@jayballer73 said in 2020-21 Season: Will it happen?:

I guess there have been several scenario's/possibilities tossed out by AD's for solutions to the upcoming season. One is bringing back ONLY Student Athletes and starting on time , but playing in empty stadiums. - That seems kind of pointless to me. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The reason every league worldwide discussed playing in empty venues is all about $$$. Leagues have to play a certain number of games to meet the minimum requirements to get paid. The NBA has a 70 game minimum which is why they've talked about pushing the season back to August and starting next season in December as a possibility.

College athletics is the same deal. Schools and conferences won't make money unless they provide games for broadcast. This is also why Dana White and Vince McMahon have still been putting out new content to meet their TV requirements for UFC and WWE.

But is butts in the stands where the revenue comes from?

Some, but the majority comes from TV distribution deals.

oh ok gotcha, I didn't know really. I would of thought more would of come from the fans, by the time you figure the tickets, concessions and such - - just goes to show how much I know

Back to the title of this thread: Fact or opinion? Use of Trump’s miracle drug?
https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/06/politics/peter-navarro-social-scientist-cnntv/index.html ↗

I'll just remark about the drug leave the whole President Trump thing alone. I don't care who it was I think I would have to lean towards the doctor saying it needs time to see - still to many unknowns. I know they have a guy that said it was worth a shot , that's fine BUT not with my life lol - -no test baby here. as bad as it sounds I think the antidote is just going to take time. - Now I hope that was what you were talking about when you talking miracle drug , I might be barking up the wrong tree lol

Not a good day ( Sunday ) here in Kansas for the virus. Just came out the count went up from 747 to 845. - -Here in Shawnee Co . had 7 new cases - -looking towards better day.

Another sad note , came across my notifications that a new born baby in Louisiana passes away with the virus, as her mom had tested positive - -just sad.

@mayjay said in Ok seeing as how this one feels like they have me - umm no you don't:

@jayballer73 I knew it a couple of years ago. Found it out by accident (long story not relevant here), and decided it was not something to share here as you seem to have rebuilt your life.

But my experiences in life have reduced the surprise from such things, although certainly not the dismay they happen. I specialized in abuse and neglect in law school and represented kids, parents, and Dept of Social Services in law school. I represented over 100 soldiers charged with the same, or worse. A close friend married a woman whose brother was registered. Other friends have shared experiences too numerous to mention.

All in all, I have been exposed to such stories for 40 years and have learned much about the psychological causes, and effects, of abuse. An overwhelmingly common aspect is how often substance abuse is involved. Usually depression and emotional trauma, self-medicated by alcohol and drugs to stop the pain.

Unfortunately, humans are flawed and inflict their pain on others, as you have admitted. I cannot sit in judgment on your sincerity--I had clients who were more abject in their remorse when testifying, but told me after serving time they had lied and really didn't give a shit about their victims, so I learned not to endorse anyone. But I can say that I have no reason to doubt you so, if your story is true, I do feel sorry for you and your daughter for all you both have lost.

You haven't asked for advice, but I do want to suggest that you try to restrain your angry reactions when someone disagrees, corrects you, or even seems to attack you. You seem to still be carrying a lot of anger, and it feels like a hot poker is flying out of the screen when I read some of your replies (not to me, I realize). When you are tempted to let fly, try writing your reactions and then erasing them, followed by a cooling off period. It can help in not provoking idiots into getting into a ranting war where they just get a kick out of trolling you. And you don't always have to reply when they try.

Good luck. May your rehab efforts be successful.

Thank you and I totally understand. what your saying But I for one do have remorse believe that. sounds like you had to deal with plenty of these type of situations so you obviously know when I speak about Empathy that I talked about.

Your right I think I did/do have a lot of pent up anger, well not nearly as much now - but on certain occasions it rears it's ugly head. I think a lot of my Anger & depression came from having to live with the loss of my 3 month old baby boy who passed from SIDS. - - I got really mad/angry - -got really mad at GOD, felt like I had been cheated. I didn't get the chance to enjoy my son , really ma turned my back on GOD for a long time. It's one thing to lose a other - - a farther - - a brother or whatever, but unless you have experienced it yourself - - then people have no idea what it's like to lose a son/daughter - totally different level. - Anyways thanks I appreciate what you had to say. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity said in Ok seeing as how this one feels like they have me - umm no you don't:

@jayballer73 You did a horrible thing. You know it. You're sorry. There should be a place you can move on and be a better person. People should be allowed to change.

