    Toledo stats



  • @Jesse Newell: this is what I finally got to post over on cjonline.com in response to your KSU info, which I thing tips the balance farther in your favor, but which may not achieve that beyond a reasonable doubt standard. 🙂 To wit:

    "One more thought on triggers of the FT Defense Phenomenon JNew, your driver of luck may explain some or all of the phenomenon, but so might mine. So consider this: if KSU’s strength of schedule were vastly weaker than KU’s, then KSU’s opponents should tend to be significantly worse than KU’s opponents at basketball skills such as shooting FTs. Or put conversely, KU’s opponents probably are better FT shooters. So: the dynamics I have proposed above might be driving down the FT% of KU’s opponents, while the lesser length and athleticism of KSU may not be driving down nearly as much the already weaker FT shooting of KSU’s weaker opponents. This hypothesis might also fit the data you present.

    Just a thought."



  • @approxinfinity Hey … I am not able to post on my computers. I am using my wife’s right now. For some reason I can reply on this one. When I hit reply, it just puts “Dec 27 Headlines: Toledo still undefeated” in the blue banner at the bottom, but no box to reply in. Same thing on other threads. Any thoughts?



  • @HighEliteMajor Ugh. Try to hit ctrl+F5 in your browser for me would you? This forces a cache fresh. And if that doesn’t fix it replying thereafter, can you tell me what browser and version you’re using? If that doesn’t work I might have to revert, we can’t have you not able to post.

    • testing editing existing post in firefox 21.0 – working.
    • testing editing existing post in chrome 31.0.1650.63 m - working.
    • testing editing existing post in IE 10.0.9200.16721


  • @approxinfinity

    testing reply in IE 10.0.9200.16721 – works.



  • testing reply in chrome 31.0.1650.63 m - works.



  • testing reply in firefox 21.0 - works.



  • Guys, unless its a version or browser I’m not using, it seems like it would be a caching issue. If Ctrl+f5 (clearing cache) doesnt do the trick, can you let me know browser and version number (its either under help or about [Browser name] menu options for most browsers). I’m prefer not to revert as the performance seems to be better so far with the new version and they appear to have made some other fixes people have mentioned (I also like the solid white modal window for replies, feel its a lot nicer on the eyes), but if I can test with the browsers and versions you guys are using and reproduce the problem I could revert if necessary. Thanks for your patience. Should be straight soon.



  • @approxinfinity - I use the google chrome version you noted (31.0.1650.63) on one computer and IE on the other. I tried the ctrl+F5 and it still did the same thing. If there’s anything else I can do on my end, just let me know. Thanks.



  • I cannot post either

    . Any ideas?



  • Alright guys, I’ll revert. not sure. It’s bizarre to me. Doing so now



  • Reply box opens but no submit or discard prompt display.

    t.



  • @globaljaybird try now? Ctrl+F5 and try please.



  • Thanks for the revert approx.-that tiny phone is the schizz to post on. The white reply box would display & could type a message, but was no way to submit or discard the reply. F5/ctrl did not make any diff. Surely HEM & I are not the only ones affected?



  • Ctrl/F5 now refreshes this page-did nothing for the other display.

    I’m not sure. I didn’t have any probs on desktop, but I didn’t try on my phone. Thought you guys were seeing the problem on desktop in specific. If it was on the phone I could try to upgrade my test site on my own time and see if I can reproduce on the phone.

    So now, if you go to a thread and hit reply is everything working right with the modal?



  • @approxinfinity Seems to be OK now to me. Reply display is as before-darker background. I use IE also but am not sure what release the phone or laptop is, maybe 7 or 8. Will upgrade the phone in about 6 weeks, but the Dell laptop is only about a year old. If I need to update the browser I can.



  • @globaljaybird shouldn’t be necessary. Thanks a lot for the feedback, and glad we’re back to normal for you and hopefully for anyone else affected. I’ll lay low for a while on updates assuming we’re stable and see if I can reproduce some problems on my test site, and see what else gets updated on the nodebb repo.



  • I usually don’t have much to offer so I try to make people laugh and one line I’ve used over the years on the live updates with @JesseNewell is when an opponent misses two FT’s I’ll quip, “nice free throw defense.” Someone usually gives me an LOL. Turns out I was right!



  • @approxinfinity Thanks for staying on top of the heap bud, now get some ZZZZZZZZZZZZ’s for the big weekend push!



  • This is the first time my post has worked. Glad you fixed it.

    So happy to have Jaybate and others to read again. I really missed them.

    I’m still very confused by how this site works after using LJW one for several years. Is a tutorial available?



  • @tubertigertank Try going to the Q&A blogs and the Bugs Request section may help. That’s where we all started from. Welcome!



  • @RockChalkinTexas Thanks for trying, but I don’t know where to find the Q & A blogs or Bugs Request. And every time I try to join the chats I don’t get in. Do I use my regular “tubertigertank” and my password for it?



  • @tubertigertank I wrote up a post that summarizes how the board works for you – you can find it here : http://www.kubuckets.com/topic/387/how-this-board-works



  • @Jesse Newell Sure, I’ll take under 65.5. I do need to warn you if we happen to play UNC in the NCAA tourney, it will be a lock for me. LOL. Ole Roy has yet another team that can’t shoot straight from the free throw line this year.



  • @JayHawkFanToo I know they’re called the “Rockets”, but I mentally keep calling them the Toledo Mud Hens, which is the Triple A affiliate to the Detroit Tiggers. According to Kenpom, they are heavy on offense, not so much on defense. They come in as the 12th highest ranked offense in cbb, and the 239th best defense. I feel some thunder dunking run out jams coming our way Monday night. I feel 100 points are coming tomorrow for the good guys, so it will be worth the wait we’ve had to endure.



  • All I can remember about Toledo is the double OT loss in football in 2006 and getting even at Memorial Stadium the next season, the magical 2007 season.



  • Is the Toledo game one of the games that we will not be able to watch unless we subscribe to TW or Comcast?

    I checked the TV guide listings for my cable provider (Surewest) and the game is not listed, as far as I can tell. It is supposed to be on ESPN3, which I get but as we all know, it gets blacked out in Kansas.

    Looks like I might be cursing Zenger’s name one more time 😞



  • @approxinfinity Thanks for sharing the “How this board works.” Now the place I’m frustrated is getting into KU Buckets chat.

    Is the chat room always available, or only at certain times? Do I use my user name in the “nickname” box? Do I erase the KU buckets? What in the world do I do with the key box?

    Help!



  • 🙂 well the chatroom is always there but as far as I know no one uses it except during games some may. I haven’t been chatting recently anywhere because I prefer focusing on the games and Jesse Newell hosts well on cj online. But if you do want to use our chatroom you would replace the nickname text with your preferred nick and leave the #kubuckets in the channel textbox k and then hit start. Sometimes that doesn’t appear to load it up. If it hangs here refresh the page and the second time it should work.



  • Thanks. I got it to work, but as you said, there was nobody there.
