Do we root for Baylor tonight?
-
Sic 'em
Does everyone like mean angry bear?
Hung over bear?
Or Flirty bear?
-
@jaybate-1.0 Go Bears! (And I didn’t think either Fred or Ethel were that funny)
-
For one night, Go Bears! But, I hope we don’t have to do this (cheering for others) again. Main thing is to win our remaining home games. RCJH!
-
Howling!
-
Thank you BEARS!

Just goes to show how tricky humor is to do, and that trickiness is what I like about it so much. I used to roar at Fred’s droll put downs of Ethel. And think Ethel was not funny. loved Lucy and Desi in the TV show. They made one of the worst movies ever towing that house trailer. My boyhood friend used to roar at Ethel. You found neither funny. My dad used to split a gut at MASH to TV show, which I always thought had been neutered from Robert Altman’s movie of MASH. My father hated Altman’s movie. I used to love Jerry Lewis Nutty Professor and hated Eddie’s version of it. And saw Jerry Lewis interviewed and loved Eddie’s version, which Jerry put up the money for. I love every Chris Rock stand up I’ve ever seen, and find all of his movies not funny. Adam Sandler? People love the guy and I have never laughed once. One of my best friends can’t get one yuck from Woody Allen and I laugh the minute I see him walk across the screen even in a drama. Jack Benny supposedly could not keep from cracking up if George Burns just walked in the room. George was never funny. Only Gracie was funny. George Carlin? Funny before the existential crisis. Funny after. Gallagher? I have set in a room full of people laughing and I want to leave. Sam Kinison was the funniest human I ever saw. Period. Ever. I have a friend that actively hated him. My brother and I loved Ernie Kovacs. I always keep a DVD of his. My mother? She thought Ernie sucked. I loved everyone on the old Mary Tyler Moore show but Ted Baxter. Everyone else I ever met loved Ted Baxter. Mel Brooks movies? Hysterical. Mel Brooks live? I want to flee the room. Ben Stiller in almost any movie? Funny. Ben Stiller interviewed on a talk show? Billy Crystal doing anything but the Oscars? Funny. Seinfeld stand up? OMG, I am laughing so hard I am crying. Seinfeld TV show? I was desperate for it to end, so I would not have to listen to any more people talking about it how funny it was, because it NEVER made me laugh. Billy Crystal doing Sammy Davis Jr.? Wetting my pants funny! Billy Crystals doing the Oscars? I literally gave up watching the Oscars for years afterwards. Oscar Levant is the only guy that ever made me laugh no matter what he did. Books, movies, concerts, TV, it didn’t matter. The guy could not be NOT funny. But I am in this club of 3, or 4, that ever liked him. Victor Borge reading punctuation and doing schticks at the piano? I can’t stop laughing even after I know he’s dead. But Victor didn’t do anything else. I probably would have laughed, if he had though. And so it goes.

Thank you Scott Drew
-
Baylor wins 79 to 70 over Iowa State !! Awesome !!!
-
Gotta defend our court!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I am happy with the result but I don’t like the taste. We must take care of our own business!
-
The best Root of the year!
-
We are going to go through Texas like crap through a goose, then we are going to slice Huggie’s man bra and his stinking press like a thousand razor blades, then we are going down to Norman and we going blaze through Lon’s unibrow and his little red defenders like Auric Goldfinger’s industrial laser cutting the steel table between James Bond’s legs and say, when Lon is asking if we expect him concede, “No, Mr. Kruger, we expect you and your team to die!”
Rock Chalk!!!
Eleven is our lucky number.
-
@Kip_McSmithers Never thought I would say it either, but thank you Scotty
-
Log jam right behind us. And we got two of those 10-5 teams still on our schedule. Ain’t gonna be easy, boys better pack an extra lunch for these next three games.
-
Winning is our business. Our only business!!!
-
I decided I do want to win the BigXII, again!
-
@jaybate-1.0 Calling all great posters like you to start a thread on how to beat Texas. I always think the coaching staff maybe reading. Please flex your fingers and energize our TEAM. RCJH!

