Hoping the Nuggets draft CB so I can watch him play.
Based.
Love the spots for both our guys. I can't believe there were people that thought CB wouldn't test well. He's going to stick around in the NBA. Really fits how the game is played now.
I want you to honestly seriously tell me that you thought he would go that high - Come on now be real
I ain't gonna lie I didn't think there was any way he would be picked THAT HIGH, and if your being honest I don't think ANYONE here thought he would be that high either Al I hear from guys here and others that he was a fringe 1st round 28th or below to 2nd round.
So you tell me and remember GOD'S listening to you and remember you can go to hell just sa fast for lying as you can for stealing - I want you to tell me with a straight face you thought he would go that high

I'm afrai there just no way Christan a 1 st round pick now. I think looking like 35 or 36th - -hope I'm wrong
Glad Och was picked Lottery just not crazy about the team. - -Now with him as a lottery his money guaranteed right ?
So where does our boys land guys ?- - I saw in a mock draft off ESPN and they had Oach at # 14 to Cleveland- -Notsur on Christan - -I think Oach is like 16th hope he lands better

What a great single. When the album came out I was working at a Top 40 station in Topeka...my first DJ gig out of college. Never got tired of the song even though we played it at least once or twice a night. It's a shame that lead singer Phil Lynott died way too young (36)...anther drug casualty.

He was known as biggie because he weighed 350 pounds in Jr. High. Someone saw his potential and obviously he put in the work. He was basically a homeless kid who had a really really tough upbringing. After leaving Purdue and a cup of coffee in the league, he, and this is conjecture, but no team to play for, COVID hit, and he let himself go. Word was he had gained a lot of weight so the natural cause was probably related to that.
As a BIG fan I loved watching him compete. Really amazing college player.
Not sure if you can see this picture, but he obviously had gained a lot. https://www.instagram.com/p/CfFS2i4vpsC/ ā

@jayballer67 Bill made a calculated choice to not amp up the team for that game. WE had just won a double overtime game against 13th ranked Tech, were scheduled to play at # 20 Iowa St, #8 Baylor, and at #20 Texas after 'Tucky. If we amp up against 'Tucky, then we run the risk of losing at the Clones, and against Baylor, which would've put us in a such a deep hole in conference, we might not get out. Bill even said he didn't care about the game.
I have to laugh at that. So your telling me that he didn't amp up his 10 pt Coaching advantage for that game lmao. - - Has nothing to do with the players as you said we had a 10 point Coaching advantage every time we play -- - so I get it he gave his brain the night off for that game lol - - gotcha bud - -I like that. - -just giving you the business - -every brain needs a night off

@bskeet said in No matter what team you pull for:
Remind me again why we are fawning over the Yankees and not the Royals on this site? I grew up in the 70s. My hero was George Brett. My villain was Reggie Jackson. My hatred for the yankees was forged in far too many frustrating losses for my beloved home team in the regular season and the playoffs. So much so, that I became a Red Sox fan when the Royals weren't competitive.
Mainly why is because this is an open forum. - -I'm a Yankee fan have been and always will.-- - All the way back to Ford , Richardson , Kubek , Pepitone , Tresh , - Maris , Mantle , Berra Guidry , Stottomeir.
I can't stand Geroge Brett. I can still remember when I was a drivers license examine in Lenexa Ks, When Brett came in to renew his DL he made us clear the office out so he was the only one in there one aggorant ass. - The difference between him & Frank White was night and Day.
Frank was the friendliest most out going happy go lucky guy - -coming in and just trying to renew his Dl - -did he force us to clear the office ? -NOOOO. - -people harassing him for autograph which he ended up gladly doing just asking them to hold on. Much respect for Frank White.
Use to be some classic Royal/Yankee playoffs but KC kinda feel off the face of the Earth now - But this whole site is entitled Royals or other MLB so I posted - -I have no prolem with othr teams you can cheer for whoevre the hell you wanna cheer for, take your shots - -relly it's ok and I will just sit back and continue to watch NY roll
Umm that team that has so many home runs cause they have that cheap 295 ft right filed wall ?- -had 79 home runs at the time I guess. - - Well must of pissed them off cause road trip to Toronto - -no 295 foot wall there and only in the 5th and they have hit THREE MORE home runs - now 104 home runs on the year. - - Huh guess goes to show not only do they hit a lot of home runs at home -but also on the road. lmao
and that 295 right field fence? - -wouldn't you think that any team that goes in there has the same chance to take advantage of that short fence ? - -Only one problem with that. NY leads the Amreicn league giving up the least home runs to opposing teams- -pretty simple - -Success brings envy. - -Don't hate the players - - hate the game. Things gonna be all right

