Ahhhhhh fuckkkkkkkk...do I have to? Well, I DO feel pretty good about how the Missouri season went, so in these good spirits, I have to be fair and respectful. Everybody knows just how hard it is to succeed in Lawrence! Well...on the GRIDIRON, that is. And especially after the Les Miles debacle (he knows that it's best to stick to Fansville commercial, it's what he's good at these days)...who could take such a program and glow it up? Well...Lance Leipold, that's who! And to their credit, he really IS a miracle worker, breaking what seemed to be an absolutely THICK ceiling to raise the Jayhawks' status higher and higher! And while there WERE some hiccups along the way...2023 ended up as a season to remember, especially after invoking their REAL HUMAN BEAN powers to take care of an uppity UNLV team in their bowl game (who was, coincidentally, a Missouri coach of old - so you know, lotta Tiger fans hoping for the upset there). And while I may feel just a TWINGE salty at the result (it would have to take, like, a Kansas/Liberty bowl for me to consider even begrudgingly root for KU lol), I must take the higher road and congratulate Lance and Lawrence for an impressive season! That's the most flattery I can give as a college football fan in general...

The Jayhawks’ turnaround has been incredibly impressive. Beating Oklahoma is a massive achievement and with a weakened Big 12, their playoff chances are surprisingly high.

(9-4) -

This Jayhawks team keeps building. Not a strong start like last year, but a good year overall. If this team takes the leap, they'll be in the b12 mix.
