Kstate players have nice cars due to their winning smile and hard work bro.

Yes! About 10 years ago I lived in Manhattan, and worked at Kstate on their irrigation systems. One of the buildings I would check at least every other day was the Bill Snyder building. That’s where they would meet and watch film. I couldn’t help but notice 3 brand new Chevy Avalanches painted in florescent paint. A orange, blue, and purple. I acted like I was fixing a sprinkler to see if I could see who they belonged to and it turned out to be 3 receivers. Their names I now forgot but there’s no way that they could have got those on their own.

Today was the last day of boot camp. Do you guys think that has something to do with it?

@jayballer73 so... how does this work? We gave him a scholarship, school started, so... does he pay us back or does he get a semester for free?

@jayballer73 big if but he’ll stick it out and come back strong and pissed.

We called that. That might help persuading Wichita Heights kids come our way right?

@BShark Eww

@Fightsongwriter Silvio will rip them apart. I just hope he doesn’t come out too amped and get in foul trouble

The tid bit about us stings a little.

“Assisted or has been requested by university staff to assist in the recruitment of prospective student-athletes”

Key word “or” doesn’t have to be both. The fact is Gassnola assisted in recruitment, or he did in the eyes of the NCAA. BYU’s argument/defense is the same as ours.

Someone from ESPN, I forgot who, said what we get charged with and what we come away with will be two different things.

Now I know SDS had no clue these shenanigans were taking place, or I hope not, but he owes us in a way to stay his senior season wouldn’t you guys agree?

@HighEliteMajor @KUSTEVE Carrie Underwood Faith Hill? Top that

I could see attendance going either way. Close to full with everyone stoked about the new team and new coach, or what Farmer said. If I were a betting man, which I'm not, I would say the score will be in the ball park of 44-28. 3 rushing TDs, 1 pass, and 1 special teams (only because @jayballer73 says we have a returner that runs a 4.2 40). And the remainder will be field goals.

Ok, Top Ten non-studs, but great Kansas players -- lunch pail, blue collar, bleed crimson and blue. Here are my top 10: 1) Jeff Graves, 2) Kevin Young, 3) Clint Normore, 4) Nick Bradford, 5) Landon Lucas, 6) Patrick Richey, 7) Conner Teahan, 8 ) Chris Piper, 9) Tyrel Reed, 10) Jamari Traylor. (I love Tarik Black, but just had him one season).

Ok now this is what I meant by having Dedrick in my top 10. I just Liked the guy so much I couldn’t separate the list. Thanks HEM

Now what about everyone’s favorite game? Not counting the 2008 championship because we’ll, that’s just a no brainer

@HighEliteMajor nice list. Mine would have to be... 1) Mason without a doubt! The rest are interchangeable more or less.
2) Graham
3) Manning before my time but I watched a few highlights and man was he good.
4) Trob
5) morris twins. I can’t say one is better than the other.
6) Svi he started playing at 16, well I believe. My memory gets foggy from time to time.
7) Hinrich
8) Chalmers he might actually be more top 20 but sending a championship game to over time is pretty cool.
9) Whitney
10) Dedrick. If he was on 19 of 20 KU rosters he would no doubt be a bench player but with how he bailed us out he’s up here for me. Yes I know I might be the only one but hey, it’s my opinion right?

Also I grew up without cable and what TV I did have it was so spotty that I barely even seen a game that wasn’t a tournament game. So all of my favorites are relatively recent

@HighEliteMajor absolutely I’d take Silvio over Lawson any day. I just hold Lawson high on my list just because he bailed us out last year and had heart. He wasn’t flashy or cocky about it either. Just curious, who’s your top 10?

Just watch this highlight when thinking about comparing Lawson to Silvio.

Now I’m not saying I don’t like Lawson. In fact it’s opposite. He was drug through the mud last year with how much he was used. He lacked a few... umm abilities, but he had his heart in the game. Without him last year we wouldn’t make it to the tournament. He’s up there in the top 10 favorite Jayhawks for me.

Who’s better? Silvio in my opinion but he won’t average a double double.

She will be missed no doubt, but we are a top tier program so her replacement will solid.

@Kcmatt7 We'll knock off KSU. Afterwards all of the KU fans will be classy and not rush the field or tear down goal posts.

Man i just flat hate how trashy KSU and their fans are. They are right up there with Duke with how much they crawl under my skin.

