@dylans I know from the message boards in Madison they don't want Storr back. They laugh at him all the time.
Wow, I hate these refs who never call over the back. I mean that guy reached right over diggy, covered him like a blanket to get the ball and the foul is on Diggy?
Hustle by the frosh leads to points.
Looks like another break in the schedule for TCU playing Topeka YMCA
I don't know what has happened to Bill Self. He almost seems like he's quit coaching.
We're gonna get that one guy commenting in record time if we keep this up.
@BShark It's brilliant insights like that make you so appreciated on this board!
I made a typo on my score prediction. KU 7-TCU 59.
KU 70. Frogs 59.
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah, I think we can start to dream of better days.
@dylans I think Caleb Williams hired him actually from what it appears.
Maybe the Bears have a coach at long last. @FarmerJayhawk What do you think?
Good conversation here. Enjoyed reading it.
A slight bit of perspective. Larry Brown, one of the GOATs, was 0-5 in Ames. Not gonna spend the time to look at Roy Williams in Ames but that place has always been a nightmare for KU even as we had overall better teams than them most years.
@dylans I loved him when he played for the Badgers!

Some of these reviews are pretty inane, seems clear goaltending to me.
@kjayhawks said in KState game thread:
Flory stop trying to take it coast to coast
I find it quite entertaining!
@BShark I sense a NIL deal!
Mayo with a little mustard off the glass!
@Crimsonorblue22 Your hatred for KState is clouding your judgment on him. Seems like a nice guy, he gives glory to God and has tried to get his fans to stop with the stupid FKU chant.
I may be in the minority, I usually am but I like Tang.
HUnk can dunk.
That was a bad defensive sequence
Clean
@MoonwalkMafia Wetsuits, like 4.5 microns thick. $$$. The wind just kind of pushes the small amount of ice that's formed away from where they surf.
The wind is howling out of the north. Temps are dropping and in my great spot at the south end of Lake Michigan there are numerous surfers out in the lake today because the waves are huge.
That's AJ's 3rd made 3 since the Creighton debacle.
@BeddieKU23 Yes, he's a bit unstable.
Anyone see Mick Cronins press conference about all the travel UCLA now has to do? Classic.
Great pass to Moore
Nice over the top lob to Hunter
UCF is 12-4. I'm still amazed at how badly we beat them.
Houston will have a chance to win without about 4 seconds. Half court inbounds. We really need UCF to win this one.
UCF's uni's say Space U
Creighton beats UConn.
I think he's right.
Hurley losing his cool in Storrs right now.
tons of fouls to give, no way that guy should have been able to go full court like that.
@dylans said in KState game thread:
Curious why only Mayo can shoot.
Oh lots of guys can shoot, only Zeke can make.
Never thought Bill would use two timeouts in the first half of this game.
Storr is just broken right now. That top of the key 3 was money last year. He just totally bricked that one.
Bidunga just earned a spot on Shaqtin the fool!
The kid just dribbles totally unaware of the clock?
Storr never beat Hawkins last year. Looking like he'll get his chance today.
Air Storr
@dylans I hesitated to include him for reasons like you said but then others might point him out since he contributed positively here.
I'm slightly behind but a 2 TD lead at TV timeout 1 is a good way to start.
Bill Self had a phase where he recruited some questionable character guys. It really impacted this program, saddling us with the black eye of the half decade long investigation. The dude with the car accident (I've repressed the memory of his name and couldn't care less to learn his name), the dude with the shoebox money (ditto my other parenthesis), Josh Jackson the most talented of all the lowlifes we brought in. The dude who raped the woman. Vick, had some issues, forgetting exactly, Jalen Wilson DUI, and the aforementioned Cliff Alexander, a victim of his own ma if I recall correctly. I might be wrong but Selfs first decade with us was his strongest and we avoided these headlines.
The original post, excellent btw @approxinfinity, and @MoonwalkMafia, was what's happened to recruiting. Bill Self is still struggling to recover from the black eyes of the last decade.
But part of this is waiting for NCAA to work out the negativity of the NIL and portal eras. We brought in some highly ranked 5 star for next year. Normally I'd be stoked but now I'm just thinking he's another Grady or Furphy (who had like 1 good game while he was here using us to get to the league). So while maybe the character issue has been resolved, finding loyal guys to the program who see all of the 'trappings' that come with being a KU player has been difficult. I laugh at guys like Grady Dick who took the money and play for a gosh awful Toronto team. Must be really fun playing in a boring league in front bored fans. He was getting paid here and would be a huge part of KU lore had he stuck around. Instead he's an NBA afterthought. Would've gotten paid after this year or even his senior year a bunch.
88, 08, and 22 have forever etched themselves into my mind and make enduring these down periods a little less difficult. But I fear the aura of KU ball wearing off a little bit and always look at IU basketball, or Nebraska football as examples of programs that ruled their sport that haven't been able to get it together since. Anyone see IU fans abandon the Assembly Hall the other day against Illinois before the first half was even done? My worst nightmare for KU right there.
