Baylor in trouble down 7

ISU Game Thread • Jan 12, 2022 01:35 AM

@BShark said in ISU Game Thread:

Tech hanging with Baylor. This ISU team was right there with Baylor too. No easy games in league play.

52 - - -51 Baylor with like 7:05. Tech's defense makes you work really hard - -really hard

ISU Game Thread • Jan 12, 2022 12:38 AM

One thing about KJ starting tonight , he can't do any worse anyways offensively cause we have been getting next to nothing. Might bring better energy , just never know

Non-KU Games • Jan 12, 2022 12:33 AM

Uh Ok - -a Texas Tech siting. -from 15 to 5

Why do you think the IARP is the one seeking a new process? Seems like KU initiated? @FarmerJayhawk

they did

Ky will be in the house tonight. Also Phelps moved up his visit to tomorrow. Visiting Va Tech this weekend now. Boo.

I thought KY was this weekend, but anyways good we got him in. - -Stil think though if K/state offers probably going to be hard to get him to come, think they was in on him pretty good before wasn't they ?

Also transfers - - Morrison - -Kalon Gervin - -& Nolan Gorczyca all on campus so probably be at the game tonight also

Unofficial tonight, official this weekend. Good to get everyone in. On KSU, I think enough time has passed where that looks pretty unlikely

oh, K-State still hasn't offered buddy ? - -maybe they already know KU in solid possibly. - - I think that bodes well if he is coming for an un-official and then coming back this weekend for an offical - you would think that has to be good right ? - Ya your right I'm glad these guys n campus

Not yet! That could be. I really think KU is in the driver’s seat.

would give us some really good backs

According to Jessee Newell it was KU was the one that wanted different. and was Backed by the Big 12 Commissioner , some thought maybe KU going this route to reach a settlement where punishment might be less severe, - -BUT also might be the other way too - - who knows. - let's just get this over.

Like they said the longer this thing drags out it STILL has a effect on our recruiting

just heard our local sports talking with Jessee Newell about this latest IARP update asking him to try and clear things up like if things were leaning more towards KU walking clean nothing to worry about really and he responded NO - actually he had been hearing lately things were not looking good for KU. - -He was saying for people thinking KU was gona be fine and not to worry , he said that' not what he had been hearing from people at all - - so I dunno

Jayhawks in the pros • Jan 11, 2022 09:18 PM

@wissox said in Jayhawks in the pros:

Joel keeps chugging along, another 30 point effort. 13-13 FT's. I don't know enough about all the big guys in the league but he's got to be one of the better FT shooters out there among them. Oubre might be out hopefully just Covid, but he didn't play. Grimes had a nice game with 7 points and 6 assists.

jO jO is an Animal. Just needs someone else to help a he can't do it by himself

Here in Topeka in Shawnee Co we have 5 Walmart's. - -all FIVE Walmart's have reported they have employees with COVID. One of the five has 51 employees that tested positive, I'm just being a hermit/homebody - not really out a lot on top of that I'm down again anyways . another pending surgery, gonna be awhile though because all of the Hospitals postponing surgeries unless life threating because of ICU beds and other being full and COVID cases and shortages of personnel.

I'm almost in mobile.- -I have 2 bulging discs and pinching cyatic nerve, cause huge problems. This is going to be my FORTH back surgery previous have been on my lower L-4 - - L-5 , they have inserted a spacer on my left side and have titanium screws in my back and fused . - -now they are going to put a spacer on my right side and more fusion & more screws- -this time on my L-1 L-2 - -awaiting approval of insurance on my MRI on spine , they wanting to do another MRI on upper spine to make sure they not missing anything and checking nerves - then have to wait approval from insurance on Surgery it'self - - lots of hurt at present hard to move. Got to steer clear of groups incase on Contact tracing.

Gonna see how serious the fans are in the mandate of mask wearing at the KU game at the phog. - -If not then like they said were headed to limiting capicity - -AGAIN --let's not go there, don't have that I don't give a dam I'm NOT WEARING a mask. just wear the dam thing -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

My father just tested positive again. 2nd time getting it. Both times he was recently vaccinated or boosted. This time he is asymptomatic. Went to get tested today as I had contact but testing was closed due to it being negative degree weather here. Can't get a test until tomorrow hopefully. If any of us have it we are also asymptomatic at this point. What a mess

oh man, mercy. Sure hope all turns out ok for all of you. - -Just goes to show there are SOME people not you I'm not saying that but some seem to think - - -well I've been vaccinated so I'm good can't touch me - -that's such a mis conception. My next door neighbor has gotten the Covid twice also. so to think just because you got vaccinated or bostered that you above the Covid - umm wrong. - -take care my friend and hoping the best for all

Bill Self "growth stunter" • Jan 10, 2022 08:51 PM

@Kcmatt7 said in Bill Self "growth stunter":

I think they need Bobby back in a bad way because Self trusts Bobby. And that gives them the depth to press more and shorten the shot clock. Which is desperately needed with our poor interior defense.

we have an interior defense ? lol

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Anybody else see that Charges /Raiders game ?:

2 good qb's!

yes they are very solid

Anyone else happen to catch this game , especially the ending ? -holy cow , that game was just insane. Chargers and Herbert down late and I mean like just a little over or right at two minutes, Herbert facing 2 & ten - - 3rd & ten - multiple 4th & ten and just kept coming through - - Clutch- -that last drive to force over time ws like they said like a 20 play - -ya 20 plays over like 75 yards and like scored with like what 3 seconds to go not quite sure but the TD came on the last play of regulation - -still down two - - and I'll be darn if they didn't get the two point conversion - - making it I believe 29-29.

