@HighEliteMajor Sweet post! That was kick ass!
@BeddieKU23 Cool thread!
SO! I am living in Vermont and the Catamounts of UVM are playing Purdue in 30 minutes....guess who I'm rooting for?
Its actually kind of cool. I mean, all the people I work with that follow basketball are excited that Vermont University got into the NCAA's this year. So, naturally I think its cool too. Small town Vermont school getting into the big dance? Cool right?
But, what if they beat Purdue tonight!? It would ruin one section of my bracket but WHOA that would be awesome!
Oh yah, I forgot Coach Dooley was at FGCU...they almost beat FSU

If KU isn't a one seed I expect a crazy long post from @jaybate-1.0
I expect one anyways :smirk:
@DoubleDD Yeah, you're right. To be honest, I didnt see that SVI got a piece of the ball. I thought he missed.
Im not mad at SVI, at all. But still, had he not bowled that guy over, we may have won that game.
SO, we lost this game. We now get to reflect on whats next.
WIll KU Still get a 1 seed after getting bounced early?
@DoubleDD I agree. This team WITH Josh on the floor is ultra tough.
This team WITH Josh on the floor can absolutely win 6 more games. 6 more.
This team Without Josh? Middle of the league. Ok maybe top 3 or 4 because BIFM!
But still, TCU just beat us because of Josh's apparent inability to keep his head screwed on right off the court and SVI's Hulkamaniac ego showing up at the last second and Hulk Smashing that player, allowing those three game winning free throws.
@JayHawkFanToo He landed right on top of him! in football that would have been a tackle
@nuleafjhawk Oh yah! I forgot, its full contact basketball now. My bad!
Holy Effing bloody hell. SVI You dumb SOB! Of course thats a foul! You just lost the game for us.
@jaybate-1.0 Franks the toughest dude on the team. Whats that military analogy you like using? The Battle of some such or other? Yeah, Franks the guy upfront on the front. First one over the hill.
" Men of 5, still alive through the raging glow, gone insane from the pain that they surely know! For whom the bell tolls!"
@jaybate-1.0 But no, KU is peaking at the right time. All those guys are so in sync right now, its deadly.
KU is Final Four good!
@jaybate-1.0 Josh Jackson?
@jayballer54 Im pretty sure the BBall IQ of said posters on the Kstate board would top out in the single digits
GAME! I cant believe KU got out of the conference with a 16-2 record. Thats just hard core.
@dylans BIFM NPOY
Im posting from Washington DC. Kicking it at the Marriot Marquis. Im here for work. Radiology conference. BUT I had to watch our boys play tonight. Im here until thursday. I'll probly miss the first half of the KU game in the Big 12 tournament cuz I'll be flying back home.
@RockChalkinTexas Yeah, cuz we got beat at HOME! Rofl.
@Crimsonorblue22 Major major bummer. He is so far and away better than Oden ever was. Comparison isn't fair.
Also, hope he heals his knee fully, gets back to the game soon. At least its not his foot again.
@HighEliteMajor Yep. Toughness factor and Frank.
Remember though, Tulsa for the first 2 games. Not that far away. Should have a good KU fan turn out. Then, hopefully in KC for the next two games. Basically home court advantage. Granted, its not AFH but its very close.
@jaybate-1.0 None of them can leave til they hang another National Championship banner in AFH
Hey everybody we said the same thing about Sherron after he left.
Frank and Sherron are so eerily similar in court mentality and their game.
Frank is better though.
We'll get another guard like them again. I believe that.
Man, this year, this season KU has played in and won soooo many close games in crunch time, its not even funny! KU has lived on Saturday, Monday games all season long. This team has been baptized in the fiery crucible of March Madness style games and come out on top.
I want "Nova and KU for the final game in April.
KU has proven it can play against any type of team and win this season. Those Saturday Monday games coming up next month will be like walking to class for them.
I just got a good feeling about this team, I like our chances against anybody.
@jayhawk-007 Well said.
I don't know KU fans, I just have this feeling, a good feeling, about next month.
@jaybate-1.0 Well I hope it doesn't pan out that way. I feel surprisingly good about our boys this year. Earlier on, I didn't think they had a chance in hell. Now, they have proven they can fight til the end and win. That's something last years team didn't have enough of.
