All Politicked Out? Election 2020 • Nov 04, 2020 02:38 AM

I think Biden is going to lose.

Pennsylvania and Ohio. If Biden wins there it gets hard for Trump.

This is Joel Embiid's team.

All Politicked Out? Election 2020 • Nov 03, 2020 11:26 PM

Well here we are. No biggie. Nothing riding on this one!

With 50+ % of projected votes cast and counted, it's expected a large initial lead for the Democrats that slowly declines over the night.

102million already cast early voting or absentee. We'll see.

I agree about Braun. He rarely was on the floor and not contributing positively in some way . I will say there were games early on when Enaruna sparkled in a similar manner, then lost his way in conference play. I'd love to see that kid figure it out. With his length and stroke it feels like he could make a difference on both ends.

Tony LaRussa aka AJ Hinch? • Nov 01, 2020 06:39 PM

What's the word in the @wissox household on this LaRussa hiring?

Doke. MY GOD. • Nov 01, 2020 03:39 PM

I hear Doke has been working on his 3 pter since the seasons end and is planning on coming back to Kansas to showcase it, and his 80 percent ft and go #1 overall 2021

I hear minority turnout appears softer than Bidens camp hoped for in Florida so far. Election day could be madness.

Doke. MY GOD. • Oct 31, 2020 10:55 AM

@FarmerJayhawk lol at the comments on that thread:

"what do they feed them at Kansas?"

"the hopes and dreams of the rest of the Big 12"

Hope scouts see this as definite proof that Doke is elite at his skill set and that his talents will translate at the next level.

Im not sure everyone knows the rules @Kcmatt7 as you have suggested. Assuming that people don't realize that this is the rule, common sense would suggest that getting it postmarked before election day would mean a counted vote, to @KirkIsMyHinrich s point, I think.

Whither JoJo ? • Oct 28, 2020 11:35 PM

I haven't looked when the next bumper crop of superstars become free agents. I don't think Philly competes any time soon ditching both of them.

Whither JoJo ? • Oct 28, 2020 11:32 PM

@nwhawkfan I think Simmons is gone for sure. Jojo can hit a 3. We will see.

No Silvio • Oct 28, 2020 10:29 PM

Well. If this is true I'm probably done defending Silvio as well. What a bummer.

Election • Oct 28, 2020 01:33 AM

I don't think the American History section after question 56 should matter at all to citizenship or the right to vote.

Do we need to know who Henry Ford was to get a driver's license?

Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH! • Oct 27, 2020 10:17 PM

@Kcmatt7 haha

Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH! • Oct 27, 2020 01:37 PM

@drgnslayr I think it's a matter of loyalty. Self knows to attract the best bigs he has to start them as upperclassmen. He won't get another Udoke or Dave if he doesn't.

Different Scene for CBS - -top 25 & 1 • Oct 27, 2020 01:40 AM

You're right: they don't seem way off.

Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH! • Oct 26, 2020 06:39 PM

I don't think we'll start any games with 5 guards this year unless Dave gets hurt.

KSU Ass Whooping • Oct 25, 2020 04:34 AM

Maybe we will learn more details. Sounds like pillowtalk to soften the blow or maybe leave options open.

Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH! • Oct 25, 2020 01:02 AM

@twhalen :hundred_points: pretty sure Jay Wright is on Bill Selfs very short list of coaches he looks at for inspiration.

Self flips to x-axis ball in AFH! • Oct 25, 2020 12:46 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 pretty sure he is. He did refer to having Josh Jackson at the 4 as being a 4 guard lineup, I didn't ever think he was a SG, really an SF. Maybe that's a bad example. But yeah, I think all he really cares about here is whether theyre not a traditional Center at the 5, and probably specifically can shoot the 3.

@jayballer67 they can't prove what the other way? That Trump is corrupt?

There is a mountain of evidence that Trump is corrupt. What does "proving" it mean? Hearing him on tape saying the this disease is deadly at the beginning of the year, but that he doesn't want to alarm the public by admitting it? Then contradicting scientists every step of the way to bolster that self serving narrative? That's pretty clearly corrupt.

If you are going to write in, I wish you luck in selecting a qualified, decent person.

@jayballer67 How is Biden corrupt? The worst thing he did imo was coauthor the bipartisan crime bill that passed the Senate 100-0 and resulted in unnecessary mass incarceration, particularly with nonviolent drug offenses, and he's admitted that was wrong. In terms of illegal stuff, what has he done thats illegal? The Hunter Biden email stuff is unverifiable Ukrainian BS. It's designed to make you doubt weeks before the election and in fact Giuliani didn't pursue it before now because he realized it was trash. It had been offered to him by the Ukrainians last year, but he bought it now from the Ukranian as a last ditch Hail Mary. There is no verified substance there. Don't buy into the hype man. This is the same sort of disruption right before the elections 4 years ago. Exact same stupid tired playbook.

