@kjayhawks The ladies were never really ever in much trouble tonight. - -I watched the game on TV, pretty much dominated , and the match was at Baylor. - Plus Kelsie Payne was pretty much non exsistant - A lot of Madison & Zoe? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Isn't he a shooting guard? -- -Which if Grimes commits is what Grimes will probably be play 80% of the time at the 2 position - -only play the PG when Dotson is taking a rest or foul trouble - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya think possibly they might be getting involved maybe because maybe Grimes not the lock we are thinking? - -Hope not. -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay LMAO - - -that's just nuts lol. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I thought about that myself - - maybe, - -but I don't think we miss on Quinton - -that will take care of that need. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wow just read , good thing things turned out like they did it looks like. - At one time - -at one point a kid Ku was recruiting to some extent any ways - Emmitt Williams was arrested early this morning in Florida for Felony Sexual Battery & False imprisonment, - -man that's something we sure don't need. Thank goodness with us getting De Sousa & McCormack turns out not longer in the picture for us.

I would imagine schools might be backing off of him some now not sure but would reckon so. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK so since Quentin's visit this past weekend , that now means he just has the one visit left right? - - Marquette? So do we think he will end up taking that visit or not? I still believe our biggest threat if there is one in this is Texas - not UK - Another example with friends on the team plus knowing a lot of their players - & I dunno but that little shit Shaka - he is making some in roads for Texas - -can't trust that guy lol.- Ya I think he takes his visit to Marquette .

One other thing , Now I know this won't be popular with what I say and I'm sorry but guys I just don't feel we are going to land Zion Williamson. - -Sorry - -just not feeling it.

I think with his connection with IQ & IQ and UK - that's where he lands. - -IQ was quoted as saying he had gotten a text from Zion saying UK was even better then he had imagined & he couldn't believe how the UK fans felt like family. -- Like someone else said it would be a little different if he was talking to the press like this - but this was with IQ -if it's with the press what do you expect the kid to say - -pretty much standard response - ya the school was great - -the visit was great - Some people saying cause a couple of CB now show Kentucky - they say well that's just because of his visit - normal - I don't think so - just like my gut was telling me about Devon - -same way with Zion - -just don't think it's gonna happen.

It will be ok though as I feel we have got a really good shot for Romeo keeping fingers crossed - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox Yep you got it - -we got ONE MORE lmao - -doesn't matter whether it's one - -two twenty - we got more bottom line. - -That's like people saying in a basketball game well we played you close. - -how many people do you think care about playing someone close? It's not about playing close it's about winning. - -Same with titles well we are close to you in titles ok you run with that lol. - -But hey I'll give you credit - -you MIGHT win more games then us this year now Aaron is out, you hang in there you'll be all right - -just all in good fun, just playing with ya everything is good. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

just read where the NCAA has asked KU to do an internal review of the men's basketball program. - - But the article says the NCAA is asking all schools to do an internal review do to the recent going on's

Also asking that we look at the Conduct of the men's basketball Coaching staff and Administrators .

I don't care if they are asking all schools to do this - I'm just worried about one - - -KU. - I don't know this thing to me is starting to worry me some. - Just seems KU the upper up's are just letting out things to progress a little more all the time - -I sur the hell hope We haven't got screwed around bty Adidas some how - -that would kill us. . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox Ya probably was for all the - -of course for the bears - -not gonna matter they could be the only ones on the field and still lose lmao - -of course just about anytime the bears play they have to really try and keep from getting the game called cause lack of interest..

Usually it's a pretty close game for the Bears - -that is UNTIL the other teams steps onto the filed lmao. - - HEY I got a question bear fan - an you tell me exactly how many QB'S you all have went through since the LAST time Green Bay changed QB'S - If I could count that high I could help you out - -damn it I hate that when that happens lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 See, that is something I always thought was kind of strange to about Devon. - -NC - -or Duke neither one was in the running - EVER , for some reason whether it was them or just Devon or maybe a combination of both. It's ok though you sure don't hear me complaining lol. Just glad we landed him. - -Feel pretty good about Quinten wish we could get him in the early period but doesn't look like it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity Lol, ya I doubles - -tripled, quadrupled - -it's fricken broke lol. - -now so is my GB heart.- -went from 5-1 odds for the superbowl to 12-1 - -welp there goes this fricken season right out the double check door. - -Hell he is ok - -he still getting his money lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Maybe I need Geico lol. - -ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY

Well this has been a crap weekend for me personally anyways - -the weekend of the 13th. - -The only good thing that happened was Devon committing to KU. - other then that - -not so much.

