@nuleafjhawk said in KU Offseason Chef Bill Cooking Thread:
I think the starting lineup should be me and any 4 of you who are over 60. You know, people who give a crap about the college game and aren't 100% focused on the NBA $$$. People who can shoot free throws. People who give a crap about KU.
You may notice that my attitude is not particularly great. You would be correct.
That game was not Bill Self's fault, not Norm Robert's fault. Strictly on the folks who don't want to be in Lawrence anymore.
The 60+ crowd will remember Danny Manning (the Senior) stepping up to the free throw line at the end of the game and every one of us thought "We just won the National Championship! "(Before he shot the free throws)
Towards the end of yesterday's game, a junior stepped to the line and I thought "Welp. We're screwd".
Ok. I'll crawl back in my hole.
We will need a bigger roster and more time outs. Sub in/out after every two trips up and down the floor….🥵
@bskeet said in Important Big 14 news:
It has crossed my mind that several of these conferences should rebrand. Partly because the number in their name is inaccurate and partly because the current and future state suggests that the number will be continue to fluid (and inaccurate), so a name without a number would withstand all the changes and be less confusing in the long run.
But what to name it.. ?
“Kansas owns you!” Conference
Has Bill Self released a statement about the game or had an interview? Can’t find one…
Gradey didn’t take any kind of role yesterday, given his time on the court. 7 pts, 1/3 on 3’s. He could have done better in the biggest game of his life… oh, well. Next man up.
When is the annul banquet?
Will Arkansas drive the basket a lot today, thus getting a lot of FT opportunities, slowing down the game and creating creating foul problems for KU? I expect that to be the case. Wouldn’t surprise me to see KU use a zone defense a bit.
@bskeet - maybe that could be worked into the narrative, then take back the scholly next year? 😉
@mayjay - oops….
According to CBS, “ We started the day with 787 perfect brackets through 16 games. Here's how they dropped to zero:
No. 7 Michigan State def. No. 10 USC — 450 perfect
No. 3 Xavier def. No. 14 Kennesaw State — 364 perfect
No. 3 Baylor def. No. 14 UCSB — 314 perfect
No. 5 Saint Mary's def. No. 12 VCU — 205 perfect
No. 2 Marquette vs. No. 15 Vermont — 179 perfect
No. 11 Pitt def. No. 6 Iowa State — 71 perfect
No. 6 Creighton def. No. 11 NC State — 30 perfect
No. 4 UConn def. No. 13 Iona — 26 perfect
No. 16 FDU def. No. 1 Purdue — BUSTED””
Drake has one (1) point in the last 5:38. Wow…
WVU didn’t rep the Big12 very well today. They blew several leads. 😢
Wondering which game will see his return? Don’t know for certain what he had done, but the pressure of NCAA basketball is heavy. Should he skip the tournament?
Twitter thinks Frank Clark has been re-signed by the Chiefs.
I believe McCullar needs to be almost 100%. Gradey needs to play hard and hit his shots, as he hasn't been doing much of either. It’s almost as if he’s just marking time until the draft.
I also believe Yesufu is a problem on the floor. He shoots (and misses) 3’s early in the shot clock and his defense is “not good”. I’d rather see almost any other guard.
Let’s hope for some upsets in this bracket.
Kevin only had 12 minutes today. Yesufu picked up the bulk of the minutes with little to show for it. 😢
Fizzou beat Tennessee. Maybe a team that will go deeper than round of 64?
Slim chance, but maybe Jay Wright would come out of retirement for a few years? Easier to recruit at Kansas.
From Dushawn London article:
“ I chose Kansas because of the NIL opportunities , the coaches, and they really sound like they need and want me,” he said. “Coach Self reached out to me and said I want you to play for me and that he wants to coach me. Hearing that from a coach of his status and him reaching out directly is a really big deal that I couldn’t turn down.”
NIL money must be good! Listed as the first reason.
