This was Nick Timberlake in the locker room after the loss to Cinci in KC. He didn’t move from that position for a long while. So great to see him perform last night. 19 points, 3-of-6 3FG. You can tell he really cares, and last night Timby finally had his moment. #kubball

With Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12, @KU_Football is legitimately set up to be the kings of the conference. With Leipold likely staying long term, that’s not too far fetched. And the playoff goes to 12 teams next year. Potential great times ahead in Lawrence.
