Yes I have had a feud this week totally agree but that's behind me it's game day and getting really hyped. - -How about you? - -you ready for game time? -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox What? are you being serious> - -You lost me. -- I'm joking around, and people know I am, you lost me. Who is getting into feuds on here? on my thread - -I haven't seen any feuding. - - am I missing something?- -Been a great day. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE So he is going to be in studio - -BUT not at the game - -Guess we are just going to have to deal with it. - -LOL -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay YEP, YEP. those were the ones. - -Getting nervous think this going to be a hell of a game -just hope we can match up some way with their bigs. - - Biggie gonna get his - -just got to make sure others don't have career nights. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE Could be right - - that would be awesome, you would have to love it lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So, someone fill me in - - -whz going on at Virginia? -- -Yesterday Shayok - - -Reuter announced they transferring out -- & now today Thompson announces he is transferring out - - WTH is going on there? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

On a quick side note - -got a question. - -Was the whole context about Marshall being a commentator for our game tonight - -was that serious - -or people just spoofing? -- - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr Well it's good to see that maybe I'm not whacko - -OR maybe we are ALL whacko lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Ha, had to laugh at what you said. - - Funny thing is my mama used to when we ask her when a game was on who she was rooting for she would say almost that thing, - -oh they have pretty uniforms I like them lol - - Hell my wife now I try and explain she will listen then I'll say you didn't understand a single thing I just said did you? - -she will say no - Just like if someone blocks a shot she yells cheaters, cheaters, lol cracks me up. - - I TRY TOI get her to watch with me but she would much rather be watching Teen Mom 2 or Hoarders or my 600 lb wife - -something really sweet like that lol - - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well guys, I dunno, maybe I'm totally off base, see what you think. -- I just think West Virginia has a really good shot of beating Gonzaga tonight, what do you all think? - -I mean I just feel WV has enough big's that they can compete with the Mountain man in the middle. Plus like has been brought up today, actually how much will he be able to be a factor because of WV style of play? - -He only played 18 minutes in their last game because of match ups. They were talking saying they didn't know if WV had the players to be able to match up with him - -Well what about Bacon, is that his name or Macon I can't remember - -maybe it's just me - -so what you think?

Also I like Baylor's chances, maybe not as well as WV"s but I think they got a shot. - -So Am I just totally nutts? lol let me know - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

