It was dumb, although either way, you'll see recruit attrition. As for candidates... I don't think there's any chance we'll go the retread route after Chuck's performance. I also think Gill will have made them a little gunshy about the mid-major route, although maybe Craig Bohl would get consideration. I think Beatty or Ed Warriner or Scott Frost or Tom Herman seem like where we might land, although Herman might not want the job, as it might be a career killer.

Can't believe they fired him mid season. We can't even fire coaches right.

Texas is lucky we're the worst college football program in a generation. Their offense is putrid, and they could only score on us because our steaming pile of crap QB threw four interceptions and basically put them in the red zone three times. Otherwise, they couldn't move the ball at all. Good luck against any teams with a pulse.
-
Texas is terrible. If we had anything better than a mediocre HS QB, we'd actually have a shot at winning this game.
-
You've scored. Advantage you. That's 10 points in 2.75 games against power 5 conference teams 3 points in 1.5 games. I'd love to be wrong about this, guys, but come on.

I know we suck, but god dam Texas gets away with absolute murder. Their o-line holds on play after play with no call.

javi baez deep concern and probably giving hope up thread

damn dude u've got a huge dick -
What year was the Collins Aldrich team that lost to UNI? That one was pretty solid. That was the team. They were definitely good, but I don't see them as one of the all time greatest teams to not win it all.
-
Not sure why the 2010 KU team is in the conversation of best teams to never win it. That was a good team, not a great team.
-
Chicago style voting going on. It has to be the UNLV team that threw the title game, right? Yes, and I know this won't win me many fans here, but that 1997 KU team should not have been eliminated by the 2005 UI team. It was a really good Kansas team. I'm probably still more bitter about that team than any other. Although the teams that lost to Maryland in the FF, Cuse in the Title, and VCU in the elite 8 are pretty close.

Hope Charlie Strong goes on another player-suspending bender this week, resulting in us getting to play Texas' scout team. I bet we'd have a shot in the 4th quarter then.

11/6/10 Terrible.
-
I wonder how long it's been since KU won and MU lost on the same day. Years?
-
Statistically, there are 8 worse give us some time.
-
there is no way there's a worse offense in CFB than KU's. No way.
-
Last chance for a win for KU. Ride or die, baby!

Is he on the hot seat at all? It's hard to say. Since we fired Turner Gill after 2 years, boosters may not be willing to buy out Weis after 3. There's a ton of apathy about the football program. We need stadium upgrades in the worst way, but no ones donating for it. Meanwhile they're building a new building for basketball...to house Naismith's original rules. I'll give Weis credit. At least he works hard, unlike 9-5 Gill. And he saved the team off the field. According to insiders, a huge percentage of guys were headed toward academic ineligibility under Gill. But on the field, the product is still terrible. If CW goes 1-11 or 2-10, I think maybe he's gone. 3-9, dunno. 4-8, no. He stays. That's my guess.
-
Year 3 into the Charlie Weis experiment, and I'm not sure we're better on the field than we were in year 1. The most damning thing--we're definitely more talented. But the play on the field is not a reflection of that. We have a shot at one more win this season vs. CMU. After that, we're screwed.

Part of the Marlins complaint was likely that, regardless of intent, for two straight pitches Fiers had not demonstrated the ability to pitch inside without putting the ball near someone's head. If you can't do that, then quit pitching inside. You can argue, the day after as a fan, that that's not fair, but it's completely understandable why someone might feel that way. (A few years back a Cubs pitcher hit like 4 batters in the first few innings vs Pittsburg, I think, and they were pissed, even though it was obviously unintentional.) And Fiers' reaction was gasoline on the fire.
-
the hell? why? Why? Because if I were a Marlin, Stanton would presumably be my friend. And seeing Reed almost catch one in the face right afterward would've thrown me into a blind rage. And seeing Fiers mouth off would have made it worse. Not saying it wouldn't have been ultra-meatbally, just saying that's likely how I would have felt. Sorry I'm not as zen as you under all circumstances, Roshi. Perhaps one day I will walk the 8-fold path like you. i'm sorry but unless you think there was intent, it makes no sense to me. i'm not even trying to be that guy. i'm not that guy. i get meatbally about stuff. hell i can turn into a raving lunatic if i'm running late and the people around me are driving too slow. a terrible accident like this isn't one of those times though. i mean, everyone is standing around looking horrified. You realize Reed Johnson basically got drilled on the next pitch, right? That's when fictional Marlin-me would've gotten angry. If you can't fathom getting pissed at the point, you might want to ask the Wizard for a heart.

Watching that stirred up my inner meatball. I totally would've wanted to go after Fiers if I played for Miami.

I'm not going to argue with you guys, but I do know some facts. It's on record that Paterno made a report to his superior and the school VP and backed out of the process. That's what the NCAA just released a few weeks ago as the proper course of action. I am not defending Joe Paterno here as much as I am saying I just refuse to be surprised when they give him his wins back, because the NCAA is run by clowns. Guys, maybe you better back off. He knows some facts.
