I love basketball, I’ll watch any good game, watching Arizona vs Arizona State currently. Watched WSU get every call to beat Temple at home, shot more than double fts and people claim only KU gets calls lol.

I too watched that Arizona. Arizona State game. - -Mercy just makes my mouth drool to think if we had ended up with Ayton. That still bugs the hell out of me - - -we were supposed to be in good shape with him. - - -then comes announcement day and he says Arizona and people wondering WHAT? - -WTH?

The kid is a MAN - can handle the ball well ended up last night with what like 25 points - - - 14/15 rebounds -- 3 blocks last I heard - -3 assists - I really like Doke BUT damn not even close in comparison mercy we could of used him - -every time I see this guy has to make me wonder - - -what if. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jaybate-1-0 At this point, I would not doubt anything that comes out of Washington. The deep state is real, the deep state is dangerous to democracy. It's the 4th branch of government we heard about in school -- the bureaucracy. It's the preservation of power and influence. What I fear is that the clear abuses by the DOJ/FBI (and IRS -- let's not forget that big one), are a clear attack from one side of the political spectrum. What's different now is we have a non-vigilant, ever compliant, agenda driven, media machine. Just look at the front page of the KC Star today, and every day. It is embarrassing for journalism. What I fear more from a big picture perspective is that the action/reaction/counter-reaction, whatever, starts plunging us away from 1st world civility and into third world chaos.

@Hawk8086 The only reason -- and I think we all can agree on this -- that we would feel that we are immune is our unquestioning faith in Bill Self's character. A quality of person that I believe is too strong and ethical to look the other way.

I understand what your saying about Coach Self's character and I agree however this is probably like what 95% of other fan bases feel about their Coach and their team don't you think. - As CRAZY AS IT SOUNDS Kentucky fans for sure think Coach Cal is innoncent - -I have a hard time with that - - but they do. - Every school/fan base wanting to blame every other school in the Nation but THIER OWN - - I just don't know what to think. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK. seriously who here whole heartedly and sincerely believes that this mess will NOT touch KU in some form or another?- - I just feels this goes to far - -- to deep NOT to effect us in some sort of way , whether it be a very simple minor to the extreme un GODLY other way - - which by the way I don't think will happen- -BUT I do feel we will be effected in some sort of way with this. - -I was reading and an article states that if I remember right that as many as 50 colleges could/would be effected.

I realize yes there are other HOF Coaches and I DO feel that good ol Cal could be in a world of dog doo - - and even good ol Roy - -but I also feel even though maybe not directly that our Coaching staff possibly not Bill directly but someone on the staff might of just did a little something -something. - -what a mess.

I agree with another poster here I don't know why any one of us feels that we are above something - the innocence these things get so detailed - -so involved. - -Hell you could do something wrong without truthfully even realizing you had done something wrong.

I just feel that when this is all said and done - - don't be surprised if our name isn't one of the names listed. - - -NO I don't have any concrete evidence that we are- --just an opinion - -like everyone else here that's all - -just my gut --sure hope I'm wrong - -would love to be. - I just feel something smells here and it isn't innonence , this goes to deep. -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Interesting comments from Coach about Sheron, hell of a player just interesting:

Coach was talking about when Sheron gets his jersey put up Monday: - -Said he thinks he is the best player EVER that they have recruited since Coach has been here. - - -said he could go get his own -- set everybody up - - -BBIQ - -was off the charts - -& tougher then everybody.

Now I love Sheron and not trying to dis-count in any way BUT doesn't that statement sound like somebody else that played here? - -at least for me it does -- Did not Frank get his own? - - -Did not Frank set everybody up? - -did not Frank have pretty dam good BBIQ? - -Wasn't Frank pretty tough?

