Phog Gems from the GOAT Sunflower Showdown
« on: November 19, 2023, 04:45:54 AM »
"How are they already about to score? I missed the kick".   -  Man we started so strong.  Felt like we were going to roll.
"Great ******** start guys"
"We may be looking at a long, long day".  - Just you wait.  You're hearts about to get ripped out.

"Sean Snyder must have given a hell of a pep talk" - The Plant succeeded in his mission.  Report back to base.

"Nice start Borland". - He really has improved their defense quickly. 

"Crap, Ballard is out there. We’re sunk".  Dude was a gamer.

"I ******** can’t stand this ******** rivalry god ******** dammit".   You have to win once in awhile for it to be a rivalry.

"Lube up gentlemen. This is going to hurt" - Nice foreshadowing.

"I hate that Ballard pretty much ensures we're going to run, so K-State is completely ready for the run."  - Their OC is a genius.  We knew what they were going to do and still struggled to stop it.  Someone please hire him away.

"So early we are still going to win this game".  :nono:

"Ksu has a horseshoe crammed sooooo deep up their azz this year. Unbelievable"

"Lance is playing not to lose. Grow some balls and let’s just be aggressive and see what happens". They don't deserve Lance

"Maybe we shouldn’t play like puzzys the entire first quarter."

"Do the visiting recruits look impressed?"

"Holy ***** we held there too. Did we not think they would pass?"  That was a big missed call

"Hell yeah! Neal!"  TD KU.  Wished he picked us. Great player. 
"The real deal Devin Neal"

"Please god I will not have a drop of alcohol or any weed at my in-laws for Thanksgiving if we pull this off with our QB3" - Maybe not cut off the alcohol just yet.  You're gonna need it.

"Let that doubt creep into your head kitty kitty."  -  I certainly was doubting.  More like despairing of life.  This game was a miserable experience. 

"We are going to get a pick 6 today". Correction, you should have had a pick 6.  haha dorks

"Hahahaha PUZZZIES". they stop us on third down

"Things are settling down…I like our chances". - but then we re-settled even more.

"What a ******** huge break". -the fumble we didnt get
"Well, there was our miracle"

"The purple hoodies that all the KSU staff is wearing looks like TJ Maxx quality" -    :rolleyes:

"Wildcats can't stop the wildcat."  This was particularly frustrating.

"We're doing it bros".  - Only for 3 quarters tho.

"This is stressful."  Agreed

"NEAL taking over the game!!!"  TD neal again
"That was terrible defense by KSU. How do they not have a single guy covering Neal"

"******* FG unit". Sean Time!!!  Returned XP
"******* Sean Snyder". Agreed
"Are you kidding me"
"Zenger style mole".   :Chirp:
"Are you ******** kidding me? I ******** hate them because they are so good at this ***** and we're never more than just competent."
"If you don't like that, then you don't like KU football"
"Make the GD field goal team run untill they puke on Monday. Enough of this shlt"
"That is so typical of the KU/KSU games. We always screw up special teams… or they excel. Whichever." - The best is yet to come!

"Let's not lose overall sight of what's going on right now...
We took their best punch, and responded with two stops and two scores.
Let's finish this"

"Now the refs are going to determine the outcome of the game". PI on ku
"That is an atrocious call. There wasn't enough there to even squint and see a hold. You gotta be s***ing me."
"I’d be okay if Leipold choked these refs to death"

"That is seriously a game-changing call. We had all the momentum and they completely ******* us."

"It's hard to get too invested in these games when you have refs pull shiz like that constantly, year in and year out". Buncha cry babies

"KSU went the whole first half without a single flag thrown on them."   :kstategrad:

"That PI was really smart by KSU because that was going to be a TD. And because of stupid college rules we had the ball at the 5 instead of the 1 for a penalty in the endzone."

Hell yeah Ballard!!!"  - Hawks take the lead before half
"Man huge of Ballard to take a hit and get that. What a ******** G"
"How do we have 3 great to good QBs on this team? Who's our QB4 lol?"  I think they only have Bean and Ballard tbh

"Eat a dick klieman"
"Kliemann feels he has to yell at the ref too because they finally threw a flag on his team."

"Does KSU travel with their block of wood?"    :lol:

"Fukc you Klinman dirty basturd!!"

