Kansas Jayhawks Look Impressive, Dispatch UTEP Miners 34-7

PrintWhat can you say? The defensive line played absolutely fantastic. One of the better performances I've ever seen a Kansas defensive line display. Just really, really impressive. The whole defense as a whole, really, was pretty awesome. That one long, 74-yard touchdown sucked in every way imaginable, and that was just awful defense. But take that play away, and we absolutely dominated an UTEP offense that is pretty good. Like, maybe even really good.
Our offense was kind of sketchy. Todd Reesing played a pretty poor game, maybe his worst in a Kansas uniform. Which says more about how awesome he has been, but still -- he looked off all night. Thankfully, we don't play 500 yards away from the Mexican border very often, so hopefully these games are few and far between.
Thankfully, the running game is worlds better than last years. And Toben Opurum is an absolute man-child.
This non-conference season wasn't perfect by any stretch. However, it's been excellent in limiting our fears. Coming into the season, the two biggest issues with Kansas were the pass rush and the running game. Both of those aspects have absolutely dominated, absolutely dominated, so far this season. So, if we can get the stuff we thought would be strengths (passing attack and secondary), we'll be absolutely golden, my friends.
Golden.

Nice first down. No matter what
this drive has been pretty impressive.

alot of stuff in the game and don’t enjoy it as much while being so active in the OGT’s. Must find solution before basketball season.

Definitely.
OGTs are the absolute shit. I love these things.
It’s fun to watch games completely, for sure. But I would miss OGTs too much. I love OGTs.
They made that look easy.
Barkley didn’t do much of anything on the drive, other than the sneaks, though.

Watched the game, some thoughts...
I thought the offense adjusted nicely to the delayed blitzes that UTEP was running…it looked like it was confusing Reesing at first but they adjusted well by running some inside passes and running the ball more.
The defensive line was sick…Vittatoe never had a chance.
The secondary looked pretty good on the few plays that they were challenged.
Overall defensively I was impressed with the team speed.
I think teams are really trying to take the pass away from us, so we may have to get used to a steady dose of Sharpurum.

Have some faith in your guys, dude.
Don’t just give away yards like that. In an entire football season, you’re probably only going to give up 2-3 kicks for TDs at the VERY MOST. In an entire season, your defense is probably going to give up 35 yards more often than 50 yards, right?

I get that they don't want to give up the big play.
But if that’s the theory, why not do it every kick? How the hell can those 15 yards be LESS valuable when it matters MOST?

I can kind of see it when the key is to not give up a TD.
But when they just need a FG to tie it, it doesn’t make any sense at all. It’s giving away free field position.
WOW.
Ohio State is really blowing this one. Taking too much time, running away from the sideline… Way to blow it.

I honestly believe that this team
Has the potential to be better than the 07 team. There could possibly be 3+ 1000 yard receivers. 1 1000 yard runner, with a very solid backup. A better quarter back. A great D-Line. A decent defense lead by a couple monster safeties.

Yeah, Actually if they win the north and are 10-2, they'll still have a good shot.
Especially if someone in the South slips. OSU isn’t getting in now, IMO, and maybe OU will again. Really we need texas to run the table and get into the title game undefeated (unless its us who beat them) and us to win the north. Then we got a great shot for that other Big12 BCS slot.

Different little brothers, idiot.
Keep the hell up.
Pickle little brother is 15. A sophomore in high school.
Paremsan cheese little brother is 8. In 3rd grade.
Pickle one hates sports, and runs Cross Country. He’s all right — averageish.
Second one is just like me, where he likes playing sports but likes watching/talking about them even more. He is a HUGE Yankees fan (could name you all 25 players on the roster, I’m almost positive, which for an 8-year old is pretty impressive) and a USC fan. He is fans of those schools because the rest of my family hates those schools, and he’s the youngest of 4 boys, so he’s naturally rebellious. I’m already introducing him to sabermetrics. He knows about wOBA and FIP and tRA and all of that shit. I’m so proud. He is a REALLY good baseball player, which is his favorite sport without a doubt.
See the difference?

Parmesan cheese? Are you fucking serious?
I don’t know. That sounds pretty fucking disgusting. If you’re paying, I’ll eat it.
I’ll have to try it out sometime. I’m not a huge Parmesan cheese fan, but I trust you.
I’ll get it next time.
Yeah I usually just use that on pasta
I know it sounds wild, but somehow it really goes well with the chicken. But if you’re a n00b, just rock oven roasted chicken breast and cheese of your choice (I rock provolone) which will be heated up in the oven but don’t toast the rest. Then the bread is nice and soft and warmed from the chicken, but not crusty or whatever. Its sooooooo good. Lettuce, some other vedgie. All ya need. If you want to sauce it you can, I use the extra cheese rather than sauce. So I dunno, I feel the sauce would be weird with chicken like that. But what do I know.
I love deep, critical thought into subway subs.