Yes I did do a horrible thing, there is no fixing that, that's what I've tried to do - - move on, yet I still live with it and I know that I should, be that reminder that what did there is no place for. Believe me I have changed. - Thanks buddy. If I get booted out of this site because of this and upset people I perfectly understand - - no grudges people have been good here and I appreciate everybody believe it or not. - - I know may not seem like it at times but enjoy the time here, this is my solitude. - if you feel the need no problems buddy have a great night. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ok so , seeing I hurt Ret's feelings he feels the need to private message me and pretty much tries to blackball me and threatens by saying how I've told a lot of stories about myself and morals and he felt like that either it was time to tell People myself about my true moral - -OR as he says he would tell about why I was incarerated , - -I have no problem telling why.

Am I proud of why I was ? - -Hell no, do I expect anyone to understand ? Especially here, - - HELL NO. so if this what gets Ret's rocks off then cool , I'll let him have some self gratification enjoy there buddy.

You see back in the year 2005 I was sent to prison for indecent liberities with a minor under the age of 14. A lot going on through this time. I have never made any excuses for what happened , because there ARE NO EXCUSES for what happened. I destroyed one of my Daughters trust - - she will NEVER be able to trust again. - - I've had people say well people make mistakes , people change. Now while yes I have changed - -This still haunts me for what I did - there is not a day that I don't regret those times , but again I don't look for anybody's forgiveness - I don't want there forgiveness.

That was in 2005, I did 5 1/2 years in Hutch behind the walls in Maximum security , I did my time and was released in 2010, with no problems. I went through classes. I was on Parole for 3 years with an ankle bracelet My parole officers, my counselers ALL said I had done really well. - -

After I got out , I had friends that was friends before I went in. - -I told them after I got out , I said to them what had happened and said if you don't want nothing to do with me because of this , if you don't want to be friends after this I totally understand - and to the Person they ALL said NO they were still my friends and would always be friends, and they said they were sorry. I said I don't need you to be sorry for me - -I don't want you to be sorry for me, if your sorry for anybody then be sorry for her. I told them I appreciated there understanding for me. - But for what I did there was NO EXCUSE

I told my wife of soon to be 10 years right from the start , I told her that I had something she needed to know , and I told her again if you don't want anything to do with me after this I fully understand. - -She to said she appreciated me with being forward. I told her that I thought that there was going to be anything between the two of us then she needed to know EVERYTHING , not hiding anything. she appreciated that.

My Step daughters know why I was sent to prison, they have accepted me. I'm around my grand kids ALL the time. They both have said do you really think I would allow you around the kids - - watch them by yourself if we didn't trust you? - They have accepted me , my Grand kids mean the world to me. - All my Neighbors here where I live know I've been to Prison and they know why, they have kids. NONE of them feel threatened by me they have all told me. - Again they have said if we felt you was a threat/ a problem no way would you be around our kids. They actually love me , I got some that call me their brother/family. Ret come talk your shit around here - -see how they respond to you when you get on your pedestal see what kind of reaction you get from them, you may not like it to well. - - I've been here in the /Neighborhood for 13 years not ONE SINGLE PROBLEM with the Neighbors or Police. - - I'm doing well and have moved on. I've been out for 15 years and not even ONE speeding ticket or any other encounter and I STILL have family - -I STILL have as many friends as I need.

When this happened I was at the lowest point that a guy could get in his life. I had went through the Divorce - - -I had just lost my Mom - - -I/we had just been through a Bankruptcy - -I had gotten involved deep in drugs - I was lost , I was looking for love any kind of affection, IT WAS NOT RIGHT. - -so I touched where I shouldn't touch - and I have regretted it from the time these things happened. - - It is in the past , I CAN'T change the past. - -do I regret - -hell ya I regret it, the Counseler told me right off because while I was in had to go to class and the 1st stage to recovery is admitting guilt/acceptance - - having Empathy, I DO HAVE EMPATHY .

you wanna know how bad I felt for what had happened for what I had done - - I was ready to end my life for what I had done to my little girl. - -I woke up one day , called in to work to my boss I wasn't coming in - -I was gonna kill myself. hung up from him went over to the liquor store bought two fifths of bourbon, came back my boss pulled up and I told him to back the fuck up as I put a knife to my throat - he said OK. - went in the mobile home and promptly ha a 2 1/2 hour stand off with the police. Kept asking the Negioater all I wanted to do was talk to my brother. - In the end they told me the reason they didn't let me was because they thought if they did that I actually would of followed through. That whole scenario ended with me cutting the Negoiaters hand. He tried reaching through the window to get my knife -- I pulled back and sliced his hand. - -He or they didn't press charges for that as he said it was as much his fault as it was mine.

