After Saturday's events which saw KU claw to victory against Texas, OU benefit from terrible officiating, and K-St take out its 2nd big victory in a week in Iowa St. Monday brings a big matchup between OU and ISU. If Iowa St holds serve at home we win the Big 12 with a win Tuesday.

Last week I started the root or "rout" for Baylor Bears thread and we were graced with a victory from them over ISU. This week it's the opposite we want Iowa St. to win at home against OU and practically eliminate them from any championship hardware.

Everyone knows our last game is at OU on their Senior day and we don't want to go into Norman with Oklahoma having something to play for. We need the Cyclones to kill those dreams and KU can crown themselves at home. How great would that be for all this team has gone through to beat West Virginia and claim #11 at home. I certainly can't think of a better situation.

So for One night Only I will half heartedly become a Cyclones fan. Who's joining me??

@BeddieKU23

Go Clowns!!!

Hell, I'm a fence jumper!! More than seeing somebody else take care of business, I'd like to see some progress from this team.

@Blown

I like it, you only have to jump for roughly 2 hours. I'm sure Iowa St will be fired up after the week they had in having their title dreams crushed.

@BeddieKU23 I am actually with you. With an ISU win, would we not at least clinch a share of the crown on monday?

@BeddieKU23
ABSOLUTELY -I will be a huge ISU fan when they play OU tonight.

@BeddieKU23 Count me in. An ISU victory and I can start on the Crown 75th tomorrow night and finish it or me off Tues night. Besides that it would be good for mine and @globaljaybird 's hearts. Rock Chalk 'Clones!

@brooksmd

Are you suggesting you start drinking Monday nite and then just continue straight thru till Tuesday's game?!?!

@VailHawk I'm retired, remember? Besides every other drink is for @Crimsonorblue22 since she don't drink. :beers:

Interesting. Not too long ago we all thought we would be cheering for OU to win the game since ISU was nipping at the heels...oh, how things change in a blink of an eye in the Big 12...

@JayHawkFanToo

Yes your are right and nobody thought Iowa St would fall off their face in a week either.

Tonight, we are all CLONES....!clones.jpg ↗

!images.jpeg ↗

For one night, we join the Clone fanbase: ( Clone fan base pictured here)!clone fan base.jpeg ↗

For one night, Fred can be The Mayor and we can all be the City Commission. Sign me up.

Go ISU for one night. And hope to see Melvin Weathermax cheering for WVU in Lawrence. HCBS will ask Christian G. To drive for a dunk for the last play in a KU blow out win.

I of course will root for the Cyclones tonight only because it favors the Jayhawks, however a part of me would be very happy to see Iowa State lose three straight, two of which came at thier "magical" home court.

Iowa State has become my new personal rival, much like Missouri for the following reasons;

1. They recently claim some kind of Hilton Magic after a few good seasons, I would love to see that magic stomped on tonight while we hopefully have yet another undefeated season at home.

2. It has really gotten on my nerves how the most dry, non humorous coach in the big 12 is now a comedic commercial all-star, the apple of the big 12's eye (even his wife has cameras follow her on a very boring day and it makes TV). All our coach does is win conference championships, a national title and debatably is the best coach in all of college basketball over the last ten years, somehow that just isn't fun to cover anymore.

3. The idea that Iowa State takes accomplished players from other teams as transfers and coaches em up on how to play a run and gun offense (of which any player can easily learn) is admonished over coaching up a 4 year player like the rest of the league does is not far from dare I say Calipari-esque?

After writing this...no, no I am not rooting for the Cyclones, I wish them all the fate I once did Missouri! Thank you Iowa State. its always much more fun to despise a good rival.

@Jayrawks1

so you'd rather not win the Conference outright at home then see Iowa St. hand us the chance on a silver platter. It will be magical if ISU wins tonight and gives our boys a home game to celebrate #11. What's better than that???

Personal feelings aside about Iowa St. and how much you may dislike them, you root for them to score more points than OU tonight because if Saturday's game involves OU playing for a share of the title its not a good situation.

@BeddieKU23 I can't stand ISU or ksu, and throw in osu!! I look at it like I really, really want OU to lose! That helps me, sorta like OU's loss is our gain!

