@kjayhawks ya I was on another site and they mentioned this too - -Man he is getting chewed up and spit out. - some of the things being said

Example: - - one said when talking about Lavar: - - -Crack hell of a drug, - - -or guy is an attention whore, - - he says he wants a 10 yr ! billon dollar shoe deal for his family. - -People say funny they not seeing people lining up to buy his line of clothing, - -

@drgnslayr I do too, we need to show well this year - - -represent well this year. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Ralph WELL not really sure where you may have been, pretty common been known or reported that Duke is clear cut leader for him to commit - -he has come out and said how much he has enjoyed his visits to duke more then one - doesn't really take a rocket scientist to figure that out. - -widely known Duval is duke's top target - that was also written on today - they were talking about how Waters had Duke on his list until he committed to G-town but Duke has Duval as their top target. - -Hell he isn't allowed to sign no LOI right now has to wait, so do to popular knowledge umm ya it has been a pretty foregone conclusion he is a heavy Duke lean - If you have been following here - -pretty much the same fore gone conclusion people feeling the same way. - -Duke has made it perfectly clear they are in need of a point guard next year - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Huh, ya I'll go ahead and say up front - -not really trying to read anything in this - just thought it was interesting and WHY? - - So don't think I'm trying to imply anything just passing casual conversation more then anything. - -But still brings up a question Why?

Just receives a prediction for Ku on Truval - -It's been a pretty much fore gone conclusion he is on his way to Duke - -so why would this guy give a prediction to KU? - -The Guy is Dylan Prezkop is how made the predict. just thoughts in my head - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@ralster ya I was watching some of the Bracketology on ESPNU and of course their all saying KU will be the first # 1 out - -- then it shows that we are the weakest # 1 seed, - -now I get this I fully understand our # 8-9 are both pretty good team - -Coach Izzo, love the guy & then Miami - --but still I'm not scared of either of those match ups.

Possibly matching up with Iowa St again - -all I have to say with that is - - BRING IT - -Purdue ya they have some bigs - but how they gonna match up with our 4 out 1 in?

Louisville - - very stiff test -hell ya very big Game - -we have played bigger with this group - or at least as good - - -Duke, Kentucky - - -then they have to bring up all the off court issues, how that can hurt us, not concentrate. I dunno - -just not really giving us much of a chance - -that's cool I'll take my chances with these guys. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr na I have to disagree but that's what makes for good conversation right? I feel pretty god about WV coming out of the 1st weekend & actually I feel pretty good about Iowa State making it through the 1st weekend. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@justanotherfan I took Xavier in a couple of mine - - middle Tennessee State in a couple - - -Hell I even took Wichita State over Kentucky in a couple. - - - took UNC Wil over Virginia in a couple - - - took Rhode Island over Creighton in a couple & then I even took the winner of Wake Forest/KSU assuming it's Wake - -if Wake wins that I even took them over Cincinnati in a couple.

@JayHawkFanToo I DID? - - When did I say that? - -ha, that must of been a real brain fade for me if I said that, if I did sorry - -I WISH , na actually no I don't other then the days when these dam screws and this spacer they put in my back are acting up - OR when my dam knee is still acting up - -about 85 % sure going to have a total knee replacement now - -yippee. anyways no I'm not 31 , I'm going on 63 come August so I'm entitled to my brain fade lol. - - that's how I've been through 10 kids and over 20 grand kids and working on great grand kids lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@nuleafjhawk Roflmao, now you stop that lol. - -Missery worked really , really hard to get their 6 wins lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Ya, I just got through filling out my guazillon brackets from different sites - -see if I can't win SOMETHING - -besides the laughing stock on my picks award lol , I actually pick KU vs Villanova multiple times. - -seems like you say to be a pretty popular pick. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Blown I just saw from the Zags Blog site the article saying this was from Vegas. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Odds: - -KU 8-1 - - -Villanova & UNC 9-1 - -Gonzaga , Duke , Kentucky 10-1 - -UCLA & Arizona 12-1- - Louisville 16-1 - -& Oregon 20-1.

