BAH - I knew we had this from the tip-off. Never any doubt in my mind.
(where's that eye-rolling font?) :eyes:
will we rush the court ???
Is FF OUT OF HIS *&&(() MIND? A PUSH ??
Why put our players at the free throw line if they turn and run the other way the second the ball is in the air?
@KUSTEVE we'd all be dead.....
I used to complain about the "Globetrotter Shuffle" - now they just play street ball. Run down the court as fast as you can and throw the ball up, whether there are teammates in the area or not.
@Crimsonorblue22 Oh - I'll watch it. I just want to whine about it. But thanks!
I'm AT work, I may as well actually DO some work. This is more frustrating than my job.
@DCHawker well..............
How are we going to make a run in the NCAA's when we play like crap against a crappy team in front of, basically, our home crowd?
although from @Crimsonorblue22 's latest remarks, i may have missed something!!!
Someone help me out here - is Self stupid? Is there some reason that I don't know about, or have forgotten why Lucas hasn't played more this season? Everytime I see him play, I'm impressed.
the only good thing about this game (so far) is that I'm watching it at work!
@brooksmd zackly
@KUSTEVE STEVE!! You really ARE sick dude.
Those uniforms are so ugly, it's actually starting to tick me off!!!
@KUSTEVE Sorry to hear you're under the weather. Maybe a big time TCU butt whoopin will make you feel a little better!
Seriously, get better soon. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
@Crimsonorblue22 I read something this morning, I really thought the same two knuckleheads were doing our game - plus Holly Rowe. But sometimes I glance too quickly at the paper.
@JayhawkRock78 You get better stations than I do! I have 2 good Christian stations, an oldies station that is .....meh, a "classic" rock station that plays the same 25 songs 24/7/365 and a soft rock station that is slightly better than meh.
Thank goodness for Pandora.
@Crimsonorblue22 I haven't paid a lot of attention to Dicky V for the past few years, but he used to :heart: :heart: :heart: KU when Ol Roy was here.
@Crimsonorblue22 We're the same height, I have about 15 lbs on him - ALL MUSCLE - :muscle: of course!
But - he's 32 years younger!
@Crimsonorblue22 My son is 24 years old, 6' - 215 lbs. If he was dressed like that, and it wasn't Halloween, I'd put him over my knee and whoop his butt.
And it would be easy, cuz it's already exposed.
@DanR Ok, in light of all the uproar in our society lately, I want to be very sensitive here and don't want anyone to take this the wrong way. Maybe it's a culture thing - but why in the name of all that is holy would anyone want to wear their drawers like that ???
@dylans Pushing the envelope today! lol
@wrwlumpy Man - was there ever anyone more beautiful than Barbara Eden at that age? Yikes.
@VailHawk That's Awesome!
When I meet you, we'll fistbump..... :facepunch:
@VailHawk " Max Falkenstein "
One of my ALL-TIME favorite human beings! What a great guy. I used to love turning the sound off the TV and listen to Max call the games. Or turn the TV off all together.
@drgnslayr I'm nervous, but I don't know if it's about the time-off issue.
We've been consistently inconsistent this year - that's what worries me. We've played really well at times and totally in a coma at others. We've seen times of great intensity from the team and other times where it looks like they'd rather be playing video games or about anything else besides basketball.
In December, you always hear the TV announcers say "That's a team you won't want to play in March". I don't think we've really achieved that. We're as apt to play stupid and lose now as we were in December. I know we've had some injuries and other team issues, but so has everyone else in the country. The teams that are going to love March are the teams that have shown constant improvement over the past 4 months.
If they can just FOCUS for a while, I think we'll do OK.
I was wrong to think that sometime during the course of this season I might be wrong.
@Kip_McSmithers I'm jaded I guess - it's just SO difficult to get pumped up about KU football after all these years, but if anything can do it - it would be that article!
@JayhawkRock78 My favorite T-shirt:
" Missouri - 6 million people. Five last names "
I vote for all of them, except for the dude in the tie - whoever that is.
@ajvan As long as revenge is your motivation - how about
Kentucky?
(a little further down the line, of course)
Wow - I was going to post a thread earlier asking if this was Self's worst year of coaching or his best.
I 100% GUARANTEE that Kentucky will win the whole thing.
Take it to the bank.
(that should pretty much guarantee they get beat in the FF)
I'm happy for Perry - BUT -
If Frank Mason doesn't make first team, there shouldn't be a first team. What exactly is the criteria to obtain this honor? It must be if you have one of the best players in the conference AND he's the most valuable player on the Conference Championship team - he ain't gonna be first team all conference.
This disgusts me.
OK - I'm asking forgiveness ahead of time - I've been out of the loop for a few days and I haven't seen or heard anything about the BG situation.
SO - WHAT exactly did he do ?
@DoubleDD "PS I bet my house that this years UK team would have at least two losses if they played in the Big 12 "
What kind of house do you have ??
Lol - I get where you're coming from, but if KU is the uncontested champion of the Big 12 ( Eleven years running ) and Kentucky beat the living pizz out of us this year - why would they have two losses in this league? Just asking. Thanks.
@wissoxfan83 OK OK OK
I will NEVER in a BILLION GAZILLION years exaggerate again.
Maybe when Texas dumps Barnes we can hire him as a recruiter.....
Conference Tournaments are designed for the same reason that there are 4,798 College Bowl games every year.
:moneybag:
:moneybag:
:moneybag:
I hope that wherever and whenever we play, that Missouri can get good tickets and come watch us.
@oldhwkfan In 1988, the moniker for our team was " Danny and the Miracles ".
If we win more than two or three games in this year's tournament - THAT will be a miracle. But who knows? The stupid RPI (which I have great faith in) says we have played the toughest teams in America and, for the most part, come out on top. But we've been SO dang inconsistent. We've blown HUGE leads and hung on to win, or have come back to win. But we've also been blown clear out of the water - once by a really good team and once by ......a not so great team.
Like you, I'm happy for " Number 11 " and I'll just keep my fingers crossed and see what happens.
@VailHawk at least they'll leave the light on for you.....
@wissoxfan83 Here's my philosophy (cuz I know everyone is interested :smirk_cat: ) - I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of a letdown with Perry out on Saturday. The idea behind that is when they were thrust into a desperate situation (Perry being injured) they responded in great fashion. Kind of like the stories you hear about a little old lady lifting a car off of a toddler or whatever. They just reacted. With urgency.
I'm afraid if they have a few days to mull it over, they'll be overwhelmed (oh, what do we do without Perry??? ) and play like it. I hope I'm wrong. I have been before.
@globaljaybird for this -
"Leave the phone alone while driving. Get there in one piece. Will chat later."
Reeeeaaaaal good advice !
@RockChalkinTexas I think Huggy should have to give his 25k back after blowing an 18 point lead.
@globaljaybird It's official - you are my new hero.
@RockChalkinTexas and because we've won before.....
From what I've seen so far, the general emotion taken from last night's game is one of elation. ?
Am I the only one that is still seething that we got into an 18 point hole - at home?
I'm very glad we won and I guess it shows that these guys can get tough and fight back, but I sure would like to see just one game this year where we bolt out to a 10 point lead and win by 20.
