Talk about an up and down season! Barely losing to Utah, losing to Little Rock, beating ranked 14th ranked Cal.?
-
For sure…a couple of those loses look bad. Look what WVU did to them. On paper, we shouldn’t have a problem with them. But…we know that emotionally, at least, we will get their best shot.
-
I don’t upvote every post, but these opponent threads with campus shots, etc. are killers! They alone are worth the price of admission to this site!

Looks like they’re relying on a Freshman guard for team-high minutes and scoring.

Great pics as usual. Where did you find the one of Huggins standing on a rock underwater???
-
@nuleafjhawk ha ha! Good one!
-
The game is on cbs sports network, a channel I don’t check very often. On cox hd it’s 2260 or 260 non hd.
-
Some people get to live in San Diego, and then there’s the rest of us, although @VailHawk’s got it pretty good too.

Coronado Hotel.

@wrwlumpy You had me at Raquel Welch! Thanks.

@wrwlumpy let’s go!

@wrwlumpy Lumpy, I join you in high praise of Salk and his discovery. Spent a month in basement polio ward of old KC General Hsptl summer 1949. Eight years old, and my parents could visit infrequently only from outside hospital’s screened basement window. Probably the basis for my cherishing lifetime moments of intermittent solitary pursuits: running, pedaling, reading, fishing, working in remote Ozark woods. I was mighty fortunate to have survived lasting effects of that malady before Salk rescued probably millions of people from crippling misfortune.

I went to Mecical Corp Scool at Balboa Naval Hospital. It was a short walk from there to Balboa Park and the San Diego Zoo. Joan Embry who was on the Tonight show many, many times made it a destination for me to meet pretty girls while a Polar Bear would salute anyone in a Navy uniform. The Coronado bridge had not yet been fully built and the first person to cross it was a pregnant lady in a police car who had the baby on the bridge. Many evenings were spent walking around Plaza downtown where preachers would stand on soap boxes while women in bikini’s sold Bibles next to tattoo parlors. Being eighteen and headed for Vietnam was made all the more difficult by pondering leaving one of the most beautiful cities in the country.

@wrwlumpy This will be a big boy game for us. SD is a perennial NCAA team, for the most part, and it will be a true away game for us. We can beat them. Our boys just have to lock down and be tough like they were in the WUGs. They can win this game. I think it will be close but they can win it. It should be a good test.
-
@wrwlumpy " Where all da white women at?"
-
I hope for a Kansas win on the 22nd. But I don’t like the time of the game and it’s location. Oh don’t get me wrong SD is beautiful. But a game 3 days before Christmas at 10 pm our time. SD will be playing or should I say trying to be the Scrooge to my Holiday. We better win the game.
-
@Duanep5ku kids will adjust to time, Dg will not sleep in for this one!! Probably be harder for some fans than kids. I think they will be ready, no repeat of last year. Isn’t this the tallest team?
-
@wrwlumpy Thank you for your service, sir! My wife served in the USAF during '91. I decided to pass on an opportunity at the Academy in Colo Springs, choosing KU professional school. We have been to Hotel Del in Coronado twice since '00 and have loved it, SDiego, and LaJolla in particular.
-
I notice a “name” that KU faithful were tossing around quite a bit during his recruiting: Angelo Chol. I see from his stats as a SENIOR, that he has amounted to very little. 4ppg, 4rpg, 50-60%FT. And this was some ranked kid? Methinks no-namer Kevin Young would kick his azz…and we’ll see Ellis and Traylor (both 6’8.) work this guy. Ellis and Traylor had the guts to play for Bill Self. I respect that. Even over homesickness…(waaah!!)
-
I love the Del Coronado…it is claimed that there are ghost there…
-
I would not count the win against California as a big win, they were grossly over-ranked at the start of the season based on potential and they have not come close to living up to it.
-
That’s what 5-star freshman do to people’s heads. They take a mediocre team a year ago and surprisingly make them 100 times better overnight. Cal is better this year but they way they were ranked early was just for TV.
Chol has done nothing since bouncing from Arizona to SDSU… It’s a case where we are fortunate to have missed on him. He didn’t develop as some scouts had predicted he could.
the next game against UC Irvine is what your thinking of. SDSU just has a bunch of 6-7 to 6’9 types
-
@KansasComet Oh my, Raquel. And today in her mid 70’s she’s still got it.
With my head back on straight, thanks to a Navy dad lived in SD twice. Once in Ocean Beach (blah) and once in Pacific Beach (YOWZA). In PB we were 2 blocks from the water and about 1/2 mile south of La Jolla. Beautiful girls, beautiful weather, beautiful girls, beautiful beach, beautiful girls…
-
@brooksmd To me, Raquel is to women as Wilt is to basketball players.
-
-
@brooksmd HUBBA HUBBA …
-
@brooksmd Yes indeed!!
-
@nuleafjhawk Well said!
-
Chol is a reason that lower ranked guys are a bit scary. He was ranked in the 50s or 60s and just never did develop and pan out. He was thought of as a fast rising candidate, but looking back at his game, he wasn’t super skilled or explosive as an athlete.
There’s even a funny moment I saw in one of his HS highlight videos. Towards the end of his highlights Chol makes a move from the corner to the middle of the lane. He dunks, but its clear that the play was whistled dead, and you can see the official on the baseline signal that he traveled. If ever there was a bit of foreboding in a highlight, that is it.
-
Just off the plane in San Diego.
-
-
I think SDS was looking ahead to the KU game. Grand Canyon is this year’s Incarnate Word.
-
@wrwlumpy - Just wanted to say that your pregame threads are excellent. Always an education. Thanks for taking the time to do this.
And SDSU losing to Grand Canyon. Wow. Grand Canyon got beat by Louisville by 45 points.
-
Merry Christmas everyone!
-
@Gunman same to you and your family!
-
Don’t let the score of the Louisville game fool you, Grand Canyon is a pretty decent team. Keep in mind that the Louisville game was at Louisville right after they let the game against Michigan State slip away and were looking for blood…remember that after losing to MSU, KU beat Chaminade by 51 points. GC is 10-2 and the only other loss was to Nebraska-Omaha in OT and their record includes a win over Houston and just about all their wins have been by double digits. Not a great team but definitely not as bad as the Louisville score would appear to indicate.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Dan majerle coach GC? I use to “like” him!
-
Yes, he coaches GC …he was really good and smart player in the NBA.