The announcers kept saying this is nuts it was like 4 or 5 forth and 10's Herbert converted. Every time he pulled it off I just had to sit back and say this is insane/nuts - -then they take turns with FG'S and then Carrdrives Las Vegas down the field and they pull if out unbelievable game

@approxinfinity said in Red Raiders:

@jayballer67 seems like Landen and Dave are almost identical tbh

not really sure about that. Landen was more consistent, you could almost always count on that 10-12 points a game and double digit rebounds - - Dave - - uhhh not so much

Red Raiders • Jan 10, 2022 03:33 PM

@BeddieKU23 said in Red Raiders:

@jayballer67

Not calling a foul on the And-1 dunk by Braun and the missed foul on Harris stealing the ball that went out of bounds, that was 3 points potentially taken away in the last few minutes. My gripe with these two plays is that similar plays by Tech were rewarded with FT's. The Harris one just baffles me and I've watched the replay of that play 3 times now. This wasn't a fairly called game at the end. However if KU had played better perhaps it could have overcome poor officiating at key moments

Just really bad calls - -missed calls , no calls. I've always heard , been told and even agreed with . still do for the most part and that is a bad call by the officials did not cost us this game - -yes that's true , BUT multiple poor calls, YES that could very easily cost a game -just really bad calls

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Paul Rudd:

Paul Rudd
2 Paul Rudd
Rudd was born in Passiac, N.J., but was raised in Overland Park, Kan., which explains why his allegiance to the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs in addition to being an avid Jayhawk supporter. The 40-Year-Old Virgin actor enrolled at Kansas in the late '80s and joined the Sigma Nu fraternity. In the Kansas community, Rudd is best known for inviting Royals fans to a keg party at his mom's house after they clinched the AL pennant in the 2014. He also became notorious for his wild hairdo while attending KU when photos surfaced of his overflowing mane. After attending KU, Rudd went to acting school in Oxford, U.K., and made his debut shortly thereafter. A decade into his acting career, he began appearing in episodes of the beloved sitcom Friends, which helped him land his breakout role in the 2004 comedy Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.

Oh cool , thank you for that information I had no idea - yet I watched the 40 year old virgin pretty cool movie and I was a big time follower of Friends. - Could you tell me what role he played in Friends. Huge fan of Jennifer Anniston thank you for the info - -that's pretty cool

one of the replies on this tweet siad McCormack and then pointed to Landen Lucas , I was thinking about Lucas I would love to have Landen on this team almost a sure fire double double always 10 , 12 , points a game a could always count on 10 or more rebounds - makes Dave look like a clown. /He wasn't great but at least he had a legit shot and rebounder

One last thing the officiating was the worst I've seen this yr.

that was the worst I've seen in some time, a couple of the charges were legit charges but not just the charging calls just a lot of BS calls or non calls sick of it. I know I shouldn't say that being a former offical myself but dam

Signing Day • Jan 09, 2022 05:26 PM

I just want some legit athletic 5 help next yr. A defender of the rim and somebody that can pose a threat to score the dam ball. I'm so tired of a 5 that catches the ball stands there and thinks about what his next move is bounce it on the floor once and by then is getting double or even triple teamed and ultimely fat ass turnover so dam mechanical. Is that to much to ask ? - I want a leader , I want an Alpha dog somebody that wants to an can step up and take over when needed.

I want guys that show emotion , flare attitude kind of like Choclate Thunder did - -other then Braun once in awhile. - - Oachi doesn't show any if ever MCcormack doesn't of course he usually has no reason to. - -show some dam passion let the other team know they have no business being on the flor with us intimidation with our aggressiveness - - -not much to ask for damm

@kuballin10 said in Bill Self "growth stunter":

@approxinfinity win percentage is nice but only one thing matters....titles
He no doubt wins regular season stuff but same titles as Scott Drew and about to be passed in the next 2-3 years I’d say. Wright, Roy, K....ect. It’s the reason Cal isn’t that great X’s and O’s But he gives his kids long leashes. Lose some in the regular season but be better prepared for the tourney which is more important.

One is improving the other is going backwards (Drew vs self).

Pride is a killer.

I am not totally discounting what you say. I thought that Tristan should have had more playing time, ditto now Adams and Clemence. But am not on board with Self being replaced. Am on board with him being not so loyal to certain players while they are not producing, and making lineup changes when and if necessary.

can't agree with Adams & Clemence - -Adams is way to offensive challenged at this point to play extended minutes in Big 1 play & Clemence get tossed aside like a rag doll at this point and also is ANOTHER defensive liability , just not ready

Red Raiders • Jan 09, 2022 12:32 AM

We just look out of kelter , no other way to say other then our defense is just terrible. - not sure what the kenpom rankings defensively where we stand but I know were dead last in the big 12 and it showed. Beat time and time and time again in the lane. It hurts we have no inside presence defensively -well we have no inside presence offensively either.

We just look choppy on offense no flow none of smooth flow just out of sync , forced shots , bad shots , missed shots -baad rebounding getting beat today by like 10 I believe mercy got to clean things up and soon

Bad officiating or not, KU didn't deserve to win today. 4 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists combined from the 5 spot today with zero production from Mitch.

Also why did Remy only play 12 minutes today? Injury or something else?

Remy still hurt some but not his best game either when he was in
