TGIF in Hell

@KUSTEVE While I generally respect Gary Bedore as a hard worker, I remember he was a vocal opponent of anonymous posting. Hey, Gary, the posters have become much more civilized now that they are on Facebook, right?
-
@KUSTEVE I have always liked calling it “dressing a pig in a white shirt”…
-
@KUSTEVE I got the same request to “come back” to KUSports.
I actually go there often…for the articles and to listen to the interviews. But I have no desire to participate in any discussions over there.
-
@icthawkfan316 Agreed. I read every single article but I won’t post. Since the creation of KU Buckets the comments on KU Sports have become less and less informed. A lot of the posts are quite negative which is a bummer. Used to be a great daily thread to read through.
-
@ParisHawk Such a good point! The did away w anonymity to curtail the personal attacks. Now they go after each other even more. LMFAO! When the good posters left, that just created a vacuum for others to fill. Unfortunately, those posters have nothing intelligent to add to the conversation, so they personally attack to get attention. Smh
-
@ZIG It is an ugly mess over there. Rodney the troll keeps 7 fights going all the time.
-
@KUSTEVE Yes, he’s quite skilled at keeping conflict going. He’s like a child who has to get the last word every time. The shame is that he actually does have some intelligent takes, they just tend to be overly pessimistic and he can’t handle and sort of challenges to that pessimism. I learned my lesson long ago to not engage him, as Mark Twain once said, “Never argue w fools, onlookers might not be able to tell the difference.”
-
Howling!
It feels like a game day here for sure!
KU Basketball has room for all kinds of sites and we all need to be friendly.
AND…we all need to be grateful for our gracious fellow Jayhawk fans that put this site up, keep it going, and give us a place to cheer from in the way we like to cheer.
Rock Chalk!!!

I have read ALL of the 15 posts above !! To summarize "it seems like the “old” site ‘KU Sports’ sucks, has no class and can’t match ether the discussion level or the intelligent level of the ‘Posters’ here on KU Buckets. ALL of the POSTERS here on KU Buckets are pleasant, fun to read, and enjoyable!
Thank YOU … APPROX for starting this site … YOU should be proud of yourself for ‘YOUR contribution’ to the JAYHAWKS Sports Family !!
-
Ditto for me. I guess many of us got the same request. On professional forums I post with my own name, on sports forums, I prefer the anonymity as I have heard horror stories resulting from using your real name. My Facebook account is restricted to very close friends and family and I would not want it invaded by trolls.
I go to the other forum occasionally to read stories and look at game pictures; Nick Krug is excellent.

@RedRooster IMO the face gate fiasco on the old site was the best thing that could’ve happen. @approxinfinity & @bskeet had the vision & expertise to start this blog & we’ve gathered pretty much the best of the best board rats from kusports & beyond. We’ve also 30 - 40 guests at any given time which is great too. Virtually devoid of trolls & instigators for over a year now speaks volumes to that we enjoy. Most contributors here are much more open minded to thoughts other than their own, incredibly more intellectual and vast in true game knowledge, and do not feel the need for attention, good or bad, that is rampant on almost any blog. Personally I think we’ve all hit the friggin jackpot here and is hands down, greater in one year than the other site ever was. Plus I can’t neglect to mention one, @civilhawk either, whom if you see his profile, quite tactfully responds only when necessity calls, and dig it-has not had to respond in almost a year. Damn men, it’s game day !! And yes I’ll drink to that !!

@JayHawkFanToo Check out my friend’s photography site at www.moffpix.com Really great Christian person & one heckuva photographer also. He does work for the Royals, Chiefs, BG 12, Baylor, & has had many pics in SI, KCstar, Foxsports, etc. Only bad thing about Jeff (just teasing )is he’s a Baylor grad. I’m still pestering him for my press pass to the BG12 tournament, but the ship hasn’t yet come in. Maybe this is the year ! We wanted Jeff to do our kids wedding in Southbend 5 years ago but unfortunately was booked too far in advance to work out the logistics. We actually both had dogs named Woody at the same time. He’s many pics of his Champion Golden on his site. But I still always told him my Woody (Woodrow) was bigger than his Woody.
-
@globaljaybird Hope the both of you keep your woodies to yourself.
-
@globaljaybird
I will be sure to check the site…
-
Laugh of the day…
-
Talk about wood…this is hilarious…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Big fan of Big Bang and especially Penny.
-
Love Penny
-

Before HD and back when Self had his own hair before the plugs. Closing out the Hearnes Center at Mizzou.
-
Since we’re kind of talking about KUBuckets, is there any way to go back and find my old topics that I have posted?
-
@wissoxfan83 go into your profile on a cpu and you should see your older posts.
-
Well Maybe just a few recent ones. I could be mistaken.
-
@Blown My profile just shows recent ones unfortunately.
-
@wissoxfan83 You might try sending @approxinfinity a chat message - I’ll bet he knows! I’d like to be able to access some old ones every once in a while myself.
-
@nuleafjhawk I’d like to see if I’m getting smarter or dumber since this thing started, although I think I know the answer!
-
@wissoxfan83 we could vote?
