KU vs the Purps
-
@JayHawkFanToo Too bad on your hearing. I had a friend who was an Army Armor officer. He lost a lot of his hearing, but in one ear only, from the cannon on his tank because of the way he would stand and from not wearing the famed Michael Dukakis “ears”. Forgot to mention it when he had his outprocessing physical, when it was probably only 15-20%. Grew to about 50 to 70% 15 years later. I grew to be very sympathetic with his problem–but it was kind of funny when his wife would reach over and turn his head so he could hear her. They always laughed.
-
My hearing loss is not severe but enough that in a group setting it is difficult to make out the details or light sounds. I can function just fine without hearing aids and my world is much quieter without them since I cannot hear things like the clicking of the keyboard keys or the turn signal indicator. With hearing aids I can hear all these sounds and the world becomes a very, very loud place…oh well.
-
I too have a significant hearing loss. I was at the KU/KSU game in AFH and was quite comfortable with the noise until Svi hit the game winning layup. Then it was HOLY SH_T, thay hurt!
-
Where is everybody?
-
Ffs. Dunk the ball
-
@DoubleDD where u been?
-
Hot hot here
-
Oh to be 22 and 6’10"
-
Josh Jackson with the nasty D.
-
Sadly my profession has caused me to do some unwanted traveling. Yet I still watch as much as I can.
-
@cragarhawk Until you’re 42 and 6’10". Ouch.
-
At 38 and a 20 year floor installer I already know ouch… but I could dunk the ball in HS at 5’ 10"
-
That TCU player really thinks they’re going to win. LOL
-
Was that real hair or some kind of hair net?
-
@mayjay Your friend can still go to the VA and probably get hearing aids. I retired from the AF in '87 and though I had some hearing loss it wasn’t enough to warrant hearing aids or disability… Over the years it became worse and after a review by the VA of my records and career fields that involved noisy conditions (not aircraft related) I was awarded 10% disability and hearing aids about 4 years ago… And it was only one ear. Have him get in touch with his local state Dept of Veterans Affairs for assistance. I say state as the VA denied my original request and I turned everything over to my local rep and he took it from there. Only wish I had done it sooner as I paid for my own several years before to the tune of $5000.00.
-
Like the energy but still very frustrated by the overhelping - given up three threes because of it. Isnt a three worth more than a two?
-
@DoubleDD You mean on #34 for TCU? I was wondering the same thing.
-
Yea it looks fake. I can’t tell.
-
Off to locker room
-
F bomb
-
It got real quiet in Allen Fieldhouse.
-
He’ll be alright.
-
Giving up way too much dribble penetration.
-
-9 rebounds… How are we gonna play a real basketball team…
-
Real team? Um KU 4 and o against top 10
-
@DoubleDD Thank you.
-
@cragarhawk so baylor, wvu, Kentucky and duke don’t count? Remember, ku is everyone’s super bowl
-
Oh carlton- great play, terrible play
-
This game matters too. If you don’t think getting outrebounded by a midmajor team in the second round of the tourney can cost you a season. You haven’t been paying attention.
-
Our slow starts are really getting old.
-
And isn’t it actually 5-2 vs the top ten?
-
@stoptheflop well, the problem is shot making. This team has struggled the last three weeks or so shooting the ball. Can’t have runs and quick starts without the ball going in the hoop.
-
Shooting 30% meh
-
Fisher is being allowed to shoot uncontested shots. Why does our defense stick at the beginning of AFH games?
-
I suppose next we’ll hear that winning the NC is the only thing that matters. Oh well…
-
Is Bragg wearing skates? Slipping and falling.
-
No you haven’t been paying attention. KU has a limited bench. They can’t just hang all that there. They have to pick they’re moments. This isn’t the typical Coach team. This one is special.
-
Has Josh come back out?
-
@stoptheflop overhelping my friend. I’m starting to think Self preaches protecting the paint over a wide open shot.
-
KU isn’t trying to win rebounding battles right now. Self has them more focused on defense than rebound so KU doesn’t puck up cheap fouls fighting for rebounds and so they can get back on defense.
-
Its not. But if it isn’t the first thing on your list then why play? Isn’t it what every teams goal should be?
-
@JayhawksandChill But our Mr. Bragg is rebounding and scoring, 3 rbs and 6 pts.
-
@DoubleDD no I pay attention real well. And if you play like this against a fundamentally sound and hungry mid major second round you go home. And I’ve seen it. Multiple times. And so have you. Don’t need to pretend this is any different. Give credit where credit is due. But you don’t if it isn’t. That’s a recipe for mediocrity
-
Jackson back on the bench.
-
Josh
-
Sigh.
-
You can’t even see greatness when it’s in front of you.
-
Thank god JJ’s back in!
-
Minor sprain of the lower ankle??
-
Are you kidding me Bragg and more Bragg
