I’m glad Howard played hard the entire game. It wasn’t one of those blowouts where the other team quit. KU kicked their butts. Seen too many times where KU gets a big head after the other team quits, this isn’t the case. Kansas should be ready to play today. I’d be mildly surprised if it’s as close as the spread suggests.
@drgnslayr We’re on plan D! Very little bench to lean on. No head coach. Yikes!!! For the positive spin - Bill was able to implement his game plan during practice. Bill has them tuned up. Now as for jitters due to over preparation meeting game day - they have Norm just smiling at them on the sideline.
@wissox You’ll always have Ben Simmons! 😝
@approxinfinity Can the recaptcha just be a requirement to sign up a new account by chance?
That should have been Texas’ one seed

Fwiw my kiddo doesn’t like Purdue either. Upset alert 🚨 😂
Clairvoyant 7 year old? 😂 he had a fever and had a dose of steroids before making his picks. (🎶 x-files music 🎶 )
FDU up 2 w/ 8 to go. Wow
@wissox my 7 year old also picked kennesaw st. But because it’s a fun name to say.

6k perfect brackets/20million…for now. So now is your chance to tell a tall tale about your perfect bracket.
Need Bill healthy. This sucks. I’d rather worry about basketball!!!
On second thought Anthony Hopkins would be interesting. Dude would have a mean head game. I’m going to eat your liver with some fava beans and a Chianti. 😬
@kjayhawks just need to get Gradey 51 more made threes for the record. I’m down
Lol. Too much going on here. Kid projectile vomited when I typed that. DeAndre Hopkins. 😂 it’s been a day.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Baylor sucks. Doesn’t change that the bracket is easy. KU blew an easy bracket a few years back as well. So it doesn’t mean anything other than they have a plate full of winnable games.
@kjayhawks said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
If you picked off of KenPom you had a very bad day.
KenPom is a joke.
@rockchalkjayhawk Anthony Hopkins nickname
I’m hoping it’s Nuk. Who knows?
That south bracket is a gift to Alabama/Baylor
Lol Arizona
If it’s OBJ I can’t imagine it’s for more than one year.
@BShark gray matter issue it appears from afar.
Zach and Zuby holding down the fort

Speaks volumes that Rice hasn't played in 20 point game...
I'm expecting him to be one of the transfers out. Zach as well.
Everyone is in such a big hurry to be the big dog. It feels like MJ just needs seasoning. Jr/Sr years could be big for him here.

VEEP in the house 🙌
Cameltoe?
Howard is playing hard.
@rockchalkjayhawk Could be some trade options as well if Chark, OBJ, etc don’t work out. Hopkins and Evans have been floated as possibilities, however unlikely
@bskeet with a timeout in pocket too. Ugg
Fwiw my kiddo doesn’t like Purdue either. Upset alert 🚨 😂
@Eric-san said in Norm Roberts Cooks Up Some Bison Burgers Game Thread:
Wow so i'm actually gonna lose my Howard 1H +12.5 lol
Bad luck for you on that missed free throw. Good for KU though.
That would be meltdown city here. Only 1 seed to lose to a 16, now Furman. 😂
My 7 year old picked Furman. Lol his bracket could turn out better than mine! (he doesn’t watch sports at all)
Would love 3” of precipitation. It’s in the 70s today, so it would come with some awesome wind, hail, and tornadoes, but three inches of moisture would be 3/4 of the total amount we had south of town last year. It’s disgusting
Such a Jets thing to do. Trade away top draft picks as well as players to clear cap space for a one or two year rental. Smh and their fans are happy to gut the team because they think they are just a QB away. Well you won’t have anything in 2-3 years after he quits and you have no resources.
@AsadZ Burton was no sausage.
I’m intrigued by the DE he had a ton of pressures last season and is still quite young.

