Losing Sucks, But...

Now, I don’t know what to think about this team. It would be easy enough to say they are 1-3, there only win is against the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State University, they suck. But that just is not the case. At all. In fact, this team was up eight against Rice going into the fourth quarter and blew the game last second. Literally. Against # 15 TCU the Jayhawks were never really in the game, but they were never out of it either. On Saturday vs NIU, in DeKalb where the Huskies had won 16 games in a row, the Jayhawks took a double digit lead into the fourth quarter. And lost.
So on one hand KU has been in every game this season, quite a leap from last year where every game was essentially over by halftime. On the other hand , late game leads don’t equate to wins and they surely don’t feel as good. Realistically, the Jayhawks could and probably should be 3-1. At some point, even if it is much sooner than expected (4 games into the Weiss Era) when the team has a lead, late, they must find a way to protect it.
Glass half full for sure, but why not? The Jayhawks defense last year allowed more points than a porcupine and got the head coach fired in his second year. It was the depths of Kansas Jayhawk Football.
So as much as it sucks to be in games and lose them this season, How refreshing it is to just be in games.
