@chriz If we're honest, we all feel that way to some degree. KU fans have high expectations. Ask any Mizzou fan if they're disappointed that they're not going to win the NC this year. Or ever.
Remember, when it's all said and done, there's only going to be one Champion each year.
That being said, we picked one heck of a night to shoot 20% from the 3 pt line.
@bskeet Prayers to you brother. If we're winning National Championships at the rate of every 20 years (since 1988) then I hope you get to watch us win 4 or 5 more.

Didn’t know I was Pentecostal until we went there.
That is so awesome! We are a Foursquare Pentecostal church as well and I think I feel the same way!
@BigBad said:
Does Self allow this many 3s to be shot again?
That's the only reason we got as far as we did this year.
I'll go to early church and thank God that the sun came up. I could do it at home, but the church has really good music....
After church, I'll go to late breakfast with my great brother in law and his incredible wife.
After that I'll go visit my sister-in-law who has stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer.
Sometime tomorrow afternoon, I'll call my 81 year old dad in Texas and see how he's feeling after having a cancerous kidney removed on Monday.
Then I'll call my two incredible kids in Kansas City and see how their week was.
I'll prepare myself for the onslaught of BS at work on Monday. And you know what?
It won't bother me one bit.

This is the first time I ever remember not looking forward to next basketball season.
I watched this video a few minutes ago and I have to admit it's under MY skin. I can't tell you how much i hope that Coach Self - and ESPECIALLY Frank Mason see this before game time.
Then after the game Frank can tell Altman "What do you think about us Chickenhawks now, needled**k?
Of course, Frank's too classy to do that.
But I'm not
He should have stayed at K-State. At least then when we beat his ass regularly he was used to it.
If we win the NC this year, the front page headline on every sports page in America (East of Kansas City and West of Topeka) will read
UCLA, Kentucky, North Carolina, Gonzaga and Oregon did NOT win the National Championship this year
@mayjay meh...

On the verge of becoming the 1st Big-12 player to avg 20 + 5 assists a game.
Isn't that already etched in stone? I thought since they were identifying it as a Big 12 record, and the Big 12 season is over, that it is in the record books.
@JayHawkFanToo Just out of curiosity - why is it a Technical when LV makes a face and a grunt after a monster dunk, but Swanigan mouthed off to LL THE WHOLE WAY DOWN THE COURT and guess what? No technical. A-frickin-mazing.
@JayHawkFanToo Old Ball SERIOUSLY has lost his mind. I am dead serious. NO sarcasm. Someone needs to get him some mental help. I hope Young Ball gets drafted HIGH this year and makes a buttload of money and puts Old Ball in a mental institution.
Serious Whack Job.

Whichever team wins that UCLA-UK game tonight is a scary, scary team.
Honestly, I'm usually pretty humble when it comes to KU. But if I'm being objective, Frank Mason would scare the living S**T out of me if I am any of the remaining teams. I've followed college ball closely for the last.....50 years and I've never seen anyone like him. The guy seems dang near possessed. And I love it!
@Fightsongwriter Bill would not have said anything. However, Vick would have never seen the floor again the rest of his career.
@drgnslayr said:
Bill is the only coach Kansas has had where I totally trust him in front of the press. We should all appreciate his PR abilities.
@drgnslayr - wanted you to know i clicked on that "like" button until i sprained my index finger. It still only registered one vote. That needs to be changed.
Maybe we could hire Grayson Allen for this game..... send Swanny on a little trip.
@BShark I'M starting to think he can guard LeBron too......
@JayHawkFanToo While I appreciate your sensitivity here, someone mentioned earlier that she kind of brought it on herself. It's not like some surreptitious affair where she was followed into a dark hotel room and secretly videotaped. It's very hard to not talk about someone who was that obnoxious and outlandish. There's no doubt that it was going to be discussed, but we don't need to obsess over it.
@drgnslayr I personally don't get the whole re-post thing. I don't read every single post in every thread - so multiple posts about the same thing don't bother me a bit. Besides, I forget stuff easily........
@Crimsonorblue22 LOL - Yes! I'm still laughing. Guess that's another reason Marsha won't go anywhere else.
I was very upset about this game. I wanted WSU to get beat by 40.
.
I was a little teary-eyed as their seniors hugged their coach for the last time. A little uncomfortable when one of them hugged him for about 15 minutes.........
Anyway, I did feel bad for them, but glad it was them crying and not us.

