@jayballer54 Let 'em go pro. I'd rather watch juniors and seniors develop than see guys like Oubre and Diallo cruise through for a useless year

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 17, 2017 11:50 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 :+1:

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 17, 2017 11:45 PM

@DanR no pun intended

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 17, 2017 11:45 PM

@wissox Or, other schools don't self-report this stuff?

Embiid and the Sixers • Nov 17, 2017 03:37 PM

@BShark The kid should have given him a coca cola

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 17, 2017 03:33 PM

@BeddieKU23 The best part of Garrett's defensive game is that he makes it hard for the other team to get the ball to his man in the first place. On him like glue the entire time, head swiveling around tracking the ball to stay in position.

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 17, 2017 12:54 PM

you can lease a brand new charger for $300/month, so maybe Billy just isn't spending his money on tattoos

Watch this guy play • Nov 17, 2017 12:34 AM

Vick has more hops, but if you put 15 pounds on him, I'd say it's a great comparison

Alexander, Diallo...Preston? • Nov 16, 2017 10:25 PM

@jhawknc1 Eldorado convertible was probably the vehicle wilt would fit in

Embiid and the Sixers • Nov 15, 2017 06:19 PM

Embiid needs to stop watching Charles Barkley tapes and go back to modeling his career after David Robinson and Hakeem Olajuwon

Tim Finke (not KU related) • Nov 15, 2017 05:28 PM

Grand Canyon is where Royce Woolridge ended up his last year. (playing pro in Poland now I think)

I'd like to see Billy rally around the the team, instead of the team propping up Billy. Which seems to be the case over the wire.

@Crimsonorblue22 Not Cal's fault for having a young team, LOL

Man, watching cal in the post game interview. What a dick.

Jam Tray in Greece • Nov 13, 2017 08:51 PM

He might actually be 6-6 in those shoes

The Man That Raised Me Passed Away Today • Nov 11, 2017 01:23 AM

@BShark Condolences, BShark.

Remember the bizarre baby mozart video tape from the late 90s? Those kids grew up, had kids, and this is what comes next. When I was a baby in the 60s, I probably just stared at the cracks in the ceiling or whatever spinning dangling things I couldn't quite reach that my parents wound up and hung on my crib. (That was before walking to school 5 miles uphill both ways in the snow.)

Last but not least, my dog was born near Nashville!

Espn gets it wrong! • Nov 07, 2017 03:06 AM

I'm beginning to worry that beating MU every year is the highlight of some KU fan's season.

Bragg walks away from basketball. • Nov 07, 2017 03:01 AM

Good grief, I'm shocked this thread is still alive. You don't know shit, and it's NOT YOUR PROBLEM, people.

Is this current KU team special? • Nov 04, 2017 03:00 AM

I think if you had five kids over the past 5 seasons and you thought one could be president, this would probably not be the kid... but they are all VERY special.

No Pressure, No Diamonds • Nov 04, 2017 02:58 AM

Malik is pretty comfortable (and hilarious) in all the interviews I've seen. I don't think he's introverted, just Southern polite maybe?

Last night observations • Nov 04, 2017 02:56 AM

I recall the Morrii thought it used up to much energy to dunk their first year. I've played plenty of INTENSE driveway games on a nine foot rim and I actually agree that it's a lot harder to stretch and dunk than shoot a bunny layup.

Last night observations • Nov 01, 2017 03:18 PM

Self also mentioned post game that Devonte's "body is a little tired" ... but not hurt.

Slack is working on my phone . Bwag and rocketdog are there

Wonder if Kim's brother is named Sue

23-3 and getting worse for pitt

An immodest proposal • Oct 31, 2017 02:43 AM

@approxinfinity Too bad they bailed. I'd like to see both @globaljaybird and @brooksmd come back.

An immodest proposal • Oct 31, 2017 02:35 AM

@wissox Could have been a quicker game, no doubt. Both teams were in freakout mode all night every time a pitcher threw a couple consecutive balls. Obviously all the concern worked out on the scoreboard. :rolling_eyes:

I'd like to see batter stay in the box the entire at bat, and pitcher pitch (or try a pick off attempt), once they put their foot on the rubber. End the mind games.

Get rid of batting gloves too!

An immodest proposal • Oct 30, 2017 05:22 PM

For 25 runs, 10 innings, and 14 pitchers used, I thought the game length was fine. If not for some bonehead plays, it would have ended it sooner. Humongous strike zone probably sped things up a bit.

Looks like we lost @globaljaybird

First Game • Oct 27, 2017 04:45 PM

I blame Zenger for making my pumpkin turn orange. I'm pretty mad about it.

@BShark he's pretty good at antagonizing other bigs!

Probably learned that from Lucas too. LOL

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 24, 2017 04:51 PM

No way Lightfoot transfers out or redshirts. People need to watch Lightfoot a little more closely--he's a better player and athlete than people seem to realize. He obviously learned a lot (from Lucas probably) about where to be on the floor. Self seems to be getting comfortable with him, so it would not surprise me if he starts some games in the next couple years while the one-and-dones learn the system. The horror.

Game day chats this year - let's use Slack • Oct 24, 2017 01:46 AM

I'm willing to try it. Long threads kind of get bogged down for me on here... I have to put the "sort by" with "newest" at the top, otherwise it doesn't update very well. Start a thread with a link to Slack for each game and see how it goes.

Game day chats this year - let's use Slack • Oct 24, 2017 01:21 AM

@approxinfinity I'll give it a try! (got rid of my earlier comment to avoid confusion)

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 02:29 AM

@DoubleDD try harder

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 02:28 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Headlines and buzz/ticket sales are what MU got out of this loss. Most of the state of Missouri forgot MU had a basketball team until this game.

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 02:25 AM

@DoubleDD what new question did you bring up?

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 02:19 AM

@DoubleDD Don't know you, bro, let alone hate you. You seem like a bad wanna-be talk radio guy wanting to repetitiously stir up something out of nothing for the sake of nothing to fill three hours of air time. Maybe you missed your calling.

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 01:57 AM

@Big-Clyde52 Not trying to slam them. It was a totally different deal (K-State/Missouri State). Free admission. Donations encouraged.

Should've played the Shockers, maybe, but who knows what went on behind the scenes.

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 23, 2017 01:42 AM

@Big-Clyde52 highlights on last night's KC news coverage showed maybe 2-3000 tops in the Octogon. And by 2, I mean 2.

Checkmate - Border War Back On • Oct 23, 2017 01:26 AM

Home and away every year in the same conference. I have no problem with that.

A game at "neutral" sprint would have been a big fat boring dud the last 5+ years because it would have been 90% KU fans and some empty seats

Another rant against Fox and MLB • Oct 22, 2017 11:33 PM

Every rant against Fox Sports and MLB really needs to include something about that gawdawful strike zone they impose on every pitch.

I broke my Fox Sports baseball boycott and watched the final Astros/Yankees game last night, and I'm still irritated.

Thoughts on the victory vs Fizzou • Oct 22, 2017 11:27 PM

No one got hurt! Nice win over a good AAU team.

If Newman passed it to Devonte instead of Doke at the tail end of the second half run, it would have been a 20 pt. blowout.

Help viewing pay per view Border War • Oct 22, 2017 10:01 PM

Devonte better learn to take it into the paint

We have a 16-6 edge in points in the paint... should be more like 26-6

21-19 rebounds. Only a 2 board edge for mu
