What carrier isn’t working? (Att, verizon, T-Mobile etc?)

Chiefs! • Jan 20, 2020 03:10 PM

The last few years (decade+) I’ve watched the Super Bowl for the commercials. With the Chiefs playing I’m actually interested in the game, so now when do I get my snacks?!?

That’s gotta be great for structural integrity. Did minor quakes start the gas explosions in Hutch years ago or was that something else?

So the devil let Art Briles out for a visit?!?

The optics at KU have been so bad for so long I don’t blame any recruit for looking elsewhere. And the damn media slobbers over the SEC, so I understand the allure. I still think KU presents the better opportunity for Franks though.

Franks to Arkansas could happen as soon as Friday

But I was soo sure he was a lock to KU ?

Well he registered for classes at KU so that was a pretty big tell

So what in the world happened?

@dylans Of course, it had nothing to do with Self. It was getting VCU to the FF.

Sarcasm?

Member berries pop up - member Shaka’s introductory press conference at Texas?

Yeah, I member that.

Member Shaka hanging his hat on one win in it?

Yeah, I member that.

Pretty amazing respect KU/Bill has when beating him once gives another man a job for a half a decade.

Funny how a stubborn, unchanging man’s unwillingness to commit to one offensive style has people’s cockles up. Dude can’t win.

Except he's won 482 games at KU, 681 games overall as head coach.

and yet there are people that wanna challenge his decisions

Always will be, but I’m glad as long as it’s not ugly. Keeps it lively in here!

Woodrow said:

Let’s go ahead and beat them by 20 +

Hell yeah! I’m going to be there. Right behind the KSU bench, so if you see the players on the bench start crying and a guy in blue escorted out to protect their feelings, well you know where I was sitting.

Do you have one with the tongue painted red and the eyes rolled back? Lol. K-staters hate it when you call it a tongue.

Bevo Steak Tastes Bad Game Thread • Jan 19, 2020 02:51 PM

@BShark Garrett is more important. I just think Dave is better. Not necessarily better for the team, just as an individual. Garrett does more for the team, he might be the mvp, even though KU will only go as far as Dotson takes them.

Bevo Steak Tastes Bad Game Thread • Jan 19, 2020 02:47 PM

@BeddieKU23 Advanced stats, PER specifically.

Top qualified players -

  1. Udoka - 28.5

  2. Dotson - 24.9

  3. McCormack - 23.7

  4. Garrett - 17.5

Maybe Elijah Elliot needs to play more he’s got a PER north of 25 too. Lol

Bevo Steak Tastes Bad Game Thread • Jan 19, 2020 02:39 PM

The problem is Dave is one of the 3 best players on the team. Bill has to get him minutes. Dok is the best player; he needs the most minutes possible. It’s hard to not pair them at some point during the game. Bill starts off that way to see how it goes then switches to a four guard lineup to feel it out. If KU has more than three good guards the 4-1 would be the obvious choice, but with the personnel it’s hard to be exclusive to one offensive set.

Marty Ball • Jan 18, 2020 04:56 PM

@kjayhawks Oh I remember. I was at my first Chiefs game (pre-season yuck) and Grbac was QB. Dude called a timeout with 40 seconds left on the clock and 30+ on the game clock to set up a half time field goal. Needless to say the other team immediately came down the field and scored with the time he gifted them. He was totally clueless.

It doesn’t look like the players will be punished at this point. What’s your opinion on a fitting punishment? I’m of the opinion every batter that stepped to the plate and benefited from sign stealing (banging on trashcans etc.) should be permanently banned from baseball. Every last one of them.

Pete Rose bet on baseball, usually on his team to win and is permanently banned from baseball/hof. What these players did is far worse. Their actions changed the outcome of a World Series! Let Charlie Hustle in the hall and kick these jokers out!!!

Marty Ball • Jan 18, 2020 05:18 AM

And the Chiefs began the weird 49ers QB retread cycle. 4 of the suckers. Really strange.

Thank goodness they finally drafted a QB in the first round!!!

Shaka vs Boynton vs Prohm Cage Match • Jan 17, 2020 12:33 AM

I’d say Boyton is the lesser coach, but Shaka is on the shortest leash.

So I was at another conference with my good old KSU friends (sarcasm) when asked how KU looked at basketball this year. I replied, “Bad.” This elicited an involuntary smile from him and he leaned in to get the scoop. “It’s not likely KU makes it past the Elite Eight unless they tighten things up.”shaking my head,”Another down year.” He walked away.