KSUck hasn’t given up more than 31 pts in an entire game all season and our freshman QB has 20 in a half. Hats off to our offensive coaches and Ballard"

"Win or lose, we now have a better football program than KSU."  Let's not get carried away.  You're gettin there.

"What a play to start the 2nd half, just fantastic!"  they got themselves a scheme doctor over there.

"Purple bitchezzzzzzzzzz!"

"Neal now 3rd all-time in TDs by a KU RB". Still never beaten the Cats

"Nobody is bigger than the team but I want this win for Devin so bad."   :frown:

"I'm gonna nut"

"Go for the jugular this possession." 

"Is this real life?"

We’re a terrible holding call from being up 27-9 or 34-9 right now"

"I've nutted 4 times this game so far shooting dust at this point"

"OH THAT WOULD’VE BEEN 6". Missed pick 6

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, Rich!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"that was a pick 6…omg"

"and then a huge run….god" - ljmhawk (good to see he's alive and well)

"How do you drop that"

"Why we can’t have nice things. Miss a pick 6 and give up a 50 yd run"

"Rich. Man he coulda been a legend". - Kstate legend more like.

"15-point swing"

"I hate the ‘tater band……". Someone is having some star trek ptsd

"The dropped pick six was really pathetic. Those are the kind of plays you have to make to win these kind of games. Inexcusable! You can’t catch that ball, go play at Washburn. That very failure will cost us this game."

"Is K State where all white big lumpy lineman go to play football. Wisconsin doesn’t have squat on K State."   :peek: kinda true

"Momentum seems to have shifted".  They can feel it coming.  We are inevitable

"Playing not to lose now"

"Now apparently the coaching staff is trying to lose as well"

KSU is the luckiest ******** *********".

"**** yeah Mello!"  Howard Picked

"Needed that. Eff grapes".  - Bro wants to have sex with grapes?   :confused:

"Boner jams 03. We have to score here. We just have to keep this up more than a td."

"If they call holding on KU I am going to murder these refs". HOLDING. BACK UP CRYBABIES

"lol and they flag us for a hold when KSU has been holding every play all ******** game".  they really lost their minds on this one.

"Call the holds on the kittens too you jerk refs"

Refs won’t even review it. The fix is in gentlemen."  -then they screamed for targeting for like 5 pages.   :driving:

"This reffing has been extremely lopsided"

"We are melting down"

"Really needed that three and out. Now SCORE!"  Big sack on Howard.   Is momentum swinging back to the Hawks.

"Just like ******** last year".  - Muffed punt baby!!  You can count on it every year from the smurf turkeys.

"Why the eff did we try to receive that??????"

"Too many low IQ players"

"Have we given up"

"Special teams are dogshit".  Sean our Savior

"Holy ***** man the ***** we do to ***** up games."

"Trevor Wilson god ******** damnit". The Trevor Wilson fan club is quite small at this point

"******* STOP THEM".  - The desperation begins to set in.  It was glorious to read.

"F this game"

"This is rigged"

"KSU HOLDS EVERY ******** PLAY". This was posted every 5 posts. 

"Yeah, we ain't gonna win this. 15 straight fvcking losses. Classic game of "best season in 15 years and still can't beat in-state rival"

"It’s amazing they haven’t been flagged for a single offensive penalty the whole game"

"KU can not help but ***** up special teams EVERY ******** YEAR TO THHESE SHEEP HUMPERS". The sheep humpers strike again

"They score here and we might as well forfeit. Don't think we have the mental strength to come back and win it". Not much of a believer in his boys.

"We are toast"

"I've never seen such a given-away game."

"Frustrating a$$ game"

"Man I almost wish we had gotten blown out rather than this horseshit".  I don't know if this enjoyable win was worth all the stress

"These announcers couldn't suck any more wildcat dick".  Just lashing out in anger now.

"Saw that coming a mile away. Four ********* plays have led to a +32 swing in K-State’s favor.
1. Blocked PAT + 3
2. Phantom interference +7
3. Dropped Miller pick 6 +15
4. Muffed punt +7".                                   :love:

"The number of people giving up on this game when we’re down 4 pts with 10 minutes left is embarrassing. Has no one here watched a football game before?"

