we are shooting 21 % in the 2nd hlf. - -Oklahoma leading the league in 3 pt shooting defense - - - we in trouble boys - - big time trouble. Grady is a no show in this game and when he DOES shoot he throws up some bunk half hook bull shit - what the hell
this is total BS - -Amy Bonner needs to go referee a JR Game cause she sure isn't P-5 level
here comes Zuby
we can't make bunnies-- 0 - -10 no score in 2 minutes
if they don't make the shot we foul them
Now it's getting serious
oklahoma shooting 73 % in the 2nd half - - and 54 % for the game. - Here is an idea - - let's try to play some defense you think ?
@approxinfinity said in OU Game:
Did anyone know who minnesota fats is without looking it up?
ya professional pool player
can we just get rid of this little pesky knats please -- such an ugly game
Oklahoma has done a good job of taking our scorers out of the game in the 1st half. - If it wasn't for Juan , KJ- - & Zach where would we be ?
Good to see Zach have a little success - -we could use him for sure
OH CRAP - - - KENTUCKY - -- LOST AGAIN - - Run Calapari run for your life lmao
Strap it on guys
Gonna be tough - -but if we D - up like we can - - should I think we can cause OU real trouble on the defensive end. - -I do think OU will cover the spread , I'm thinking between - 6-- -9 more like it.
OU defends the 3 very well - - they gonna run clock like your in mud -gonna have to get quality shots & turn OU over. - -Let's hope we come out ready, good to be home
Got a question- -innocent enough just curios and looking for honest opinions. - - - The question is , do you think -- K/State got over ranked in the polls or not ? From unranked to ranked 11th. - -For me yes I do think they got ranked to high. -Do they deserve to be ranked ? - -Hell yes they do but not 11th. -- I was thinking more on the line of anywhere from 15 - - to 17th. - -So what do you think - -where do you feel they should be ranked ?
@drgnslayr said in Maybe #1:
We just proved we are #1 a few months ago.... I prefer being 2-4 ranked... still a #1 seed but a little less attention and targeted by other teams. A little.
Doesn't matter my friends if we are ranked # 1 or 21 - KU will always have a huge target on it for every other team - - Because we are KU , true blue blood , the School who is the Nations all time winningest program , doesn't matter what day of the week it is - - what time of a day it is - KU will always have that bulls eye . - As you know we can go to another teams place and they average a half filled arena or less and when KU comes to town that place is gonna be packed and jumpin - -that other team is gonna be so jacked - - their fans are gonna be so stoked -and they are gonna play a lot of times way over their heads. - - Why ? - because for some of these teams -KU IS their NCAA tourney game-- KU is their Game of the year- - It's KU - - it's Bill Self - - -so ya , we are gonna be targeted every time we step on the floor weather we ar # 1 - or what ever -just how it is when your KU
The reason we're not number 1? Because a "journalist" that covers Purdew ranked them number 1, and ranked us 7th. He also has a tweet pinned to his Twitter account that says "I tell my readers nothing but the Truth! ". And then he "lies" on the AP poll.
I don't care about being # 1 during the regular season , some fans die for that - - I'm just looking to be # 1 the last man standing at the end of the year when it REALLY COUNTS
@BShark said in Jayballer's place for Chief's complaints:
@jayballer67 I feel like he should retire.
oh I do to actually, he has lost speed, accuracy on his throws, PLUS truthfully I think he cashed in -he got his big payout and basically said meh - who cares this is my last year. - I think he knew this was gonna be his last
@BShark said in Jayballer's place for Chief's complaints:
Packers ^
Doesn't upset me that much. Even if they had one this week- - they were done last week. The Rodgers era is over , he has seen his last game as a Packer.
