Kansas Jayhawks and Football. Two thing that rarely mix well

O.k., I've waited as long as I can and will say it, likely cursing their existence and good fortune. As well as likely throwing salt in the wounds of Limpalong.

Never thought I would see the day where I could say Kansas is the only undefeated football team in the Big 12 and the prior Big 8. They go into tonights game ranked #9 in the nation. I think I only remember them cracking the top 10 one other time since I started there in '83.

I figured I better not wait too long.

Well, off to the game!!!!

Texas A&M
0-0 11 minutes left in the half. Like I said, usually when I open my mouth I curse them, but at 7-0 it was hard to not say anything.

I don't ever remember being able to see two KU games in two weeks from PA. Actually, I can only remember maybe once seeing 2 KU games in PA over the course of an entire season.

edit 1 - Well, KU's kicker has now had one chip shot blocked for what seemed like it took him an eternity to kick the ball, and just hit another chip shot off the left upright to bounce wide left. Was 16 for 17 last year and 11 for 12 going into tonight.

I guess I would say, all cursing aside.

Kansas is 8-0 for the first time in any of our lifetimes. Unless of course there is anyone in the audience that is 100 years old.

Well, Oregon lost so it is looking good for a #2 ranking. Not looking past Iowa State, but they will then face Missouri and then if they win their last 2, Oklahoma (or Texas maybe) for the Big 12 Championship. Simply put, their last 2 games will be their toughest. If they should win, and having played 2 top 5 teams in their final 2 games there is no question they will play for the National Championship.

I guess this marks the end of my telling people "Wait until Basketball Season."

Talk of Kansas Football and National Championship in the same sentence, what is the world coming too???

Yeah, they are undefeated and not number 1. College football ranking is such bs.

before this week I wasn't sure KU deserved to be in the BCS, but thanks to Arizona and Texas Tech knocking off Oregon and Oklahoma, I can't think of any other teams that'd deserve it more than KU assuming KU will hopefully win out.....there's so much riding on that KU-MU game in a couple weeks now!

I watched KU play a football game on TV for the first time last night. They looked great!! A very legitimate contender....lets see if they can win out....

This is the year of the Basketball school having a good Football Team...KU and UK - Kentucky....and it appears that fans of both programs are responding....Kentucky has been packing 70,000 in their stadium.

I can't remember KU Football ever being ranked higher than KU Basketball at any particular time. The only time I think it could have happened was in 88 or 89 when their basketball team fell out of the rankings, but I can't remember if that was when they were ranked in football and went to one of their bowl games. I don't think it was.

This is the first time in school history they went 11-0. They did get #2, although West Virginia leap frogged Mizzou for #3 and Ohio State is back up to #5 after Missouri.

edit 1 - actually it was 92, 95 they went to the Aloha Bowl, and '03 and '05 were they other two bowl appearances since 81

Another interesting note in this. Reesing, KU's QB did in fact receive a 5th place vote as a Heisman Contender. Not sure that has happened with anyone since my starting at KU in '83.

He is only a Sophomore and is yet to lose a College Football game for which he started.

Reesing went to high school about 40 miles from us and our high school use to play them. Last weekend was the first time I've watched him play but I was impressed. The kid can play. Next week's game should be good.

What a game. I feel MU was more aggressive from the start. It took KU to long to get going. I grew up a K-State, KU fan, but have lived in sw Missouri many years and cheer for the tigers. I still cheer for ku & k-state when playing anyone but MU or MO State.

It was quite a game in the end. The two missed field goals in the beginning made it kind of a bitter pill to swallow. Mizzou played a heck of a game. KU dropped to 5th. Had they only dropped to 4th and not behind Georgia as well, they would maybe still have some kind of outside chance no matter how slim.

What even makes it worse is that we are going to be in San Antonio next weekend out of coincidence. So we would have been able to go to the game, now we will just have to rely on golf for entertainment.

At least KU managed to pull out an overtime win tonight in basketball against Arizona.