No, I believe you.
I was just making sure you weren’t some paremsan cheese fiend, like my little brother, who will eat it on a bunch of shit.
Actually, something that is REALLY good is a cheese quesadilla with paremsan cheese. It’s fucking delicious. Obviously, you have to have the base cheese anyways, and then just add some paremsan on top. Fucking delicious.
So, I want to make sure I get it entirely correct. Here is how I would order it:
- roasted chicken
- provolone (idc what cheese)
- heated up in the oven? how does that work? and not toasted? please explain!
- lettuce
- cucumber/tomato (would those work…they are my go-to veggies, even though tomato is a fruit)
- the extra shredded cheese?
- paremsan cheese?
also, does anyone ever look at you like you’re an idiot?
This is how I kick it
Order the sandwhich on wheat (or whatever but I think wheat is best). When they ask if you want it toasted, say no. They don’t toast the bread but they always heat the meat and cheese (hence “oven roasted chicken breast”). Then they put the heated up chicken and cheese on the bread, ask for veggies. Just say I want lettuce, whatever else, and parmesan cheese. BAM. You are good.

Why do you have to say such hurtful things?
I merely explained that the meat and cheese is automatically heated in the toaster oven if you don’t get the sandwich toasted. Last time I help your ass find the most amazing grub ever

My latest trend is I try and do 100 pushups every day. My arms have gotten nice and firm, big triceps and biceps, but running would shed a good amount of fat on me that needs to hit the ol dusty trail…

I hate working out.
Just fucking hate it. I just prefer to get my exercise by doing shit than making a conscious effort to take care of my body or anything. I just see at as added bonus.

Yeah I agree
In high school apart from sports, in the summer I lifeguarded. Without really knowing, I was outside all day swimming, walking around, sweating, and not eating much because of the heat taking away my appetite. Before I knew it the summer before college I dumped like 20 pounds and was down to like 155. It was gross yet sweet.
Now I’m like 185 haha. Gdarn beer!

I don't work out.
Ever.
Because of this, my muscle mass is quite weak. My nickname back in Cali was ‘stick’, if that gives you an indication.
But I play basketball for 1-2 hours a day, and run 3ish miles occasionally. So I’m in pretty good shape.
I can’t stand working out at all. I just hate it. It just seems so pointless. Why not go play basketball, instead?
TRUF.
Basketball is my favorite sport to play. Mostly because all the others require other people to have any fun (lollllllll).

Yeah I would rather play hoops than work out anyday
Problem is now that I’m back in OP, I don’t know anyone to play with nor do I belong to a gym where I could get in on some pickup games. Sad, in college my friends and I would play pickup football and bball all the time, it was fun and a good workout because we’d play for hours (and play hard. Shits about respect son)

See, that's been the most underrated part of college for me.
There is a kickass gym that is free to all students at Xavier. In it, there is a basketball court which has three courts, all that fake fullcourt length or whatever. It isn’t a full 94 feet, but it’s the standard 3/4 court or whatever you see all of the time in pickup games and such. So, yeah, there are three of them. And every day, from 4 to closing (11 through the week, 7 on Friday, Saturday and Sunday), there are non-stop basketball games. Sometimes there’s just one, sometimes all three courts are taken up. But basically, you play whenever the fuck you want.
It is so fucking fun it’s ridiculous. It’s bracketed into my daily schedule.
Yeah a buddy of mine and I did that at KU
KU’s rec got expanded my senior year. 7 bball courts and a new indoor soccer court. It was cool. And funny to see the international students playing pickup soccer

Oh shit.
And yeah, that would be insane.
There are some serious ballers at X. I’m okay, nothing great (only played HS ball freshman year), and was pretty bad even then. However, I have a pretty good shot, now, and like to think I’m not bad. I can drain it from up to 25 feetish away from the basket. I’ve got serious range. Maybe even 30 feet.
I can't shoot I'm a slasher
Thanks to high school, I’m more aggressive, angry, and bloodthirsty than most players. So I foul, knock people around down low, drive in the lane full speed, charge people. I’m the goon the Temple Coach would would put in.

I got yelled at the other day for playing too tough of D.

I never played tackle football.
Not once.
I played QB in Flag Football for about 3-4 years, but never once played tackle. It was partly because I was always moving, and there were different age levels where you started different places, and partly because I didn’t really like all of that content (basketball is the perfect mixture of finesse and physical play — it’s the greatest sport of all time, with football a close second), and plus I always wanted to play QB, and my hands are the size of someone who is like 5’6", so that wasn’t happening.
But, yeah.
I played tackle
in high school, and tennis in the spring. I had to quite football towards the end of my junior year though because I seperated my shoulder, and I focused on tennis after that to try and get a scholarship to a small school (wouldn’t go, just wanted to have one haha). Football was fun 20 percent of the time, brutal the rest. I was also the kicker, and that just sucks. I cried after missing a game winner in a JV game…
