Here is info ↗ on the other topic...nothing really changes.

Vick Appreciation Thread • Nov 15, 2018 06:28 PM

KU is 7-0 in the last 7 games against teams in the Champions Classic and also 3-0 against UNC.

@justanotherfan

Former wife is the one that said she did not think he would do this, current estranged wife is the one that was allegedly assaulted. Former wife was vouching for him in general and not specifically about the current alleged assault...or at least this is how i understand it.

He is now representing the individual that allegedly verbally assaulted Tucker Carlson's daughter and had a n incident with him at a private club in Virginia a couple of weeks ago. The club investigated the incident and revoked that inidvidual's membership so now he is suing Carlson and creepy porn lawyer is his attorney. SMH.

He is also announced he will likely run for President as a democrat; you can't make this stuff up.

Poor Silvio • Nov 15, 2018 06:13 PM

@mayjay

What is interesting is that Silvio chose to come to KU not because KU paid (it did not) but in spite the the fact the Under Armour paid , allegedly $60K, to go to another school. Sounds like he would have come to KU regardless of the $2,500 on-line class payment by Adidas.

@Woodrow

His seat is very hot. Barring a noticeable improvement over last season, Danny is likely out at Wake Forest.

Mexico misses out on the Game of the year? • Nov 15, 2018 03:46 PM

@justanotherfan

The air quality for LA is currently rated as fair which is normal for the city. The prevailing wind direction in the area is SW to NE or away from LA except for the Santa Ana winds that are East to West. Air quality should not be an issue unless there is a drastic change in wind direction and increase in fires.

In a somewhat relayed story ↗, creepy porn lawyer can now add domestivpc abuser to his resume. What will CNN do, replace him or give him his own show? 82 guest appearances in a couple of months has to be a record.

@HighEliteMajor

Hopefully KU will play to its potential and win both games convincingly.

Hooray, VBers! • Nov 15, 2018 03:20 PM

@kjayhawks

I agree. This team seems to play to the level of the competition and appears to have little determination/motivation. Swept by KSU is not good.

@Kcmatt7

Too early to tell but sure looks like Nova will not be anywhere close to last season but then, it has been only a couple of games and maybe Wright will right the ship. Same situation with Kentucky.

Other Games Tonight • Nov 15, 2018 04:47 AM

Some interesting results, Notre Dame upsets at home by Radford and Boston College also upset at home by IUPUI.

Duke starters went 1-11 from 3 and the rest of the team 4-13 for a putrid 20.8%, I guess they feel that with their 3 starters scoring inside they don’t need outside shooting and it might turn out to be their Achilles heel.

Michigan beats Nova, Indiana over Marquette and Nebraska over Seton Hall and the Big 10 goes 3-0 over the Big East.

Other Games Tonight • Nov 14, 2018 05:32 PM

@Gorilla72

Indiana has several players coming back and is predicted to finish in the top 4. Archie Miller is a very good coach, perhaps the best of the younger coaches, and would be on my list of potential replacements for Coach Self when he retires.

Other Games Tonight • Nov 14, 2018 05:14 PM

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Indiana (-5.5) and Villanova (-7) are playing at home and they should win.

The Next Coach • Nov 14, 2018 05:02 PM

@HighEliteMajor

I suspect Miles will be in the candidate list for every opening so, while KU might be his preferred choice based on his relationship with Long, by no means will be his only choice.

I believe it is more important for KU to have more than one option otherwise it has no leverage in the negotiations.

@BShark

Nice to see a kid that has his priorities straight. I imagine that having the Big Dub as team chaplain helped some...or a lot.👍

Vick Appreciation Thread • Nov 13, 2018 09:04 PM

@HighEliteMajor

Agrees, I posted when he came back that after looking at the real world, he would likely have a much better attitude and work ethic to get where he wants to end. He seems a lot more assertive and focused now.

The Next Coach • Nov 13, 2018 09:01 PM

KU also need some leverage. If Miles knows he is the only option he can ask and get a lot more money; however. if KU is looking at more than one viable prospect then it has some leverage in the negotiations.

