KSU Brawl = More Risk That Self Leaves
-
@dylans I think we can agree though that if Self didn’t want it, it wouldn’t happen. Self is the boss of BB, not Long. With the announcement of Snoop, rolling into the music store, big gold chain, Adidas shirt, all at the height of the scandal discussion, Self owned it.
Self then acted incredulous, as if he had no idea of how the imagery would be perceived.
Self said - “I do not like the narrative that has been said concerning that with me, but I also understand I can’t control what the media writes or their opinions,” Self said at KU’s media day Wednesday (via the The Kansas City Star). “I do know and people that know me know that’s not factually true in any way shape or form.”
Uh, maybe a bit of a liar? Or artfully deceptive?
I don’t like Pat Forde much at all, but his take on this Snoop thing was right on point.
@FarmerJayhawk Good info. I checked, Bangerter is a lawyer and went to KU law school.
-
Funny enough, Self actually had his own idea for a music act, but it never got really far.
“Well first of all it’d never be up to me, but I don’t know who it’d be [if I could choose],” Self said. “I actually thought somebody like Darius Rucker. He’d sing all the old stuff and then he’s got a few new hits. And obviously he’s a huge sports fan. That would be somebody I would think about.”
-
@dylans So you do agree that Self has the final say, right? I know Self (or me or you) might not have the same tastes as the athlete. They’re obviously playing to that – that said, I’m sure Snoop’s performance was perfect for some.
-
Always happy to be told what I agree to even if I don’t!
-
Self does not have anything to do w/late pm.

@HighEliteMajor Bold move bring a Pat Forde article in on this. That guy is terrible especially so when talking KU. It’s like going to Fox News to hear about Democrats or MSNBC about Republicans. You already know what it’s going to say and the truth of the matter rarely matters in any “analysis” from the source.

Pat forde is a

From Sports Illustrated: “Forde graduated from the University of Missouri School of Journalism in 1987 and lives in Louisville.”
Need I say more.

Kick DeSousa off the team and all is well. He has no place - a chair? - in the college game or any game, for that matter. Sorry, but what I saw from him in that skirmish was a game changer for me.

@Marco no way!

And why not, @Crimsonorblue22? KU is a university (or even on a pro team!), and actions such as what he almost did have to be made an example of. Braun saved a life, but what De Sousa - if successful - was attempting to do could have taken one. Things like that need to be nipped in the bud, so that others will know that unless in war those things are unacceptable.
-
Man … hot takes are still flying on this.
-
@Marco Were you at the game and see it in person?
The context from viewing it on TV (multiple angles) made it easier for me to have a balanced perspective than when I saw the still photos.

I was not at the game, but I do know what a steel chair or any chair looks like and what it could potentially do.

I believe in second chances.

Just fyi, Silvio was wielding a photographer’s stool, not that that makes it any better…
-
@bskeet nah, ya gotta look at the angles and be there in person. What may look like wielding from one angle is just grabbin it to place in a different location from another angle.
Basically the photographers stool was just in the way and needed to be relocated
-
How do we know Silvio wasn’t trying to protect himself? 3 guys did come after him.
-
He dropped it after his help came.
-
@cragarhawk lol… ok.
-
Lol
-
I also have some ocean front property in central ks if any are in the buying mood
-
Good thing some people here aren’t the coach. No way do you get him off the team. Mega chuds like Forde and Vitale can pound sand.
-
Great! Who wouldn’t want to watch the sun set over an ocean… of native grasses.

@BShark dickitch

Did anybody see the beginning of KSU game? Wondered if we got raked over the coals again?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Do they televise KState games?
-
Lol

Did you happen to catch Coach Self’s comment ? - - -No ? – you need to

Just going by the names I recognize as ocean-front, I am guessing your property is in Havana, Tampa, or Long Island, Kansas? Maybe Jamestown, Kansas if you are stretching it.
How much?
-
Only way Self leaves anytime soon is the school gets hit with major sanctions and he resigns or he retires after winning another National title.

I still have no problem with any actions by anyone in a KU Jersey outside of the stool grabbing. We can argue all night about if staring a guy down is right or wrong given the situation I’d done the same. I yelled “Get out bih” when he blocked it. People get stared down all the damn time in this sport and it doesn’t lead to a bench clearing brawl. Heck OSU did it tonight after a late dunk. Heard from multiple people at the game Love talking trash all night from the bench looking for trouble before and during the game. He saw a window to up the drama and did. I suppose you have to do something to keep the season entertaining playing on a sorry a team like that. I’m wondering how many hundreds of thousands of times ESPN has shown the highlight of Allen Iverson staring down Lue and stepping over him like it was something spectacular.

What was going thru Silvio’s mind during the block… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=haq3m4Dkz_I

Let me start and say first that in no way am I implying that I would want him by any means but more just out of Curiousity
What do you think of Leonard Hamilton? - -Seems like he found his home at Florida St , been there for some time , seems like his team runs decent offense.
This year # 5 in the Nation - - 17-2 on the year & 7-1 in the ACC. - Has pretty competitive teams pretty constantly, again I am not even beginning to say I would want him here, just curious what others think of him. I remember when he was at Oklahoma St