Congrats Wiggs! Better for him that he didn't get Finals MVP. Stay humble and hungry. Earn that extra title in the future when he takes the helm of a team like Curry has.
Awesome to see Clay get another ring, too. I can so relate to his comeback and how much suffering/sacrifice he went through to get back on the big stage.... even having to battle through G league.
Even though Wiggs had a very solid NBA playoff - -he wasn't MVP good. Steph had that pretty well locked down , even though I will say Wiggs play a prety dam good all around game. - -Scoring , defending, rebounding. Clay wasn't in consideration a he was up and down - -Green was ehhhh not really all that those for GS were the really the only one's you might consider
Wiggs is fine and his ring is something that he can always look back at and appreiate - - just glad he found a home. - Bad fit at Minnesota - -just wasn't working
@drgnslayr said in Big 12 Expansion:
I heavily doubt if the Big 10 wants us... and why would they? It's not good for any conference to add a horrible football team. What does any of their current teams gain by adding us to their schedule? And then we come in on basketball and completely stir the pot.
The Big 10 is a horrible idea for us and for them. Horrible. We are better off as an independent. Why are $s important when we will get murdered every year in football and experience a decline in our basketball program.. all happening while trashing our identity.
We may face some struggle with the Big 12 coming up... let's compare that to the struggle created in some of these super conferences, with so many teams divided and odd unfair schedules... and zero identity because it is all unnatural and without historic significance.
I agree bud. I just don't think us going to the Big 10 is a given as like many think. - -Your right because at THIS MOMENT ur football brings nothing to the Big 10 , our other sports are just eh --not bad BUT not goo enough to help out a lot. Basketball is our Ace - -but just don't think some people think that it's a given were gonna get invited. - I'm just not that sure, and on top of that I'm not gonna lose sleep over it if we don't.
I don't think we are as bad off as some think. We have added quality teams to the league, Houston for sure more then will hold it's own in Basketball - Cincinn isn't no slouch. - BYU is capable I actually think we up graded in Basketball, & I don't think it's as bad as some of those people that are standing on the edge of the cliff thinking the world is coming to an end in football. - -Again Houston & Cin cinn both will be repectable sur on the football front they won't be quite the caliber but in the other sports - - -let's wait and see before we think that the Big 10 is just frothing at the mouth to get it in. - -That's not happening people. WE might get in -we might not

@drgnslayr said in Big 12 Expansion:
Let's face it... we remain a big nothing burger in football, and will probably always remain that. So we go from a conference where we might win some games or we go to a conference where we may never win another conference game.
From a basketball perspective, I think we lose by going to the Big 10. It's a conference that plays a rough version of basketball. I'd hate to recruit when you have to tell players they'll have to "pad up" before games. It's an identity we simply don't have and goodbye recruiting in the south.
I'm sure Nebraska would love us to join, so they get at least one team they can thrash every year in football!
I wouldn't get myself all worked up just yet about us and the Big 10 Drgnslayr, I'm just not that sure that the Big 10 will give us that invite a even though with our Basketball that our other sports non revenue & revenue bring enough to the table to entice that invite. Basketball would be the bonus for us but like we have been made aware of Football is the sport that brings the money it IS THE SPORT & as we know thats not going to get us in. I just don't think if we stay where we are at that we are going to be in such dier straights as some try to make it out to be. Play it out let's see how things work before we worry about the doom and gloom of staying put. - I just don't think that the Big 10 is going to be as a automatic invite as some seem to think that they would be chomping at the bit to get us to join