I know what Coach was saying and I'm not disagreeing and he wasn't trying to slight anyone I know - I think Frank and Sheron would almost like be comparing Apples to Oranges -you couldn't go wrong with either one - -just interesting that's all. - - -ROC CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Interesting to point about Kentucky. Their fans have to be livid and not only for the losses but how they have played and the lack of effort that seems to be coming out of their players. They look like they don't care. That said, did anyone else see them listed as a potential #9 seed in the most recent Bracketology on ESPN? As awful as Kentucky has looked I would not want to see them as a potential 2nd round game if I am a #1 seed. They have a lot of talent. They have crazy fans who will travel. They may even have a chip on their shoulder if they are a #8 or #9 seed. I personally hope they go into complete meltdown mode and don't make the tourney but just thought the potential matchup with a #1 seed was fascinating.

Actually , I read a thread on their board today exactly about that. It said would fans be willing to travel to these sites for the 1st 2 games and then it listed all the sites. -- The crazy thing is most of them said NO - -they WOULD NOT travel to watch them this year to those sites -- there were some that said they wouldn't travel ANYWHERE to watch the this year - -they are in a complete meltdown with their team. - -- thing is they could have yet 2-3 more losses in league BEFORE their conference tourney.

They still have Alabama at home - - Arkansas at Arkansas( not easy ) - -Florida at Florida - -I can't remember the other 2 but not easy so they could be looking at 10-11 losses - - -good luck with that - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark

I would love to see Collison join the program and coach the bigs. His last contract was basically to do just that for the Thunder and looks like he will retire at the end of the season.

Ya that would be pretty sweet. - -I'd like that - what I'd really like would be to see Danny come back and Coach our big's but since he has gotten into head coaching that will never happen so Collison would be good for sure. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Me personally they can keep right on losing. - Right at the present we have picked up 3 games in the all time wins on them - -just got to keep chugging right along just like the lil red engine- with the attitude of -- I think I can - - -I think I can - - I know we can lol ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark

I am not saying he is in the hot seat only that the return on investment has not been great for them. With all that talent you would expect better results. Bobby Mo, Bobby Mo...:smiley:

Their talking no team Chemistry - - having trouble with basics. - -Auburn last night the commentators were talking Uk had 3 inches per man in this game - -and yet it was Auburn with the block party.

Talking about how they constantly are getting beat back down the floor way to many transition baskets for the opposition. - The fans talking they want to see a lot of these guys gone - - go ahead and go pro get someone who cares they say lol -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 We should meet up at a game some time. I've been to a few of Zach's games as well.

Oh you have? - -ya we should. - - it's not very long before the tournies start up. - -It's just a hop skip and Jump for me as I live in the southeast part of town. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Harvey with a huge game last night, dropping 42 in the win. Hit 7 threes. He's averaging over 25 a game since his ankle got healthy, though that's obviously a bit skewed with the big game last night. Still, seven threes in a game demonstrates that Harvey has improved his overall shooting touch even more (was 7-10 from three, 15-21 from the field).

I've Actually seen him play a few times this year living right here in Topeka with him - -out at Hayden. - -Just looks to me that he is continuing to just get better - -nice stroke. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Let me start by saying yes I know, I troll other teams throughout the Nation message boards -- Yet I never post on any , I just find it interesting to read the different topics, plus I also know that there are many many other teams fans that troll our message boards and ALOT of them do post. In fact there have been some threads where you wonder who's fan site is this as members from two different fan bases get into a heated discussion and neither of the two are KU fans but yet on our boards. I never message -- I jus tread I pick up recruiting information and other tidbits - I did post on one board and promptly got booted off lmao - -it's ok it was Kentucky - -God forbid lol.

But that is not what this is about. - -What I wanted to say is our boys have went through a rough stretch - - our boys have taken some heat - -- Coach Self has taken some heat. However I DO think that possibly seeing signs that we might be about ready to get t turned around - -possible baby steps and yet.

The whole point I am making a feeble effort to make here is that things could be worse I reckon. - - -My GOD the Kentucky fan base is just beside themselves. - - They lost again last night --4 game losing streak and look bad.

