Well, as of this point according what Matt Norlander put out Things aren't going good for Yormork at the present.---Right now hearing SIX Schools are in favor - - -TWO are against voting them in -- and then multiple Schools are skeptical.
Brett has a lot of work to do to sway SIX more Schools to be in favor, -Although this wasn't an official vote - - this is just wats being heard as of right now, I don't think he pulls SIX more schools in his favor
Yormork is in meetings today I heard to sell the financial advantages of adding U Conn -- and the other benefits it would create ,getting new marketing, -- getting into the NY/NE market - -the revenue that U Conn men's & Womens Basketball creates.
Might be a vote taken some time this week, could take place tomorrow - -going to be interesting needs 12 votes to pass
@nuleafjhawk said in I got our laugh of the Season about KU football- it's out there.:
@jayballer67 Piss on K-State. They're ranked higher because we've sucked for a few hundred years. Our overall record (history) is 547 - 656 - 54 and theirs is 511 - 624 - 34. So, virtually identical. We are on the upswing. We beat K-State by 17.
We very ell could win by that------then again we could lose by that also. -Personally I think it will be decided by single one way or the other

I have said I think we could go 11-1 --losing to KSU - - -WV going to be tough but I still like our chances-- I think 10-2 is vety probable with our schedule sitting up.-- Of course it all depends Jalen staying healthy.
@stoptheflop said in Need to be proud of our Boy:
Jason Bean has survived the first cut by the Colts. BYU QB Slovis was cut. I have my fingers crossed that Jason sticks with the Colts, probably on the practice squad. But, the Colts still have Anthony Richardson, Joe Flacco and Sam Ehlinger ahead of Jas
If Jason can gut it out might be able to land somewhere he at least has a punchers chance , fingers crossed
@dylans said in The Yankees:
@jayballer67 Saw the back-back-back homeruns - is right field short? Center is 408, pretty average. I see where the stadium is rated the 4th most home run friendly in the bigs.
Right field is pretty short ,can't remember the distance, lot of fly ball home runs, still Judge hitting those to opposite field , seen quite a few from hin 440 , 458 ft, 420 plus, but ye right field is cheap , unless you clear the ball pen bud, those are legit
Well Exhibition -- done , The Ladies beat Drake in sets -- ya four sets , don't know why it was a sweep --aanyways goo job Ladies. Next up- - South Carolina the Season starts or real--- let's do this---- ROCK CHALK
I was just listening to Micheal Swain , he was doing a small podcast about the preview and talking about how things have changes for KU . & being able to see it in the betting lines. ---KU opened up he said by Fan Dual KU opened up as a 43 1/2 point favorite.
He said it would be interesting to see what happens during the week. -In comparison last yr, can't remember who it was but we open as a 32 1/2 favorite - --the over/under is 58- -making the score like 51-7 - -yippee let the Season begin
There are a lot of times I will use the Goggle app to see MLB Baseball scores. I will use the search, by using the Mic and ask for MLB Baseball .scores.
It brings them up , the first cat that comes up is ESPN. -- then it goes and says MLB on ESPN - Scores , Stats and Highlights.
Then there is your next cat and it says ESPN , MLB Scores, 2024 Season.
I use this Goggle app a lot to find scores, I use it a lot too because they have lot's of KU articles - -and it had other sports too, so you might try it that way, cause I get every teams scores and highlights
Just go to the Goggle site and speak into the mic and ask for ESPN MLB scores should work for you
Hey approinfinity figures it would be a nice moment for me to post in my thread ( Yankees ) - was checking Yankees score and it was 4-3 NY in the 7th.-- Turned my head for a second , looked back and it was 7-3 Yankees in the 7th. Thought dang someone had to homer figured was a 3 run homer-- but noooo lol,
In the 7th Juan Soto hit a home run with no on & one out his 57th career high - -then Judge comes up and hits another home run his second of the day his 51st & 52 home runs and 122 RBI's ---with none on & one out then Stanton comes up and hits a home run his 223rd with none on & one out-- --- JUMPIN GEE HOSIE TOADS , THEY WENT bACK --TO bACK- - -TO bACK YASAA YASAA LMAO
Followed more on the U Conn coming to the Bg 12 , watched several , material today - -Some Brett McMurphy , Some Ross Dellinger Some Pete Thummel and thought would list some reasons why they probably come - -why they got voted in podcasts, heard some , rasons why Big twelve would vote them in, things are more favorable then some time back.
