Play Hard Chart

@JayHawkFanToo I was just crying because I knew you had (sniff) forgotten me…
-
@BeddieKU23 agreed. He hasn’t been the same since his son walked on to a rival Big 12 team

Listening to this Baylor osu game is a nice change of pace! No cheerleading or judging.
Too bad OSU sucks tonight. Baylor is not their superbowl.
And yes it’s so noticeable how different the commentary is
-
OSU within 3 with 1:19 to go
-
Correction, 1 point game…
-
@JayHawkFanToo said:
lots of spousal capital
As it turns out, not so much! Really wasn’t a game worth staying for (SC had 10 FGs entire freaking 4 OT game??) so I was just laughing too hard at the irony to be able to cash in with any real “look what you did” pouting. No new car. (Maybe I can get Fran to buy me one for trying to defend his trouble-making self?)
-
Oh no! Fran doing ou wv game. Miles stayed home, on crutches w/sprained ankle.
-
Fran Fraschilla shows up to every KU game that he can, hoping that we will lose. He spends much of his time advising the audience what oponents need to do to defeat Kansas. It is really quite sad. Last year, he tried to convince viewers that Frank Mason was not even in the discussion of best guards in the country and has been eating his words ever since. I could really do without him. He always talks about New York, so he should call Syracuse or even Iona games and I think we would all be happy. At least I know I would.
-
Baylor barely escapes stillwater with a 3 point win.
-
I don’t know…that game broke all kinds of records and will be remembered for a while.
I don’t believe Fran is buying anyone related to KU any thing, any time soon.
-
So far Fran has only said Frank looked fatiqued the other night
-
@JayHawkFanToo Interestingly, although we watched and heard Frank Martin screaming at his players many times, afterwards he blamed himself. Said they were too tired because he ran them too hard in practice.
If he ever looked at me the way he glares at his players, I think my soul would shrivel up and die.
-
Watching OU/WVU and that jackhole Fran claims Lucas is a flopper. What a tool Fran is. #kubball
-
Brutal, if only they had tried for the first 10+ minutes of the 2nd half like they tried at the end.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I heard him on Mark Packer’s show yesterday say “A lot of KU fans think I root against them.” He knows what he said was true but then said nothing as to WHY fans feel that way.
-
I think this chart shows what our PLAYING HARD has resulted in:
-
@JayHawkFanToo Aunt Franny gets the vapors at times. You’ll have to forgive her, as she says silly things.
-
@mayjay Think about it…what announcers do we like as a group? Answer: none of them. The only ones I like are the guys broadcasting from the Jayhawk network? ( you all would know them better than me, as I don’t live anywhere near the KC area. ) I think Chris piper from the '88 team does the color. I can’t recall the play by play guy, but I think he’s the guy who used to call the Royals games. Like I said, you all would know.
-
@KUSTEVE Dave Armstrong is the one with Piper.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I did hear that, but actually I took it in the context of a compliment. I felt the same way at the time. It felt like Frank was having a lousy game, but then you look at the stat sheet and you’re like " Hmmmm - if that’s a lousy game, I hope he has a lot more lousy games".
It reminded me of when Nick Collison would have 22 pts and 17 rebounds and you were like “really, i didn’t even know Nick was playing today?”
-
When the talk after a game is about the refs, it means it was a poorly officiated game.; when the game is properly officiated, nobody talks about the refs. Likewise, when Fran feels he must address the issue of “fans thinking he roots against KU,” there must be some or a lot of truth to it, otherwise why would he do it?
-
Fran’s simply trying to keep the audience interested in-yet-another-KU-B12-win, by suggesting at various junctures what the opposing team needs to do to beat KU. And if the other team beats KU, he will get props, and it would jolt subsequent games’ ratings. The “go thru Kansas” line has been polished repeatedly for 3-4 years now.
Doesnt mean KU fans wont like him, for suggesting anti-KU plays or strategies, but I think he’s just playing viewership.
-
OK, so pretty much a 100% thing Fran kind of sucks. - So who do we think is one of the better one’s? – Me personally? - - Kind of like Jay Williams, pretty much is at the top for me - -Then I even like Seth some also , who does everyone else like? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
We play hard and beat KU all over the court…AGAIN… - Weber
And yet you lose everytime… - Ref
-
I vote for Bill Walton.