@mayjay lmao - -ya 31 - - - 31 ya that's right lol - -hell it's been so long ago I can't even begin to remember what that felt like lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkInMizery that's awesome. But we just got to get through the 1st two games first. - -2nd round might be a pretty good matchup either way - We have the road set for us, now we just got to use the local environment to help pull us through. - -Hope you get to go just pull hard we be fine. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo I Hear ya. -- I read an article about daddy and the NBA. - One NBA guy said that once Lonzo gets his NBA money he will no doubt ignore lil mr game me fame spotlight daddy. - -glad my dad wasn't that way, when I was entertaining my professional career in baseball - -My dad stepped back knew it was my choice - -my choices I needed to make- -BY MYSELF I was an young adult - I needed to make adult decisions. - -Oh I mean sure he was there for me when I asked but other then that- he said this was my time - -my future - -my decision. - -Mr Ball is like a bad dream - - HE NEVER GOES AWAY - -lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KansasComet Well I sure don't need attention - -Ball daddy for sure looking for some though. - -I get all the attention I ever need plus some from my wife - - my 10 kids- -and ALL my grand kids. - -I actually probably got TO MUCH attention, that's why I had 10 kids and like 20 plus grandkids. - -But the ONE thing you are right about I AM passionate - -VERY much so about Our Kansas Jayhawks - -sometimes to much, got a very quick temper too much so a lot of times - -when people start talking smack about KU or anything remotely about the University. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I like the early game time, we win then we have even more time to get a little rest - -relax - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

well we play early Friday 5:50 at night think I like the early game time to rest afterwards - -of course we got to win this 1st one first - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I have to believe and think as well as others MAN they screwed Wichita State, I'm sorry say what you want that IS NOT a # 10 seed. - -that's laughable like Jay Bilas said whats goin to happen with them seeding them like that look out. - -Could be a very interesting re-match possible 2nd round Kentucky - -Wichita State and I kind of like Wichita State I just do - -Kentucky is on and off - - Call me crazy I wanna keep my eye on that game - - Wichita State pretty deep bench - -Got some nice height - -we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree, could be a lot worse - -I really think it's going to boil down to KU- Louisville - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Possible 2nd round game with Michigan State could be pretty tight. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE ummm, NOPE lol

