Didn't Lawson have an 0-fer in our last exhibition?

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:39 AM

Wow, I guess I don't pay attention to hockey much. Never heard of that Hall of Famer.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:38 AM

Vick cleared for takeoff.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:34 AM

@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!

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:29 AM

@BeddieKU23 Can't find it yet. Keeping on looking.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:26 AM

wissox starts googling record for most 3's in a game without a miss.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:25 AM

Vick came back because he wanted his degree right?

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:23 AM

We 'd be losing by 30 tonight if Vick had gone on to play in Zanzibar or whereever.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:21 AM

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!

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:16 AM

Maybe coach had a talk with the zebras. We're getting some whistles.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:14 AM

There's the annual KU player being held out shot. We'll hear it about 20 more games this year i'm afraid.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:13 AM

I think crimsonorblue has a crush on Fran :)

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 03:08 AM

Lane violation when Doke finally makes one? This is like a sitcom

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:50 AM

By the way Joel has 32 and 16 through 3 quarters.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:49 AM

Why is Silo Tech playing the Nuggets?

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:48 AM

@BShark Actually my post was intentionally stupid because well, forget it.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:44 AM

This is our protest against dropping to #2 in the rankings.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:39 AM

Wow, christmas just came early on that call.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:35 AM

Dotson just ruined my theory

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:34 AM

Only players with KU experience prior to this season have scored tonight. Coaching strategy or just a bad half for the newbies?

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:30 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 Quoting Colonel Potter! His term to get past the censors!

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:28 AM

This team is playing like mule muffins.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:19 AM

Doke got fouled and it's not even the last 5 minutes of the game, but they didn't call it.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:18 AM

Glad Vick came back.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:15 AM

18-4 since Vick's start.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:13 AM

Why would you watch a game if the team is lazy and bad?

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:08 AM

@KirkIsMyHinrich It just feels like it.

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:05 AM

Why did Vick change his number? He was 2 last year if I aint mistaken

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:05 AM

Like I said, encouraging start for LGV

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:04 AM

Encouraging start for LGV

Vermont Game Thread • Nov 13, 2018 02:03 AM

Geaux Jayhawks.

We own Duke

3 Tougher Games • Nov 09, 2018 03:43 AM

Silly kids, did you forget who's coaching Tennessee?

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 10:41 PM

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.

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 05:52 PM

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.

KUSTEVE said:

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!

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 05:46 AM

@Buster-1926 since I titled my piece “just my opinion” I thought that might exempt my post from outdowns.

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 04:49 AM

Of course why would they cheer for the Big12? It's really only 1 team that ever accomplishes anything.

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 04:46 AM

@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!

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 04:33 AM

@mayjay Oh, I forgot about that part. I hate ND!

Other Games Tonight • Nov 07, 2018 04:32 AM

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.

Just my opinion • Nov 07, 2018 04:29 AM

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.

Changes To NCAAT Selection/Seeding • Nov 04, 2018 07:44 PM

@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.

MSU KU Predictions • Nov 04, 2018 01:51 PM

Kansas 61 MSU 59

Changes To NCAAT Selection/Seeding • Nov 04, 2018 01:46 PM

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

Joel Freaking Embiid • Nov 02, 2018 03:21 PM

@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.

Joel Freaking Embiid • Nov 02, 2018 02:51 AM

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!

Washburn • Nov 02, 2018 02:29 AM

@approxinfinity I had just seen the total garbage part of the thread above. Thought I had accidentally gotten on a Missouri thread.
