Think it's time / face the truth - --reality check.

Well guys & Gals I’m afraid it’s time we face reality. Face the truth , I’ve been told many times that the truth hurts sometimes, but it is what it is. Heard this from a podcast I listened to the other day well actually , have heard from a couple & I agree pretty much with them & that is :- - Is KU still the Creme - -the BIG DADDY of the Big 12 Conference ? - -Or have they as they say have they fallen back to the pack ?
Truthfully the answer is Yes they have fallen back. KU’s dominance ruling the Big 12 in Basketball days are over- - - gone. As hard as it is to say I have to agree 100 %. No longer are you going to see KU just breeze through the Conference and just knock the dog snot out of the other members. That is just not gonna happen anymore . Those days are gone.
We as fans have become very , very spoiled and for some can’t seem to face reality.- - Like they said in the podcast with the arrival of the combination of the NIL & the way the portal has become there is becoming a lot more parity.
With the way the portal has become it has made it harder because of other Schools dealing in the NIL. – The Portal has become a hindrance and teams are finding it harder to get any continuity that cohesiveness, players here today- - gone tomorrow, harder to bond with other players when here today , gone tomorrow.
The truth is the Truth- -The days of winning the Conference fourteen yrs straight any more are long gone – Those were the dominant years, You’ve never seen any other School do that in Conference and you won’t. That only came from the guy that doesn’t know how to run his program and favors players- -Ya we have fell back, with the expansion of the league some power teams such as Arizona/Houston it’s pretty well evening it out.
At the end of the day-- -were gonna be Ok , you find out that the next day the Sun still comes up , your still above ground/breathing The Earth is still in rotation – Have to realize - -it’s ok - -It’s a fricken Basketball game for GOD’S sake just Breathe - -find a hobby - -If your one that is so upset with the way Coach runs the program- - The way he favors players , been doing and more then likely will continue to do , if your so miserable because of these things then do yourself a favor- - Find ANOTHER team to root for, simple you will feel much better and it’s not that hard & you’ll be much happier.
The only other solution I can think of for you to do if your so mad at Self is --just go into and see if you can talk with Coach and voice your dis pleasure Stand up to him be the man and let him know how unhappy you are with the way he is running the program. I’m sure he be glad to listen That leaves you with only one thing to do after - - I refer to a great song to express it’s called " Pop a top again " = =Oh ya just kick back pop that top enjoy life realize it’s just a game and embrace that ice cold brew- -Ahhhh.

A day later and my conclusions are:
When KJ comes back healthy, we should be a better team. Rylan, Storr and Flory have all had at least 1 good game. I am sure Self noticed and will try to harness that moving forward.
Hopefully the team has enough mental resiliency to see the bigger picture.

@approxinfinity The guys here are right in this respect though I will say this. When KJ does come back, chances are he will be back in the starting line up 7 the only thing is Coach has to keep getting Flory more floor time. Period, he just can’t hinder Flory’s progress KJ ha to understand and actually as much as he loves KU- -I actually think if he were to get less because of Flory KJ would be ok with that if he realized it’s what’s best. KJ still gt his minutes but just not as many. -Be better for KJ - Be better for the team