A Bear after a long night in Ames…rightly proudly howling for the Jayhawks to claim their crown.
-
PHOF!!!
-
My cousin’s at VT-Dook game.
-
The Clones have to end their season in Ft Worth. I think we’re in for a fitting end to the season. I have some good vibes coming from cowtown and the Frogs want to end the season on a strong note.
-
@jaybate-1.0 You didn’t think Seinfeld was funny? What about Curb your enthusiasm?
-
Baylor held Iowa State to just four points in the final 6:26, and its hot streak helped the Bears sweep the Cyclones for the first time.
TIP-INS:
Iowa State: This was the first loss to Baylor at home in 13 tries for the Cyclones…Dustin Hogue committed three turnovers in the first four minutes of the second half.
Baylor: The Bears were 7 of 13 on 3s in the first half but just 3 of 7 from the line. They led 40-37 at halftime…Coach Scott Drew used all of his second-half timeouts in less than 12 minutes.
UP NEXT
##Iowa State travels to Kansas State on Saturday.
##Baylor hosts West Virginia on Saturday.
OU has TCU who beat Tech tonight rather handily.
-
The guys need to focus on UT.
I know it’s a football speech, but it’s perfect for basketball too.
Strong speech
Why do I think of Mari as the guy who’s willing to die?
That’s a team.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think you or @Shanghai_RCJH should start a UT thread and let’s start some analyses.
-
Suddenly, attitudes toward the conference race seem to have rebounded!
-
Thank you Baylor- we needed some help.
-
@jaybate-1.0: Thank you, Mr. Gerber.
-
Any one still has any doubts about the strength of the conference? No question that on any given day any team can beat any other team. Hopefully the tough schedule and various styles of play will help conference teams in March.
-
The only time I will ever say this. Thank you Baylor and Scott Drew. Okay that’s over I hope that this thread helped the cause and helped some of us heal back to normal. Now we really control our destiny and just need to take care of business at home.
-
Baylor is a team that can get far in the tournament with its blend of 3 point shooting, odd defense and post players. I wouldn’t be surprised if they made it farther than any Big 12 team again depending on matchup. It’s not like we beat the pants out of them this year
-
Same kind of thing. Love Larry live. Love Larry in interviews and on paper. But Show makes me chuckle, not laugh. Know everyone loves it. Glad everyone loves. . But not in my funny spot. Same deal with Gary Shandling. I saw him live once and I laughed so hard I got as hernia. On TV, not funny. Newhart just the reverse. On TV = funny. Live = not funny. Go figure!!!
I’m a schmendrick! What zit mattuh?
-
Maybe the funniest line I ever read!!!
-
The tournament is all about match-ups…and a whole lot of luck. Most of the time is not as much about how good the other team is but how well it matches up.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Did you mean “all” or perhaps “partially”?
What role does pre-tournament coaching, tournament preparation, player skill, in-game adjustments, and continuity contribute?
-
Just a little hyperbole but not too far off. I am not saying that the other items do not count, of course they do; however, match-ups and luck have a big influence. Just close to home…look at KU in '88, it had no business winning the tournament and yet it did; on the other hand, how many KU teams that were clearly the best that season did not? I can think of a least 2 or 3. Look at the most recent season, KU against any other similarly seeded team other than Stanford (bad match up for KU) advances at least to the next round. Also, who would have predicted UConn winning the title? I will guess no ones, since they were a marginal/barely a top 25 team and yet they won with a good dose of favorable match-ups and a lot of luck. Remember…survive and advance. Just my opinion, no lectures please.
Correction: I apologize if I offended anyone’s sensitivities. Please feel free to lecture away; as always, I reserve the right to not reply.
-
@JayHawkFanToo What is the point of your last sentence? You can recognize, I hope, how that sort of comment is inflammatory, can’t you?
Regardless, I’m not going worry about whether your sensitivities are offended. I’ll lecture if I want, I’ll respond if I want – I’ll leave it to you to draw your line of acceptability. If you don’t like it, or can’t handle an interaction because it gets too rough, then don’t participate. But making admonishments in advance is a bit silly.
-
It was simply a polite request, I did say please, right? …and there you went with your lecture anyway. I rest my case.
-
If you two gents will meet me for a beer summit-I’ll buy.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Enjoy life. Smile.
