@jayballer54 Well.... you must quite a bit older than me buddy lol. I prob remember the 98 team as my earliest following. I was only 9 years old that season, I remember watching on our old wood grain TV when we had 4 channels. I thought they were going to win the whole damn thing that year so many good players. Kenny Gregory, Raef, Pierce and Billy Thomas who I got to meet when he played for the Cagerz in Salina, great guy. You dont really hear about these guys coming back alot ether. I know Paul came back for legends of the PHOG game and Billy was in the pregame video at one time.

Who gets an interview first? • Dec 01, 2016 04:07 PM

@justanotherfan I'd be okay with Helfrich here as OC, doubt we could get him what you think?

Vick is developing beautifully, but.... • Dec 01, 2016 04:53 AM

@YellowBeak Indiana ended up winning, and yes @jaybate-1.0 isn't always entertaining but you get what you pay for and he's pretty good for being free.

@drgnslayr He defiantly is the best at that

Firing of Charlie Strong Racist? • Dec 01, 2016 03:58 AM

@mayjay Neither one is correct and as most of our parents said growing up two wrongs don't make a right. The longer last effect depends on curtain situations. I'm on no side of as I only believe in one race the human race and anyone that would blame the history on racism on current people just for being white is dumber than the floor I stand on. Here's a newsflash for you both ancestors made mistakes, one sold their own people to be enslaved and the others let it happen. I guess I don't quite get your point, what is it? because racism exist it makes it okay to accuse everyone on the other side racist? Because that in itself is racist. I guess I don't understand why its not okay for me to get pissed for being constantly accused of being racist because of my color. Please never reply to me again I have no need to ever discuss anything with someone so simple minded thank you.

Firing of Charlie Strong Racist? • Dec 01, 2016 03:46 AM

@justanotherfan I agree with most of what you said friend. The Turner Gill thing is hard to say, to be blunt he had no right to get his crazy contract after one good season at buffalo. He was beaten by an FCS first game out and flatout had the talent to win 5 games IMO, hell he won 3(has one winning season between 6 years at KU and Buffalo). I wanted him to succeed, he was a great guy, I loved his character. Just didn't agree with his coaching or how he let his players struggle in the classroom and as citizens. He seemed lost at press conferences , our players were way outta shape.All this being said I think he should've been given his 3rd year. Weis ruined his program Gill could recruit just couldn't do much else.

HEY GUYS • Dec 01, 2016 01:37 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 put some around you air box, also if you have a garage go buy a sonic mouse preventer, you can get them at Walmart they plug in to the wall and make a noise that bugs mice and keep them away.

Firing of Charlie Strong Racist? • Dec 01, 2016 01:35 AM

@ralster I'm getting so tired of the racist BS, Strong was fired because he couldn't beat teams like KSU and KU that have 2 or 3 star guys compared to Texas's 5 star and top 10 recruiting classes. I remember Charles Barkley claiming KU was racist for firing Gill lol. Every white person is racist that's the new in this world.

@Crimsonorblue22 Put poison in your car, this time a year we get a ton of cars with mice trouble, I've seen some nasty things that can happen when they get into the blower motor. Believe me you never wanna clean that mess or chase wires that they may have chewed thru.

Vick is developing beautifully, but.... • Dec 01, 2016 01:20 AM

@jaybate-1.0 Bmac wouldn't be the #1 option on this team IMO

Kaepernick on Castro • Dec 01, 2016 01:13 AM

@justanotherfan Most people don't want to deal with side show bs some pretty good players that were considerably better than kaep didn't last

@wrwlumpy thought Drew brees went to Purdue

Thoughts from the game • Nov 30, 2016 06:42 PM

Well first off Vick can flat out play, he looked like a NBA guy the last two outings. We should stick with this 4 guard line up because our guards are rebounding better than our bigs, some have mentioned a issue with guarding a good big with this line up. I look at the Georgia game and see how we were killed bye a decent big while playing ours. We have may have 4 of the best guards in country IMO. This team has the ability to shoot the heck outta the ball, I think we did fall in love with the 3 a little too much especially with Svi who started 4/6 but finished 4/10, which is still a good percentage but he wasn't set on most of his shots later in the game. JJ and Doka have to work on their FTs sooner rather than later, JJ is too good of a player to shoot sub 60% from the line. Our bigs still look lost most of the time, I thought Doka had a good stretch in the second but will have trouble scoring against most B12 caliber teams. Whats with Bragg? He did have a decent stretch as well, but doesn't seem to have his normal quickness or bounce and it shows. All of our bigs are out of position on defense most of the time, and rebounding position too which has lead to silly fouls and offensive rebounds for opposing teams. Our defense as a team was great in the first half, we didn't really have the same intensity in the second which happens when your up 30 points. One other thing that I like is how hard JJ plays when he is on the floor, 3 minutes left in a 30 point game and is getting on the floor for a loose ball. Mason finally showed he was human lol, I actually think we are a better team when he doesn't have to take over and score 20 plus points. DG was solid on both ends quietly had 12 points, I'm just waiting for the game he explodes for 30 but I'll take his 13 point average with 5 assists. To me we really need atleast on big to step up and earn their keep for us to come close to this teams ceiling.

