Good throw by Bean to end the half. Only a 37 yd drive though. Pretty brutal football overall.

He doesn’t have much help but looks like the same Bean. He’s just not a threat in the passing game. No throws downfield.

ESPN+ Warning, this is like early Dickey-ball.

Kansas football= cure for insomnia. No first downs. Eighteen yards. Feels less that that.

Kansas being Kansas so far.

Once bought two LS shirts off the link on the athletics web site. One was so ridiculously large it’s a frickin nightgown. The other the color was off. Both overpriced. Basically at this point I’ll only buy MG gear in person and I live out of state.

At least we’re not doing this.

If the ever have an auction to throw the match that burns the gray uniforms forever, I’m bidding high.

Adler coming in hot! I do agree we should have a home and away uni and maybe one alternate a year. I’m not a fan of the constant changes. Also I’m an admitted worshipper of the all whites. Having said that, I only care about uni talk when we are winning. Right now my Mean Green brain pan is more worried about not giving up fifty and having a consistent QB. Also, when the old MGC wanted to do a flying worm shirt Helwig laughed at the idea. At least we don’t laugh at our (glorious) past anymore.

Belichick just cut Cam Newton

I got nothing more to say about this but excuse me while I go get in the shower with my clothes on. GMG.

Thanks, Keith…ugh. I planned on turning my frown upside down in regards to the quarterbacks because it’s game week and then you post that. In fairness I looked up Fine’s first year comp pct and it was 59.4. So maybe Aune can show improvement as well.

If we are starting a QB that is completely lost in game two then I might have to google “airplane banner”.

Unfortunately I think your scenario is what will happen. To me you pick a #1 and he plays until we have sixty. Then #2 can trot out there. If #1 leads us to two TD drives you don’t go “hey, let’s see what the other guy can do.” Feel free to serve this back up to me when we’re 9-3 and getting great quarterback play from whoever played better in the first game. I’ll gladly admit I was wrong.

I’m not mad at anyone who has that opinion, I just have yet to see someone explain why and how your scenario will work. If the first game is so easy and a throwaway game, why is that the game that will decide the QB situation? We did this last year, it didn’t work out. Why do people think it will work this year? If I’m on “Freaking out on QB” island alone, so be it. I have no idea how this works out so I’m not smarter than anyone. But I do know that deciding your QB during the season is not a winning path.

So we are going to base a QB decision on how they play against a bad FCS defense instead of how they look against a FBS defense (ours)??? We scored 57 points last year in our “preseason” game. How’d that work out for predicting future QB play? And if they both play good?

Probably not but I know South Carolina was drawing 80k back in the 90s and 00s when they were bad. They still sell out during lousy seasons. But definitely the exception. My point was attendance isn’t driven by message board “negativity”.

Don’t know if or how hard he tried but it’s weird to me he didn’t find an FCS HC job and prove himself there. His resume isn’t good enough to get an FBS head gig now.

Maybe it’s the gambling side of me but I equate a prediction with something you want to get right. So I’d say it’s more about reality than positivity. I’d love to see that extensive list of G5 programs that don’t win consistently yet still draw big crowds.

I’ll have what he’s smoking

So much for my hopeful theory that Harry had been hinting this team would be better than most of us think. Dammit!

Can’t do a prediction this year. Preparing myself mentally for the worst and rooting like hell for the best. Might need therapy if we repeat four wins.

Nothing, which is why you are more credible. Every college reporter/blogger is doing whatever it takes to find the next move in realignment and yet somehow Wannstedt has the next three moves. Not to mention this has been thrown out there before, but not as a reported prediction, just as something that makes sense. Which means it definitely won’t happen. Also I’d like to take this opportunity to announce an historic alliance with UNTLifer that will change nothing, do nothing and mean nothing. Thank you. Sorry UNTLifer, for some reason your handle just came to me when thinking about all this.

I would believe UNT Lifer’s breaking news on conference changes over Wannstedt.

I guess I’m the only one that thinks our biggest OOC game shouldn’t be used as a tryout. It’s happened that out of two guys who are close in practice one distances himself in games but it’s not the norm. Usually you are what you are after a month of fall camp. He doesn’t need to name a starter today but if we’re rotating against SMU, my expectations go way down.
