J6 has one more year, iirc. 

Just have to hope that Self doesn't bounce anytime soon.  Although, I do think Bill is strangling every dollar from every donor possible, I can't imagine the amount of $ focus all KU donors will have to buy and appease whoever the next basketball coach is.  Lance better get a little success and consistency going before Bill quits.  Bill's vacancy will probably take 2 yrs to get everyone to settle down and refocus on football a bit. 

Maybe this is a lose/lose for LL.

No one would enjoy this if both fans and their QB hadn't acted like they wouldn't lose a game.
I would.

I think Leipold is done having success there.  KU needs money for the stadium and basketball now has an endless appetite for funds through NIL.  I don't see enough left for the FB program to be competitive.

The Dax plan for KUMS would have dramatically minimized the current frustrations and kept our Rock Chawkers playing in the friendly confines of KUMS for the duration of the renovation.

Unfortunately the ego driven desire to MLS'ify KUMS has only served to ratchet up frustrations, and that frustration gets amplified further in the form of 60,000 empty seats in Raytown MO . . . an hour away from the view and the pageantry of Rock Chawk Nation football in Lawrence KANSAS.

Now for the entire organization, every game is an away game. Every week the trucks have to be packed up, every week the team has to pile on the bus and travel someplace that's not home.  :frown:

No fun and frivolity of Mass Street in that 22,000 space Arrowhead parking lot  :frown:

Kinda wish they had a bye week to pick up their ruffled feathers but alas they have to go way out west. Maybe they can regroup out there and come back with fresh beaks

I wish I could find it, but I saw a video on twitter doing a pan of the parking lot and the rayhawker saying how awesome the environment was. Watch the video and it's basically silent. There's more excitement in the best buy parking lot.

They'll always have the Guaranteed Rate Bowl victory over powerhouse UNLV.

The best season in the history of Iowa State football was 9 wins.

Last year was something to be proud of, and the half a house it built (maybe).

I just had to run an errand over to Mission and that scene has nothing on the Mission Target parking lot

Good find

It’s definitely an environment
I think that is the parking lot at Academy Sports in Manhattan during back to school season. You can see the trees along the Kansas River in the distance.

I say it a lot but in the "gas, grass, or ass" transaction ass is the most frugal option.

The buzz at Sports Illustrated is that the KU-ASU game may be the hottest game in ASU's history, with an anticipated temperature of 106 degrees (F), previous record was 105 degrees.  Can our Beak 'Em Bros hold up in this environment?

106 in Tempe is like low 80s in Lawrence this time of year.  They won't even notice unless they're *really* a bunch of pussies.

it’s hard to believe that as bad as their offense is, their defense is actually worse