Had a very sub par year most INT'S for a Season in his career , a lot of badly thrown balls. - -just flat missing receivers - -underthrown balls - - over thrown balls .You can't blame it on the defense. They had started to play the way thy were projected in the beginnng as a top ranked defense
This is the Scenario I see playing out VERY EASILY for next year. Aaron will be traded - w all know or should know if you know anything , he is done at GB. - I can very easily see him going to the Raiders, - reunite with Adams - he grew up on the Coast - -was lots of talk about him going there earlier - -see him taking over for aCrr, -- Who knows Raiders benched Carr he could end up in GB maybe, Don't be surprised if you see Aaron in the Silver & Black next year.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 croots:
@jayballer67 yep, also got the LB. Both have 2 years left. Honestly I think Lovell (the OL) beats out Ford at guard. He’s a monster.
ya after I read your post I went to TOS and saw we got our LB JB Brown - - -from Bowling Green. - your right Spencer Lovell is huge - -6'6 335 pounds-- was a Starter for Cal before he got hurt. - -Big day for our Hawks recruiting wise

@drgnslayr said in West Virginia Game Saturday:
Game highlights for me -
I hope we are seeing a trend... Jayhawk grit on the road! This game was never in question, even in the second half when down to two possession lead. Why? Because we maintained excellent composure! When they fought back we hit big shots and had defensive stops to prevent them from huge runs.
5 guys in double-figures? Are you kidding me? We've got such an even attack now even with a volume shooter like JWil...
Speaking of JWil... his scrap, especially on the boards, needs to be recognized! Between him an Kevin we shouldn't lose many boards wars. This is becoming more dominant as the season progresses because this team is BUYING IN to Self ball!
This is a perfect year to have the Big 12 be as tough as it is. I have no problem if we drop some conference games... it should help us build a tougher team for March. Having a team that is starting to look like road warriors is a huge advantage come March. I just hope we hold serve in AFH!
This is becoming perhaps the most-satisfying team to watch under the Bill Self era! When we execute, it's a thing of beauty!
Gradey... what a weapon! We hang in games and then suddenly he pumps in a few treys and punches up our lead! Wow! And then another example where he followed his shot and rebounded! Who else does this in college basketball?
Bobby! Can't stress his contribution enough! 18 minutes produced 5 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists... He outright won a game for us early on this season and he'll win us more this year just by contributing throughout a game!
Pace of game? Does it matter anymore? We know we can run. We can also execute well in the half court!
I'm happy and I still see plenty of room for improvement between now and March!
the ONLY crutch we have and only hope but the ONE thing that could end up being our un doing in the NCAA'S - is and we seen evidence of it in our only loss-. - -Is Length and Big's We still have really no bench - e have to get more contribution /development from our bigs off the bench , this could very easily be our ending if we don't get something from Udeh or Zuby - - just got to. - - Otherwise somewhere in the tourney we are going to run into somebody that will just end up eating us alive inside - -only shortcoming I see
We all know that right now the K/State fans are going to be feeling a little Cocky , thumpin their chests , and that's ok they can do that , they have their minutes of glory.
Yet they might be just a little to Cocky. - -I read they think Nowell is the best point guard in the Nation. That to is ok , although I'm quite sure there would be and rightfully so people that would strongly disagree with that.
Yet I get and some others also do to - -I get the feeling that they feel they have reached the summit , that they are as good as anyone , and hate to say but I think they a re in for a rude awakening - - yes they are having a very good year .Yes they have come together as a team - -Tang has done a great job , yet just a little FYI hate to tell them - -they are not to the summit yet.
Just like their football team , thinking they was gonna play with Alabama - -sorry Alabama and teams like that are on a whole different level. Same goes for their basketball team - - your not there yet. There are some , quite a few K/State people that think they have now become a power - -just like football you will soon find out.
