IT FINALLY HAPPENED.... HELL FROZE OVER!
-
Bill self finally had one of his players in the All Star game. Finally…he can stand next to Calipari, Izzo, Coach K and claim all star status. oh the joy!!! i’m sooooooo excited. just imaging what this will do for recruiting. i mean we always get the top recruits, but now - we will get even the topper recruits. hallelujah!!!
Why are we not hanging banners for this??? Why are people not running across Lawrence screaming this at the top of their lungs???

You mean like a chicken with his head cut off? Well, we leave that to you.
-
Yawn.
-
That really is interesting. I guess Deron Williams was his only other all Star?
-
How many players have YOU had in the all-star game?
-
El Poyo strikes again!
-
So, 1 title and only 1 All Star. Must be an effing good coach.
-
Great point. how good must a coach be to win as much as Coach Self has with so few All Stars.
Shakespeare would have said…hoisted by his own petard.
-
@elpoyo We normally flick you like a booger, yet you still come back. You must be a glutton for punishment.
-
Once we got back into first place I knew he would show up to tell us how bad the Big 12 is this year.
-
“I knew Bill Self. Bill Self was a friend of mine. You sir are no Bill Self.”
-
@KUSTEVE Booger may be too high of praise.
-
“I knew Bill Self. Bill Self was a friend of mine. You sir are no Bill Self.”
-
@KUSTEVE May be a glutton for all that crap on the bottom of the coop.
-
@mayjay I think he is a sock puppet for another poster on here. A real cancer, he is.
-
@KUSTEVE Yeah, they disappear and reappear together. Andy Kaufman did it better and I didn’t care for it then either. But to each their own I guess.
-
@dylans Yeah, and Andy Kauffman was a weird SOB too, but at least he was funny.
-
He is alive, which is better than the alternative even for him. I expected to hear some noise from him after Saturday.

Deron Williams was Bruce Webbers All star. hahah…didn’t even realize it. Squeaky has the same number of all stars in nba as Bill Self.

I don’t know, I’d still give it to Self. He recruited him. If he had recruited him but never coached him, I’d give it to Squeaky.
-
@chriz Grimes mentioned after he committed that he talked to Deron Williams. DWill had nothing but positive things to say about Self and how Self let him play but also helped improve his game. But sure, DWill is a Bruce guy according to el poyo. Makes perfect sense when you hate Self and KU I guess.
-
@BShark @chriz That is Selfs all star IMO, we have all seen Squeaks inability to develop players at every stop. KSU has as much talent as anyone in the league this year and they ain’t doing too bad tied for third right now. But they return everyone next season and honestly should be a favorite in the league but I’d put money that they don’t win. Squeak was lucky once and lightening don’t strike in the same place twice.
-
Ok confess… which regular here is also “El Poyo”??
-
@kjayhawks @BShark @chriz Deron had two years with Squeaky, one with Self. Played well as a freshman (6.3 ppg, 4.5 apg), but doubled his pts, and 50% increase in assists, as a soph, and stayed there as a junior. He received his major accolades his junior year when they went to the final.
I would give both coaches half of Williams. Squeaky inherited him, but he used him well.

Well … after some consideration, it may be … (gulp ). me!!!
I HAVE changed meds recently … and noticed my “blackouts” being longer with no memory of them… I come to with an empty KFC bucket in my lap, the Buckets site on My iPad, and I’m wearing a mizzou t-shit
Oh god
-
nice typo there, @Bosthawk !
-
May I offer that the apparent question posed is, why don’t we have any NBA all-stars?
From my view, I personally don’t care at all because I don’t care about the NBA. I just want our guys to make a living. And have long, productive careers.
-
@HighEliteMajor And speaking of that, yesterday I read in the Tribune that Milton Doyle has been playing for the Nets. Earning about 10 minutes a game which with his contract means he’s making a nice hourly wage.

He would have been a solid player for us had he stayed.

not surprise!
this ties in very very well with “i personally don’t care about national championships. I just want our guys to win the big 12 and break personal records”

HAHAHAHAHAHAH…GTFO…KSU…bball…talent…hahahahaha! this is so damn funny i can’t even finish typing out my clever comeback.
-

-
Ooops Elpoy hung a banner
-

I can’t accuse @HighEliteMajor of ever saying that.
I do think, however, that from a recruiting perspective and from a media perspective having All Stars helps. But, our incoming talent for next year is top notch, so maybe that effect is not as necessary right now.
-
@approxinfinity Yea, I’m the guy that doesn’t care about national titles. He’s got me there.
-
@elpoyo HEM has been one of the loudest here to beat the drum of wanting national championships rather than conference championships.
-
@HighEliteMajor I thought it was a pretty ironic comment, since you are also about the only person who didn’t jump all over him when he has made his outlandish comments!