First, Probably the biggest thing in this which makes it a lean for coming- - - -- -- - Danny Hurly is not opposed to U Conn joing the Big 21/ Like they said id Hurly didn't like it, then it would be end of storyU Conn would be coming in with not full share right now-----their football wouldn't start till 2031 show wouldn't take away from existing sixteen teams , ESPN has mentioned very well could add more money to BIG 1 if U Conn joins---ESPN would love U Conn in the Big 12 , The brand coming with U Conn Men's & Womens Basketball ,, The Market new Market Ny/NE Huge market. Being able to create true rivals-- U Conn / Wv - -Pitt / WV, --and even though we are considered the best in Basketball adding U Conn would leave NO DOUBT that's a few. Yormork meeting with Big 12 Presidents this coming week.

@rcjhdraft said in 2025 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 Yea seems like we got a lot of options right now. Didn't even mention Greer or haralson who are both visiting
Think we aer out for Haralson - -looks like could be Kentucky
@rcjhdraft said in 2025 Recruiting:
SWA DP and bundalo and we're cooking
Bryson Tiler would be nice also. As been mentioned if we are going to try and bring in 8-9 players those four would be great
@approxinfinity said in UConn to B12?:
Ya sounds pretty much like a done deal.- - Ross Dellinger , Pete Thammel ,- -Brett McMurphy , and many many others reporting.---U Conn would be in by 2026, the Basketball -- Football would not be till2031 when the Big twelve's next TV contract. - Brett wants that NY/NE Market -- it's all about brand viewership plays a role but not like in the past , it's more about Market now.
ESPN has said in the past it was said they would pay more to the Big Twelve to help lure U Conn to the big twelve. The addition of U Conn would not reduce the existing Big Twelve members part of the Pir.-- U Conn would have to meet expectations /upgrade their football program by 2031.
Again Brett is pressing to make Basketball totally separate Football in 2031 each havin their own deals. - -He feels that Basketball is gonna grow big/fast
According to sources by Big Twelve administrators said they met with U Conn earlier, Seriou discussions League will meet next week in Dallas for discussions- -it will take 12/16 to vote yes to be approved but think it will happening to many pro's over con's - -They made very clear that this is not a back up plan about the AC- -This is what Brett wants bad.
A thing too is again U Conn benefit would be Big twelve reaping the benefit of U Conn brand of Men's and U Conn Woen & Mens Basketball for multiple years before their football program joined in 2031.
like it or not Truly believe they are coming get ready.- for got to add , if This passes U Conn will b coming in with a less then full share of revenue
@mayjay said in Giving some props to our Ladies:
@jayballer67 Thank you for the vb updates for the past few years. Keep it up! Much appreciated by us Kansas refugees stuck in the Confederacy!
No problem my friend. I've really got interested in Women's Volley these past few years , I think I really got really interested when the Ladies played Nebraska of all teams in Lincoln when if we could of pulled it out we would of advanced to the finl four.
I'll ell you this ( mercy ) they can flat hit the ball--- holy cow lol Just love it, got to love the blocks - -the digs- -love it.-- - I think our Ladies got a great shot for a HUGE Season. They opened with an exhibition today against Drake but not sure how they did yet.-- - Regular Season starts a week from today - -think it's against South Carolina. I'll try to keep you informed. -- -ROCK CHALK
@mayjay said in Need to be proud of our Boy:
@jayballer67 He got a shoulder injury last night. Don't know how serious.
Great. That's not good , Players that are fighting for a possible roster spot can't afford any injuries - -dang gone it, things like that usually are the kiss of death. -- Can only hope, fingers crossed.
finding out today that Sebastian's mom lives in Wichita , & Sebastian considers the Sum Flower State his State , & talked about how he loved the environment at KU- - Zagsblog said that KU was in a really god spot with Sebastian , Sounds good to me-- Also hearing w are in good shape with Tiller was said they think it's down between Indiana and KU for Tillee
Our Ladies Volleyball team picked to Win the Big twelve this year. After going 24-6 last Season & 14-4 in Conference good for 2nd--Texas is gone and KU should take over. Have made I think they said three straight now NCAA appearances and we are loaded this year coming back.