K ind of a side note - - heard that ol Dougie G is going to interview for the Okla St job, looked on their boards, a thread was Doug G in or out as Okla St coach?- -It was pretty top heavy for Doug to bring him on board. - - crazy move I think if they do. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox I had heard something to the effect a ways back, but really hadn't heard much, will be interesting to see what happens and who might be possible transferring out of that program. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I posted earlier about John Thompson iii in the let the firings begin - -just curious, do you think we might have any possible transfer out of G-Town that KU might show interest in? - -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Exactly my point - - Duke is almost exclusive 5 stars, you can be good & still get buried, not really get that chance to develop. - -I kind of agree with your point also about Nevada, as was stated off zags blog, he was looking to transfer somewhere closer to home, & him being out of Las Vegas would make sense for sure. - -Hell could be he checks into UNLV maybe. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark ya I understand that, - -but this kid was the # 11 player in the nation that's not cold cheese, the problem is kids like this get buried on the bench - -too many really good players that's one of the problems where it's just a ;loaded one and done after a one and done there are many many schools where he could of went and probably would of been a lot better off. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well my best bracket in the ESPN brackets is scoring at 85% - -I picked 12-16 correct for the sweet sixteen in that one, kind of make Dickie's and Bilas look sick - - lol - -got to love it. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Kind of interesting, Radio 810 all over the Porter scenario. - -Being said Micheal Porter Sr has been offered position by Mu & confirmed by Porter Sr - - So they wondering why he has not accepted the offer? - -Trying to come up with reason as to why - -the only one they come up with is - -waiting on another offer - - possibly Oklahoma? they say - -Oklahoma is one of four schools that Porter lists now as he is considering - -possibly re-connecting with Trae Young, - -sure hope not- -that would NOT BE GOOD. - - Still think he ends up in the end run at Missery. - -They said another possible reason might be looking for something more then a one year deal, afraid after Micheal gone after his yr then he gone. -- We shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well, just came across the TV - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY- -The latest firing. - -Georgetown is parting ways with John Thompson the 3rd. - -So any possible transfers from there for us maybe? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well you can now officially add another to the transfer list. - -Chase Jeter announced he is transferring out of Duke. - - -Ya people saying just another case of K taking another 5 star recruit and screwing with his future - -people saying Jeter mistakes was going to Duke in the first place, He says looking to go somewhere closer to home. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Ya, at this point there are no flashy ones left, but still could find some solid hopefully. What we Don't need is just take whatever to fill scholi, a someone who is an end of the bench 4-5 minute player, we need someone who still is at least solid. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay One thing I've noticed even before this, we are pretty dam even all across the boards we shoot 49% - they shoot 48%, - - they average 38 rebounds per - - we average - -39 rebounds per they shoot 40.4 % -for the game from 3pt range, - - we shoot 40.6 % from the 3 pt range. - - -they average 80 points we average 83, per game - - it's gonna be close.. - -they got 9 players averaging 12 minutes or more - - -Can't afford to put them at the line a lot, they shoot pretty well- - - Time to Rock. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well it , -- -it's game day my friends. Hate sitting around all day, long day, nervous- this is going to be a test. Like I have heard multiple times from people, it's going to come down to who can control pace of game. - -W wana get out and run -Purdue more grind and pound big boys - -so how will it go? - - We can't afford foul trouble Soooo with that being said - - time for some predictions. I'll have to say KU 84 - -- Purdue 79 -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Yes I sure di, hope my 2nd chance turn out better then my first chance lol, got my 2nd chance in the CBS also. - -hope you have good luck with yours also - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Oh I'm in really good spirits today thanks . - -I'm hyped and ready to go, kind of nervous about match ups, hope we don't get in foul trouble trying to match up on their bigs. - -Time for our Jayhawk power to come together and guide us through. - -Thanks a lot you've been a big help to me through some things, let's just do Basketball right? have a great day - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Lmao, found this kind of funny. - -All the so called experts, analysts , the so AWSOME ACC homers.. Read off ESPN some people giving them hell off the WV - -Gonzaga game conversation, talking about how these ACC homers brackets all bust up.:: - - -Joe Lunardi"s 57% - -Bilas 41%- -VITALE MR know everything DUKE & Carolina Bred - - - 34% - -let me say this again lol - - 34% and then bringing up the bottom - -Jay Williams 28% - - -ya 28 %. mercy, mercy I don't feel near as bad now with my picks lol. - -Maybe we need to go take their place this is the best they can do, Why you ask? good question -it's because they got their nose buried so far up the ACC you know what they can't smell reality- - this is pretty funny. - -How is the ACC working for ya know Dickie lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo Couldn't agree more, you should of heard Keitzman off Radio 810 the other day, He was so sappy, saying almost begging Porter Sr to take the MU position, Kind of funny knowing that he is a K-State guy, but he was saying " Oh what is there to think about? - -Everybody knows that this is Porters best move, shouldn't be a no brainer come on." - - Sayin how the family has been split apart and the family hasn't been the same since Porter and daddy went to Washington - -Man you talk about someone pleading, I think he thinks Porter will be like the 2nd coming for Missouri -dang good player but ummm no. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