@Crimsonorblue22 But yes he's not regrets PHOF

@Crimsonorblue22 Izzo teams are always a threat to make the FF, even if they have a slow start. Izzo is one of my favorite coaches not named Bill Self.

@approxinfinity Interesting take for Jay if you play bad you lose......

@approxinfinity WSU played a D2 college tonight in Southern Nazarene. Tough schedule.

@approxinfinity They couldn't win a two man sack race without help from the zebras

@jaybate-1.0 I think we are a better team from Frank doesn't have to take over and score 20+ points. I think when he's scoring in the low teens we are more of a monster to guard. @Fightsongwriter Rebounding is 10% skill 90% want to, I'm almost 6'2, I out rebounded guys 5 inches taller in my day as you said doing your work before the shot to get in position is a lot of it.

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 03:13 AM

Dook and MSU in a tight one, first half tho. Funny thing about the ACC/B10 challenge is that if the ACC is soo good how come they have lost everyone since 08?

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:56 AM

@BShark Agreed

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:49 AM

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:45 AM

@approxinfinity Guy fouled the hell outta him first lol

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:38 AM

Bragg looks good as does Doke, LL better wake up or he's not gonna get a ton of minutes

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:31 AM

FT shooting contest between Doke and Riggins who wins lol

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:21 AM

WOW 13/18 from 3, thats tough to do wide open in practice

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:14 AM

@BeddieKU23 Very lazy on the glass too, lucky it aint a 10 point game, would be without hot shooting.

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:02 AM

JJ is the hardest playing OAD we have ever had hands down to this point up by 20 get rebounds and blocks.

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 02:01 AM

@RockChalkinTexas Cuz hes a menace on Defense!! lol

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:57 AM

@BeddieKU23 Doke's FTs gonna drop from 30% at this point

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:54 AM

@KUSTEVE Gutsy my my friend lol

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:52 AM

Rebounds KU 22 LBSU 7, KU shooting 67% from the floor and 64% from 3 :fire:

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:50 AM

Bigs dont look good but if our guards play like this it wont matter

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:40 AM

that Doke FT would've took the average guys head off lol

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:36 AM

COOKING!!

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:30 AM

Vick is one athletic guy wow.

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:23 AM

@BeddieKU23 Can't argue that I wonder if anyone will hack a shaq him at some point.

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:22 AM

JJ is the best OAD passer ever!!

KU vs LBSU • Nov 30, 2016 01:14 AM

@BeddieKU23 Smooth drive bye Vick as well

Post season awards for KU Volleyball • Nov 30, 2016 12:45 AM

Kelsie Payne wins B12 POY, Cassie Wait wins libero of the year, Ainise Havili setter of the year and Last but not least Coach Bechard wins COY. I would willing to bet that atleast Payne gets all american status. We still have more trophies to get lets go ladies.

HEY GUYS • Nov 29, 2016 08:55 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Its huge because starting this year the top 4 seeds host their regional, so if we win three times and they do we play in their house.

KU wins 90-66, But the better guess is how many dunks does doka get? I say 6, also does he break a rim this year?

If I Were In Charge At Misery • Nov 29, 2016 06:46 PM

If I was in charge of Fizzou lol......

couple of amusing /interesting games • Nov 29, 2016 06:44 PM

@mayjay agreed lol Cwebbs had to be called

HEY GUYS • Nov 29, 2016 06:43 PM

@JayHawkFanToo I agreed about WSUs seeding that year, they should have been a 4 or 5 and we should've been a 3 with Cliff out and Perry not a 100%. Us winning the same conference would have been to me the deciding factor, playing against the same teams, with a better record. Purdue wasn't a terrible lost at the time idk where they ended up but was ranked 14th when we lost to them on the road. I just feel like the deck was stacked against as it is in BB most of the time. @mayjay I can see some of what your saying, I tend to agree more with @ralster. But it's not worth an argument, I'm fine not using it and I'm ok to agree to disagree with anyone.

couple of amusing /interesting games • Nov 29, 2016 06:31 PM

I saw the Bryant game and that's really inexcusable for a college athlete, @mayjay I think the Cwebb timeout is something that happens more often but most refs wont give you the TO. I'd say Morgan State missed some free ones in that game.
