Yeah since KU never comes within 3 hours of me this trip required me to save every penny for a while but I know it will be worth it. I'm jealous you have had the chance to see them before in person.

ya, loved these guys from ever since I was knee high to a grasshopper. - - I remember looking up at Dave Robisch and thought - - MAN that's a big dude. - - him and ol Rick Suttle - -Danny Knight/Kelly Night - - Tom Kivisto - -Roger Morningstar , Tommy Smith , Ken Koenigs Bobby Kivisto , Ronnie Kellogg ( boy could that kid shoot ) - -Calvin ( Pony ) Thompson Jo Jo White , Nino Samuel , Aubrey Nash - Darnell Valentine ( Mercy the thigh muscles on that kid ) a lot of the guys I have gotten to see play -- life time of memories

@BeddieKU23 You absolutely must make it back to Larryville for a game!!! That being said you’ll have an absolute blast watching the Jayhawks! The Sprint Center has a nice court view from most seats. The one time I went we sat in the back row and it had a good time. (Back row isn’t all bad you come in from the top so we were right by the exit with no stairs.) Enjoy my Jayhawk friend!!!

Show my age - - I remember going to the old Big 8 tournament in Muninicipal Fieldhouse - -and then my Brother and I went to the tournament when it was in the stockyards lol and would hang out at the Golden OX. - - had some good times.

When I was in jr high and seeing Dave Robisch and trying to et his and other autographs - -time of my life

@jayballer73

Yes its my first ever game live. I live in the northeast so the closest they have ever came has been about 3 hours away. I have dreamed of seeing them in Allen Fieldhouse since I was 9 years old. I was all set to see them a few years back but then me and wife had our first child so that scrapped that. Then I was set to see them in the Champions Classic last year but something came up again.

So Saturday we are making the trip to KC. One of our good friends is a Chiefs fan and he was already going so he asked us knowing I was a diehard Jayhawk Fan if we would like to go. We had hoped there would be a KU game in Allen but such as fate its in the Sprint Center so I'll have to make another return trip in the near future. Hopefully by that time my son will be old enough to really understand what's going on and it will be something memorable. Regardless I'm on cloud 9 to see them in person.

And as a bonus will be seeing that Pat Mahomes guy (not a Chiefs fan but I'm excited to see him). Have read a few times he's pretty decent.

lol , ya the Chiefs are not my # 1 team either but I do pull for them anytime they are not Playing Green Bay. & Mahomes as you know is an absolute stud love watching him.

Wish I was going to the game - -have been a few times and the KU experience is insane - -when it comes time to you actually be able to be in the Phog - - - a life time experience.

I'm one of the few that not wealthy income - -pretty meager so I have to work to just be able to go money wise but that's ok - -makes it more memorable when I do get to go - living off my disability income from my back - -only one other problem that get s in the way -- Bills but I still love them to death. - I know you'll have a good time this weekend. - I hope the boys play well for you so you can really enjoy. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Dg, 40 pts🥰👀💥🤩

mercy -- mercy - - Devonte/Devonte - never thought he would do THIS well. - couldn't be happier

BeddieKU23 said:

This will be my first Kansas Game! Was hoping for Allen Fieldhouse but I'm also seeing the Chiefs play on Sunday so its just the way the schedule plays out. I'll be back to see a game in Allen next. So pumped

your not meaning this is your 1st time EVER to see a KU game live are you? - -if it is - -really surprised me , just because of the few messages we responded to each other just got the feel that you had probably been to multiple games. - always very knowledgeable - so if it is then I know you will really enjoy - -hope you have a great time.

