@jayballer67 The easiest way I have found is to go to "Scores" under NCAAM. You can then see the games that are underway and there should be a "Watch" button next to a game if it's televised. Click that and it should take you through the steps to log in using your cable provider.
Is there a cost on that buddy ?
@benshawks08 said in March Madness: Seedings? My advice... plant wheat!:
@jayballer67 If you have internet you can use the ESPN App and log in using your cable provider. That's how I watch just about every game.
ya I have internet. -So I just type ESPN.com then what do I do buddy ?
Well got to find another way to try and watch the game. - -Dam Snow has caused total signal loss - - NOT TV period. - -Anybody have any ideas ? - -Would we still be on ESPN Plus maybe ? - -Anybody
@AsadZ said in Rodgers-to-Denver deal still alive ?:
I would not mind Chiefs to go after him with a reasonable offer.
he is a hell of a player
@AsadZ said in Rodgers-to-Denver deal still alive ?:
@jayballer67 What is your take on Zadarius Smith.
How is his health?
Will Pack sign or release him?
From what I hear he has pretty much recovered. he actually play just a few snaps in the playoff game I believe. - -- I think he is gone, I just don't think with his salary and GB's salary cap issues and the other players they ahve to try and get worked out - -I don't think they can sign the Z man to another deal
No surprise to anyone
You got to keep K/State off the 3 point line make them beat you other wise - - no inside game at all - can't let them live off the 3 - - 10-21 in this game
Well ran across this had to chuckle a little , just thought I'd toss this out /chuckle. This was written by Sarah Motter AP release - - - I guess of all things as the article said with March Madness tipping off Time 2 Play. com says it conducted a survey of nearly 1500 NCAA basketball fans who voted for top mascots of schools.
So these fans that voted for the best Mascots voted Big Jay as one of the best College Mascots. , they voted Big Jay as a top Mascot in College Hoops. Overall KU's Big Jay was ranked 10th. - -They fell behind : Oregon's the Duck - - Michigan State's Sparty - - - George Town's Jack the Bulldog - - - North Carolina's Ramses - - - Texas Hook' em - - UCLA's Joe Bruin - - Florida's Albert Aligator - - -U Conn's Jonathan the Husky - - & Louisville's Louie - - -
Way to go Big Jay. - -Now here is kinda of the chuckly part, not sure why they felt reason to include so - - -so will i they said Mainwhile ( you ready ) - they said Mainwhile Kansas State University's Willie the Wildcat was considered one of the WORST by the Survey roflmao , - -Poor ol Willie came in 65th place lol - -Dam that poor school just can't catch ANY break lmao-- just found it kind of funny . - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
So tomorrow it kicks off. - -So who wins this and faces us ? - - K/State ? - -Or WV ? - - I think K/State will find a way probably didn't they beat WV this season ? - - Question who wins the Big 12 Tourney ? - -I say Texas Tech. - -I really don't care really - let our guys rest, play just enough to keep them fresh so no rust in 1st round? - -So who goes the futherest in the NCAA'S ? - -I think w will have three reach the Sweet 16 - - Baylor - - Texas Tech & KU. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@AsadZ said in Rodgers-to-Denver deal still alive ?:
Good contract moves by both Pack and Broncos.
Ya Gb had to do whatever it took and I'm a huge fan--- But now Aaron has to stand up and show he has a pair
Well now that the dust is settling, turns out just like I thought that Aaron would return to Green Bay - -finish his career as a Packer. - -Wilson to Denver - -Aaron stays.
Now like I said in a Packers site I belong to, I've been a Packer fan since like 1960 & I love Aaron Rodgers - -always have - -Always will. Like I said in the site , I knew I would catch some flack for what I posted & I said that's fine cause it's just people's opinion your opinion - -my opinion and really I probably couldn't come up with a lot to dis credit the others thoughts. So here are mine:
The deal supposedly 4 year - -200 million - IF that's true then - - Aaron is not worth it. Again don't get me wrong Aaron is a really , really good QB - -IN THE REGULAR SEASON. - -Yet for all that money Aaron has produced ONE SUPERBOWL - - -ONE.. - Now I realize that all doesn't fall on Aaron it's the tam as a whole but like you hear - -now if he has this deal - -like you hear the saying - -" show me the Money " -- Packer fns can say to Aaron - show us the results - -50 Millon to much money. GO PACK

This guy is such a good comp for CB it is insane. And he's played over 400 NBA games. So CB is most certainly a pro prospect.
CB is a legit pro prospect but he loves it in Lawrence and isn't in a hurry.

