Self going to be livid about the D

Not sure what he expects when he is playing Moss and Tristan but yeah I'm sure he will be.

Stopping the ball with 5 seconds left in the half would be a good start

Self going to be livid about the D

Bill Self wyd

Stealing some time to get to the u4

Defense creates offense

Weird sequence

Soft

Would Vitale can it during FT’s

5 on 8

Lazy.

Have to pass out of that Doke

Lets see what Dave can do.

This is a massacre

Did Reggie Miller take over Doke’s body

Just have to knock them down

Does the crowd noise sound weird to anyone else?

If we get Ramsey in foul trouble you can warm up the bus

If you watch Diallo now, whom I follow, he still is extremely talented, but not much improved. Sometimes doesn’t even play. He loves KU, comes back and went to Selfs HOF induction. I’m not a huge LL fan, in fact it kills me sometimes, but he has a hi bbiq. Wish we could inject that into diallo.

Yes Diallo himself likes Self/KU but he isn't the one preventing KU from signing any future players from Mali as long as Bill is here. Kids are often not in control.

Nike is in the human trafficking business, no doubt about it

Also how many presidents withheld monies Appropriated by Congress. I think you’ll be surprised when you do a little Google search on it even the great Obama withheld money. But he didn’t get impeached

Withholding funds isn’t impeachable on its own. Doing so to get a foreign government to dig up dirt on a domestic political opponent absolutely is. I don’t care who does it, it’s a violation of the law. And I voted for Romney in ‘12, Johnson in in ‘16. There’s no love lost between the left and myself.

Biggest joke impeachment in our history. Sad thing is. Now every president will be impeached from here on out. I can hear it now. They tweeted something that hurt my feelings. At least Bill Clinton got a blow job out of his impeachment. Even though he lied under oath. But hey this is the new America. Don’t need evidence, just need speculation.

Nah, Johnson was impeached for basically not following a law that was clearly unconstitutional, the Tenure of Office Act. Trump was impeached for not spending money specifically appropriated by Congress, breaching his obligation to “take care the laws are faithfully executed,” and doing so to start a foreign investigation into a political opponent. Those facts aren’t in dispute. If you think that doesn’t rise to the level of impeachable that’s fine and I can respect that, but he absolutely did what the House accuses him of doing.

Thank you FarmerJayhawk for your insightful comments. I agree totally with your opinion with regards to Congress. My dollars are going to support important congressional races including ones in SC and KY.

You're welcome! I'm glad there's so much agreement about some of the causes of our current predicament.

To @benshawks08's quote, I'm not sure if anyone has made a bigger ass of himself than Rubio over the last 4 years. From darling of the GOP and cover of Time to a sad, little man who hasn't accomplished much of anything.

Back actually on topic, there aren't 51 to extend the trial to call and depose witnesses. This will end late Friday/early Saturday. /scene

Corrected post.

Do we really want to live in a country where the executive branch can deny Congress the ability to oversee it? That gives the presidency far too much power. If the president can’t be impeached nor indicted aren’t his /her powers as great as any dictators? I find it sad that all members of Congress can think about is their own re-election.

Super glad you brought this up. I think we need to reject the relatively new school of thought that says the branches are co-equal because they are absolutely not if you re-read the minutes to Constitutional Convention and the Federalist papers. Nobody the thought of interbranch dynamics in that way at all. Congress is the superior branch, the executive the inferior. Here's a simple test: which branch has ultimate authority over who serves in the other two? Congress, because it can impeach whoever it damn well pleases for whatever reason it finds sufficient since A) it has the SOLE power of impeachment per the Constitution and B ) the issue of impeachment is non-justiciable. The courts have no role in the impeachment process.

We as voters need to quit thinking about POTUS as the end all be all and elect members of Congress that will actually reclaim the actual business of legislating. We may get a shove to that since this Roberts Court is as skeptical as any in recent memory about the non-delegation doctrine, which has very significant implications about administrative rule-making power. As an example, the ACA had a (this is a very jargony term, my apologies) SHITLOAD of "the Secretary (of HHS) shall" this or that to actually fill out the skeleton that was the ACA statute. It's how we got things like the contraception mandate and all that jazz. This Court is skeptical that the legislature actually has the authority to delegate that power to the executive. Hopefully they keep chipping away at it until we get something resembling a functional legislative branch again.

