I'm gonna try!!!

Do it, 4:25 here.

2:30 AM here. Only place in the US that would have a fair shot is Hawaii, with an 11:30pm start.

@bskeet wish I was there! Hawaii

@bskeet I'd still trade u, could go back to bed.

@VailHawk

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE MAN, IF YOU GET UP FOR THIS ONE. MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU, SIR!!!!!!

THE BASKETBALL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY HAS JUST AWARDED YOU THE BASKETBALL MEDAL OF HONOR--THE HIGHEST HONOR BESTOWED ON THOSE IN THE FIELD OF BASKETBALL INTELLIGENCE.

ROCK CHALK!!!

@jaybate-1.0 what about me?

@Crimsonorblue22

As Director of the BIA, I am authorized to offer you an exciting and challenging career in the spooky field of basketball intelligence, a subset of the world largest growth industry--Big Intelligence. We spy and sleuth for the inside scoop on all facets of basketball. Alas, we operate on a shoe string budget and on a volunteer basis for now. We hope that if we do great enough service to national basketball security that one day the Senate and Congress will pass the long lobbied for National Basketball Security Act that institutes and funds a National Basketball Security Agency (NBSA) and enables the Director of the NBSA to sit in at cabinet meetings and advise the President on what is really going on in college basketball, so that he can take appropriate action to ensure that KU goes back to getting its fair share of the top talent. But it is not yet clear when this legislation will be enacted. Until that time, I am authorized to gratefully accept you as a volunteer agent in the BIA with similar rank and privileges to @Vailhawk who heads up our Rocky Mountain Bureau. In addition, it is a great honor and privilege to offer you the same Presidential Commendation and Basketball Medal of Honor for being an ABSOLUTE WOMAN for staying up to watch the KUSA-Russia game tonight. Truly, you, too, are acting above and beyond the call of duty. Rock Chalk!

@jaybate-1.0 If there is one thing 20 years in the AF taught me, it's "don't be first, don't be last, and NEVER volunteer."

@brooksmd

As Director of the BIA, I am authorized to...HOWL!!!!!!

Also, the BIA has an opening for a bureau chief and a case officer on the east coast. If I recall that is where you hail from.

I am not authorized to reveal the source of the following, but read it and weep.

"for official eyes only: @brooksmd is hereby ORDERED to volunteer for duty as bureau chief of BIA in Fredrick MD, as part of fulfillment of his USAF Reserve obligation. Respectfully submitted, Woolsey C. Clark III, Over-and-Under Secretary of the Department of Basketball Defense

As my father used to say, no one in the military is ever fully retired, until death.

Sunday, 4:15 a.m. in the MO Ozarks. Ready to roll!

Where the hell is the game though. Not showing up on the watchespnapp under wug or front page.

This Russian team is waaaay better than our previous opponents

Nic with a 3

If we want to win right now don't give it to ellis, where is his head

Vick let's roll buddy!!!

TV seems kind of bright at this hour.

Refs calling it tight

Germany won so that's who we play if we win this.

@RockChalkinTexas

Just like WWII

@RockChalkinTexas

New avatar?

Have to make shots and we are definitely not doing it e nough

Vick

Of course Mari dropped that. Come on guys we are a tired bunch

Get the ruskies in foul trouble

Vick great pass but jam tray can't catch

Lucas man

ugly shooting percentage in that first quarter

Who's wins in game of horse between Lucas and jam tray?

The strategy seems to be to try to run them into the ground... might work

That was probably our worst quarter since the first game. One Russian guy makes shots, ellis missed 6

@DanR

In da house!!!!

Selden is insane woweww

Wow

Ellis= brick blachole

Hey Vail. Missed the last couple live cats due to some traveling.

chats. I don't have cats

@DanR I wouldn't miss them either

@VailHawk yeah had to say bye to Kelly

@DanR

Getting up for this makes up for it!

These refs suckkk

Selden hit in the face and th en they call a touch foul, smh

Did Bragg just block the 7'3" commie?!?!

Is this a game on someone else's homecourt definitely feels like it with the calls

Got to make the bunnies

@VailHawk 2times

Bulldog

Nice Ellis!

@jaybate-1.0

Would be happy to see Russia is a Nike stack

Frank

Wooohoooo

Mick!!!

Nice hustle by hunter.

And 1

Is everyone on here tired?!?!

I am listening to the Rocky 4 soundtrack and watching the game at the same time.

Go USA!

If Diallo is slow to learn hunter starts at 5 he's a difference in there

Yes!

Wow

This might be the first time in Mickelson's career that he's not the whitest guy in the gym. The russian center glows.

@VailHawk nope. Took nap yesterday.