1st - -KU got blasted again - -nothing out of the norm there but still.

Then 2nd. - - My Yankees got beat now down 0-2 - but going home for some games

Then today - -yes KC Chiefs got beat -tough loss for your team I understand. -- BUT MY football season came to an end today. - -My team lost our starting QB for the season- -so much for our year , we are done now, - -MY Boy Aaron broken Collar bone - -really sucks.

Now the only thing for me it's time for basketball hope nothing happens there.- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Sorry I was reading and ended up wiping it out couldn't get it back. = =Anyways I'm sorry but have to say your wrong on this one. - -I checked - -AGAIN Cleveland had the best record in the American league- They was 102-60 -- 630% - -Houston was 101-61 - -623% so I mean close but not the best.

If Houston had the best record - -they would have played the wild card winner in the 1st round instead of Boston - the Division winner of the East the Yankees division . - -That's why the Yankees had to play Cleveland 1st the wild card vs the Best team in the playoffs.

Houston really good - hoping NY can win a couple in NY - we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Ahhh, thanks on all points. - -Good to know, was freaking me out wondered where the heck my post go lol. - - Ya guess that does make a lot of sense your right, just had to find ANY kind of open date before the regular season started thanks again - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So I'm wondering how the Grimes visit is /or went. - -Guess we might hear within the week something on how it went. - -Heard him talking about a decision time - looks like maybe December but yet maybe in spring not rushing. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hmmm interesting. Somehow my post from last night got deleted - - -again? - -hmmmm , well anyways I'll post it - - -AGAIN.

What I said was last night was , found the date that they decided to play this game kind of interesting, the reason being it's being played a week from today at 3:00 in the afternoon - -Sunday, which means it will be competing against the NFL games AND the Chiefs more importantly, so might be you lose SOME to that.

I just thought they could of found a better time like Saturday night after the College football games neither K-State or KU playing at night I don't think - -Mizzery? - - -WHO CARES when they play lol. Going to be interesting game. Again I don't think you would of seen these guys even begin to show ANY kind of interest if they didn't think they could come in and whup our butts because of Porter and crew - -to which I say - Ya ok. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 I think the Astros are the best team in baseball. Cleveland was only ten games over 500 when they went on their amazing streak. Stros been strong all year.
Myself - -I actually think it's the Dodgers - -hands down they ran away with their division and until a small stretch in the end it was like the Dodgers a professional team playing against a bunch of innermural teams in the rest of the league.

As for me? - -I'm not tripping cause NOBODY expected for the Yankees to be here , so it's all house money this year - -every game we win anywhere in the playoff's is just bonus. - -It's next year the experts thought we would be back.

People might as well get used to us returning we are so young. Loaded up and down the line up. - -Ya so they strike out a lot THIS year, but as this goes along going to be more seasoned - -not going to be as much of free swinging.- -When you have Judge having hit 52 hr's and still striking out like he has - only gonna get better. - -Sanchez only getting better strong , Cannon for a arm. - - - -DD what do I need to say? - actually played better at his position it was brought up - -More HR's, great defense. - - Byrd, shoot missed 3/4 of the season, in the preseason actually it was him that was tearing the league up, and since he has been back ummm ya.

The pitching - Tanaka - - Severino, the Bull pen - -ya I'm not tripping this is all Christmas time for me - sitting back and enjoy - -BUT this series isn't over yet - -Houston is Good but better then the Indians umm maybe not. This is why NY started out having to play at the Indians. -It's ok though you have to play whoever - -whenever when you get to this point - - one game at a time. - -Plus waiting for the real game to start - - - -COLLEGE BASKETBALL lol - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I have my broom ready. Get wrecked Yankees.

