Had several people reach out and yeah I am okay and will be okay. Just a bad stretch where I didn’t want to be online as much.

As I think I have posted before my brother has cancer so that is a lot. He is autistic so I have to handle more or less everything in terms of scheduling, talking with drs etc Well about a month ago the chemo meds probably almost killed him due to a side effect of increasing his blood pressure massively. I thankfully got him to the hospital in time that Sunday night. Also didn’t help that he was dehydrated. This required a multiple day stay in the hospital which also delayed several things regarding his treatment that all had to be rescheduled.

This was coming off of finding out a long time friend committed suicide just days before. Then after that, the dad of my long term GF dies, he was only in his 50s. Then a bunch more medical crap that should be finished for awhile as of yesterday. My brother’s scans came back clean, they did bloodwork etc and he isn’t having to do chemo. They will check back again in three months.

So it’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but things have calmed down now.

You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

Turns out it was an internal blockage, they said it’s not uncommon with people who have had surgery in that area. Should hopefully be back home in a few days.

This will cheer you up. In the last two seasons, the Jayhawks have led in the 4th quarter of 19 of those 24 games.

Oh and the Bears are 9-3! Some of us are happy!

Great win vs the Eagles. I was happy to see it. Very much do not like the Eagles coach.

@nuleafjhawk said in Today, I Hate Football:

Ohio State is #1.

I knew I liked you for some reason!

@Crimsonorblue22 @approxinfinity Yes, feel blessed to spend the time we have left when I can. Do everything I can to make sure we at least talk every day.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Kansas vs Tennessee game thread:

@Jhawk69 he rebounds like jwill too

Didn’t rebound to start the year. Guessing Bill called him SAAWWWWWFT after the UNC game.

peepeepoopoo tbh

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Thanksgiving:

@BShark thinking of you!

Thank you. I had a good day yesterday. Obviously difficult given what happened this year. Spent it back with my mom and my now one brother so just the three of us for this now. There is a lot more family in Michigan but with my mom turning 70 this year that travel is rather unappealing.

@approxinfinity I wonder how I missed these posts initially. Yikes.

@approxinfinity said in Some Buckets gold:

yeah. well, I mean I coudl keep the old board up with a link to the new one @BShark, and lock writing new posts on the old board.

People’s rep and avatars woudl be lost too, but I think that part is fine?

Ah ok. We’d potentially lose some people over needing to register again but hopefully not too many.

@approxinfinity said in Some Buckets gold:

So I will bring up again what i brought up in a thread yesterday where I asked whether people are ok with restarting the board with latest and greatest everything. This will improve our search rankings and fix image uploading. We would lose our data but i could leave the old board up but maybe lock all threads

So all old posts would be lost?

Here I quoted a tweet that said

Lead guards against Kansas this week:

• Marcus Burton: 24 points but on 18 shots with three turnovers
• JJ Starling: 10 points on 17 shots
• Ja’Kobi Gillespie: 11 points on 19 shots

I am going to call this the Melvin Council effect
