🏀 KuBuckets Archive

@BShark Spiritual stuff is a real thing for a lot of people. Including me. I haven't watched him enough to know if he's cheesy and phony.

@cragarhawk I hope you're Rock Chalk Chanting at halftime!!

@cragarhawk If we don't win - it's KU policy to refund your money. Just talk to Bill and tell him I said it was ok.

@Jethro WAIT! - Maybe they HAVE been smoking weed before the game. If that's the case, they should stop.

They need to smoke some weed before the game. Get basketball out of their minds and just PLAY. A three game losing streak for KU is much more mental than anything they're doing. I'm pretty sure they can all ball or they wouldn't be in Lawrence.

@mayjay Add me to the list - I'm 64. And I know in my heart I can play D-1 ball. Also, I could start for Mahomes Sunday if he can't go.

I might as well get in on this delightful conversation.

What Self really ought to do is win. Not lose.

That's what I'd do.

@approxinfinity Let's hope!

My blood pressure is so much lower after deciding not to watch the games live. I look at the score after the game is over. If we won, I watch it (no commercials), if we lost, I go for a hike, go grocery shopping, go to a movie...

Sure, call me a fair weather fan. But it works for me. And I'll live long enough to not watch them lose again.

@wissox Pretty hard to tell KSU jokes right now. Although, their Livestock Judging team is backsliding pretty badly right now.

@drgnslayr Hate to Lose. Everyone should love to win.

@approxinfinity dude - don't watch that crap later. Watch something uplifting like Saw, Se7en or the Dahmer series.

@dylans Dusty Dinkleman - from the movie Just Friends with Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart and Anna Farris. He was a loser in High School who got a good job and much better looking, but was still a loser. Dusty Dinkleman

@drgnslayr F-NO

@Crimsonorblue22 OK. Pinkie swear you won't tell anyone. I listened to a couple of minutes of Jerome Tang's post game interview and had to shut it off. I was starting to like him a little.

@drgnslayr I'm having to re-think my whole life the past couple of days. I thought I was a good person, but there is no scenario where I want K-State to excel at anything.

@drgnslayr I feel like you're slipping over to the dark side....

@jayballer67 About KSU not being a 15 pt pushover.

@BeddieKU23 I didn't watch the game last night (yes, I am communist. And it was my wife's birthday). But FF has been blatantly anti-KU in every game he's called this year. He takes great pleasure in watching us do poorly. I was going to say get beat, but that rarely happens.

You were right. I was wrong.

@kuballin10 @Jethro or @nuleafjhawk? Oh yeah, the KU fans.

@DanR Once upon a time I used to go to a K-State game just because it's relatively cheap entertainment (or was) and because it's relatively close to where I live. It didn't necessarily have to be a KU game - I'd go watch them play anybody. And they are AWFUL fans. Uniformed, rude, and just not fun to be around. Tang isn't going to change that. Siloh Tech on the Kaw is not going to change.

@jayballer67 You're pretty funny. I'm the one who needs to relax? Good one! I'm not the one who's always SCREAMING and name calling. In case you hadn't noticed, this is a KU forum. I'm allowed to hate K-State. I'm going to do it anyway, if I'm allowed or not.

Thanks for your "just breathe" advise. You should take some yourself.

@jayballer67 So, TCU is capable of beating them by 14, but we can't beat them by 15? Just go ahead and award the Big 12 title to TCU now then, I guess.

@jayballer67 Sure - give them all the credit in the world. Love on Mizzou and Kentucky while you're at it.

@DanR said in The next 8 games:

It’s their biggest game of the year, but just another road game for KU.

Finally!! Someone gets it.

It's K-frickin-State. At the Octagon of Dumb. Who gives a crap? We will go in there and beat them by 15 and all the Purple Pu$$ie$ will whine about the officiating (on their home court), call Self a Cheater and Dick a dick and we will win, like we always do. IT'S K-STATE people. Quit giving them credit.

@wissox A million dollars is ever so slightly more than half my salary. Otherwise.....

