Grats to TTU. Go win it all.

Look for a nuclear South Korea and Japan in the near future. Our nukes prevented allies from developing their own since they trusted us to use them in their defense, if necessary; however, we have now become an undependable ally. Decades of relationships being torn down in less than two years based on the whims of one person. Nukes guarantee you can make any conflict no win for the other side, even if they are much stronger than you, and regardless of alliances. It's the reason NK was never going to give them up. Maybe a few Euro countries look at the option as well.

It's the first time "amazing 10 inch" has ever been used in connection with Trump.

When you marry a woman who has had a lot of plastic surgery, you never know what kind of hobgoblins you will sire.

This did not age well.

I think Kansas could tell Texas and Florida to hold our beer if we were the same population size. EMAW! I shudder to think of what Oklahoma or Alabama could do.

They should build the wall out of Hilary's emails. Many people seem to have a hard time getting over them.

No weak stream! No weak stream! You have the weak stream!

Well to be fair to Trump, it did not have colored stickies everywhere he needed to sign. How is he going to figure it out without stickies? DO SOMETHING!

Only hire announced so far. Not sure who he will retain, if any, from the previous staff; however, most seem to think Hull has been offered to be retained, but might be weighing other offers. He was the one pulling guys out of LA and was the RB coach.

I like this a lot. MAC recruiter of the year in 2017. Pulled four 3 stars from GA in 2017 (8 total from GA) to Ball State . Might give us a new territory to recruit in (GA). He also played at LSU when Pelini was the DC there.

The best part about being with Ivanka is you know you can measure up to her father.

You blast Osborne for being a hypocritical Christian and then defend Baylor and Briles? Fuck Baylor and fuck Briles and their rape enabling ways. Yeah Briles did not pretend to be something he is not ... like a good Christian. Not hypocritical at all. Not a ton proven? Multiple players convicted of rape, a high number of women paid off to avoid going to court and having lawyers crawl up Baylor's ass with a microscope. Starr and Briles forced out. The university intentionally limited what PH could investigate then only wanted a verbal report and a short summary, not a full written report, because they knew if it got out they would be fucked in court. Baylor refusing to be transparent and hiding behind their status as a private university to avoid disclosing things that a public university would have to. The scandal was probably worse than we think because Baylor did everything they could to cover it up and then limit the damage when it got out. Are you a BU grad?

She is doing just enough to stay in the will.

Nice to wake up to this news in Asia. Surprised that we got him for that amount per year. I assumed $4-5M. Means we will be able to more easily afford bigger name coordinators. I assume there will be heavy incentives included. Really interested to see what he can do with recruiting this class as we have 1 recruit right now. Hiring him is a win; hiring him at that annual salary is amazing.

Senate will flip in 2020. Democrats had to defend 24 seats versus 9 for the Republicans in the mid-terms. Two independents, who vote with Democrats mostly, also had to defend. Next time Republicans will do the majority of the defending of senate seats. It won't be pretty.

KU overachieved my expectations this year, but Beaty sold out the next couple years to get in JUCO guys to try to save his job this season. Glad they let him go. Recruiting is a mess right now. It was a gamble taking a position coach as a HC who would learn on the job. A gamble that failed spectacularly. They hoped if he failed he would still recruit well enough that KU would have full roster and some talent when he was let go. Instead with the last 2 years of JUCO heavy classes and transfers out, we are only slightly better off than when Weis was fired. I think we can only offer 15 or so scholarships this year. I think KU will pay enough to at least talk to some good coaches. KU paid $2.5M to Gill and Weis which was top 20ish at the time. I think KU will pay $4-5M+ to the right coach. Making Long one of the highest paid ADs in the country shows KU is willing to pay to get things fixed with FB. Fixed for KU would be to win 5-7 games consistently (be in the hunt for a bowl game most years) and not be an easy win for the middle of the conference. Maybe an outlier year like 1995 or 2007 every decade or so. See Mangino, Mason, and Gottfried. Problem is KU never follows those coaches with one who can maintain competitiveness; therefore, KU is always trying to rebuild the FB program. KU needs someone who knows how to run a successful program to set a solid foundation for the program going forward. Even a coach with only 4-5 years left would be a successful hire if they can manage that. Like Jhawk, I'd like to bring an option offense like GT or the service academies. We are behind the eight ball on recruiting being in a small state that we share with another P5 program. A running based offense would allow us to recruit guys with flaws who could excel in a running offense. It would also be hard to prepare for and players that excel versus pass oriented attacks often struggle with smash mouth. In the end though, bringing in the right coach is more important than the offense he decides to run.

Beaty mettles constantly with the offense and doesn't let the OC just run things and call plays that best suit our personnel. He might as well take over since he interferes so much. Carter Stanley has been the best QB on the roster for 3 years and Beaty seems to hate him. He is the opposite of a QB whisperer. Former QBs Cozart (BSU) and Willis (VT) have both done well since they left KU. I assume Stanley will grad transfer after this year and do well somewhere else. Beaty also loves the air raid and doesn't run the ball enough. Our OL has been a mess pretty much for 4 years and this OL group is new as well; our RBs have been the most talented group on the team, IMO, for the last few years. However, Beaty would rather pass than run, even though running is easier for a less talented, cohesive OL unit to do and that is where our talent lies (RB). It would also keep our defense off the field a little longer and shorten games. Can't wait for the day he is let go.

The merits of Rice or Kansas or West Tennessee Tech to other conferences should be in the realignment thread. This thread is for how hopeless Kansas FB currently is and how it might, maybe, possibly be turned around some time in the near or distant future by Les Miles, Bo Pelini, or a yet to be born coach.

Nice to get the road monkey off our backs. Still doubt we win another game, but would love to be wrong about that.

Come on. We have come a long ways since those simpler times. Give them all hand grenades to hurl at each other.

Kelly is definitely getting fired by tweet from Mar a Lago.
