Former Jayhawk but still in college player of the year award? I guess since Charlie helped lead his team to the final 8, I award it to Charlie Moore!
Charlie gets my " help out my former team by turning the ball over 18 times in the 2nd half" award. He really sparked a big win!
-
@BeddieKU23 Forget Perry Ellis - I think Dr Naismith actually consulted on the rules with Mitch.
-
It’s the Mitch Lightfoot Crimson and Blue Blood award

Has to be awarded by our own resident @Crimsonorblue22 or it aint legit!
-
The Remy Martin fanboy award should go to me. He was my favorite player.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 That’s even more amazinger!
@Jethro Umm, no awarding yourself anything, although we can award other posters, which is what I thought this post was about when I saw the headline.
On 2nd thought, we better not award anyone anything except for @approxinfinity who is the true GOAT for his rescuing us and somehow finding us after we all bolted from the KUSports thing. I remember just thinking all of a sudden like these online folk have been a part of my life for years and now they’re all gone but I somehow got contacted by someone to come to the Bucket. Many thanks for Mr. Approxinfinity!!!

I wish I had an online sock puppet that could nominate me. Wonder if HEM would let me borrow one of his sock puppets…
j/k …kind of…
-
I nominate @Jethro for “Cash amount to be named later”
-
Ok seriously. I nominate @Jethro for the “New Superstition Award” on account of his new name making us win it all.

Speaking of winning…
-
Also i nominate @Crimsonorblue22 for the nostradamus name award. How tf did you know?!?!
-
@Jethro I’ve been waiting for this. I forgot to hit record on the championship game, dumb me.
-
@approxinfinity know what?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 that we would win in 22 when you chose that name.
-
@approxinfinity lol!
-
@approxinfinity 22 National champs, 12 National runners up, 02 FF 92 upset loss between FF appearances, 52 National Champs. Good things happen in 2 years and of course 88 and 08 (and 18). Of course that doesn’t give us much hope for the next 6 years does it?
-
@wissox i am hopeful someone just forgot they left the light switch on for the 6 years in between.
-
@Jethro Thank you! I had not been able to find the complete game online (but haven’t looked in a while). I’ve watched all the clips and highlights I could find and the last 3 minutes in full, but not the whole game.
The night of the championship game I was on a train to the Arctic, with no internet or cell service. Hit a pocket of service around midnight and found out I had missed the biggest comeback in the history of the NCAA championship. Woke up half the train.
I scheduled this trip back when we weren’t playing well, and thought the chances of us playing that night were remote. I was punished for my lack of faith. Still pretty happy with the outcome.
-
@tundrahok I thought it was weird you weren’t with us that night! What a night.
-
@tundrahok Interesting story! Can I ask what you were doing up in the Arctic? If I’m prying too much just say nunya and I’ll stop! Just curious.
-
@wissox Wildlife research on the tundra and the edge of the boreal forest. I traveled up with 4 grad students who are not basketball fans (they have nothing against it, just don’t follow). They gave me grief when I originally said I didn’t want to travel on that day, just in case. For future trips I’m going to have to remember who is in charge, and sets our priorities!
-
@wissox he’s an amazing guy! But so humble.
-
@tundrahok sounds like the guy in never cry wolf!
-
@wissox I haven’t eaten a lemming yet, but I’ve been tempted…
