Brown can show up anytime he wants, hopefully a permanent home
For sure. Hope we don’t get Mitch Ballock’d
Pushing 50 2021 recruits on campus for Junior Day today. I’d say more likely than not we get a commit or two.

@FarmerJayhawk So this Bangerter fellow mentioned in the article. It caught my eye. He was mentioned in an article after the wiretapping stuff back near the time of Self’s statement. He seemed quite displeased with everything. There was also a radio discussion on him.
What do you know about him?
I don’t know Shane as well as some others but my impression is he’s very measured and sensitive to the reputation of the universities. He has a keen understanding that KU basketball is the state’s best sports brand, a big reason why KU is growing again, and doesn’t want that to change (I.e. become Indiana or UCLA). I don’t know his personal fandom. I suspect he’s not a KU partisan since he went to Oral Roberts. But there’s a chance he and Self overlapped there so there may be some warm and fuzzies. I don’t know his age for sure.
That being said, he’s very opposed to micromanaging the institutions from what I understand. The Regents don’t really want to get involved unless it’s something pretty egregious like the KU professor getting indicted for not disclosing he held a similar position with the ChiComms. They’d much rather focus their limited time and resources on big picture issues like state appropriations and admissions standards.
Just as an example, they have zero interest in the Beaty vs. KU lawsuit. It’s certainly within their authority to order KU to settle but they’ve never even requested a briefing from KU counsel on the matter.
Happy to answer follow-ups if you have them.

@approxinfinity I’m sure no one cares about the student body president.
Board of Regents is much different.
They fully support Self as of this week
So you know and talk to the Board of Regents members?
I know a few. And spoke to people very close to them after the brawl to take the temperature.

The student body president won office in an uncontested race. Does anyone really care what the student body president thinks?
I was in student government back in the day and didn’t give a damn
Love this hire 🐦 View Tweet

Wow that's surprising that Cal can't stockpile 7 wings and keep them all happy.
I know it's stunning
Khalil Whitney leaving UK. He was always pretty soft on them. Bet he ends up at Illinois, where he wanted to go in the first place.
Like anything, it's pretty hit and miss. I live in the South now and it's pretty similar to LFK as far as how friendly people are. But quite a few of us are transplants so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
kjayhawks said:
@DanR It’s actually very strange to me how not friendly or even flat out rude people are when I north or east. People in Kansas are generally pretty nice even in the worst cities like Hutchinson or Manhattan lol.
Intra-Kansas fights are amazing. For example I will absolutely die on the hill I’m not from western Kansas. CENTRAL ISNT WESTERN MY GODS
Coe is done at KU. Previous leadership absolutely let this stuff go because they were inept. Long and Miles are different dudes. They’ll clear the deck.

Zion Harmon moved his visit , was suppose to be this week end. - coming in to Visit now on the 2-3 of February
He right now is the # 20 player in 2021 , but his dad as saying possible re-class to 2020. Will know for sure I think his Birthday which they said I think is March 12th
Interesting. Pretty sure we aren’t playing ball there.
Got a beer bottle thrown at me in Aggieville once just for wearing a blue (not even KU!) shirt. Good times all around.

Ah, but will he be "ready" in Self's eyes?

@FarmerJayhawk Pretty sure that puts his suspension one game past the @KSU game
Yup. Tinfoil hat time
Too steep for Silvio. Rest seems fair.