It's been 15 years since I've been out. I've been doing good. I miss my daughter, and I pay every day for what I did, but I understand. It's my Daughter that I feel bad for, I wish I could tell her how sorry I am , this is what I live with Every day I wake up, there is not a day that goes by without thinking about her.

So there it is, RET felt the need that he was going to black mail me - -oh how he was going to tell everyone here if I didn't do it. - - he feels the need to direct message me on here and say that if I didn't tell then he would. - -he says I could either do that - -OR JUST LEAVE see I don't do well with threats, so you got me to tell Ret,and I will still strive forward. I will never look back , looking back in the past does no good. - I've made peach with People - - the People that matter, I can't change the past. I can only live for today. I can only give thanks o my maker for allowing me to open my eyes for yet another day and try to prove myself worthy.

Now Ret these guys may not want to associate with me - -that's ok I understand. Yet they know I've told the story, now hope that makes you happy. I'm not hiding anything, never have never will. Really didn't think that my personal life pertained to this site. I'm still here and as long as I am I will voice my views - - my opinions and I will always remain a member of Jay Hawk Nation whether it's here or somewhere else. If that made you feel more of a MAN by direct messaging me then you really are A LITTLE LITTLE MAN , you get butt hurt by what someone says you resort to tatics such as this? - - God help you.

As far as the rest of you guys, I will always consider you as good friends here and knowligible ones at that. hope you all have a great day - just stay safe. yet as always ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity said in Is this website a joke?:

@jayballer73 politics have played and continue to play a huge role in the response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Look at the states that still don't have stay at home orders. All Republican governors. Lives continue to be lost because of Trumps stupidity. The fact that he has refused to declare a national stay at home directive and has relegated the handling of the issue to individual governors while continue to undermine the CDC (his latest declaration stating that he himself would not wear a mask) has created chaos. Leaders lead. This loser says it's not his problem ("I'm not a shipping clerk") and has his unqualified son in law running a shadow coronavirus reponse operation declaring that the states can't access the federal reserve of medical supplies.

So.... Much.... Bad....

OMG LMAO - - ok love ya anyways man - -have a great day lmao

@approxinfinity said in Is this website a joke?:

@jayballer73 saying "this is not the time to be political" is a political statement.

In fact, your whole post is political rhetoric.

Just another political attack vector. "Look at the other guy all angry about politics!"

that's exactly why I made it a political statement really gets old. Much more important situation thing to be worried about and yet THERE YOU ARE - -what I put was EXACTLY what I wanted to state. If you look I said if you feel the need to post make this political although that's pretty dam sad then so be it.

As for as your cute little comment about " Look at the other guy all angry about politics " - -What the hell you think I have been doing? - -that's all I have been LOOKING at is politics at the totally wrong time - - for the entire time now - but thanks for telling me - time to relax it's gonna be ok. How about worry about the real problem at hanD and THAT'S THE VIRUS. - -Save all the political bullshit for another day.

I know you won't though - -so go ahead and throw your aimless bullshit back at me I'm ready - -Go ahead I'll wait

It just amazes me how people still want to turn this virus into a Political thing at such a critical time in OUR Nation. - - Trump did not bring this virus to America, some people just still don't get it,

you talk about a country divided - holy crap. Save the cheap shots at Trump for another time. THIS is not the time. we can talk LATER bout your almighty delegate who will save the Country - this about the virus and us coming together to make it through this

I mean if you feel the need to throw shots then do what you feel you need to do I guess what ever floats your boat. but you want to go that route just remember when Trump was on this back in January the other party led by the demon Pelosi was so set on impeachment , her and her little clan so wrapped up trying to find witness for impeachment they were so blind to actually what was coming - -Well NANCY you didn't get the impeachment - wasn't removed from office was he ? - his approval rating was at an all time high - and we thought Hilleary was a mess - Nancy makes her look like the Virgin Mary.

I'm NOT Republican - - I'm NOT Democrat, I vote for I feel is the lesser of the two evils , Govt is so corrupt, but this is not a time to see who can talk more smak then the other about who. - -Now is the time to focus of the plague the Corona Virus -dam we have to come together.

Couple of interesting tidbits about the virus I heard and read about today:

1st : They did a survey and found that out of the top 25 cities in the US, - - -that more higher income families were staying home more then the lower income families. - -INTERSTING

2nd.Heard that NY had just purchased and would be receiving 1,000 ventalitors from CHINA TODAY. Just found this pretty interesting , I mean we are purchasing these things from a Country that has been said that is responsible for this in the 1st place. Just goes to show all it boils down to is a bidding war /price goucing - -situation is really sad.