"Everyone take a deep breath. We are good. We have a 3rd STRING FRESHMAN starting with the ball and a chance to take the lead in a ranked game vs KSuck in November. Take stock of where we were 2 years ago. Relax. We got this".   :pray:

"I'm ******** sick right now. We are clearly the better team and should be winning by a lot. But our ***** ups and ref ***** ups and we're down 4"

"Why?"   Ballard int

"Ballard too inexperienced"

"Ooof that's game"

"Had to kick that…can’t put a freshman in that position"

"Casey has been eating too much Applebee's. He looks slow and fat and has whiffed on way too many blocks the last few games."  How quickly they turn on their heroes.

"We gave that game away on a silver platter. Just absolutely brutal."

"Play calling incredibly frustrating this half. Went super conservative and predictable up 11. Didn’t start to open the playbook back up again until losing again."

"Wild to think how different this game looks if Miller gets that east pick 6. Butterfly effect is real. Kstate could have damn near folded at that point. Now we got this"

"This ***** is over, so goddamn depressing"

"This game was KUs for the taking and they pissed it away. Congrats Ksuck you beat our 3rd string QB"

"Goddamnit we’re out gaining them by 50 yards but will lose because of ungodly boneheaded mistakes"

2 straight games that KU was the better team. 2 straight losses".   :rolleyes:

"Not over, but it is, so this is the worst loss in a loooong time."

"Ball is moving like crazy lol".  -  lots of begging for an overturn on the 3rd down completion. 

"That’s not tough lol. It’s clearly incomplete"

"We all know how this is gonna go."

"No way these ******** refs will overturn that"

"This will tell you if the fix is in."

"EVERY BIG CALL HAS GONE AGAINST US THIS GAME". CRY

"Losers lose. Its insane how terrible the bottom of our team is".  Real losers lose 15 years in a row

"We had them ....damn"

"The ONLY positive is yes we have caught them I believe that. We just have to cut or trim down the loser players on this team and bring up the new recruits."

"Garbage school and Garbage fan base."  - yes you are

"If we caught them we wouldn’t have pissed down our leg and lost the game AGAIN!"

"Maybe the bitterness of this loss bring him back for next year. One can hope. What an excruciating way to lose against your rival."   - Talking about Neal

"15 damn years in a row… Are we ever going to beat these goat ropers?" 

"All about the details. There’s a reason Kstate has been damn good under Kleinman. They don’t beat themselves. They aren’t overly talented by any means. KU is getting there. Couple mistakes lost this game. Top to bottom KU is on par and maybe even slightly more talented. It’s been a successful year but also a year of coulda woulda shoulda. On our 3rd string walk-on QB Freshman and should have still pulled it out. Next year is the year we take the big big step. Return a LOT. And Jalon WILL stay healthy. And we WILL compete for a spot in the CFP. I mean this team is on its 3rd string QB and is still a few plays away from being a fricken 1 loss football team"

"Very winnable game. You gotta feel bad for Neal. Guy played his goddamn heart out"

"I should be happy it was competitive. But I'm not. Just got back to the van, great weather, great crowd considering all the purple. Wilson needs to transfer. F that guy."

"So it’s Leipold’s fault that Trevor Wilson can’t catch a punt? It’s Leipold’s fault that the refs threw a BS flag on 4th and down and even though he flipped out on them, they still didn’t even things out?"   Lots of infighting over Leipold now.

"game is over….move past it. let’s win next week…get to 8-4 and then win our bowl game and finish 9-4. yes, it sucks to lose but damn…we couldn’t even win 2 games a few years ago. it’s awesome we are so pissed and mad about these losses. we are right there….have to clean up a few things but we are right there guys."   -  ljmhawk stays positive

"I hate those purple bastards."

"I’m not blaming the coaches in-game descisions for those plays. That’s on Borland and Snyder not identifying players that give us the best chance to win possibly. But that’s also really random fluke chit that the football gods just never let us live down and always bless Ksuck with"

"Taters better be ready for the next 15 years, this is their last win again is for a long time. Even just our 2nd string QB wins by two TD’s".   :comehere:

"Lost to a team that should be in the mountain west today. Our administration really screwed up by not focusing on football when whiny roy was here. If we had competent administration we would be long gone from this lower tier conference."

"Man this one hurts. I can see this team being really flat next week in cold and wet Cincinnati"

"Yea..after only 14 straight years of getting completly embarassed by the 'taters, KU finally manages a moral victory."

