@JayHawkFanToo His rankings aren't only wrong; they are misleading. We are much better than last year on defense, but you wouldn't know it by kenpom's rankings.
@JhawkAlum you can send me a private message, and I'll hook you up...
@wrwlumpy I lived in lubbock for years, so very nice story. I remember going to the old Coliseum to watch Bubba Jennings back in the day. Good stuff!
@konkeyDong He's a whiny little bitch boy on kusports. He has been crying for months we hadn't signed anyone.
@Crimsonorblue22 Rodney can SUCK IT !!!!...LOL. That is one hell of a great recruit- he is perfect for us...
@JhawkAlum HELL YES !!!!!!
@HighEliteMajor The first half, we looked like we had never seen a zone defense in our life. It wasn't just poor shooting - it was poor strategy.
I love your posts. Your repeated comments over an argument from weeks back are beneath you, and what you bring to these boards. I would hope you would rare back and fire, no matter who you piss off- if they're pissed off, that's their problem. We need great minds to break everything down ...sometimes that analysis is not going to be milk and honey. That's the curse you carry for knowing bb a lot more than most of us, myself included. So, please carry on.
@wissoxfan83 I am not down on Perry; I'm down on his performance last night. There's a big difference. The guy I'm down on is Wayne, who almost singlehandily won us the game. No one can tell me that Wayne couldn't do what he did the last two minutes the entire game. Quit deferring, Wayne.
My click to pick was Jamari, who played outstanding. Frank, and Brannen were essential last night. Whoever kidnapped the real Perry Ellis should bring him back, Cliff having 1 rebound in 20 minutes....huh? Oubre had a bad offensive night, but came up with 4 steals to lead our team. Ugly game, but zone defenses do that to you.
@jaybate-1.0 He won't be fishing tonight - it's going to be in the forties here, with 30mph winds...brrrrrr! I'm going to have to wear a jacket tomorrow...
Really glad to see Greene assert himself. The second half we saw a Jamari we haven't seen this year. Frank was simply clutch - kept us in the game without trying to over-do it. Selden was flat terrible...until it counted. Then he was CLUTCH. This team refuses to lose- BIG 12 CHAMPS DEFENDING THEIR TITLE!!!!
@joeloveshawks That is not you thinking. It is you knowing.
That, too....lol.
@Crimsonorblue22 I'm going to be up awhile. that game got the blood pumping...
@Crimsonorblue22 I thought we played better with Perry on the bench.
@jaybate-1.0 Upvote for the Drew slam reference.
@DanR OMG>>>LMFAO... ' HE SHOOTS...HE SCORES!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Kip_McSmithers That too...lol.
@brooksmd if you want to blog here- i'll join in. i don't like the other sites...
@Crimsonorblue22 Perry pulled a mangina. Hopefully, it will heal.
Sometimes you get the bear- sometimes the bear gets you. We got the bear.
@Crimsonorblue22 WINNER...WINNER..CHICKEN DINNER...
Bring your gun- We're Hunting BEAR ...

Coach Self is pictured with his latest trophy.
@Jesse-Newell I'm sorry, Jesse ...I don't see a bad defense like last year's edition.
I know we will beat Faylor, the only question will be by how much. I say we win by 8 points.
@JayHawkFanToo Kenpom's numbers are illogical. 46th in defense...really?
@Jesse-Newell I appreciate the explanation concerning UConn. All this time I thought he was cooking the books. I still think his rating on our defense is way, way off.
@Jesse-Newell Jesse, the next time you talk to Ken, ask him what the magic formula he used from moving UConn from 33rd pre-tourney to 8th last year. The obvious answer would be "they won". But in examining it closer, I don't see how their offense or defense ranking changed that much, so was it really SOS or "luck" that changed so much that they moved up 27 spots?
@jaybate-1.0 LOL
And I met Ms. LeBrock once. Quite as stunning in person as on screen.
I'm seething with envy. I would've walked on glass barefooted to meet her. Hubba Hubba!!!!!!!
@wrwlumpy Hello Newman!
Great Minds Think Alike ( GMTA )...LOL. You wrote my first thought I had.

@HighEliteMajor Speaking of threes, I read where we are 29th in 3pt FG% at 39.2, and 293rd in number of 3pointers attempted. I'd like to see 30 attempts every game from here on out, starting with Faylor, and their lame zone defense.
@BeddieKU23 Can you imagine when a healthy Devonte hits the lineup w/ Frank and Kelly? Vitale will be saying, "RUNOUT CITY, BABY".
@jaybate-1.0 You think Liberace would get canned by the Kitties? Who is going to play piano at all the Mildcat functions?
@jaybate-1.0 All time classic post. I felt exactly the same way- they looked like 2008 for a large chunk of the game, and the offense came from all over the place. No more lazy entry passes to the post followed by interior guys not finishing - our post guys went MOBILE, just like the Transformers. Optimus Prime would have to be Frank- who would have a brilliant game- a game where we now know that he can lead this team to the promised land.
It is so good seeing you this excited again. I got excited watching our team dismantle a pretty good team.
@Crimsonorblue22 I might be the most myopic KU fan anywhere. I have to have non-KU friends to tell me when I'm full of it...lol.
@HighEliteMajor Oh, what the hell do they know anyway
@HighEliteMajor All my non-KU bb buds are saying 90% chance he signs with the Mildcats.
@Crimsonorblue22 Absolutely...bring your swim suit...
@Crimsonorblue22 Near Tampa, Fl. It will be 83 today. I'm sorry.
@BeddieKU23 He actually visited UK a week after he visited us. Sure hope he picks us...
@BeddieKU23 That would be HUGE. HUGE. Did I mention it was HUGE?
@joeloveshawks KU Basketball is like a box of chocolates - you never know what you're gonna get!!!! I say we win by 9 points, and Cliff leads us in scoring today...Cliff is my pick to click today...
@Crimsonorblue22 It IS cold where I live, too. It got all the way down to 63 degrees last night.
@wissoxfan83 I saw that, Wis. RIP, Ellie.
@sfbahawk I wish I could upvote your post 1,000 times.
I don't see that at all. He's just like Harbaugh - the pro athlete attitude would annoy the crap out of him. My 2 cents worth, anyway.
@wrwlumpy Me too, buddy...me too. I wished I was a critter back then. Just got home from work, and saw Crimson's post about her passing away. May she rest in peace.
@Crimsonorblue22 Wow..had no clue she passed away. I was madly in something with her when I was young. She being my cousin and all...
UNLV is a very tall, athletic team, and it appears their cheerleading squad is very tall as well. I wonder if the fans are going to have problems seeing over their feathers...
