  @sfbahawk Obviously you’re man or woman of a myopic view and without the wisdom of life and human nature. Let me know when you gain some maturity and knowledge, we will have more productive discourse on KUBB and FIFA and politics. But first, allow me to enlighten you a bit since you can’t seem to connect the dots between KU, FIFA, Clinton & politics. ShoeCos -> KUBB -> Nike vs Adidas and KU is caught in the middle according to board rats here. “Nike rival Adidas is one of the top FIFA sponsors, paying the body that oversees the World Cup an estimated $31.6 million a year. But Nike has its own separate deals with national teams and soccer organizations, including Brazil. And that contract puts NIke squarely in the middle of the FIFA criminal case.” http://money.cnn.com/2015/05/28/news/companies/nike-fifa-corruption/index.html Shoes + FIFA -> Clinton & Politics “The Clinton global charity has received between $50,000 and $100,000 from soccer’s governing body and has partnered with the Fédération Internationale de Football Association on several occasions, according to donor listings on the foundation’s website. When the U.S. lost the 2022 bid to Qatar, Clinton was rumored to be so upset he shattered a mirror. But apparently Qatar tried to make it up to him…” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3099839/Clinton-Foundation-took-1-250-000-Qatar-World-Cup-committee-implicated-FIFA-bribery-scandal.html Hope you can connect the dots, you know if A=B, B=C, then A=C? Simple Algebra. And don’t discourage your fellow Jayhawks from wanting to have a discourse on politics as related to KU - even if that is not obvious to your reasoning. If you don’t like it, ignore, go to another topic or another site, twit.

  @REHawk said: By way of borrowing a guard from Larry Brown, to fortify our perimeter lineup, Bill Self is declaring that there is an immediate need going forward. Don’t forget Self borrowed the extra guard because Greene is injured, and Self claims Greene will be ready for the season. He may be less ready than Self claims, but with an extra five months to heal there is a real difference between the WUG roster and the regular season roster, which should have more depth.

  “Coleby could play a big role tonight to provide some more size in the Ole Miss lineup. After a strong freshman campaign, Coleby is having another solid season off the bench for the Rebels. He is a very good rebounder, especially on the offensive glass, and finishes everything around the rim.” -Scouting report I found on him before the played Kentucky. I think he is going to be a decent player. Probably nothing truly special, but if you look at next years bigs, odds are they are Lucas and Bragg. That means we would be relying on 2 freshmen to fill a lot of minutes. Coleby is just insurance. He is a solid role player at the very least that can come in off the bench and give solid minutes. Something we will need when he is finally eligible.

  I don’t mind court storming, but have always worried about the safety aspect of it. Hundreds of people running down stairs is a recipe for someone getting trampled in the madness. I never really thought about a situation like what happened at KSU this year. I just remember back when Wisconsin had the situation at a football game where a railing gave way and several dozen people fell and were being crushed - I don’t remember whether anyone was seriously injured, but it showed the dangers. Add in what happened at KSU this year and I think you have a very dangerous situation for everyone involved - both students and opposing players or coaches. And honestly, there is not enough security to protect against it. What can a few dozen security do if 500 fans are storming their way? The penalties ensure that the crowd will do more to police themselves because losing the home game means that there is a possibility that KSU has to play twice in Lawrence in a given year? That’s a huge loss for them since they are solid at home, but pretty soft on the road.

  Coleby could be a nice pickup. He’s an athletic guy that will benefit from a year of going toe to toe with Perry, Carlton, Cheick and others in practice every day. He has a full year to learn the system and otherwise acclimate himself to everything that is going on. And then he will have two full years of eligibility after that if I understand everything correctly. I don’t know that he is a world beater, necessarily, but if we aren’t getting an elite big man, a definite D1 guy with a year in the system and 2 years of D1 experience is better than a lower ranked prospect IMHO.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 True but after 40 + years I’ve learned to control it - with occasional assistance from Henessey or Christian Brothers…too late to change now bro, I just deal with it the best I can.

  @ajvan Way to go Trav! I love hearing things about our Jayhawks after they left the team and Trav is one of my favorites.

  Student managers, hall monitors, student aides – lots of titles have been used at KU to keep track of athletes. The AD maybe informed but the HC knows practically every move a basketball player makes concerning classes, tutoring sessions, workouts, shot arounds, etc. It’s all in the best interests of the program and is IMO absolutely needed to accomplish high expectations.

  @wissoxfan83 Here is the link to CBT article saying Williams is heading to Gonzaga. Some thing abt him possibly transferring from misery to Kansas just seemed WRONG to me… http://collegebasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/05/30/former-missouri-forward-johnathan-williams-iii-transfers-to-gonzaga/

  @wissoxfan83 Any city that elects Dennis Kucinich as its Mayor deserves to have its river catch on fire. Even Ohioans make fun of Cleveland and refer to it as the armpit of the state.

  I remember listening to some talking head around the time immediately after we won it in 1988 say that KU was the first team since…(I forget, maybe ever) to win the NCAA while playing in their home state. Of course I always turned that argument around on people saying KU won because it was like a home game, and I said they didn’t even play in their home state, in fact it was in the state of their archival. How is that a home court advantage?

  Didn’t Paul Peirce say something about coming back to KU land? I think it was after the Legends of the Phog game. Where Mario handed Paul his only non winning game at the field house? The legends of the Phog By all means count me in on the Truth coming back to KU to ride the bench as an assistant coach.

  @dylans lol - agree on “whiny and annoying”. And recruiting. I guess I just figured if someone was a really good coach, I’d like to have him on our sidelines. But there are plenty of non whiny & annoying ones to go around!