WOW, Mercy, Mercy, this has become a very long thread. - - -Maybe we need to start a next recruit up Phase two lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jaybate-1.0 Hey, thanks for the words of wisdom -- greatly appreciated, I know I can be a major thorn, someone that rubs people the wrong way at times, just ask my wife she tells me that all the time lol. Seriously I appreciate it. Soap on a rope - - -ahh yes the good ol days, let's see now, now you mentioned that I'm trying to remember at the time of my growing up there seemed to be just that one brand - but for the life of me, I can't remember the brand name lol - -See another brain fade, that's what happens when you get old like me lol. - -Have a great day my friend. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@autohawk I hear ya. maybe they long lost brothers lol. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp Couldn't agree more I'm sure inside he will be pulling so hard for Purdue - -and just be slobbering all over them any chance he gets., & no doubt what so ever if he gets the chance about getting a contract for a series, if he has the opportunity to voice his opinion he sure will. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well I read where ESPN has rated the last 16 teams jerseys from 1-16, like others have said this is an all time low, they must REALLY be bored lol. But with having said that might as well run with it, I'll put you out of the mystery who # 16 is and I know is no surprise - - -BAYLOR with those Neon Lime Green uni's have to agree., thought was kind of interesting comments on a couple. So the following : # 15 - - -Arizona - - -# 14- - -Purdue they said ( Purdue road uniforms feel & look clunky & choppy.- - -# 13- - -Butler- - -# 12- - -Kentucky - -got to love this: they said: ( there is a fine line between having a signature visual element and too much of a great thing. Kentucky's checkerboard trim is on the WRONG side of that line lmao. - -the wildcats need to dial it back a bit.- - -# 11 South Carolina- - - - # 10 Gonzaga- - -# 9- - Michigan- - -# 8- - -Wisconsin, any guesses on # 1 lol- - - # 7- - -UCLA- - -# 6- - -West Virginia- - -# 5 - - -Xavier- - -# 4 - -Florida- - -# 3 - -YES, - -Our Kansas Jayhawks, here is what they had to say about our uni's:: - -Simple straight forward design can still look distinctive and instantly recognizable.- - -KU'S case over signature Trajan type face is the visual element that transforms this design from generic to CLASSIC. - -so there you go - - -# 2 is - -Oregon- - -& # 1 is why yes of Course - - N Carolina, - - -what a surprise there you have it my friends from worst to best - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp Oh Crap. so we are CBS? - -that's great having Marsha, hmm who wondes if the question will get thrown out at some point - - brought up maybe even more then once along the line about the trying to get a KU/WSU series going what has to take place and such - -I could just hear it now. I wouldn't surprise me if that doesn't arise throughout the game somewhere maybe two, three times - -Marshal will jump all over it. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr I believe they did. - -I believe all the teams have appointed open practice times, could be wrong. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@REHawk Well I certainly appreciate you feed back, it's greatly appreciated, and I feel like I'm normally the type of guy I can take as well as give on legit argument. what I DON'T appreciate is someone who I feel like almost every thread I post they find some way to try and degrade - -humiliate, what ever to their liking with me, and a person can only take so much.

I mean I sincerely the other day was bringing forth a point because on the Lawrence Journal rag they decided they wanted to run - -re run what ever you wanna call it a story an old story at that that provided no new information on a rape investigation from 3 months ago. - -Many many readers responded by saying was that the best they could do? So I suggested here and there as well - -WHY could they give us some information about how spring practice was going from the football program. - -Well there is a few like one individual that for some reason he ha takin a dis-like to me so be it, so he took the opportunity instead of informational response such as even as little as stating - - - -there is simply really nothing to report on the football team - -but he felt the need to just say - -IT'S MARCH - -well my thought is why is it every time WHY does this person come across as a smart ass. - -It's MARCH - - -LIKE REALLY? it like why the hell would you ask for such information it's MARCH, also lie they have no interest in any other KU program then Basketball. - I totally get where your coming from - I fully understand where your trying to help me I appreciate the feed back. I'm normally pretty easy, but their are some that I think are just trying to push buttons - -and thev have done it - -I'm only taking so much - but that being said I really appreciate the responses from others here it helps. - -NOW it's on the tourney - -let's do this lol. - - thanks again. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans thanks, mercy I'm getting old, lol - - can't remember squat. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey, Hey -- -they representing the conference well - -made final four in the NIT headed to NY. - -Good for them, like someone else said, kind of hard to believe Texas Tech didn't get invited anywhere, would of thought they too would have made NIT - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Interest for Blake? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 I agree will be interesting to see what the Ball's do. I know it has ben said to just ignore Dad - -seems like dad doesn't like that so much. They ran a article off ESPN, seems he is crossing a line has now brought Lebron into the conversation - -thing is he brought Lebron's family into it, they say that's where he has crossed the line. He said you keep my family out of your mouth. - -you talk about me it's fine - -you keep my family out of it. - -He now has talked smack one way or another on Jordan, Barkley, James it's crazy.- - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Thanks, I appreciate that I'm not here to try and cause trouble. I enjoy people here but I also want let some just blast away either. I'm not perfect- - never claimed to be. appreciate you thoughts. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well let's see, I feel the need to choose my words wisely about what I feel the need to say here. For if I do not it will leave the door open for an easy target for SOME to yet attack - yet again. So:

Let me say, I have many, many, friends, been to I'm a very laid back, easy going, funny individual, easy to get along with, was always known kind of as a class clown, the cut up, I like to joke, have fun forget being the serious, all the time. - -I know Soo? Just saying that's all.

