@Crimsonorblue22 said in I don't know guys , would playing WSU really be that bad ?:

We need a strong preseason schedule not them. Plus our fans bring money to their school. They have zero support.

WSU would be a stronger non con for sure over some of these cupcakes we scheduled this season. - - Let me ask do we think we benefit more from playing teams like Tarrleton - or some of these other petty little schools or other quality teams and yes WSU is a quality team. Not saying a powerhouse team but more quality.

Does a game against WSU help develop improve a players skills or does some of these little schools - do we want a take for granted W a 2- plus win game or a game that is going to challenge the guys and be more beneficial in tight games later in the Season - -just makes sense , the only way this comes across is that it makes us look scared. I know the players aren't but what about the fans ?

Well here is another Match on a Ranked team's home floor. - Ladies going to have to come out focused and play 1 set at a time & 1 point at a time. We knocked off Creighton on their home floor, maybe there were some teams over looking the ladies that opening weekend - -that won't be the case now - -tighten up and do what you do ladies. - -One thing that happened Oregon and Creighton neither team went on long scoring runs and seemed like KU managed to play from in front most the wekend. - -keep it up Ladies & good luck.

@wissox said in I don't know guys , would playing WSU really be that bad ?:

@Crimsonorblue22 I agree they've regressed badly. I still want to play them. It's a rivalry. They were always my favorite games on the schedule.

should play , makes us look like we are scared to play them. If not then play put them back in the pecking order where they need to be. - - Always good games

Dam saw where Parker is entering the portal - thought he was starting to hit his stride 4 * hate to see that myself

Nikki Taylor decommitted. I think it’s mutual. With the lack of spots available I doubt they take a WR

well Dam we WANT commits - -no de- commits lol. - -how big of a loss is this for us ? - -Still hearing more smoke on Prunty - -anything new Farmer ?

Not big at all. We already have a ton of receivers and need the spots for other positions.

Nada on Prunty. That one might take awhile to sort out.

Thanks buddy , so tell me was this a High School recruit ?

Yessir.

With only about 10 days until signing day I expect the rest of the HS commits to sign plus a couple JuCos. Going to be a really, really slow day.

e don't have a lot of numbers available anyways do we ?

@wissox said in I don't know guys , would playing WSU really be that bad ?:

I like playing Missouri and wouldn't mind Wichita at all.

I agree I wouldn't mind it would add some even more dis like to this team - like has been said before teams making revenue with games like this anyways - -why not keep it in State revenue ?

@wissox said in University of Texas El Paso Miners - Tuesday - 7pm - ESPN+:

The famous team that wouldn't have happened because they called JoJo out of of bounds when he wasn't. Still glad it happened because they beat Kentucky, but I'd rather us having had the chance to beat Kentucky.

Now I didn't see that game on TV , but I STILL remember listening to the game sitting at our Kitchen Table and the Whole Jo Jo out of bounds thing - -I was SOOOO mad at that call Jo Jo nailed that shot too right ?

Seen a really great piece on Senator Dole & his wife & their marriage off CBS news this morning. Today would of been the 48th yr I believe they said Wedding Anniversary awesome , talking about how they met , her Career , NOW she said in all the time they were together they NEVER really had a really heated yelling agrument but overall just really interesting piece, and got to see a little of his humor during the interview

@mayjay said in RIP Senator Dole , sad to hear:

@jayballer67 Total loss of use of his right arm from the shrapnel wound suffered in Italy. Spent 3 years in hospitals recovering.

Dole carried a pen in his right hand to keep his fingers from splaying out, and to remind people to shake left-handed. He also never was able after the wound to cut a steak, tie his shoes or ties, or do anything requiring two arms. Amazing fortitude and resiliency.

oh mercy I knew he had a pretty bad injury but had no idea that bad

@Crimsonorblue22 said in RIP Senator Dole , sad to hear:

@nwhawkfan I saw his sense of humor more after his presidential run. It was on Johnny Carson, and other late night shows. I think if more voters saw that side of him he would've had a better chance. He was a lil dry before. He was definitely more popular!

Did he have a stroke at some point ? - is that what was wrong with his right side or was it from the injury in the war ?

From the war. He actually wore inserts under his suit to make his upper arm look normal.

oh ok - so the arm was really baad then ? - -heard today something to that extent, me personally gonna miss the guy, didn't know him personally but me -- kinda liked the guy

@nwhawkfan said in NCAA Volleyball Tournament:

Time set for Thursday's Sweet Sixteen matchup against third-seeded Pittsburgh.

Thursday at Noon (Central) on ESPN +

I actually figured Penn State would beat them. - Where they playing this at do you know ?

@nwhawkfan said in RIP Senator Dole , sad to hear:

Agree on the Institute. First toured it just after the opening. Impressive.

When I was a kid he came to one of our church socials to press the flesh. Even though I rarely agreed with him politically, I appreciated the fact that he was able to at least listen to the other side. Also liked his sense of humor. We need more like him on both sides of the aisle.

he really did have a great sense of humor

K-State 4-21 shooting in the 2nd half - -just torrid shooting lol - - WSU 5-15 not much better , 44-43 with like 8 minutes to go

boy WSU throwing up some really bad shots - - long shots mercy. - -haven't scored in like 6 minutes in the 2nd half and still lead by 1 a lot of questionable shots by both teams

Just watching the KSU/WSU game tonight, actually kind of enjoying watching. Makes me wonder in a way why SHOULDN'T we play WSU ? - -I know a lot of fans don't want to see it and that's ok I understand but yet I think it could really turn into a sweet battle. We have no reason to not play these guys, I know we gain nothing recruiting anything like that but it would be great the fan battles , barbs.

