@FarmerJayhawk Yeah - i should have said above and beyond the price you pay for cable/satellite/streaming/whatever.
@mayjay that's because people are inherently stupid
@SlimShaddy54 this right here - KUBUCKETS -is your only hope. You can vent and feel slightly better for 3 seconds. No college or professional sports organizations will do a thing. No government agency will do anything. "We" just elected a convicted criminal as president of the United States!
This is the way of the world. It's going to get worse.
Mark my words - 5 years from now no one will watch any sports on TV without paying for it
I'll bitch about it while I'm on my boat, fishing fishing.
@wissox I used to play wordle all the time until - not joking, no hyperbole, for seven days in a row the word was "demon". Yes, I deleted that game.
@kjayhawks we're bringing back everyone else. Let's do it. Be warned though - the games will be boring, winning by 20 instead of 2.
@BigBad Nope. KU has been exceedingly more prosperous, more Conference Championships, more National Championships, more overall success by a landslide than the Chiefs ever have.
Since you're not a Chiefs fan, you have the same attitude towards them that every other team not named Kansas has towards us - you hate them because they're highly successful.
There is an answer to that - be better.
@SlimShaddy54 One of these days the public will wise up. Hopefully. QUIT GOING TO THE DAMN GAMES. Quit watching. Quit listening. Make it so they have to pay US to attend. It's 100% bullshit and it's wrong to pay athletes like this. Has anyone ever had a friend or family member who was a Firefighter or Policeman and was killed in the line of duty? Has a Doctor or Surgeon ever saved your life? Hell - even a Plumber or HVAC guy is more important than these overpaid, self absorbed asswipes. Don't think so? Wait until your toilet won't flush and your A/C breaks down when it's 102 outside.
I'm sick of professional athletes. But I mean that in the nicest possible way.
@BigBad " I also understand you donβt win titles year after year "
Unless your name is UCONN
Or Kansas City Chiefs
@SlimShaddy54 probably not. Top 10 teams don't lose back to back games to unranked teams. We shouldn't be top 25.
I've heard this ........oh about 100 times so far today. And all season. YEP - they're lucky. They're the absolute worst 12-1 team in the history of the NFL. OH - did I mention that they're 12-1?
And your team is not.
@wissox lol. I'll bet the wife's input doesn't make much difference in this case
@wissox because of JD or the granddaughter? Lol
@kuballin10 I don't even cheer as hard as I did when Ol Roy was here. I am unmotivated.
@drgnslayr someone you used to know would call them pu$$ies
@mayjay I wasn't going to say anything. Mine was Five Man Electric Band. Or Tesla, I guess sigh
The sign said long haired freaky people need not apply. So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
Sorry. Just wanted to think happy thoughts for a minute
@approxinfinity I'm fixin to grab a couple of Christmas presents and then go hiking
@bskeet doesn't work when you're way the hell over-rated.
I hope they beat us 1,000 to 19. Looks like it could happen
LAWRENCE β Kansas football has its starting quarterback for the 2025 season, as Jalon Daniels has revealed he has decided to return for one more year in college.
(Topeka Capitol Journal)
Are we happy or sad?
@approxinfinity it's borderline insanity on my part
@kjayhawks I wonder if they can tell me why I've been in a dead end job for 27 years?
@kjayhawks rebuild from 5 - 7?
Yeah, I know what you mean though
@drgnslayr Hmm. Interesting. In case you don't already know, I've always liked and respected you. I may be misunderstanding this post though. Are you saying that Self didn't really coach to the best of his ability this game on purpose? Like, just let them play and see if they can figure it out? I mean, that's a possibility. If it were true though, I would have zero respect for him. Let them figure out how to come back from looking like complete morons by listening to good coaching - that would elevate him and the team. I don't know. It's early. I'm gonna go get some coffee....
We're doomed.
C'mon football season! π
@wissox The pitch clock should be 3 seconds. Ghost runners - who can see them? Bases should be the size of a standard playing card. The golden batter should only be available at fast food restaurants.
Folks, I did everything I could to help.
I went to bed at halftime, just like I did during the UNC National Championship game.
Didn't work this time.
I have a good Thanksgiving story (I think).
My wife (who is an extraordinary cook) put the turkey in the oven 7:30-ish Thursday morning. At 11:30 she checked and said "hmmm..the turkey is only at 72β°". I thought -great, guess I'm buying a new stove. An hour later she checked again and it was 92β°. My son said "Mom, can I see that thermometer? You see the "C" and "F" ? Try it on "F".
Piss on this. Wheel of Fortune is on.
@approxinfinity That's the scariest damn thing I've seen/ heard since Ass-Face was elected.
Are you referring to "Duke" as in British Royalty or as in fighting - "duke it out" ? That's the only dukes I know. Besides Dukes of Hazzard and I gotta leave a duke in the toilet.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah. We probably would have wound up something like 5-7 with him at the helm. My bad.
@wissox :crying_face: :crying_face:
@Texas-Hawk-10 the "star" ratings aren't Always the most reliable judge of a player's ability. 55 tds and 5,000-ish yards in one season says something. He was recruited by a lot of too ranked teams.
@wissox my oldest is 42, youngest is 34. My dad will be 89 in February.
@FarmerJayhawk can you just stop with sensibility and rationality and let me have my way?:beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:
I'm curious about why this guy is sitting on the bench.
Isaiah Marshall
H.S. Athletic Background
2023: Had 3,114 yards and 39 touchdowns passing with 1,507 yards and 16 rushing touchdowns while leading his team to a state title.
@wissox ??? You're leaving this nail biter? Wow
@Texas-Hawk-10 great
I just turned the TV on. What happened?
@stoptheflop we'll get to the Super Bowl and Mahomes will be 38/38 for 635 yards, 7 TD's and no interceptions ......and we'll lose on a 72 yard field goal with no time left on the clock.
We're going to be the worst 3-peat Super Bowl Champs in the history of the NFL
@kjayhawks not in the same book
@rockchalkjayhawk #64 is the master of the lookout block
@rockchalkjayhawk you'll have stories to tell! In fact, you just did!
@SlimShaddy54 my point is Dickinson got fouled first so he should have gotten something.
@stoptheflop I'm pretty sure we didn't get the ball or any free throws. Like I said ... blow job
@stoptheflop that was the initial call. Brown fouls Dickinson. Then the fake grazing call made Brown's foul disappear. The refs blew it all the way around. It was a blow job.
@kjayhawks I hope they feel like that too
@approxinfinity Happy Thanksgiving! Know that you and your efforts are much appreciated!
