Switching over to other thread now. Too early to navigate both.
Early TO not a good sign.
Just looks like a couple of inches in the Power & Light district. It's the layer of ice underneath that's tricky.

@nwhawkfan We kept hearing snow here but nothing really.
In fact they've got a live report now. Doing split screen with the game.
Hope the roads are clearing out back there. Saw lots of live coverage from downtown KC yesterday on the Weather Channel.
Still a couple of hours away out here, but to my fellow Bucketeers in the Midwest, HAPPY 2021 !
Fun memories. If it wasn't for the rivalry aspect, I might've put the OU game at #1 ahead of the Mizzou win.
Thanks again for posting the video.
As we wait for the New Year, I think back to 12 months ago...I got a pocket calendar in the mail. Its cover read:
"2020 - A YEAR TO REMEMBER"
I beg to differ.
This sounds like the guy who says "You can't fire me, I quit!"
A pretty lame response to the investigation. It's easy to take yourself out of the 2021 tournament if (a) there may not even be one, and (b) your program is in a downward trend. Just getting one step ahead of the sheriff.
Checking in from the Great Pacific Northwest as I take a quick break from all the holiday hoo-hah to catch a few minutes of hoops (what else?).
Wishing my fellow KU Bucketeers all the best for the holiday season. See you in '21 !
Everybody have a happy and safe holiday break !
Glad to be done with 2020 !

Rock chalk and have a merry one, everyone!
Backatcha ! Merry Christmas !
Clippers up 14 over the Lakers in the 2nd quarter. Up by as much as 22 earlier. Lakers too busy looking at their rings.
Only got to see the last 16 minutes, but that's gotta be the best half we've played so far this year.

Vitale only knows one Rolling Stones song
And he's even older than Mick and Keith...
"O'er the fields we go...laughing all the way (HAHAHA)"
@jayballer67 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
got to close this out but I'm telling you overall this is the best I've seen us play this year. Big thing for me is how we are holding our own on the boards. - -Bet Huggy will be in their ass after this game. - -keeping up on the boards and surprised their bigs point wise has been really quiet
Have a great Christmas !
GIMME SOME OF DAT BRAUN SAUCE

I still can't get used to his hair!
When I see this photo I think of Sideshow Bob.
@Kcmatt7 said in WhiskeyVU Game Thread:
This team looks more like what a team of basically all 6’5 guards and Dave should look like.
Only complaint is letting a scrub get hot. Otherwise we have played pretty well
So Dave's looking OK?
Just got in...how we lookin'?
@jessejayhawk said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
@stoptheflop don't forget that we had to beat the refs as well
Usually I give the refs some slack, but these guys sucked tonight.
And for dessert, let's follow it up with some Wiggins and Oubre.
J-WILL !!!!
NO FOULS
@nwhawkfan said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Can't give it to Dave in crunch time !
Glad I was wrong this time.
Conference road game...expect anything different ?
Can't give it to Dave in crunch time !
Nice drive
Geez
DAT MAN AGAIN
FLOP
Thank God for Ochai
Looking at that shot of Steph Curry I still get flashbacks to the tourney game when he & Davidson almost knocked us out, the year we won it all.
Yer damn right Jay
@approxinfinity said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
whats the crowd count there?
Maybe a couple thousand from the looks of it (plus cutouts). Not sure what the state limit is on crowds there.
@wissox said in Emperor Of Basketball Game Thread:
Looks like a normal crowd for a game anywhere in Texas.
It used to be like that...Tech's been drawing pretty well since Beard took over as coach.
I wonder about the financial implications of these cancelled games. Not so much for us, but for a lot of the small schools whose budget relies on the extra revenue from playing the big guys. How does this work if the game is called off? Do they still get paid?
Looks like Emporia State has an open date. And they BEAT Fort Hays.
Looking forward to our next game against...um...(YOUR NAME HERE).
Nice to have a laugher for a change.

We don't need an inaccurate history lesson about the jayhawk
It could always be worse. We could be stuck with Bill Walton's blather.
@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:
I lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, for ten years... had a local UT radio announcer that pronounced "ball" like "bowel" and "foul" like "fall"
Never got used to it.
Bet you enjoyed it when he talked about an offense having "good ball movement"
Good to see Garrett get that hardware pre-game. Hope he doesn't put too much pressure on himself to repeat.
Everybody else looks to be playing good enough D so far this year that he doesn't have to carry the whole load.
Tut. Uncommon.
Too bad.. I won't get to use my "Gone With The Wind" reference.
(The Tarleton twins were beaux of Scarlett O'Hara in the movie's opening scene. One of them was played by a pre-Superman George Reeves.) The only other time I'd even heard of that name.
And on a tenuously related topic, I was channel surfing last night and happened to catch a UNO hockey game. Apparently they're nationally ranked, pretty good for a school that isn't in the Northeast, Upper Midwest or Colorado.
Always wished that KU had a program (other than a club team).
Back in the day there used to be a great rivalry between the KC Blues (St. Louis farm club) and the Omaha Knights in the old Central Hockey League. Saw them play each other a few times in the original American Royal Arena.
