How many teams can say that they have 2 brothers who played and who each were on a team that won a NATTY?
Pretty sure this has never happened before at KU:
-
@drgnslayr oh I missed that clip of Charles dancing, awesome!!

Giving Bill his due!

@drgnslayr - apparently Kenny Smith hasn’t posted to Twitter for 3 days. Based on the look on his face, he’s taking this loss pretty hard.
-
You know… I’m really not a hater of Kenny Smith… I think I’m just like Sir Charles and I don’t buy into his BS. Kenny just needs to be more straightforward. It’s okay if he doesn’t love Kansas and some other teams. He always makes Charles sound so refreshing because Charles doesn’t mince his words.

I met Kenny down here in Houston years ago. They had a local sports show on a radio station back then, and Kenny would do a remote from a bar called S.R.O. Kenny was a nice guy, actually.

This look by Danny is so awesome!

@drgnslayr I was at the 1952 championship game, my first in person exposure to Ku BB. Have been a fan ever since. Clyde was an absolute monster and KU won easily. Last night was a really emotional rolly coaster. I was at the 1957 game and was devastated by the loss.
-
Oh man… thank you for sharing that! If there is anything else you feel like posting… or photos… please bless us all with that! RCJH!
-
Beating UNC last night was the lift that I waslooking for to ease the pain of that loss. To be honest I am still shaking
-
I can only imagine. I bet that was a rough game and they played a physical game against the big dipper. True?
-
@drgnslayr I probably have photos but they are not dgital so I have no idea how to post them. I have one of me on top of the Superdome that I wanted to post but it too was not digital
-
In the least, you can always take your phone camera or digital photo camera and take a new photo of your printed photos. Might take a few times because you want to keep the glare down. We aren’t historians… just fans… so anything from the 50s is absolutely golden in here!
-
@drgnslayr Yes it was, and there are probably a fw cuss words still imprinted on the walls of the old Memoriol colosium if it stil exists
-
I have a few tough memories from Memorial… and I never liked that venue anyways. Felt like prison ball.
-
@drgnslayr I thought it was a lot better venue than the Superdome. Have been in the Superdome and can’t imagine watching the game from the top row of seats
-
@RockChalkinTexas IDK about brothers but I think we need to recruit some more BVNW players.
-
@drgnslayr One of the really emotional things about the 1957 loss was Louie Armstrongs band playing at a dance in the student union when the team walked in. As you may know, Armstrong rarely played “When the Saints Come Marching in” except on very special occasions. When he saw the team, he immediately stopped the band and started the song. The place went bonkers and ther were very few dry eyes.
-
I hear you… I’ve watched from the Superdome. Only place I thought was worse was the Silverdome for the Pistons long ago. Nosebleed and binoculars…
If you ever get a chance… take in a Miami Heat game in the FTX Arena. It is very well-designed and with the big screen help, a joy at whatever level. I swear I’d eat spaghetti off the floor of their bathrooms. I’ve never experienced a bathroom that clean before and took photos to prove it.
-
@drgnslayr Beautiful building. Hope to see it some day
-
@jessejayhawk If you don’t mind me asking, how old were you when you saw the 1952 game?
-
Let’s guess! 18?
-
8?
-
@Bosthawk 17
-
@wissox I wish
-
Remy and Bill was a perfect 1 year thing. No way they survive each other for 4 years lol.
-
Would have loved to see it though. Seems like they really figured it out when it mattered

That’s a big bathroom

@BeddieKU23 Fortunately, I am not that fond of spaghetti.
