It will take time to move some of the casual fans to start going to games. So many KU fans still think the football team is bad or think a good year or two was a fluke. Not to mention, KU lost a whole generation of football fans due to that terrible decade. It will take time to build the fanbase...

lol, that's crazy. I do think you see a good group though. Between 5K to 8K more than likely. Chicago is the 2nd largest KU alumni base. I know a lot of KU fans in Chicago who are going to the game. Oddly enough, KU football fans tend to travel fairly well. Yet we struggle to sell out our 50K...

That's a good way to look at it. You don't have to be the better team overall, you just need to be the better team Saturday. Come with a good game plan and execute at a high level and you can pull it off.

KU fans are pretty confident. Some of that is from the travesty that the 2010-2021 stretch was. Now that we finally have a good program going, some are gonna be too optimistic. That said, there are a lot of reasons to be optimistic about this KU team. They went 8-4 last year, but 2 of those...

I know on the Kansas board they're calling it a sellout. I know a lot of KU fans who will be there, some making the trip and others who live there. Chicago is the 2nd largest KU alumni base, there's a lot of Jayhawks up there. The alumni group is expecting a big showing. Hopefully you don't...

Haha, no worries. man.

Good luck. I'm a Jayhawk so obviously I don't hope you win. But I hope everybody gets out of there without any injuries and wish you luck in all your other games. Especially against Nebraska. I grew up on the Kansas/Nebraska border and heard "go big red" too many times. Good luck.

Illinois can win this game, but I think KU will score more than 20. If Illinois wins, it's going to have to probably be a high scoring game. maybe 35-31 or something like that.

I posted before I finished. Had to run out of the office to pick up my kid. I dropped another post more in depth and finished my thoughts. Didn't know this post went through actually, since I got a message my registration wasn't complete. Basically, the OL isn't revamped. KU returns most of the...

This is very misleading. Kansas returns 100% of their receiving production. They return 100% of their RB production. They did lose their starting TE, but they still return 2 of their top 3 TEs. The big drop of in "returning production" is at QB, where KU returns only 25% of their QB...

This Kansas team is better than that Virginia team. A W could happen, but barring a bunch of turnovers on the part of Kansas, it's going to be a game throughout. And if you look at Kansas's record the last two games, they don't roll over. Even when they get down a few scores, they always...

It's misleading. KU has less returning experience, because Jalon Daniels missed 9 games. KU returns all of their receiving production, all of their RB production, and only about 25% of their passing production. But that's because their backup played all year. Jalon Daniels was named starter...
