Of course Gradey's and 1 gets wiped off. Those are 3 points I'd like to have.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 05:20 PM

Unbelievable. Missed defensive rebound only down 5 leads to a 6-0 run of complete meltdown basketball.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 05:13 PM

Dumb announcer just said if they score here it will be their largest of the game. It was just 13.

Horse hockey

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 05:10 PM

Is that QB from your pro team out there available to engineer a comeback?

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 05:08 PM

McCuller is so bipolar on the court.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:50 PM

Got em right where we want them.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:36 PM

@benshawks08 ISU assistant coach caught that pass.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:34 PM

Did you all know Gradey has parents? They literally show them every single game at least once.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:34 PM

Rumors of Gradey's demise have been greatly exaggerated

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:33 PM

Darn I jinxed them.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:30 PM

ISU has made zero outside the arc which is why we're still in this game.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:29 PM

We've only made 2 shots inside the arc. That's not going to get things done

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:28 PM

@tundrahok Great! Can't wait!!

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:28 PM

Is Dick going to make another shot the rest of the year?

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:27 PM

@benshawks08 Box score shows 2 on Kev

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:25 PM

Is that 2 on Kev?

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:24 PM

Wow, this team lost to Misery by 17?

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:22 PM

I don't get nervous til the last minute.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:19 PM

Say it aint so Joe

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:17 PM

I'd love to have a reason to fire up my chainsaw. I used it to heat my house for 9 years but not much use for it now. Where should I come?

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:16 PM

That's a foul on white. Clear as day

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:08 PM

If I had to live in Ames I'd...move

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:05 PM

Should have called a flop on ISU dork falling in lane. When a 150 pounder runs into you you don't just fall down.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 04:03 PM

Wow, nice start for Jwill

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 03:40 PM

Gamethread has been hijacked.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 03:20 PM

@stoptheflop I enjoy good announcers! Fran isn't one of them and I tune him out a lot. I must say I'm guilty of plenty of stupid comments on these pages too, probably above average if my Ken Pom commenting stats are to be believed.

Pertaining to ISU, a cyclone is a tropical storm, not a tornado, so they can't even get their mascot correct, although I must admit, the Kansas based classic Wizard of Oz probably is responsible for this misnamed storm so we (notice pronoun use @mayjay) Kansans bear some unfortunate culpability in this scientific error.

Fran Hate Us game chat • Feb 04, 2023 02:33 PM

What sort of great lines will Fran speak today?

"in order to beat KU you must score more"

KU player on floor bleeding from elbow to nose. "The Jayhawk fouled the ISU guy with his nose"

"If my son had played at KU they undoubtedly would have strung together four final fours in a row with a couple of NC's to boot, probably three or even four"

"KU should send Bill Self packing and hire Chris Beard who is a proven winner"

"ISU is not intimidated by the word Kansas on their jersey. In fact history has shown KU is intimidated by the word Cyclones on a jersey"

Hopefully Fran behaves today.

This is the story that caused me to finally subscribe. Looks like a good website.

I met Donny Boyce tonight. I was at a game in Hammond, IN and he was coaching Proviso East at Hammond Central which has a very good team. I was wearing my KU gear and my friend and KU roommate had met him a few weeks ago and Donny was so nice and gushed about playing at Allen Field House. For those not remembering he played at Colorado in the mid '90s and went onto the NBA for a while. He told me AFH was his favorite place to play but he also never won there, the only gym in the league he didn't win at if I understood him correctly. 2 of his Proviso East teammates from when he played there went to the NBA also, one you've heard of Michael Finley. The 3 amigos as they were called won 3 straight state titles and had a state record win streak.

@DanR When I lived in Baton Rouge the fans were always SEC this and that. I would ask them how is the SEC doing in wrestling this year? Soccer? Lacrosse? Hockey? Crickets!

Other games • Feb 02, 2023 09:51 PM

@Jethro SEC fans are whack. In Baton Rouge LSU was playing Bama in football and Bama was quite a bit better that season. Local sportswriter actually wrote a column hoping for a Bama win because then the SEC would have a better chance of winning another national championship. In other words cheering for your archrival because it might hurt the conference.