KSU?WSU tonight is the first in 18 years they said - -would be a good in-state game - be kind of like Uk/Lousiville I dunno I would just kind of like to see them play - tired of hearing them saying how we are afraid of playing them - - Are w afraid ? - -I* wouldn't think so - -shouldn't be. I just think it would be better to play them in a classic Non Con instead of Tarrelton state Stonybrook or someone like that - -I could be wrong it's ok - just one persons view

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Non-KU Games:

@jayballer67 espnu

Thank you - - yes I found it kinda of enjoying actually

I know I will be in the huge minority here probably ad I understand that , and I do understands others positions on it - but I really do wish we would play Wichita State.

I know we really don't have anything to gain really but I think it would be fun have some interesting match ups and just play - makes us look like the aggorant big brother by not refusing to play, and I agree like maybe possibly a 3 game agreement even play them One at the phog - - one on a neutral and one at their place - -were good enough - -why not?

@approxinfinity said in Non-KU Games:

Wow Washington forfeited to UCLA bc of Covid today

ya I read the article on that today on Espn. - -It said if the two College's can't agree on a subistute day then the effected team has to forefit and the opposing team is credited with a win. - -It said overall it doesn't effect I guess deteriming for Torney

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Non-KU Games:

Anybody watching ksu wsu?

who is winning espn plus ?

The ladies beat Vandy today , strong 2nd half - -1st half not pretty trailing by 9 at the half - - - Final 74-67 - -but mercy there were some strange/bad calls it seemed on our Big 6'6 post player just very questionable , BUT we won - - NOW 7-1 on the Season , our only loss coming against # r0 ranked Tennessee , was competitive that game ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 said in RIP Senator Dole , sad to hear:

I met him at the state fair, he shook my hand. I remember he had a very dark green suit jacket on, very distinguished looking. I long for the days when members of Congress worked like senator Dole did, together for all of us!

ya he will be truly be missed - -I had no idea he was of that age - -ill for quite awhile though at least not suffering anymore passed in his sleep best way to go if you have to

@wissox Sorry but I had posted same thing a little earlier sorry - hadn't seen yours till now

@BShark said in RIP Senator Dole , sad to hear:

Not saying it will happen here, but really do not like to see people now taking their shots at him. He was a Republican, we know, doesn't mean he was evil.

https://dolearchives.ku.edu/hdtopics_ada ↗

Rest in peace.

just read former Senator Bob Dole passed this morning at the age of 98. - -passed away in his sleep, had stage 4 lung cancer discovered in Feb. - Had no idea that he was recruited to play Basketball for Coach Phog Allen - Player Basketball Football & Track I believe - sad to see - -GOD BLESS SIR.

Edited had no idea he was connected for 79 years with the Govt - - long history. Served in the 10th Mountain unit and was Lieutneant sorry know that's not spelt right, live a long filled life

Conflicting reports on OU'S next head Coach. - -Espn saying finalizing with Venables , then saw another article about it being Danny Lanning from Georgia, so not sure. Checked the OU board saw again both - anybody know ?

Dr. J. anyone? 🐦 View Tweet?s=20

Mercy - - -very sweet

@BShark said in Non-KU Games:

The same Alabama team that lost to Iona. There might not be one team far and above the rest this year.

@Crimsonorblue22 They have a top 10 guy coming off the bench at guard, must be nice.

Shackleford and Quinerly both had really good games. Holgrem no matter how good he is - -is going to be exposed/bullied in certain situations til he gets in the weight room. If Anyone I think Baylor once again can pose a serious that to the run

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Non-KU Games:

Zaga was 13-25 from the FT line.

Is Iowa St good?

Ugly game with Creighton. - with like 9 minutes to go in the 1st half it was like 11-9 Creighton 23-23 at the half

Iowa State in a ugly - -ugly game with Creighton

@nwhawkfan said in Non-KU Games:

Was wondering how the Zags would adapt to an unfamiliar court at Seattle's new arena. Not too well, as it tuns out.

Technically a neutral site though the crowd was mostly pro-Bulldogs.

Mostly ? lol

Gonzaga just got out played. - -Alabama looked pretty good tonight

Alabama just taking Gonzaga to the wood shed at the half up 16 . Shackleford with 20 for Alabama. - - Holgrem might be good but he HAS to bulk up - -skinny as a rail gonna get bullied around and has been

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Crazy Crazy game Baylor/ Okla St:

Wanted OSU to win so the B12 would probably get in the CFP assuming Georgia wins today.

ya me too just for one to many turnovers. Especially early

Okie st comes up about 1/2 foor short to win. no Big 12 team in the playoffs. - Baylor Big 12 Champs

@Crimsonorblue22 said in More conversation about Dave feel free:

Enough!

not happening, I have just of much right to voice a opinion as anyone else - He stops - -I stop. I'm not going to have some on rag on a player that I think is un-justified, again I'll say he is not NEARLY as much of the problem as he makes it out to be plain and simple - -so sorry but I'm going to respond period

@Marco said in More conversation about Dave feel free:

@jayballer67 stop, my god. When he does badly I say so. When he plays well I give him his props. He played well last night, and I said so. Needs to show up like that every game. Period.

bottom line get off his ass period, like I said before you got a dam hardon for him - you need to focus on the other screw ups on this team period like oh I dunno JALEN- you stop your vendetta against McCormick then ya I'll stop every time I turn around your on his ass - -back up some then we be good. One more time he IS not the problem on this team partly ? possibly. -but not your way your playing it out -it's ALL HIM - - - YOU STOP.

You wanna state things I have just as much right for rebuttal say what I feel - and I say get off his ass now end of story he is not near as bad as you make it, you have been on him from the opening tip STOP now were done