@KansasComet Agree. - -I think that's the problem I have. - -It just seems daddy wants to be the center of attention - - kind of look at me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The team people better hope they don't match up again with right now -see them matched up against you? - - -I'm telling you - - look out for Michigan - -looks really good. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp LMAO, ya I like you, great approach - -tell ya what our mediocre just won us our 13th straight conference title - -just more likely then not has the Nations player of the year - -has the Nations record for consectutive streak for going to the NCAA's the Nations 2nd winningest program, a NBA lottery pick this year, ranked in the top 7 the entire year with our mediocre team let me check our record - -OH there it is 28-4 let me say it again 28- on the season -not to sure but I believe there is ALOT of fans, schools, coaches that would LOVE to have a mediocre team such as that. - -not really sure why we should get any attention/mention -not sure at all. - -but you run with that thought you'll be fine roflmao - just remember this phrase - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The thing I'm noticing that for the most part, we are not getting any love, no talk much as I just heard, not much talk of us being in the final four or possible champion. You know the typical talk about Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, BUT not a whole lot of talk about KU. - -That's fine with me, keep us under the table, let them under estimate us, I hope the other teams feel that same way too. We will just go quietly about our business- - - Like I posted earlier - -it's about Victory - -That goes to those with rage - - Risk all go extreme - -play with that " Team rage" - go ahead- -just keep over looking us -we be here thanks for asking. - some of what they think - -say might be warranted but you know what ? - -I'll take my chances with the 7 we got - -Thanks for stopping by - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Jerry Palm from CBS latest has Villanova, Gonzaga , KU, & Duke - - -maybe still hard to think Duke can be a # 1. - - If anything I could see Arizona flipping with Gonzaga and then KU - -Villanova & then maybe Duke flipping north Carolina - -I CAN NOT seeing Duke taking our spot - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree totally. - -Again before this weekend Duke had lost 3-4, finished fifth in their conference, Ku end up the regular season poll ranked as the # 1 team in the nation - had just won their 13th straight conference title in what is surpose to be considered one of the top 2 conferences in the Nation - -A team that was never out of the top 10 the entire season - -A championship over a period of 4 months - -NOT 4 games. - -The only way in hell Duke replaces KU as a # 1 is going strictly the committee kissing duke ass because of the Coach name RAT FACE and nothing about what his puke team accomplished this season. - -if anything Duke replaces Gonzaga before they take KU'S # 1. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 YA, - - - -emphasize -MVC - - MVC - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@brooksmd There is no friggin way that is happening. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@DanR Thanks , so they switch around every year?Cause like you stated & I still have an old bracket from last year like you posted, I would think they would leave the region set up the same every year - -like 2016 South vs West & East vs Midwest - -I would think that set up would stay the same but hell I'm not the Committee lol - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Big-Clyde52 Thank you, ya that's the way it was last year I still had an old bracket make up from last year but just wasn't sure & CBS was different, but I think that's how ESPN bracket challenge is sit up too so I believer your right. So that would mean if we were in the Midwest we would be playing the East region winner in the final four right? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr EXACTLY, that's what I'm talking about lol - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@drgnslayr I don't think in the end run Duke will get the # 1 seed - -how do you put a 8 loss team as a # 1 seed, before the tourney they had lost 3 out of their last 4, didn't win their conference - -just don't justify it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm STILL , STILL, trying to get my poster board tourney bracket made up. - -Not the teams but where to place my region on the board. - -ESPN shows the bracket made up as East & West on the top part of the bracket and West & Midwest on the bottom. - But CBS sports bracket is different , so I'm not sure how they set up. - -Got to know how to place them on my board.. - -The way ESPN shows it - -it would be East vs West & South vs Midwest in the final four match ups. - -Does anyone know for sure how the regions set up? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Big-Clyde52 Exactly -Very well said. We ned to make a statement this year - stop the early exits - -Make that statement -Sit down and shut the HELL UP type of statement. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well guys would sure be great if it turned out like this, if joey was in charge for placing teams. I would love our region: - - He has it as - - # 1 KU - -# 2 Duke - - -# 3 Oregon- - -# 4 Butler - - -I would take that ALL DAY LONG. - - Ya True Duke is on a roll, but where it is being held would be an advantage -- -Oregon just lost a very vital part to their team from an ACL - - -Butler - - pssssssssssssssssssssst REALLY? - -sure they may be a solid team bu I'm not concerned with that. -and the other notables - -# 5 -Florida ehhhh, - -# 7 - -Minnesota - -ummm no.

Looks like the south would be loaded # 1 N Carol , - -# 2 Kentucky- - # 3 UCLA - - # 4 West Virginia - - other notables - -# 5 Cincinnati #- - -# 8 WSU - -looks pretty tough.

West #1 Gonzaga - - #2 Arizona - -could see those two flipping seeds , #3 Louisville- - #4 Purdue - -Pretty solid region. - -Possible 2nd round matchup if Gonzaga # 1 seed? - -possible 2nd round Gonzaga vs Oklahoma St -- if I was Oklahoma St - -I would love that possibility.

East # 1 Villanova- - # 2 Baylor- - # 3 N Dame- - # 4 Florida St -- For me?- -I really think this would be the weakest Region. - - rock chalk all day long baby

