Why does Purdue get an extra day of rest before we play them? Is it because it’s a home game for KU?
-
I’ve spent some time wondering why the games are set up the way they are also.
I was also curious why the # 1 seeds don’t find out their play in opponents until Wednesday while others have more time to prep.
The entire tourney has to be logistical nightmare so there are just likely to be unavoidable things like this.
If you look at it down the road, and if Kansas wins, It could buy them an extra day’s rest for the FF.
-
@wrwlumpy The pod system sets up these incongruities. Trying to get as many teams playing near home as possible means teams get extra rest compared to their opponents.
-
Basil Smotherman listed under stats but not on roster. Jacquil Taylor and Matt Haarms listed on roster but not on stats, I take it they are red shirts?
-
Their campus looks like the NATO complex in Belgium. Wow.
-
Engineering school…'nought said.

So they can’t use lack of preparation time as an excuse after we lay waste to their FF dreams.
-
Ever see a boiler explode?
No?
Prepare to see one on Thursday in the Sprint Center.
-
KU is favored by 5.
-
@wrwlumpy Sorry lump, late to da party & haven’t read the whole thread…But ya know what they say in Southbend ?
“Rudy woulda been a starter at Purdue !!”
-
I haven’t felt this comfortable about a win since December (discounting uc davis of course) short of the big dog, caunzo, and Hummell getting in a time machine and suiting up Thurs night…I don’t see any possibility KU loses.
With JJ and mason driving at will…they are getting layups or getting swanigan in foul trouble. Either way, it’s a win win scenario.
-
Sagarin has KU by 1.5, Massey KU by 3.5, Vegas opened at 4.5 and it is now 5 for KU. I take KU.
Gonzaga favored by 3 points over WVU. I will take Huggie and the points.
Baylor 3 point favorite over USC. Take Baylor.

@drgnslayr I received my journeyman Mechanic card in boilermakers when I was 28. I’ve seen plenty of that type damage in my life. Didn’t know I was claustrophobic until stuck in the opening tube after sandblasting the inside of one when I was a younger helper. My mechanic had left for some reason & I was freaked out scared plum
less. Eventually let my card expire & had a 30 year career as a welding inspector. Made a damn good living as a blue collar guy then rode into the sunset with 30 & out. Have been retired almost 9 years now-God is Good & we’re livin lake life at da rock. Table Rock that is… todays temp abt 90 deg…

@wrwlumpy Amelia Earhart! That’s so cool! I was in DC recently and got to see her plane and exhibit at the Smithsonian. Very cool stuff.

@globaljaybird
Really enjoyed your post!
-
@drgnslayr I was there once and it’s not the most scenic campus, nor is it the most scenic town. The best part about it is its’ proximity to Chicago and Indianapolis!
-
Lotta bottom row of the cheerleader pyramid material there.
-
@globaljaybird My stomach has felt like that back in my less intelligent days when I drank boilermakers.
-
I was thinking the same thing but I was hesitant to say it. Kudos, you did it very diplomatically.
-
@brooksmd Now & then I wll still chase a shot o brandy with an ice cold
, but it’s gotta dang near be frozen for the taste buds to accept everything…
-
@globaljaybird I thought a boilermaker was with bourbon? Never had one, though.
-
-
Here’s the mindset I want our guys in - Take no prisoners.
Crank up your volume to 11 to listen to this properly. Gonna scare the neighbors. Old but appropriate for this March and our warriors.
If that doesn’t get your blood flowing nothing will.

Jayhawks are in the House.

Now you’ve done it. The KC Star will be so upset that will stop reporting KU stories incorrectly and will start creating new fake ones instead.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Heck, compared to national news, KC Sports is novice apprentice. Ya gotta be consummate master of all apprentices in order to dominate in the world of fake news.

,Have no clue how I edited this post but

@JayHawkFanToo I’ve just got this feeling also, I think West Virginia has this. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Any idea why they are the late game?
Shouldn’t higher seeds be given benefit of extra rest for the second game.
Noted the other higher seeds have the early start times…
-
@Blown I really don’t think a couple hours makes a huge difference outside of playing the next day, Purdue had a extra day compared to us but we still got 4 days between games.

@Blown It is all about TV

Thank goodness, or we would not have nearly as much viewing to complain about! Remember the good old days of regional coverage on CBS in the damned tournament?
