Didn't Lawson have an 0-fer in our last exhibition?
Wow, I guess I don't pay attention to hockey much. Never heard of that Hall of Famer.
Vick cleared for takeoff.
@BeddieKU23 I gave up! Ben Gordon made 8 of 8 which was an NBA record back in 2014. That's the best I can do!
@BeddieKU23 Can't find it yet. Keeping on looking.
wissox starts googling record for most 3's in a game without a miss.
Vick came back because he wanted his degree right?
We 'd be losing by 30 tonight if Vick had gone on to play in Zanzibar or whereever.
Just looking at the box. We are so pumped about a deep KU squad for a change, and I don't see any bench players that have proven anything so far. They've contributed 5 points collectively tonight. That's not what we wanted from them. So yes Fran, Silvio would help a lot as others have pointed out. I trust in Garrett and Lightfoot somewhat, but more as minor role players. These boys have got to step up!
Maybe coach had a talk with the zebras. We're getting some whistles.
There's the annual KU player being held out shot. We'll hear it about 20 more games this year i'm afraid.
I think crimsonorblue has a crush on Fran :)
Lane violation when Doke finally makes one? This is like a sitcom
By the way Joel has 32 and 16 through 3 quarters.
Why is Silo Tech playing the Nuggets?
@BShark Actually my post was intentionally stupid because well, forget it.
This is our protest against dropping to #2 in the rankings.
Wow, christmas just came early on that call.
Dotson just ruined my theory
Only players with KU experience prior to this season have scored tonight. Coaching strategy or just a bad half for the newbies?
@Crimsonorblue22 Quoting Colonel Potter! His term to get past the censors!
This team is playing like mule muffins.
Doke got fouled and it's not even the last 5 minutes of the game, but they didn't call it.
Glad Vick came back.
18-4 since Vick's start.
Why would you watch a game if the team is lazy and bad?
@KirkIsMyHinrich It just feels like it.
Why did Vick change his number? He was 2 last year if I aint mistaken
Like I said, encouraging start for LGV
Encouraging start for LGV
Geaux Jayhawks.
We own Duke
Silly kids, did you forget who's coaching Tennessee?
I'm gonna eat a little crow here: I went on ESPN over lunch time and when I looked at their college hoops page it was plastered with Duke stuff. We played a nice game yesterday, nearly coughed it up of course, but we were playing against an experienced opponent too, but thought we deserved some of the spotlight with Duke who admittedly was very good last night.
My favorite Dakich moment was when he got schooled by Jason Benetti last year in AFH. (disclaimer, Benetti is a personal favorite, an up and coming broadcaster who happens to be the Sox' play by play guy. He's also a victim of cerebral palsy and is really impressive.) Dakich early in the game said something about the Jayhawks needing Graham to play well in order to win the game. And while I don't remember the exact quote, Benetti basically said 'way to state the obvious Dan'.
I think Duke and Kentucky are in our heads a little bit too. Just an opinion remember, but we spend a lot of time focused on them. When we have a narrative in our heads that so and so receives preferential treatment from whomever we'll look for the slightest evidence for that. It's called group think I believe. We're kind of guilty of that here.
Don't forget our biggest win of last season hinged on a call that KU received against Duke during crunch time of that classic game. Duke fans are still whining about it. Funny to see really.

I have no problems with Vitale. i don't care if he talks about Dook and Tucky all game, because i don't value what he says anyway. What i do value is his neverending work in his fight against cancer. If he babbles all game, then that's a short price to pay if one kid gets cured, in my books.
Copy, paste!
@Buster-1926 since I titled my piece “just my opinion” I thought that might exempt my post from outdowns.
Of course why would they cheer for the Big12? It's really only 1 team that ever accomplishes anything.
@KirkIsMyHinrich If anything ESPN is an SEC cheerleader. They own the SEC network for goodness sakes! Ever wonder why so many SEC football teams get rated so highly? ESPN runs one of the polls!
@mayjay Oh, I forgot about that part. I hate ND!
Just curious why this thread was started when there was already one started with the same topic before it? Less seems better to me. BTW, Ethan Happ with a triple double tonight.
I wasn't able to watch the game live, so I set the DVR. Read through the game thread 500+ posts! Wow!
I tire of the ratface/cal/ratzo/etc. insults. I don't like any of the men much to be honest but they are people.
I tire of the ESPN hates us comments. Saw so many comments like that. The large majority of our games will be on ESPN this season! Give it up!
I really tire of the Vitale hate. Some of us have always liked the guy, although I admit he is getting past his prime.
I admit I'm guilty of most of these at certain times.
I also tire of the refs hate us comments I am extremely guilty of this sin and must repent of it.
I don't have 95 theses like Martin Luther did, but I do have a few complaints. We have a great place to hang out here. I'd like to keep it that way. IDK, but I probably check here 366 days a year or more, but like I said, this is just my opinion.
@BShark I don't like using this word because it's a family name, but Greene's "Dick move" would actually benefit the team, even though it's classless. Not sure I want to see teams taking meaningless shots for a little extra boost in their power ranking. It probably won't happen for top seeds like us, but a 22 win team needing that extra boost will be trying to score more points, jacking up 3's when it's not necessary.
Kansas 61 MSU 59
So there's an incentive to run up a tight game score at the end. I don't mind these except #5.
Thanks Lumpy! It wouldn't be a KU season without the slideshow!
Don’t feed the trolls
@dylans Interesting. That doesn't diminish Simmons skills either. Simmons is an amazing player who will probably become the next person to average a triple double in a season.
41 points, 13 rebounds tonight, four blocks too. The man is becoming a machine. I know I ripped him the other day, but wow, just wow! Averaging 27 a game and 12 boards. By the way his triple double machine teammate Ben Simmons had one the other day with points, boards and turnovers!
@approxinfinity I had just seen the total garbage part of the thread above. Thought I had accidentally gotten on a Missouri thread.