Think selden got his hops back? Man

@KirkIsMyHinrich

PHOF

Vick has loooooong arms

12-0 run stopped.

@Crimsonorblue22

Vick may become my fav soon

Odd lineup

@BeddieKU23 working

I like the pace

I like Vick

Vick that was awesome

@Crimsonorblue22 definitely

@VailHawk faster the better for us!

I'm dead tired

Love the way Vick gets better every game

@Crimsonorblue22

You need nugenix!

@VailHawk I do?

Mari trying to do too much

Vick the stick!

3's killing us and water

Well that lead went away in 10 seconds

All started with their pg linebacking mason to th floor

@Crimsonorblue22

Was just responding to your dead tired comment!

Selden come on

My lovely wife just came down, gave me a WTF look and went back up to bed.

No dedication

@VailHawk what is it?

Ellis!!

Wow what a bad call

Ll is to obvious!

Selden needs to work on handles!

@Crimsonorblue22

Some silly product advertised at every commercial break here!

We get the dry end of the court in the second half.

I'm impressed how well we turned out here! Good jobs Jayhawk fans💙🏀❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

@VailHawk I'm realllllly slow!!!

DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@DanR

My wife said "what are you doing?"

I said "watching the Jayhawks!"

She said "won't you be tired?"

I said "probably"

Moore in foul trouble?

Another phantom call to end the half up 42-39

@Crimsonorblue22

I think his defense was so bad Self just stayed w Vick

@VailHawk I would have just recorded the game, but I don't trust my wife to not look up the score while I'm watching it later and be all smug about knowing who won.

@VailHawk Ellis cold to start?

@Crimsonorblue22 Ellis had a jam off the opening tip, then missed the next 4 or 5 shots for KUSA.

Looks like they r mainly hitting 3's??

@Crimsonorblue22

Luke warm

@Crimsonorblue22 and in the corners. We got to guard better.

@DanR

My wife graduated from Indiana so there is built in tension/jealousy from her side!

@jaybate-1.0 Sorry chief, but I'm located down in da bayou. Louisiana.

Perry has 14.

Ellis has 14 at the half

@brooksmd is Jaybate here? Or u having a dream?

I've decided I really want to win this game!!!

Should have over 20

@VailHawk More than ever to stick it to Putin.

@VailHawk nice decision! I'd b pissed if we lost!!! At this hour

Did Hunter start out good?

@Crimsonorblue22 No, saw where he made me eastern boss or something and was just letting him know I ain't in the east.

@Crimsonorblue22 Hunter played well. Just picked up a couple fouls

@brooksmd different post?

I don't think the Russian players have recovered from the first quarter track meet

Ellis can drive on him

He did walk, nit nearly

I like that Vick started instead of the smu loaner

Mason

So nice to have announcers that r excited by our team

Need boards

I'm starting to think coffee

@Crimsonorblue22

I'm still thinking sleep after the win

@VailHawk me too, sounds good

Selden

I broke down at halftime and had a cup. Probably will regret that when the game is over.

More like rugby than bball.

Thank u guys that stood up for us gals!💃

i hope summer Selden plays this way this winter

Hell, it's getting light and the birds are making a racket, so I'm probably not going back to sleep anyway.

@DanR where r u?

@Crimsonorblue22 LFK

@VailHawk And spring.

Selden :-)

That shot sucked big guy!

Yes, shocker!!!

LL looking good tonite.

Nice pass!!

Mason-Lucas combo working

First time I've seen that hook called that I can recall

Nice pass

Lucas must have read my comment about horse game w jam tray

The ruskie coach looks like he snorting something. Constantly does it.

Where did this LL come from? Playing great under the hoop.

@brooksmd he's catching the ball!

@VailHawk I'll always be a Traylor fan!

Woooohooo go!!

Boom

Nice steal from moore

Lucas quit that crap!

Moore has been about worthless in this game

Snacks looks hungry

Dagger?

Shit!

It's the pink shoes

Crappy last few possessions in the third quarter.

Koreans rooting for Russia? Oh, it's on now!!!

Dang, that hurt for end of qtr shot.

@DanR do u go to games at AFH?

good morning

@KUSTEVE lil late, got breakfast?

@KUSTEVE That's all you got to say for yourself? Where you been Jethro?

i'd take some coffee, please...

@KUSTEVE

Bout time sleepyhead!

lol....

looks like we're rocking against the ruskies...anyone used the commy bastard line yet?

@KUSTEVE 7 in Florida!

Good d!!

Let's go Jayhawks clap clap clap clap clap

Bragg not there yet.