JJ Starling in the portal from Notre Dame. Yes and yes
Syra and cuse
Already confirmed. Nothin' to see here apparently.
Was done before he entered the portal. Much like a certain player currently collecting NIL checks in California and KU.
Pretty sure about Ingram?
Matches the eye test. They are good, but definitely not a dominant team. Could lose in the round of 32, could win the whole thing.
Cliff Alexander would’ve been a beast his Jr year if not for his family.
Favorite players (not best)

@FarmerJayhawk wow
@BeddieKU23 getting rid of Adams didn’t seem to help much…
@drgnslayr I’d contend it would take 3 years in Lawrence to leave a KU legacy. It’s hard for me to come up with Darrell Arthur and he was a huge reason we won in ‘08. I also don’t think it really matters to most people as much as it does to us FANaticS.
Could you imagine if Gradey came back and had a career ending injury just chasing a college legacy? That would be so pathetic and sad. If that happened kids would probably thank that’s where the phrase that’s Dicked up came from. Lol
Hardest path according to AP poll
KU plays #10,7
Purdue plays #12, 6
Houston plays #16, 5
Alabama plays #14, 8
So while it’s a hard path, KU only has to beat two ranked teams to reach the final four. Alabama, Kansas, and Purdue beat two ranked teams in the same week once this year. Houston beat one ranked team all year.

@Gorilla72 said in McCullar:
I believe McCullar needs to be almost 100%. Gradey needs to play hard and hit his shots, as he hasn't been doing much of either. It’s almost as if he’s just marking time until the draft.
I also believe Yesufu is a problem on the floor. He shoots (and misses) 3’s early in the shot clock and his defense is “not good”. I’d rather see almost any other guard.
What other options are there in regards to Yesufu? Play Harris 40 minutes and wear him down? Play Pettiford who doesn't shoot and turns the ball over almost 40% of the time? Kyle Cuffe who's redshirting and likely moving down after this season,
I've never been a big Yesufu fan, largely for the reasons mentioned, but the reality is Kansas doesn't have a better option for that of a guard off the bench than Yesufu. Self knows this is a problem which is why KU's 2023 recruiting looks like it does with nothing but guards right now.
MJ maybe. Udeh in a weird lineup. Yesufu in more limited minutes. Bobby…well…he did win us that one game in the islands.
@drgnslayr said in McCullar:
I would feel the same... except it isn't realistic. There is so much pressure in the league. Recruits are supposed to be either earning minutes or playing developmental ball and showing promise. Even though it sounds so right to sit on him and develop him, outside of risking injury, it would carry it's own risk.
Players have notoriety and fans... it's a big part of what draws fans to games. Gradey leaves this year he will have instant NBA fans. I'm afraid they will be disappointed next year. I also fear a higher chance of injury. It happens often. Newbie players get hurt. So lets give a realistic projection that Gradey is two years away before becoming a lethal NBA player. He'll have to restart the optimism. It can be done.... but what did he gain over just staying in college another year where he remains a star? Then going to the league a much better player and getting real minutes in year 1?
I don't see risk the same as others... I think he will sign for a higher amount next year and it will be worth it to wait a year. Then... if he gets hurt in his first year he will be sitting on a higher pile of cash. I think his risk of injury is higher in the NBA, hence sign the bigger contract in year 1.
Ehh even if he flames out 1st round contracts are fully guaranteed. He’s 99.9% gone. He could get hurt playing for KU next season as well - only up to a $5 million insurance policy the last I knew (and that’s only for special players). I’d say don’t get your hopes up no matter how much it offends our sensibilities. I’m still cheesed that Pierce left early because I didn’t expect it. This is 100% expected and the norm right or wrong.
I think Brown was offered similar money last year if you take out the final year. The Easy Money University grad will have to collect elsewhere. I’m liking the Taylor signing much better than another year of the tag and off-season drama that could’ve happened.
@AsadZ 20million per year for a RT? Think he will swing over to the LT and draft RT?
Way to cash in Wylie! Now you can really go bust some packs in DC!!! (He’s a card collector)
