@kjayhawks unless he gets his 20% national sales tax. That would be super super bad
Now that would piss people off (rightfully)
@benshawks08 Having gone through this with a relative that had insurance vs one that didn't, honestly not having insurance has been the better experience. Of course, I'll have to negotiate the bills...
I hope the Chiefs end up the worst 20-0 team ever
@Crimsonorblue22 I like to think I do what anyone else would in my situation but thanks
@benshawks08 sports helps lol
And thanks everyone for reaching out
@benshawks08 he doesn't have insurance but I am actually handling all that stuff in general for him as he is autistic. I got the ball rolling on leave of absence from his job, medicaid etc

@wissox so… whats mind blowing is that hispanics went +9 biden in 2020 and +6 Trump in 2024. Democrats really f’d they one up.
I have a lot of thoughts about this election but the Hispanic shift is huge. I'm guessing Arabs swung MI. Will probably post more later but need to take my brother to the hospital to get a port put in for chemo.
I think I'll be at Oakland and Brown games. UNC will be absolutely electric though
The Dems got belt to ass this cycle. Changes are needed.
Diggy is what he likes to be called apparently
@dylans said in 2024 NFL Season:
Nuk is amazing. He catching everything. It’s such a nice option.
Took all of one week to start clicking with Pat. If they actually get Pacheco and Hollywood back for the playoffs oh boy
@tundrahok said in Howard Game Thread:
I think it's still 0 in basketball. Up to 4 in football.
Yeah zero in basketball but coaches are trying to change that.
@RockChalkinTexas said in Howard Game Thread:
@Bosthawk he wasn't suited up and Wayne Simien talked about the possibility and mentioned others who were juniors who redshirted. Coach mentioned it somewhere too.
Redshirt is official per KU reporters
@DanR said in Howard Game Thread:
Hunter still shaking off the rust
Looks a bit fat (a subject I know all about)
@DanR said in Howard Game Thread:
@BShark Did you mention in another thread that Bidunga might be a one year guy? Please say it ain't so. Is it because international NIL crap (like Furphy) or what?
If he is a top 10 draft pick, KU can't really match that kind of money. We will have to see how the season progresses but he has unreal athleticism.
@BeddieKU23 said in Howard Game Thread:
The bench outscored the starters 28-18. What a real difference
Unfathomable last year
@kjayhawks said in Howard Game Thread:
Place looks half full
Yeah weather + election + Chiefs = one of the worst crowds I can remember
@DanR Coit
We good.
Starting line-up is indeed Juan/Diggy/Rylan/KJ/Hunter
@HoraceZontal said in Darryn Bucket Jones Peterson:
@BShark I love your excitement about him. It’s infectious. I look forward to finding some film.
Since he is at Prolific Prep, we should be able to watch several of his games this year.
The defense too... Crazy wing span and an engaged defender. DP/Kease/Flory is an incredible defensive core for next year.
Kid needs his own thread. Talk about a bucket getter, just tremendously skilled. A stat sheet stuffer as well. I think he should end up with the most shot attempts per game for a Freshman in the Self era. To some extent that will depend on our roster make-up but someone this good, Bill will want him shooting the rock.
@dylans said in Basketball Season:
@BShark If Zach needs to play meaningful minutes KU is in trouble.
Can't imagine he plays outside of walk-on minutes.
@approxinfinity said in Basketball Season:
@kjayhawks when it was 70-29 it was a thorough stomping. We putzed around the rest of the way.
Yeah, the two stretches to start each half were good. Then Jamari and Zach got time lol
@BShark Yeah. Worse than that 11-0 Pittsburgh team or the 6-0 chiefs a few years back. Definitely worst than those teams. lol gotta love the hyperbole. The Chiefs aren’t winning the way the media wants, Spags is cookin’!
Yeah they are bored and it's easy/free engagement. In general, I've never felt more comfortable about Chiefs games. They simply know how to win.
@drgnslayr Zach shouldn't play a real minute and Hunt will definitely help with rebounding.
Understandable. The NFL is generally a very good product but I even like college football more than it typically for the chaos.
@kjayhawks I'm done with football again. Lance is a whiner and a scam artist. To turn in this season after playing the AD the last two offseasons. :face_with_rolling_eyes:
@BeddieKU23 Storr and Kease both tried to blow the roof off the place. Love to see it, none of our guards last year are attempting that.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Washburn:
@BShark not a Chiefs fan?