Other games • Feb 02, 2023 12:14 PM

@Kcmatt7 Wow, we've got a lot of tough games to win before we earn a 1 seed.

Other games • Feb 01, 2023 06:29 PM

@kuballin10 Alabama unlike their football team chokes every once a decade they have a decent team. 1st/2nd round flameout.

Sunflower Showdown Redeux • Feb 01, 2023 02:17 PM

@Jethro I hope you're not payton patterson because that post is pretty trollish.

Top 10 Match-up On ESPN+ Game Thread • Feb 01, 2023 06:54 AM

Yeah I was shocked to see Bilas. Glad too. I wonder how many + games he’s done?

Sunflower Showdown Redeux • Feb 01, 2023 05:22 AM

Well that was fun. Something came up so I couldn’t watch 2nd half. Sounds like a repeat of the first half. Lots of fouls. Worried me with our thin bench.

Saw some twitter talk about Higgins the other day. He worked a west coast game Sat night and then did a big ten game early Sunday afternoon. Maybe he’s not a bad ref but just tired.

Is this a "stretch?" • Jan 31, 2023 10:34 PM

@mayjay I like trips down memory lane like that. I've been in so many places and my allegiances have thankfully not followed me. As a boy "we" meant NY Mets and Yankees and Rutgers since I was a jersey kid. But 7th grade move to chicago changed it to local teams and then KU and eventually Wisconsin and then Louisiana and back to Chi where we are now. No Louisiana fandom thankfully, although I was very proud to cheer my students on while playing at LSU and in the National Championship against Bama. Daughters HS friend Boston Scott from Zachary, LA playing in the Super Bowl!

Sunflower Showdown Redeux • Jan 31, 2023 10:17 PM

@drgnslayr Thanks, can't begin watching until 9 and actually have the day off tomorrow so no early wake up call means I can wait for the replay to become available.

Sunflower Showdown Redeux • Jan 31, 2023 09:29 PM

@BShark @kuballin10 thanks

Sunflower Showdown Redeux • Jan 31, 2023 08:25 PM

Have to watch later. Since I can’t DVR it does anyone know when they put replays up on ESPN+?

Embiid • Jan 31, 2023 08:23 PM

Philadelphia didn’t give Wilt much of a supporting cast either.

Embiid • Jan 31, 2023 03:17 PM

@mayjay That sounds like what Boston and NY fans would do, but actually sounds like something Philly fans would do too!

Is this a "stretch?" • Jan 31, 2023 03:16 PM

@mayjay Another round of the pronoun wars! Spent 3 years in Lawrence and obviously became a huge proud fan. But living in Wisconsin for as long as I did, being able to watch almost all games on TV because of big 10 network and attend games occasionally, not to mention growing up in BIG country, I do have a dual loyalty and have no problem saying we for the Badgers. But I don't always say we, let the record show, and in fact, rarely use we when referring to them here. Maybe some tech geek can figure out how many times I've said we and Badgers together!

Other games • Jan 31, 2023 12:20 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 I didn't say that! "Besides you" I wrote.

Is this a "stretch?" • Jan 31, 2023 12:18 PM

@Jethro You're missing my point. Virginia beat Purdue in the Elite 8, you can look it up! So Painter does have a sweet 16 win.

Other games • Jan 31, 2023 04:04 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ah, my research was faulty. 10,000 sounds about right for Texas fans who, besides you of course, only care for football.

Other games • Jan 31, 2023 03:55 AM

@Texas-Hawk-10 Must be a huge lower section because they are averaging like 13,000 per game which isn't bad.

Weird year • Jan 31, 2023 03:45 AM

@Kcmatt7 I realize it was a day ago you posted but Indiana is ranked now.

Other games • Jan 31, 2023 03:41 AM

TTech gets their first conference win, didn't realize they were winless. Over a ranked ISU team to boot. Some fans storm the court which is kind of lame.
