Juiston • Apr 22, 2017 05:51 PM

I thought Juiston was going to Iowa St?

Damm , when is this going to stop • Apr 22, 2017 05:49 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Dude, shes a playmate. I'm sure she isn't hurting for money right now. This sounds like revenge to me for something. I mean, It could be greed, money driven but more likely shes just trying to stick it to him again. Jealousy, revenge, etc

Damm , when is this going to stop • Apr 22, 2017 05:47 PM

Yeah, I saw that...as soon as I did, I didn't believe a word of it.
His EX has history of rather unstable behavior. I remember her losing her head and being a crazy stalker girl accusing Jeff of cheating on her over on Instagram. She aired that junk out where everyone could see it! Come the frak on, stable people with cool heads don't do that kind of stuff.
NO, I don't believe a word of what she says as truth. Jeff is innocent until proven guilty and I'm betting he will end up suing her for defamation. Patently false are the words I read in the article.
Poor Jeff, having to deal with this shit while he is playing in the first post season series of his career.

@mayjay HA! nice. thats a great one!

So National Championships Matter? • Apr 21, 2017 01:34 AM

@jayballer54 Roy is in the HOF! I had to check my self bcuz I wasnt sure. He got in back in 07 I believe.

But still, head to head match up between Coach Self and WIlliams? I'll take Bill every day of the week. He is undefeated against Roy. He beat him once when he was at Illinois and then 3 times since hes been at KU. Thats no fluke. He is just better.

So National Championships Matter? • Apr 21, 2017 01:32 AM

Coach is 54. You were right the first time there buddy. ;)

Sure, Titles matter! Sure they do! Is Roy a better coach than Bill Self? NO way man. No way. @jaybate-1-0 will wax philosophic basketball alllll day long on this topic. This is about east coast bias. Take a look at the last 10 years for example. Which team that won the national title didnt belong to the east coast mega media outlet?
ZERO. thats how many. Well shoot 2008 was 9 years ago so change that number to 1. Every other team to win the national title since then has been attached to the east coast. Uconn, Duke, UNC, Louisville, Kentucky...all of them. Its stacking the decks in the favor of the east coast because thats where all the money is in college ball.

Will KU win another title during Bill Self's tenure? I sure believe he will get another ring, hang another banner, cut down more nets. He is just too good.

Good post by the way. Thought provoking.

Dig the new format! • Apr 21, 2017 01:23 AM

Well done! This looks great!

TREPIDATION FOR NEXT YEAR. • Apr 18, 2017 10:55 PM

@wrwlumpy Its KU. Of course we're gonna be good. I'm really not worried. After 14 years of Bill Self, I am learning to just roll with it. We'll be good. Oh, and I'm betting that SVI comes back.

TREPIDATION FOR NEXT YEAR. • Apr 18, 2017 10:53 PM

@wrwlumpy Well, lets be honest. Josh has been the best freshman OAD at KU. NOT the best Freshman. I think that distinction belongs to someone named Wilt...or Danny Manning if we are splitting hairs.

Angels Vs Royals -- Game 1 • Apr 15, 2017 06:01 PM

So Royals fans, are we doomed to be an MLB doormat for the next 30 years...again?

Cheick ballin at the next level • Apr 14, 2017 10:36 PM

@JayHawkFanToo LoL, yah and Joel Embiid totally embarrassed Withey with a dream shake. Brutal!

@JayHawkFanToo I also respectfully disagree about the NC bathroom bill. Roe v Wade got to supreme court, so did other hot button issues. This has all the potential to be a very heated topic of discrimination. I'm not saying it will get there, just that it has the potential to. Its completely mental. But, it is discrimination and given the right circumstances or the right incident, right case. Yah, it could get that far.

Yeah, he's gone you guys. top 3 pick in the draft. I'm betting he just wanted to get all this legal stuff taken care of first. Let his mind clear a bit then make his choice public.

Josh had a better season at KU than Wiggins did. He's gone. He should be!

Frank Mason hilight video • Apr 14, 2017 07:38 PM

Speaking of Frank. Ive been thinking that we as KU fans might need to be ok with him getting snubbed in the draft.
My thing is, who the hell doesn't draft the consensus all American and NPOY in the first round!? It doesn't make sense. Frank deserves a 1st round pick. BUT, he might not get it, simply because he is under 6ft.
His thing is, if that happens, it'll just motivate him even more to prove them wrong and to make any team he lands with better. I give Isaiah Thomas as an example. IT is an All Star and starting for the Celtics. He got picked #60 in his draft. IT is smaller than Frank! he is listed at 5'9"
Frank is a beast. Which ever team picks him up with their draft choice or off of free agency after summer league will get the steal of the draft this year. I am certain he will land with a team. He just might not get picked in the 1st round like we all know he deserves.

