Sunflower Showdown Late Starting Game Thread. Pdub Approved, but it’s only because we starting 3rd string QB

[Shirley]

baller:

a player of a ball game, especially a talented basketball player.
"he's a baller who will take an open shot or create one"

What other meaning is there?

[pdub]

I’d rather have Bean in.

But come on man.

I just have a different definition of baller.

I’d rather have Patrick Mahomes, the baller, but in his stead. Alex Smith the game manager will do just fine.

He’s doing everything he’s been asked.

Except that fumble. That was lucky AF to get back.

I’m not arguing that.
He’s doing exactly what he needs to which is make basic throws and not turn it over.
Our direct wildcat snaps and our after the first drive defense are winning us this game.

That!

And, Ballard is a baller.

I don’t think Ballard, at this stage, is especially talented. What he has done is make some good important throws. He’s great graded on a curve. If he finishes this game with a W, he’s a hero.

A hero isn’t a baller. For me. Definitions variable.

[Back2Lawrence]

Good, then we all saying same thing.

Also: urban dictionary has lots of alternative definitions of baller. Surprisingly, none of the first couple pages were anything urban dictionary nasty.

[Back2Lawrence]

This is a game thread, not a place for semantics! Balls out, bitches!

[Sparko]

Disney's Johnny Wadd was a baller.

[AlOerter]

Biggest thing Ballard is doing is not panicking.

[AlOerter]

One thing I would like to add is that this offensive system has worked with 3 different QB's.

[Sparko]

Biggest thing Ballard is doing is not panicking.

And have we not endured the odd Cozartesque panics with youngsters since Reesing? Very good young Ballard

[pdub]

Biggest thing Ballard is doing is not panicking.

If Ballard wins this game he should have his ballards out rest of season.

I think this second half is gonna be about a turnover or blocked kick or special team deal.

If we get this first or these I think we could do this deal.

[Back2Lawrence]

That Ballad of Ballard to come.

[Back2Lawrence]

I think this second half is gonna be about a turnover or blocked kick or special team deal.

If we get this first or these I think we could do this deal.

Their D is gonna wear down. First drive, if we can control for a bit. Come on.

[pdub]

Pertros Padakis can take the second half off.

[Sparko]

Short kick likely

[jhawks99]

Nice

[Sparko]

Short field likely

[Back2Lawrence]

Thanks K-state special teams