@BeddieKU23 Best Iowa State post ever.

@drgnslayr There must be something wrong with me. I LOVE smacking down KSU every single game. The greater the beatdown, the more I love it. There's nothing worse to me than a 1 point game. Or in football - a 2 point game. After 3 overtimes.

@drgnslayr I don't disagree with much that you say...until now. I friggin HATE K-State. I hope they lose every game from now until eternity. In football, basketball and I even hope the Livestock Judging team starts mistaking pigs for cows.

I will donate half my yearly salary forever to bring back Bruce.

@AsadZ They are Dusty Dinkleman

@RockkChalkk It was an ad about a dead horned frog, on it's back, apparently ready to be dissected.

@drgnslayr Austin is a lot like Lawrence, reversed. They live, breathe and bleed Longhorn football and tolerate basketball. I'm not saying this strictly because I'm a Jayhawk. I lived in Austin for a year, my dad's been there for 40 or so. It's the way it is.

@Gorilla72 I didn't, but I could have. I was 14 in 1972

@Crimsonorblue22 Truth be told, I've flipped off Marcus Smart a lot more than that...

@Gorilla72 Lol - you must be as old as I am.

@jayballer67 KU 78

                  Pussycat U - 62

@wissox mmmmm -- I'm gonna hold off on the GOAT thing for a while. I mean he's pretty good, but if he could win - say - 14 consecutive Big 12 Titles and a couple of National Championships then, yeah - I'm on board.

For 2023 how do we top a National Championship and a Bowl Game?

How about two National Championships!!!

Have a safe and happy 2023 fellow Bucketeers!

@jayballer67 I hope the Big 12 keeps sucking tomorrow.

@Hawk69 Yeah. I know Bean is beating himself up, but he would never have been in that position if it weren't for all the turnovers.

Now I'm hoping that there are 108 points scored in the Sugar Bowl on Saturday. All by Alabama. ROLL TIDE!!

@BShark Sounds like me after any KU loss. Especially to KSU, which fortunately doesn't happen often.

@AsadZ I root for a scoreless tie.

@kuballin10 Praying for your dad. My dad also lost a kidney to cancer a few years ago. The man has had everything that can go wrong with someone go wrong. Over his lifetime, he's burned his legs so badly they said he'd never walk again (they were wrong), he's broken more bones than I can even count. He's had bladder cancer 6 or 7 times (they treat it with live tuberculosis!!!). He's got melanoma on his head and it's awful. His back, neck and spine are deteriorating and he's in constant pain.

The thing is - every one of us is going to have stuff go wrong if we live long enough. I pray to God that my attitude is as good as my Dad's if I start having these kinds of problems. If he ever gets frustrated, he never shows it. He just accepts it, goes to the next doctor's appointment and starts planning the next cruise or trip to Las Vegas.

@mayjay My son graduated from K-State with a degree in Computer Engineering. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the University as it pertains to educating young people.

But, my son isn't interested in sports so I have always had "permission" to hate their sports programs with a passion.

And I do.

@jayballer67 I wish they'd cancel the stupid Chief's game that I'm supposed to go to Saturday

@mayjay Seems like you're taking it personally - sorry about that. I hate K-State. They are not relevant to me. They are Dusty Dinkleman. That's all I have to say. Have a good day.

@mayjay "KSU's superiority in football"

Best laugh I've had in a while. As bad as we've sucked lately, we still lead the all time series 65-51-5. Or whatever number you look at. Every site seems to report different numbers - but we're ahead in all of them.

There is no scenario anywhere ever where I root for KSU.

@wissox We lived in Houston in the early-mid 80's. We spent a ton of time at the Astrodome and we had a blast!! The right field tickets were $2. Parking was free, I believe. Hot dogs and beer were a couple of bucks each. And the place was always packed.

My favorite guy at the Astrodome - the beer vendor who shouted above the crowd noise:

GET YER BEER HERE! COLDEST FOAM IN THE 'DOME!

Good times.

ROLL TIDE, BABY.