The Next Coach • Nov 12, 2018 11:35 PM

@jayballer73

Todd Graham, former coach at Arizona State. Beaty was one of his assistant coaches at Rice. Here is a link with more information ↗. At this time Long needs to have some options otherwise Miles has all the leverage; could be a decent option.

Mitch • Nov 12, 2018 11:23 PM

@justanotherfan

Mitch shot 35% last season and he is supposedly shooting better this season.

The Next Coach • Nov 12, 2018 05:03 PM

Petrino fired at Louisville, does it mean competition for KU for Miles?

@justanotherfan

Does not look like that will happen...

BShark said:

Oklahoma State was up 52-30 with 12 minutes to go and lost.

Controversial play to end the game. State up by 3 with 7 seconds left and they foul to send the other team to the line instead of hitting the 3. Typical foul but the refs call it flagrant so they get to shoot and made 2 FTs, got the ball out of bounds, inbound and hit a 3 to win the game.

Crush the Cardinals • Nov 11, 2018 08:18 PM

Mahomes has been sacked 5 times and the OL has become ineffective. 7 penalties against the Chiefs.

Devontae Update • Nov 11, 2018 08:15 PM

@AsadZ

At this time it is best to play 30+ minutes on the G League than warm the bench at the top level. He is getting great experience for when he is called and he will be much better prepared.

Boston Brickmasons are getting spanked • Nov 11, 2018 03:29 PM

@approxinfinity

Yes, McGruder has progressed nicely and he is now a starter and solid rotation player but he is in his 6th year in the League. Usually it takes years to get there and only the very top prospects start and star early.

Volleyball team down 2 sets to 1 to Texas.

Not too far off and KU covered the spread.

Joel Freaking Embiid • Nov 10, 2018 08:26 PM

@BShark

No 3 point shots in Wilt’s era and I am not sure they kept block stats either but I would like to see how his stats compare to Embiid.

Could this be the start? • Nov 10, 2018 08:04 PM

That was ugly...untouched...SMH.

Mitch • Nov 10, 2018 07:03 PM

@BShark

Yep. Just like that. :smile:

Could this be the start? • Nov 10, 2018 07:02 PM

Come on guys, play nice. A win by KU and might not see Snyder coaching again.:thumbsup:

Mitch • Nov 10, 2018 06:59 PM

@BShark

He shot 0.667 in his freshman year.:smile:

Could this be the start? • Nov 10, 2018 06:50 PM

I guess this will not end up 3-3...:smile:

Joel Freaking Embiid • Nov 10, 2018 06:46 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 @jayballer73

One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor or perhaps more applicable in this situation...one team’s cancer is another team’s treasure. Remember, Tarik Black was considered a cancer at Memphis and yet he was great at KU. Butler is an alpha dog and going to a team with 2 other alpha dogs in Embiid and Simmons and maybe a third one in Redick; it will interesting how the chemistry works out.

Joel Freaking Embiid • Nov 10, 2018 06:38 PM

@Woodrow

I wonder how he will fit with Embiid and Simmons. Covington and Saric are solid starters, Bayless has not played this season, has a high $ contract and will likely be waived. Patton has not played either and might also be a potential waive. Sixers traded its starting PF and SF for a SG; maybe they will play 4 out 1 in.

Mitch • Nov 10, 2018 05:09 PM

Didn’t he make something like 6-8 from 3 in a Summer exhibition game? He is streaky and if he is in the zone and making them he might take several in one game, depending on playing time. I will go with Mitch shooting close to 50% from 3 and taking 25-30 shots.

Boston Brickmasons are getting spanked • Nov 10, 2018 11:20 AM

Monster game for Embiid. 42 points, 18 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 blocks in OT game against Charlotte; 16 points in the fourth quarter, 14 of 16 from the FT line in the 4th quarter and OT.

Completely new coaching staff with a Russian HC and with staff with little NBA coaching experience.