If Marshall is offered the IU job and turns it down, he’s admitting he’s not good enough to win a national title
As @Crimsonorblue22 so eloquently stated above, the big greasy slimeball is going nowhere because, while he's a scumbag, he's smart enough to know that he can't coach with the big boys. After a couple of 8-23 seasons (whatever) he would just slink out of town and go sell used cars somewhere.
@Crimsonorblue22 That's my favorite post of yours of all time!!
I love it, but not up there with Christmas. Christmas rarely disappoints the living crap out of me every year but two in my lifetime.
Let's play them BOTH!! At the same time!!

I remember when Nebraska fans used to come to Lawrence for football since it was the only way they could watch their team live.
Oh yeah, back in the day when there were more visitors in the stands than home crowd.
WAIT.........
From the article:
Graham’s disposition is particularly crucial at this time of year, because he never shies away from big moments. “I like playing in close games anyway,” Graham recently told the Topeka Capital-Journal. “Blowout games aren’t really that fun.”
Humor us Devonte - blow em out for the next 6 games.
You think a lot !! :bulb:
@JayHawkFanToo Marshall won't ever take a job outside the MVC.
Big Fish, Little Pond.
@BShark Thanks for sharing.
You guys are TOTALLY missing the boat. When Self leaves, the job is mine!
In 50+ years of couch coaching, i have yet to lose the first game.
There have been a lot of highs and lows this season. To me, the highs outweigh the lows by a considerable margin. BUT - I desperately want Frank to cut down the nets this year. A lot of people probably know that I (and many others) had a man crush on Perry Ellis last year, but (sorry Perry) Frank takes that to a whole nuther level. He works so dang hard, he never loses his cool, he almost never makes stupid mistakes - he is the embodiment of what I want every Kansas player to be.
Cut em down Frank!!
@ralster OK. So that means Iowa State wins.....
I was just wondering when and where does Missouri play?
Bwaaaaaaaaaaa hahahahhahahahhhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I'd be interested in your respones. Are we happy with this season only if we go to the
Final Four? Only if we make it to the Elite Eight? Only if we make it out of Lawrence with nobody else getting in trouble with the law ??
@globaljaybird I was going to watch it, but found out there's a marathon of "The Carbonaro Effect" on tonight. Whew!
@drgnslayr said:
I don’t think this team plays well when it has everything going it’s way.
100% agree. I honest to goodness wish we were a 16 seed this year. Seriously. We only seem to have our *hit together when we are the "underdog" this year. Teams we should beat by 30 - we either have to come from behind because we're asleep the whole damn game, or we blow a 20 point lead because our heads are up our butts the whole time.
I can honestly see us being the first ever #1 to lose to a 16. That will be happy times.........:cry:
@globaljaybird I was childishly responding to your statement about us being a 1 seed.
@DoubleDD Michael Jackson. Thanks. Add insult to injury.
I should be glad about this. I won't have to worry about watching the damn TV all weekend and I might actually get some things accomplished. So - YAY - I'm happy.
Was that convincing?
I've already had an Oklahoma fan giving me crap. OKLAHOMA!!! REALLY???
I was pissed at Svi for the bonehead play at the end - BUT - he did have almost 1/4 of our points. We were lucky we were even tied at that point.
@globaljaybird sure didn't play like one today
@Lulufulu I really don't see why that's a foul - he only jumped three feet in the air and landed on him full body. I didn't see any blood.
Glad tomorrow is Friday. I'll only have to take crap from the KSU people for one day. WAIT!! I'm travelling tomorrow - screw them. I don't have to listen to them at all!! They're so stupid, they won't even remember by Monday.
if this was a band, it would be called Frank & the Pussies