People saying Coach Cal should be on the hot seat , people saying how they are sick and tired of this OAD - -how the team is lazy - -how these players should be playing - -how three shouldn't be - - They really hot cause Cal made the statement how he doesn't care about the record - -he cares about the kids oh that really set them off.

Saying maybe all Cal DOES care about is the OAD'S and getting the to the NBA - -how they need to change their recruiting approach - -and on - -and on - -and on sorry my friends it's just that when I see things like this then it I realize you know what? - - Things aren't so bad here - -ya we have some problems - but I'm confident - -I can just see little things - -Vick possibly pulling out of his funk - -Newman doing some better - I love our guys - -things could be worse - -In Kentucky yes - - " THE SKY IS FALLING LMAO " - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Has nothing to do with nothing BUT found very interesting. Question - - how does a team only get ONE foul called on you in an entire half? - -Answer - - your NAME is DUKE and your playing AT DUKE --THAT'S HOW LMAO - -and people talk about how Ku always gets all the calls lmao ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Coach Self seeing Romeo today - - Romeo visiting Vanderbilt Saturday for the Florida game. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

believe it or not - - I know we kind of missed so freebies in the end , but believe it or not I actually saw some signs of life last night, some regrouping possibly.

Like maybe some players coming out of their funk , nothing huge- but some steps of positivity anyways - -such as Vick having a decent game Malik playing better, man what I'd give to have all 5 of our guys playing on all cylinders at the same time - would be lethal again like they were earlier in the year.

Last night it was Vick - - Newman - -& Doke -with Graham and SVI having bad games -- previously it was Graham hitting and some others struggling

I think we still have a shot - - not going to be easy, Tech is really good not just a one or two man team they are complete for sure, but it can be done. We just have to take care of business WV HUGE - - Oklahoma HUGE both in the phog we just can not afford anymore home losses. We can't afford any more losses period. We are going to have to win out, - it can be done. -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

that's awesome only thing is i'll bet they haven't come close to playing 9 straight gams without a single minute off

Well I have to say this , I personally can't give this kid enough props - - credit. - We hear all kinds of people say where would Oklahoma be without Trae Young? - - I in turn respond and have to say where would KU be without Devonte Graham?

Actually I really feel sorry for Devonte, but damn the kid just bust his ass. last night against Iowa State was his 9th straight game of playing all 40 minutes - -he has played every minute in the Big 12 conference games except for TEN MINUTES - - - -TEN. - - Is there any other player in the Nation that has played as many to compare with Devonte? Yet there are people that want to talk smack on Devonte - how he sucks - -not here - well that I know of anyways, but they are out there and that is just crazy.

It's really to bad that we don't have that competent backup for him so he can get some rest -- anyways Coach doesn't feel comfortable with anyone replacing him for any length of time and we have seen for ourselves what normally happens if he is off the floor

His shot is struggling - -looking really bad on some of his shots - - well actually a lot of his shots looked bad last night , but if anyone has an excuse for their shooting percentage to drop- -it's for sure Devonte. Anybody that knows anything at all knows that this kid has to be totally exhausted , and please don't try and come at me with any lame ass excuse about well he needs to be better conditioned - please don't try and say that. Any player could be in the best conditioned shape in his life and if he plays the amount of minutes Devonte has had to play, the results would be the same. It is just insane we can't get him some rest. He has no spring -- no legs I mean ya the team might be tired - -BUT Devonte for sure has a legit reason for his shooting struggles - - - not that he s trying to look for one - - - -BUT

