I sure hope Bill isn't just blowing smoke about Mitch in this article.

tl;dr

Dotson is leaving, don't expect anyone else to leave or be added.

@justanotherfan Morris twins are always a package deal in my mind anyway.

@FarmerJayhawk @BeddieKU23 Looks like a better fit than Aiken to me.

KU Team Picking Thinger • Mar 23, 2020 01:25 PM

@dylans in my mind I was envisioning final products. At the very least everyone gets to SR year. Might have been better with Mario. Raining threes either way.

So it was Graham, Dot, Rush, Svi, Embiid or sub in Mario for Dot. Honestly how damn good does Graham, Mario, Rush, Jackson, Embiid look? Damn.

KU Team Picking Thinger • Mar 23, 2020 01:22 PM

I went back and forth on Dotson and Chalmers for my 2nd guard spot.

KU Team Picking Thinger • Mar 23, 2020 01:20 PM

Josh's final % ended up much better than I remembered. His shot never looked good to me.

@dylans That was my recollection as well. I looked and it was a different time especially for Bill but Releford in 700 more minutes took about 20 more threes than FR Braun did.

Nigerians apparently aren't as familiar with the need to listen skeptically to wild-ass claims as most Americans are, sadly.

And this is a large part of the danger of Trump making dumb comments! More human lives lost...

@DoubleDD said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

See what @FarmerJayhawk isnt telling you. You need the house and the senate to pass a stimulus package. Yet it’s easier to blame Trump.

Dude I literally just blamed Congress for the lack of stimulus. Plenty to go around.

What is Pelosi doiiing jfc.

@kjayhawks It's super not great that's for sure. A reset of sorts.

This seems good.

Good thing no one is struggling financially in the mean time...

Both parties still pulling this crap. Just get it done!

I'd ever there was a time to cut the bs it is now.

@jayballer73 agree and it needs to be done.

Mercy just check the Corona virus update site. I checked it for the 1st time of the day at like 10:25 a.m. this morning and we were at 27,125 cases this morning with total deaths at 3340 - - - -just three hours latter dam thing has exploded in a three hour time span we went from 27,125 cases to - - - 38,221 cases a jump of over 11,000 cases holy cats. - -went from 3340 deaths to 396 deaths mercy.

Also looks like Louisiana getting ready to become the 4th State to going into total shutdown, getting ready to announce is what came across just now.

Yeah this is really bad! It's both good and bad that it is minor for some people. Good that people can survive but bad because it means people were spreading it without knowing.

Louisiana is quickly becoming triage. Folks out during Mardi gras...

@RockkChalkk said in KU Team Picking Thinger:

For me: Frank ($5), TRob ($5), DDot ($3), Josh ($1), and Rele ($1). That was my first gut reaction/picks because Svi turned it over too much for my liking but upon second thought he would actually fit great in that team with the two point guards and basically could just be the 3 point sniper.

Interesting line-up but not much shooting. Releford basically had to be wide open.

@kjayhawks strongly agree! Udoka is not replaceable.

@DoubleDD Agree!

Also in case you missed this: https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/28/politics/harvard-professor-chinese-nationals-arrest-espionage/index.html ↗

Lots of blame to go around with this. I think some things were deliberate but that's for another time and thread.

I just post too much. :D

Absolutely not.

@approxinfinity runs the site.

@DoubleDD said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@BShark

You want to show me that you’re fair and balanced on this website? I was just called a homophobe by @Crimsonorblue22. Are you going to correct or not?

What do you want me to do? I'm a regular user same as you. If you have a strong complaint maybe take it up with approx? But I'd like to think we could self police and all just cut that out.

@DoubleDD You are just automatically attacking based on Ds and Rs. I don't like Biden, I've been clear about that on this forum even.

Never said Trump is shouldering all the blame either. China had a hand in it, so did Bill Gates, that Harvard professor etc... But to act like Trump is free and clear? No he has cost American lives in his handling of this. I'd say the same thing no matter the letter next to the president's name.

@DoubleDD said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

So your boy Biden

Okay, now I know you are trolling.

I'll still be here when the death tolls in the US start rising to gross numbers.

@DoubleDD Taking this seriously in January would have been a start. Instead we are seeing the beginning of triage in states like Louisiana.

Too many MUH FREEDOM types in the US. And look freedom is good but there is a time to shut up and listen. That time probably involves a horrible disease.

But I know he’s a racist that’s only reason you want to do it because he’s a racist. LOL

Calling it the China virus helps literally nothing. That's some shit to play to his base.

Playing political correctness is not the time. Did notice those originate in China. Do not try to blame US military for this virus? And you’re protecting China? Wow

That's. Not. The. Name. Calling it that just doesn't help anything. The ONLY thing it can do is incite real racism. Asians are scared and buying guns over this. What's not to understand here?

If you have read my posts you will know not only am I putting blame on China, but I think they covered up millions of deaths. Where did I blame the US military for anything? Slow response to a tricky virus has cost human lives, public not taking it seriously enough due to poor messaging has not helped. Puts us in the same boat as Italy or worse. Compare to other countries that took it seriously, tested rigorously and isolated sooner.

Last time I checked almost every country in Europe is in lockdown mode so would it advantage are you talking about

@DoubleDD what a dumb thing to say!

So dumb? How come the Chinese government didn’t let the world know about this virus. Yeah you’re going to defend them? How many lives could have been saved? All because you want a D president. No you’re dumb

We knew about this last year, Trump literally ignored it. No way around this.

You seem confused. Lockdown is the correct thing to do and the sooner the better, we were slow about that and testing compared to some other countries.

No you wasn’t. I seen your post. Do you like a transgender person oh I’m a male and a female. No I’m a Democrat no I’m a Republican

Transgender rights are human rights.

This clown too.

Trump and news outlets that downplayed this when there was info and warnings have blood on their hands imo.

Dave is likely going to improve and get some slack from the refs. I think more than anything we need Mitch as a back-up 5.

@Crimsonorblue22 didn't want big numbers hurting that re-election campaign.

Maybe we should have been taking this seriously in January.

I fear Italy's worst day so far will be one a number of countries will in the future wish they could limit their losses to.

Hate to be a downer, but that curve is going close to straight up and will for awhile until it starts to flatten out. I suspect for 12 to 18 months we will see ups and downs and wild swings as we realize that economic activity cannot stop entirely and as people get exposed in waves. I hope I am wrong, but I think people need to know the need to prepare for mre dufficulties than we could have ever imagined.

I would be more optimistic if they had a firm idea of whether anyone is immune after recovering. But with over 300,000 cases worldwide, they still do not seem to know because of the difficulty in knowing if people got ill a second time or just were declared recovered incorrectly. A vaccine depends on knowing that progression accurately.

Yes. This won't just go away. Like every other virus it will mutate. We need this period though to reduce infection rate. This has been around for longer than we thought too. My friend's son was sick in September. Bad fever and cough for two weeks, had to get an inhaler. Drs had no real idea what to make of it but in hindsight it would seems to have been corona.

The best thing anyone can do is be clean. I got knocked on my ass by a virus in 2017 and have been a lot more serious since then. Got more active, lost weight, eating better and washing my hands a lot more. I was lazy about washing my hands but having to crawl set me straight.

If Mitch starts and Bill goes back to two bigs I might have a bonfire with some alumni shirts. Please no, Bill.

@Crimsonorblue22 Trump's stupidity is infuriating but I've caught snippets on Twitter.
