@kjayhawks I think the length is just to make Pelosi suffer for delaying it.
Public service announcement: SOTU still going on.

Wade got blocked by the rim
The only defender we have that can get that high.
@tundrahok I think jayballer knew his family.
Van Gundy in post-snack stupor.
@Bwag Do you have a Still Water when we play O State? Drink Captain Morgan for WVU?
What is in a Waco?

I'm really glad we don't get Dakich doing our games very often. Tonight during the great Illini win over MSU Dakich says "there's a three team race in the BIG, MSU, Purdue, and Michigan, and maybe Wisconsin" Wisconsin is currently tied for 2nd with MSU, one game back.
Well, he is regular in that conference and they also can't count to 10, so what do you expect? Not that we can talk...
@KUSTEVE I am always shocked how long some guys have been out of college bb...old, old, I feel old. Then I see the grade school kids in the stands, and feel even older.

Van Gundy is just there for the buffet. Right now he's wandering around saying, "There IS a buffet, right?'
Trough.

Mood in the Octagon of Impending Doom seems subdued
Maybe no one else is going to that kid's party either.
@approxinfinity The behind the back was as shockingly successful as it was entirely unnecessary.

Grimes is the worst defender I've seen
Here's you're original comment I responded to. You said nothing about offense. So again, Brannen Greene was worse defender than Grimes.
Hmmmmm.....could Greene actually ever have been considered a defender?
@kjayhawks In considering new horizons, check out NYT, WPost, and WSJournal online discounts. They almost all have really cheap specials for under $10 month for anywhere from 1 to 6 months. You can cancel their autorenewals and rotate to a different one.
But, for a broad exposure that can be enlightening and entertaining, here is a website that is free that contains dozens of columnists from papers all over, and representing every part of the political spectrum. As well as advice, religion, business, science, medical and general knowledge articles, and (important to those of us without a local paper worth buying) COMICS--which often have more wisdom than the sages themselves. Explore the drop menu in the upper left because it contains many treasures--don't just look at the links on the home page.

@kjayhawks Geez, thanks. Now HEM is going to go on a rant about how Jamari failed even against a little guy to hold position under the basket.
@jayballer73 Take a deeeeeep breath, remember that it is only as important as you make it, don't take everything so personally, remember the Jayhawk can fight its own battles, and try, just try, to find joy in all those other things life gives you. Getting this wrought up over any sport cannot be healthy for you, but more immediately, do you have any fun? That should be the point!
WOW! This must have happened while I was switching to the other game last night
so I missed the excitement. Trying to meet Coach Muggins best expectations, apparently.

Beat them sheep lovers!
Maybe we can confuse the crowd and the team by having KU fans wear these:

On the other hand, it should only be fans swift enough to flee for their safety in the ensuing chaos.
@wissox By the NCAA's standards, I guess KU would have grounds to sue SDS since he was the beneficiary of the financial felonies committed by Grasswhatzizname.
@kjayhawks KU fans showing up should wear red KU-logo hats and sneak Jayhawk decals onto any MAGA hats they see.
@BeddieKU23 That WVU collapse was a strong recruiting impetus for getting guards of Carter's caliber again.
@kjayhawks I was hoping maybe the campus in Manhattan may be more conservative, so a lot of fans might be watching the speech and will cheer at odd times--confusing their team.
@wissox Actually, the NYPost column performs a nice slight of hand, choosing to start with sympathy for SDS being punished despite no evidence he knew anything (student punished for imputed responsibility for guardian's acts), and then attacking head coaches for not being punished when their assistant coaches have committed recruiting violations (HC not held to imputed responsibility for asst coach's acts). Includes Self in the discussion of coaches not being punished.
Conveniently skipping that missing nexus in the SDS case between the two things that give rise to his unbrage: no involvement of any KU employee or assistant coach in the payment scheme.
Total crap. If the payer was a booster, that requires a different analysis into how aware the school (and HC) should have been, but this jerk conflates all of it.
Law may involve technicalities but outrage like this is just freaking stupid.
@jayhawkcsg I have read other schools fan boards and there are glitches for many recruits for lots of schools. Kentucky fans are sure the NCAA has it in for them and that Calipari is always in their crosshairs. I have seen more than a few comments wishing Cal was handled with kid gloves like Self.
This was before the Adidas stuff came out. I am sure they are gleeful now, but I haven't checked.
All fans bitch about how easy it is for the other schools. "Envy" may be one of the 7 deadly sins not highlighted much outside Othello, but it is rampant on the internet.
@bcjayhawk They have an excellent piano player played by Michael Douglas in an HBO movie.
@Bwag The NCAA let it go upon finding that academic integrity was not corrupting UNC's athletic competitiveness.
@nuleafjhawk If you are using a smat phone instead of a tablet or PC, you will have to scroll the icons at the top (the bolface, italics, etc) over two items to unveil the upload icon. The emoji icon is the first hidden one, upload with cloud and arrow is the next one. I spent months before I discovered the invisible part of the icon bar.
@BeddieKU23 They might, at best, give him back second semester next year, I think. It would show people they are sensitive to all the criticism they have gotten (sure they are), but would let people know the bully is still in the room & still plans on randomly taking kids' lunch money.
If so, and if SDS stays through next year, his pattern of availability over these 3 seasons would be odd. By semester: no, yes, no, no, no, yes. And if magic exists in the universe, he stays yet another year (yes, yes), and leaves with 2 NC's when he grads in 2021.
@approxinfinity All he said is that Atlanta made his career. Since he capped his career there, it could mean anything -- except the fake quote, since he relished his admission to the Ring of Honor and obviously enjoyed the Arrowhead adulation as he drummed at the Chargers game.
@Fightsongwriter I am hoping you are Matt. If you are George, we need to get together and submit some doctor for a Nobel Prize!

