Harris is tying this squad together
He was one of the nicest guys last year after the game here in Austin.
Keep it up guys. Head's up!
ISU just took the lead 23 20 with 1minuute+ left
Tristan fighting
Jalen looks so different without his hair
@Crimsonorblue22 When he actually had it on!
@msanchez 2 players? Hadn't
Y'all see a Gonzaga PLAYER and staff member tested F'ING POSITIVE?
UT turned it over on 4th and inches in red.zone
@BeddieKU23 The other guys got lazy last year with Dok doing it most of the time.
@msanchez They listened to HCBS.

Can Enaruna not be our five? He looks gigantic
His defense is arguably the worst on the team
And it can't help that he struggles with short jumpers
UT leads ISU 20 16 in 4th q3
Mitch doesn't look like he grew any muscle strength
Haven't seen any out of time out feeds yet

I'm not sure how to describe Dave's defense... Boisterous?
Scary
Meed to take advantage of the bonus
Young guns meed to step up!!
We don't have a #BIFM
How much did Bruce Pearl lose by?
Rock Chalk. It's early on in HCBS figuring out how to build the best 5.
@wrwlumpy Hey buddy. Great to hear from you. I am thinking of purchasing a "fan board" of a #Jayhawk to put in the stands here in Austin for their home UT games. WDYT? Anybody buying one for AFH? I heard they are $69. Is that right?
I turn the Big 65 Friday:birthday_cake: . Joe Biden has the same birthday! And RFK, Edwin Hubble, Bo Derek, Estelle Parsons, Richard Dawson, and Joe Walsh, to name a few. We are all good here and hope you and yours are healthy and safe.:kiss_mark:
Maybe if life ever gets back to normal I can get tickets from Tyler! I have good friends who have been season ticket owners since the beginning of the first Austin Toros and now Austin Spurs who got to do a zoom call with Tyler last week. She hopes he stays awhile as their one from last year moved on so quickly. I think Tyler has always wanted to be a managerial type/coach and he can find out if this is what he wants to do. There's a good following but by no means is there a full arena each time they play but they have won 2 championships so far and with the talent that switched back and forth from San Antonio to Austin it's a big draw for people who crave a major league sports club here.
Ben Carson has the virus. How many more can they afford to come down with the rona before there is no one left to hang on to the fact that this was all a"HOAX" and would MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR ON NOV. 4TH?
BIDEN WINS!
HATE LOOSES!
WOMEN WIN!
BLM!
I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sen. Whitehouse was MASTERFUL in his presentation. I especially liked the bug-eyed facial expressions of Lady G (lindsey), Cornhole (cornyn) and Starkiss (meadows) as he was exposing all the senators who had 'written' briefs, along with ACB screaming in her expressions to STOP THE TRUTH. Noticed that more people came back in as he was making the case against dark money (thanks to citizen united). As we say in sports, he dunked on GOP like Wayne Selden @Baylor!!!
The bods look great!

It was physically draining to sit through the entire debate. After, it was impossible to not question why the 30%+ of our country hate so much. They are taught to be that way and are teaching future generations to hate more. We can't let them get any of us to give up. I am more enthusiastic about early voting in person, even though I am compromised, than I have been in my over 50 years of voting. Don't let him drag us backwards.

Hey there!!! Burning up. Got no rain from Hurricane Hanna. It's been over 100 for better than 30 days so far and this whole week it's going to be over 100 with no rain in sight. We got a good crop of beans and cucumbers but they are not worth watering anymore. Mostly concentrating on keeping all my trees, palm trees and flower gardens from drying up. Have put off going anywhere and have only gone to grocery store 3 times since March 12th. It's bad in the Austin area and so grateful I live where I can control who we come into contact with. We ran out of milk this weekend (for white russians!!! for me) and may need to go to the market in the closest city to me, about 12 miles away. It's not a very crowded store but you sure do pay more than twice the price say at Walmart, but not having to deal with that outweighs the cost, IMO.
I have followed him as he has gone through high school and believe it's a great get for our program. He was on live ABC local station to announce. Of course they were hoping for UT, but even in the paper today, there was a big article at the top of the front page of the sports section, with the headline: WESTLAKE STAR ADAMS MAKES HIS CHOICE: 'KANSAS, BABY'
The announcement with over 50 friends and family gave out party favors of bottles of Jayhawk-decorated hand sanitizers.
Here's the text of the article in case anyone wants to read his glowing praise of HCBS!!
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy.