@Crimsonorblue22

I think we dislike most of the good teams in the league these days each time we play them. ISU certainly has become the new Mizzou. K-St lurks around just enough like last week to make us dislike them. OSU just seems to bring that punk mentality out when they play us. Texas has had its spurts of being a rival.

Tonight we put all that aside for the fact that an OU loss =equals the chance for 16,000 fans to light the Fieldhouse up if we win tomm. I can see it being the type of post game atmosphere that inspires and motivates these kids into the tournament. We all know this is a fragile team and needs confidence. What more than bringing #11 home on our own court.

@BeddieKU23 and, I will be there and I want to experience that!!! Go lose OU!

@beddieku23

I root for Ou tonight in the same breath that I root KU wins outright leaving what anyone else does to be nullified.

However winning the Big 12 outright tomorrow night at home is also a great thing to root for, so in reality, its a win win tonight for me.

Boomer Losers

Can't watch it. I really, honestly, wouldn't be rooting for ISU to win, I'd be rooting for OU to lose. I vowed a few years ago never to watch any sporting event (except the superbowl) just hoping one team would lose. It's almost always a big waste of unsatisfying time.

I hope OU loses of course. But if I watch it, Niang would flop three or four times and piss me off and then I'd just end up torturing myself like I'm starting to do right now.

Can you throw the ball over the hoop and retrieve it yourself without a travel? OU did it. Then a couple of possessions later an obvious double dribble in front of the rec center ref hired by the psuedo-Big 12. Looks like OU has the end with the oversize hoop. We're not getting much help from ISU.

Nice OU flop on the 3 try.

@brooksmd

Just turned it on...OU up early?

@VailHawk ISU forgot how to play

@VailHawk So answer me this. An OU player gets rebound on right side of hoop, takes a shot which goes completely over the hoop without touching anything, he steps to the other side and catches it on the way down before it hits the floor. Legal?

@brooksmd

It used to be a travel but someone told me they changed it to if it was a shot attempt then the shooter can catch it legally

@VailHawk Ok.

@brooksmd Yes, it's like throwing the ball over a player or around a player and then retrieving it...it's a live ball...you can throw it anywhere on the court and retrieve it if the other team is stupid enough to allow you the ball...it's like playing catch with yourself, just don't dribble it

This HARD cheering for the clowns!

@truehawk93 Sounds like legal travel.

See, I love the irony of ISU winning and handing us the title. Imagine the conflict among the clone faithful? I wonder of we could buy a ad on their big board to run in the last 10 seconds?

"The Kansas Jayhawks Thank You For Yet Another Title"

@HighEliteMajor I'll chip in $100 for the billboard.

@HighEliteMajor

PHOF!

@brooksmd You can't walk, but once you pick up your dribble, yes, it's travel...this is why I'm saying don't dribble or walk...just throw and catch...just don't do it with the ball

@brooksmd

I'll throw in a fin (still have kids at home)

ISU doesn't seem to care...they're all good when they're winning, but they seem like it doesn't matter...guarantee you if ISU was playing KU it would be a different story

@VailHawk As long as ya'll keep working and the SS keeps flowing I can afford $100. :wink:

I think ISU could be dead last and no chance of anything, but would show up to play KU...This my friends is the entire B12

@brooksmd

Nice!

Another BS call on ISU.

Good grief what is wrong with ISU at home

@truehawk93

Totally agree! Especially love when teams sell out against us and fans are so passionate then next game arena is half full and lifeless

@truehawk93 Think they've watched to many KU game tapes.

ISU scores!

@VailHawk If I didn't know any better, it appears they don't want this game and are blowing it on purpose

When is Hornichek, Grayer and Fizer checking in?

OMG 35-18 OU

@truehawk93

That sounds like something they'd do!

Did ISU just draw another foul on that flop?

Unbelievably the worst game ever by any ISU team in Ames

7 players ejected in UT-Faylor?

@RedRooster you watching this awful game?

@VailHawk YES ... I don't like the direction it is going either !!! Down 19 .... ugh !

@RedRooster

ISU Weak sauce!

