@TYOHawk We shall see which of the Johns wastes more talent. My money is on Cal over Scheyer, but time will tell.

I’m never going to fault a guy for trying to maximize his short earning potential in the NFL. As a fan I wish Jones had held out earlier so there were more options though.
One of the teams in PR looks really tuff if I read that correctly- Deandre Ayton, Buddy Hield, Eric Gordon, Klay Thompson, Kai Jones, Remy Martin.
@Kcmatt7 Chris Jones franchise tag number for 2024 is 120% of his cap hit this year less a handful of incentives, since that is more than the average of the 5 highest paid at the position. I believe it would be 32-34 million. He’s within his right to ask for 30 million. The Chiefs need to be fiscally responsible, it’s a tough call. If they can get the right picks for him, he might have to go. Not this season though, it’s too late after the draft. Not being able to get a capable replacement would waste a year of Mahomes prime.
I have an extended forecast - July and August will be hot. December January will be cold. This will happen every year, yet radio and tv personalities will act like this is the first time it’s ever been over 100 or below zero.
@wissox I like limited doses of Bill Walton. I enjoy him more on replays than live action. My favorites are no longer around - Max Falkenstein was just so stinking good at his job that I thought no one could hold a candle to him. But then Bob came along and did a fantastic job. I’m still waiting on the next great KU announcer.
@kjayhawks Bought a new drier and while installing it I left a handprint dent in the top - it looks like Superman grabbed it. Thin junk with electronics that started failing after less than a year. I’m getting a speed queen next time.
@wissox They really should for non-revenue producing sports. Regional conferences help keep travel expenses down.
@mayjay Both of those are death traps. Glad they don’t build them like that anymore, even through I own a ‘65 F250. I like that a non-mechanic like me can work on it. Rebuild the carburetor? No problem. Even changing the brake pads on my 2020 Silverado requires a computer to reset the warnings that the brakes have been tampered with and speed is limited to 40mph. 90k miles and it’s falling apart due to inferior component life, but I’m not nostalgic for a hard to start carbonated vehicle that will kill you in a fairly minor accident. But yeah they don’t build them like that for a reason - partially safety, partially cost saving, a lot of emissions junk, way lighter metal, components are built to fail now. They were built to last forever - example A Cuba. 😂
Better - football, ncaa basketball, international basketball.
Worse - baseball, nba.
Who cares? - hockey, soccer.
Not going to touch - real life stuff.
What was the name of the lineman that got stuck in the Taco Bell drive through window (around 2000)? That place had terrible service, wish he could’ve made it through 😂
Football players doing dumb stuff? Never! It was hot. Guess he didn’t want to practice.
@Crimsonorblue22 I would not put much stock into anything Marcus Adams says.
Mario Chalmers, “There was one play where I threw a lob to Shady on an inbounds pass and he dunked over Scottie Reynolds. Right before I threw it I looked at Jay Wright and said, “Watch this!””
I’m fond of this one
@TYOHawk Often the news articles are full of misinformation and incomplete information too, as such they should be taken with a grain of salt. These are direct quotes. 😳
I am appalled that fans are harassing his family. Get a life. So he didn’t love Lawrence, good riddance!
“Marcus has a lot of heart and fire,” DeSanti said. “Him coming back from injury, they never really got to see what Marcus can do. I don’t know if he’s going to go somewhere that plays KU, but he feels like (he never) got the right chance to show it.”
Yeah transferring before the first game shows all kinds of heart and fire. Never had a chance to prove himself? How about staying??? Lol glad to have the scholly back! Didn’t like Lawrence - too country for him. 😂 😂 😂