Then when you get to the Phog - - you'll never experience anything like it. Awesome

There were games when my Brother and I went - - one example was a KU/UK game and we were right there next to one another and you could forget it - - trying to say something to the other - - - it was impossible to hear what he said or I said - -just un-believable loud - - the TRUE MECCA of College Basketball - - - ENJOY my friend - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey , Hey , Hey -K-Sucks found someone they can beat up on. - -Alabama State a team with a 1-7 record and ranked 338th in the kem/pom rankings - K-Sucks leads 52-16 at half - -Awesome resume builder for the NCAA Tourney lmao

Dakich

ya - - -worthless

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@jayballer73 just call him dick itch, sorry guys

lmao - - now now - - play nice lol

Crimsonorblue22 said:

I was more or less showing how fran does his lil digs at us. Maybe it's just me, but I can't stand him! He could've said something nice and left us out.

no Fran lover here either. Another one I have no use for is probably going to spell this wrong but anyways - another guy is Dockich - -Dan ? - can hardly bare to listen to him.

Think he had a son play for Iowa possibly?

when I checked in on him last night , game still going on he had 29 points on 6-11 shooting - doing really well

For sure a tale of 2 halves last night. You know for sure Self was not happy with the way they played that 2nd half last night - not good. - -the 2nd half just way , way to many open layups - like the Red Sea parting - - Wide open 3's like shooting practice in practice - -defense intensity was gone the 2nd half. - sure we won, but we play like that against somebody - -anybody that is anybody later in the year - -we gonna be in trouble.

Right around the 8:00 mark in the 1st half we were up 40-12 - - -from that point on we ended up being outscored 66-55 -- -not good , must of been thinking games were 20 minute games instead of 40 - -tale of two games - -we looked pretty good for the 1st 15 minutes - -then just eh the rest - - I'm sure Coach will remind them tomorrow. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BeddieKU23 said:

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Louisville is just terrible tonight

spot on - - -Tonight. - -yet I think it might be a little of both , - -terrible tonight AND Tech defense pretty solid tonight.

I would think people would have to be really naïve to count Tech out as having some say this season - - their losses have been in OT I know in one at least - -and playing without Ramsey - they gonna be there

Hope he has a good season - -want what he feels like is best for him. - -Hold no grudges . - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FarmerJayhawk said:

Watch Leif Magnusson next weekend. There’s going to be some churn before NSD.

We Need interior linemen on both sides, so for sure would love Magnusson.

On another somber note my friend - -I'm just not feeling Clayton, - I was really hopeful. Pooka was with him all this weekend , a lot of encouraging tweets -photo's - - -but just really feel if he was gonna flop - -it would of got done by now. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

Got Him - - Armaj Adams from Desoto Texas just committed - -- Nice pick up. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

HighEliteMajor said:

I think we just have to recognize the significant possibility that Self leaves after the penalties are announced. Or after the appeal is denied. I know that these are not happy thoughts. I’m much more interested in winning the national title this season. So who cares about all of that.

I've said this before , and have to agree with what you say about the possibility. - -There have always been the Spur rumors , the connections he has with the Spurs the people he knows.

Like you mentioned if and when we get hit and I don't think anyone here is naïve enough to think were not going to be hit with some kind of penalities - I could see him leaving if indeed the position came open.

As I've said before - really no reason to stay at the College level , if that's what he would want to do. - -Nothing left to prove. - - HOF Coach at the College level ? - - Check. Winning the Conference title ? - - Check.- 14 times in a row of I remember correctly. - - -- Winning a National Championship ? - -umm Check. Beating other king of the Road College Coach's some multiple times ? Check. Williams , -Izzo , Calipari , Coach K - -comes to mind right off the bat , Check , so ya

Reasons to leave ? - -Not having to put up with all the BS recruiting these teen age kids -all that time on the Road. Not having to put up with all the NCAA BS anymore - -So ya I could easily enough see him leave if that's what he wants. Hell go ahead and go Bill, do what's best for you - -if it happens , hate to see you leave but very confident we will still be fine - -we will find a very good replacement - -yet let's hope it doesn't happen - -BUT IT COULD - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I'm starting to like our defense some more. - -I guess just didn't realize but every time I read articles -other Coach's / players - talk about how long KU is - athletic wings / long . - Talk about how KU takes you out of what you want to do /things other teams are best at, a lot of others really like our defense - -guess I'm just slow ans just now starting to see it more

Gonzaga pulls away late for the win.

