Kansas Football 2023 Season

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

As of this moment, the consensus seems to be KU will be playing in the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Against... UNC? NC State? Miami? BC? Duke? VaTech? I think if Clemson wins out there is a slight chance we may face them.

I just went to the Pop Tarts bowl website, and although I know the little click here icons are a picture of a pop tart with a bite taken out of it, it sure does look a lot like Kansas.

I personally would love NC State in the Pop Tarts Bowl.
Give it to me.

I still have PTSD from watching Philip Rivers pick KU apart for NC State in the 2003 Tangerine Bowl. Thirty point beatdown, IIRC.

[pdub]

Yup.
Mangino's first bowl game I think.
We were just happy to be there.

And David Jaynes in 1973. Kansas gave it away, basically. To Lou Holtz

Pop tarts are a great camping treat

[pdub]

They are.

Maybe JD6 would come in if Bean gets hurt? Wouldn’t that be something. Hope it’s not even remotely a possibly.

He'd have to be in the same state as the rest of the team for that to happen.

Exactly. And actually taking reps in practice.

I give the benefit of not knowing the inside workings of how much pain his back issue might cause with travel here.

I am extremely hesitant in regards to viewing athletes as soft, unless they have a history of doing so. These people compete at levels most of us can’t comprehend.

Well, I meant to correct my sentence not quote myself. Haha.

I am not faulting him for not being there. My back has been a mess recently so I empathize with him tremendously. My response was purely literal. Whatever is wrong with his back is preventing him from being an option as a backup as he doesn't even travel with the team. Will he be in pads on the sideline this weekend and change that? I don't know, I doubt it. If I had to guess I'd say he has taken his last snap this season but who knows. It would just be a guess based mostly on my own lingering back problems.

[Back2Lawrence]

Back issues suck.

I have thought he was done for the year at least since the OU game.

[surly]

his back pocket is more likely his biggest back issue. looking for a big nil hall next season in lawrence or elsewhere. and why not, he's not playing in the nfl.

[UnholyLivingDead]

Must have heard that from Derek Young's "extremely reliable sources".

[pdub]

We are 16th in the nation.
16th!!!

Leipold said that the doctors determined the bus ride to and from Ames wouldn't be good for JD's back.
