West Virginia feels disrespected because KU is #1.
-
@BeddieKU23 Thats what I thought when I read that. I thought to my self, " really dude, your gonna complain about that?" Better focus on the game cuz I know KU will come ready to play a big boy game.
In all honesty, I will not be surprised if KU loses in a tight game tomorrow. But, flip a coin and I wouldnt be surprised if they win a tight one too.
-
West Virginia plays us tomorrow and then has to travel to OU on Saturday.
BTW, we are No. 1 in both AP and Coaches Poll plus Top 25 and One, so there Devin Williams. You guys did NOT make it into the Top 10.
-
@RockChalkinTexas They made the Top 10 in the Coaches poll. Devin made the top 10 in the thug poll, btw.
-
I apologize in advance if KU loses to WVU. I’ve got a business meeting in the little App-hole on gameday. Last time I sat foot in Man-crappin’ was before Acie Law IV beat KU at home in front of my own two eyes. Terrible game to go to.
I apologize now. Maybe you can counter my bad mojo?!?
-
@KUSTEVE I was looking at AP. Coaches ain’t nothing.
-
@JayHawkFanToo agreed. Huggins is dum enough to he probably is backing Williams statement, I think he is just trying to fire their fans up that much more. What he doesn’t realize or just to thick to get it is, you don’t think this may get mentioned before the game in the KU locker room? maybe a whole lot not made but I’m sure to some degree it will be thrown out. Why would you want to throw more ambition to the already nu ! ranked team in the nation. Don’t get me wrong West Virginia is a quality team, going to be a tough game. All road games are very tough in the big 12. This was evidenced when the rankings came out this afternoon, Oklahoma didn’t drop in the AP and only dropped form # 1 to # 2 in the Coaches poll, which I have no problem with at all. It just goes to show people realize or starting to realize how hard it is to win in the big 12, especially on the road. NOT a very bright move on his part. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@RockChalkinTexas careful about your words on that statement, ummmm I think actually the Coaches might JUST MAYBE might just a little more about these schools programs/players then a associated press of sports writes does. These Coaches works with these players everyday, they judge talent better everyday, they are around the players everyday, these coaches TRULY know these players, I would have to take a Coaches words, and or reasoning about rankings much more over then a bunch of SPORTS WRITERS. to say the Coaches poll isn’t anything? are you serious? REALLY? na I know that’s not a serious statement. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Cancel the meeting.
Or quit your job.
-
@dylans I got this!!

I certainly hope they don’t feel disrespected after tomorrow night.
I hope they feel humiliated !!

I hope they feel like Ned Beatty in Deliverance.
Cue the banjo. In this instance, pretty sure they’ll feel violated!
-
@jayballer54 Coaches spot watch other programs…they are watching game film of their immediate and soon to be opponents. They mail it in at best. At worst they play to what benefits them the most.
Case in point, look at how MU coaches voted in the football polls, when MU was on it’s way out the B12 door and setting up house with the SEC>
-
If they are dumb enough to feel disrespected now, then they will be dumb enough tomorrow to not feel humiliated, no matter how bad the score or the bad play to get to the score.
But seriously… UVW or VWU or VFW… they are a quality team. If you remove most of the curse words used by Huggy Bear you can see through to the real coach, who is actually an outstanding coach! That still doesn’t make them a Top 10 team.
Winning the Big 12 regular season title would probably give West Virginia a Top 10 rating. Beating us once on their home court? Na…
-
Hey… let’s go small this game.
Let’s play… Frank, Devonte, Wayne, BG, Svi, Perry… Just leave all our 5s out for a game. Go with our best ball handlers.
Put Perry on the spot to own the boards. He is a friggin’ senior. Self should be able to put him in tough situations and expect good results.
Let’s give the Mountaineers a taste of their own medicine. Let’s run run run… press press press… push transition offense and play great transition defense. Let’s make it a game I want to see… pure X-axis basketball!
Let’s see if we can push WV into a hurry up offense.
Ha… I’d love to see what happens.
-
@RockChalkinTexas great post!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Hmm, “bounty on Self” by Huggy? I wonder if his ‘hired gun’ is that davy-crocket-furrball-with-a-musket? Well, I’m bettin on Self, who hails from PistolPete land–> most Cowboys packed .45LongColt, and Billy Self is a straight shooter…
So my guess is Wednesday, Self will be back in his office in Lawrence hanging up a “Wanted” poster of himself in a trophy frame (that he snagged in Morgantown…).
-
@ralster I think it’s 25,000
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, I recall reading about the $25k bonus as well somewhere…
-
@dylans The mere fact that you have alerted us to this situational bad karma may neutralize the bad juju and give us the chance we need in Morgantown… The good guys have to show up ready to battle for this one.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, and the guy in charge of Diallo’s NCAA clearing (Oliver Luck) wrote the $25K bonus into Huggy’s contract (for beating KU) while he was AD at WVU. Sounds inpartial to me…
-
@dylans I expect him to schedule Higgins to participate in the game tonight!
-
“Self will be back in his office in Lawrence hanging up a “Wanted” poster of himself in a trophy frame (that he snagged in Morgantown…).”
It will look great in the locker room toilet!
-
@curmudgeonjhwk oh no!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Higgins participates…bad Luck! Higgins not participating…good Luck! I guess we’ll see how Lucky we are tonight!