@drgnslayr said in March Madness: Seedings? My advice... plant wheat!:
Looking like we may be a 2-seed. Does anyone have a problem with this? To be honest, I'm glad if we stay off that top line because I'm lacking confidence in March this year.
Who are your picks for "chip teams?" Teams with the biggest chip. My chip teams are the Zags, Duke, Texas Tech.
Are we a Sweet 16 team? Final Four? I would be happy with a Sweet 16 game and anything past that is gravy.
What teams are NIT bound? K-State? lol
I'm with you. - -I don't feel we are a # 1 seed. - -I don't feel like we deserve a # 1 seed. - -Again like you this team can be good - -even very good a few times -- BUT there are times when we have been bad.
Tell you what sticks out to me that is going to be our un doing this year in the Tourney : - - We have a problem with scoring droughts - -some times long extended scoring droughts. - - # 2 we are to loose with the ball & the thing with this is A LOT of these TO'S are unforced. Just flat ass dribble the ball off our foot - insane bad passes - -- forced passing - - # 3 - - if w run into a tall athletic front line - - we are in trouble ( Example - -does Kentucky come to mind ) - -I think Sweet 16 is about the ceiling for this team. - -I think we have become TO DEPENDANT on Oach - and teams are starting to guard him differently and some of Bill's on floor combinations are not the best. - -Who is gonna score in these situations. Then lastly our defense is going to end up costing us - w have been terrible all year except on rare occassion, this in the Tourney will be the end of the road for us
K/State isn't going to ANY TOURNEY - -their fans are hoping they don't go to any tourney - -& Bruce's time at K/ State time is history I think. - -A lot of buzz about him being out. - -Fitz Gerald the K/State beat writer sure feels it is & feels like it needs to be. - -Plus their room is just blowing up that it should be over
@rockchalkjayhawk said in IARP update:
Hmm, if the rumor is true, it must be only about a quarter of a rumor. There's got to be way more punishment -- if there is punishment.
Loss of scholarships, fewer official visits, fines, etc. NC State got all that with the same Level 1 infractions?If we're punished and it's just Self and Co. can't coach in post season, i'll take it. It means we CAN play in the post season!
I just got this weird feeling that they are going to make Coach Self - hit him with show Cause , which in turn if they do that I think he walks. Either be asked to resign OR just walk away
@Jethro said in IARP update:
@jayballer67 Wasn't the source of that rumor from Mike Vernon? Vernon is the one that said Remy was unhappy, and was leaving the team. Remember when Self cursed during the press conference? He was cursing Vernon and his rumor mill. Vernon also told everyone we were going to the B10. Done deal. Now Vernon is back with another rumor. I don't know if the latest rumor is true, but I would wait until someone legitimate confirmed it. Vernon is considered a whack job by many KU fans.
ya it was. That's why I was asking exactly how much truth there was to this- - -if anyone knew. - -I mean I suppose it's possible--- -anything is possible , what I'm more worried about then anything else when this is all said and done and that's them hitting Coach with Show cause- - -and he be like - - -I'm out

CB will be back barring a drastic change. Jalen was set to be gone but as mentioned before it is more up in the air now.
Therre was an NBA scout I was hearing after the game and this scout was saying that CB was on A LOT of NBA teams Radar - projected as high sa 17th - Yet he said having said that - CB needs to come back
There's a big difference between being on the NBA's radar and being an NBA prospect. Christian Braun should absolutely be on the NBA's radar and should declare for the draft and go through that process to get the feedback from the NBA on what he needs to improve in their eyes.
If Braun can make the same leap Ochai did and play like he did in December for an entire season, then he'll make the same leap Ochai did from someone NBA teams have been keeping an eye on to someone who's likely going to be drafted.
Well I'm gonna say this. IF he is s high as this site is projected and I would think they just might know a little more then you and me as these are made up of NBA Scouts - if he is projected that high - - then he needs to take it and run - -run as fast as he can cause I feel there would be no way he would improve his stock by coming back as I think if it's true s some drafts have him - he has hit his ceiling - he wouldn't be going any higher
If he elected to return - -he takes a chance on having a wors year and draft status drops - he risks serious injury and NEVER making his dream period. -So again if he is truly being marked as the # 19 player he would be an idiot not to go
So do we believe there is much truth to this latest rumor ? - -Sure got them fired up on TOS. - if it is true , are we talking about 2 Seasons starting with this Season. - - I'm more concerned actually about having a show cause put on Self which in turn I think he would just say screw it
Having said that though IF that were to happen bottom line is KU was fine before Coach Self - -we would be fine AFTER Coach Self. - If it came down to it , don't think we would have any problem what so ever finding ANOTHER big time Coach

