Welp, so much for avoiding the shutout.

I just feel bad for all of you whose moods still swing on our wins and losses.

I still want us to do well, I always root for us... But I'm such a happier person now that I really don't give a shit anymore

I called the right play for the second half: nap

Athletics is money. It's the primary driver of community and alumni fundraising. It's absolutely part of hiring and extensions.

One day you'll understand that a school president is almost guaranteed extensions as long as they don't break any laws or fuck any students.

Even shitty football teams make money. Kansas football makes more money for the school than the basketball team does.

Had we fielded a team of ourselves against Colorado with Merkin as our quarterback, we wouldn't have scored fewer points today.

I'm not being smug.... I want us to win... it sucks that we suck...but 30 seconds after the game I'm completely over it. I'm excited to make a good dinner right now and open a bottle wine.... it's going to be so nice outside tonight!

I'm over the game 30 seconds before it starts now.


Ricky Bobby should know apathy is worse than anger when it comes to sports. People are going to just stop caring.

At least it was buried on PAC-12 Networks where neither I nor most of the country could see that train wreck.

I still have 4 years of eligibility left, am quite tall, with big hands and a good arm.

Cats should run the triple option with Joiner as QB.

Us being the worst team in the P5 conferences and possibly all of FBS has 0 bearing on my mood or weekend anymore.

I'm a Wildcat who grew up in S. Florida as a Dolphins fan. I think I'm going to swear off football for a while. When your teams are this pathetic, apathy sets in quickly.
