Remember when this ACC tournament was the only big conference tourney?

@VailHawk A quarterfinal loss looks bad in my opinion.
@brooksmd Brooks, I had two windows open, I did both!
@VailHawk It was surprisingly fun. Really pulling for UNC to help out the Badgers here.
@brooksmd LSU choked today. They're hard to figure out
replay please!
I'd like to see UNC win this thing
UNC-VA crunch time, close!
@brooksmd That'd be a dream come true! I'd pull for the jayhawks of course, but be thrilled if the opposite happened.
@Crimsonorblue22 Only if the Badgrs are playing that night!
My daughter wants to visit KU. She's a junior. We will be going up there and be in Lawrence on the night of the national championship game. I'm dreaming big time of a fun night! It'll be my first time in Lawrence since '89. I'm really pumped!
@DCHawker I heard someone say, forget the regions thing, put UW and villanova in the same regional, then the point is moot.
@DCHawker I hope something happens to help the Badgers. This geographical regionals is going to screw them big time.
@Crimsonorblue22 me 3
BOy that should have been a block call on baylor
Who do we want tomorrow night, OU or ISU?
@Eric We're dominating by 6
@BeddieKU23
Or on replay, four guys grab Perry's arm it's pathetic the refs didn't call it.
Their basket which started the minny run was the first hoop for them since 7:10 of the 1st half.
Bury them NOW!
One of my best years as a sports fan was 1983 when Doug Rader declared the White Sox were "winning ugly" It became their rally cry. This year is winning ugly 2.0
@KUSTEVE I hope you're right, but we haven't smoked anyone since.....?
@BeddieKU23 Can we figure out how to do a 2-1?
@KUSTEVE I like points
I'm telling you, since our 2nd half comeback against WVU our D has been really pretty good.
OUr defense is good!
Thats ok, all is forgiven! I know whork is important.
@cragarhawk
It wasn't ugly when the score was 6-0 with two KU threes
Lobster for dinner
Extrapolate this score over the course of a full game. 32-32.
Not too many times it looked like fouls. Michigan didn't commit many either.
Badgers committed 5 fouls today. I'm in a good basketball mood.....for now.
It's a good thing basketball players aren't fat because those unis' would really make them look big.
Fort the first time in history I like Baylors unis better than ours.
Crimson, I knew in New Orleans at least two of us were there, right Brooks?
The boss let me come home. I'll see if I can will us to victory.
Good post, but I ask this question. Why do you believe the NCAA would give Kentucky the benefit of the doubt like it appears they did with Davis? Do you really think, (and we all hate Kentucky here, but I'm trying to be as objective as possible as someone who sees the need to get Cliff back) that the NCAA would do UK favors like that?
I'm not sure I do. They seem to be anal in the way they protect their image and don't let anyone slide. Surely UNC, Syracuse, and Penn St. and OSU in football among others would be brands they'd want to protect If they're trying to protect their most valuable programs.
This is why I believe the conspiracy is like I stated a few posts above yours. Someone who knows something could end this Cliff thing one way or the other, right now, and isn't to spite Cliff.
I should say I feel for kids in Cliff's situation. I mean goodness, the kid is a freshman in college being thrust into a very adult world right now. His head must be spinning. I suppose I had some maturity when I was a freshman, but I look back and feel like I was totally ill equipped to handle adult like problems like he is facing right now. It really sucks for Cliff most of all. We're selfish, we want him now, but imagine how a freshman in college feels seeing his face on the front page of on line sports web pages with the insinuation that he's a cheater. I guess it comes with the territory.
Someone who holds the documents that would maybe help Cliff become eligible again is doing this to spite Cliff for not choosing the U of I. That's my conspiracy theory and i'm sticking to it! That person is probably is in Chicago. Dirty politics is the Illinois way and this is just another example of it.
If the people not providing the info are in Chicago which is likely, then are those people avenging Cliff for breaking Chicago's heart by his signing day hat trick? Could be. Chicago ways are unique to the world.
@brooksmd No, started out here private, Desire St. Academy, but it closed and for 6 years I've been in public schools for better or worse!
When you were in school you didn't have state oversight peering into your classrooms like I do!
@JhawkAlum After the Temple game I infamously posted "I'm Done" but didn't really mean it.
I haven't warmed up to this team too much since then. I can't remember the last KU blowout. Part of that is the strength of the league, but part of that is the weakness of our Big 12 champs to not win going away.
Today did nothing to assuage my fears of a quick exit from the tourney. I know we're playing shorthanded. I trust it will get better with Perry tomorrow assuming he's playing, but goodness, Baylor is tough inside so it really doesn't get easier.
Oh, and those uniforms are embarrassingly ugly!
Reading through this I can tell which members of our group don't have jobs!
I would like Jesse Newell to join us. I know he is registered to use the site, but he doesn't really post much.
I'd also like invite Duke Vitale, Jay Bilas, Gus Johnson and Bill Walton
Gale Sayers, John Riggins, Jim Ryun, Al Aorter for the great Jayhawks from other sports.
John Feinstein would give a great perspective from outside the KU family as well.
@Crimsonorblue22 Forreal, KU fanatic, Wisconsin fan, I have nothing left for any other team.
My son does go to LSU however, so in support of him however, I can cheer them on a bit.
"Personally, I don't care if we bow out of game 1 in the conference tourney.... but I'm thinking about March Madness."
Even if this means we go into the dance with a 3-4 record in our last 7 games? I really think this team needs to capture some momentum in the league tourney.
Apparently hasn't heard of the grand old wizard in Madison and Wisconsin who will have to replace Kaminsky and Trae Jackson, but if Sam Decker sticks around, he Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig, who Kansas recruited, will form an experienced core that will continue to win a lot of games.
Michigan? Not that excited about them.
exCUSE me? The orange? LOL!
Texas AM? I'll believe it when I see it.
Since I can attend games pretty easily at LSU, I'm actually kind of excited to see that team next year. I hope Mickey and Martin stick around.
Huh? I thought I was the only one @RedRooster liked.
Not time to look at all the others, but one look at Wisconsins made me wanna throw my adidas shoes in the trash.
I think it's pretty meaningless. Let them decide after the draft like baseball does. A kid I know got drafted by the Pirates, but had also signed with LSU. He 'held out' saying he was going to play for LSU until the Pirates finally gave him the money he wanted, then signed with the Pirates.
I know my idea opens players up to more involvement with agents and such and invites the risk of more Cliff type situations, but, why not let a kid make a decision the same way the rest of us do?