"Leipold on Postgame radio:

Really proud of our guys.

We had opportunities to win the game.

We had a chance to get a bigger lead and didn't capitalize.

Devin continues to make plays for us.

Cole played well for as young and inexperienced as he is. He handled the pressure well.

Austin really cranked it up in the second half.

After the first score, we settled in pretty well.

Special teams hurt us. Can't let those things happen.

We need to refocus. We have a chance to win nine games which hasn't happened here in a while."



"The entire program needs to circle that game next year, this was a critical game and we muffed it away. We have to end the streak to build a real program - it is hard to be a fan and show up when you cant beat your only rival for 15 years. We will be better at basically every spot next year, at some point the recruiting classes will matter. Should have been tonight."

"True, There’s a whole generation of KU fans who have never experienced that. No excuse for it."   On losing.   :frown:

"That game is in reality irrelevant. We secured an invitation to a crappy little bowl tonight. Makes no difference which one— Shreveport and Memphis are equally crappy. No one other then KU fans will even notice who wins those games.

That said, I agree that we could lose to Stinkcy. They’re dreadful, but we will be playing out the string, while it will be their senior night. Who cares what happens in that one? I sure don’t."   :frown:

"I won’t read this thread or probably ever come back to it but I need to vent and the people I’m with don’t care. I don’t remember ever being so crushed by a loss, it’s unreal how much this is affecting me. I’ll be seeing that dropped pick 6 and punt for a long time. It’s ******** unbelievable how many breaks went against us this game and we still should have won. It’s disgusting and I hate myself for it but this will be what I remember from this season forever. *****".   :eek:

"I love the direction of our program, but damn dude, this one gonna hurt for a while"

"KSU probably played their B- game at best and still beat KU's best team in 15 years on the road on Senior Night in the last game ever in Memorial Stadium. No gap was closed."

"Disappointed, but I'm happy knowing we have those purple cucks worried. They know we are coming."   :billdance:


Hope ya'll enjoyed this.  EMAW

Thank you fun muffin.

Looking back on the game with the commentary, I don’t think the Hawks were ready for the pressure of closing out that game with the lead. Some really bad mistakes were likely the difference maker.

Good game KU.

K-State shores some things up on D earlier in the game and avoids the utterly inexplicable Colin Kleiningham road game play calling segment (again) and that game is far far less dramatic, with K-State winning comfortably

It’s a fair concern but that’s also just football. We were clearly being conservative with running Howard in the beginning—I assume because we didn’t want the same thing happening to us.

I think KU won in discovering what Squawk Howard actually is. That kid is going to be their next Todd, as far as importance to the program. They better put a ring on it before he transfers.

Are those KU graudates?  If so, the strikingly limited vocabulary is disturbing to see from graduates one of our state's largest university.

I don't know who the middle guy is, but most online KU fans constantly dunk on Vernon and BryBry. BryBry's nickname on the Phog is Radio. You may know him from the time he live-streamed himself hopping a fence to gain illegal access to the tarmac when we hired Charlie Weis. He now denies he did that, but I and thousands of others witnessed it. They're both tools.

Not exactly surprising.  At this point the taste of our ass is more familiar to ku fans than a bowl of potato bacon soup from Quentins or a micro from Free State.

I didn't read the above gems because I always avoid the Gridiron Board after a loss. Happy that you guys get a sick kick out of it, though. To me, it's always the same. Blame the refs, blame the coaches, the other team is dirty, throw players under the bus, etc.

refs and the coaches "not caring" about the game are the leading narratives at this time.

Football coaches are generally low IQ guys. And that includes Lance Leipold.

Unbelievable. He plays a low talent frosh walk on over Jason Bean, a guy who is 10th in career QB stats at KU and has proven he can beat the likes of OU.

We deserved to lose with coaching decisions like that.

Your entertainment is my sadness. It makes me sad to see what I assume are, on average, 50-60 year-old men act like absolute babies on a message board. I'm sure the fact that they are representing my undergrad alma mater plays into that.

refs and the coaches "not caring" about the game are the leading narratives at this time.

The coaches absolutely cared. That's silly. They opened the entire playbook. It was like hearing Mozart for the first time. The great irony of it is that your punter had an absolutely horrible kick, which caused a muff, and then it was over.
