Joel Embiid vs. Karviar Shepherd - You Choose
-
@drgnslayr I was fortunate to get involved with Special Olympics & work some bowling “tournaments” about 10 years ago. That is absolutely some of the most rewarding “work” one can do. Kids from SO are so brimming with unbridled love it kind of chokes me up to think about them. Many are not destined to live long or fulfilling lives either alone or with those that care for them. I wish everyone could experience the amount of pleasure we received from our involvement with SO.

@globaljaybird - RIght on! To coach in a world without animosity, judgements, egos… just warm, accepting hearts full of love and enthusiasm! For whatever aspects are missing from their lives because of their personal situations, they more than make up for it by being so special in all the right areas! I know I questioned many of my own behaviors and motivations after having that privilege! There is no better position anywhere for teaching what CAN happen on this planet!
Imagine if those attitudes and behaviors went beyond the doors of Special Olympics? The world would be one happy place!

@drgnslayr global, great posts!

@jaybate 1.0 And a sufficiently insightful one also I might add, heir jaymeister.

To Embiid or not to Embiid; this is the big question.
I am pretty sure Embiid will be gone at the end of the season, and if one year is all we get, I am good with it.
Folks, I don’t know if some of you really appreciate what we are witnessing. Many time I see the gentle giant go to work and I have to ask myself, did he just do that? We are watching the birth of a superstar. Years from now we will be telling the younger generation about the time we saw Embiid play, much like we occasionally hear from some one that saw Wilt play. Let’s enjoy the ride and the time we have Embiid at KU.

Joel Embiid or Karviar Shepherd guys?
I continue to eat my raw take of crow as Jojo was incredible last night, outdueling Giannis.
-
I really had to remember who Karviar Shepherd was

Me too - -I have no clue who that is
-
@approxinfinity Wasn’t that beautiful the way it turned out?
-
@jayballer67 He was a center for TCU.

oh ya that’s right appreciate that. I DO remember him now
-
@approxinfinity had me thinking HEM was back.
-
@benshawks08 I’m sure he’s back just as a different name.
-
~ 8 years later ~
lol… nice seeing HEM and Jaybate in here and how involved all of us were in posting!
-
@drgnslayr you’re right, it really is nice to see how much we contributed back then. Time to dig deep!
-
It makes me wonder… are we all changed somewhat? If so… how much influence is coming from our Covid existence and from recent societal changes?
I’ve noticed a growing sensitivity in people where they take fewer chances speaking out because of fear of being challenged or attacked.
-
@drgnslayr maybe. I’m not too worried about what people think. I think it’s more fatigue, health concerns, the stress of navigating COVID with a family, the changing economic landscape and general BS that has taken up (or wiped out) my thoughts. Maybe in times of stress people are less inclined to expound on their thoughts with an extended audience.
-
Haven’t seen @Marco around either.
-
Kind of spooky when people disappear in here.
Am I correct on these two:
HEM - seemed to just get tired of posting here because of the friction he faced.
Jaybate - had disappeared and reappeared before, but finally vanished in thin air!
I wish both would make a guest appearance!

@drgnslayr another person I miss is @bcjayhawk. She was another one us 3 gals on here. I think she might’ve been from western ks. She was always pleasant. Then the older gentleman rooster? Sad! Wheres lump? I really miss him too. The ones that leave cause they’re mad, I don’t care. The others I worry about. FOE.
-
I come from a monster-size family where everyone liked to fight. haha…
So I miss confrontational communication! (ie fighting)
Yes… I miss lump, and bcjayhawk, too. I definitely like having more women post. Just seems like they offer a different perspective than us knuckle-draggers! lol
-
Should we have recruit a friend or family member month?
-
Or maybe we should all go on an expedition and participate in a Wisconsin, Kentucky, or UNC message board as one trolling horde
-
We have a Jayhawk watch party group around here or did pre Covid but I never ended up going. That kind of thing might be a place to drop kubuckets.com feelers. I’m assuming they still do it.
-
Jayhawkfantoo, you’re always welcome to post. I see your upvotes, so you might as well join the party.
