@wrwlumpy as always, great job. Appreciate the work you do for us!
-
Beautiful campus… When it’s not covered in snow
-
@wrwlumpy This Alexander fella must be a MONSTER!!! Bill better scheme the whole game plan to stop him. That’s our only chance.

Many Brewery’s to make it through the Winter.

Nice job.
HC needs some attention.
Really too bad about Clarence.
They tried, though.
Especially grateful you loaded Cooz into the mix.
I remember Cooz coaching the Omaha Kansas City Royals briefly. It was a shame Cooz never got to coach for an organization that gave a damn.

-
Man they have it rough up there in winter, I mean if you have to run a snow blower with a helmet on. Ouch
-
I’m so ready for there to be another game so hopefully some people can come up with something different to say!
I hope we win by 40 but it will probably only be 10 and back on the merry-go-round we will go.
-
@benshawks08 If we won every game by 40, we wouldn’t have anything to talk about!
And we’d think Roy was back on the bench. (that should keep things going for a LITTLE while)
-
I’ve been gone for a while and haven’t read any blogs since we beat Harvard and became # 2 in the rankings. I bet HEM and his followers have been praising Self for having the team ranked so high and being thankful for having Self be our Coach.
-
@wrwlumpy nope. Not much talk about #2. More about Lucas and Diallo, pace of play and so on.
-
Just trying to be light hearted about all of the Coach haters.
Roy in the NCAA Tournament vs. Holy Cross.
-
@wrwlumpy They certainly have a beautiful campus! Can’t wait o go to the game. I’ve been fortunate enough to be at every game in the Fieldhouse so far this season outside of the Harvard game.
-
@HawkInMizery so we should blame you?
guess you better not miss anymore. Have fun!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 haha I knew someone was going to say that as soon as I hit enter. It’s all my fault!!! lol I wish I could attend every game but Royals season tickets don’t pay for themselves ha
-
Yep, blame it on him…off with his head, get a rope or …wait, @HawkInMizery better not be Muslin or I will be in deep %hit and have the entire federal government on me for hateful speech. On the other hand, if he is a Christian I might get an innvite to the White House…:D
-
@JayHawkFanToo HAHAHA not muslim. I have Christian values but I don’t know if I’d classify myself as that either. I have my views on organized religion but that’s a whole other conversation and I know that wasn’t the point of your post
-
You are right. Gotta have some fun amidst the doom and gloom that seems to permeate the board when Coach Self does things differently than the forum’s resident master coaches feel he should do…:(
-
@wrwlumpy you are a breath of fresh air!
-
The haters on the other site refer to their Coach bashers as the “Chicken Little - Sky is falling group.” Also, I guess on Hawk Talk last night, two people called coach about why he chooses to play the Big’s that get the court time. So, now the “Anti” Self fans are taking the airways, obviously hoping that Self will say, “You’re right, I know I should listen to the bloggers and I probably should do it their way.”
-
@wrwlumpy A couple of things about that game: Holy Cross had a winning record (unlike Harvard) and we won by double digits. Also, I think if you look real hard, you can see Bill Self sitting behind the KU bench whispering " run the Hi-Low, run the Hi-low…"
-
@JayHawkFanToo Indeed! I appreciate the humor. I too have fallen subject to questioning self at times but until we don’t win the Big 12 for consecutive years he has earned our patience. We’re all human and it’s easy to get frustrated which makes it so easy to quickly point the finger at self. Sometimes I think he may lose on purpose or do something against the grain to get his guys to do what he wants them to do. We’ve seen what this team can do when they are firing on all cylinders. You gotta think the boys will come out firing after the way they let Harvard come back in their house. Maybe his plan was to motivate them, to show them that any team can beat them and that every opponent deserves respect regardless of competition level, record, or league.
-
@nuleafjhawk Has it really been that horrible for you to watch the Jayhawks these last 13 years under Coach. Has the anger at him permeated your soul that it makes it difficult to enjoy what he has accomplished. Is this going to go on all year after every conference game that we win? I hope we score a 100 in all our games, just so I can enjoy coming to this site again.
-
@wrwlumpy You might want to read between the lines. I’m just looking for an opportunity to have fun. I love KU. I DO believe we should win every game by 40 points and I think the Hi-Low offense is great for 6-9 to 7-2 guys that can’t run. We have (will have) a great team this year and I’m just keeping myself entertained until things click.

Put Baylor and West Virginia in this mix also.

Great article…
Oklahoma absolutely dominated reigning Big East champion Villanova on Monday night to earn the No. 1 spot in the updated KenPom rankings, and suddenly, the Big 12 is looking like an absolute juggernaut. Four Big 12 schools lie within the top 16 of Ken Pom’s rankings: Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa St. and West Virginia (who we won’t break down here, but could also vault into title contention with a few more impressive performances). Take a look at the AP Poll, and the Big 12 picture looks even prettier. Kansas (2), Iowa St. (4) and Oklahoma (7) occupy three of the top seven spots, and the Sooners are a good bet to leap a few teams in next week’s poll.
But, but, but…I though the Big 12 was not strong and the ACC and the Big 10 were the strong conferences.
KenPom adjusted offensive efficiency rankings: Kansas (14th), Oklahoma (16th), Iowa St. (20th)
How can this be? Didn’t KU just got schooled by Harvard?
The Jayhawks play faster than any Big 12 team based on adjusted tempo (17th in the nation), which is impressive when you consider they only turn the ball over on 15.1 percent of their possessions. That ranks 29th out of 351 teams in the country, forming an unlikely yet favorable combination of controlled chaos. Complement a turbo-quick offense
Again, how can it be?..I thought Coach Self was slowing down the offense and putting the brakes on the greyhounds… I’m shocked, shocked I tell you
I could go on, but you get the jest…the gloom and doom seems to be highly localized.

@wrwlumpy gonna be a thriller!
