PrintWell, that was fun. I doubt anybody was ever really worried, or anything, but still -- it was out of hand early, and we continued to pile on throughout the evening.
- Jake Laptad had a big night. A couple of sacks, and in the UNoCo's backfield all night. We need consistent pressure like that from him all season long.
- Most importantly, our running game was outstanding. Obviously, it's against a poor 1-AA team (maybe even a terrible one), but still. We destroyed them from the get-go. Especially on outside runs. We need to have a better running game than we did last year, and tonight was a great start.
- For a negative little bit, the corners opposite Daymond Patterson did not look good. From the looks of it, DP was ignored, but that's probably because the other side wasn't hot. Anthony Davis picked up a bunch of penalties, and that's never good. And then, Calvin Rubles came in on the act and picked up a pair of penalties. They need to pick up their game, because I don't know if you've noticed, but teams in the Big 12 like to pass. A lot. So, yeah, that needs to improve.

guh,
your first. But please don’t bring that here.
Bama with a big play and fumble. VaTech with the ball!
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Haha.
I was trying to be humourously hardass-ish.
I’d rather it not show up, but I really don’t care.
So, let's see a show of hands.
Who wants Va Tech and who wants Alabama?
If anyone wants Bama, I swear…
I want somebody to beat Florida.
If Bama losing makes it more likely they can be underestimated and beat the Gators and Tebow-Jesus, then I’m all for that.

Many think Notre Dame is making a BCS bowl this season?
What the hell?
Did you poll Lou Holtz and Charlie Weis for that information?
They did look good today. Granted, it was Nevada, but they looked good.
Insanity is just a state of mind.

Yes they did.
They looked really good. As did Michigan.
All of a sudden, Michigan-Notre Dame looks really good yet again.
Yup. They are my pick for BCS busters, so I’m hoping they dominate.
Insanity is just a state of mind.

If Va Tech wins, my day is complete.
A really, really good day of CFB overall, I thought. No real Instant Classics, or anything, but plenty of good ones.
And there it is!
PACLIFE FTW!!!!
Go USA!
2-1 over El Salvador, would’ve been 3-1 if not for a terrible ref. Next game is against T&T on Weds. They looked good tonight.
Oh yeah, Kansas did pretty well tonight, too. Now watching Jahvid Best run all over Maryland.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Washington is already up 7-0 on LSU.
Let’s get the SEC plenty of early losses.
Yes yes yes yes yes.
It isn’t really happening, but if it did it would make my day.
I keep on forgetting the late ones. I’m so used to all of the games being over around midnight, it’s freaking me out that there is still almost an entire game.
Soren Petro of 810 WHB
has a betting expert on once a week, and he loved Washington in that game. It’s such a long way away from Baton Rouge and the late start time may really mess with LSU.

So, Duke lost at home to Richmond.
Ouch. If we lose to them, that’s just really embarrassing.
That just became a must-win.
They're going to be tough.

Shocking -- Cal is kicking ass.
That surprises no one.
I am going to watch the rest of this, then switch back and forth between LSU-Wash and Maryland-Cal. Hopefully LSU-Wash is a good game, because the other one certainly won’t be.
At least, not likely.
Quick Poll:
Kenny Chesney song is:
A. Awesome
B. Worse than Big and Rich was (and that’s damn near impossible)
C. like soccer (that’s for KC)
He can get 4, NOT 5.
meh -
I get it, I watch it when it’s on, I used to love going to Comets games as a kid, but there are better sports out there.
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
Also, UTEP is losing at home to a wildly overrated
Buffalo team.
Our non-con might not be that strong at all. Southern Miss is still dangerous as hell, but the other two should be easy-ish victories. If not, it’s probably time to worry.
I hate those commercials....
The Favre one sounds like he’s saying “Uncomfortable in jeans…uncomfortable in Wrangler”
I'm flipping between that and LSU-Wash
so I’m missing most of the commercials. Junior isn’t exactly a great commercial spokesman anymore, what with the non-performance in neckcar stuff.

