@Crimsonorblue22 ahhhh that makes sense. Like dang he's gotta be in the 17th grade by now lol

Why does it seem like Forte has been at OSU forever?

@Crimsonorblue22 yeah total BS that was a pretty clear intentional shove. not sure who at Duke paid that guy off to say that but not a basketball play.

@jayballer54 I've always thought the same thing regarding storming the court. If you're a ranked team especially one in the top 10 then you should expect tow in every night evne if it's the number 1 team.

@Crimsonorblue22 yeah he said it was a basketball hustle play that Grayson was just trying to get back into the action

@RockChalkinTexas hell yes!!! So happy about that although gonna be rough for me since i work next weekend. Looks like it's going to be another run of being up for 48 hours.

Seriously Devonte???? What a dumb turnover to have. Absolutely no excuse for that.

@Crimsonorblue22 hahhaa i noticed that too!

Seems like a bit of an unnecessary Tech call there.

wish we could bury some shots but loving the aggressiveness on the boards. Offensive boards early!

Tech is definitely not the doormat that they used to be

@globaljaybird i really thought he was going to take a leap this year after watching him during the preseason and at late night. He has all the tools he's just gotta be more aggressive.

@HawkChamp I hope the same holds true this year. we Can't win forever like this.

Where is the defense in this game?

@Crimsonorblue22 yes he did! That TD from Poe was such a kick in the teeth tot he Donkey's and i Loved every second of it though I wish we would have saved it to use against NE or PIT since the game was already decided. I would have preferred kicking the raiders right in the mouth like that. I hate the Donkey's but not as much as the Raiders.

You guys have come up with some wonderful ideas! I'm going to start working on getting in with the right people to make some of this stuff happen. I don't know how quickly it will come but i'm the person to never say die or quit on something. I knew this would be the right place to ask to get some ideas going. I really really appreciate you guys and gals.

@Crimsonorblue22 That was an awesome game!!! I came home cold and wet but totally worth dipping on work for the night to be there. Still gotta write my story to recap that game as I was too intoxicated and full of joy to even think about typing last night haha.

@drgnslayr I completely agree about Reid's system not being good for the playoffs. Being from Philadelphia and being an Eagles fan in addition to a Chiefs fan it gives me a unique perspective. He always had great regular season success in Philly but shat the bed multiple times in the playoffs.

@nuleafjhawk I definitely agree really hope they are heavily working on that over the holiday break.

@RockChalkinTexas We hated the Yankees then??? I still hate the yankees lol! You had some awesome seats! my season seats are not nearly as good. I'm glad you got to experience so much with your husband :) I'll bet you guys had some great times during that run.

My first article got published. I'm working on a conference preview now leading up to the match up against UK

@nuleafjhawk hahaha! I would love to know that too we seem particularly inept this year.

@RockChalkinTexas i remember seeing that too. He wanted to make sure Carlton was doing it for the right reasons.

@RockChalkinTexas I would love to get in on some behind the scenes stuff. I don't know how much access they will grant me since i'm in an unpaid position for now but you guys are hitting me with some great ideas and stuff that I would really love to pursue. Humanize the program and teams a little more. Great news about Scooter. I bet he'd be really fun to sit down with and pick his brain about the team and his health. I think visiting different Big 12 arenas and doing pieces on their stadiums and the KU bars in those cities would be fun too.

@globaljaybird That would be stellar! I'm all for making new contacts and meeting people that have share similar passions. I would definitely appreciate that. Merry Christmas to you as well my friend.

@approxinfinity Thank you! Really great suggestions I was actually thinking about doing a First Look at the conference slate for my first post. MY editor said they are lacking on KU postings so I really want to hit that hard. If I can get the right access I think the human interest's pieces would get a lot of reads. Those have always bee my favorite stories as well.

@Crimsonorblue22 You are correct. I'm pretty sure he just turned 5. Had I known i was going to start this writing thing I would have asked him about it when I met him at Kauffman earlier this year.

@Blown Thank you!

@REHawk Both of those are good suggestions! I'll have to see if I can find a way to dig up that information since I don't have press credentials yet but not a bad place to start!.

Totally random and didn't have a place for this but I just got asked by FanSided to be a writer for their locals division website kckingdom.com providing analysis and opinions on Chiefs, Royals, Sporting KC, and last but not least our beloved Jayhawks. Anyone have any ideas or topics they'd like to see discussed?

Thanks all in advance for the suggestions.

@Crimsonorblue22 Going on a buckets trip to Hawaii sounds like a blast!

@jaybate-1.0 that was beautiful my friend

@RockChalkinTexas wow i'm so sorry for your loss. Definitely in my thoughts and prayers.

What in the hell was that by frank? I don't think he knew if he actually wanted to go up or not.

"Hasn't scored in 3 mins" boom drills a contested 3 ugh

@BShark I feel like every time it happens it's on CBS for whatever reason. Temple. SDSU

is it just me or do every time we play on CBS before the break we play a crap game?

JJ is a monster!!!!! Love what i'm seeing from this kid tonight

@wissox i second that notion. But i'd also trade that can for a can in the championship game on whatever unlucky victim we face.

@Crimsonorblue22 hahah keep it in your pants :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: i kid

@Fightsongwriter I think the story said suspected to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol. We all know college kids drink and smoke weed. That's not exactly a big revelation, though he should definitely be more careful.

@kjayhawks me either! Her twitter picture looks good and granted it was a mug shot with no makeup on but woof. Bragg could definitely do better.

@kjayhawks high on the crazy low on hot lol (!Hot-crazy_scale.png ↗ link url)

Not to be that guy but i'm going to be that guy for a moment, Carlton should step his game up. He's a KU basketball player even if he wasn't a good looking guy that alone would get him a higher grade of "tail" if that's all this was. Plus her family has some sketchy history. I know all kids make dumb mistakes but if I have 30 teams lining up to throw me millions of dollars in the next couple years i'd watch who i'm involved with more closely. Definitely a teaching moment.

@Crimsonorblue22 They said it was at the Delta Upsilon frat house

@jayballer54 Honestly i hate when we are ranked #1 or even 2 early in the season. I like our guys playing with a chip on their shoulders feeling they have something to prove.

@StLJhawk That's a good way of looking at it. I've been on the limit his minutes train thinking of March and injuries. I hadn't considered it from the senior stand point. Thanks for changing my opinion!

wow what an incredible game by Frank. I wish i would have been able to get to the game tonight as UMKC is my Alma Mater but unfortunately i'm stuck at work and could only catch glimpses of the game in between calls

@Crimsonorblue22 mine too!!! i need to snag tickets to that game absolute must see in person game.

@dylans Thanks!! i'll try that
