    Brannen Greene is the leading candidate for the “3 Switched to a 4 for the good of the team” award.

    Svi Mykhailiuk will start a fad in Ukrainean cuisine in Lawrence that will lead to fans eating Borshch soup with Babkas and Bubliks. Concessions at a stand called Baja Kiev will serve Varenyky, Pyrizchky, Holubtsi, Miynsi, Pyrih, Studenetz, Guliash, and Kovbasa. Deserts will include Kutia, Pampushky, Syrnyky, Kyjivskyj, Zhele, and Varennya. The chaser will be Nalyvka.

  • @jaybate 1.0

    Thanks for making me smile. Any way you can update it on Friday to get me through the weekend?

    😉



  • @drgnslayr let’s hope the draft tomorrow makes us smile!



  • @drgnslayr

    Anytime, slayr, updates are on me!

    I have been thoroughly enjoying your and others posts. Learning lots as usual.



  • Bill Self cornrows could happen IF he has the individual high-dollar hair plugs (neograft or artas…y’all seen the SkyMall ads) placed in the appropriate pattern



  • @Crimsonorblue22 It’s a good thing college basketball doesn’t draft - Kansas would always get crummy picks…



  • @nuleafjhawk are you referring to Embiid and wiggins? Not sure I’m getting you!



  • @Crimsonorblue22 We always win…therefore we would always pick toward the end of the draft.



  • @Hawk8086 thanks!!! So many hate the OAD I thought he was talking about that.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 Not at all - I meant that in the pros, usually the worst teams get the best picks and Kansas is always on top!!



  • “Joel Embiid has been faking the injuries as a practical joke that only Cameroonians get…” @jaybate 1.0

    Danny Ainge was named honorary Cameroonian last week.



  • @ParisHawk

    LOL!



  • I thought KU offered the Selfie major and Tharpe graduated early for his year long project last year. In fact, his Selfie was the model for the entire program or drama dept.

    Bill Self is especially interested in the Jeff Graves, Melo, or early Sherron Collins rows. I also heard that Iverson’s rows were also in the mix for consideration. The rumor has it they will be called the Selfish-corn-rows and will debut in Stillwater, OK in a marathon of cowpokes lining up to honor their native son in hopes of swaying him back to OK.

    The real rumor is that Cindy is positioning herself to takeover for Bonnie and they will win a NC. Tyler Self will be her assistant and the two will make mother/son D1 girls basketball history to win a NC.

    Connor Frankamp is learning what a SS card actually is and if corn rows will give him extra powers on the court, ala, early Sherron Collins. The rumor is that CF will have something that resembles hair by first day of class.

    Norm Roberts will jack the Florida vacancy after Donovan makes a sudden jump to the NBA. At this time, Roberts will unveil his secret weapon which is rumored to be the Cameroonian Mafia. Mr Embiid will be the god-father of the program at which time Norm Roberts will surpass all the great coaches to be the most improved D1 coach to ever reach the HOF.

    Great stuff jaybate 🙂



  • @truehawk93

    True…

    You did it better than I did!!!

    I am getting to be completely dispensible!

    Keep making us laugh.

    Not sure if folks realize what a perilous thread our great country hangs by right now.

    We need laughter again to see this through.

    Rock Chalk!