Dammit.
The Big 12 > SEC campaign was alive and kicking just two hours ago, but Oklahoma’s loss (ESSS EEEE SEEE idiots won’t care that Bradford got hurt) and Alabama’s comeback win ruins all of that.
I’m so pissed.
Yeah, Bama's looking good right now.
Once again, for OU it is called Karma. Why would they open up in Texas against BYU?
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Oh, and if anybody here is a Chiefs fan.
The Chiefs cut Bernard Pollard today. LIke, probably their best player last season on defense.
I’m giving Pioli and Haley the benefit of the doubt and at least watching some real-live regular season games. I’ll give them two whole seasons, even.
But it sure strikes me as a stupid move. Just an awful move. But hey, maybe I’m wrong.
Not a Chiefs fan, so I know very little about the situation.
Is he expensive this year? Are they scared he’ll take out their qb during practice?
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Haha.
Well, price has nothing to do about anything.
We are like $45 million under cap.
I’m assuming it is an attitude thing. Pioli and Haley think and act like they are the absolute shit, so they better be or they are really screwed.
They are acting like Cleveland Belicheck. So is McDaniel in Denver. If you win, being a total asshole is fine. If you lose, it’s the easiest way to get kicked out.
Must be contagious at Truman Sports Complex.
Pioli and Haley think and act like they are the absolute shit, so they better be or they are really screwed.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Yeah.
The difference is they have MUCH better pedigrees than Japanese manager only Trey Hillman and “the Braves won a bunch in the 90’s but I didn’t join the org. until 200x” Dayton Moore.
So, I am definitely willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. And if they know what they are doing, I’m down for it. I don’t really care. Go for it.
But if you’re wrong, and do stuff like this, it doesn’t end well.
Wow
that is a surprise to me. He was, at least statistically, one of the best safeties in the league last year. Somebody’s gonna pick him up and get a stud.
Definitely agree.
It’s gotta be attitude. I don’t know why we didn’t just trade him, though, in that case.
the trade would have made sense.
Somebody surely would have given up something for him.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Yeah
He apparently got in some sort of argument with Pendergast (Chiefs’ DC). Plus Pioli and Haley want Brown to start. I haven’t really seen anything out of Brown during the preseason that made me say ‘whoa, we need to start him in front of Pollard’ but I’ll give Pioli/Haley the benefit of the doubt for now.
Thanks for the info.
Also, this:
I haven’t really seen anything out of Brown during the preseason that made me say ‘whoa, we need to start him in front of Pollard’ but I’ll give Pioli/Haley the benefit of the doubt for now.
That’s exactly my thought process. I entirely disagree with the move, but I’m willing to give Pioli/Haley the benefit of the doubt. It won’t be pretty, though, if it blows up in their faces, because nearly everyone (excluding the absolute homers and suck-ups who think everything that happens is good) is against the move as of right now.
Zach Thomas and Ashley Lelie were also cut, huh?
That doesn’t seem like much of a shock.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
Not really.
Everything was pretty standard, except keeping 4 QB’s and cutting Pollard.
I mean, everyone probably had their own little favorite players, but with those decisions you usually have to trust them, because they see so much more of them.
On the odd side, Chase Daniel was cut today
and the cute blonde chick on FSC asked Don Fambrough what he thought about it. He struggled to keep from bursting into maniacal laughter.
by hunter s. royal on Sep 5, 2009 10:20 PM CDT up reply actions
Haha.
He is so anti-Missouri, it’s hilarious.
Daniel being cut isn’t surprising.
What is funny, though, is I was in a room of like 15 people when the somebody said it. Four different people called him Chase Daniels. It is like IMPOSSIBLE for them to realize there isn’t an “s” on the end.
It is hilarious.
I had to check it myself by googling it first.
It just seems like there should be an s on it.

OT: By the way, for those of you here.
I am definitely planning on doing a Big 12-wide, with a hint on CFB-wide, recap sometime tomorrow morning.
It might be late, because I like sleeping in, but it should definitely show up. Along with postgame content. Just a heads up.
You're in college now,
sleeping in is acceptable. Especially since you’re not sleeping in on the west coast.
Hell, I rarely got out of bed before 11 on the weekends in college.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
well, I'm old now and can barely sleep past 7 am.
So I might bitch, but I’ll keep everyone else in line.