LMAO - -I knew there was SOMETHING I liked about you , couldn't figure out what it was. - -NOW I know - -you a comedian lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hmmmmm, kind of strange, that we are having this exhibition game on a Sunday afternoon at 3:00 when the NFL & Chiefs play? - You would of thought it might of been better on a Sat - -or even during the week sometime - - kind of a strange time - -& day. - gonna be competing with NFL games and possibly the Chiefs. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark And just so you'll know I'm pulling for the Yankees. -I don't feel bad at all right now. - -Ya sure we are down 2-0-- we are headed back to NY

We were down to probably the best team in base ball 2-0. - -It's sure not like Houston is just abusing us - - sure not tearing the cover off the Ball. - -Pretty damn good pitching by BOTH teams - - - -OR pretty poor hitting by both teams - -either way been really good games.

NY has just had a couple of really bad base running decisions, actually like today both teams had like 5 hits for the game. - -I think HR's are equal. - -It's ok - -Now CC'S turn New Yorks young studs look lost, - -but NY a bunch of free swingers swing at a lot of bad pitches.

Right now every thing is house money - -we showed a year early, but this isn't over - -long ways to go. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo - -OK THANKS -figure even though some I won't say who think I'm always looking to be obnoxious - -looking to argue be un-considerate - be did respectful -which that's not what I am doing - -BUT these kids have heard FAR FAR worse in the locker rooms - been called a whole hell of a lot worse by their own friends. - -

Waiting for it to come - -this is going to be locked up soon -- - these kids handle them with kid gloves oh let's not hurt their feelings - Sorry that not whats coming from me. - You ever hear if it walks like a duck - -and it talks like a duck - -then it's probably - -A DUCK. Ok ready? - - - Lock it UP - -that's a wrap I'm on to other things - - READY - - GO -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@jayballer54 Don't see Starks being any good, but if he is it is a huge indictment on this coaching staff for not evaluating properly.

HA that's good lol. - -The other two just tearing it up on the field? - -lmao - Like I said he sure the hell isn't any worse, If he wasn't Any good then why did Coach about wet. all over himself saying multiple - - multiple times this is the guy that we was looking for to run this offense;

His turn has come - -sure the hell isn't going to do any worse -But let's not give him a shot - -I get it lets just let him rot away on the side. - How do you know he isn't any good if he doesn't get game time snaps? - -things that make you go hmmmmmmm. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

One thing in this game is - -You can't really dog on the defense today. - -They did respectable. - -I mean ok yep 45 pts - BUT look at what they have had to work with. - -Muffed snaps - -bad snaps - -interception - -fumbles half a field to defend , a offense that can't get ONE yard on multiple occasions - Why do we STILL continue to throw these little screen flare passes two yds backwards where the defense is almost there before our attended receiver catches the Ball? - -Today is not on the Defense

@JayHawkFanToo Ya and I'm not usually this hard either - -ALOT of frustration built up - -week after week after week - -I'm sure he has heard ALOT worse believe that. - -ONE thing I won't back off of is and you don't have a leg to stand on with him is - -this kid has not proven ONE THING period. - Sure the Oline is bad - -but damn come on he is so bad on his passes he throws a lot more bad then he does good. - -Just one example out of many is how you miss someone WIDE open in the end zone who is 6-6 Bostick I could go on and on and on with his throws - -decision making. - -But look I'm not going to bring this to a war of words or badgering back and forth. I'm just stating - -your making your statements. - -Bottom line - -Bender isn't squat - -Stanley maybe no either - -But why at this point in time when either or both has had ample opportunity - -WHY should Starks now have his turn? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

This offense makes Bender look bad but at the same time he isn't great. Not sure KU has a good QB on the roster, but we will never really know due to the oline.