Lets see how the brackets fall this time b4 making judgements.
I don't really pay attention to Lunardi's junk any more except to see how other teams are doing. He hardly ever gets close to what actually happens.
East coast bias is real
@jaybate-1.0 said:
I believe board rats are prejudiced against Bill, because he looks increasingly like a near footer Bugs Bunny.
Nah, he looks like a near footer Foghorn Leghorn, freeking crazy rooster!
Just finished watching the game...I was out last night.
Bill Walton is cooky as hell! Got some severe short term memory loss too.
I laughed at everything he said. It was distracting to the game but it was funny.
@ralster I loved seeing COleby out there!
@jaybate-1.0 Absolutamundo!! I don't dislike. Shaka anymore, now that he has had Big 12 servings of humble stew.
This is Shakas chance to learn from literally the best coach in the conference.
I just f.inished watching the game cuz I was out last night Self would have pulled Svi after the first missed trey and the first turnover...well maybe second. Vick was having a great game and I'm glad Coleby got a chance to do some things out there.
Side note, Freeiking Bill Walton
@mayjay Thank you for posting on this, reminding all of us to look at this with rational heads.
KU basketball is just fine people! Kids do dumb Shiite some times. BFD. Lets move on shall we?
This absolutely doesn't affect the integrity of the program as a whole.
In other news. I was watching the Duke/Syracuse game the other day...Dickie V seems to think DG will be back next year as well. I hope he is right. With DG and Svi and Vick back, plus what we have returning and coming in...very hard to say we wont be in the mix for a National Title next year also
@KUSTEVE Good point dude. it wont hurt him in the draft to stay one more year either bcuz he is young enough to be a sophomore right now
Shaking my dam head. Although, I am glad this was taken care of in house. And, I hope this is the last "incident" we will hear about this year.
@Crimsonorblue22 Rolling! :laughing:
@drgnslayr Awesome idea dude!!
@dylans said:
I also hope that KU flys under the radar into the National Championship. I'd rather not play with the biggest bullseye. Leave that to Kentucky, UNC or Duke, we already know KU is better
Just like in 2008 when UCLA, UNC, Memphis were picked more often than KU to win it all.
Just like 2012 when basically no one thought that KU team would make it that far.
@wissox said:
Because the E stands for EAST. They're idiots. We hate them, but keep watching which is the irksome part of it all.
And syracuse fans are idiots for storming the court. For a 2nd time this year.
I know, right!? 'Cuse is a friggin blue blood for cryin out loud!! Storming the court against any team should be beneath them. Does Duke or KU or Kentucky or UNC storm courts after big wins? Don't think so.
I say 'Cuse is a blue blood, cuz they are. Not quite the caliber of us or the other guys but still! Its stupid for a student body of a major div 1 program to court storm over a big win.
Boeheim has been the coach there for how long? 35 years? give or take? He has won how many hundreds of games? Has at least one Title that I can recall.
No. Court storming is obsolete at a program of that caliber. Should be obsolete.

Suspend him the rest of the Big XII season.
And Frank, JJ and LL. I'm sure they were involved in this somehow.
Youre hilarious. :wink:
@kjayhawks that majorly sucks!!! Arrested for that junk on his Bday? Maaaan. major bummer
@approxinfinity Yeah, that's pretty lame. All Pitino had to do was ignore the muther effer. I mean who cares what fans think anyways? right? :wink:
Looks like el poyo might be....chicken ? :laughing:
@Blown I have no idea really, but didn't Texas get a pretty good class coming in next season?
@HawkChamp hell yah KU is a one seed. As long as we can play games in KC, its all good. that's basically home court advantage mid way thru the tourney
@KUSTEVE yep
@cragarhawk Nah, Gonzaga. If they go into the tournament still undefeated, they will probly get the #1 over all.
@HighEliteMajor Solid post, again.
I love it that Coach Self is breaking the mold. It gives me greater hope for a deep run next month...can you believe it!? One more month til The Madness.
Id like to share an article with everyone.
@jaybate-1.0 Howling!
@BShark ok. Bet. IF KU plays WSU in March this year. You against the board. you put up as much money as you are willing to lose on Your WSU team. Everyone else bets on KU, obviously. And when you lose, you owe all of us what you bet on.
@wissox I'm biased but I think Coach Self is coach of the year.