I'm an adult
and I didn’t get outta bed until 2 this afternoon. But I am known as a prodigious sleeper.

i was at the game
and i wasn’t as impressed, especially with the offense. i know briscoe was out but still the passing game didn’t look that sharp..reesing was running for his life a lot of the time…the run game did look great…the secondary better get things figured out quick b/c they looked terrible.

by Home Run Tony Cogan on Sep 5, 2009 10:29 PM CDT reply actions
I didn't see anything.
Like I said, so that was just based off of play-by-play action.
How much of Reesing scrambling was him holding on to the ball, and how much was lack of protection?
I think he held the ball a lot
due to the receivers being covered (again, Briscoe) and there were times when the pass-blocking was very good…i’ll call it spotty. still, we were running the ball at will and probably could have had 400 yards rushing if we wanted to.

Okay.
Thanks for the info.
Yeah, I figured it had something to do with Todd Reesing holding on to the ball, because Todd loves to do that stuff. From the looks of it, Jonathan Wilson didn’t appear to have a very good game. We have a lot of young talent, so hopefully they can learn how to get open. That isn’t a good sign.
Of course, Briscoe will help, obviously.
Interesting to hear from someone who was there.
I only caught the game on TV, and the picture wasn’t the best. Don’t know if the lighting is subpar at the stadium, or FSC just was cheap technically, but they had a lot of long range shots and weren’t that great with the replays.
by hunter s. royal on Sep 5, 2009 10:33 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, the feed was pretty crappy
I’m not sure if the new field is darker, but everything looked dark on the TV.
From some poster on KUSports:
“Not sure we will beat cu, ksu, mu, or Neb this year. The D has to improve.”
Uhhhhhhhh…..really….they put K-State on the list….wtf…..they barely beat U-Mass…It’s the first game of the season….our guys have been hitting each other throughout training…takes a game or two to get things together….good lord people
Wow. Where do you even start?

Yeah.
I think people are just overreacting.
We didn’t look perfect, or anything. Both Missouri and Nebraska looked better.
But we still looked pretty damn good. And we didn’t have Briscoe.
I couldn’t agree more with what you say, though. K-State is a joke even being on the list, but as for @ CU and vs. Nebraska — it isn’t like they are guarantees, but we should still be favored in both.
I understand those games being on there
but yeah….just K-State….it just seems like everyone over there is usually lost when it comes to things or they overreact
Exactly.
People are used to basketball, though, where if we aren’t absolutely incredible people get in panic attacks.
Every fanbase has ridiculous bandwagoners, and Kansas certainly isn’t an exception. Some Kansas fans I just really don’t like.
We have a good football team this year. It won’t be perfect, and we’ll probably lose a couple of games (not guaranteed, though…), but we should still be pretty good.
Because KU is a basketball school!

You set that one up. Almost had to do it on purpose.

No joke
Like most of the girls that were around me at the football games last year whining if the other team got a 3 yard gain…..against Texas…..
Haha yeah....
The Tech game was especially annoying but they left pretty early….way to support the team…would have put that last part in the sarcasm font but i have no idea how lol
type a "<" and the code and then close it with ">"
so < code >

no spaces between the <code

Just put “< code >” and then whatever you want to say and then “< / code>”. and it should work.
Okay, there goes the Va Tech win down the drain.
What about a maybe Washington perhaps victory potentially?
random baseball note.
former KU reliever Paul Smyth has started his pro career with 33 scoreless innings in a row, with 41 strikeouts

www.olympicsportsblog.wordpress.com
That is awesome.
For the A’s, right?
That really is pretty cool, though. I’ve been meaning to do a wrap-up post. Maybe I will, now that the MiLb seasons are over.
We'll get that 4,000 eventually.
570ish isn’t bad for a game that is on limited TV against Northern Colorado at home.
Next week, I’m expecting something like 1500. Maybe it’s too much, but if we’re running short, I can start separating my comments into a single word, forming sentences over stretches.
Plus, if you combine the 570 for the morning/afternoon thread
and then this postgame thread which should go on for awhile longer, we could probably get something like 1300ish tonight.
Just read the game thread
over at Royals Review. Needed extra innings to get over 200 comments with Zack pitching.
Dayton Moore is generating huge interest with his clever public relations!
It does help we have a good team to follow.

