Welcome Silvio! β€’ Sep 02, 2017 01:21 PM

@KUSTEVE I'm pretty sure Bill meant he wants to be coaching in the final four. I however hi-jacked the quote while people lost their minds after the E8 loss. Works both ways.

Supposedly 6'7" 2 years ago and 6'9" in shoes recently. Cole Aldrich 1.5" shoes?

Who starts for Kansas at QB β€’ Sep 02, 2017 02:55 AM

Pat has big potential. Well see what Reid can do for him over the last two years of Alex's contract. The QB future is rosey at the moment for Chiefs fans.

F Nebraska and their wonderful fans (@wissox not included in that statement) I'd love to find the wonderful nu fan who sucker punched me after Nebraska beat ku in Lawrence. I think it'd be fun to visit him at his job in McDonald's.

Two days before the fight it was

92% of the bets on Connor

79% of the money on Floyd

I'm pretty sure you can't bet on your own fights. Just a bit too shady.

Haha. I forgot Frank intimidated Bridges into staying in college.

What About Mitchell? β€’ Aug 24, 2017 04:10 PM

@Kcmatt7 If he goes and practices with a school for a year they will most likely buy a $5million policy for him. One more reason to go train under a coaches watchful eye.

What About Mitchell? β€’ Aug 24, 2017 03:37 PM

If Robinson wants to go to college he needs to enroll and begin the process of trying to get to eligible. Worse case senario he drops out and goes pro. It's not much of a commitment he'd have to make. Bill or anyone else can't make him come back for a second year.

Reasons to love the Royals from an ESPN article β†—

Kansas City Royals: Because when they were 7-16 at the end April everybody wrote them off and said they should trade all of their free agents. ... Melky Cabrera is hitting cleanup these days and nothing would sum up the AL wild-card race better than the winning team batting Melky Cabrera cleanup. ... #nedyostdevilmagic ... If they make it to their third World Series in four years and win, we get to debate whether the Royals should be considered a dynasty. ... Among qualified regulars, Alex Gordon and Alcides Escobar rank 153rd and 154th out of 154 players in wOBA and yet here they are. ... Mike Moustakas is going to break Steve Balboni’s franchise record for home runs, and a Steve Balboni mention is always an awesome thing. ... The possibility of Jason Vargas winning Game 7 of the World Series after Escobar and Gordon homer off Clayton Kershaw. ... Ned Yost, Hall of Fame manager with two World Series wins?

LAWSON BAR BILL β€’ Aug 22, 2017 12:44 PM

Tubby Smith is an ok coach, but he can't recruit. Similar to Weber.

COACHES PICKS β€’ Aug 22, 2017 12:27 PM

Does he know what he's talking about?

Kansas, which earned plaudits, is in an interesting spot. Self has won 13 straight regular-season conference titles. The Jayhawks will have a new look this season: a four-guard attack. Coaches noted that Self's terrific as a coaching tactician because his teams are never similar, in terms of the types of players Kansas has, year after year after year.

I expect this year to be a more traditional lineup until one of the bigs has to sit, then it's back to the 4-1.

Too many head injuries...

College is only really needed in a handful of careers. Joining the NBA isn't one of those professions. That being said I'd sure like the kids that choose to go to college to make a multi-year commitment.

I hope Robinson doesn't shy away from making a commitment to KU if KU will commit to him.

Video game society....it used to be players came out of college way more prepared for the NBA. Now everyone (not just ball players) want everything handed to them today. It's crazy! Too many pity parties for guys not making enough money straight out of college, working to the top takes a little time. Many OADs are the same - want it handed to them before they ride off into the sunset...well they're going to have to work some more to be successful and that hits some pretty hard.

The great Debate? β€’ Aug 15, 2017 07:49 PM

Npoy 2003 TJ Ford before streak. During streak
Durant, Griffin, Heild

Three NPOY Bill has overcome whole at KU. Roy overcame exactly zero NPOY in the big12.

5 NPOY from the big12 over the last 14 years is pretty salty!

@mayjay One of my farmers just got his tractor back from the shop. $5000 repair bill, but they couldn't find the problem. Electrical issues are tough. Stinks to pay so much for nothing getting fixed!

You take a player like that and develop him (ala Vick) unless it severely hinders recruiting. Zion Williamson and Barret wouldn't be scared off unless there is no spot for someone's friend...

The great Debate? β€’ Aug 15, 2017 04:36 PM

@drgnslayr I was with you until that last part. No squeaky!

That consistency is what sets KU apart from ANY team in the country. No days off. Hell Duke and UNC both had fallen out of the top 25 mid to late season due to poor play in the last 10 years.

The great Debate? β€’ Aug 15, 2017 03:25 PM

@justanotherfan How many final fours does Mizzou have? Lol.

Roy has been a better coach at unc, because he's been better at recruiting. His style of waiting on one key piece before he would sign anyone else at KU royally screwed up more than one class. It's pretty easy to see why that guy has had more success at an easier school to recruit to. It's fairly amazing that anyone has success at KU given the geographical limitations on recruiting and the lack of local talent.

Put Bill Self on unc or dukes teams and he wins big every year. Would be win the acc every season- probably not. Put k or Roy as KUs coach and do they match what Bill has done? Not likely.

The great Debate? β€’ Aug 15, 2017 02:05 PM

I know for a fact UNC under the current coach could not maintain a conference win steak of more than a few years and couldn't win a national championship while in the big12 either. We already went down that road with Roy. I sure as heck don't want him back.

DoEs unc or duke get the recruits try currently haul in If they are in the Midwest?

Ok so lets see if new recruiting thread β€’ Aug 15, 2017 01:58 PM

Mitchell Robinson announces his intentions to attend KU! Or so I expected to read by now. Wtf?!? Bill must've cooled his jets by asking for a commitment he wasn't willing to make without considerable consideration.

Conference realignment causes me an undo amount of stress. I'm glad it's something we really don't need to worry about for a few more years.

Most engineers really lack vision. Functional, but boring. My old engineering roommate has crap on Mars, but he's as vanilla as it gets.

On an aside I'd really like to take the engineering genius who designed Chevy trucks to be worthless on dirt and worse in mud out behind the woodshed.
