@dylans happy day!
Juan, Elmarko, Kev, KJ, Hunter by end of season.
In Kevin Mccullar’s senior speech, I noticed a few things:
1. He loved this team.
2. He felt a little like an outsider to me. He talked like a guy who has gone through the fire with his teammates, but the anecdotes werent there. The lack of 4 years of history was apparent.
Now, he is one of 3 returning players. No longer will nice guy Kev have to defer to players with more history, save Dajuan and KJ, also nice guys.
Its time to go all out Dawg. This team demands it of Kev.
The stage is set. This was the script I was waiting for. Kev is the hero I want to watch. I cannot wait!
@kuballin10 yeah, Im not sure about #2, but if Kev is #2 i think it would mean good things for us, as I’m sure scorers will emerge and Kev showed the potential to be a “dude” on the offensive end, if he can find it consistently and be a goldfish.
I said #3 as it was where i think he projected to be ending the season.
@kuballin10 I think Kevin will be our 3rd leading scorer and will win some games for us on the offensive end.
@jayballer67 ha. Cheers buddy!
Never a doubt in my mind ;) Time to shine Kevin!
@wissox awesome! Body in motion!
No LoCain for the soul
I just read the history of Burnley. Quite a 140 year long road https://www.burnleyfootballclub.com/more/more-club/burnley-fc-club-history ↗
@rockchalkjayhawk New Castle has been fun this year. Also, I think Burnley will be fun to watch (they are getting promoted) with Kompany at the helm.
I want to see if Pochettino can make it work with the pieces he has at Chelsea
Someone call David Booth
Kevin McCullar is the hero we need
@DCHawker gathering feedback, hmmmm
I hate Duke. So much.
I remain grossed out.
@nuleafjhawk if he goes to Duke I will be actively rooting for him to fail.
I think I’m going to be sick.
@nuleafjhawk bantering is what we do!
Tyreek Hill did bad stuff before departing.
Chiefs didnt want him there.
Udeh left because Bill recruited over him after a promising freshman season. Good kid.
Its different.
And if Udeh went to Mizzou I’d get on the “Ernest is dead to me” boat with you, but he wont, because Mizzou sucks and Ernest does not.
@nuleafjhawk I don't think we should worship anyone, especially young men going to college to try to prepare for a career.
We should give them our support.
But I'll stop preaching.
Just lol.
@nuleafjhawk is this like an object permanence disorder, or…?
;)
Very interesting, the concept of a trade now that there is no sit out year
Maxey, Fox, Murray, Booker … all prolific scorers who went to Kentucky. I enjoy watching them all score buckets.
Well Maxey’s not at that level consistently yet, but might be capable of it.
@jayballer67 :hundred_points: i remain a non fan of Harden.
@jayballer67 tatum heating up…
@DanR me too. Would love to keep them in conference. I think you’ve made me realize that even with Bryce Thompson, to whom I didnt feel very attached, I still enjoyed him being in conference to be able to see him grow.
Lol
On the flipside is it so bad to root for people and less exclusively for places? Next year we might have to register globalbuckets.com and migrate the board
Lets see how this feels for a year and if it sucks, lets find a constructive way to complain. I just dont see it being unsuccessful. I can see it being less interesting. Want kids I care about. Some of these freshmen better be cool and stick around.
Im assuming we will hear Zuby is coming back. :crossed_fingers_medium_skin_tone:
Man that 2014 draft was pretty great 5 All stars, 2 of which were MVPs and about 15 veterans that are still starters
We had oustanding parity this tourney. This is a glass half full / half empty question
@Texas-Hawk-10 thanks for the update! Glad to hear his stock is high and he has some high profile interest.
Yeah. And i think how you act and your ideals can and should differ a little. Thats normal and healthy. You try to be the best you can be, but you cant always be perfect.
Evolution comes with the passing of generations.
@benshawks08 theres some interesting info in your link
To begin, the Athletics Department will partner with WVU's LGBTQ+ Center to develop annual training sessions that will address all aspects of inequality including homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism and more. This training and programming will be required of Coach Huggins and all current and future athletics coaching staff.
This can’t be cheap. So it does look like Huggy’s lost salary is being reappropriated to address the root issue. Good.
Next, according to the Williams Institute, West Virginia has the highest percentage of transgender youth in the nation.
Fascinating. I would have assumed the opposite.
@benshawks08 maybe. People learn best when they do so electively.
@benshawks08 A celebration of diversity doesn’t come by forcing everyone to do things the same. What works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another.
I don’t need Huggins to be sorry. I need Huggins to agree publicly with what we think we should strive toward as a society.
Our ideals are what matter.
We need to find ways to agree and be better together.
@FarmerJayhawk one man’s pound of flesh is another man’s treasure.
Tbh just seems like the university being opportunistic and cutting cost.
Maybe they should let Huggins decide what charity to donate that $1mil to, like the $25k he earns in his contract when he beats KU, which he donated to cancer research in the past.
A little less punitive, and an opportunity to show his heart.
Wow, thats a big ass hammer coming down. I’m not sure if he will be more sensitive, but probably more tender!
@AlGrano are you real or imaginary, friend?
@jayballer67 he did play at UVA, he and Joe Harris are / were historically good shooters:
Assist to my bro for this…
Heres a lovely example of how people can accept responsibility, forgive, and move forward:
@benshawks08 said in Oh No Huggins:
@approxinfinity So if you make a mistake, say you're sorry and just move on? How do we know if a person is actually sorry? To me, this is how we've operated as a society for too long and that's why we have people who feel like they can do whatever they want and get away with it. Again, real, natural consequences need to become commonplace in my opinion.
I dont think we can know if people are actually sorry, but i dont think that should be the point. We need to agree on our desired ideals, not on whether we live them out.
If we are reasonable about our ideals, and have genuine buy in there from others, well then everyone can be their own judge and jury and hold themselves accountable.
I think we need to let people grow organically. Demonstrating his antiquated biases publicly shouldnt mean that suddenly he needs to accelerate his timeline on becoming unbigoted and reaching for some publicly accepted quantifiable demonstration that he has changed.
This reminds me of drivers ed courses to reduce points on license. Accomplishes very little positive for the individual, just checks a box. In fact, for the individual, it does the opposite: breeds resentment.
I think an acknowledgement that it was wrong is what you want. As a culture, we need a consensus opinion we can rally around so we can share a common ideal. If you force people to prove their sincerity I think thats where things go haywire.
I think some freedom of movement, even in the case of regressions back to the poor choices of a bygone era, needs to be accepted when apologized for. This allows us all to evolve gracefully. At this moment Huggy was the caboose, but we need to pull him along on the train. He is still with us with a sincere apology.
