KU Brought a Belt to Bramlage = Rock Bottom? *PLUS* 2026 FB Schedule Release! (S4//E44)
Bob Trollsby 
Kansas hammered both K-State men’s and women’s basketball in a Sunflower Showdown doubleheader that somehow managed to uncover a new rock bottom. The men suffered their worst home loss to KU since 2002, blowing a winnable game before getting embarrassed late, including KU dunking in the final minute and literally bringing a belt to the locker room.
We talk about how a program already drowning in low points found another one, whether keeping Jerome Tang is becoming a sunk-cost fallacy, and if the buyout is actually the least of K-State’s long-term problems. And if it comes to that… do you trust Gene Taylor to make the call?
On the women’s side, another tough loss at Allen Fieldhouse raises real questions, even with flashes from Taryn Sides and Jordan Speiser, and we assess the future of this core in an era where the portal never sleeps.
Then we pivot to football to save everyone’s sanity:
Portal additions, lingering roster gaps, and a full breakdown of K-State’s 2026 schedule.
Pain first. Perspective second. Football hope last.
