Vick. Bomb the bejesus out of them with 4 gunners that can hit from the 3 at a good clip. No rebounding needed if you don't miss shots. :smiley:

I imagine it is something that was negotiated when Maryland joined the Big 10; a payoff of sorts to compensate for what they had to pay to leave the ACC.
I seriously doubt if the Big 12 Tournament would be held at a location other than the 3 you mentioned. I cannot think of another candidate city.
Personally, I prefer KC for obvious reasons (even if it is on Missouri) and then OKC.
Fro0m the KU Athletic Department website...
I don't know about the negative publicity...helicopter dad Ball more than makes up for it. I heard a commentator a few days ago saying that every time daddy Ball makes a stupid comment he gets turned off on the son. Unfair but true.
Probably afraid that with all that has been going on off-court Coach will blow a gasket...he should know better.
Making progress, the deficit is now one half of what it was...If the team can erase a 14 point deficit in under 3 minutes, we can certainly do this by the 21st of March...
That would be nice...but how do you do it?
The programs has monitors in place that wait for every player at every class they take and if he misses class the coaching staff gets the information immediately. Other than that, short of having a chaperone with every player 24/7, there is not really much else the program can do; you can't really monitor a player all the time, to do so it would be not only impossible/impractical but bordering on illegal...invasion of privacy and such.
Coach Self has indicated in many occasions that players are constantly and repeatedly reminded of the rules, not only the NCAA but the school and program/team rules as well. No question this has been a trying year but I would not say it is typical of the program which by and large has been pretty clean.
Again, I understand where you are comi9ng from and what you mean but I just don't see how it could be done.
I clearly wrote I don't condone it...I don't know how I can be any clearer than that
There is a big difference between "condoning" which I don't and "understanding: which I do. You want to see what you want and not what I clearly meant in my post and that is OK, we obviously have different opinions and we should leave it at that.
I like your new avatar...:smile:
Couldn't happen to a nice guy, at least the refs seem to be aware of him..
I will see how my schedule is like and might be able to make it there...for a sports bar the food is not too bad either.
I don't know, I was simply showing who was recruiting him but I seriously doubt Coach Self would get in an argument with a prospect or a prospect with him.
No problem at all. Maybe we can make this thread the "offcial awards" threat...It's all good, we can never have enough of Frank anyway. :smile:
You really need to re-read my post. It was indeed the textbook definition of a fender bender. ↗. He was given a ticket for careless driving, after the fact, and like with every single ticket issued for any reason, a court date was provided. He can either pay the fine, if one is specified in the ticket, talk to the prosecuting attorney at the pleading docket or get an attorney and contest the charge.
In my neck of the woods, if restitution has been made, the ticket is usually dismissed for the lighter offenses or amended to a non-moving violation and the fine doubled for the not so light offenses; this is even done with speeding tickets, provided the speed did not exceed certain limit or was in school zone during restricted hours. Nothing new here that is not done most everywhere.
This is what I said:
"I can see how there could be people that would do the same to a guy that is expected to be a millionaire in a few months.and I can also see why Josh would be leery of that happening…and no, I am not saying this is what happened but I can understand why Josh would do what he did; I don’t condone it but I can certainly understand it."
Now, where did I say he was being extorted? I guess you missed this part...
"I am not saying this is what happened..."
I was simply relating a personal experience to illustrate how celebrities and wealthy people are frequent targets of people trying to make a quick buck. That's all.
Again, I did not say it was right or condoned it; I just said I understand it.
He would tweet from the scene of the accident...:smiley:
Already posted that link on the Frank Thread
...not unless Coach Self plays the rest of your starters 20 minutes and lets the bench go at it...:smile:
I don't think Coach Self would do this since many would consider disrespectful to the other team, even when it gives it a chance to move on and earn the automatic bid.
I did not say it was right or condoned it; I just said I understand it. I have no issue with the one game suspension either.
Separate incidents. Vick will be starting for Jackson with Bragg first off the bench and Coleby and Lightfoot probably seeing decent playing time. should be able to handle TCU short handed but a loss would not bother me too much since it provides extended rest time before teh games that actually count
KU's #1 seed is by all practical purposes locked in but you never know...a loss to TCU might give the committee the excuse it needs to shaft KU.
For cripes sake, it was a small fender bender while backing up in a parking lot. Although he did not leave his information at the time, he apparently took care of it but did not inform the coaching staff. A mistake? Obviously yes. Is he a poor driver? Likely. Is this going to scare NBA scouts? Not a chance.