@BShark agreed and as we all do.
If he learns from it thatās the key.In recruiting itās like the nfl/nba draft and you have sure fire studs but even then sometimes they flop or donāt live up to the hype. Itās a crapshoot often.
Cam could flat out score and used his wide body in D2. Hard to ignore his numbers as say you throw Mitch down in D2 I doubt heād produced like Cam.
You hit on most recruits or transfer and miss on a few as maybe they just arenāt cutout for it. Hope Cam proves us all wrong but between Zach and the two frosh studs who are athletic freaks hard to see much time there.
I don't think Cam will see the floor a lot.- - just to much depth. - -I fully realize they were just scrimmages and kind of hard to gauge off these BUT I know this - - Zuby is a big boy and if we can get even half of that type of production from him or Udeh - -were going to be just fine with our bigs - you put those two in the Big position along with Zach - think the bigs are well covered

33% from 3. 9.7 points a game. Wayne's first year. Not bad. I'd take that. But I think that's underselling MJ, imho.
'm telling ya once again. People better look out for rice. I thinkhe is being under sold.- -The kid is a stud - -COMPLETE all around player. Bully people around? - - so be it, it is going to be a match up night mare before you know it can pretty much do it all
I think he will give grady a real run for his money for that spot Coach is talking about. - -I'll take MJ on my team any time any day any where
I think he's a true dog, and it won't be possible to keep him off the court. Him and McCullar are going to flat punish teams in the paint. I can see coach pulling Zach outside the perimeter, and Rice posting up down low. He will eat them alive. I think he'll be ahead of Gradey.
ya I kind of think he might beat Grady out too, just a much much College made body - -lot more physical attacks the rim plays through contact - where I think Grady likes to play more on the outside. Even the MJ can do that too , maybe not up to Grady on the outside. I just think people are selling MJ short and I don't know why.
I mean we had so many people sweating nuggets that he would neve touch the College floor and then relieved when he showed AND NOW they talking down playing him just not seeing it - -the kid can flat out ball

Don't need anyone coming with the obvious statement well it's early don't worry Bil always get a good group. - To that I say - - Thanks Captain Obvious. just haven't really heard a lot of positive where it's at that almost a given kid coming , of course again going to depend on roster turnover , portals and such - -just curious.

We have to put our emotions on the side here and look at hard facts. All the numbers on viewership are out there for us to study. Basketball doesn't draw near the crowds that football does, and it is also represented in real numbers in stadiums.
I do remember life before Texas in our conference. We survived. Has our sports lives been enhanced since Texas entered our conference? We've won two basketball titles. Do we thank Texas in any part of that? I know it is painful to even ask those questions. Do I personally give Texas credit? No. I give Self and Brown credit. But these are my thoughts and feelings, and as I said above... we need to tamper emotions on this to think rationally.
I myself am in a mind of just let this play out. I think we might end up being better off in this then what some think. Answer to your question, did Texas help us in any way ? - -The answer for me is a big fat simple NO
i'll actually be glad when they are gone - you want out ? - -get the F - - - out. You may end up finding out you not the studs you think you are. .I think ?Texas is in trouble in football in the SEC - -well actually they in trouble in both , they are liable to be middle of the pack , you not gonna be playin kick the can when you come up against the LSU'U - the Georgia's & others. - In Basketball they gonna be in trouble against Kentucky Florida's and others. - I think Oklahoma is a bigger loss then Texas, i would of much rather have them stay then Texas.
