Well not the prettiest ball game tonight but the guys go to 24- - -6 on the Season beating South Dakota St - - -10- 7.— Led 9-1 and SD scored six runs in the seventh. lots of bleeding weakly hit seeing eye hits and throw in some walks made it 9-7 but pulled it out in the end.- -a win is a Win guess you have to have a couple of these throughout the Season. Here is a few good things we have going for us.- - – We are 5th in th Nation with 63 home runs on the year , hit two more tonight. KU School record is 75 - they should demolish that. KU leads the Big Twelve in walks- - in on Base percentage - - -& Slugging percentage — KU is averaging 9.5 runs per, rack up another win , not one of their best wins – but a win-- - ROCK CHALK

@BigBad Back when athletes could work, fraud was pretty common in that an athlete would take a job with a boosters business, not do any work or even show up and still get paid. The Ostertag story is a good one because while yes, he had an NBA future, that doesn’t mean that his kid didn’t have immediate needs while Ostertag wasn’t allowed to earn an income and needed handouts that could’ve been considered NCAA violations. The old system of players not being allowed to work was absolute bullshit and pure exploitation. People talk about athletes getting free room and board along with tuition like athletes are the only people on campus receiving those things. How many other kids on a college campus also get free rides through academic and financial needs based scholarships? At a place like KU, I’m sure that number is in the thousands. Are any of those kids restricted from having a job as a condition of their scholarship while they focus solely on whatever their major is? No, those kids are allowed to have jobs earn money beyond what their scholarships pay so why shouldn’t athletes be allowed to do what every other group of students on a college campus are allowed to do? Does the current model need tweaking? Absolutely, but the notion that an athlete that helps generate millions of dollars for a school shouldn’t be allowed to do what every other group on a campus can do and earn extra income through a job is a garbage take IMO.

@bskeet Yes, though if Zuby entered the portal that would change.

@FarmerJayhawk gave me a lil bit of hope

@patoh3 PASS

We are only 2.5 months in. There is so much more stupidity left to come.

@wissox ya your probably right I can’t remember for sure what year that was. I remember it, but I can’t remember the year. I think we will at least get into the regionals -then just play hard and hope for the best after that. I think these guys are a group that will battle to the last pitch-- -they fall behind, they have come right back- They got me excited, great group of kids They play tonight at Six on ESPN Plus

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39848562/which-ncaa-mens-teams-most-final-four-appearances Can you guess which two big 8 teams are on the list? I’ll give you the first one KU. lol

@BShark shoot I’ve copied and pasted from guys/gals over there before. I’ve taken some time off because it was such a disaster most of us saw coming post January I want to know about more to the Utah story that’s been hinted at. What’s the down low on that because I know what was leaked about D2 being the “peacemaker” is comical knowing the squad and how things played out That clearly is the KU staff feeding people…I want Mayo and co’s perspective and this “you’ll never believe it” crap that the dude has mentioned Coaching wise I 100% agree with the three M’s the guy has stayed and have put that down here similarly….so see where you’d think that

I’m ready for mock draft season to end and the real deal to go down! The player highlights are enjoyable during the draft.

@PharmacyHawk said in Instead of Misery: @BShark We are all on the same team here! Mostly yes

@Crimsonorblue22 Any word on what went on at the meeting?

I’ll wait and see what happens. Time for a break

Well our boys just completed the Sweep of the per season # 8th ranked Okie St - -11- - —2. - -Two more home runs , now 59 on the Season and not even quite halfway through the Season. First time KU has swept Okie St since 2009,- -And KU is now 6 - --3 in the Big twelve standings and 23-- - -& 6 on the season. , this is there best Big Twelve start since they formed in 1997.- - this team can muscle up-- -they make the opposing pitcher work deep , throw a lot of pitchs- -have un believable amount of walks , they power up , or just string hits and walks to score, they pit up a lot of runs- -ROCK CHALK

Anyone following Women’s tourney: Last year it was all about Clarke. This year there is another super start - Paige Beckers, scored 40+ points in elite eight. She is a dynamic player, one of the best and if not the best in the country.

@approxinfinity said in Staff changes for 2025-2026: Ok. Thanks guys… do you feel the absence of a GM will put us at a competitive disadvantage this off season? Do we have enough cabbage to field the roster we want? Without any semblance of transparency in this new NIL era, these questions are impossible to answer. For any public institution, all $$$ transactions should be recorded for all to see. Who knows, maybe Self and Co. are brilliant money managers.

Royals had a nice win!

Lets go Vols!

Big day tody my friends. Big time recruit making his announcement today A four * running back KD Jones will commit, KU sitting pretty good hopefully he commits to us, think he will be really good. Announcing at four O’clock.-- Keeping fingers crossed. IF we do happen to miss then there is ANOTHER one pretty interested in KU think we have a decent shot at. Kid I believe from Missouri , RB- -name of DE Zephen Walker , think it very well come down to Nebraska and us.- Things looking really good in 2026-- ROCK CHALK