Not when KU is on :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Washburn:
Anybody know why there isn't a pre or post game anymore?
There is on radio, do you mean espn+?
@FarmerJayhawk said in Washburn:
Nice win. Got everyone some run, stayed healthy. It counts Monday!
Need Monday here already. I will NOT be watching the Chiefs either.
@approxinfinity said in Washburn:
I like Coit. No fear.
Has the right mentality for sure. He was getting open looks against Arkansas too, they just didn't go in. D1 proven guy though it was the MAC.
Rylan is a starter IMO
@tundrahok said in Washburn:
8 made 3s is nice. But seems like we should make more 2s against a D2 school.
No post presence w/o Hunt
@Jhawk69 said in Basketball Season:
I almost cannot believe that I am reading posts saying that Self bungled Frank Mason's development. I would argue that Self's development of Frank is among the most impressive examples of player development I have ever seen.
It really is unbelievable but goes to show how disingenuous some people like to be.
We are talking about a guy that the staff discovered in a back gym who was not a top 100 recruit when he committed. People on the boards were upset that we took him.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Basketball Season:
@kuballin10 Swain, Bossi, Noel, @BShark, etc etc. It’s very well known his family wanted him closer to home after he went to high school at Link
Familiar friends and weed. Only reason he wasn't already staying home is because the assistant that recruited him to Auburn left so he opened his recruitment back up. Once Alabama had a large exodus of players it was a done deal.

@Kcmatt7 said in Basketball Season:
@BeddieKU23 the fit was always weird. A guy who is a ball stopper that doesn’t play D coming to a school that moves the rock and is expected to play D.
I think he figures it out but it’s kind of Like Malik Newman where it may take some time.
Always the possibility Griffen knocks him out of the starting lineup as well. And the Storr comes in as a “2nd unit” type of guy and that fits him better.
If Storr is a bench player, that's a miss from all involved. As one of the "premiere players" that entered the portal with proven scoring production in the Big-10, I fail to see how this isn't a miss if that's the direction it goes. I'm hopeful for the opposite but it's not like we have a perfect hit rate with transfers either, just look at last year. If Storr was your top transfer player and you paid a lot for him, you better get our money's worth in a sense.
I wouldn't be surprised if he follows a Malik or Remy situation. The end result with both was positive.
Griffen was IMO the one I had the most confidence in transitioning to a significant role. 3 and D type guy, perhaps spread the floor more playing the 4 if possible next to Hunter. I think he's a starter and I'd play him over KJ personally but that's another subject matter..
It wouldn't be a great look that's for sure. That said I've heard it likely won't go as far south as the Remy situation in part because Storr can not afford for it to. At least Bill acknowledged that he's screwed him up a bit, hopefully it gets resolved.
Interestingly Torvik projected around 12ppg for Storr. At first I laughed it off but if the team is balanced I think that largely makes sense. Last year at Wisconsin he had the same kind of volume/load that Kevin did at Kansas, with similar efficiency. So if KU is better and he buys in, he may end up around 10-12 ppg.
I'm looking forward to seeing Rylan and Shak tonight. Last I had heard we were trending towards Rylan being the primary back-up 4, in addition to other roles.
The Juan D2 thing is the dumbest thing I've read on this board
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Basketball Season:
@approxinfinity said in Basketball Season:
I just want the offense to look better than it did.
Dajuan was the only guy scoring! Thats crazy.Yep. Total weirdness with Juan scoring.
I’m just gonna assume we had no offensive game plan installed, so he couldn’t set anybody up to score.
Tuesday will tell us a tiny bit more.
That and missing 3 rotation players (including our best player).
Thankfully it's still October. Hopefully we look a lot better in March.
@FarmerJayhawk Moments before tragedy
@AsadZ said in Basketball Season:
@BeddieKU23 I am surprised about Zack because Self had praised him immensely during offseason, not sure what was that all about.
Bill lying in the offseason, classic.
@dylans said in Basketball Season:
Well, that was underwhelming. Uglier than the NFL preseason.
Felt like a preseason game honestly.
My only real takeaways: Zach and Jamari are not P4 players, you can't play KJ next to Flory so with Hunt back it needs to be like a line change in hockey where we have a guard at the 4 when Flory is giving Hunt a breather.
