We are not lacking in talent, obviously. Hence, the potential remains high.

@nuleafjhawk all of them are potential wins.
Theres no way.
Maybe we will lose until Colorado, then beat the crap out of them and get Sanders fired. Remember the good old days when losing to us meant getting Texas coaches fired?
Haha
Lets go Royals, Tigers, Padres, Mets!
@FarmerJayhawk ah looking good
@wissox lol ok i misunderstood that
@dylans hey no judgement here. I just cant do that as a mod. All good.
@BShark lol. I love that.
Did AJ or Rylan vomit in a trash can this bootcamp?
@dylans yeah thats probably it. i dont block anyone.
And as far as jb hyping Lance against the naysayers, near to home or far afield, I love the passion, personally.
ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY!!!!
@dylans there were grumblings about Lance, stuff like “Andy K was the real mastermind” etc. Guess you will have to believe me, I’m trying to keep it on the rails :)
@wissox and sweeping the dodgers is always sweet!
That was @wrlumpy
@NotHim i know of no other good one, and would be happy for you to post it publicly if you find one. As i said before, I think you have mischaracterized this board as one that isn’t moderate. If you found utopia and all here want to follow, I’d gladly do the same. This board isnt here for any purpose other than to serve its users.
Yep its / but if you find another, let us know.
@Kcmatt7 i mean, i’m not really interested in forcing this place to be a bubble, people are free to talk about whatever they want. The one and only rule: just dont be a dick.
Hopefully thats apparent to anyone who looks at the board with more than a passing glance. Trump deserves to be crapped on, just like the White Sox, just like our OC, just like Texas and Oklahoma for ditching the B12, and the purple kitties and Fizzou. Its just another thing. We should be able to crap on things and people in moderation if we feel like it. Its not a primary thing we talk about, but its football season, and our team has underperformed, and its an election year, pretty reasonable that it comes up.
Hey in the meantime if anyone wants to post anonymously, they are welcome to create additional accounts.
@Kcmatt7 you nailed it. All good thoughts. I dont think politics need to be banned but I feel like we have gotten better as a board and as a society about not being so thin skinned and also not provoking other people, but thats my take. I think we went deep into polarity and we are bouncing back the other way.
I dont feel like we are overly political on here.
Not sure about the anonymous threads. I havent upgraded the board in forever.
I will check to see if later versions have anonymois threads.
Well, i dont think youve really indicated something specific to this board that would cause people not to post, but i think there may be more global causes that are at play. I appreciate you being respectful and just wanting to DM with specific people. All good.
Just makes me sad that you may be one of those guys that I enjoy talking to, if you feel run off. This is a community and running good people off was never the intent
As far as the sports perspective i feel like theres a good number of people who push back against unwarranted pessimism.
Also, the world I think in general needs more optimism, and thats not political. I :hundred_points: think we need more optimism. The murder death spin hour, aka as the nightly news, is a joke.
Yeah, Im not sure where those guys went to. I think its jumping to conclusions to consider those guys run off. I enjoy all of their voices and would love to see them hop back on. Maybe life took them in a different direction. I dont think of those guys as conservative primarily, so much as unique people with different voices to add.
Have we become more homogenous? Maybe.
Interesting that you think we lack optimism. I dont know if thats the word i would choose.
Flair maybe? Thatd be fair. Sustained Effort? My contributions wax and wane quite a bit. Life stuff.
Maybe we have talked about a lot of things and now we are just comfortable knowing that if we say something there will be a reply from old friends?
I dont know. The board has certainly evolved. Maybe regarding the last thing i said, if those old friends are the ones that left, then that impacts your optimism.
But hey, we can have a fresh start. Stick around a while and talk. Maybe you’ll enjoy the voices that remain more than you thought you would. If you have ideas that you think arent explored, why not throw them into the mix and let us chew on them? I think we are pretty respectful and welcoming to different voices.
Older, wiser, more appreciative, imo.
@NotHim well i am curious what perspective you think is missing here.
@NotHim yeah not sure. The promise of this place was always to let people be anonymous and not have to use their facebook account to authenticate.
Not sure what side you believe in underrepresented; if you mean a political perspective from the right, as you insinuated, there are echo chambers on the internet dedicated to that sort of thing. I honestly believe we are still pretty moderate in our political take here. I believe that will be more apparent when the republican party gets clear of Donald Trumps shadow.
As far as a sports perspective, the board still feels quite contentious. Several different opinions usually in play. Are we missing something there?
Nope. Thread locked.
@kjayhawks we were close to winning all those games. Seasons with big expectations going awry is pretty common. I think this season went from exceptionally good to average. Not exceptionally good to exceptionally bad.
Disappointing, sure.
But if anyone is being realistic, this program is still far far better than what it was before Lance.
@nuleafjhawk Do not be too eager to deal out judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that JD has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over.
@kuballin10 i am just going off what people said that Griffin is closer to being a capable defender than Storr, knowing that Bill favors players who can defend.
Alright glad we got that out of the way. Youre
both right. Youre both wrong. 10 thousand points to everyone.
@nuleafjhawk we are all products of our environments are we not?
Daniels is 2/7 for 24 yards throwing thus far. Im at a birthday party. Hope this all within the flow of what the game needs
Congrats to the White Sox for being the worst team ever.
Dajuan, Moore, Griffin, KJ, Hunter.
KJ will not come off the bench.
Bidunga can spell KJ when we need interior defending.
Griffin will learn to be an average defender.
I think this team will be an almost average defensive team, perimeter above average, interior below average, and bench below.
Refs suck.
They also called back a huge td earlier on what appeared to be a legal block
The fix is in!
Oh. Frigging wusses.
I want to go to bed :) this shits over. They wont overturn
Lol
Lol lol lol
Oh. My. God
@FarmerJayhawk yeah tech pissed this one away if they dont win this
@FarmerJayhawk do you think he would have been a better OC? Nevada is 2-3
This virginia tech vs miami game is in the 4th and is a good one.
@kuballin10 he also had 3 of our 6 steals and a block. Coaches love winners.
@FarmerJayhawk ah k. Thats too bad. Well I mean you cant be mad if we tried, right @kjayhawks
Thats like going from 1.1 to 1.75 mil per year
Jan 1,2023: If he stays at KU through the next five seasons, Kotelnicki will be paid a total of $5.75 million ($1.1 million on average, plus a one-time $250K payment to finish out this year), and that's without any incentives.
Dec 1,2023: Penn State signed Kotelnicki to a four-year contract worth $7.1 million
With hindsight, did our moneypockets have the means/desire to pay an OC like that?