3rd: Here in Kansas up 78 positive cases from yesterday, beginning to spread more quickly/more cases. We now have 698 cases UP from 620 yesterday & now have 21 deaths - -up three from yesterday. - -Hang on to your butts. gonna get worse my friends. Stay Safe

Please read or just watch the video. DONATED not purchased

DUDE one more time, back up this is a time I patience is VERY SHORT. - Dam man bottom line is donated, purchased - - it's fricken CHINA - you don't need to tell me - -CHINA CHINA CHINA the same dam country that withheld information about this, kept it from us check your facts there buddy. - We shouldn't be doing squat with these idiots in any way shape or form.

Dealing with China in ANY WAY should not be allowed , almost as bad as 3m selling to china. - -Oh wait that's not right either right? - - I'm sure you will feel the urge to try and correct me on this too huh? - - Good looking out , way to step up, thank you so much - -Dam people like you wear me out.

@jayballer73 Where did you two meet, anyway? I hope things go well. We are bunkered down, too. Wife has asthma and atrial fibrillation, and I have high blood pressure and diabetes, so we are elevated risk even more than just being mid-60s. But your concern is even greater, and I wish you well in taking such care to protect your bride.

Ahh buddy , thank you soooo much. Believe it or not my wife and I met on a phone line dating site. I had like 3 minutes of time left on my account , and was just on a trial bases with the site and had 3 minute left on the trial. Pretty much had just had enough time to leave her a message with my phone number and said if she wanted to talk to me I left her my number. - About 1 hour later she called me lol.

We talked that night for quite some time. This was all totally sight un seen with one another. We talked for oh about a week. I live here in Topeka & she lived in Winfield. We talked and I said well if we really wanted to see if this was going to develop into anything we needed to meet, & I didn't have any transportation at the time & she didn't either. A buddy of mine told me he would drive me down to Winfield to pick her up , she was going to stay for the weekend. - - she NEVER went back lol , been with me every since. Going to be married 10 years this coming August, got married on my Birthday. We stay together for about a month then after our 1st month we got married lol - - Crazy I know BUT it worked. - she wanted me lmao - -I'm pretty hot lol.. - I told her from the get go I said if your a woman looking for a guy that has a lot of Money then you need TO KEEP LOOKING. I've NEVER had a lot of money - - never have - - never will. Thank you for asking my friend , sorry I got carried away telling my story.

I hear you though with her condition and me and my heart conditions with my Pace Maker and Blood pressure issues very high risk. You take care my friend , you take care of your lil lady too. Life is precious even more so with that special someone. Take care my friend

So here is another way of putting this whole dam COVID-19 into perspective economy wise here in Kansas at least. - - Before this virus hit, on the Average the Dept of Labor received 150,000 calls a WEEK for filing about un-employment , since the virus hit The Dept of Labor on MONDAY - took 877,000 calls in ONE DAY - - ONE FRICKEN DAY 877,000 calls for the filing of un-employment , that's just past insane.- -kind paints a really clear picture on the toll this dam thing is taking

@BShark said in Tyon Grant Foster commits to KU:

When I look at Mitch's per 40 numbers I find it hard to believe he is suddenly going to produce on offense.

@Crimsonorblue22 looking at them in a whole, his fouls actually aren't that big of an issue. Of course it's easy to remember the absurd moments because they stick out.

While looking at Mitch's numbers , you also have to realize those minutes are going to go up - -he numbers will be going up. I'm look some where about 8 points per game. - I'm sure during his Red shirt Mitch has put in time on his outside shooting and such I think he will be fine - nothing monsterous but don't think he will need to be. & again wit the rim protection he brings will be good to go.

The thing with Mitch and find it pretty incredible actually, is how many times he might have got beaten on the defensive end and yet been able to recover and slap the ball away in time, pretty fast recovery time. I like Mitch a lot because another typical case of a kid that's not afraid to do the dirty work , get on the floor for loose balls - - take the charge whatever is needed - -I love those types of kids.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Trouble:

Had a long chat this afternoon with a friend in the AD. Baty never liked Long from the jump and is desperate to make him look bad after Beaty’s business failed. Beaty knowingly committed L2 violations and broke the terms of his deal by promoting a non-certified coach to OC. Everyone knew Long targeted Miles from the jump. Beaty went all out to save his ass and he got burned, putting us years behind. Wait until KU’s lawyers depose the jokers.

