KU BUCKETS' [ESPN] BRACKET CHALLENGE! • Mar 21, 2019 02:39 PM

Sorry for my uninspired brackets this year. I almost didn’t fill any out. This year has been tough to get up for. Here’s hoping it’s what Bill needed to inspire him, because it’s having the opposite effect on me in particular and the fanbase in general. We all need re-vitalized soon. Good news on the horizon, please.

@wissox Not me defending the Huskers. One of their drunken fans broke my nose with a cheap shot. (At the bar Giddens got stabbed in, go figure). I liked the 2 guaranteed wins when they were in conference, same with Colorado. We did have an advantage with them in our half of the split conference. However the Texas teams had the advantage of not having to play KU twice as they soon came to realize.

@HighEliteMajor It depends if it’s a repair or a trim job. Mine was just trimmed and I walked out of the hospital on crutches that I ditched after the next day. However 4 months later I still am a little stiff and probably need to start doing stretches. I’d say I’m 90% - much better than before the surgery, but still not quiet right.

Not everyone is so lucky. Others get along better.

Repairing the mensicus (stitching it back together) on the other hand has a ridiculously long recovery time.

@jayballer73 They have a replacement meniscus that is in trials right now. Only people that have had issues with their first (or second) meniscus surgery are eligible for the trial. It may be something to look into if it’s not getting better.

@Crimsonorblue22 Still gimpy? Sorry to hear it. I’m a bit sore myself, but in all honesty now my other knee is feeling jealous. I can hardly fathom Tyshawn playing basketball just a week or so after his meniscus surgery!

Free agency • Mar 20, 2019 11:57 PM

@Kcmatt7 Likely only one more year of cheap Mahomes. I hope Veach takes advantage of that soon to disappear cap advantage.

2019 Transfer List • Mar 20, 2019 06:37 PM

That’s @Crimsonorblue22 s guy. Hutch juco I believe. Probably better that McCormack got the minutes this year for next years sake though.

Hot Rumor • Mar 20, 2019 03:18 PM

It could be getting knocked off the mountaintop is what BIll needed. Break the cycle- Win a conference title, earn a top seed, advance at least to the sweet 16. It probably seemed easy to him It’s also likely a bit frustrating that he was inches away so many times with only one championship. However, once knocked off that mountaintop all you want to do is get back up there. I think this is what will ultimately make him a better coach.

Free agency • Mar 20, 2019 02:59 PM

@Kcmatt7 I’m still hopeful of a one year deal maybe in a trade for some more secondary help. Maybe they’ve identified their future CB in the draft, but they still need o-line, d-line, and linebacker help as well as receiver depth after losing Conley. There’s a bit of ground left to cover. I’m curious how Veach gets it done.

I’m also curious how he’s going to handle Tyreek Hill. OBJ, Hill, Hunt would make he Browns pretty damn good. I’m hopeful the kids broken arm was an accident, but with Hill’s past you can’t just give him a pass. It has to be thoroughly investigated and if he is responsible send him packing. At least this is before his $100 million contract had been signed - that would be a ton of dead cap space.

Free agency • Mar 20, 2019 01:16 AM

@BShark went cheap. Lateral move from Nelson I guess for less than the $8 million he brought. I still would like to see the Chiefs pick up another good cb. Doesn’t look too likely now though.

Hot Rumor • Mar 19, 2019 05:30 PM

@jayballer73 No. I’m saying he won’t get in trouble. Not that he’s clean.

Why does it have to be something sinister? Insecure fan base twisting things?

2019 Transfer List • Mar 19, 2019 02:26 PM

I think the suspension has to do with the 20K promised, but not delivered also. 2 years for $2,500 is too much, there must be some other consideration. Assuming the NCAA isn’t just plain evil.

Try resetting your network settings on your phone.

Settings>general>reset>reset network settings.

Maybe? Possibly? Probably not, but something to try.

Bracketology Time • Mar 18, 2019 02:22 PM

IDK Wiggins mania was a bit ridiculous and he wasn’t nearly as good as Zion.

Zion is amazing; the coverage is too much. The kid is amazing and didn’t ask to be over exposed, so I’m trying not to hold that against him. ESPN on the other hand is a bunch of douche nozzles for thinking we all care about Duke that much. It’s just Zion the casual fans want to see.

@Texas-Hawk-10 4 guard last year, so new system to start this year would be the other full system reset I’m referring to. It’s just never been stable is my point.

For some reason I can still read ESPN+ articles If you can’t read it; SOR would be better, but NET isn’t too bad. KU would be a 3 seed by SOR, Gonzaga the last 2. Michigan a 1 seed and a team I think KU wants no part of.

13-8 • Mar 17, 2019 04:43 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 but not for the preseason #1 team.

It’s been a weird year. The Sr leader :) made the team better by leaving.

The offense changed completely at least 3 times.

The leading scorer can’t be relied upon to score when needed.

The best defender can’t make a shot to save his life.

The top 10 recruit is more dud than stud for reasons unknown.

Weird year. It would be a tough group to coach perfectly with all the moving parts.

Maybe a really good attorney? At least for the next few years.

13-8 • Mar 17, 2019 02:43 PM

No identity is the issue. Lost Dok and DeSoussa, so the post heavy high low went to the scrap heap. No one can hit a three with consistency so the 4 guard lineup looks like crap.

The only constants are Garrett is the best defender and Dotson makes the team go. Everyone else is wildly inconsistent.

This was the game today. 3-18

Weren’t we told KU needs to shoot more threes? Only way to win is to bomb away and be like Nova?!? Lolololololol

@cragarhawk That spike by Lawson sure looked like someone who doesn't give a damn.

No just a mentally weak individual matching his weak physique. I wish he was the NBA ready man he thinks he is.

Ironically Garrett made the team better against WVU.

It could be waaaay worse. KU is playing very poorly, but ISU isn’t hitting shots. Hope KU locks in soon.

Solid 25% free throw shooting night.

Weak play. They need to drive into the defender and make the refs do something. fading away and missing isn’t cutting it.

The Chiefs were about to give him a $100 million deal. Maybe it’s a negotiation ploy? Lol, yeah right.
