Let the slobberfest begin

I have read many articles about Kansas this week. Not sure how you have missed them. CBS Sports, The Athletic, NYT, AND ESPN have all had features.
For those of you determined to feel underrespected and unappreciated, The Athletic’s panel of 11 alleged “experts” had most picking KU against Villanova (8 of 11), all 11 picking Duke over UNC, and KU tied with Duke (5-5) for the Championship (1 person picked Villanova).
We are so hated! Boo hoo hoo!!!
-
@mayjay Like my grandfather, we don’t like to let the facts ruin a good story!
-
If KU isn’t gonna blow out Nova tonight, id like a quadruple OT game to push Coach K’s game back as far as possible.
-
Sportscenter opening, “The wait is almost over, Duke-UNC tonight” See @mayjay they do hate us!!
-
Bonus : when Bill wins his 2nd national championship, the Tucky rump rat’s noggins will explode. This will set off a flurry of neurotic threads on Rump Rafters on how Bill has more titles than the Squid. Delicious.
-
@Jethro Now that is a delicious possibility I has not considered!

That was CBS Sports that ran both Dook games, big guy. The night before that, they ran both KU games. The night before that, they ran both Villanova games. And the night before that, they played both UNC games.

OMG I made a mistake lmao I know this much I’d be wiling to bet the farm that Duke/NC got more media coverage 4/1 compared to KU/Villanova bet I’m not making a mistake there lmao
-
@jayballer67 And it would have deserved it. It was a huge game, and amazingly close. Brilliant comeback for UNC after going down by 7 at 41-34. You don’t like the ACC and Duke, but they have deserved monster attention since the mid-80’s.
Think of it this way: When Bill Self retires with 5 NCs, you would be very pissed if the undercard battle in the F4 got more attention than his last game were we to lose in our semi. Note: when, not if, he has 5…
-
@jayballer67 Here’s a fun ESPN story about someone who really believes in KU:
(Note: it is about 3.3 mil, not 33. The link cannot have a period in it)

Well I’m looking at it this way now , all that matters is KU is in the National Championship bottom line and I’ve now moved past this love fest with K and Duke, I also know this they will have prime seats to be able to sit and watch the Championship game but just glaad the guys still playing Monday Night

It’s 10-1. I’m not arguing anything that you said- I agree 100%. I was just saying the games you were talking about weren’t on ESPN. I mean…ESPN tried to convince the AAC to go after B12 teams in order to implode the conference. That’s why I don’t worry about anything that ESPN says or does- no matter what I won’t be watching them.

Mattress Mack is a legend here in Houston. He is one of the most generous men I’ve ever seen. I would strongly encourage everyone to go read about how much he’s done for Houston over the years.
-
@mayjay and his customers who spent more than $3K on mattresses are hoping we win too so they get their money back!
-
@mayjay I think Bill might retire in a slightly less self congratulatory manner than Coach K. I suspect a quiet “What a great season this was. I’m retiring.” Sort of the way Roy Williams retired. With class and very little fan fare. Coach Ks insufferable ego forced this one year circus where the entire basketball world had to kiss his ass repeatedly. Thank god he will never coach again!

Coach K’s approach invited the circus and ESPN was more than happy to oblige. The sports media enabled this slobberfest. I’ve been disappointed with CBS in the past week and especially the last 24 hours getting so sucked in. And when they weren’t tied in knots about the Duke-UNC game, they were gushing about Villanova — even after the loss. It was embarrassing how Big East-centric their perspective was.

Wondering why the final game is at 9:20 ET on a Monday night? Being in PT I’m not complaining, just a bit late for all the East Coasters

It’s always at that time.
