i have read a couple different reports of a heart attack.

everything says he is doing good.

Dang. Get well soon Bill.

Mike Vernon, as hated as he is, posted about 30 minutes before news came out that "Some things aren't worth scooping" So many knew.

Heart attack or stroke is the word. Nobody sure and nobody will probably truly find out. Scary situation.

No confirmations, just Twitter speculation.
All that is confirmed is that he's ill and will be out today.

Vernon is pretty useless.
Remember when he said Bill Self was on the verge of getting a 2 year ban?

prayers out to coach self. get well. life is so damn fragile.

Some local TV people coming out with some updates saying a "vascular event" and unsure of severity or exactly what happened.

We are in good hands with Norm even if Self is out the remainder of the year.

I follow along with Vernon and have to disagree. His info is usually pretty solid. He had the info on the Allen Fieldhouse renovations most recently and is usually very accurate.

To be fair, he didn't say Self was on the verge of getting a 2-year ban. He said "if they come to a resolution this year, this is what I have heard it would look like". Not exactly the same.

But he did hurt his credibility with his early whiff on conference realignment so I get it.

He said Remy was going to be out for the season ( and that it MIGHT not be because of his knee ).
Welp, whiffed on that.
That David McCormack was the same player.
Oops, Final Four MOP.

He labels everything with 'hearings'.
He just makes shit up sometimes and then just balances it out with 'hey, those were my sources'.
Worst kind of 'journalism'.

fuck

Let's hope whatever happened was as minor as possible.

Vernon has been right about a shit ton of information. It's honestly weird how many people deny that simple fact.

Get better, Bill!

Vernon often takes things that people already have a good guess about and then tweets it out.
i.e. Goff -- he was one of the forerunners and he just 'scooped' it.
The stuff he whiffs, people don't care about.

So if you're taking educated guesses that are already fairly likely to come true, sure, you can be right about it, and say you called it. But the misses? NBD. I was just 'hearing', it's 'just what i heard'.

i.e.
"Cam Martin is likely done with the Jayhawks. A medical redshirt and a transfer make sense."
- wow Vernon, big scoop.

v
"I expect KU's third game to be a homematchup v UCF"
- miss, but whatever, 60% of the time it works every time.

If it really was a heart attack or a stroke, I can't imagine we see Coach Self on the sideline again this season.

I would agree Infinite.

Yea, either of those things, just shut it down Self.
Health and fam way way first.

Get right, think on the offseason.

Hey pwhitt, your friend is saying McCullar isn't playing today. It's 3 hours before tip. Let's see if he's right!?

mccullar has back spasms. he did not practice yesterday.

Hope William is going to be ok. My hope is if it is heart related, he realizes he's lucky to have gotten the wake up call - and will deal with it properly.
