Re: 22-23 NCAA Basketball Season

A sizeable chunk of their fanbase have treated KU fans, coaches and players like shot and I hope they suffer season after season. I do not want them to have anything enjoyable because they are insufferable jerks. I am sure I can find other non-KU teams who are fun to watch and who play hard. Screw ...

Re: 22-23 NCAA Basketball Season

Hard not to root for K-State, gritty, tough game. Likeable coach and players play hard for him. Self needs to get some damn shooters for sure. Miss the days of Mason and Devonte running the point or even Chalmers and Collins. Those guys were fast and could pull up and shoot and were masters of driv...

most amazing scene of the weekend, a missouri landmark bathed in purple. :D https://twitter.com/UnionStationKC/status/1637649433142648834?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1637649433142648834%7Ctwgr%5Ef95c7630106413834370e2d38b2543d3045366d8%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%...

Weird year when k state advances further than us. Maybe forget recruiting high school kids and just bring in the best transfers.

Why would he not go pro? Delaying a year will almost certainly cost him lots and lots of money. Either next year, or towards end of career, whenever that might be.

Re: 2023-2024 lineup

Maybe yes, maybe no. I think a mid-teens pick is in line for a rookie salary in the $4-5mm range. Would Gradey get there in NIL by staying? Probably not. But, would what Gradey can get in NIL, plus all the “soft” reasons college is better/more fun, plus the possibility of moving up in the draft* fo...

Re: 2023-2024 lineup

I just don’t see GD as a top draft, I don’t know. He needs another year under Self, IMO. Plus he’s always wanted to play for KU, so maybe that and losing in the second round will keep him at KU another year. He needs to bulk up and be more aggressive.

Re: March Madness 23

I hate Kentucky, but I hope they beat K-State by 50 today. I don’t hate KState, but do have a tremendous dislike for UK. Mostly just their fans who generally hate KU and always bash on us as a cheating program under Coach Self, all while Calipari has had 2 Final Fours vacated. Plus since we passed ...

Re: Kansas vs Arkansas Official Game Thread

Yeah, this loss stings, but it’s only a game. Just hope Coach Self is back and healthy. Coach Robert’s seems like a good guy, his coaching is more like D Manning, doesn’t yell or scream or seem to even get fired up. Self’s face would have been red and I think he would have come out with a different ...

We had an extremely warm Feb. Now it's in the 20s. Killing lots of blossoms. Yeah, my dogwood tree out front has started to bloom, might kill them over the next few days, oh well. It'll re-bloom. All my hostas and tulips are coming up, but they're pretty hardy. I overseeded my front yard this past ...

Re: March Madness 23

I think we are alright. Play the cards dealt. Prove the doubters wrong. Getting pummeled by TCU in Larry didn’t help. Also getting beat by Tejas in B12 tournament by double digits; also not good. Now, go prove them wrong.