I know, it's sad.
In April, there were regularly games that would get like 1400 comments.
Now, the place is almost dead, too. I’d imagine RR is getting less hits, now.
I bet the hits look like the stock market from the last three years

Good analogy.
It’s a great site for info, but it will be tough sledding for the rest of the year. Maybe we can rescue a few desperate souls by offering them an oasis from the gloom over there.

Washington at least looks like a college football team this year.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
This is definitely true.
Amazing what happens when the Herm Edwards of college football isn’t coaching you anymore.
Sarkisian is a good coach, though.
not surprised.
Maryland is ACC.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
and just like that-
44-6
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
So, for those of you with a TV
can you approximate the crowd at the end? Or, even better, people who were at the game.
I’d love to know just how many people stuck it out.
I’d imagine the numbers were brutal.
They did not show many crowd shots in the 2nd half
so it’s hard to guesstimate. The place looked fired up in the first half though.

That's about right.
By the fourth quarter the crowd looked like a KU v Ball St matchup from the late 90’s
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
see all my previous comments
about KU fans being terrible football fans…that MUST change.
Michelle Malkin, Sarah Palin, Anne Coulter, Michelle Bachman, Elizabeth Hasslebeck...where do all these moderately attractive and immensely silly women come from?
Definitely.
Obviously, we mean the majority. There are definitely a solid group that are really good fans.
Maybe they are just used to spending 2 hours at sporting events?
We are definitely a basketball school.
You admit it, finally.
I honestly think the gap has to be shown to fans that it is closer than in the past. If OU/Texas can still beat KU by 30, fans won’t buy in.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
You are probably right.
If we go 6-0, which is entirely possible, then the KU-OU game should be an interesting barometer.
We don’t necessarily have to win, we just can’t afford to be absolutely blown out like against Tech and, to a lesser extent, Texas last season.
I think we do win, though. I’m gulping the Kool-Aid right now.
Dayum.
Everyone watching LSU-Wash see that ACC stat?
Holy hell.
Went 5-4 so far, with only one win (one!) coming against a Divison 1-A team. And that was Clemson’s win over Middle Tennessee State.
Duke lost to Richmond at home.
Virginia lost to William and Mary at home.
Maryland is getting their shit destroyed at Cal.
Wake Forest lost at home to Baylor, who while underrated and good, is probably like the 8th best team in the Big 12 AT BEST.
And then Va Tech lost.
They better get their
“Basketball School” lines ready. That was a pathetic showing by them today.
by hunter s. royal on Sep 5, 2009 11:31 PM CDT up reply actions
Holy shit.
UTEP was losing 14-23 just like 3 minutes ago, but now UTEP is just down 23-17 with 7 seconds left.
They have the ball.
UTEP loses.
Absolutely brutal day for our non-con. That’s too bad, too.
Just not good at all. Now, even though it wasn’t a bad one schedule wise, we will see major shit for it.
Ah, well. As long as we win all of the games, I could care less.
I honestly don't give a shit about the "weak schedule" stuff.
If you play in the Big 12, why schedule top flight opponents outside of the conference? You’re already facing (especially this year) a schedule as tough as any in the nation.
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
I can see both sides.
I also want to see us at least play some decent people. But I do agree, though, that you shouldn’t try and schedule Goliath and Hercules just to earn respect.
They won big agaisnt some shitty team.
No, I think they definitely qualify.
I thought Duke would, too, but today wasn’t really a good start.
Yeah they could have used Paulus lol
But I think of it like this….Richmond won the FCS last year (i think but idk) so they can’t be that terrible…I mean Iowa is ranked and they should have lost to UNI…but im retarded so idk
The BCS won't reward KU for playing any of them if they win the Big 12 championship
undefeated.
Therefore, why schedule a tough game in non-con?
I used to work with an old man that told me. Son, every workplace has a dumbass, if you don't have one where you work, then I'm afraid you're it.
Washington is still in it.
I’ll admit, it hasn’t been a terrible nightcap. At least semi-interesting.
I have been watching football for 13 hours straight, now.
Damn.
That’s really sad, and shows I have a serious problem, but still.
College football is back, baby. That’s all that matters.
go find a co-ed
and go to bed.