Kansan vs Kansan outside of the game is not healthy. It's fun to have a rivalry, but fans should remember we have to be united for bigger issues and opponents.
I'll root for KState over Alabama... or any SEC, ACC, etc opponent for that matter.
After the band fellatio, I quit rooting for KSU for anything. How their fans reacted to that is pitiful.
Same with this stupid fight. "He wAs JuSt PlAyInG tO tHe wHistLe."
They can't even accept that a single one of their players had anything to do with the situation. That maybe their bench shouldn't have reacted that way. I'm not trying to say Silvio was innocent. He was absolutely the main reason the scuffle started. But they literally can't own up to the smallest of things.
It's a repeat of the way they acted with the band thing.
"iT wAs StAr WaRs dAy."
No it was clearly a penis and if you'd at least own up to that I'd respect you.
So KSU can burn to the ground and I wouldn't care one single bit. I hate their fans. I hate where their school is located. I think their campus is ugly. I hate the way it smells there. I hate how fake "country" it is. I hate their colors. I hate EMAW because it sounds like a donkey noise. I hate the stupid thing they do at games where it looks like everyone is practicing giving a BJ.
Frankly, I hate everything about KSU. And I hope that during the next conference realignment they get relegated to the Mountain West where they belong.
Upvote * infinity my goodness this is good. @FarmerJayhawk sorry bud the whole tea bagging Hurt is now 2nd place.
100% agree. While proud of that, this is much better

So.... how do you feel about KSU?

There are a lot of false statements going around today. I just watched a video on ESPN where Stephen A Smith said that Silvio accepted a $2500 payment from a booster. No one at his round-table rant knew the truth to correct him that an Adidas rep paid Silvio's guardian $2500. Smith also said that an assistant coach had to rip the chair from Silvio's hands. Again, no one corrected him. Our administration needs to defend these players a little bit because they are getting slaughtered in the media.
Yup. It gets worse closer to home. https://www.kansascity.com/opinion/editorials/article239536503.html ↗

Ok help me out, please. I heard a couple people and saw a sign that said something about Bruce eating soup. Eat your soup Bruce. Bruce eats soup with a fork.
What’s that about??? @BShark @FarmerJayhawk @kjayhawks @anyone?!?
I think it’s just a dig at how nerdy and awkward he is.
Beat their tails silly at the octagon of room, shake hands, leave. All while dodging the live chickens and/or bananas the crowd tosses at them.

Greg Brown would look nice in a KU uni. Too bad we can't pay him what he wants.
swooooosh
Silvio suspended indefinitely, per Self. Pending Big 12 review.
Maybe it's my background in comms and dealing with press for a living, but am I the only one who doesn't give a rats ass what the media says about KU and thinks KU shouldn't take their opinions into account AT ALL when deciding punishment? Sure there's that out of context photo, but the video is much less damning if people would just watch it (https://imgur.com/a/5znZHdo). ↗ ESPN doesn't run KU. CBS doesn't run KU. Twitter doesn't run KU. The state of Kansas runs KU. Tell the press they can shove it with their hot takes and we'll run the show like adults. Yes, there will obviously be consequences for dumbassery. But suggesting this is the end for Silvio and whatnot is absolutely without merit IMO. Would break all precedent from previous dumbassery and wouldn't serve anyone but the press's appetite for blood.

Hmmm. Sounds pretty homoerotic to me
Tbf his guys can’t hear that high a frequency.
I have a rule that’s served me pretty well over the years, in part because I’m lazy and occasionally like to do easy things. Don’t be an asshole.

Bill didn’t boot Brady for a DUI. He’s not booting Silvio.
Dude that is an awful comparison. DUIs happen all the time. Brawls in college basketball are rare.
You’re right! A DUI is waaaaay worse.
Don't be so sure about Bill not dismissing him from the team. -- He might not have any say, could very easily come from higher up - - Long or even chancellor - whether people want to believe it or not - a dudue grabbing a chair to go after someone - - there is no place for that in ANY sport - thank god for Howard grabbing him
I could see a mutual parting of ways after the year but not an outright dismissal.

For reference, Marcus Smart got 3 games for shoving a fan.

Vitale just said he will be shocked if Silvio wears a KU uniform again. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks of Vitale. What these guys say matters to the people at KU and the league that make decisions about what happens.
He went further and said Silvio shouldn’t ever play college basketball again. Which I think is ludicrous.
I think Silvio gets a handful, Dave maybe a couple, and we all go on. No reason to do anything super drastic.

He didn't do anything with the stool. Maybe he just had to move the stool out of everyone way so no one trips.
Looked like he backed into it or something and picked it up. Don’t think he intended to do anything with it.
Can’t lose your cool like that Silvio. He’s a good kid but jeez