I can see KI fans going to warmer climes for games in the winter - Florida, AZ, etc. I’m wondering what season tix cost for some of these schools (buy and try to resale all but KU game).
@wissox said in Big12 strength:
I would never think replacing OU and Texas with those others is a good idea. Two legendary football programs that still draw lots of eyeballs, and two basketball programs that have been relevant for decades, if not elite, for directional non traditional powers just seems like we're setting ourselves up for a league with less prestige and power than more. Obviously OU and Texas left on their own but we're going to miss them.
Houston going to find out the Big 12 is a tad stronger than the league (I honestly can't think of it) they play in now, and I have little doubt we're still Big12 champs even if they're here.

Did anyone note that, at last night’s Louisville game, the half time entertainment dog “relieved itself” on the court? Probably the dog’s opinion of the Louisville season…
Texas loses, 75-73. UT coach did a fast blow by with Dixon in the handshake line. Probably disappointed to lose their chance at the ‘ship.
@Crimsonorblue22 - Grady’s parents? Or ???
Sorry if this is a repost. Looks like Dajuan may be staying. From the KC paper:
“Dajuan Harris, who will graduate from Kansas in May with a bachelor’s degree in liberal arts and sciences, will not be giving a Senior Night speech after Tuesday night’s Big 12 battle against Texas Tech at Allen Fieldhouse. “I’ve still got two more years left,” Harris, KU’s 6-foot-1, 170-pound point guard from Columbia, Missouri, said after scoring 17 points on 7-of-9 shooting, dishing six assists, and swiping six steals in 36 minutes in Kansas’ 76-74 victory over West Virginia on Saturday. “We’ll see what happens. I hope I’ll be here another two years. Yeah, we’ll see what happens,” he added, speaking on the postgame show on the Jayhawk Radio Network.

Has anyone else noticed that HCBS has a pregame habit of blowing into his cupped hands when he comes out of the tunnel? Every time I see him emerge, he does it. Ritual or superstition?
Aannddd Wilson takes it inside again against 3 defenders. Picks up a foul. Looks like he’s lost all confidence in his 3-ball.
Yesufu has been disappointing today…
Perhaps run some offense instead of Wilson driving into 3 defenders under the basket - again?
Huggins gave an interview yesterday saying he thought strange things happen at AFH, saying the refs are intimidated by the crowd. Wonder if the refs read it?
@FarmerJayhawk - McDonalds diet?
@dylans said in Looking more and more like we will indeed still be adding:
Add Arizona, Gonzaga, UConn and just cancel the NCAA tournament. Big12 regular season champs would be it.
I’m in.
Evans at 7’1” is 210 lbs? How much weight can he really add?
Alabama’s Miller goes off for 41 tonight. 52% of their points, 40% of their shots. Guess he wanted to let off some steam.
Miller started tonight for Alabama, so I suppose all is forgiven?
@DanR said in Why is my Cove dishwasher not draining?:
Good info. This post is in the "behind the wall" category though. I think it should be in the "under the counter" category. Who the hell puts a dishwasher behind a wall? I'm skeptical now of the advice offered.
LOL! And why is it still here?
@BeddieKU23 - great information! Thanks for your work here.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Father Bill vs his Large Adult Son Game Thread:
@Gorilla72 Kenny Logan jr!
- Thanks!
@dylans - Thanks! I was wondering about it, too.
When the camera turned to the former players in the crowd, who was they guy with his (left?) arm in a sling?
@benshawks08 - me too! Good reads every day.
@Crimsonorblue22 - LMU has only 28 pts. Tough to come out for the 2nd half…
Gonzaga has 68 pts in the 1st half on 71% shooting vs LMU.
Waz up with Mizzou tonight? 18 points in the first half? 45-18 Auburn…
Is KU in on any 7 footers?
@Kcmatt7 - does seem like all his shots are off the front rim (short).
This is difficult to watch.