@Hawk8086 The one Big thing that is being brought up about West Virginia is true yes for us, we have seen their style enough , we are seeing it twice a year, year after year and are coming up with adjustments for the press. Where as in the tourney doesn't matter how much tape you watch 2 days is not very much time to try and prepare for this. - -I'm just saying that with the right match ups they could sneak in - I sure wouldn't want to bet my house BUT they could. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@cragarhawk LMAO, I'm feeling ya 100% - - -My point exactly. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey we closing the gap - -- Gonzaga guy 32.9 - - -Our Boy Frank 25.5 - - - closing the gap - -down to 7.4% difference. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

just a follow up - - Here we go - -Here we have on ESPN daddy Ball spewing off at the mouth on ESPN about how the Ball era is about to take over just rambling out idle BS total unbelievable, just rambling while these kids have done absolutely NOTHING, and dad making ridicilious statement about how better then Steph. - -Give me a fricken break. and what's more unbelievable is ESPN airing this giving so much time to this idiot. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well Guys & Gals the time is here, It's go time , it's money time, call it what you want, you can twist it anyway you want, it's time for the boys to lace them up, put their big boy britches on and " GIVE THEM HELL

So with that being said, going to throw a couple of things out - -let me hear you -give me your thoughts: Ok, - - so who you think is the most serious for final 4? - - -Mine I'm not real sure BUT I kind am feeling, N Carol , KU , Villanova , & Arizona - -now keep in mine where these teams are placed - in what region , obviously if 2 in the same region well then - -you know BUT if they all land in different region well then.

OK , next who would a sleeper be for you? - -a team depending alot on matchup could work their way to the final four? - - Mine? a couple actually - - West Virginia, just because of the style their constant press & then here you go - - Michigan -Don't laugh I'm serious, they are on a roll and with a break here a break there, just depends who is playing their best ball at the time.

Then lastly guys I want to relay this saying this quote on to our boys going into the tourney have always love this and always will - This is what I want Frank and the guys to think - -to feel - -This is my message to them

• • • • • • • • " Victory " - - - Goes to those who Rage - - -Risk All , Go Extreme - - - Team Rage. - - -Rock chalk everone. - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY -

@kjayhawks I know, I guess that's what I'm trying to get at. - -I mean another thing is Lonzo's younger brother, when he scored the 92 points right? - -After that IT WAS ON. - -ESPN just went all gaga over it. - - This kid is still in high school and they try and make you think that the Ball kids are the 2nd coming. As you said Lonzo - -any of these guys have PROVED NOTHING. - - I don't get it, this has become a three ring circus with ESPN and this family. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It's ok my friends - - let them enjoy their little 3 day weekend championship. - -I take our 3-4 month overall championship any day of the week - - -wait, - wait -- wait oh dam my bad - -I meant to say I'll take our THIRTEEN straight years of conference championships where the body of work REALLY SHOWS -they can be the paper champion lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OMG. - -Not sure who else seen this, I just did. - -that wonderful station - -doing a whole big whoopee doo on these people - -About the Ball family and daddy - -my question is -- -WHY? - - This has just gotten out of control with this idiot- - -And he is an idiot - -they have turned these ball boys into a circus. I just can't believe this crap - - leave it to ESPN. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@brooksmd YA thanks for that, appreciated. - -I pull up zags blog and seen that. - -Who knows maybe a late Christmas gift -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK, just answered my own question. - - Tremont before his LOI his schools that were in the hunt were U-Conn - - -Duke - - -Indiana - - KU -- -UK - - -& Yale.

Well if were to happen I think they Kentucky would not be there for sure anymore - - More then likely Duke would be out for sure because of Duval. - -So that then would leave U Conn - - Indiana - - KU - -& Yale, could be interesting I really would not be that concerned about Indiana I think for him, - -if anything I think it would then come down between KU & U- Conn - -but 1st has to get released, but I think for the most part schools usually grant kids their request if that's what they want and not hold them against their will - -we shall see. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Let's see is that the Tremont Waters kid? - -We were recruiting him right? and I think we were one of his schools he was considering right? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree with you. - -On top of that I'm not that crazy about getting the overall # 1 anyways didn't do us any favors the last time we were the over al # 1. - Yep I agree we will be in the Midwest but we need to clamp down on the defense or it's not going to matter where we go. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I listened today when Tom Keegan was on the podcast with Keitzman - -I thought right on Keeg's - -he flat got fired up about the whole Josh Jackson situation - thought he said it quite well. -- Keitzman is an idiot. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