KU is ranked thirteenth in the initial poll in the Nation this year- - e have the pre Season Freshman player of the year (Burgess )- -4 time State Champion and 6 A -MVP on the squad - -lot of experience back . -We have three pre Season All Big twelve picks-- --Elnady - -Turner - -& Davis -think it's going to be a HUGE SEASON for the Ladies- plus Bien is also back, pretty da good line up-- time to pull for the Ladies---let's do this
@stoptheflop said in Need to be proud of our Boy:
Jason Bean is finally in the game and has driven the ball from inside the 10 to the 5 yd line. Looks way better than Ehlinger. Better than Richardson too.
I think he actually makes a roster some where-- -wishing the best of luck
@wissox said in Giving up the Sox:
@jayballer67 There's a lot of people saying Witt is going to give Judge a run for MVP. He's carrying that team to a possible playoff berth, a team not swimming in MLB aided and abetted privilege, but a team doing it with scouting and player development and savvy.
Here's the thing. I start a thread because my team is in the midst of a historically bad season and you hijack the thread and make it about everyones least favorite team.
Wrong -surprise -- once again I'm just right there like any other TRUE fan of their team , you think I'm just gonna sit back and let you continually talk all your crap on MY team- guess what I'm gonna be the Pope tomorrow too.. - -I'm not putting a gun to anyone's head and doing anything. YOUR TEAM is doing that all by themselves
I haven't talked smack on any other team I acknowledged that Witt is a good player -Judge good-?- - ummm no , but good. KC is finally got a decent team again this year. - -I'm sorry I didn't realize the header on this said - -Wissox Post's my bad --I was wanting to comment and I did comment under MLB--which I thought -- I thought-- I thought- - -Maybe- - -just maybe Meant people could talk about any player--any team again my bad I'll be sure and check ahead of time , next time ok ? - one thing i can't stand is a hi jacker lol - -but please try and be a little grown up and quit taking your personal jabs on a team/ player because the guy is really good and re-writing Base ball history every time you turn around. Now I'm done and moving on- --but I'm sure you need that last word so go ahead and I'll wait but I'm done and moving on -- no time to get into childish squabble and you have a great day
@dylans from my understanding a big part of them going or raising the limit to 15 was all part of the house settlement
@dylans said in I got our laugh of the Season about KU football- it's out there.:
Easy schedule is in KU’s favor. Hope they capitalize
As you know a lot rides with Jalen staying healthy for the year, BUT to say we will finish in the bottom and so over rated and the other things mentioned id insane - -Leave it to an Arizona person
So-- --here I am scrolling through podcasts and ran across the Arizona podcast- -WOW.
On tonight's Podcast , these two guys wee listing the top ten players that each thought were in the Big twelve -- - Ok , no problems there then one of these clowns shows well call it whatever you - I call it ummm stupid to voice it PG , so they had the Surprises of the Season & dissepiments' of the Season- Soo one say - - - -Ae you ready
He says KU is the most over rated, doesn't think Jalon Daniels is any good - -doesn't think Dein Neal is any good , thinks they are BOTH over rated -- Thinks Lance is one of the most over rated Coach's - -that KU always is garbage -always will be garbage and at the end of the Season that KU will be returned to the bottom where they always have been and always will be - -saying they wil be in the Bottom six-
There you Go Arizona Podcast says KU isn'e squat --except over rated- -therre is the laugh not of just the Month , but the laugh of the year- -Are you Serios lol -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@wissox said in Giving up the Sox:
Haven't visited my thread in a minute, why the heck we talking about Judge in two different threads? He's not the best player by far hands down. Not sure he's any better than Bobby Witt right now.
lol your so funny I like that, humor --no comparison they just gae another stat on Judge today he is the first Man in the history of MLB over a 98 game stretch hitting 373 - -with no 48 home runs and 114 RBI's, to make that kind of statement you might want to stick with your White Sox
Come on geez when they keep throwing out all these facts that he has accomplished as the fastest player,- -doing more then Ruth & Mantle and your comparing him with Witt ? come now -Don't hate the player, right now in this time Aaron Judge is right on top -not hard to figure that out. - -You don't hear me talking crap on Witt but you saying Judge is no better then Witt , mercy let me have some of what your drinking cause that's just laughable He is on Pace to hit 61 HT's & - -149 RBI'S -149 -- that's just insane Oh almost forgot -Aaron ha hit ony about half of his league leading forty eight home runs at home and not al of those wee ovr the cheapie fence fang it lol.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2025 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 plenty. Moore, Dickinson, Harris, Adams, Mayo, and Coit will all be out of eligibility. Storr likely pro. Plus, the limit will go to 15 (13 now). We'll finish the penalty so we'll be able to use 14. So we have only a handful of returnees. My guess, we add 9-10?