Like they said on the local sports forum here in Topeka, Beaty HAS made long look like a fool for sure, Long we hope can save face. Can't remember the name of the guy they had on yesterday ,Dam what's his name? - -they have him on every week talking KU sports he is connected inside and he said that Beaty has succeeded in Making Long look really bad - -almost un-employable bad. Again wehsould of just paid this guy and been done with it. - -It was 3 million for GOD'S sake, now all this has done is drawn more media attention, making our sports programs and AD look even worse.

We DO NOT - - -let me repeat this - -we DO NOT need ANYMORE NEGATIVE pub from media ESPN and others for example, this should not of been an issue, pay the idiot and be done

Our Athletic Dept is an absolute hot pile of dog doo right now, Where the hell is the organization in this dept? - running amuk.

We got this whole NCAA Scandal with our basketball - -then Jeff Long and his bone head moves. Like was said on the local spots broadcast this afternoon, anyone that know anything he was brought on to he could bring Les on Board. - Hell he didn't even go through the entire Coaching Search from what they are saying.

Why in the hell didn't they just pay Beaty the money and be done with it ? - -Now Beaty is on this will you prove to me that these analyst are NOT actually doing any Coaching now on the Coaching staff. Like they said hell if you want to actually get after it , probably every Coaching staff in America does the same thing, but Long and them was using this as show cause to fire Beaty, /so he turns around and says OK -turnabout is fair play - -what a fricken mess , should of just paid the guy.

Now our recruiting in Football & Basketball both is finding or going to find hard times with this crap looming over our heads - -what has happened in our Athletics? - -What - - is Badminton next?

. Was listening to our local sports show here in Topeka . They were saying that there was a survey taken about Are we going to have a full football season or not.

Surprisingly they put out the question to 130 random AD'S and got a pretty surprising 112 that actually took part.

The result ? - -just over 50 % of the AD'S that were polled said that we could very easily lose AN ENTIRE College Season of football because of this Season. A few of the responses were: We better have a Season , another said if we don't have a Season were screwed , another said if we don't have a Season there are going to be ALOT of programs in serious trouble.

They gave the amount of Revenue amount that College football produces for Colleges. The amount is NOT EVEN close un-believable difference between football and the next closest which is Basketball.

This is why they are trying to come up with some kind of format - even if it's a partial season , some crazy stuff. Another example of like I just posted in another thread. -There is another example of there are other People that think this virus is FAR from over, thinking it's gonna drag out , these AD'S sounding like they feel that this is going to go on for some time to effect the Season. We can't afford for this to happen for sure.

Heard on the news. A 1st response commander said he had never seen 7,000 calls for EMS before in a day, he said that's more then 911 - - and he said they had been getting those amounts of call for 7 days in a row now.

I hate to be the Debbie downer here BUT, my opinion, well actually more then just me but I don't think we are any where close to getting a grip on this thing. I think this thing I think will drag out for months, - it's just mass chaos , I mean this thing is now hitting our Military really hard , I think they said there are now 675 positive cases , You have these two Cruise line ships that are loaded with positive cases , have dead people on board and begging to be able to dock and yet have not been given permission to dock - - -we have just huge numbers of field hospitals there are other things in play too but just feel like they are a long ways from getting things under control sad to say.

@FarmerJayhawk mizzou is a great comparison! Their gov. Wouldn’t do anything til to late, now a disaster state. Nobody here can really argue w/Kelly! In fact a lot of mizzou people are praising her.

I have no problem with what Gov Kelly has done.

Barring a shocker, we have our 13.

This is kind of disappointing to me. There is a boat load of talent on the transfer market that could help this team next year.

I wouldn't give up hope yet. I think you might be surprised, especially the way staff has attacked this the last couple of years, not going to take just anyone - -BUT if it is a right fit it can still very easily happen

@Woodrow said in Dok Dok Dok Dok Dok:

I can not imagine how lonely it has to be for Doke, Silvio, and any student stuck on campus right now with no family around. That would just be brutal. I am Self has them over fir dinner a couple times a week or something, but damn that makes me sad.

Makes you and me both sad buddy - - -very sad

Pretty sad to see that we have become the leader in the Entire world for the amount of confirmed cases with this Corona Virus - - EVEN MORE then China had.

Last count was the Us now has 83,545 confirmed cases and 1,201 deaths. - thing is the WHO say people need to be ready for more outbreaks like what is currently going on in NY.

We area long ways from this being over dammit.

The Doctors were talking this morning , and they are starting to find evidence that in some of the Southern Countries are entering they're Winter Seasons that the virus is starting to pick up some cases being seen.

This is drawing them to the conclusion that the Corona Virus may very well be a seasonal virus , just like the flu If that's truly the case just makes it that much more vital that they get this vaccine in place they are trying to find