Where would we be? - - I'm tellin you NOT in 2nd place with still an outside shot at the Championship that's for sure. The kid deserves more credit then what some are saying about him that's for sure -he is doing all that he can plus some that's for sure. BUT just this guy's opinion that's all. - Devonte has me in his corner quite a steal from a kid that originally was going to play at where? - -App St right? - - The kid has a set for sure I'm tell ya - -gives it his all. - - hope ya all appreciate the kid like I do he deserves it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Really don't think there is anything to this at all. Just someone bored , but they have accomplished their goal of getting some worked up and fretting - -people's guesses running wild and then some just ridiculious . -- BUT having said that I'll play along, and the Romeo gossip WOULDN'T be the only HUGE news concerning KU basketball, also just as believable as some have heard before and I think we could see it happening that would be just as believable would be like some have stated with this earlier and that would be - -

Coach Self leaving KU at the end of this season and replacing Popovich at San Antonio. - -This is the ONE NBA and the only NBA or college position I feel that is a legit threat to get Self to leave.

Popovich resigns - - very good chance Self could/would go - -so if there were to be HUGE news this could be just as easily the HUGE news coming soon - -BUT I really feel it's all BS - - - I say rest east breathe deeply my friends lol - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 What is the message you are getting? Perhaps if you post the message it might help debugging your issue. Since you seem to be able to access with a different account it is likely not a browser issue; remember passwords are case sensitive. You can also request a password reset and see if it works.

Also, one thing I notice on the iPad is that would not let me login after I disabled cookies as a potential solution to the dreaded "You have won a $1000 gift certificate" popup that appears to plague Safari on the iPad. After I re-enabled cookies, it allowed me to login just fine. My desktop and the othre iPad worked just fine.

@jayballer73 but possible that the board doesn't work well with Edge browser. Historically, Microsoft browsers have been the bane of web devs, wouldn't surprise me if there is a bug with the board that is Edge specific.

Jayballer it's time to install Firefox or Chrome. :joy:

YA. I've read and heard about both of those. -- they really good browsers? - - - if they are where would I find them? - - what web site would I go to? - - -ROCK CHALKALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Weird. I revoked both the sessions I saw on your @Jayballer54 account. Grasping at straws myself, but possible that the board doesn't work well with Edge browser. Historically, Microsoft browsers have been the bane of web devs, wouldn't surprise me if there is a bug with the board that is Edge specific. Anyway, if you want to try to authenticate again with your old account, maybe it will work now that I revoked the sessions. Also, a long shot, but you renamed from jayballer (lowercase j) to whipperboy then Jayballer (uppercase j). I doubt that is the cause of anything, but the only other thing I noticed that seemed like a variant.

hmmmm, thanks my friend. - -this is so strange. - - I appreciate you trying to check things for me my friend. like you say weird - -I wonder or how this whipperboy came from - -I didn't make up that user name I don't understand. - -If it's ok with everyone I think I,m just gonna stay with this one now- -I'm to old lol to try and figure this out - - - -computer idiotic - - -that's me - -I feel good just to be able to peck out a message lol - -thanks for all your help before to long I'll have to find me a profile pic - I lost all my family pcs - - -sport pics everything - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 It's really weird that making a new account would fix it. Going into read only mode would imply it's an issue with your browser being able to run scripts but obviously that isn't the case since you are posting now. And also just shouldn't be an issue with any newer browser unless you have something like noscript (I do but obviously I allow this site because I know it's safe).

Ya it's crazy buddy. - -I don't know either - I was just grasping at straws - -I don't get it. - it said something to the effect of your Java browser isn't strong enough or adequate enough to support so your only able to read comments and not respond - it was nuts lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Thank you. - ya had me worried , I really love this room and thought what the heck had happened. - - -Still don't really know for sure, just was curious well - - wonder if I made a different account what would happen? still befuddles me - I didn't do anything with the browser but in the end -- it's all good now thank you. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don't know , I mean it's great to have the streak of conference championships - - - and going for number 14 - - -BUT isn't a final four appearance better? -- I mean what would mean more to the team? - - Another conference championship or a final four?

What is a teams goal in the beginning of the year? Another conference championship OR a trip to the final four? Isn't it the goal of every team to make the final four and then the opportunity for a National title? - - To me - I think I would rather have a final four. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