(Had to mute the sound...Walton was calling the game.)

OH LORD - - sorry you had to go through that buddy

Crimsonorblue22 said:

@jayballer73 think their pt is still sick?

OH , Ok - well then if that's right then no wonder - -big void with him out. - - Thanks

FarmerJayhawk said:

Adams-Reed likely next. I’m optimistic on Clayton too. As far as where the numbers come from, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

ya, I'm just getting that funny feeling that MAYBE - - -just MAYBE - we do get Clayton to flip, that would be sweet.

Thing is though just like Prunty - we got to get them to the early signing without flipping again

WSU downs Oklahoma State, 80-61...

WAIT - - -Whaa? - -Marsha? - -I thought OSU was suppose to be a little salty this year. = THAT'S a bad loss for the big 12

approxinfinity said:

Ok ok ... Maybe it's a fatigue thing? Not getting as winded in practice as.games

lol - - maybe

approxinfinity said:

@jayballer73 33-48 sounds like a thing that happened one time :face_with_tears_of_joy:

sounds like a thing that should happen. - -they say he does this ALL the time in Practice watch him drain FT'S

The one thing for sure is , we have just got to take better care of the ball. - -21 turnovers , and the bad thing a lot of so were not even because of hard pressure. - -Just bad passes - - horrible passes trying to fed Doke - - throwing the ball up for alley - -all we got were ooops - -got to get this taken care of

you guys hear that ? -Doke hitting 33-48 in practice, man it just HAS to be metal game block - he can do it - -just not in games

got to start hitting some of those 3's

Come on bruan

He's not ready lol

just thinking the same, Braun is lost right now , little over his head - -he will be all right just going to take time. - - As soon as he came in - -Colorado attacked him right off the bat. - -Somewhere down the line he will contribute and not a liability.

Other note one thing I noticed - -we ( KU ) as a team has got to quit going for all the pump fakes - - thinking they going to block everything - -dam stay on your feet

what we got to do to get the espn app ?

whats the difference between espn - and espn app. talking like our game going to start there

Colorado ranks 250th in turning the ball over - - time to get into them pressure get our kind of game - -can't let them control tempo entire game

West Virginia kinda got homered in the final 5 seconds of the game. - -THAT was NO foul in any shape or form.

Tie ball game St johns drives to the hoop - -St John player slips driving in falls into Culver - makes contact from slipping and they call Culver for the foul - game should of went into overtime

Maryland is getting it handed to them by Illinois down 14 at the half @ Maryland

Baylor is for real. - -I'll be honest I thought Arizona would go in and win. - - Baylor has 3 really good guards

KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Baylor is up 17-8 on Arizona right now, but nobody is there to see it.

your right pretty empty. - at 1st I thought man what's wrong with these people. then I remembered championship football game today - -a lot of their fans at that game, - -a lot of others probably staying home watching that game on TV.

Yet the one's that are there , they just suck hardly no noise period;

Observations from the game : - -1st - -Baylor IS a good team - -very good guards - quick , - 2nd - -Today anyways Arizona , not as good look a step slow.

One thing I found out really quick - - -Really like Nico Mannion , wish he could of landed here , kid is solid , looks very mature as a freshman - very sweet passes has a nice shot , good ball handler - ya I like this kid. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Basketball is down in all conferences!

Agreed , part of it too I think is that quite possibly from what I see is the change in the 3 pt distance. - I don't think teams are shooting the 3 overall as well - kin of weird to think a couple of feet would make that kind of difference.

I think scoring is down as a whole - -sure some teams still putting in the hole but as a whole I think scoring is just down - - -talent is not as dep I don't think - -the better talent not as deep

approxinfinity said:

They just said Duke is dead last (75th) in major conference teams with points allowed.

Are they playing tonight?

Hawk8086 said:

Question: For those of you that are local and go to the games: Does Tad get a really good ovation (I hope) when he walks onto the court?

I'm sure the fans will be respectful to Tad - -no reason not to. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BeddieKU23 said:

Yikes Oklahoma won by 2 points on the road over North Texas (3-6).

mercy ! ! !

