@JayHawkFanToo Careful, with the HotLine Bromance in full bloom, the NSA is likely to add anti-Russian comments to the Alert list....

@betterfireE Remember, someone deleted all those old posts from last Spring. Now we know why!!
@JayHawkFanToo The fascinating thing about that chart is that two of the top 12, #3 Cedric Hunter and #12 Mark Turgeon, were there at the exact same time, 1984-87.
And from 85 to 87 they overlapped with that little guy at #19, kid named Manning, whose scoring might have had a little to do with Hunter's and Turgeon's places on the list.
@JayHawkFanToo Interestingly, although we watched and heard Frank Martin screaming at his players many times, afterwards he blamed himself. Said they were too tired because he ran them too hard in practice.
If he ever looked at me the way he glares at his players, I think my soul would shrivel up and die.
@JayHawkFanToo NCAA might stop Wichita from hosting. More likely than rescheduling teams from California.
But this thread makes me wonder--
Does the Calif legislature allow their state funds to be used in other states to rent cars that don't meet California emissions standards?
Can California state funds be used to buy products with "chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer"?
The number of ways these restrictions could be extended are legion!

lots of spousal capital
As it turns out, not so much! Really wasn't a game worth staying for (SC had 10 FGs entire freaking 4 OT game??) so I was just laughing too hard at the irony to be able to cash in with any real "look what you did" pouting. No new car. (Maybe I can get Fran to buy me one for trying to defend his trouble-making self?)
@JayHawkFanToo I was just crying because I knew you had (sniff) forgotten me......
@JayHawkFanToo Whitey? I love how appropos, if not PC, typos can be!

he’s really playing up the underdog mentality.
All announcers play up the underdog stuff. You don't get high ratings for blowouts that were expected all along. UConn women dominate, but those shows are low rated anyway. How huge would it be if someone, say SC, were to have a real chance of breaking that streak? As Wilt says, nobody loves Goliath.
Commenting on how you beat KU? We all did the same thing after Baylor--"why abandon the inside game in the 2nd half?"--and KSU--"why have Stokes shoot when Wade has been killing us?" We aren't perfect, but Board Rats act as if Fran should be a KU fan. He ain't.
I have paid careful attention to the conference games this year where Fran is on. In this past KSU game, I counted six or seven straight compliments early on that he gave to KU or KU players. On the Board, people griped when he pointed out Frank started out poorly. The entire nation, and the comments on the Board, noticed it, but when Fran commented on it, he was accused of bias and got reamed. He has incessantly pushed Frank as a leading candidate for POY, but people here keep griping about his tweet last year.
I think y'all only look at those things that buttress your dislike of him. Confirmation bias.
Someone said that no KU fans like him. Sorry--wrong! Not everything he says, and sometimes he is an idiot. Sometimes each of us has said something stupid (I know, everyone thinks this is one of mine). Besides, please direct me to an announcer who has no flaws?
@BeddieKU23 Remember, I am on record as believing he can be learning a lot during this time. I would expect he is at least going through the steps of certain plays, watching tape, learning grit and competitiveness from the vets, and (hopefully) building up lower and core body (and opposing hand) strength while his wrist heals. He can also be focused on school, which can't hurt for any freshman. I would love to hear if he was in dance classes to develop more agility in his legs and hips.

The injury does open the possibility up that he won’t be ready to leave. I really hope he’s around more then just next year.
I hope he is ready to leave skill-wise because that would mean next year is huge for him!
@justanotherfan The Solutions are too Final, in my view, and depend way too much on trying to redefine what patriotism is. If you support them, you are a patriot. If not, you are an Enemy.
It reminds me of the Mad Magazine parody in the late 1950's of The Rifleman (a Chuck Connors western, for you youngsters).
Luke and son Mark are walking down the road while Luke is explaining how he is trying to bring peace to the West. An old sodbuster says, "Mornin', Luke" and Luke turns and blasts the poor guy full of those 3-D see-through bullet holes Mad's artists were so fond of.
"Why, Pa? Why'd you shoot 'im? ? I thought you were trying to bring peace to the West?" cries Mark.
"Son, there ain't nothin' more peaceful than a dead man."
@RockChalkinTexas Solutions in search of a problem.... :unamused:
@JayHawkFanToo "I wish the politicians would stay out of sports altogether…they have enough other things to screw up,"
In states with a constitution that limits the number of legislature session days, there is a line of thought that if you let the crazy lawmakers run amuck, maybe, just maybe, they will bog everything down with personal peeve-motivated crap so that they don't have time to screw things up across the board.
@drgnslayr The link worked for me, but I had to scroll down through about 20 other bb articles.
@drgnslayr But can he avoid overhelping and cover his man on a kick-out?
@wissox Actually, at UK I think they live in the parking lot.....
Game over. SC lost.
I am sure local broadcasters will say the usual "And no one has left the arena!" which is, of course, a lie....
We had fun. And we aren't stuck in the parking lot!!!
@JayHawkFanToo She hasn't let me buy my new car......
@JayHawkFanToo 1st FOUR overtime game in 114 years of SC basketball. New SC individual point scoring record (Thornwell, 44 pts--and counting)..... Maybe we should go back to the arena?
Triple OT!! My wife is sitting there laughing like a drunken leprachaun! At least we can watch on SEC network.
She wanted to stop watching in 2008 with 3 min left but I wouldn't let her. Fortunately, we don't care too much about SC...but leaving a 3 OT game? SHE WILL NEVER LIVE THIS DOWN!
1st lesson for my wife in "Don't leave a game behind by 10 pts with 3:45 left just because your wife wants to get out of the parking lot": now in double OT.
@JayHawkFanToo 3:21 left 1st half. SC down 28-11. Unfortunately we moved closer.
By the way, not impressed with the collective bb IQ of the audience. Booed and did the Bull---- chant when a SC player dribbled with his right hand, got it back with the right, then shifted the ball to his left hand before dribbling again. Possiblt never saw a blatant dbl dribble before?
@JayHawkFanToo SEC Basketball could fill a jr high gym.
@Crimsonorblue22 My wife said we need the exercise......
@JayHawkFanToo That was a dirty blow. We wouldn't be there.
So, my wife got free tickets to SC vs Alabama. Great seats, huh? At least we are only in the next-to-last row! Just a slight, eenie-meenie possibility we will move down later...
First place? Where the hell is everyone? 50 min until tip!

