Kansas Football 2021 Season

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Who would have thought when the season started that KU would not be the biggest disaster in the Big 12 on 11/14/21?
Texas is a dumpster fire and it starts with their "leadership".
Sarkisian sucks.
Bo Davis is nuts.
Jeff Banks is nuts.
Kwiatkowski sucks.

Jared Casey, the player who caught the winning 2 point conversion, is a freshman walk on fullback from Plainville, KS (pop. 1,900) who had never played a snap on offense before that play and was only on the field due to injuries to other players.

Part of what makes the raw video I posted so awesome.

Pretty understandable if those parents don’t spend the considerable money to travel to Austin for that game. And then the realization your walk on son catches an historic 2 points.

I honestly don't know, do walk on's parents need to pay travel expenses or do they get "stipends" too?

Pretty sure they get tickets discounted or given to them in the KU section but pay for everything else.

awesome

the collective silence, followed by the parents’ realization and reaction is great

I’m not a big CFB fan, but I don’t think there’s another sport out there that can deliver that kind of moment. David vs. Goliath. A walk on getting thrown into the game at the stadium of the most absurdly wealthy football program in the world.

Watched his postgame presser, his parents drive to every game.

Thanks for the incredible video by Jared's parents!!

[CrimsonNBlue]

Over 1.5 wins hits.

I'm liking the Caseys!

[Cascadia]

Awesome. The "Oh Shit" moment is so good.

Since the start of the 2016 season, KU Football has won 9% of its games against FBS teams not from Austin TX.

They have won 40% of their games against the Longhorns.

What a roller coaster of emotions this game was! From disbelief and anger on the failed 4th down attempt to disbelief and elation on the 2 point conversion! It feels like a heavy weight has been lifted from my chest.

I liked the decision to go for it on 4th and 1.

100% agree

Also, with the NIL rules, can some local business owner get $10K in Jared Casey's pocket?

We were calling for it. But not into the Middle. They had stacked 4 vs. 3 there. Neal over the top was probably the better play.

Loved it. Freaking loved it.

Also, freaking hated that play call. Freaking hate QB sneaks.

Someone call the Baty Bros!

Talked to Matt quite a bit at a youth football tournament we ran lat weekend. He’s still all about KU even though it didn’t work out for him well in the administration.