When I worked at a gas station in my Freshman year in college...back then when gas station had attendants who pumped gas and checked the oil...there was one scuzzy looking guy that would stop by in a super beat up car and bragged how he parked near the exit of a luxury condominium high rise and waited for older drivers to exist and then drove right in front of them and got hit and settled for cash on the spot. We finally told one of the cops that used to stop by and the police eventually followed and arrested him for creating accidents
I can see how there could be people that would do the same to a guy that is expected to be a millionaire in a few months.and I can also see why Josh would be leery of that happening...and no, I am not saying this is what happened but I can understand why Josh would do what he did; I don't condone it but I can certainly understand it.
Having done my share of bone headed mistakes when young, I am not one to pass judgement on this kid that is under a microscope, something I cannot even imagine what is like. Had one of the end of bench players done the same thing, we would not have even heard of it.
One year ago I would have said that Frank would end up playing in Europe but now I believe he has what it takes to make it in the NBA. Keep in mind that Isaiah Thomas, who is only 5'9" and was drafted #60 is doing great with the Celtics and in several of the list of candidates for MVP in the big boys league and if not for his defense, he would be leading. If you compare college stats, Frank is a better version of Thomas with a much better outside shot, rebounding and defense skills...and Thomas was just a final 10 candidate for the Cousy award but certainly not POY in multiple publications like Frank is.
A good run in the NCAA and Frank is a first rounder for sure.
A true KU legend. Rock Chalk and RIP Bill Houghland.
What publication is that? The one I saw had him leading but the final result will not be announced until next week.
I am with @KUSTEVE on this. The situation in Europe is not good and getting worse but the liberal Euro MSM will not report it any more than ours. There are entire section of large cities in Europe including countries such as Norway, Germany, France and others where large areas of big cities have been completely overtaken by "refugees" and the crime is soaring. There are areas in cities in France where the police will not even go and Sharia patrols are in control. The situation in Berlin is dire and women are chased and gang raped and the police refuses to do anything and the mayor made the unbelievable statement that maybe women should not wear clothing that muslims consider inappropriate or go to places where refugees are...really? In Austria, the daughter of a member of the European Parliament was taken from a night club and gang raped and the perpetrators showed no remorse whatsoever when captured. This is happening all over Europe and the police in Oslo stated that they "lost" the city. ↗.
In short, the results of the liberal Euro policies are coming back to bite them in the arse and Europe will soon be another dumpster fire.
Very lucky and blessed, indeed.

does he have a license to drive that bus?
No worries, he will let Devonte do the driving...😊
If you make your own arrangements you can easily do it for half that price. Just sayin'...
The Star "got the runs" alright and it comes out as front page stories.😄
Ouch, we did get heavy rain only for a short period of time but enough to get thing wet.
Hopefully all the rain we got will make more fires unlikely.
The Big East does not play football Division I at all so you cannot hold it against it. In basketball they are without any doubt a major conference. Remember, we are talking basketball...
The away record for KU is unbelievable.
If Texas played to its potential, it would be likely 3 or no worse than 4, instead they sit at 7; amazing how poorly Smart has done so far.
How are you doing? Are you back at home? Any damage?
The Big East is ranked #3 after the Big 12 and ACC according to Sagarin and Massey and home of the defending champion and predicted to send 7 teams to the dance matching the all time percentage record set by the Bi 12...pretty major in my book.
Material things can be replaced, people cannot. Good to hear you are all safe and hopefully insurance will cover the material loses, if not, we can have a bucketeer's shed raising, fence fixing party.
Creighton is located in a much bigger city than KSU and plays in the Big East that is a major basketball conference. Also, being a smaller, private, Catholic school might be attractive to the prospect's parents. At this time, no question that it is a more desirable destination than KSU and MU.
I was sweating bullets for a while. I have a 3 car garage but space only for the Beemer convertible, the two other cars were parked on the driveway. Luckily (for me) hail moved north towards Lenexa and Shawnee.
Think about it...he is first team All American...
Be careful and be safe; let us know how you holding up.
That is a couple of miles from my home. Luckily all we had was showers, intense for a few minutes, but gone fairly quickly.
Storm went by. All is safe and calm at JayHawkFanToo's manor...
Payback is a beatch...and her stripper name is Karma.
Indeed. The worst part of the storm is just North of me...keeping fingers crossed.
Will do, stay safe. The heaviest part of the storm is a few minutes away...hopefully no hail...
Yep. You have to see it to believe it...
Absolutely spot on. The media is now more interested in being the story rather than reporting the story.
