This team used to go 1-11.
Any bowl is huge.

I agree they deserve another game. Beat Baylor and we have one.

The real question should be do NFL prospects play in a worthless bowl?

I was talking to a buddy the other day and I’m curious if NIL agreements have any condition of playing in all games you’d be available for. We all know man6 have recently chosen to forego Bowl games. Why should the likes of Dotson, Bryant, Neal play in the Z-Man with extra Cheese bowl presented by Quilted Northern?

A bigger than KU question is why should top NFL draft prospects play for playoff teams. Ultimately, the money here is small potatoes for these guys. And lol @ ‘they are competitors at heart’ (they are,but potential generational wealth seems much more alluring than any college glory)

So, ignore the turn around late season?

Grimes was merely a spectator for that?

The turnaround has been great. Still should be 10-1 at worst right now. And lost to KSUck again, which is inexcusable. The last three games don’t make up for that. This should have been a special, program-defining year.

Andy Reid is still figuring out how to run an offense led by Patrick Mahomes throwing to some pretty damn amazing players. It didn't help that Jalon Daniels made an insanely high percentage of terrible decisions late in both halves of numerous games in a row. I personally do not think he was fully physically and mechanically ready from his back issues. Maybe they kept the reps down in preseason and that is why he was behind. The flip side is that maybe that is the only reason we have him this late in the season doing as well as he is. Who knows, backs are a finicky thing.

I wouldn't have a problem with KU keeping their ear open on the unofficial level to see if a promising upgrade becomes available but I don't think you just fire Grimes cold right when the season ends. I think even Grimes would understand when he hears KU is listening to job pitches to replace him. Sometimes coaches need a little motivation heading into the offseason to ensure they are ready once the new season begins.

Let's hang 40 on Baylor then go to some random bowl and beat up the 10th place SEC team.

I wouldn't be nearly up in arms as I was earlier in the season if they didn't.

How will it be hard to keep him?

Mi believe he’s referring to LL.

Which I think is wrong. LL isn’t a young man, I think this is his last stop.

6-2 with tiebreakers.

That's ahead of Colorado, BYU, Michigan and MIZZOU.
