2014-15 Schedule

You obviously aren't a season tix holder

Long, long-time season ticket holder, saso member.

I will wait to make a comment on this until I see how much season ticket prices have increased.

Bump

It's really not about what I want as a season-ticket holder, it's more about what's going to be necessary to keep our coaching staff. If a second game at Intrust each year increases the overall $$ purse, it might be a necessity. Anybody have any information or even a guess on the actual dollars earned in addition to season tickets from past downtown games?

When did KU get a new PG?

11 deep. I think that we may play more people this year, press more on defense, and run a little more.

Rion and Shaq not mentioned?

Red shirts. It's pretty common for a preseason review to check a season box score and the recruiting lists.

I believe 3 games left to be added to the schedule. What does everyone think?

Let's just speculate, Marymount (N), George Washington (N), Colorado (N), @Utah, @ Detroit, Alabama, Tulsa, St. Louis, Memphis (N)....not too much deadweight there. You kind of have to assume at least 2 of the 3 games left are going to be at home.

But, like the results, the schedule seems to always get better, even when we don't think it will.

I'll guess 1 cupcake at home (I hope it's not a SWAC or a non-counting D2) like a UNCC type team, one more home and home starting on the road (perhaps even a made for TV game on ESPN) and a (if I may steal a line from Craig Steven) "that'll make you stand up" game at Intrust (something like UCONN).

Does that leave an open date for a scrimmage like they have done the last couple of years?

I laugh when I see these preseason polls that rehash the same teams in the top 5. Not saying those teams won't be good but how long does KU continue to get the benefit of the doubt?

According to KenPom, over the last decade KU has FINISHED:
Top 5 half the time
Top 10 in 8 of the 10 years
No worse than 13th.

That is pretty insane consistency, and before you trolls try to claim I’m cherry picking my timeframe, KU finished top 5 in 2 of the 3 years immediate preceding my time frame.

What benefit of the doubt are you talking about?