Seen this , some interesting little tid bits or the game tomorrow. Colorado has lost 29 games in a row against us in the Phog. Tad is 0-1 against us here lost in 2012 90-54.

Last time we lost was in 1983- - - -that's when Tad was our starting Guard lol - -that's wonderful. - - SO THERE YOU GO. -- -rock chalk all day long baby

Baylor with a BIG test tomorrow , Baylor is good, but how good? - get a better feel tomorrow. - - Baylor plays Arizona tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. @ Baylor on ESPNU - - should be a pretty decent test for them, wouldn't surprise me if Stumpy doesn't win.

West Virginia , dam didn't realize they are ( 7-0 )- - they play in the Big East Challenge tomorrow - playing St Johns @ St Johns - -11:00 0n FS-1

Wichita State - -yippee - plays OSU Sunday @ OSU - -if Likely plays should be a fairly easy win for OSU - - they play @ 11:00 on ESPNU

OL Smarty plays Texas A & M - -@ A & M - 2:00 on ABC - -have no idea who wins this -- nor do I give a rats ass lol

Another decent game this weekend , Seton Hall plays Iowa State @ Ames 8:00 P.M on ESPN 2 - - think Iowa State has a legit shot , mainly cause it's at Ames , if this was at Seton Hall I'd be rolling with Seton Hall - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well sure looked like a fool this morning lol. - -Here I am getting myself all amped up , getting ready for the game tonight , getting in my game mode looking forward to kicking back in my recliner and watching some KU Basketball and - -Dam just realized the game is TOMMOROW NIGHT- -not tonight lmao - -well there goes my day all to hell in hand basket - - it's really sad to get old - - ER lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well sure hurts me to hear Marsha whimpering - -I know maybe Woo-Shock can go buy some cell phones and place them around the arena with a trip wire and when it's time can pull the string and be all those lights in the empty arena lmao

dylans said:

@jayballer73 Roy isn’t exactly a defensive mastermind. If UNC can’t score they’re in trouble.

BIG TIME TROUBLE - - lol

Devonte is 4th in the league in 3's made per game at 3.6. Leads the Hornets in scoring.

yes love the kid. - Yet serious question and be honest, did you - - me or anyone else believe SERIOUSLY that he would be having this type of year? - -Really good showing for himself - -hope he continues to do well

Never expected it but absolutely happy to see him thriving with the opportunity. He's playing lights out. Just amazing to see.

playing lights out for sure. - Looks like his confidence is sky high - -couldn't be happier

Michigan looked like a team that wasn’t ranked last week. Must have used all there 3 point shots Last week in the Bahamas.

Hell, their 2 point shots as well. Just 12-39 from 2...wow. Their defense continues to be elite though.

I wonder if Michigan State after getting killed by Duke finally falls in the Kenpom/Torvik etc rankings.

What is wrong with Michigan State? I kind of thought to begin the season that they were a little overrated, but have since adjusted to way overrated.

not having Langford has really hurt them BUT - -I still think that yes , they were overrated. - -Good team but far from a top tier team - - tope 20 team? - -yes top 20 but not top 10. - More like 15th -to 21st type team - -at this point anyways.

North Carolina is another team in trouble - like the announcers said last night they don't have anybody other then Anthony that can score. - If Anthony is out who is going to score for them - -NOBODY. - -they haven't shot 50 % in a game this year -they haven't scored 80 points like they normally have not once like they did in previous years - - they are not in a good position

Saw where Wichita State is 6-1. - -Their only loss? - -West Virginia by 12. - -They still play Oklahoma & Oklahoma State - - I think they lose both

BeddieKU23 said:

Grimes had 21 pts last night, averaging 16.8, 4 boards, 3.7 assists. Still can't shoot 3's but he was 7-7 at the line last night and is 47% from the field this year.

YA was just looking at his stats - leading the team in Scoring. - Got what he wants to be the stud on the team - -a me team - only shooting I think like 27 % from the 3
