Looks like everyone is picking Kansas ST. to drill KU. I guess I am right a long with them, only 49-14 another blowout like last year. Bill will teach turner how to play football again.

Bill Snyder is a God living right here on Earth! He's living in the 17th dimension, moving players around with his mind. He moves his offensive players into open space. Your coaching staff prefers to run your players into 5 defenders, LMAO! On defense Bill Snyder prefers to have all defensive players accounted for. On defense your coaching staff prefers to have such a complex gameplan that at least three offensive players run free, LOL! This will be a terrible explosive combination for you Chickenhawks this weekend! Since your players dont even try in the second half this year, it will be much much much uglier than 59-7 tomorrow, LMAO!
What will KU's halftime adjustments be? "Since Snyder had only 15 guys stacked in the box like an iron curtain and we're only losing 49-0, let's run it up the middle 3rd AND 4th quarter!"
Can't wait to see Bill Snyder make your coaching staff look like a bunch of tools!
Can't wait to see your players on Oxygen!
Can't wait to see your players out of position!
Can't wait to see YOUR entire stadium full of LOUD PURPLE FANS!
CAN't wait for Saturday!
EMAW!

Your a sad, sad, pathetic man. Get some class.
cuellarku 1 year, 6 months ago
Snyder's pretty good, but KSU's football fans are tools. EMAW's the stupidest thing I've ever heard of. I hope we break Arthur Brown's leg, ya jerk.

Bill Snyder is NOT a God.
But he IS so old that when God said
"Let there be light"
Bill flipped the switch.

In the words of Bart Scott from the New York Jets, "can't wait!"

Kansas 38 Kansas State 28 (If Turner Gill learns that he has to make adjustments during a game). The game plan doesn't have to change completely, but if you want to use running backs you don't have to hand them the ball every time.
Shovel Passes. Screen Plays (Middle, Flat, Outlets) Hot Reads Tight End Leak out Pass plays (fake a block and leak out for a pass) Tim Biere is very good at this
Hook and Lateral(Hmm, that worked with John Randall) Christian Matthews throwing the ball out of the wildcat? He was recruited as a QB, by the way. Maybe bringing in a McDougald for an offensive play or too at least as a decoy. We did that with Charles Gordon and Aqib Talib.
These kids are capable Turner Gill. I'm holding out on if you are capable. I was quite excited when you first hired, and I was very wrong about that. Turner Gill, WIN THIS GAME! This a huge game for recruiting! This is a huge game for the University of Kansas. WIN THIS GAME, whatever you have to do personnel wise, WIN THIS GAME. Audible out of running plays to a screen pass if they show blitz. Jordan Webb is smart enough and good enough.

I do not agree with Jesse. This will not be a blow out. If Webb is on, we win.
texashawk10 1 year, 7 months ago
KSU 38 KU 34
Jordan Webb throws a pick very late and KSU steals another win this year making it 5 out 7 win that are come from behind.
OSU 52 MU 27
OSU rolls Missouri.
Illinois 45 Purdue 21
Purdue still isn't that good and Illinois will be playing angry
Wisconsin 48 MSU 24
Wisconsin keeps on rolling
Penn St. 34 Northwestern 7
JoePa's got another one of those teams with a great defense but very little offense.
Favorite commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksTnfz...
jhawkrulz 1 year, 7 months ago
I've always said this is a very winnable game, but KSU has been outlasting teams and KU hasn't been finishing games (and in some cases OSU not even starting the game). All that being said is KU hangs in until adjustments are made, knowing that HCTG doesn't make ingame adjustments, KU loses.
I was surprised to see some people having OSU only scoring like 20-something points and on top of that Missouri winning in some cases. If MU wins it will be because they outscore OSU, not because of the defense.
the rest of the games are Big 10 games and I don't know why we would be picking those games.
Although I think there are some great commercials, some that have been funny lately are: The one where the guy smashes the other guys cellphone with a picture of a taratula on it, makes me laugh everytime. The new one will the VW car and the two guys are going on a roadtrip and the guy didn't bring any music, but has a spanish language learning tape...at the end they are yelling at each other in Spanish...again makes me laugh.
An old timer - Love the MJ/Bird original Horse for MickeyD Fries.
If you are talking about ESPN, the one in 3D, where they break the 3D camera, is awesome, at least in 3D.

Based on TK's video last week, the commercial this week, and recent sports takes I think his cable carrier has switched channels. Replacing espn with lifetime!
baldjedi 1 year, 6 months ago
Lifetime channel? I would say I could use a good cry while watching tv but the last few KU games have taken care of that....
jayhawkcole 1 year, 6 months ago
KU will win. the stats point towards it. final score? 28-27 KU
texashawk10 1 year, 6 months ago
I feel like quoting Joe College shirts right now (I miss them).
I'd rather drop out of school in Lawrence than graduate from that sh*thole in Manhattan. The only sign of intelligent life in Manhattan, KS: Lawrence, 87 miles If your kid goes to KSU, don't worry you can always get another one. I had a nightmare I was a Wildcat. (Not Joe College, but could be if they were still in business): It could be worse, we could have EcoKat for a mascot!
I really enjoyed this too: http://www.wittmania.com/photoshop-contest-ecokat-throughout-history/

texashawk - I'm being serious - I hope you include that link on every post from now on .
It's the funniest thing ever. I almost feel sorry for K-State.
or NOT.
Hammertoe 1 year, 6 months ago
Hey Tex, your football team is ranked dead last in D1 Football. To quote the other Coach named Bill (self) , football is driving the bus in college athletics. Did you know K-State went 13-1 against KU in athletics last year? KU is a basketball school only that is preparing for a long season in that sport. K-State has record enrollment the last 3 years while KU's enrollment has declined the last 3 years. Why is that? The most popular college choice for 2010 Kansas high school grad's--- K-State! Jealousy is an ugly emotion....
texashawk10 1 year, 6 months ago
Jealously...Just remember that you're the one continuously posts on a website dedicated to KU sports. You're embarrassing EcoKat by polluting KUSports.com with your unoriginality.
EMAW: Effeminate Men Are Wildcats!
danmoore 1 year, 6 months ago
What's with all the big10 games? Might as well include Conference USA.
njjayhawk 1 year, 6 months ago
Sorry to say, but KU will tommorrow look like a crossdresser trying to put on a bra for the first time.
nuleafjhawk 1 year, 6 months ago
And you would know this * HOW * ???
nuleafjhawk 1 year, 6 months ago
Hamhocktoe - is there a remote possibility that any of you purple princesses could come up with something original?
The 13-1 thing and the donkey noises (emaw, emaw) are getting a tad old. You know it's bad when it sounds stupid even coming from K-Staters.
I'm guessing you're about 9 years old, or you would know that K-State just about administered the lethal injection to the so-called football program before Moses took over. They were dead last, in offense, defense, special teams, mascots, cheerleaders, facilities, and concessions for about 100 years before that.
Now you're dead last in intelligent, witty fans.
