Reesing under pressure scrambles throws no lofts a ball to KERRY MEIER, TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



So I've been stealing internet at home since August and it stopped working last week so this is a belated blog.
Well last week I said I thought we'd go 2-2 with a hoops loss and a football loss, well fuck me, we should have been 4-0 but that's neither here nor there.
After Brady Morningstar's rockstar like performance on Friday I was all ready to party on Saturday.
Game thoughts-
1st quarter being the eternal optimist I wasn't worried that we threw a pick in the endzone, because I realized we had already turned Chase the Heisman over twice and dominated the clock, so being up 3-0 with first and goal I was really happy.
Not to mention two 3 and Outs that we forced.
2nd Quarter-
Great start with the bubble screen to Briscoe. We knew Mizz would score so them doing that wasn't that surprising.
What was surprising was Rojas kicking some great balls and the ensuing safety from Laptad, who's a guy I've been jocking for a while as a good to better than good DE.
up 9 at half with first ball in the 3rd I was real happy, I thought in my pregame thoughts that is we got this to a 3 possession game at some point it'd be too much for Mizz to come back from.
3rd quarter-
Opening drive eats a little over 4 minutes and results in a TD to Jake Sharp. Then Mizz answers and TR gets a bad break on an INT, so that 16 point lead was down to 3 thanks to the fact that Tinkle went for 2 with 8 minutes left in the 3rd, what a genius, a genius of kissing dudes.
4th quarter-
Well, let's see, we kind of blew over the forced fumble and recovery of Stuckey from the first quarter and the pick, plus his near pick in the 3rd quarter, so let's talk about his pick in this quarter, it was on that dumb sideline route that Mizz runs, invariably so they can protect their fragile WR's, and D Stuck was all over it, what a great pick, but you know what that pick only happens against Mizz, why? Because Chase Daniel for all the dick sucking he got from the local media especially has a puss arm, seriously, how many times have you seen him really load up and throw a dart... Oh you haven't that's because he can't.
so that's that
Mizz takes the leads, woo hoo, we are moving the ball way too well to not score again
So Briscoe who had been the best return guy we'd seen all year bangs his elbow so in a fitting scene Hereford comes into to do Briscoe's job after Briscoe gets knicked doing Hereford's job. And TR 5 scrambles and makes something out of nothing, guy is money like that and hits him for a big strike and 1st and goal.
Instead of running clock and running it a couple of times for a score they go right to KM and get a touch, KU with the lead.
Mizz comes right back down and leaves less than 2 minutes but that's an eternity for TR5 and buddies.
Briscoe with a decent return and we're off.
Out to Sharp who takes an absolute shot, but still gets the first down.
KM
KM
KM
Incomplete pass to Briscoe because he slips
Incomplete pass to Briscoe because of good coverage in the end zone
4-7
27 yard line (or there abouts and no I'm not going to check facts for you turds)
Pressure from the left side, TR steps up but sees more pressure from the middle, side steps to the right and then steps up and flicks it to a wide open KM for one of the most clutch plays in KU football history and a victory.
Yes MU kicks field goal to tie and its blocked but that's on Mizz for mismanaging the clock their challenges and TO's how you lose by 3 and still have 2 TO's is beyond me, but I don't anything those turds do over there.
So this victory did a lot of things, first it caused me to have to work the slant for a DVD of the game b/c Lund forgot to record it.
It got us the drum back.
it fucked Mizz
it was the game all year we have been waiting for, we knew TR5 was going to win us a game just because and then he did.
Game balls-
Everyone, basically
but for sure these guys---
tr5- couldn't lift his arm this week and then goes for 375 and 4 TD's, could have hung his head after the first INT or the second and he didn't he kept his head up and looked down field all the time and made play after play
KM - messed up hammy, I'm sure it was hard to stay loose in that cold weather, but he just caught 14 balls, KU RECORD, and caught the final 2 TD's, made countless plays and found his way out of bounds when he needed to
briscoe, enjoy him because you got about 14 games left of him, same as the 2 above and the next 2 guys
Sharp, I don't know broken ribs and he runs for a TD, has the shovel pass reception the big catch on the final drive and absolutely stone walled a blitzer on the final play, a warrior
Stuckey- I'm ready willing and able to hear of someone that had a better game, especially on that stage against our biggest rival, I have a feeling I'll be waiting on this for sometime
Bransetter- 2 tackles on KO's and made his only FG
Rojas- set up a safety, pinned then a bunch and took Maclin out of the punt return game
The unnamed KU player whose Mother died on Thanksgiving, whoever he is, he doesn't say anything he goes out and battles and then tells the team after the game, if one guy should get a game ball its this guy.
After the Texas game I cried because I was so distraught that we had guys like TR and KM, Rivera and Mort who we're banged up and getting after it all the time and no one else was bringing it, loss after loss, but this victory shows how gutty and tough we are as a team as a program, and then whoever this guy is shows them all up by putting his grief to the side for 48 hours and helps the team focus and win the biggest game of the year, whoever you are, you are the true meaning of what it is to be a Jayhawk.
