@DCHawker I don't know much about Lunardi, but is he only a fortune teller? He doesn't work for the selection committee?
Espn guys picked us, all of them! Jay said if Self wins this they should put 2 statues up of him. Finally getting respect!
@drgnslayr I'm not arguing about that w/you! For example, Kelly's game against TCU, take it to the hole, exactly what we needed! But when wigs did it, he was a ball hog. Check out the assists. I'm done.
Did any of you see the espn spot about the perception of coach cal? And, Bobby knights speech about how the Kentucky coach vacated 2 schools wins and yet he is still allowed to coach. Go coach knight!
@Jyhwk_InTigrtwn I'm still a wiggins fan over oubre. But, close. I think oubre depends on his long arms and doesn't move his feet as well on ball. He does that and he can be as good of defender as wiggs. Wigs is guarding the greats of the nba and has earned their respect. I do love them both. I think oubre can get better w/another year, work on strength and rt hand. Wonder if his dad is still standing by his wanting him to get an education? Doubt it.
@FarSideHawk simply awesome!!
@brooksmd I remember that!!!
@jaybate-1.0 I love it when you talk dirty!!!❤️💙👏👏👏🏀jk!
@Lulufulu me too!!!
@Shanghai_RCJH Svi!
@drgnslayr puking!
@Hawk8086 I know I would take Bill Self over jay wright, pretty boy!!
@Shanghai_RCJH I'm not a Lunardi fan, pretty much don't like many people lately, Dodd, jack Harry and most of all, mushy and Fran! Oh and the flippn hair ISU feminine acting player! He is good though.
@Jyhwk_InTigrtwn those transition passes, Dg and oubre are ones that come to mind!!!
Any thoughts about today? I know there are way to many ISU fans there! I can't stand that hair flipping actress! Think Lucas can hang? 4-1?
@jaybate-1.0 sounds good to me!
@globaljaybird I knew about jack Harry and have seen his bad mouthing hawks moments. Surprised he hasn't been fired for some things out of his mouth!!
My boys sagged in high school, all their friend sagged. It's an age thing. Not as many do it now as they use to. Most wore a pair of shorts under their clothes, so it wasn't bad. You could never see the rear end.

There's no place like home plate. That's exactly what the Jackson Generals of the Southern League are saying when they announce that their ballplayers will be made to wear jerseys themed after Dorothy from the The Wizard of Oz on a night celebrating the classic film.
Yep, come May 15 at the Ballpark at Jackson (Tenn.), the Class AA affiliate of the Seattle Mariners will wear uniforms that make the players all look like Judy Garland impersonators. The players will be begging fans to pay no attention to the men beyond the grandstand.
Themed minor league jerseys have become quite the fashion deal in recent seasons. Back in February, we reported on the Saved By The Bell jerseys the Brooklyn Cyclones were planning. Another team dressed up like ancient Egyptians. Another has a Christmas Sweater theme planned for July. This idea tops (?) them all. Jumps all of the sharks. Is way, way, WAY over the rainbow. The players are going to need a lot of nerve to wear them.
No, it's not an April Fool's joke. It's March 13. (Jackson Generals)
As you can see from the schematics provided by the team, the jerseys are styled in the blue and white gingham pinafore dress Dorothy wore, along with with red ruby slipper accents and — AND, AND, AND — pigtails. Pigtails! (Well, pigtails are very softball, which is like baseball.)
There's also a jersey tag that includes renderings of Emerald City, the Yellow Brick Road and all of the parting gifts the Wizard gave to Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion. (Although, some say that Oz never did give nothing to the Tin Man that he didn't already have.) Oh, and there's an image of Dorothy's little dog, too. Toto.
Hey, why not throw in some ruby red baseball cleats while you're at it?
Great! And terrible.!image.jpg ↗
Hard to please KU fans may see surprising Jayhawks run this March

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- This column is probably going to enrage some Kansas fans. There, how's that for trollin'? Anyway, glad to do it. We're here to please.
Usually, Jayhawkers are as sensitive as a baby's behind anyway, as belligerent as Kanye during an awards show. They demand to have the final say on their Jayhawks. Not this time, boys and girls. Here's why I’m scooping you: I've seen your tweets. I've listened to the radio. I've heard you in the bars.
Your assessment of your top-10 team has not been kind this season. You don't dislike it. Let's just say you're less in love with this edition of the Jayhawks than others. Some have called it one of the "worst" Bill Self teams at KU.