Frank Mason hilight video • Apr 14, 2017 07:32 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 Frank's the GOAT

@KUSTEVE said
I want to see us back in the national championship game. We've been close the last two years. It's coming.

I agree dude! I was just thinking the same thing my self earlier today. Two straight elite 8s. We are Soooo close.
I'm betting the house that Bill gets KU to another title within 5 years.

@JayHawkFanToo Coach Self has been prescient in his ability to manage KU hoops as its leader and coach since he arrived here. But, if what you say could happen and Coach Self got pushed up against the ropes, do you not think he would fight with everything he has and that he would win? I sure as hell do.

@jaybate-1.0 I respect your position on this topic and your views on KU basketball, on Roy and on all of college ball in general. That's why I asked. So if you need to let it go, then consider it done.

I didn't watch the title game. I rarely do watch the title game unless KU is in it.

But, I do believe that the East coast bias is real.

We'll put this up in a little compartment for later. I'm sure this topic will come around again at a better time.

Bragg is leaving • Apr 10, 2017 07:45 PM

@dylans I hope it works out for him. Personally I'm sad to see him go. He wasn't a dick at KU. Not a thug, not a bad influence. He just didn't fit in Self's system and he made some bad errors in judgement but I cant hold that against him because who doesn't do that when they are in college?

Is old man Ball a racist? • Apr 10, 2017 07:43 PM

@dylans Noooooo I typed racist. But that wouldn't surprise me either about that POS.

@jaybate-1.0 You said something about Roy after UNC won the title that has stuck with me. You mentioned that you had lost all respect for Roy. I understand your sentiments, to a point. I mean, UNC and Roy are currently involved in some sticky poo with the NCAA and their classes that weren't classes. I also seem to remember you saying something about the title game, in terms of how you changed your feelings about Roy but currently those details escape me.

I am wondering why the change of heart? I mean he is a KU alum and one of KU's best coaches. During his 15 years as head coach of KU he was a Fracking boy scout. I have to believe that he is still the same boy scout. Why would he change his MO this late in his career? It doesn't make sense to me.

What Made Frank's Season So Great? • Apr 10, 2017 06:20 PM

@jaybate-1.0 Freeking solid post.

Frank is at the moment, my favorite Jayhawk ever. The thing that pulled my heart strings the most is when he said" If I could stay at KU four more years, I swear I would."

Tear jerker comment like that from a big badass like Frank. Game over, he is my favorite.

Is old man Ball a racist? • Apr 10, 2017 02:20 AM

@brooksmd He's a racist SOB. There is no excuse for words like that.

If it walks and quacks like a duck... What is it?!

@jaybate-1.0 said:

Hey, maybe Carlton can join Conner at WSU!!!

Just kidding, I hope.

Shame on you! Give yourself a time out right now young man!

@JayHawkFanToo I'll go ahead and add Udoka to that list.

DG news! • Apr 10, 2017 01:59 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 YAH! FREEKIN FRAK YAH!! DG! D-TAE'

Ok now I'm done jumping and hollering.

We all knew we were going to be good next year. DG coming back just solidifies that.

SVI is coming back unless he is going pro over seas. Svi isn't NBA ready yet and I'm fairly certain his parents are in his ear bout getting his degree from KU

Bragg is leaving • Apr 06, 2017 11:49 PM

@KUSTEVE Yep. I tweeted him, #jayhawk4ever

@jaybate-1.0 I didn't even watch the game.

East Coast bias is real.

Sucks that Roy sold himself down the river

Bragg is leaving • Apr 06, 2017 11:44 PM

@BeddieKU23 Nooooo. Come on.

Shady. Cole Aldrich, Jeff Withey, Darnell Jackson, Sasha Kaun, the Twins, TRob, Joel Embiid, Landen Lucas. yah I put him there.

Shit happens and you cant always control what your guys do. It doesn't mean Coach Self needs to alter his approach to recruiting one little bit

Bragg is leaving • Apr 06, 2017 11:42 PM

@YellowBeak Yeah, the writing was on the wall. I personally am sad to see him go but lets be honest, it really wasn't a great fit for B ragg

I mean, his game never really meshed with Bill Selfs system this year at all. At all at all.

Final Four Game Thread • Apr 02, 2017 12:39 AM

@approxinfinity I really wanted Frank Martin and SC to beat Gonzaga. I really dislike them intensely and its completely irrational. I have no reason.

