@BeddieKU23 So, how did this happen? Surely Self, after all these years, didn't wake up before the season and say " Oh, what the heck, let's play some defense this year".
Did the team just evolve? Did they say " Nobody can put the ball in the hoop so we may as well just play good defense"?
Either way, I personally love to see the good "D". Love to see the opponents scoring in the 40's and 50's.
He'd be 914 - 0 if he'd listen to me.....
@benshawks08 that was a setup loss my friend. Don't be surprised if Drew forfeits the game in Wacko.
@DanR "But seriously, white pants in December?"
No couth. I will never again set foot in the state of Tennessee.
@approxinfinity I respect your opinion - here's mine. For the ...two minutes it takes to sing the National Anthem, it doesn't seem like a huge inconvenience to be respectful to the men and women who have given their lives for our country.
@Crimsonorblue22 I love that movie too. Probably seen it 30 times. My wife would say that is an understatement.
@Crimsonorblue22 Consider the source...
This made me giggle. A lot. A 2017 draft review for Patrick Mahomes.
USA Today (didn't see the point of giving the schmuck's name...) gave the Chiefs a C-minus for picking Mahomes. He wrote: “Calling Mahomes a project is a major understatement. He’s nowhere near ready to play in the NFL. And, honestly, he may never be. Between his inconsistent accuracy due to poor mechanics, his tendency to bail from clean pockets and his lack of field vision, he’s going to leave as many big plays on the field as he creates. This was a risky pick.”
@FarmerJayhawk I agree. I love to be spontaneous and slightly rebellious (very slightly), but not with the National Anthem.
@dylans I agree. I just don't see why they commit if they're not really sure. I guess it's insurance - "Well, if a GOOD school won't have anything to do with me, I can always fall back on KU".
@Kcmatt7 I guess it's good that we all don't think the same. How boring would that be? Lol - I respect your opinion.
@Kcmatt7 Nobody said he had to stay here four years.
Call me naive. I don't care if you're 5 or 95, if you give your word - you should keep your word.
Nothing says they have to commit in the first place - if they're unsure just say "Ummmm - I'm considering (fill in the University of choice) - there's a lot of things I like here, but I need to check out some more options before I COMMIT"
I am decommitting from kansas and 100% open

I do NOT respect his decision. I have no respect for people who don't keep their word. Just sayin.
@Hawk8086 They remind me a lot of Oklahoma football. Blow everyone away during the regular season and then flop in the postseason. I hope.
Self wouldn't have thrown Drew a bone earlier in order to drop the hammer later would he ???
Nah.
Probably nah.
@jayballer73 I'm sorry - I have to do this.
Baylor will implode sooner or later. They are Baylor. Imploding is what they do. They are Top 5 in the country in imploding.
I have confidence in them.

Well dam , now we lost Chris Jones - de-committed last night
He go back to the Chiefs?
@benshawks08 said "We can talk about a great win last night but if we are honest, it was pretty much a night off."
I understand why you said that, BUT - we never win at OSU so there's that. Also, we need some games like this to get in our "new team" rhythm. So I think it was a good win.
Night all. LOVE YOU
Just following the announcers advice...
Crap - we didn't start the Rock Chalk chant yet did we?
Another broken dream....
Call me selfish (sadistic) but I'd really like to see us hold them under 40
I get the feeling the game may be out of hand when the announcers are reminiscing about their first jobs as newspaper boys.
@DanR makes me sad to see him like that
I would really like our #2 if he would either spell or pronounce his name correctly.
@DanR anything that doesn't involve alcohol or brothels?
I'm officially weirded out. I'm 61 years old and if live another 61 years, I will never understand why they dont fill the stands in Stillwater- no matter where they're ranked or who they're playing.
@approxinfinity By all means, make life things your priority. Kubuckets is a wonderful thing, but not THE thing.
@HighEliteMajor I'm with you. You can have it. Wait - dang it.
@drgnslayr Don't get me wrong - I HATE the incident that happened Tuesday. In fact, I saw the first few seconds (to process what was going on) and then I turned the channel.
But Kansas being told to CLEAN UP BASKETBALL !! ?? I don't think there's anything to clean up. It's not like we're a prison league team that brawls with everybody we play and spits on their cheerleaders. It was an isolated incident that really should have been between one KU player and one KSU player and it got out of hand.
I don't think we need to clean up basketball. Just inform these young men that if they want to brawl, they'll pay the price.
Just my opinion.
@Woodrow Quit taunting us....
When I was a kid, I absolutely LOVED All-Star Wrestling. Bill Kersten was the mousy announcer that everybody hated/loved. We had Bulldog Bob Brown, Rufus R Jones, Surfer Jesse Ventura (before he was Governor of Minnesota), Dr Ramey and the Interns, Handsome Harley Race, Danny Little Bear, Omar Atlas, Lord Alfred Hayes and so many others. I would stay up way past my bedtime, with the volume turned down low and I reveled in their antics. I remember Jesse Ventura emphatically telling Kersten one tme "I'll use chains, chairs, baseball bats - whatever it takes baby!!"
It's a whole lot less entertaining in real life.
@approxinfinity One really good show (IMO) that we watch on an ongoing basis is " Life Below Zero ". It's a documentary of sorts about several people/families in various parts of Alaska.
You WILL see snow.......
Why snow? I'm always trying to avoid seeing, being in or thinking of snow. I've been looking for lots of good Caribbean beach movies.
Grumpy Old Men. Grumpier Old Men
Cool Runnings
If there's a similar incident in Manhattan, this will be the last basketball game I watch. If I want to watch boxing or MMA, I'll watch boxing or MMA.
@drgnslayr Well said, brother. I hope the K-State fans read it. I have a feeling they won't be super warm and fuzzy.
So - is anyone marketing "Rockem, Sockem Jayhawks" yet ?
Please don't anyone take offense at this, it's my way of dealing with grief/disgust/sorrow. SMH.
I have no input at this time - just wanted to change the number of posts...
@kjayhawks I was 12.
Higher in my book....
@dylans OH, it will be a nice change of pace to see games in the 40's and 50's for a while.....

@kjayhawks Passing is a huge concern too.
"I couldn't imagine how hurt his pride is right now."
My guess is that his pride is immediately healed when he takes his check to the bank.
If I googled my symptoms, I'd be pregnant. Quite an outstanding feat for a 61 year old dude.
@mayjay
"Finding something better to do?"
You guys HAVE to know by know that murmuring about how terrible we are is my lucky rabbits foot.
You're welcome.
@Crimsonorblue22 me either
@Crimsonorblue22 yeah. I'm at the give up stage. Even after the score. Sorry.
Chiefs and Jayhawks in the same weekend. Sweet.
Well, dont need to waste my day watching this garbage.
Congratulations "baller" , yo boy Drew is indeed the greatest coach in the history of the universe.