@Crimsonorblue22 I try to get to a game or two a year at AFH.

the russian coach...wasn't he a villian in a james bond movie?

@KUSTEVE

PHOF

@brooksmd do u have peddle pusher pants like them?

@DanR I have an extra ticket once in awhile. Top row though

💩

Moore's shooting is killing us

COME ON!

Nic Moore is allegedly a good shooter

Selden

Boom

Please, no moore.

@VailHawk again

Boom

Way to go, Wayne~

Ellis needs to not take the big dude all the way in

You guys ahead of me on broadcast

Light here too

Love the to's

Big 3

Wayne looks like he could just go get a bucket whenever he wants.

Moore all is forgiven!

Thank god, Moore finally hit one.

Perry smooth

@DanR

Then he got beat on D

@DanR 🙏

Perry saved that move for just the right time

These refs are kids of 72 Olympic refs

Bonus

I'll give the announcers some credit for pronouncing the russian players' names with confidence. Have no idea how accurate they are though.

I hate that call

Missed throws👍

so, who has been the star for us?

Perry Perry

Oh my!!!!

Selden

Sweet drive and beating the big guy by Selden.

Worth getting up early just to see that jam by Selden

I like these Memphis free throws

I see defeat in the Russian player's eyes.

@RockChalkinTexas You find another computer to chat on?

Five posts in a row nbd

wayne is limping...geez....

@KUSTEVE I think he caught a knee

Get a bucket!

Lucas is gonna get a moving screen call soon

@brooksmd yes, the one my boss bought me I cranked up and trying not to wake the hubby

Thank u!❤️🏀💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

PE

@brooksmd who's going back to bed?

@Crimsonorblue22

Pick me pick me!

Russia can't stop comrade Ellis; they can only hope to contain him.

@DanR would we know if they didn't? I wouldn't!

Not me, I'm up now.

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Make up call from 72

@VailHawk good one! Go to bed now!

Guy walked

Why was that not a foul when PE got mugged?

Sleep then church then rafting then sleep

With a win it calls for some "celebration"

clean block all the way.....

Need these ft now.

@VailHawk kid from WSU was killed last week rafting, said 3 rd this year. Be careful

@Crimsonorblue22

Bummer. Will do

Let's hear some rock chalk!!!!

ROCK CHALK USA

Dr. NO doesn't look very happy....

USA. USA. USA.

GOLD MEDAL COMING UP......

@KUSTEVE No. And Spectre does not tolerate failure...

Guys having fun! I want to keep the announcers!

Think the ruskie coach will be spending time in Siberia this summer?

Time tmrw? 7 am?

!image.jpg ↗

@VailHawk so//perry and wayne had 20+ points...how about frank?

@Crimsonorblue22 That's what my guide says.

Sun coming up here! Must try to sleep tho!

@VailHawk Been up here.

@KUSTEVE

Frank is a BULLDOG!!!

@VailHawk back to bed!! Way to get up and support ❤️🏀💙

I think we will miss the 2 add ons, seem like great kids that are really thrilled to play w/us.

@VailHawk Don't you have to take Lily out for a jog first?

@brooksmd rio has slept the whole game, better stay that way! Good pm! See ya for royals game

Rock chalk all!

@Crimsonorblue22 I thought mine would sleep through but they all ganged up on me at the start of the 4th.

@Crimsonorblue22 And then the procedure when they come in is vitamins, pain meds for the big guy and greenies.

Hey, we need you ladies in here. Can you imagine how bad this place would smell if we didn't have some ladies here?

I set my alarm this morning and actually got my ass out of bed! It was worth it! I still cant get over how Selden has turned a corner and is looking like what I had envisioned when he was starting next to Wiggins! Lucas actually looked good several times. I like how Mason and company was able to accurately feed the post players. Its starting to look like a real KU basketball team.

Congrats to all fans that stayed up late or woke up early as the case might be; you are truly fan-atics.

I had forgot that all 6 computers I use are set up to start the weekly deep scan and full back up at 4:00 AM so they were pretty much unusable. However, I was partially with you all watching the game and the posts in thischat on my cell phone but unable to post. Sometimes you gotta love ...and hate ...technology.

Great win for team KUSA!!!

Nice job to all here.. woke up too late here as well.. Still dark anyway.. going back to bed... Will have sweet dreams now!

Rock Chalk all day and all night!

@VailHawk YES!! YES!! Man Im so happy we won! Guaranteed at least Silver at this point. I wasnt able to watch but This is so awesome!!!

@RockChalkinTexas More like coaching the Siberian team this winter. :snowman: :snowman: :snowman:

@brooksmd I meant siberia but it was too damn early.

@RockChalkinTexas I wondered about that.