When it comes to college basketball, Westlake fans have a couple of schools in the Big 12 to root for.
Three former Chaparrals — Brock Cunningham, Will Baker and Shay Holle — are now playing at Texas. Matthew Mayer is playing at Baylor.
But when asked this weekend about which Big 12 team the Chaparrals should pledge their allegiance to, rising senior KJ Adams presented a new option.
“Kansas, baby. Rock Chalk, Jayhawk,” Adams said with a smile.
Inside a basketball gym in South Austin, Adams announced his commitment to Kansas on Friday on live TV. He revealed his plans in front of 50 mask-wearing friends and family members. Bottles of Jayhawks-decorated hand sanitizer were given out as party favors.
Adams said he made up his mind more than a week ago and that Kansas coach Bill Self was the deciding factor. Adams said he had talked with around a dozen players who did and did not attend Kansas, and that he consistently received positive feedback about KU’s coach.
“With all this quarantine stuff, I didn’t have a chance to go out there,” Adams said. “I’m just blessed to know that no one has ever talked bad about him or said anything about him. That’s rare to see as a coach. You always get one player that says something bad about a coach.”
Adams, a four-star power forward, is the state’s sixth-best prospect for the 2021 recruiting cycle, according to 247Sports’ composite ratings. The 6-foot-7 big man was a unanimous selection to the Statesman’s All-Central Texas team this past winter. As a junior, he averaged 22.6 points and 6.7 rebounds.
What should Kansas fans expect out of him? Westlake coach Robert Lucero had a list of intangibles.
Athleticism? Check.
Defensive versatility? Check.
High basketball IQ? Check.
“Everybody wants to win, but to truly sacrifice for wins and then be happy at the end of the night regardless of how many points you put up, that’s kind of rare,” Lucero said. “I think that attitude will fit in well when he gets to college.”
With his commitment, Adams added another accomplishment to his family’s archive of athletic achievements. His father, Kevin, played football at New Mexico. His sister, Brittany, was an all-conference volleyball player at SMU. And Adams’ mother, the former Yvonne Hill, twice led Texas A&M women’s basketball team in scoring.
Like his mother and sister, Adams could have chosen an in-state school. Texas, Texas Tech and Baylor were among his suitors. Adams, though, has decided to forge his path outside of the state.
“It wasn’t really about location for me,” he said. “It was just about what I can do to be a better basketball player. Location is one thing and basketball is another thing.
“It doesn’t matter about my (comfort level) with the state or who’s there. I think whatever was the best place for basketball for me, wherever it is, I was going to go there.”**
Sorry for making gifs but that's the only way I could post pictures from my phone because jpgs are too large.
Hi All and just checking in. First day in weeks that I have even turned on my computer. Like a lot of you, my gardening has been my sanctuary and most enjoyable thing. This weekend I figured out how to turn on the irrigation systems (8 zones). Mike always did. The girls provided so much knowledge of the planting of some green beans, cucumbers, peppers, potatoes and tomatoes. Began seedlings and have just now put them into the ground. Hadn't been tilled in 3 years so during Feb and March spent a lot of time taking my frustrations out on weeding and clearing new patches. I ended up with thousands of wild sunflowers in there and began my butterfly garden last year and expanded a bit this year. Has been beautiful sitting out there weeding and watching hummers, butterflies, honey bees, bumble bees and birds flying around me. The girls and I had done a huge, 2 cart shopping trip on March 2nd and the last time I went anywhere was on March 9 for my mammogram. I've been doing a lot of baking (breads, cakes, cookies, cupcakes) and have traded some of the goodies to neighbors who have brought us milk and bread. Guy across the street is bringing me more sugar and vegetable oil this week as I used a whole lot more sugar for the hummers. Have a lively group of them. We set up the ping pong table and play a lot and then the girls can play basketball, tennis in the driveway and we are going to put up a volleyball net and play badminton. There is no shortage of work to be done around the house and I always look forward to a White Russian at the end of the day. I found a brand new bottle of Kahula and there was plenty of vodka and we had a bunch of milk, so that has helped me. Haven't been able to keep my yearly doctor visits but am not feeling any issues and just keep livin' ALLRIGHT ALLRIGHT ALLRIGHT
Am so fortunate to live where we do as social distancing is not a problem. I just couldn't imagine living in a small apartment in the middle of a huge apartment complex. I am spoiled. Does are getting ready for the fawn births.
Have recorded all the KU games that were at first being broadcast and it was so different watching them again from a whole different perspective. So enjoyed seeing all my old favorites and so thankful for all that program has given to us all. Can't wait for whatever comes next. I felt so sorrowful for the guys and coaches that they never got the chance to finish the season. I know how much it had to hurt them.
RockChalk and Stay Safe!
@nwhawkfan that was on the other night and we watched it.
With recording you can pass commercials.
@Crimsonorblue22
I've recorded as many as I can. Never hurts to have back ups😁
The game we watched last night was vs Texas and Durant. Joe Dooley was there and Coach T was so young looking.
BIFM was robbed
I can't believe Hunter was our big!
Where's Svi? Was he here then?
The Austin paper had 28-4
I hated Spangler every year
Takes us each back in time. Kinda cool. Higgins has been in the last 3 games I've watched🤢 Perry is watching I am sure. Everyone see the video of d'tae commenting on his and others play? Hanni said they have been considering having other players do it and to stay tuned. Girls and I watched it twice and it was good to laugh after the last week. Stay safe Bucketeers♥️🙏💙