I really wouldn't be upset to see Ole Roy get another title. He also deserves to be in the Hall

Frank Mason III is the Gold Standard • Apr 02, 2017 12:38 AM

@bskeet Yep. Frank is poised to sweep all of the NPOY awards. All of them. That is truly amazing.

Coach Self is a hall of famer. Amazing

KU's continued excellence evidenced by 13 straight conference champs and two straight Elite 8s.

Lets wait anxiously for next season to pan out for the roster.

I'm betting that our front court will be unstoppable next season.

Our guards will be not as good as this year, for sure, but we have a Hall of Fame coach! He will find a way

TCU WINS NIT • Apr 02, 2017 12:33 AM

@KUSTEVE Yeah, saw that. Congrats to TCU! Way to represent the Big 12!

Its a good day to be a Jayhawk fan.

We had a great season.

13 straight conference champs

2nd straight Elite 8

Frank Mason poised to run the table of NPOY awards!

Coach Self is a Hall of Famer!

KU got beat by a better team • Mar 29, 2017 07:33 PM

@jayhawk-007 Nice post. Man, that was a really tough loss to swallow. I felt bad for the players. They must have felt even worse than we did. But you are right. We will be back next year and just as good.

Selden V. Jackson • Mar 29, 2017 07:03 PM

@wissox NO doubt in my mind. If Udoka was healthy we would still be dancing.

So Now That The Season Is Over • Mar 26, 2017 03:15 AM

@BShark I hope Frank at least gets drafted and makes an NBA roster after winning NPOY. He deserves that much.

So Now That The Season Is Over • Mar 26, 2017 03:14 AM

This is a tough loss to swallow.

Imagine what the players are going through right now! Franks done, Josh is done, Landen is done. Tyler is done too.

I bet they are all hurting right now. Especially Coach Self.

It might be too soon to look to next season but since we ended like this, maybe Graham comes back and Svi comes back.

Our front court is going to be beastly good next season.

Our back court might not be as potent but it will still be good.

We are KU and we will be contenders once again.

Heartbreaking loss. This stings to be sure. I just hope that Frank gets NPOY and that Josh gets picked in the top 3 of the draft.

@Blown Hey, we made our FTs.

Damm. I wasn't ready for this. I was sure we were a final four team this year. Heart breaker, really.

OREGON DUCKS - SATURDAY - 7:49 P.M. - TBS • Mar 25, 2017 05:34 PM

Its strange but I don't feel the same level of anxiety over this game tonight as I did before the Purdue game. Maybe its because we have man handled everyone in our way so far, since the NCAAs have started? I don't know, but I'm excited to see our boys play. Its gonna be a good game.

Let the firings begin • Mar 25, 2017 01:51 AM

@KUSTEVE Yeah, I saw that. Wish that guy the best of luck.

Washington Post gives KU some big love • Mar 25, 2017 01:50 AM

KU looks unstoppable! ↗ For your reading pleasure

Okay This Is Funny • Mar 25, 2017 01:49 AM

@JayHawkFanToo Wait...what? So now he is taking shots at KU? When did he say this? He is completely mental. Bonkers!

Oregon Matchups • Mar 25, 2017 01:41 AM

Washington Post article I found about the KU game against Purdue, for your reading pleasure ↗

For discussions sake, what happens if KU gets past Oregon tomorrow and ends up meeting UNC in the final four?

Would Roy have a better feel for what Bill would do and vice versa?

Its a very likely scenario.

Oregon Matchups • Mar 24, 2017 10:47 PM

@hawkmoon2020 Of course its an advantage! That happens when your a 1 seed. Rock Chalk

Oregon Matchups • Mar 24, 2017 10:44 PM

We match up well with Oregon. Four guards, one big. Lots of shooters, play good defense, play good offense.

Thing is. KU has home court advantage. If Oregon even wants to have a fighting chance at beating KU, it has to come out swinging and knock the 6th man out of it.

Call me biased, but I don't see that happening. KU is just too too good. Its crazy what they have done to MSU and Purdue!!

Obliteration seems an apt description.

Who among us saw this coming!?

KU is playing defense like it was 2008 and playing offense like they are the Golden State Warriors.

Kenpom says that Oregon is a very good team. They are..

Thing is, KU is even better right now.

Okay This Is Funny • Mar 24, 2017 10:33 PM

@BShark Personally, I could see Purdue give up. I saw it in their faces, in their body language. I saw their will break into shards, it was around the 4 minute mark. The light just went out. The white flag was raised.

3 more games.