@approxinfinity I wish

Black > McCormack

Embiid > Dok

Freshman Mason = hurt Dotson

Freshman Mason < healthy sophomore Dotson

Wiggins > Ochai

Freshman Selden =< Garrett

Ugg. Could be a first weekend flameout. I hadn’t thought about the talent critically. Maybe the sum of the whole can be greater than the individual pieces?

Dotson out tonight • Jan 15, 2020 02:26 PM

This team is no good unless Dotson is healthy. If he needs rest to be healthy in March he’d better get plenty of rest. The games don’t matter much now.

Outcoached By Scot Drew • Jan 14, 2020 03:10 PM

Devon is hurt and Garrett is KU’s only other ball handler. Trouble

Chiefs! • Jan 14, 2020 12:53 AM

All right, so which one of you is this??? 😂😂😂

I wonder how many people are rooting around in the floor in Vegas trying to find their torn up wager?!?

So anyone put money on San Fran winning it all, early this year?

Tennessee seems the best bet to me if KC doesn't win today.

Titans are playing well. I didn’t want them in this game, but the Texans are proving to be pretty salty too!

Chiefs! • Jan 12, 2020 09:23 PM

Wow. Gotta be hard on the Texans psyche to have the nearly game won and now it’s damn near tied in less than 4 minutes.

Chiefs! • Jan 12, 2020 08:59 PM

I’d be pissed if I was in Arrowhead!

I usually just sign up for cbs online for the ncaa tournament. This year I get to pay (Antenna doesn’t pick up cbs) for the privilege of watching all my favorite teams seasons end on it!

Chiefs! • Jan 12, 2020 08:36 PM

Ugg at least @KUSTEVE is having a good day somewhere.

Outcoached By Scot Drew • Jan 12, 2020 03:34 PM

Anyone that thinks Allen Fieldhouse isn’t as loud as ever just hasn’t been. It looks quieter, because all you see are the first 5 rows during the game and those are damn expensive seats - generally it takes years to generate that kind of wealth so less youth. But if the camera was interested in the crowd instead of the game you’d see the biggest fans losing their shit every game from just a bit higher up than the cameras go clear to the f’n rafters. It’s just ignorant to think you could find a better atmosphere, but if you haven’t been you wouldn’t know just how in the dark you are.

Crowd noise is measured as a peak volume, but if sustained crowd noise was measurable it wouldn’t be close - Allen field house by a mile. (...and the government would probably issue a warning and mandate hearing protection)

Yes fans boo the other team. The entire student section holds up newspapers when the opposing lineup is announced (as in I’ve got better things to do) and boo as they come out. They boo opposing coaches and players and the refs too, but never the boys in crimson and blue. The worst the home team ever hears is silence and it’s deafening. The silence is more demoralizing and detrimental to the team than boos ever could be, that’s when the players know the best fans in sports have given up on them.

I for one am glad teams have figured KU out so early in the season. Maybe Bill can make adjustments to shore up some of these deficiencies. It’s way better than getting exposed in March.

BayLOL Game Thread • Jan 11, 2020 08:18 PM

I only got to watch the first half, but it looked like they out Kansased KU. Packed the paint and dared us to beat them from outside and the shooters couldn’t get it done.

Here we go again - Self rumor mill • Jan 11, 2020 03:09 PM

@HighEliteMajor ironically Roy won it all with mostly Dohertys guys. Even more painfully ironic -Roy’s winning 3 championships at UNC after learning from his Kansas losses.

Here we go again - Self rumor mill • Jan 11, 2020 01:18 PM

@HighEliteMajor You mean 2001 coach of the year Matt Doherty? One hit wonder.

Who is our best PG at this moment? • Jan 10, 2020 07:14 PM

Some players ruin their game by trying to round it out instead of becoming elite at the one good thing they do. Dok is elite around the bucket. If he starts shooting jumpers his effectiveness will decline - that’s exactly what Wilt’s opponents wanted (shooting instead of dunking). The best thing Dok could do is work on free throws, since that’s his biggest limiting factor within his current skill set.

@BShark You know Nova will be KU’s 4 seed.

The Defense • Jan 09, 2020 11:32 PM

@mayjay averaged 12.9 to per game in 2007-8 vs 14.4 per game this season.

TOV is turnovers per 100 possessions.

Shaka vs Boynton vs Prohm Cage Match • Jan 09, 2020 08:39 PM

@BShark Making the #2 ranking all that more impressive given all the good defenses out there!

Not good with Dotson sitting.