I have more thoughts but went pretty far afield. Oops.

@Kcmatt7 Good points all around. I disagree on term limits. From what we know from research into state legislatures, term limits make representatives less accountable and increase the influence of special interests, professional staff, and the governor. They increase polarization as well since seniority tends to moderate legislators. Paradoxically, they tend to have the opposite effects proponents (quite reasonably!) believe they would, hence their popularity. https://www.mischiefsoffaction.com/post/political-science-term-limits ↗

@Marco '18, '17, '16? Do we think this team is better than of those? I'm kind of leaning that all three were better, assessing things right now. The Q for me is how Lucas was the drag on the '17 and '16 teams.

I think it depends on what point of the season you're assessing. This team is better than the 17-18 group as of January 30th. That group had one more loss, and a couple of them were pretty bad (ASU and Tech at home, the infamous hack-a-Doke game at OU) and a lot of folks thought we were the 3rd best team in the league behind Tech and Trae Young's OU team. We were ranked 7th in the AP poll.

The 15-16 group had just lost 3 of 5 and was reeling some heading into the game against UK at Allen (which we one in OT). The 16-17 group was 20-2 coming off a really good road win at Rupp.

So if I had to rank each on January 30th I'd say: 17, 16, 20, 18. Of course the 18 group was the best at the end but it's comparing two different things, so tried to keep it apples to apples.

@FarmerJayhawk Do you worry if Trump is now acquitted by the Senate that this line of defense becomes precedent and opens up presidents to do almost anything they'd like to get reelected because they "believe" it's in the public interest for them to be president? I'm also no law scholar so I'm curious to know if that's even how that would work.

Not really. I think the outcome was certain no matter what the defense said. Dershowitz could’ve went up there and started yelling get these squirrels off me and Trump would’ve been acquitted. That’s the weird thing about impeachments. The underlying facts are rarely in dispute. Everyone knew Clinton lied under oath and Trump held up aid to Ukraine to push them to investigate the Biden’s. It’s a political judgment about whether these were acts worthy of removal from office.

And FWIW, I think this is pretty clear cut and the Senate should convict.

I know I'm just a dirty rotten leftist but I am genuinely curious how conservatives feel about the new defense proposed in the impeachment. I found this quote particularly terrifying but maybe I'm just seeing it through my blue shaded glasses?

"And if a president did something that he believes will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment," Dershowitz argued.

Help me out here conservatives. Explain to me why this kid of presidential power without oversight is good. Genuinely trying to understand this because to my brain it is incomprehensible.

Not a conservative, but generally on the right. Dershowitz is a hack. He made his career as a defense attorney and that's what he's doing here. No more, no less.

His shot has taken a decent step forward this year as well. a 5 pp increase in 3 pt % (a 17% increase), an 8 pp increase in FT% (14% increase), and a 3 pp increase in 2 pt %. It's really nice that he's not a total liability at the line if he gets fouled, because he is a really solid driver.

Make them pay our fine if they want them back.

Sallis bumped to #20 overall, 5* on Rivals. Need.

We also dropped almost everyone that decommitted. Scott (bad Sr year), Bryant (grades), Harden (grades), Fisher (numbers crunch), Stoefen (injury), Richardson (didn't want to grey), and Jarrett (we signed better guys). These are two way relationships.

It made a lot of intuitive sense to me as well. Hopefully we land a QB who can make throws on a rope to the field side, otherwise we'll certainly be limited in what we can do. I suppose if nothing else we can put the Y to the boundary, but things can get congested. Maybe run more 12 personnel if a second TE emerges? I need to see if some Bethel games are around to watch. I think he used a fair amount of 12 then.

I'd like to see us do a lot of 11 with the Y off the line.

I think one of our strengths is our WRs. I don't want to take them off the field really.

I’d agree with that. Parchment, Robinson, and Lassiter are a solid true. We’ll see what Fairs, Naylor, Hampton, and Horne can give us as depth. I’d love to RS everyone else if possible. Hard to say if anyone beyond Luavasa can be a bona fide threat in the passing game from the TE spot.

Bryant officially decommitted. Headed JuCo due to grades.