Let's just put this Clown to pasture and I'd say let's see how much better we feel 4 years from now, but I really hope I'll just forget to do so because life will return to some sort or normalcy with a normal decent human being as President.

@jayballer67 just think about this.. One guy released his tax returns for the last 22 years. The other promised he would release them 4 years ago and then never did. One guy was investigated and impeached for quid pro quo in Ukraine. The other was investigated and absolved of any wrong doing related to his son in Ukraine. What you are believing if you think these two are equal in character is straight out of Trumps mouth, and the mouths of his enablers.

It's not political. It's a logic problem. Which one is the crook?

If one person is honest and the other person isn't, they'd both be calling each other crooks, so how do you tell which is the crook?

@jayballer67 don't be fooled. The biggest problem with Joe is he's old and not a terribly charismatic or dynamic person. Trump is the crook here with the shady dealings. Any comparable shady business on Joe is simply a fabrication. There is no equality here on character. It's fine to not agree with Joe on policy, but on character, don't fall for it. Pretty good guy vs shit.

Good old fashioned ass kicking part 2.

My school board just voted to allow some students to return starting Nov 30th (K-5 first). One lady on the board requested that they extend the K-5 out until after holiday season but this was not approved by the board. The plan for Nov 30th was approved. The teachers were given the option of returning to school to teach or quitting. This is going to be bad.

@jayballer67 12.3% positivity is nuts.

Glad we get to battle Rick Barnes. Always a good fight.

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else. I'm just excited that I liked the tweet with the KUBuckets Twitter account and his mom followed the KUBuckets account.

@FarmerJayhawk I thought you said Lawson for a sec.

No Silvio • Oct 20, 2020 08:05 PM

@BeddieKU23 it does. Though less Herculean than what Devon was asked to do. At least we have a smart and versatile upperclassman at PG. (no knock on Devon. I thought what he did in two years was the greatest work by any true 2 year player under Self)

QAnon: the new disinformation • Oct 19, 2020 08:55 PM

If Trump wins Florida, which looks to be close rn, QAnon "Biden is a pedo" disinformation splitting the Hispanic vote may play a key role.

No Silvio • Oct 19, 2020 05:26 PM

If barely taking down a team of 8 McDonald's All Americans with a 200 level recruit as your assassin senior PG, two highly touted international guys that developed into 4 year talent, a 5 star transfer who fizzled at Miss St and wanted a do-over, an all defensive guy with a funky jumpshot, and a guy who only finished half his high school senior year before getting the call is wrong, then I don't want to be right.

This game was only second to our championship in 2008. Tell me how we win that game without Silvio? Tell me how much damage was avoided by Grayson Allen's stupid psycho face not having the satisfaction?

NOT TODAY, Duke! I felt proud for a month after that game. NOT TODAY!

ZZ. That's an Omega name. I wonder if he hopes to be on the last page of Brittanica some day.

Sometimes these year numbers blow my mind a little bit @jayballer67 . 2024? We are talking about basketball in 2024 and they aren't playing the sport with jetpacks on yet?

No Silvio • Oct 17, 2020 09:51 PM

@wissox fair. We can agree to disagree. Your logic makes sense, just different conclusions. As for how much our team can use him I'm assuming he has slipped down the pine.

@BeddieKU23 said in No Silvio:

Wow. Smh.

Has Self ever got less out of a player here while having to deal with the consequences of him going here. I can't think of one

!kansas_beats_duke_e8.png ↗

WORTH.

ROCK CHALK FOREVER SILVIO.

I will never forget.

Braves and Rays • Oct 16, 2020 02:17 AM

It's not a done deal but I think it's going to happen. Braves piling it on now. 10 batters in the 6th.

Are you talking about Gethro or Marcus @BShark ?

@nuleafjhawk Yeah, that was their second choice.

Repelling the Vagabond Raiders • Oct 12, 2020 11:44 AM

@stoptheflop pretty sure Washington management knows that by calling them the Football Team:

A. They fire up the old schoolers and the Trumpers who want to keep "Redskins" , though their anger isnt directed at WFT.

B. they piss off the fans who dislike the new name but don't care about keeping "Redskins" , again not directed this anger at WFT

C. everyone will think whatever non offensive thing they choose is awesome after this is over

D. people would have complained at anything not "Redskins" out of the gate

I think they had to go this way.

The real battleground • Oct 10, 2020 03:58 AM

Who is talking about the effect of technology on humanity? Who is talking about education? The two issues most at the heart of the situation this country finds itself in are going largely ignored right now. We focus on the symptoms. Race relations and bad cops (both addressed by better education and both exacerbated by Russian social media campaigns). People voting for corrupt self serving politicians (education), with no vision toward the future. Families glued to their media all day long (technology). Covid rampant while people don't wear masks (education).

Brawndo: it's what plants crave!

Self talking about the team • Oct 07, 2020 07:54 PM

I think he's a 3-4 year guy and hope he is up for that. Seems to me to be similar to Andrew White.
