Bill Stirs the PG pot....

@JayhawkRock78 think it’s a pacemaker? Saw pics of him getting new batteries in hospital.

Great call. Another tip-off is “yes” is two syllables. When I first moved here I refused to,say “ya’ll”. The second move here included my children and they picked it up,in school fairly soon so I bought into it.
Houston’s regional population has almost doubled the past 7 years so you don’t hear think southern accents so often these days. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard anyone tell me they were "fixin’ to do something.

I’m not sure-the way I remember it there was a lot of stress and they the doctors thought he should get away from the NBA. But then again I may be having memory issues.

The picture on the right of Chamberlain is iconic. It should be the NBA logo. He was an remains the greatest athletic freak on the planet in human history. HE was a demigod in sneakers. He was original. He beyond awesome. He redefined what was possible for a human being.

@JayhawkRock78 could be a defibulator too?

Okay-read a bit more on this. As a player he knew about a heart valve issue and went in for ANOTHER issue, and things went south quickly and they had to scramble to put in a pacemaker-the last procedure was to put in batteries.

@jaybate-1.0 During the filming of Conan the Barbarian he intimidated Arnold Swarzen-whats his name so severely that when Wilt was in the weight room Arnie would not even get close. LOL !!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 +1000 for those pics !!
-
My thoughts and prayers are going out to the Mayor. He’s a true competitor and great coach… very very good for the Big 12!
Definitely a shining star in our league!
-
@drgnslayr Yep, I never want him to beat us of course but he is a stud and a class act!!!
-
@drgnslayr So if the glass is half full or if it is half empty, could it just be the wrong size glass? Makes me wonder.
-
You are a genius. I never thought about the size of the glass. Mine have been half full up to now, but now I think the good lord gave me a large glass to boot.
-
@JayhawkRock78 My friend I have been referenced as many things in this life, but never a genius. Thank you for the compliment.
-
@drgnslayr he’s fine, that was awhile back!
-
@JayhawkRock78 Congratulations on the great news & good luck with the rest !!
-
Thanks so much. We are a KU/KSU family but 800 miles away. It is really a LONG way from home- but it’s nice for him to have in his back pocket and plane trips could be a lot easier to justify now. We put some effort to involve KU in the process including visits and a summer camp there. Nice to believe they took us/my son seriously.
I am thinking we have a better than 50% chance another Jayhawk will be in our family.

@globaljaybird I always thought I didn’t buy a big enough bottle to fill the glass.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Damn jb where were you back in early 90’s when my wife was in the nursing program at Washburn and I, who had no knowledge of statistics, had to decipher and get her through it. Could’ve used your help. Especially since I was working swing shift so when I got home all I wanted was some quiet time, a cold 6 pack and Sportscenter.
-
Any man that will help a woman through statistics without knowing statistics himself is an absolute man, and must, with a 95% confidence interval be viewed by her as an exceptional lover, as well as a life saver. My hat is off to you, brooks. Tell that woman that if she ever lets you go she will be making the biggest mistake of her life.

@globaljaybird
Wilt challenged Al Oerter in practice.
Wilt took on Bill Russell and the Celts for 10-15 seasons.
Wilt loved 20,000 women.
Wilt averaged 50 ppg.
Wilt averaged 30 rpg.
Wilt scored 100 points.
Wilt nearly boxed Ali.
Arnold ?
Wilt would have turned him into a Vienna sausage in seconds.

“now I think the good lord gave me a large glass to boot.”
I still have my big glass boot from Europe. I believe it holds around 64 ounces. Enough to get me through a half of Jayhawk football!
-
@BeddieKU23 “I hope that both of them show in practice that they can lead this team, we really don’t need to start a Freshman PG, its just not a good sign if that happens.”
So, how did Naadir do in the NCAA last year? And, how did EJ do in the tournament the year before? Experience is great to have, but talent is better.
-
@JayhawkRock78 I’m from Houston…yee-haw!!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Thanks. I’ll pass that along and maybe she’ll increase my retirement allowance. (clap)
