Lubbockians/Lubbockers/Lubbocksters/Lubbockwegians must have a tough life living out there in the middle of nowhere. Good work as usual!
-
was looking things over about Tech this year - have a bunch of 6’7 and around there. One 7 footer but really nothing to speak of , shoot 35.5 from the 3 compared to us shooting 39.9 - – - only shoot 67.5 % free throw to - - our 70.1 % - -we are right at 6 rebounds plus better then they are on the boards - -43.7 compared to 37.9. -turnovers are about equal.
Did see stats that they are # 1 in the conference in defense and only allowing 51.6 points per - -Ku is ranked 5th - -they go about 8 deep
If we just go in and play smart should be a good game , won’t have to face a full house anyways, got to get after it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Lubbock sucks! One of the worst days of my college life was spent in that God-forsaken town and I never set foot near that place again.
Made a road trip, once upon a time, to cheer on my football team against the Red Raiders. Not only did we get obliterated, but I ripped my new shirt on the chain link fence that surrounds the stadium. After the game, I returned to my car only to realize I had locked my keys in it. Because of game traffic, it was about 4 or 5 hours before anyone would come out to assist. After finally getting that settled sometime toward sundown, I stopped at the nearby convenience mart to fill up with gas. Turns out the RV that filled up before me didn’t pay and drove off. I only found out they hadn’t paid when I went in to settle my bill and was accused of stealing gas. Said I owed them almost $200 for my tank and the other tank I had already pumped. After some convincing, I was finally was able to get them to back off the accusation, pay for my stuff and head back home.
Just a miserable time from start to finish. Will never go back.

@tis4tim omgosh!
-
@tis4tim hmm, sounds a bit self inflicted?
-
Locking the keys in the car is definitely on me, but the rest is clearly everybody else’s fault!

Yeah I always figured it was the kind of place all those things happened

@tis4tim I would like for you to elaborate on ripping your shirt on the chain link fence. Wouldn’t it have been easier to just buy a ticket?
-
@nuleafjhawk look at him?

Ha ha! I brushed up against the fence exiting the stadium among a mob of people and snagged it on one of the barbs. Honestly, I’m sort of surprised I can remember the event so well after all these years. Lubbock really made an impression on me … and my shirt.
BTW, apologies to Bucketeers who happen to be from Lubbock. I’m not trying to disparage the place. I’m sure it’s a lovely town with lovely people. I just wish I would have experienced either one while I was there.

@tis4tim I know exactly one person from Lubbock, they don’t speak well of growing up there.
-
@tis4tim I’ve heard that happiness is Lubbock, Tx in your rearview mirror…
-
@tis4tim Lol - I tore up a few shirts crawling under chain link fence to see the local high school football team when I was a misguided youth. Last year.

I had not heard that. But I can confirm it.

Hmmm. Small sample size, but I trust your friend is very bright. Confirmation bias be damned!
-
@tis4tim it’s a great story! Cracked me up! Funny now, not so much then!

@approxinfinity They shoot a lotta pool in Lubbock
-
Don’t need pool tables

Really enjoy your pictures of the opponents campuses. Is there any chance that you could do one of the KU campus? I t would be great to see the changes that have occured for me and other Bucketeers that have not been on the campus for several years. Thanks for your consideration.
-
I love this team. They’re not pretty (aren’t going to be this year), but they got heart and guts. This year imo is just a warmup for next.
-
@jessejayhawk I like his cheerleader posts best, and the others too.

when we get these 3 frontline players into the mix next year if they can contribute some - - could be pretty salty

Of course! How could I have forgotten that??? In the future, try to be less subtle in your replies so slow guys like me can pick up on your wit!

If you like that one, I’ve got a doozy of a wedding story that I don’t think I’ll have the segue to post in this forum, but there’s always a chance.
