    Uncharacteristic play from the defense from start to finish. Didn’t have an answer for the offensive game plan Kansas had. Doesn’t appear we are a play from behind team so we have to get out in front early. Offensively you notice how much time Daniels had vs UH QB’s so that needs to be fixed.

      The QB that gave us all the problems and all of the loses was still allowed to start the game - Donovan. So guess what happened? He lost the game yet again! Surprise surprise surprise! Not! You would think these idiotic coaches that coach football for a living would know a sorry ass QB when they see one (Especially after watching him played for several games now and watching his terrible highlight reels from the last 3 years) then to continue to make the same mistake over and over again only to see him play like a piece of doo doo over and over again! I’m like: “Come on man, put somebody else in there! Even if Ale plays with one bad leg he can’t play as bad as Donovan!”

    3 to 4 year rebuild under a coach that will probably retire in 3 to 4 years if he is still here. Then a new coach, leading to another 3 to 4 year rebuild with the lowest budget out of every power program in the NCAA. If any player shines, they are then bought by the wealthier programs to transfer away. Not a recipe for success. Sad, but true.

    Various factors need to be considered in addressing the how many french fries do you grab question. Length, width, cut, coatings (messiness factor), and temperature all factor in to the equation. Also practical and social considerations come into play. ( Are you sharing with another person? Are you eating at home? At a restaurant? At the ball park? In the car while driving? Dipping in ketchup or another condiment? Is "you" a sober adult, a toddler or some other variant of a human being? And just how hungry are you when you get the fries? Asking how many do you grab is a bit like asking what golf club do you use off of the tee box or what do you not like about a presidential candidate or how fast you go on the Gulf freeway.