@approxinfinity

Funny how liberals held on to every word Dershowitz said in support of liberal causes but when he cites the law and constitution to argue against impeachment he is a paid pundit. The double standard by liberals never ceases to amaze me.

Woodward and Bernstein uncovered Watergate with nothing more than land lines in a few months. Mueller has been at it with an army of lawyers and all resource needed for close to two years and has nothing to show in the way of a Russian collusion with Trump.

Buffalo beats West Viriginia at home. Buffalo is good but WVU should not be losing to them.

Other Games Tonight • Nov 10, 2018 01:43 AM

Kentucky has a lot of raw talent and potential but low Basketball IQ and they need to learn to play together as a team and inexperience is showing. They will get better as the season progresses but their season can go sideways pretty quick. This will be a long season for Cal and Kentucky fans...I like it.:smile:

FBI...here we go • Nov 10, 2018 12:43 AM

This is really weird....

BYU said in a statement that the university, the coaching staff and the athletic department had no knowledge of the infractions and that they disagreed with vacating wins. The NCAA didn't identify Emery by name but the university's statement said the case involved him.

The university also said that it plans to appeal the decision because it considers the vacating of wins to be too harsh and not consistent with recent cases.

"This sanction includes the most severe vacation-of-record penalty ever imposed in the history of NCAA Division I basketball for infractions that included no institutional knowledge or involvement," the statement said. "In addition, in the case most similar to this situation, appropriate penalties were imposed, but no wins were vacated."

Cougars coach Dave Rose said in a statement that he was disappointed by the ruling and supported the university's plan to appeal.

Emery withdrew from school last season due to personal problems and the reports of improper benefits. The 6-foot-2 guard returned to the program in April and has been reinstated by the NCAA but is sitting out the first nine games of this season. He served as a captain during the 2016-17 season and was third on the team with 13.1 points per game and second with 75 3-pointers.

Emery said on Twitter on Friday that "my intentions were never to hurt the program or university. I'm grateful to Coach Rose and the university for standing by me throughout this entire process."

So...he was reinstated by the NCAA and sitting out 9 games like it has been the case for similar violation but the forfeiting of games is new and seems to be grossly disproportional....in the meantime UNC that offered fake classes to athletes with the full knowledge of the program skates away scot-free?

I believe BYU has a good case to sue the NCAA.

@kjayhawks

I really don't know what to make of this game. It is likely the only winnable game left for both teams and both are playing for their respective coaches; KU to give Beaty a parting gift and KSU to maybe save Snyder's job.

I believe it will be a close game, maybe 3-7 points with the score in the mid 20s to low 30s and with a lucky break being the difference.

Mitch • Nov 10, 2018 12:25 AM

@BShark

Gotta love Mitch...

@approxinfinity

You have brought up impeachment before. Exactly what illegal thing has he done? Read the Dershowitz article, even if he called the Russians and asked for help there is no grounds for impeachment since there is nothing in the constitution or the law that makes it criminal. Don't take my word for it, listen to what a very liberal constitutional scholar and attorney has to say. He is not the only one that leans this way, most every review I have read written by very knowledgeable constitutional scholars and attorneys of all political persuasions seem to agree with him. It is not and has never been a question of having votes in congress, it is a question of whether there is justification and at this time there is none, zero, nada, zilch and it would be overturned in a New York second by the SCOTUS. Again, this is the opinion of people a hell of a lot more knowledgeable and more familiar with the constitution and the law than any one of us here is.

Maxine Waters and others have been calling for his impeachment since before he was even inaugurated. She still wants to impeach Trump and appoint Hillary president...really? and I mean REALLY? Is she not familiar with the constitution?...and she is a US congresswoman...unbelievable; short of howling at the moon I can't think of anything that would make her more of a lunatic...and she is the face of the impeachment movement. SMH.

@Kcmatt7

Al the rumors about Fuente are from a year ago when FSU and Tennessee( among other big programs) were allegedly interested. He was not interested then and does not seem to be interested now and, if he wants to leave, he would be at the top of every list and KU would have zero chance of getting him...short of making him the highest paid coach in college football.