True your having a very good year - -BUT you have not reached elite or power level yet. - - Your on a year - -until you have proven that you can repeat this year after year , after year , after year - -your not a power , your not A KU - -A DUKE - -A KENTUCKY -A NORTH CAROLINA - - A GONGAZA to a lesser degree. - -Go ahead and beat your chest - - you entitled , you should be proud about THIS YEAR
iF I were you though - - until I've won multiple Conference Championships - -Until I've won multiple National titles - -Until I've have gone to the NCAA'S for many , many , many years straight - my advice to you - -choose your words wisely my friends - - careful of your actions my friends - -WHY ? - you ask WHY ? - -BECAUSE THE PHOG IS COMING AROUND THE CORNER
K/State gonna be redy fir us that's for sure. they are legit this year.- - You think of all the newcomers they have on this team how Tang has got them to all come together. TWO Studs- -Nowell & Johnson
Our Two studs Wilson & Dick. - -gonna be a very interesting match up Nowell and Juan - - - Wilson & Johnson . - be interesting how they handle Dick & McCullar - -just take care of business this week then worry aout those lil whatever name you wanna use lol
I'm ellin ya right here and now - -we are gonna have our hands full when we play these guys - at their house -whether you like it or not - -they have proved they are legit this year in this conference. - gonna have to buckle it up when we travel to the little hole in the road
Our Lady Jayhawks have a BIG game today too.- - They play Baylor today at 4. - -gonna watch some before the men play They got Baylor at the Phog
@BShark said in Other games:
Kentucky is bad.
Your right. BUT you watch when we go play there for the Big 12/SEC challenge , we are going to HAVE OUR HANDS FULL.- -Were Kansas and they hate us , and think we cheat , and they want their all time vicvictorys back. - -Mark my words they will come out and play their ass off and try to look like world beaters

Dam I just focused and seen this post of yours was from a LONG TIME ago - - WTH ? lol. - -I did just see they are getting a transfer who originally committed to Georgia. - -A 6'8 PF out of Denton - name is KyeRon Lindsay 4 star
Sky Clark stated that him leaving Illinois had nothing to do with Basketball. - But DID have to do with pyritizing & Family.
Said he was stepping away from basketball for awhile

@BeddieKU23 they don't have much! The transfer kid is close to being thrown out. I guess he flipped off marcus smart in the osu game. Was in the stands.
There is a reason he hasn't stayed anywhere long.
Exactly
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Skyy Clark leaves Illinois. Just wow
Man things are crazy. Between the way the portal is changing things - & players just up and leaving-- mercy. - - Isn't he a freshman ?

wouldn't you think thats kind of a wasted year - - I mean we are approaching the halfway point. - -By the time he gets adjusted to the offensive & Defensive schemes - -at least chances are what 3-4 games - - comfortably anyways. - -just seems like a wasted year
@rockchalkjayhawk said in 247's Draftable List (NBA Draft):
Yup. I'd for sure like to see him at his best in Year 2!
Maybe with the NIL $$$$, he'll stick around.
Don't hold your breathe
Man Prime is screwing around and in the end it is going to bite him in the ass. Seen this post of TOS , All about Sanders cutting a player in a video while on the internet.
Now I guess while the kid had screwed up a couple of times , true he might of needed let go - so here he is in this video - - has the team there asking them what they thought he ought to do , taking responses talking about how this kid has hurt the family - -so in the end he says whoever thought he needed to go stan up. - -Then he says whoever think he needs to go stand up - -well more thought he needed to go then not stood up. - - - Like several posts on this whole thing said - -he is already getting to the point where he has his team divided , not a good situation
Like others said - -you don't do something like this in a video live on the internet , this should of been kept in house - they could of taken a vote but to embarrass the kid in front of 1000's of people the making him leave live right then and there telling him to leave totally classless. You could of called him in the office and told him you was yanking his Scholi - but he rather do it in this manner - -Alot of people talking about how gutless action it was and just done wrong. - -gain you don't do something like this and internal thing and make a public display out of it what the hell you thinkin ? - - YOUR NOT SANDERS IDIOT

Ya it's Stephenson kid - -transferred from Wichita State I think. - - I seen his action he was grabbing his crotch at the bench is what I saw - -not a good look, Huggins said if he ever did anything like that again he was out - would be a Mountaineer

@drgnslayr said in Bill Self the GOAT:
I know everyone loves those national titles... so do I. But his winning conference titles streak in a power conference is freakazoid and should hold up the rest of all our lives.