@VailHawk Thank You for the UpVote !! Niang with only 3 points has to get it going !!! I thought they were a better team then what we are seeing tonight !!

@truehawk93
Two fingers After the shot and they bail him out? Me thinks they don't want ISU to come back and keep everyone in the hunt to sell more TV games as they keep many teams in the hunt.

ISU needs to pull their head out!

It's over folks. KU will have to beat WVU and it appears they want that game to be a trap for KU.

It doesn't surprise me how the B12 is building up OU v. KU in Norman. They are all anxious for an upset. It would be the biggest bball story this year. OU will have a ton of confidence at home.

I've given up on ISU winning this one for us. Lonnie's got himself a pretty good team. This is what veteran teams look like.

@rocketdog

"We're" comin back!

ISU making a little comeback look convincing. ISU should at least be playing for some pride. I don't mind them losing, but not like this. This is too easy and obvious.

Looks like the crowd is pulling them back into this game !! `12 points out now ... was 18 at half time !!

@RedRooster

It's us! We're willing them back in it!

@VailHawk Amen brother !! They are playing pretty good right now. Love the crowd !!

I'd MO3 was here she'd complain about the blond ref

Oh good grief, they're actually making a comeback. What a bunch of schizos.

Finally OU didn't get the flop call on a 3.

Now they had a timeout to decide they want to play and end this strong.

Wow!!!!

Love that piped in music

WOW...down three, are you kidding me

here they come

And it's a game. Rock Chalk Clones!

It's working. No way they come back. This game was over at the half. The magic is gone. Brent said so. Just gotta keep a negative attitude. It's working!

@rocketdog Mushmouth?

Was that the clown who went after HCBS?

@brooksmd

Funny I was just thinking of him!

WOW !!!! It was a 3 !!!

And 1

A basket here and the roof lifts off Hilton

This is really impressive

!self and retard ISU fan.jpg ↗

Waxler, Wigwam, Wax on Wax off?

!self and security.jpg ↗
Here he is in all his glory...What a proud ISU moment

Isn't his name Melvin Waxler

@truehawk93

Classic!

Ever wonder if muskburger has sexually harassed Holly?

This game is OVER

!ISU Fan.jpg ↗

Lets be fair

@VailHawk there you go. Wait. You don't really think the clowns are gonna pull this off? Magic is gone damnit.

This is the ISU WE know.

Hilton Magic !!!!!!

finally...the real ISU

I think the others were imposters or look alikes.

5`1 ISU to 25 OU in the second half !! It is over and I don't need any more from Franchilla either !!

Got called in and OU was trouncing iSu. Radio says ISu is going crazy this half. 52 points this half?!?

@Kip_McSmithers

Yep, WE WILLED THIS HERE ON KUBUCKETS!!!

@RedRooster

What's the score? I'm putting my 8 yr old daughter down

@Kip_McSmithers You are right .... this Buckets team pulled them through !!

@VailHawk 69-62 less than 3 to go.

@VailHawk 69 to 62 !!

thx

@VailHawk But ISU just had a stupid TO.

At half time, Fred convinced his guys they were playing the Jayhawks.

@VailHawk 2:28

The Mayor had a town hall mtg and the vote was unanimous to win

@brooksmd

Almost done! Score?

@VailHawk 71-62 1:21

Strangest game...boy was I fooled. I wonder how OU feels after this game. They had this game won.

OU had a 21 pt lead. What does that say about OU?

@truehawk93 Ain't over yet

Franchilla ..... Just be quiet !!!

@RedRooster Frannie has a semi for OU bball

Made it to a tv. Those iSu students sure make it hard for me to want them to win....

I'm back. Have they mentioned KU?

@VailHawk WHO??

@VailHawk said:

I'm back. Have they mentioned KU?

Yes, the students were holding up their index finger so I assume they were talking about KU.....

@Kip_McSmithers PHOF!!!

@Kip_McSmithers

PHOF!

Who's worse, ISU or KSU fans?

Motel 6 thanks you for the shout out...

I hear some Crown 75th calling me.

@Kip_McSmithers

You showed up late but you brought your A game!

@VailHawk KSU Fans of both teams boo more than any teams fans I've ever heard.

@VailHawk We're about to see.

