Y’all wanna see something weird?

[The Frog to be Named Later]

Yes because once youve seen one... no wait thats boobies

Well I'll admit that they've already surpassed most people's expectations by winning that one game. Just trying to pin you down on how good exactly is "for real" and "a lot better than people think." When you're dealing with a team that annually has the lowest of low expectations then these statements could mean a number of different things and certainly being better than people think is about the only possibility since there's almost no way that Kansas can ever be worse than people think.

They were starting to play better last year mid to the end of the year. Their offense started clicking. I’m not saying they are going to win the conference, but they appear to be taking football more seriously now.

That QB is decent and he has some playmakers to throw to. Could be a dark horse this year. They play Houston on the road this weekend. If they can win against Houston, I think that is a good indication they are not to be overlooked.

They go to Houston next week. That game will be very telling. I hope @JugbandFrog has that on the pickem poll.

I like Kansas +3...the line is currently around +10

Thought it was gonna be a picture of the OP’s penis

I didn't b/c I thought he lopped it off long ago when he got into theater/musicals/chorus activities. Figured it was going to be a photo of he being hazed in his early aggy years.

Fair enough. I do agree that they've taken a step up offensively from where they were most of the last 10 years. They could be in the top half of the conference on that side of the ball but will obviously still need to play some level of defense to win more than a couple Big 12 games. That part remains to be seen as well as their ability to sustain injuries on offense throughout the year and play through that.

They need more games against Texas. That’s where they’ve gotten the bulk of their conference wins.

Unfortunately they've knocked us off a couple times too and been way too close for comfort other times.

Injuries. A problem we all have.
Definitely weaker on the defensive side of the ball. I am rooting for them to do well (except against us of course).

Kansas has been the Vegas underdog in their last 110. conference games. It will be interesting to watch when (or if) they might break that streak

That's an interesting factoid.

No, wasn’t until I got married.

A couple? I remember only 1

Maybe you're right. I just remember 2-3 blowouts in a decade of B12 football against the doormat of the conference. They outperform expectations against us nearly every time we face them. And half of those meetings have either been losses or snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. In my head those feel like losses.