Kenny Gregory jumped over me and threw down a 2 handed jam in Robinson. That’s my fav. 😝
I hope KU football continues to improve, but 6-7 with a bowl game loss is the definition of mediocre. 1-7 down the stretch is less than mediocre. I do believe Lance can make this team competitive, but I don’t know that the current talent is enough. I wish Jalon Daniels had 4 years left lol I think he will be a big part of the turnaround. Finding that next QB will be huge - it’s been nearly 15 years between decent QBs for KU.
I feel like the title needs edited to “Huggins retires…”
@approxinfinity Are you being sarcastic?
I’m hopeful they are in the right track with a good QB and coach, but they need to prove last years rise to mediocrity wasn’t a fluke.
KCStar -✌️ Longhorn fans aren’t too happy with the Big 12 after its deputy commissioner said that Texas left the conference because “they would rather get beat by Alabama than Kansas State.” 😂
@FarmerJayhawk That is the true issue - Basketball revenue is majorly hamstrung. But it has the most awesome tournament in all of sports.
How about Flagg or is that ‘25?
@Kcmatt7 damn turf toe. (Flashback humor - too soon?)
Peering at the schedule it looks like 3-5 wins. I love the optimism, but it’s KU football and the talent gap is still real. Thank goodness for JD or it would be another 1-3 win season. Lance has his work cut out for him.
I’d bet the basketball team loses less games.
I love this country!!! Not because it’s perfect, but because we have the power to influence it and fix the imperfections. If you’re just complaining while not actually trying to impact the situation in a hands on way, you’re part of the problem you’ve identified. But that’s well within your constitutionally protected rights in this country! So have at it.
@rockchalkjayhawk as it currently stands it would be hard to give more than a verbal commitment. Why get locked in and limit yourself?
One of the more memorable games I was at was the Acie Law IV game. Ugg. Wish I could forget.
@focojayhawk Jacque is still my fav. That spin move and (different game) the one where he drove the lane wrapped around for a pass, palmed the ball and pulled it out for a layup are a couple of my all time favorite regular season plays.
@Jethro gotta love ‘em. Who else could we get to serve us McDonalds?
The KSU fight game is probably the second most memorable game I was at. The best memory I have is when Wilt came back to get his jersey retired. Every game is awesome and almost all are Ws. It’s hard to pick.

Pretty much all of Kentucky and Dukes players are predicted to get drafted. Many are freshmen that haven’t dribbled a ball in college yet. Zero Kansas players on the list of pro prospects, yet someone will end up playing professional ball due to development in college. I’d wager KU will have a better season than both those teams in spite of the lack of day one nba talent.

So Gradey and so funny!
Dick stroking that bejeweled pussy is something…
I would trade everything for that pick. Generational talent (or bust) coming up!
@wissox said in Jayhawks in the NBA -- 2022:
@dylans Obviously it's an unprovable argument. 86 team beat the national champs twice! 97 team lost to the national champs! I know 97 was awesome and I surely would lose this argument a lot of times, but I also might win it a number of times too.
Funny thing is the 08 team, while super tough and resilient, paled slightly compared to the others mentioned. I don't think the 22 version was the best of the best KU teams either! But they both won praise the lord and are legendary teams.
IMHO The ‘08 team would wipe the court with any other team Bill has trotted out. That defense was flat nasty. They took offense when the other team scored and might just go off on a 20-0 run purely out of spite.
96-97 was loaded in the post and Paul on the wing. Love me some Vaughn. Wow woulda coulda shoulda gone undefeated.
‘86 was before my time. Started watching in ‘90
@wissox Better than ‘97? I would like to see the ‘97 team play the ‘08 team. Would be a battle!
@mayjay California is the reason pork producers are going broke nationwide as well. Just prefer to keep them as far away as possible due to the poorly thought out nature of their legislation and its national ramifications well beyond non-important things like sports. But a sports embargo on those morons is a-okay with me.
Is this Huggins retirement tour? A little different route than Coach K took, but man what a lap!
Is Yormark considering SDSU? Would be on par with Cincinnati and the rando Florida school that were just added. Personally I’d stay away from any California schools due to their state policies having national ramifications and I wouldn’t want to invite that vampire in - easy to get a vampire in the door, much harder to get it out.
Cullen is a very good D-line coach. He’ll get the most out of the group. We shall see.
@rockchalkjayhawk Not up to speed on his off the field baggage. Great just got rid of Clark and replaced him with a less productive version of the same guy.
@wissox I know no Sam Hill, it’s Mt oread 😂
Clark was only good in the playoffs, but when you’re there every year that’s kinda important. Hope they can replace his post season production with in house talent. That guy from San Fran is intriguing
@Kcmatt7 I’m pretty sure he’ll be coaching for another century. he’s a vampire.
RussRob has stated that one of his goals is to get back to Lawrence on the coaching staff. Always liked Russ, he sacrificed for the greater good of the team - was known as a scorer in HS.
Gonna be real honest. I preferred the sand bar. Henry T’s was boring. The bar scene in Lawrence is a bit … young for me.
LIV forced them to up wages. I don’t see the harm in competition. I don’t like the source of the money, nor was I a proponent of LIV golf, but that’s a different discussion altogether.
Just saw that Henry T’s is closing. Might get a new location though. Wonder where they will do Hawk Talk?
That word you keep saying. I do not think it means what you think it means.