Some have hinted they lack cohesion, grit, a big man. That's you talking Jayhawk Fan. Remember -- tweets, radio, bars.
This may hurt JF but ... your Jayhawks look like they can make a run in the tournament.
This a good thing. It just happens to run contrarian to a large portion of a smothering fan base. The same folks who had high expectations for the season, seemingly don't have high hopes for this month. That despite a 62-52 Big 12 tournament semifinal win here Friday night over Baylor.
When your team has won at least a share of 11 straight conference titles, how does the term "worst" even come into the conversation?
"I've heard that [word] a couple years since I've been here," junior forward Jamari Traylor countered. "We're winning games."
Traylor has seen and heard a lot of things in Lawrence. He played his 90th game in a Kansas uniform Friday. He's a glue guy. In the best season of his career, he has averaged five points. A superstar he is not. More like a keen observer.
Friday marked the 26th win this season, the 351st of Bill Self's career at Kansas. But the expectation each year is the Final Four. Kansas and Self have had the audacity not to go to one since 2012.
In a sport harder to watch by the day, Friday's result was impressive enough for the Jayhawks. Kansas choked off the Bears like it was a UFC fight. It limited Baylor to its lowest point total of the season. Baylor is the best shooting three-point team in the Big 12, supposedly best conference in the country. On Friday, the Bears clanked 18 of 22 from beyond the arc.
Baylor had two more field goals (19) than turnovers (17).
Seasons shouldn't be judged in a snapshot. For Self, this team has sometimes been a day-to-day proposition. Freshman five-star forward Cliff Alexander has underachieved and is currently sitting out with NCAA issues. Junior forward Perry Ellis is a 4.0 student whose major (flaw) has been aggressiveness. That doesn't make him a bad person but it does raise questions with the fan base.
Since Jan. 31, Ellis -- who returned Friday from a knee injury -- is more foundation than soft spot. He has averaged 16.7 points and 7.5 rebounds. Sophomore guard Wayne Selden has stepped up. Freshman Kelly Oubre looks like a one-and-done.
Arkansas transfer Hunter Mickelson may the world's only 6-foot-10 gnat, he's so annoying on the court.
Kansas is in the Big 12 tournament title game for the fourth time in six years. Still, to a large part of its adorers, this team is a 26-7 enigma. To those on the inside, they’re shaking their heads.
"We're all spoiled with how much we win. It's crazy," Traylor said. "Some people are just fighting for one. We're winning every year."
Traylor was referring to those Woodenesque 11 consecutive conference titles by Self. But even that accomplishment has been sliced and diced by folks with nothing else better to do.
The Big 12 isn't that much of a challenge, they say. Kansas has it too easy, they say. Maybe, the Jayhawks have a lot to do with that. Like all great sports franchises, sometimes it competes against its own legacy.
Maybe it's just end-of-season doldrums. KU won and it probably didn't matter. The Jayhawks are going to be a No. 2 seed if Jerry Palm sleeps from now until Monday. Maybe it's getting routed by both Kentucky and Temple by a combined 53 pints. Maybe it's finishing an undistinguished 5-6 in true road games.
But maybe this team is also underappreciated. How many teams in the tournament have three serviceable big men, depth at guard and that dominant defense to take into March Madness?
"I feel the same way," Traylor said.
They're just hard to play and figure out. In the same post-game Self went from ripping his team's effort to lauding it.
"The last 24 hours hasn't been very pleasant with us," Self said Thursday, in assessing a sloppy quarterfinal win over TCU. "I'm tired of it and they're tired of me being tired of it."
Then he reminded reporters his team came from six down against Texas in the second half. It came back from 18 down at home to beat West Virginia. The Jayhawks played their guts out last week at Oklahoma without Perry and Alexander.
Offensively, these Jayhawks are hard on eyes, but aside from Kentucky and handful of others there are no truly great teams in the country. If you're going to trash Kansas, at this point you're going to trash the game.
Play like they did Friday and the Jayhawks go a long way. Fall short of the Final Four and a top-10 team that lost two first-round draft choices (Joel Embiid, Andrew Wiggins) suddenly has a lot of questions to answer.
Just check Twitter, the radio and the bars.
"We don't know how good we have it, I guess," Traylor said.
@JayHawkFanToo I don't know, but they really get on my nerves!
@Shanghai_RCJH maybe???
