Re: nobody messes with the silver helmet!

I'm good with holding on to tradition. I also don't think it's sacrilegious to occasionally try something fun.

Re: KU Rendering

With a construction background, what I see in this rendering looks to be quite a bit more than the $350M they're saying. In order to get Memorial into a multi-bowl level like this shows, you're talking about a significant demolition project and that structure is sooo old, that the Lead-Based Paint a...

Re: athlon loves them squawks ...

Recruiting improvement today won't impact their season in 2023. I still see a team that has a stout Illini defense coming at them week 2, has to travel to Reno to play Nevada (which they should win if they really are improving) before the open up Big 12 play. I'm not an expert on any of the teams in...

Re: PAC-12 Will Likely Implode by 2024, with Colorado Leading the Way in an Exodus to the Big 12

I'm just really hesitant for Colorado to come back into our conference. I thought they provided very very little when they were in the Big 12, have done almost nothing since they left the Big 12 and now want to prop up a high risk/high reward Coach Sanders by getting back in the Big 12. I'd really l...

Re: Althon’s preseason Big 12 predictions

I'm not saying KU is going to be a disaster, but, I think they've benefitted from an offensive scheme that makes them look better than they are. I'll be curious to see how the rest of the conference adjusts to it after getting a couple seasons of game tape to work from. I wouldn't be surprised to se...

Re: Joel Klatt on college football....

I can't help but feel like John Nash's Theory (or at least the movie version of it in A Beautiful Mind) applies to the Big 12 now. None of the schools are the traditional bluebloods that have much reason to think overly high of themselves and therefore the conference is in a pretty good position for...

Re: athlon loves them squawks ...

Sounds about right. Like I said in another thread, KU is definitely going to have Jalon Daniels win the Heisman and they’re likely to win the conference and be a high seed in the CFB Playoff. We should just be grateful that our guys don’t have to share jock straps.

Re: cbs ranks power five coaches 69-26 ...

I don't want to turn this into a KU thing, but I just don't get all the praise for Lance Leipold. I think he's doing a good job and the fact that he didn't come in to KU until May of 2021 definitely reflects that, but, they are still 8-17. They lost their QB in game six (6) last year and proceeded t...

Re: 2023 Draft - K-Stater's Drafted/Signed

I know the rookie contracts are somewhat pre-determined with the CBA, but, I'm surprised the last pick in the first round is only $11.818M. I would have thought it to be higher.