Guys & gals let me say I love this site & I have no beef or complaints - - -for the most part. I came here checked it out, found it to be very interesting, and found people very well informed, that was willing to share their views, this is why I wanted to also join in. Yet there are a few that I have butted heads with , yet name me places, scenario's where that doesn't happen ANYWHERE you go in life? Yet there have been some that seem like that it has become their mission to take a personal attack on me or any threads that I post.

I did not come to this site to cause trouble, I came here to have fun, enjoy and inner act with fellow individuals that have a passion for sports, for the University of Kansas.

Multiple , Multiple times when I have posted some have felt the need to take the time to bring to my attention my grammer, spelling, punctuation, format of my threads, SOME have felt the need to attack me by making comments of or about my passion for KU, there is some here that instead of just commenting on the post just see an opening an opportunity to launch another personal verbal attack trying to make me look like an idiot. I have people who like to correct slang YA/ instead of yes - - Dam - - -in different forms of language that's just wonderful. -- Once again I didn't realize this was English 101. If there is slang from me it's because that's exactly how I meant it to be used.

Yet when I come back at these few individuals, what do I hear? - -I hear OH well if you don't like this then find a different site, get the hell out. - - -Or I hear well some have tried BUT they are losing their patience with you - - Or Calm down or - - OR " Google It " - - -Once again I know I actually am a very laid back an easy going person, BUT I won't let someone just personally attack me or just flat out be a smart ass, and try to make me out to be a rebel or idiot. I'm going to speak back, I'm going to give you MY opinion on your attack to me. - -Like one said people have tried to get along but their patience is running out - -Well that door swings both ways My patience is also running out. You see I didn't come here to have some say " Google It " hell I came to inner act, with others, - -I came here to mingle, enjoy the companionship of fellow KU fans. - -I did NOT come here to get blasted for my opinion of things or get personally attacked BY SOME every time I post.

It actually kind of stuns me really, depresses me the actions of some. - -I thought that those kind of days would get left in High School, I would of thought maybe we would of matured a little more by now. But I guess for some this is how you get your rocks of. I get attacked about my passion for KU - people saying oh yet ANOTHER thread about how your such a complete huge KU fan - - I get criticized when I state or truly trying to find out about KU other sports programs another attack just being a smart ass - -again simple solution you don't care for my thread - -pass on, don't bother, don't feel the need to respond - -seems pretty simple. Yet they would rather launch yet again, coming across like I'm an idiot, --ass or whatever else any of you may feel the need to imply.

Yes I DO have a passion for KU -Yes I am very loyal to ALL sports as it pertains to KU, YES maybe I am to much I can become very heated, when someone talks crap on Ku, considering I have not spent one single day - -hour - -minute as a student or grad student at KU - -I will not apologize for my passion of KU, and I won't sit back and just let some one talk smack to me for my passion about KU. -- You say oh another about how I'm such a huge KYU fan? - - Dam straight another, and there will be many, many, many more - -get over it. Plus if I wanted to Google something I would of never come here in the first place, I want inner action with people, not Google.

I know most of you will think or say - well you don't like how things are then just leave - -but sorry to say that's not happening. Shouldn't have to. For the most part most everybody in here is awesome, great insight on the recruiting, the players, and just the overall game of basketball it'self I am so grateful of the information you put out this is why I really enjoy this room BUT for some I really think things for you will never change it's just sad. When I 1st came in here, I didn't realize you had to fill out a personal bio, stating your level of education, personality traits, and so on and so on. -- Once again I never claimed to be the quickest - - the smartest, correct with my grammer, but I know even with the mistakes I have made for the most part you have been able to understand as to what I was trying to get across - -you just felt THAT NEED to let me know I was wrong with things, to that I have to say thank you soooo much, it must be awesome to be perfect. or most of you once again, thank you for the conversation, the knowledge, that you have helped me, well not just me but have brought to the room I really do appreciate it, and will continue to do so . Now I know there will be a few that feel the need to come back and blast away and attack- -that's fine go ahead, I would expect anything less from you, whatever makes your day, but to everyone anyways have a great day and like always even though some don't seem to like it I will contine to end with ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