The Fight Song
"I'm a Jayhawk," written in 1912 by KU graduate George "Dumpy" Bowles, became popular with KU students in 1920. The lyrics remained unchanged until 1958, when slight revisions included rival schools in the Big Eight Conference. After longtime rivals Nebraska and Colorado in June 2010 announced plans to leave the Big 12 Conference, KU alumni asked the Alumni Association about adapting the lyrics after 50 years. Future conference changes will not automatically dictate further changes to the lyrics.
The songwriting contest's winning entry, authored by Matt Schoenfeld, talks about the Sooners, the Cowboys and the seven other rivals that remained in the changing Big 12 Conference. A panel of judges selected Schoenfeld's rendition from six finalists. His lyrics alter the first verse and one line of the chorus:
"I'm A Jayhawk" (October 2010)
by Matt Schoenfeld
Talk about the Sooners, Cowboys and the Bears,
Aggies and the Tiger and his tail.
Talk about the Wildcats, and the Cyclone boys,
But I'm the bird to make 'em weep and wail.
Chorus:
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Up at Lawrence on the Kaw-
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
With a sis-boom, hip hoorah,
Got a bill that's big enough
To twist a Tiger's tail,
Rope some 'Horns and listen
To the Red Raiders wail-
'Cause I'm a Jay, Jay, Jay, Jay, Jayhawk,
Riding on a Kansas gale.
Congrats, by the way. Nicely done!
@Crimsonorblue22 Since 1966 after moving to KC. And a Royals fan since my dad went to the very first game in 1969. As a realistic Chiefs fan who suffered through the last several decades, I just cannot hold it against a player who sought better opportunities when the front office sucked so bad during TC's 12 years here.
@Crimsonorblue22 I saw that quote, which is nothing like the one you had about not liking the city or calling the franchise trash. Lots of overreactions by fans on this. KC and KU fans go wacko at anyone not pronouncing them just the absolute wonderfullest in the universe, as if they can only hear echoes of Howard Cosell talking about Cowtown in the 70's playoffs.
@Crimsonorblue22 Don't see it. Source for the quote?
The excellent news is our game is at the same time on Tuesday! Great timing for anyone like myself tired of the drama, the threats, the posturing, and the hysterics (all of these by virtually every politico, reporter, advisor, analyst, and commentator of every political bent)!!! When KU wins, it will be even better!
Fran did not say he approved, only that coaches were not surprised. I think coaches have no illusions about how unfair the NCAA is to athletes.
@Fightsongwriter Graduated HS in 1974. Height of the fad. Even made the Oscars. Drove a couple times--once while my friends "dared to be bared" at my English teacher's house, and another time when a friend was on a date at a Putt Putt.
Good old days!
@BeddieKU23 Seth is just all schtick in those segments. Just like Lee Corso in the ESPN football studio. Makes picks to liven up discussions & get people to laugh.
The same function in another type of circus is performed by an actual costumed clown. Let's send him a big red nose.
When did he say that? I hadn't heard about it. Entered the Ring of Honor in December:
https://arrowheadaddict.com/2018/12/13/tony-gonzalez-tribute-kansas-city-chiefs-ring-of-honor/ ↗
Tony Gonzalez and Johnny Robinson elected to HOF. Mahomes named MVP. A good group deserving of recognition!
@Texas-Hawk-10 Even Fran has lamented in a couple games that our passes to open guys lately have not been accurate, so the guy getting the pass isn't open by the time he gets to the ball. Today, they seemed to be quick and accurate so shots could be released quickly. That is the key to Vick.
@Crimsonorblue22 Then we should make a big deal about all of our efforts to keep him here long enough to get a degree. Include details of how he worked extra hard to enroll early, what his program is, our work to help this maligned kid in school, his grades, etc.
Basically show that we care more about him as a student athlete than the NCAA does when that is their alleged goal. And dispel any notion in the minds of potential recruits that KU would not stay committed to our own.
@Crimsonorblue22 I have wondered something that is connected to your question: Can Silvio stay at KU on schollie while being ruled ineligible?
@Crimsonorblue22 I think our strategy has been designed to allow us to continue asserting innocence without subjecting ourselves to a "lack of cooperation" finding. A tightrope indeed, and one we may find is not well anchored.
Edit: innocence and ignorance both
@HighEliteMajor I still don't think that suspicion is correct, and nothing leads me to suspect Self would be a target of the FBI.
I suggested from the first evidence in 2017 that if the Adidas rep was involved in steering recruits to KU he could possibly be held to be a booster. Maybe that is why I have not been as surprised at what has transpired since. Booster basically means (IIRC) anyone with whom the university has a formal or informal relationship who helps recruit for, raise funds for, or promotes the school with the school's knowledge. Schools are generally held responsible for supervising the conduct of boosters.
Here, there is in my mind no question based on the evidence from trial that the NCAA has a strong case on which to find the rep was a booster upon whom KU relied extensively for contact and influence in recruiting. I think our only arguable defense is that the booster was engaged in unforeseeable criminal conduct.
@Crimsonorblue22 It looks like it. But whether SDS signed off on that is not known. It does imply from the explanation that the NCAA accepts SDS' story of not knowing. But the FBI actually cleared Bowen, and that didn't matter, either.
@BShark I just hope a lead at halftime isn't bad news for us.
