On the bright side, less than 0.5 million people watched the Illini game on Saturday. Dodged a bullet there.

They seem to be struggling transitioning to a new OC and their QB has not made the plays this year that he was expected to.

you wonder if losing to us made them go sour and the whole season took a turn

Followed right up by a similarly devastating late loss against UNLV at home.

Illinois and UNLV was supposed to be an easy-ish slate for them, but both of those teams are unusually good.

No Illini fan can look at this Kansas season and not feel recognition and empathy. We've been in that exact scenario multiple times.

And their schedule gets even more difficult from here. A 2-10 type catastrophe is possible there. Absolutely gotta have it at home against Houston on Saturday

Also note that KU is playing their home games at Arrowhead (... which is in Missouri) this year while their stadium is rebuilt, and their fanbase has basically given up on them. So expect roughly the same amount of Houston fans for this game, and probably a 3 to 1 ratio of Iowa St to Jayhawkers for their next "home" games.

Also, playing across the border in your rival state for your home games is wild to me. It'd make me feel terrible knowing that a portion of the taxes on my beer purchase at a HOME GAME would be going to fund Mizzou and their NIL fund.