Mercy I'm sur w will be really active in the portal again , 3 possibly 4 high school , going to look different again for sure if it turns out to be the case
Doesn't hurt that him and Peterson are going to be team mates for sure. If we land these two- - -woul be sweet and possibly William -- very sweet
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2025 Recruiting:
Sure seems like a 2 big class
How many Scholi's we gonna have you know bud ?
@BeddieKU23 said in 2025 Recruiting:
Had some interesting stuff to say about KU showing a lot of interest. Would imagine if he visits this fall that we might have some momentum there but just spitballing some optimism at this point
you know, I heard it mentioned can't even remember be a bit ago but some analyst's was saying that and I reckon saying this off possibilities but he was saying Ku could end up having the # 1 recruiting class in 25.
Now I don't think have any commits yet right ? - -So I'm guess projection about guys we re pretty involved with. maybe -- Peterson - - -Sebastian - if hey perhaps land this Bundalo would go a long ways towards that. Were in on some good ones, not sure how many Scholi's we are going to have, do you know ? - -Glad to see we are getting a visit from the kid, nice size
@MR11 said in 2025 Recruiting:
Would likely have Flory and him for 2025 then. Would love this just as it means getting back to Bill's early years where he had a few years to coach up the bigs instead of the years with Cliff/Cheick where we see flashes, but not consistency.
I personally have no idea if we have any shot at this kid or not BUT is nice to know that he did after , boy him and Peterson would make a good duo cutting hist he added us on and is scheduling a visit , nice to know that the staff made a good enough impression that he is going to visit
Well interesting , Eric Bossi just posted about 35 minutes ago that Nicko Bundalo--- has added KU to his list of Schools , top 25 Big Man 6'11, he had cut his list and listed U Conn , UK , Mich St , N C , Ohio St , & Texas before he included Ku
when talking with Bossi he said he hadn't had the chance to talk to KU over the summer but has now added because he hadn't realized how much they were interested in me, and how well I would fit in their style.- -He has now had that chance to talk with the staff.
He hsa locked in his visits- - U Conn , Michigan St , NC , Ohio St , finalizing a visit with UK - -and sitting up his visit with KU ,, one interesting note he is transferring schools and will be team mates with Daryn Peterson , said he has played against Daryn and thought would be cool to be the dynamic dual- - if that happened would bode ell for KU , now not saying he lands herre but had good things to say about KU - --we will see
Bet we get to see some of our stud freshmen get snaps in game one. Anxious to see our RB Stewart guy is a horse, quoted people saying legs big as thighs and thighs big as waists just huge, another maybe better then HiShaw
Wanna see our FR outside edge boys Warner/ Brinkley going to be hard to keep them out of quality playing time with# 1 defense team, think people are in for a pleasant surprise with these two
I think from what I've heard/ read on different articles , watched several pod casts , so called experts analysts, watched game film/tape and say I would say Marshal will end up being our QB.
Just a Daniels 2.0 there are many that can't give this ki enough praise good solid arm , can run dual threat, think he won MVP in the title game he played highest class when you look at who was recruiting him --- big get for the Hawks. think he will be just fine. - -Coach L going to have a task net season , we may take a step back with what w are losing- -our top receiving core - -starting Qb--- -starting RB-- not only starting Qb , RB-- our 2 best CB'S-- Coach L going to really have work cut out for him next Season. I think w have 30 SR'S we losing- -yet I think he gets it done.
@dylans said in No matter what team you pull for:
@mayjay I’m thankful for the white Sox for that very reason. Also glad the Royals (or mostly Bobby Witt) were able to take care of business.