@drgnslayr said in Non-KU Games:
Duke and Coach K had a little setback yesterday. They expected UNC to foldup at the star-packed gala at Cameron. Felt like karma to me. I'm surprised we were even able to watch any of the OT in our game because ESPN was clearly more interested in showing Duke's pregame footage. It's sickening.
Coach K and his assistant coaches showed how petty they can be after the loss. Gheez... kids.... man up! What a bunch of pussies. Poor sports. If this happens to Self on his last game, he will step up to the microphone and tell a joke.
It was sickening , ESPN was how you put it . I mean we all know how far they have always had their nose up K's ass but this was even worse - should re name College game day to - - DUKE kiss ass day. Had to laugh for a bit it was showing that the Duke/N Carolina game was on the ESPN APP. - -then once they found out OT for KU/Tex - it was like Ewww what we gonna do - - and BAM Duke /N Carol can be seen on ESPN 2 lmao - -holy bat stink - - It was a perfect Saturday KU Women & Men both win And duke gets beat in their own rathole on his final day

@tis4tim said in Hypothetical: 5th Year Dave, What's the Fit?:
There’s no substitute for experience. We’ll have a bunch of green players next season. I’m all for keeping Dave if, as @FarmerJayhawk suggests, he has to compete for time and if there is room on the roster.
By all accounts he’s a smart dude, a hard worker and he bleeds crimson and blue. Three great qualities you’d look for in a mentor for the young guys.
I wouldn't have a fit if Dave came back

@FarmerJayhawk With or without Dave, I believe our biggest need is a true rim protector. I think Dave is gone so yes, a proven defensive presence is what I would like to see
Already addressed in recruiting. Ernest Udeh is going to be a very strong defensive presence for KU. Not much offensively yet, but probably the highest ceiling on defense for a 5 that KU has had since Jeff Withey. Zach Clemence has also shown the mentality to be a good defender and we should see a big leap from him on that end next season after he spends an off-season adding muscle to his frame. While KJ Adams might not be a shot blocker or good rebounder, he's shown to be an above average defender already. KU should be in a really good place defensively at the 5 spot for the next several seasons.
What KU is missing is a 6-3/6-4 combo guard. Right now, the likely options at the 2 spot next season are 6-7 Christian Braun who struggles to stay in front of smaller, quicker guards, and 6-0 Joseph Yesufu who struggles to hold his ground against bigger, stronger guards. Behind them will probably be 6-2 Kyle Cuffe, but I doubt he sees much court time next season.
KU is set at every other position. Harris and Pettiford probably going to be the two guys running the show. Braun will probably also spend a fair bit of time at the spot where KU will also have incoming freshmen MJ Rice and Gradey Dick as options. Both Dick and Rice are potential OAD caliber players as each show up as first round picks in various 2023 mock drafts. Wilson has the 4 spot locked down if he's back and Self will have Adams and another incoming freshman in Zuby Ejiofor as options. I think Gradey Dick or MJ Rice get most of the back up minutes at the 4 spot behind Wilson.

I think you have better chance /odds of Rice not ever suiting up for a single KU game - then CJ coming back. I think BOTH scenario's are pretty good that ONE CB enters the draft ( especially if the number 19 projection is a rational ) -I feel pretty confident CB will stay in the draft and rice is Rice - -still don't think he shows for good. - Both will not be here. - # 19 is about CB's ceiling in the draft if he can actually reach that come time- he not going much higher -so he will tke that and run
you know Juan catchs alot of crap and I sure am glad he played last night over Remy - just am. In reality for this game without question we would of went down again - especially late. - Guy had a hell of a stat line for someone just sniffing 6 ft and is like a string bean close gets bullied backed down a lot. - Yet last night he gives us 11 pts - - 6 rebounds - - 3 assists - -1 turnover - - 2 steals - -and ONE HUGE BLOCK - - THAT from a 6 ft point is a pretty solid line I don't care who you are - -Hit that HUGE 3 late if he doesn't do that then were bacon again to those guys - -APPRECIATE YOU JUAN.
