Meltdown 3.0
-
@kuballin10 I was telling my dad (who’s lived in Austin, TX in for the past 40 years) about the displeasure of KU fans with Bill Self.
He said "send the sonofabitch down here. We could stand to win a few Conference and National Championships.
There’s probably a lot of teams that feel that way. Coaches need to coach, but players need to play too.
-
@nuleafjhawk He went out and hand picked his roster 2 years in a row and it is a complete disaster because he can’t fit the pieces
I’d send him down there to Texas real quick and watch him struggle just like Cal is doing
-
@nuleafjhawk somebody asked CB which players he’d play and he said the ones that play for the name on the front on their jerseys.
-
@nuleafjhawk he ain’t doing neither up here anytime soon so go right on ahead
-
@nuleafjhawk Your dad’s a wise man.
-
@kjayhawks I bet Bill Self wins a conference title sometime soon.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Well that leaves Storr out then for sure
-
@Jhawk69 he ain’t this season
-
@kuballin10 I have got a serious question for you. Has life dealt you a rough hand ? – You just seem bitter/hateful , are you ever happy ? I’m worried about you.
The only answers I can give you advice would be , if your so miserable and disappointed with KU Basketball - -if you have such a dislike for Coach Self , then the answer I would think would be pretty simple and obvious. Just do yourself a favor , just go and cheer for ANOTHER team. Nobody gonna be mad at ya if you start to cheer for another School. - -Do yourself a favor I think what there is like over 300 Schools you can cheer for right ?
Should be asy to pick ONE out of over three hundred.-- Would be really beneficial for you , cause you less stress , help your blood pressure, Seems pretty simple, I mean your obviously stressed beyond infinity- -your dis-like for Coach Self is off the charts. -Why would ANYBODY want to live that way must be terrible.-- -Do yourself a favor— - GO be happy, relax enjoy. Hell you can even drop us a post card every now and then tell how good your new team is doing , you can refresh us all how much you can’t stand Coach Self- - It’ll be fun - - - HEY got a great School would love to have you – go cheer for Niagra they will love to have your cheery attitude— probably even let you tell the Coach how to run their Grand Scheme — - ya that’s it- -life will have a MUCH better look when you find your new NCAA Champ-- - just sayin.
-
How many NCAA titles has Calipari won with ALL that talent - - all those Five Stars he has had when at Kentucky ?- -What is Calipari’s record THIS year with all the talent he has ?-- just asking for a friend
Not sure but MAYBE-- just Maybe he has had some rotation problems with who should be on the floor and should be playing more minutes – Doesn’t seem to be enough Basketballs to go around.
Self has done more while at KU with four stars- -players ranked from the upper teens though fifty developing , then /Calipari ever has with kids who are # 1- --on through ### 10 in the Nation - -just saying for a friend

@SlimShaddy54 I’m a complete 180 in life lol. For my sports teams I’m negative and have always been. The good Lord has blessed me more than I’d ever deserved but sure it isn’t with out trial - that’s the fallen world we live in
Believed in the royals in 14-15
Believed in the chiefs that 2019-2020 season but have doubted them these other titles
Hawks had me legitimately depressed in the vcu loss….havent ever gotten over that one
Idk the more I’ve deep dived Self the more I’m not impressed because we don’t peak for the title we get upset or lose “to the champ” which just shows we didn’t reach the ultimate goal. This little 12 streak is shown that once real teams came in there is no chance we do that again. Great we were the Gonzaga of the little 12 and go figure just like the zags we fall short in March so that doesn’t do it for me and shouldn’t be paraded like some awesome accomplishment. We have the best home court advantage in all of sports imo……well until juan, kj and Hunter got here thst is
He’s had some great rosters and he’s had the pick of the litter in the portal with Hunter and aj and rylen ect and for us to roll out the same 1 and 4 and go figure he can’t make the pieces work but “it’s the players fault” not the guy who said - “never happening again” after last year and it is happening again this year
He’s the problem and he isn’t winning another title even if he has the best roster.
FYI uconn about to be peaking after their Marquette win….anyone want to see who goes further in the tourney? Their coach is a complete tool but he’s adapted his schemes and Bill’s playing 3 bigs because he’s truly a stubborn mule
-
@Jhawk69 not the ultimate goal and won’t be this year
-
What’s sad is if not for Houston and Baylor meltdowns we are probably front runners in Big 12 race right now
-
I understand the frustration. The last two years we start off strong then fizzle.
At Kansas, we take our coaches to a different level. That’s why we don’t have a revolving door policy at head coach. Just look at the pathetic purple kitties.
Dumping Bill doesn’t solve any problems and only opens up new ones. Who would replace him? Like I said, we look for longevity in our head coach.
Take a moment, breathe deep, and think about the details. If we let go of Bill right now there would be a whole lot of ticked off Jayhawk fans that don’t want that. I bet it would be about 90% of the base right now.
So it would be a very controversial situation, and I’m guessing Bill isn’t ready to go. Bill is the type of guy who will gladly leave when the time is right, and knowing him, he would work with the AD for a smooth transition.
Just take a look at WSU. Of course, they aren’t KU. But they are in seriously sh*tty shape and it starts from a long time back with Marsha… his firing raised heat. Then because it was a sudden move, hiring his assistant, Brown, was a problem. Then dumping Brown was a problem. All that baggage has made it a mountain for their current coach, who is already on the hot seat. They are stuck. If they dump on Miles there is no way they recruit a decent coach again, let alone, talented players.
Bill still is gifted enough to bring in a good recruit class for next year. He still has a lot more pluses than negatives, especially when you look broadly at the situation.