Thank you @approxinfinity for all that you do.

@FarmerJayhawk oh I see. That is very sad. Thanks

What was Chuck dealing with?

BShark said:

Lol

Lol *(I can’t find the infinity symbol) I’m getting antsy

Any news?

@Woodrow that’s what I was thinking. Thanks

@bcjayhawk We travel to Stanford December 29th and then nearly a month off. Next game is Tennessee January 25

@jayballer73 at the end of the day we’re all Jayhawks and that’s what matters.

@jayballer73 yeah it is. December 21st

@jayballer73 I am sorry to hear this. I’ve only been on here since April but I can tell you that you are one of the good ones on here. Just do everything the doctors say. Including a diet if needed. I know that’s one of the things people tend to ignore.

Thanks for calming me down and bringing me back to reality guys

Forgot to mention this earlier. A few days ago JW posted a picture on his Snapchat and on it it said “almost pro”. I hope he doesn’t think he’s a OAD or that Bill promised him minutes that would make us uncomfortable. I could be over thinking like usual. What do you guys think?

I could see Silvio giving Hurt a wedgie, and hanging him by the rim. But nothing beats what @FarmerJayhawk said in the Duke thread. I still say that it's the perfect post.

How many "Tapout" shirts does he own? How big of a lift kit does he have on his truck? So many important questions.

wissox said:

@mayjay Good to see you sir. You've missed a lot. We went from having like zero players returning next year to now we have to figure out who to redshirt!

No kidding. We were about to take volunteers from here to try and become walk on’s

He should show this video on his dating site.

With Harris having a higher rating than Mcbide do you think that McBride will RS? Just wondering your guy’s thoughts or options.

Personally I say RS Harris and let McBride play considering he signed and stayed during the midst of all the allegations.

BShark said:

He's a guy you redshirt that is a pain in the ass for other teams as a JR/SR. Also friends with Braun I believe.

How on earth do you know that? I’m not at all second guessing you it’s just the amount of knowledge some of you have is very impressive.

jayballer73 said:

Just read where Rivals has us as the # 20 ranked class now this year - -Wowzaa lol

Nice! I have not been keeping up with this as much as I’d like to. Great job Les keep it up

@Marco haha! Coaches can be wrong. Look at how Self read Ochai at first. And myself... I said frown instead of from in my previous post. Dang it!

KUSTEVE said:

@drgnslayr When he puts it all together, and he will put it all together ... either this year or next... we're going to feel ashamed how we dogged him.

I love this post. We’re going to realize how important Marcus is in this rotation however it’ll be after he graduates. We talk about moving away frown AODs and move closer to a 4 star who bleeds crimson and blue. Marcus is that guy we want.

He’ll be a bench player but have started minutes.

Happy Father’s Day everyone. I got 2 crazy wild boys that keep me busy

@Marco Yes absolutely. That’s more realistic. Haha

@KUSTEVE This is ppg right? Lol

I think it’ll be a 15 point game. KU flavor of course

Say we do get something and we fight it. Who would be in charge of the ruling? A NCAA committee, a judge(s), or a 3rd party? Forgive the dumb question I’m just not sure how this all will work

I remember a few years back when we played WVU and Huggy gave Self one of those overly large polos to wear for the game so they match and Self said thanks but I’ll keep my suit and tie.

I do like Huggins though. He’s a good one to have in the conference

How many all Americans do you guys think will we have next year? I think we will actually have 4. DD Ochia, SDS, and Doke while Moss will get big 12 honors. Holy cow I’m excited.

I might be overly hyped I know but come now

@HighEliteMajor
“it might give an insight into the NCAA’s view of the seriousness of this when they hit DeSousa with a two year suspension initially. That’s a big deal. Also, remember, the appeals board is a different composition - the Student-Athlete Reinstatement Committee.”

A lot of people forget this. They didn’t say SDSs suspension was unjust they just said 2 years was. If he/we were 100% innocent then SDS would be a SO and not a JR.

All I get out of it is Mr. Bill isn’t finished yet.

After last year you can never plan ahead too much or be too deep.

@HighEliteMajor Yup you make a very good point.

1:4 Silvio tea bags Hurt

My goodness. The perfect post

I don’t know much black and white facts as some of you but if they did have something on us the Silvio would have been suspended indefinitely. Well that’s how my brain works anyways