Consistency is never mentioned much in accolades... everyone loves the highlights. I do, too, but I put consistency at the top.
Here we are... the season after our nattie and damn if he hasn't put together a team that possibly could challenge to back it up!
Also... look hard at what he has schemed on the court. He will receive plenty of footnotes in the history of college basketball for his offensive sets/plays. Heck... how many easy points do we get every year from inbounds plays?
I've always challenged his ability to bring out teams "ready to play." This has always been one of my peeves. Maybe he is coaching me up now because I now think he is focused on preserving player energy throughout the game so they can go full tilt at the end, when it is "money time!"
"My dad became a lot smarter when I grew up and became a man!" I feel like he's given me plenty of lessons!
the string of Conference Championships will NEVER be duplicated
@drgnslayr said in Chris Beard Arrested:
Here is what I was looking for...
"In the days after the arrest, Texas officials invited Beard and his representatives to lay out a case for why they should not fire him, according to multiple sources familiar with those conversations."
If Beard was completely innocent (the only situation where he should keep his job), then his attorney should have "beat UT to the punch" (sorry for the pun) and asked for this first. Obviously... he did not present clear evidence to the university showing complete innocence.
you know - -- -and I know to much there to be completely innocent
@Kcmatt7 said in State of the Roster 2023:
Notable Departures:
- Phelps - draft
- Ky Thomas - Transfer
Notable Additions/Returning:
- JD secured the bag from Adidas and will be back.
- Bean coming back
- Kenny Logan back
- Austin Booker - DE Minnesota transfer
- Gage Keys - DL Minnesota Transfer
- Charlie Weinriech - K Nebraska transfer
- Devin Phillips - DT Colorado State transfer
- Seth Keller - K Texas State transfer
- Logan Brown - T Wisconsin transfer
As of right now, we return nearly the entire offense, and essentially everything but the front 4 on D.
Phelps leaving is killer. The best defensive player in the team, but I get it. I thought he was NFL good this season. Going to need a lot from the Minnesota transfers to fill those shoes. We desperately need to find some more DL even after landing 3 priorities in the portal.
Kicker is getting addressed (it seems).
Overall I think we are returning a borderline top 25 roster. We just need the defense to improve and we’re legitimately talking about competing for the conference imo.
Player retention will still be big to watch, but I have o love where we are at.
ya I look at our roster and mercy can be really good. - -we have soo much coming back , I look and see some really key guys that's back.- - Love our receiving core think we will see even better , Our offense is set nd with Jason coming back really nice to know if something happens thru injury to Jason we be all right. - -Love the way things are shaping up.
To show you what a grind this league is gonna be this year I just heard - - - -6 out of the first 10 games that have been played , they were ONE possession games.
Also you realize that FORUR teams lost home games - -Visitors stole the game on the road. - - KU - - Iowa State - - K/ State-- TCU all won on the road, you HAVE GOT to protect home turf if you wanna win this league
ONCE AGAIN Faremer looks like you was 100 % correct - - From what I've seen within the last hour - -Jason Bean - - IS BACK - -THAT'S GREAT NEWS - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Tang to Texas is going to be soooooo funny
it would be , just have to see on that - - -I don't think that will happen but you never know.
Any guess by anybody if we are gonna see Transfers ? - -Gonna have to wait till the end of season chances are but would be willing to bet you gonna see some transfers
WOW , when did this happen. I just figured e here taking back what she had said - - clear him and he comes back. - Rather he was innocent or not.
Anyone wondering HOW Duke gets beat by 224 points to an unranked ACC team NC State.
Well this might be a big reason : - -Duke 1o assists & - -21 turnovers. - - -Getting beat on turnover points by NC State- - -30 - -2. - - Giving up 52 points to NC State backcourt. --- - NC State 9 blocks - - Duke 2 - - & being outscored in the 1st half ---44 - - -22 - - pretty good recipe for disaster
