait for this game 

[ShellShock]

Can you believe these losers down the road think that building a new stadium will bring them wins? Um, hello? Have you seen that shithole? Also, the talent on that roster matches that of a large high school. They are oblivious if they think that A) they have a chance of winning a single game this year, and B) they think that anyone is going to put $100M into a new stadium for a team that's won less than 5 games in the past 5 years.

[star seed 7]

Thanks for clearing that up

[KITNfury]

First world problems, but them having one of the top settings (best?) in the country makes it difficult to change the stadium.

[POWL]

I've never seen a football fan base that hated parking lots like the phog.......mind blowing, really   

[WildcatNkilt]

KU Football starts heading in a positive direction after this weekend.

You just wait.  As soon as they start consistently winning big, the money is going to start rolling in, and they'll have a new stadium in no time.

So, what is your timeline on that? I don't foresee the University of Lawrence being able to "consistently win big" for a very, very, very long time.

Honest question, since I don't care to go over there that often anymore, what do they think of Arrowhead? What did they think of playing at Arrowhead like they did against Mizzou?

Love the ghetto neighborhood.  Great setting (as long as you aren't actually there).

[SEK_EMAW]

Honest question:  have they torn out the discus/shot put/hammer throw pads next to the stadium since they rented the world class track facility from the City of Overbrook?