WITT is having a really good year
Down to TWELVE DAYS my friends -- - - - -on you mark ,
@mayjay said in No matter what team you pull for:
@dylans I read an interesting article highlighting why the AL Central is doing so well. Twins and Royals are way over .500 against CWS, although the Guardians are around .500. They get to play against Chicago many more times than other divisions. Which requires this:
"It's unfair!" the other teams cry. "Darn those Sox!"
White Sox are just really bad - -just sad bad -they could end up over 50 games out- - geez
@stoptheflop said in Seventeen Days - - - GO TIME:
Jason Bean is getting a decent amount of PT for the Colts; 7/9, 94 yds yesterday. Jason should get a lot of reps in Indy's final Exh game against the Bengals on Thurs. 7PM, but the Chiefs also play Thurs. at 7:20 for anyone willing to watch the unknown QBs the Chiefs will play. I also saw Kwamie Lassiter and Khalil Herbert in the Bears/Bengals game. So fun to see former Jayhawks in the NFL.
I'm pullin for Jason sooo bad- -hope he can make the regular roster - --not practice squad - -w need to do the Rok Chalk Chant for our boy lol

I'm just flapping my lips. Nothing against you or anyone else. The only baseball I've watched in the last 20 years was whenever the Royals were in the world series.
I wouldn't know Judge if he knocked on my door selling girl scout cookies.
But I'm still not a Yankees fan.
Lmao , you crazy nut. I think you might know himif he came- -he a big boy, and hell noting wrong with you not being a Yankees fan what fun would that be if everyone liked the same team lol it's fine. I just grew up being one am use to ALL Yankee haters
Thing is that's crazy is they have lots of money from being in a Big Market. It's not the players fault NY is a big market right ?mThat results in a lot of Money- - you have a lot of Money what do you do? -you sure the hell don't sit on i when you in the sporting industry -where does that ge you ? just like Foot blll- -Basketball - -you got the money your going to invest that money to help you win - -so like they say - -Don't hat e the players - - hate the game. Answer me this people don't think IF these teams that are small market , they don't think they wouldn't do the same dam thing if hey had the money?- - you and I both know they would if you think different then I'll tell you I'm going to become the Pope tomorrow too lol- --your perfectly fine my friend
@approxinfinity said in Seventeen Days - - - GO TIME:
Forgot that we would playing against Sanders w Colorado coming back. Should be fun.
Sander is really making an ass out of himself, watching a podcast where he is refusing questions from CBs cause they voted him like the 13th wors Coach in the Big 12. -also with the controversy going on from former players things happening in te locker room and such --
Last yr was a total bust - their O-Line flat sucked , the QB was runnin for his life most of the time , sacked 57 times, He can't blame that on anyone but himself. Last yr being his first yr he went in and booted like 60 players off or they left on their own because of him.- --He brought in all the portal so that's on him for not getting the right O-line players , he had just about as much turnover this off Season.
The talk is he is leaving when his Son leaves , so he is not there long. - -I mean people say he is good for the big 12 because of his name - -but his Coaching style is unbelievable. I think he is in real trouble this year, most experts pick them like 11th or lower with maybe 4 wins -- we shall see
@nuleafjhawk said in No matter what team you pull for:
If he's a Yankee, he's a turd. I'll be the Judge of that.
when I had my response to you did i say when talking people did I say I was referring to ummm YOU ?-but yet another cheap home run last night not alot of distance just 437 foot in Detroit. - - The guy can bury the ball ANYWHRE no park can hold him-- -even dinky riht field at Yankee Stadium which he had them build just for him roflmfao
@wissox said in No matter what team you pull for:
Judge has a little league distance right field in Yankee Stadium. He's amazing but there needs to be an asterisk next to his name.
most of his home runs that he haas hit DID NOT come the short right field -- he has hit many , many , many 425 ft 457 ft, well over 400 ft - -the man is a stud and yeet people try to detract - -jealously maybe ? because he is not o the team they pull for--he has done things other then hit cheap home runs the man hasa a 330 Ba hits for average- -hits for power --drives in runs -exellent Center fielder - -mercy I don't know about some people
Aaron Judge fastest player to hit 300 hr in his Career --- I think they said 132 games faster?- - guys is incredible has a 330 Ba - -43 home runs and 110 rbi's incredible
