Jan 16 Headlines: Experts reassess KU and anticipate KU vs OSU
-
@wrwlumpy when are these expected to be finished? Really nice!
-
@wrwlumpy OMG!
Its better than where the Dean’s live.
-
Lumpy you best be joking!
-
@Blown Enjoy the game. If we lose, there’s no doubt who is catching the blame. I hope you have attended several wins as well? Again, enjoy!
Countless wins, but the losses are the ones I remember
…Except the 20 point comeback versus Durant.

The photo above I believe is from One of Tiger Woods past estates.
-
So, I learn Blown graduated from KSU. Things just don’t make sense anymore. I’ll toss in a blockbuster then. I was born in … yes … Missouri. Quite disturbing.
-
@jaybate : Another conspiracy… is @Blown really Sheahon?
And it’s ok @HighEliteMajor , after college I moved to missouri. Wife and I plan to move back to KCK 'burbs once our youngest graduates.
-
Wow… suddenly all the confessions…
Everyone with a confession has to meet over at Jaybate’s posting on basketball lent. Read his post 3 times and say 100 “Hail Marys” before Saturday’s tip-off.
I’ll have to do the same, because I broke my basketball fast early.
“Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee…” X 100…
-
@Blown. If you go and they win, you have to go to every game the rest of the season.
-
@HighEliteMajor very!
-
@drgnslayr PHOF!! But why do they have to throw 100 long passes to the end zone?
-
Your atonement is not complete until sister Ophelia raps you on the knuckles 5 times with a wooden ruler…
-
@Blown - I obviously don’t know the circumstances of your tragedy, but I’m glad that you are doing well now.
I heard some outstanding advice on a talk show last night - " Turn your tests into testimonies and your messes into messages ".
Maybe that was you…

Guys, I’ve added the daily threads to this main daily thread instead of posting them all individually on the front page. I think this makes the flow cleaner and more manageable. I’m going to try to do it this way going forward unless there are objections.
These are the perceived advantages:
- This way, anyone with thread admin rights can assist in adding posts to the daily list by editing the main post, meaning we’re not as behind the ball linking our threads to the front page until when bskeet or I get a chance to do so.
- You can find postings by the date of their post more easily.
- The front page is cleaner and doesn’t get massively long fast.
-
@Blown Just watch from home or the bar dude.
-
@approxinfinity (and @bskeet ) this all looks great. Really appreciate all of your work and effort here.
-
Man I LOVE this board and this thread! @approxinfinity for President!!!
-
@Blown thanks for sharing! @HighEliteMajor may I ask where your name has it’s origins? I dig it even w/out knowing!
-
@VailHawk : Allow me: HEM (HighEliteMajor) has one of the coolest screen names, as it represents a basketball program that is several steps above “mid-major” programs…get it? High-major or elite programs => HighEliteMajor. A cool way of saying “royalty” level program.
-
Thx @ralster that’s exactly what I wanted it to mean!
-
@drgnslayr I’ll opt to join the confession brigade, along with HEM and Kip. Born in Missouri, I live in Missouri most of the calendar years; have never earned credits at KU. My son and wife invested quality time at the university, and I have competed on the KU track. I am an aging rabid convert to Jayhawk Basketball via Matrimony and various Friendships. Happily, I fire up the computer every morning to catch the latest in Jayhawk Hoops news/posts before breakfast. My conversion dates to the last third of the Roy years, and I have missed very little print during the Bill Self ascension to the throne. Not a highly astute Xs and Os basketball man, my penchant for posting lies more in the realm of sports psychology and homespun surety regarding interaction between and among coaching/training professionals and their not so humble minions. KU Basketball has become a comfortable joy to fill many daily minutes of my twilight years.
-
@REHawk thx for sharing! I, like most quasi-sane board rats was totally opposed to the Facebook login travesty at a certain publication. However, I feel like KU Buckets is a safe place to share our identities. Let’s start w @jaybate, what’s your SS# and mothers maiden name?
-
Born an Arizonan; blessed to be a Jayhawk. My soul is clean; I’ve rooted for no other.
-
@ralster thanks for the explanation. Right on target. I did have some scrub at kusports.com refer to me as LowAverageMinor a few times. Quite ingenious. But then I saw the derivatives of Jaybate’s screen name and I didn’t feel as violated …
@VailHawk - Well, thank you. Pretty much as Ralster said. It was just a way of emphasizing that we are talking about KU hoops, and (arrogantly) not the little people of college basketball. In that sense, I always felt out of place posting about football.

I’m born and raised in Kansas, but left many moons ago to see if the grass was greener on the other side… in several countries.
I discovered some places have greener grass, some have brown grass… and none of that related to the enjoyment of my life. “Home is where you lay your head.” Consequently, I now live in Pillow, Kansas… 4 miles west of Bedspread, Kansas.
I’ve always smiled through all the golden waving wheat in Kansas every June… I never try to convince anyone to come here and live because I like peace and quiet! Things haven’t changed so much here (compared to other places)… and that drives some people crazy. I like the consistency… and not having my roots pulled on constantly because of living in a place that feels the need to change every 15 minutes.
If you like it here, too… please, please… keep it to yourselves. We don’t want Kansas to become the next fad place for people to move to.

Jason King just produced a fabulous Wiggins interview, BLEACHER REPORT. Lots of comments from KU coaches, Andrew and family.
