Happy Friday everyone! Can't wait for the game tomorrow!
This time of year I'm obsessed with movies with a lot of snow in them. Anyone have suggestions?
We've watched the standards... Elf, Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, Groundhog Day. And all the old cartoons like Grinch, Charlie Brown Christmas, the claymation Rudolph, Frosty, Snow miser (horrible but cult classic). Weve seen Scrooged, Home Alone 1,2,3. Hell I even enjoy the horror movies with snow in them like The Thing or 30 Days of Night, or the XFiles episodes on the North Pole. We've watched Antarctica: a Year on Ice, a documentary about living in the station.
Any other good ones?
@Crimsonorblue22 thanks. Looks interesting. Will watch.

@Big-Clyde52 respectfully, I don't expect or demand accountability from K State or ESPN. But I don't root for them. I expect Kansas players to hold themselves to a high standard. I'm not at the point where I feel Silvio has to be kicked off the team. I just think he acted like an a-hole. I also think that @HighEliteMajor might be right that a fresh start elsewhere could be good for everyone.
It would be tremendous if Silvio stays focused and comes back determined. But that's a hard ideal to achieve. I just don't know if all the negative baggage can be shed.
His role was diminished to spot minutes in the rotation and I think that as others have pointed out, that was the powder keg that likely ignited in that end game brawl.
Accountability matters. The letter said the right things. Only time will tell if it was sincere, and if he truly wants to overcome the obstacles and bad mojo over the long haul without a fresh start. I would not blame him if that isn't possible at Kansas, even if he has the best intentions to work through this.
lolol yeah. maybe i'm sentimental.
I miss Frank Martin at K State. Beasley was fun to play against, as were Walker, McGruder, and Pullen.
I think for me, my hate for K State starts with their coach being an a-hole, just like Wichita State, and that feeling isn't abated since they have no discernable face on the roster that I appreciate at the moment, either as a player or as a person.
When we had great teams, I wanted to take our opponent's best shot. I'd like to get back to wishing the teams we were playing were at their best when we see them.
Dean Wade was decent. I genuinely wished he wasn't injured, but I also wished that our roster wasn't built around Dedric Lawson. It was flawed, and I didn't want to lose to them. So I can't say I wasn't relieved that their best player wasn't at full strength.
Maybe part of what I have lost in sportsmanship is believing in our team :hundred_points: . The game plan and the personnel. Our commitment to 2 bigs is just stupid, our failure to guard the perimeter. Silvio acted like an a-hole on Tuesday, and no well-penned apology that he and his counsel crafted is going to change that in my heart, I think he's kind of an a-hole right now. Giles, Alexander, Bragg, Preston, De Sousa. Our fine lineage of train-wreck bigs. Hanging out with K-State and talking smack about their glaring deficiencies maybe distracts from our own problems.
But then, what kind of awful fan would I be if I wasn't rooting for one of the best 5 college basketball teams? I suppose I would adapt and appreciate the positives more, not wish that Bill would seek perfection every year. What if I completely ignored recruiting and 5 star 4 star business, just said "here's the 15 kids we got" and went from there? Maybe I'd be happier. Maybe I'd appreciate the 15 kids [K-State] got a little more too.
Being human means being conflicted. Sometimes the more conflicted you are, the more it shows you are connecting with the world around you and recognizing that there is merit in multiple positions. So this is my justification for thumbing up both @drgnslayr and @Kcmatt7 . Can wish for peace and no ill will and dislike every stupid K State meme at the same time. They're certainly not liking us much right now. And I honor their right to hate KU. I hope they remember Jayhawks are people too as we dunk all over the Octagon of dumb.

Silvio de Stoolza ... sigh 🙁
Well done!
That whole exchange by De Sousa could have been avoided by not fighting Jankovich (guard) for the rebound, declining to pass it to him, and dribbling it down court and getting it stolen. Clown move.
Hey I thought Grayson Allen should never play basketball again like 5 times. Where was Dick Vitale then?
Yay 5 out
Sucks. I wish we had a backup for Doke against Tennessee. Rick Barnes is chuckling.
Self got an iron grip on Silvio's jersey. It looked like Silvio was slapping his hand to try to make Self let go?
@Kubie ok I'll dig into it this week.
Christian Braun and Tristan Enaruna, lace up your chuckin' shoes.
I don't know. It's just unfortunate. Seems to be all this pent up angst by two 5 star big guys who Bill recruited that are redundant.
Ooh @dylans got some pics. Didn't upload but you're right there right ! Share when you get a chance
I do think there's a chance that this is the beginning of the end for Silvio
He didn't do anything with the stool. Maybe he just had to move the stool out of everyone way so no one trips.
Wow. Fran got his fuel to hate someone on Kansas. Enjoy the leprachauns ire Silvio
Way to get in there Bill.
Silver lining. 4-1 here we come.
I thought Garrett was shielding the dude from Dave.
Well. Silvio and Dave can just not play for a few games. I'm ok with that.
Self muttering the f bomb.
Oh boy.
Lolol
@Crimsonorblue22 he jumps on his freethrow. Loves his jumpshots.
Big 12 bottom feeder ... The ca-bruce.
Get starters out
Bill asking his team to chuck. Good stuff.
Oof.
Braun saw them slack off him and said "ok let's do this". Love it.
@BeddieKU23 wow that's bold. That means he shoots better?
What are the chances Devon projects as a second rounder and comes back?
@BeddieKU23 are you not entertained?!?!
Lord. We believe we can score at will
I saw D Wade show up on an NBA box score and I forgot it was Dean Wade.
Braun has zero interest in mid-range. My man.
@dylans kstates conditioning also suspect.
Moss and Dave never met a 16 footer they didn't like.
My wife is a Dave defender in my house. I moan and groan.
Do you think 5 bricks on wide-open threes is the norm or the exception. It's hard to say
This is garbage. Timeout.
Timeout.
There isn't anyone unlikeable on this team. I think Fran's having a hard time finding the hate this year.
x2 their score. Good place to be.
Wow Braun just don't care