11 in the ROW! RCJH!

@wissoxfan83

Agreed

@VailHawk said:

Who's worse, ISU or KSU fans?

iSu didn't storm the court this year. But the Weathermax incident and aftermath was bad two years ago. Thats a tough one.

Ball game...11th straight for KU...NOW KU takes care of business against WVU and we're good

Time for a Great Senior Nite tomorrow! Win it outright and celebrate!

Don't know the point spread but I think ISU is gonna cover

Nobody but Kansas fans want to see #11 go to the Hawks

Do we need to Storm our Court tomorrow? Haha

Game Over !!! Now I HATE ISU again !! Who are they anyway? Just a door-stop to hold the door open for KU !

It would be nice if Brent and Fran recognized our efforts here tonite

Have they even mentioned this guarantees KU at minimum a share of #11 in a row?

Now let's add a FF or NC to #11

@Shanghai_RCJH

PHOF!

welp, that's it. season is dead. good bye.

Amazing! History is made thanks to the rest of the B12! They all have to hate the fact that they gave it to us.

Shout out from SVP

@Shanghai_RCJH Hell yeah...and shoulder bump every moron in the Phog...I'd seek out Holly Rowe and shoulder bump her and then sue her for media harrassment

I could win too. That's a case waiting to happen.

You gotta love Holly and dang it people like her.

@Kip_McSmithers

Really?

@Blown NO...they can't stand it.

Now the only question is when will they present the trophy?

I am thinking about the Clone fan's post (Jaybate like) and how he/she feels now. Also, how does Melvin feels now? His beloved team handed us the trophy. haha

@Shanghai_RCJH oh the irony!

Cheers! RCJH #11

!image.jpg ↗

It'll be fun to beat the Clowns in the B12 tourney

@brooksmd Take a sip for me and cheers

@brooksmd

Take your next sip for me!

Salud!

Texas-Baylor fight. You think the Big12 does anything to the instigator (Taylor) that wasn't ejected? Barnes denies seeing anything happen. Then Texas (mostly Taylor again) acts like fools and taunts Baylor after the game while they're leaving the court. Barnes needs to get control of his crew. Last week Holmes throws the blatant bow. This week a bench clearing.

Prost!

@VailHawk Yes in the opening of Sports Center

@Kip_McSmithers I agreed with this thought until I saw the replay. IT looked like the baylor player drove his elbow into Taylors face while rolling off.

@Kip_McSmithers

Yeah I just rewound it. I dig SVP, listen to his show quite a bit

@Blown Baylor guy started it then? You think either gets reprimanded?

@Kip_McSmithers Probably not. They like the Drama. They can talk about that instead of us being...

Go Christian Garrett, make your 1st and last Start counts! RCJH!

Try to be best

Never doubt that you’re the one
And you can have your dreams!

You’re the best!

It's great being able to celebrate #11 with all of you! I'm enjoying a little Cabernet Sav

Rock Chalk!

@bskeet

Totally. I'm having some sleepy time tea and gonna watch some House of Cards

@Blown

Was that an original?

If there is an award for COD (D=Decade), what would Dicky V say?

Lol, I wish. I tried to import the Karate Kid video (that is the original sound track).

@Blown

Well played!

You know the song, right?

Taylor is a punk. He instigated that whole mess. He should've got up and walked away. It wasn't enough they were winning. He had to get a Napolean complex.

11!!!!! I normally don't get too excited about our streak but it really is mind boggling

@Blown Just grab the share link from youtube and post it.

How did I make the font bigger?

@VailHawk the tea did it

@VailHawk the # (hash) at the beginning of a line controls the font size

@bskeet

COOL!!!

I can guarantee it will be KU against the entire B12 tomorrow. Every team in the conference will want to see KU lose to WVU. WVU will have the entire conference behind them. Tomorrow, every B12 fan will be a WVU fan, except KU fans of course.

@truehawk93

Good thing they'll be roughly 16k cheering for the good guys

@VailHawk The guys need to put an exclamation mark on the game tomorrow and send a message to the entire B12, including OU.[link text](

Watched the game- got nervous. But they won!

@Kip_McSmithers think bilas called Barnes and told him there was a foul?
