TCU (-6.5) @ Kansas

[pdub]

I guessed around 9.
I think it may settle around 7.5-8.
I will take 7 though.

I got +5.5 last week and I thought that was going to be a steal because I thought KU would win by double digits and TCU would struggle. Regretting that bet now.

But if it gets to that 8 or 9 range, I think I'll take it.

A TD seems right. Might as well do some Hawk ML action.

Had this as a W before the season. Maybe Oklahoma just sucks.

Ky is obviously talented enough to play at this level, but I'm not sure he has the rare size/speed combo that Hishaw has. I don't know a lot about what happened at Minnesota last season.

Good news IMHO on Hishaw. On TCU, it is an early KSU type of test. Stuff Duggan. You stop him leaking out and you win the game. OU can't seem to get that concept down.

genuinely thinking about trying to go back to Lawrence for the game. Might be able to swing it.

Anyone around?

Wanna go in on an airbnb and pretend like we're in college again for the weekend?

If you don't mind the drive to KC, CnB will host.

Biggest game since 2007. Headed to Colorado for a wedding. SMH.

I’ll be at the game. Hoping to tear down a goalpost!

I was telling a friend that I couldn't believe the fans rushed the field twice in a row. I then said if KU beats TCU this week I could easily see the goalpost being torn down. I can get behind this one since it would mean KU was bowl eligible. If my sons want to take part in that I might have to join them to keep an eye on my youngest.

It's still hard to wrap my mind around College GameDay being at the bottom of The Hill for a football game.

Just listened to a podcast and they mentioned this exact thing. It’s hard to wrap your mind around it.

It’s insane.

I helped tear down a goalpost when I was at KU. Experience of a lifetime.

Hope so. I'm still guarded.

Posts have to come down with a W Saturday.

Students do your thing.
Into potter.

Abso-freaking-lutely.

It'll be weird for sure as the crowd will likely be late arriving. They do their show and the predictions right up to 11. And then the game will kick off at 11. It's going to be a mad rush to get to the stadium after Gameday is done.

Hope the team is fired up and ready to go.

Guys. I watched a bit of the OU/TCU game and let me tell you. OU STINKS. Their defense is currently on par with Kansas defenses of the mid 2010s. It's that bad to my untrained eyes. TCU did nothing special. Ran vertical routes, OU wouldn't guard one of them and it would be wide open. Duggan runs a QB read and the DE and DB both crash after the RB and Duggan has nothing but empty grass.

They don't have any wild schemes or anything like that. They do have some dudes. But I think this KU staff has the better coaches, the better scheme and the home crowd. TCU has the better players though.

[pdub]

I don't think TCU stinks.
But I do think it's possible we beat them.

[NewtonHawk11]

Shit, I meant OU stinks. Like rotten eggs stinks.

I watched it live and had flashbacks. OU missed assignments, tackles and didn't finish plays. I turned it off at 55-18 or so.