@jayballer54 Can't throw downfield if you can't pass protect fam.
OK,- - sooo, Bender isn't great - -Stanley isn't great - -so NEXT man up - - Starks - -Period. o o wasting away on the sideline. - -ALL we heard or read was how starks was the perfect dual option QB for the offense - -can't be perfect if he can't get the chance on the field. - What we going to lose at this point? -sure in the hell can't be any worse. - -Bender makes Bender look bad - -just pitiful decision making - -today just another example 8/19 -18 yds? - -Overthrows but big margin - -bounces passes in front of receivers typical day - -the only time he completes passes is to the other team.

justanotherfan said:

KU should be playing a dual threat athlete at QB right now. The line isn't ready to protect a pro style drop back guy. You have to have a guy that is ready and able to run and make plays with his legs.

agrees. - - BUT you think we are going to see him? - -hell no. - -we have a coach that is digging his own grave. - -I want someone to try and justify to me WHY we have a guy that is 8/19 for EIGHTEEN YARDS FOR THE GAME ! ! ! why do we have him as our starting QB? A guy that has more INT'S then TD'S ? - -yet that dual QB that was suppose to be the perfect fit for this umm quote in quote - -Air Raid offense STANDS on the side lines?

wouldn't you think that MAYBE oh I don't know just MAYBE you might want to at least ONCE try and stretch the field at least make an attempt to throw it futher then 3 yds down the filed? - But yet on the other hand with the guy that's back there that's a sure INT. - I don't know about you BUT getting pretty sick and tired of watching 61-19 games 38 -0 games always looking at 30 point plus blow outs. - -Is it possible to be worse then w were last year? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Let me say this - -Let me make myself perfectly clear about these things : - -# 1 - -This team flat out SUCKS. & # 2 - -We are looking at a Coach that because of his bull headiness is a lame duck Coach. - This Coach is just damn stubborn that he refuses to yank that piece of Crap Bender out. Oh he will pull him when were down like 41-0 THEN put Stanley in and of Course there will be no way ANY QB could bring you back form that - - then Beaty will say in his post conference that Stanley didn't get the job done and we will be right back with this piece of crap again next week.
Let me say this ONE MORE TIME. - - If you think Peyton Bender is the Answer should be our starting QB - - then all I have to say to you is Let me have some of that shit your smoking because you got some damn good shit. -I need some of it too.

This slugo can't move his decision making is just beyond crazy almost ANOTHER PICK - -I swear I think this kid has more INT'S then completions. - -Before you come at me with the line You trying to tell me Carter is better? - -I would simply have to come back at you with - -he SURE THE HELL ain't any worse. - - But yet - -there stands Beaty - -just keep sending this guy right back out there. - -OMG like 35 yds of offense in a half - -give me a fricking break.

You really can't ask much more out of the defense today considering the position they have been put in.

I'm tellin you right now at this point there is NO WAY IN HELL we hang on to these prize recruits from Louisiana at this point. - This team is so damn hard to watch makes me sick. - We can't put a better product on the fields then this? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The Yankees had their chances last night- - Tanaka pitched a really good game - -2 runs from a team that has strength up and down - I'd say Tanaka pitch REAL WELL I'll take my chances with Severino today. - -Go Yanks - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think we sign 3 more, and possibly take a late transfer depending on who stays and goes. Newman and Preston have pretty much booked their tickets to the combine. I still have questions on Udoka and Vick. So we can sign probably 5 easily. The last scholarship is TBD.

I agree. - -I think we sign at least two -- maybe three. - - Strong for Grimes , then either Williamson or Langford.

Ok, we had one open scholi, then we know Devonte is gone -- 2 , - -Newman is gone - 3 - - Chances are Preston is gone unless he is just a complete flop - -don't see that being the case -- 4 - - -Vick tested the waters last year right - -I think 50/50 there - -so very possible 5 - -& then possible Doke - - - -So without a real hard stretch - -we could have 6 available - -we have used 3 - - So actually we have a decent shot of 3 more - -BUT I think we sign 2 - Best one I'm feeling Grimes - -The as much as I would like - - -I think Zion when it's said and done lands at Kentucky , which brings us to Romeo -I think we have a great shot for him - -finish up with Grimes and Langford - -very well could be Coaches best group ever. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Coming from Jeff McInnis -- Devon's AAU Coach - -former NBA player. He said I think he is one of the most explosive guys getting to the basket. He goes to the basket at will. He is a dog, - - He's tough on the court, he don't back down.

Devon said Coach Self has made me a priority & wants to put the ball in my hands. Just be in the attack mode. He thinks I;m the top PG in the Nation, so he has a lot of belief in me.