One of Self’s mentors, Leonard Hamilton announced he is retiring at the end of this season. FSU has struggled in the NIL era after being a consistent Sweet 16 caliber team pre-Covid.

@kuballin10 I get just as hot, depressed , as anyone else. I’ve learned that I let my immediate reactions to really hamper in the over all grnd scheme of things, it’s taken away from the true joy of the game for me some. I HAVE found out that there is life after College sports , there are a lot of things that can be enjoyed. I think people can’t understand well as for me anyways what a joy it is to be able to just sit back and watch a really god College Baketball game.
Houston is good- - really good for example but it’s not a team I could ever root for, Calvin Sampson way of playing just isn’t for me- -to defensive ugly games --What I actually prefer is a team that can get out and RUN – RUN - -RUN and yes Coach self really doesn’t do that as much for my liking either - - I love the free flow - -Run Baby run -outscore us, may not be the winning way but just what i like. You know or should know my biggest complaint is Dickinson, I think he is just not a fit at all. He is to slow, way to slow, the only time he can get really good outputs when he comes up against smaller posts. You match him up with equal size and talent he is a no show.- Huge liability on defense. You constantly ragging on KJ & Juan I duplicate on Hunter.
I’ll agree with you to A POINT on Coach Self-- he does seem to favor saying it’s who he trusts , but I’m not going to be a Coach Basher and sys oh fire Bill, the Blame is for sure not all Bill. These cuddled kids have got to step up and take accountability, I’m so tired of people making up excuses all the time for players- - they have to execute
The Streak that Coach Self and teams accomplished your right will NEVER be done again by any team— any conference, Whole different time frame-- -whole diffeent Era- -Talent to spread out-- - NIL-/ Portal.
Like I said earlier game time I get to wrapped up honestly, don’t think logically , more even tempered – I react , spout off-- make an ass out of myself with remarks sometimes-- of Course my Drinks might have something to do with that lol.-- you just got to chill man, your wish will probably come to reality in a year or two --not by the University doing but Coach Self himself.-- I will always respect Coach Self-- love himor hate him I’ll always respect him
-
@Jhawk69 we completely gave away WV, Baylor and Houston games or we are in the catbird seat right now. I’m honestly wondering if we can even go 5-5 in our last 10 games at this point.
-
Coach Self will be here next season and I’m okay with that on most levels. He is only 3 years removed from a national title. Serious question is it time to make some staff changes?
-
Well here is facts you just can’t hide, was listening to the pod cast this afternoon ( Could be Wrong ) is the name of it. Group of four that’s deals wiwth Ku one is pretty tight intel. Couple of things, one stated and you think about it seems fair pretty true
We all love KJ but one guy said & makes sense. He said it’s not that KJ does a lot of Negative things but it’s just offset from his lack of positive things. Prett solid.
Another thing that was aid, and I agree and that was IF- -IF it does come down to a point where it’s next year or the year after or five years When Coach leaves it needs to be on his terms --Not being fired but Coach just calling it quits, not him going some where else but hm leaving for Golf -I Agree, the guy has done so much with our program.
Then they brought out and there is no hiding facts when they staring you right in the face and that is as far as KJ goes , Kj when he shoots mid range jumper , anything out side the paint- – - - -is three for twenty three, THAT’S NEEDLESS TO SAY IS not good,- -KJ in the paint or at the rim- ----twewlve out of nineteen , doesn’t knock your socks off either.-- facts don’t lie , KJ is just really limited offensively.
-
Another streak probably coming to an end tonight:- - KU is 48— -1 in all time Big Monday games - - & KU is 37- – -0 with Coach Self-- -more streaks more likely then not that will be broken tonight
-
Lets not get crazy now. Until it happens it hasnt.
-
I can see us winning the next five games. Every game I have seen a path to a win and feel perplexed when it doesn’t happen. Just if this thing or that will happen and I hope this thing or that doesn’t happen. You coach between games and coach during games to support your strategy. It’s up to players after that.
-
What are the odds Self got on here and read what I said? Haha literally did everything I said he should…. Or am I secretly Bill Self
-
@kjayhawks i think unless he lives under a rock he has been hearing things from a lot of places recently
-
Why would he listen to u guys
Gurley talked about being on social media listening to all the “coaches” that know more than a hofer!