@wissox How about, KU hasn't lost two straight in the same season since 2013?

The one on JJ at the Kitties end when he was called for a reach in was BS
I watched that in super-slo about 10 times. I think his shoulder may have barely grazed the other guy but they should have shown another angle.
Future sports feature: people have access to other camera feeds.
@Crimsonorblue22 Especially by hitting the left shoulder on a right-handed shot.
@DanR I have gone to McD's enough times in my life to help you average a lot of visits. Glad to help!
@approxinfinity Only 6 TOs for us? Idiot shots don't count, I guess. 5 blocks for KSU vs 0 for the good guys.
@globaljaybird Didn't know that history. I enjoyed having the Times in the morning and Star in evening way, way back when. Anyone remeber when they still had Bill Vaughn and carried Mike Royko?
@Crimsonorblue22 He laughed on the last one, pointing at his own chest. I never know if he is laughing like "Effin' Refs!" or like "I tried!"
Why is Alfa Romeo hitting the sponsorship role so hard? Is their $37k sedan new?
KCStar will say HCBS was hiding something dark and evil in that interview.

Bragg looks mean and focused.
Doesn't look goofy while playing anymore. Maybe not high, just "up" for game?
@Eric-san I read somwhere that Americans often put the emphasis on the next to last syllable of foreign words. I know I do!
@Eric-san He knows foreign languages better than me. And talks to Svi. Maybe his is right?

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't think they make Grape students take an IQ test for entrance, do they?
No. There is no one there capable of grading them.
@drgnslayr So, I was wondering who Michael Buffer was. Then I remembered Google!
@wissox I sometimes google and discover something, discuss it, and then people elaborate with new info. Not too much to suggest adding to the discussion by the initiator, too.
Could have gone: "I was wondering about Joey Meyers. He replaced his dad, but was never successful. What's the story there? How can DePaul not be successful in a bb hotbed like ChiTown?" Resulting in probably all types of discussion about everything from Ray's weird teeth to the local coach you shared about.
Instead, it was a request for info on a list of 4 guys with no reason for anyone to return the interest in them except to reflect whatever research the reader was forced to do. I wasn't offended by his request, but I think he has no right to be so sensitive when someone suggested he could look it up as well as anyone. For someone wanting interaction, it isn't out of line to expect civility!
@jayballer54 I had no problem with you asking, and you know I have always had fun with you in good humor, but I too was thinking of suggesting you just google it. Not meanly, but because it really would have been easier for you. It doesn't make you seem more victimized if you always blast people. It just makes me leery of saying anything because I never know if there is an explosion waiting in reply.
His post that caused you to explode this time was simply explaining what GIYF means, which people have also said to other posters, including me. You said you didn't know!
Why so angry? It is like being around someone with 4 cans already out of the sixpack he is lugging around in a bar parking lot, spoiling for a fight.
@chriz Remember our last star who couldn't close out worth a darn for at least his soph and jr seasons? So frustrating! I think he got better senior year...hint, from Wichita....
@drgnslayr said:
They didn’t have a plan in place to stop it or limit it. Big fines get their attention quickly!
Yeah, but who would plan on a court storming in a game against VCU? Except the Morri twins, perhaps?
@HawkChamp I meant the alias.....Kellyanne.
@jaybate-1.0 Mention how much you admired Jack Hartman, Mike Evans, Chuckie Williams, Mitch Richmond, and Rolando Blackman. Also, how cool is it for KSU that two other Big 12 schools have KSU alums as coaches.
Every fan likes visitors who show they respect the host.
@jaybate-1.0 She particularly is entitled to use alternative aliases.
@cragarhawk said:
Then I think maybe what 4 TOS on JJ when he tried to go to the hole and just got stripped
I am tired of his one-handed missed dunks... And getting fouled doesn't help if you miss FTs. I would prefer a protected-ball layup and a foul.
@HawkChamp I don't see lazy. Occasionally stupid (perhaps "ill-advised" is better?) but they are always moving. Just not to the right places sometimes....
