Does the passing of this legislation have any impact whatsoever on what the NBA will do with the one-and-done rule?
I think as long as Kansas passes legislation similar to California, Self stays. He didn't have to go to the pros, the pros came to him!
Option 1, fo shizzurp.
@Woodrow that's crazy only 27 days?!
Doke lost 40 lbs?!?!
I'm 40 and I would have been excited to see Snoop b/c he played his old stuff.
And with kids present I would have preferred radio edit. Fo shizzle.
I'm not doubting that he wanted it radio edited. I'm doubting that he wanted Darrius Rucker. Nobody requests Hootie and the Blowfish. Kids, adults, Nobody.
Also, if Self is to believed, he said beforehand that his preference would have been Hootie and the Blowfish. And who wants Darrius Rucker when you can have Snoop Dogg?
I find the whole thing to be a little funny. It did occur to me that those pole dancers looked pretty much the same as dance team girls. But that's totally ok, right?
Strasburg has never been sharper than his last 2 outings. Filthy and under control. Let's hope he can tap into that a little bit more.
Walker Buehler needs a warm glass of humility.
SHOUT IT WITH ME NOW!!!!!
BEAT L.A!!!!!
BEAT L.A!!!!!

BEAT L.A!!!!!
I mean sure I fell asleep last game until the 9th, but I wouldn't have if the game didn't start at 930. That part plus the 4 hour length is double the problem.
Don't understand why we can't have both games at same time. I think you lose more viewers because of the late time than you gain from having the games back to back. If the stats don't bear that out then I think the stats are short sighted. Sure, the immediate stats might show a bump for the night. But anyone wondering why there is attrition and apathy toward the sport has allowed themselves to be completely numb to the quality of the product.
This generation of ratings uber alles has in large part thrown intuition out the window.
Yeah. WTH?

In kinda pissed I couldnt go to be honest. In not a big rap guy by any stretch but the early 90s stuff at least wasnt mumble rap lol.
For better or worse:  FM3 is my favorite ever, bar none!
BIFM
Yeah. I'm not feeling it. Just need to go.
@jayballer73 I've heard so much about the Astros but I haven't watched them recently.
Shouldnt Yankees fans root against their most successful crosstown rival, the Brooklyn Dingdongs?! Sorry, not sorry, Mets fans.
@Kcmatt7 then you should root for the Nats so you're a winner no matter what happens !
Frank Mason never made it as an undersized score first guard at Kansas either.
Fought their ass off to win the wildcard. Scrapping with the Dodgers now. Match up well. Feel free to root for them with me!

@HighEliteMajor just because it’s private vrs state college? Am I reading that right?
I don't think that's it.
From the article:
It’s a world-class private institution with the admissions flexibility of, say, a state school.
I think he's saying that while you'd expect private institutions to have very rigid high standards of excellence in academics, Duke in fact has very flexible admissions standards, similar to what you might expect at a state school.
@jayballer73 why did he leave the team? Do we know?
This article is old but afaik still accurate.
@wissox Common misconception. Their athletes have different academic standards.
@justanotherfan agreed. Would rather be out front with California. Could help recruiting.
@rockchalkwyo lololol that's so weird! That's what happens when you're compelled by Satan.
I think if the pipeline dries up its going to hurt a lot more in terms of bigs than wings. This kid looks good.
Had to take board down a moment. Back now.
@HighEliteMajor have you ever put a review on Glassdoor? I have not. And thats anonymous (but people might recognize it to be me if I post). My policy to date about past employers is to let my frustrations go when I leave. I might return in some capacity, and I still know people working there. I dont want to burn bridges. It's not worth it. For these people, like me, I'm assuming this is a business decision. Not worth turning over specific stones.
I don't think that people outside the programs care one way or another about the NCAA.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if there are benefits on the way out as well. Certainly there are connections and influence.
When was the last time you called the police station and told them that a friend of yours had been speeding? Or that friends of yours were gambling on a sporting event at work? Or let them know that one of your friends gave their 20 year old son a beer when he was home from college? And if you did this what do you think the police station would say? Would they open up an investigation or would they laugh at you?
When was the last time you covertly recorded your friend doing any of these things and turned it into the police station?
I understand that corruption in a power 5 program is orders of magnitude different then these things, however my point is that it's a matter of perception and whether anyone has an interest in busting the program, and to what lengths they would do so, considering they and those around them benefit from the success of the program.
@HighEliteMajor every year it seems there's impropriety happening and programs getting busted for infractions. If the problem is truly pervasive, then it stands to reason that the majority of programs don't get busted when they are not under investigation because nobody surrounding the program has an interest in busting the program.
@HighEliteMajor I think Self had played his hand the way he had because this is bigger than him. If he admits too much, NCAA sinks their teeth into the program immediately. Sure, if we get hammered anyway, we can say with 20/20 hindsight that integrity would have been the best policy but, as the apologists have (imo rightfully) said, there is a systemic problem that won't be solved by us admitting past mistakes and getting killed for it. It just means that we lose while those who get away with it profit. And as long as the NCAA has reason to perpetuate this charade we get no closer to fixing the system.
I wish I could agree on your second point, that once we get hammered if we do, we should show where all the bodies for other programs were buried, but what does this say to future recruits except don't trust Kansas at all? The climate won't be any different, we will still be hearing about other programs transgressions from recruits that no doubt expect and value a level of confidentiality with our recruiters.
How quickly can he get on with another team?
@BShark @Gorilla72 ergh. Roster hole #1. Preseason.
...could you imagine? The one season we don't have some hole in our roster due to stupidity, recruting woes or injury, they take out the big man himself? lol.
@Gorilla72 Harris then Garrett hopefully? I love Harris's offensive versatility. I think he could be special, just needs college experience and work on making the J automatic. I think we will miss McBride as a 3 pt specialist though.
I'm excited! Perry could be a hell of a big man coach some day.
Nice rundown of where we stand
BILM
Lol just.... lol!
@nuleafjhawk all good my man. I'm just speaking for me... You don't have to give miles any leash
@kjayhawks we have a coach that had won a national championship. Im going to give him more than 2 games with someone else's recruits
@HighEliteMajor the last line he said Bill made Hudy.
@jayballer73 maybe this is what we get building with multi-year guys. Just don't know where their ceiling is so all tiers wait and see.
Not worried.
@HighEliteMajor haha :hundred_points: in fairness, as my wife has observed, it seems Hudy has softened her image the last few years. I was just giving @KUSTEVE a hard time.
In some pics I could see how some might use a descriptor of "pretty", or if handsome weren't construed as an insult, definitely handsome.
This is probably all terribly unfair; I'd readily admit that I'm applying a celebrity scale here. And I have no basis of daily interactions with Andrea to assess a potential cuteness in her personality. I come from a place of joking ignorance. I am assuming by her badass, ripped, highly-successful grown-ass woman professional gymrat aura that there is very little room for cuteness in her personality.
Cute is soft. Hudy is hard.
