@mayjay I really don’t have an issue determining if you is plural or single.
I certainly wouldn’t try to change a culture, just my own kids.
It’s like the old saying clothes make the man. Perception is important. It’s not everything as an enlightened person will look past initial impressions. However, many will not give you a second chance after that first impression. I don’t want my kids to have to cross any unnecessary hurdles, not being able to speak properly (doesn’t have to be every conversation i.e. kid to kid) or write correctly is a major hindrance.
I’m not one to think the southern accent makes one sound less intellegent, the dumb accent is trailerpark-ese.
Is North Carolina considered the south? I’ve never heard my cousins from there say y’all. My family in Arkansas sure does though.
-
@dylans I live in Chapel Hill now, and it’s definitely the south.
-
@mayjay lmao - - I’m not laughing at you here buddy - I’m laughing with you , I’m sure it’s a whole different ball game.
It’s just like many , many years ago when I was in boot camp our TI -that’s what the Air Force calls the instructors instead of DI"S - -anyways he was breaking the different regions of the country and how we talked. - Like the Eastern and their accent - - -The South and yours lol - -and then when he got to the Midwest - he said we all had this drawl -I thought whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? - then he promptly did his imitation of each area - so ya I feel at. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Is valley girl talk still a thing? That was/is painful.
-
@Statmachine Hope Y’All -s doing okie-dok - down in that there Lone Star state. - -Never have understood that phrase - that mean you only have ONE measly LONE STAR lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@dylans NO you mean Young-ins mouths lmao - - Y’ALL need to get it right lmao
-
Romeo will announce April 30th
-
That’s kind of like right here in Kansas. - Down in Wichita the have the Arkansas river that runs through there. - Here in Kansas people in Wichita and surrounding areas - -call it kind of like the AR - - KANSAS - then they have the little AR-KANSAS - but man if you go to the state - -definetly ARKANSAS River - either way you pronounce it somebody gonna be hot lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 Do we really need to hear what his decision is? - Now before last night would of been more interesting- -but after these developments maybe not so much – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 its because Texas thinks it’s it’s own country. Thus the lone star (of 50) that matters. Oh and there is one star on the Texas state flag.
-
@jayballer73 I had a middle school English teacher ridicule me for calling it the Ar-can-saw river instead of the Our-Kansas river. I told her she was stupid. (That didn’t go over too well, but the truth hurts sometimes)
Edit- I don’t really care that much about the pronunciation of the Arkansas river. That’s why I thought she was ridiculous. Jumping on a 13 year old over what amounts to your personal preference to mispronounce a word.
-
@dylans AMMMMM, You bad bad bad. – lol

Interesting timing to put it out there. Hope the recent news didn’t effect anything.

It didn’t. This has been the plan all along. I heard first week of May awhile ago but this is close enough. It’s a Monday, so basically the first week of May.

@FarmerJayhawk Man, if Self pulls off Romeo in the middle of this shitstorm…
-
@FarmerJayhawk Do you think we still have an Iron in this fire? - -I’m just afraid with these new things going down yesterday that it might be just enough to make him shy away from us - and land at Indiana - -I mean these things with the FBI is a big part of why he back off Louisville so why wouldn’t he with us?
-
It will be interesting to see if KU’s name pops up with any recruits or transfers between now and the 30th. It’s been crickets and we know that spot is going to get filled with something
-
@jayballer73 Hardly. lol. That same teacher asked us what the nationalities of people from certain countries were. I.e. Russia -Russians, Spain- Spaniards. When she asked about Poland my buddy pipes up Polock. Apparently that’ll get you detention. She was good at leading us to the noose.
-
@dylans LMAO - -that right there is some crazy stuff lol.- - gotta love it

Oh definitely. I don’t think it affected our chances much, if at all. The difference between us and Louisville is they were already in deep trouble because of the strippers, then the Bowen thing came out with Pitino knowing about it. Totally different from our case in that we had no idea Preston or Silvio’s people took money.
-
@FarmerJayhawk So very true , pretty much what another friend of mine said when mentioning Louisville.- I guess in this particular case I’m just over reacting some maybe. - - With that being said I think it has come down to a two team race for him - - then Ku & Indiana – I think Vanderbilt has kind of faded, they thought it would be more enticing to Romeo if they landed EJ Montgomery along with Garland and I know this isn’t spelled right but Shittu . Now that Montgomery signed with Kentucky - and I read somewhere that Garland had made the comment after the Jordan Brand game that he didn’t feel near as confident about Romeo - makes me think it’s KU or Indiana. - - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

That’s my thought process too. In fact, Romeo just said the FBI ordeal doesn’t affect his opinion or KU’s chances at all. I’m taking him at his word.
-
@dylans Is calling a teacher stupid one of those improper things you think is important to keep your children from thinking is okay? JK!
-
@mayjay …if the shoe fits. But he’d be talking to his momma. The local school couldn’t seem to keep him safe from peanuts and I didn’t want to become a mass murderer after they killed my child. As a bonus he is now getting a top notch education. Massive improvements in math and composition.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Romeo said that? - -where did you see that at? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Romeo would put a nice bow on this stacked class. Charlie Moore, Dedric Lawson, KJ Lawson, Silvio DeSousa, Devon Dotson, Quentin Grimes, David McCormack, Ochai Agbaji. 8 or 9 talented new faces.
-

In the story announcing his decision day. Here’s the excerpt, “Langford said that Tuesday’s news involving Kansas in the FBI’s investigation into college basketball won’t impact his decision.”
-
@dylans That peanut thing is crazy to have to worry about. I don’t envy you. My D-I-L’s niece had to be monitored for 5 years after she reacted badly at 2. Now, recent testing (and retesting) has determined she is no longer sensitive, but we still check with her mom whenever we have all the kids over. Good job avoiding the mass murder thing.
-
@dylans immediate talent not blocking future talent, immediate talent not leaving after one season, and a couple of projects in that group. Some size, some wings, and what looks to be a great floor leader. I’d say one of Bill’s best jobs bringing in a group, if not his best job.
-
Coming from the www.Courier Journal. com site: - - Tim Langford Romeo’s father said Tuesday he and his family would discuss together what Kansas being tied to the FBI’S case on corruption in College Basketball could mean for his son’s impending decision.
Then the Courier says: - -It doesn’t appear Romeo’s feelings have changed about the School ( KU ) - -on Wednsday Tim Langford said he had no comment or update and it appears KU will remain a finalist until Langford announces his decision on April 30th
-
Meyer picked Indiana FYI…
-
We will be just fine without him. Better with him. But fine without. Definitely one less ego or helicopter parent around. If Doke comes back and we lose out on Romeo, I wouldn’t be shocked to see KJ start at the 3.
-
They are announcing at his HS and its open to the Public. This one is over reading the tea leaves

This was always the plan though. I don’t think it’s KU because well yeah but this bit actually doesn’t change anything imo.
-
@BeddieKU23 – Are you saying the tea leaves say IU then?

Yes.
As tight-lipped as they have been with this recruitment I can’t imagine he stands up in front of his peers and desperate IU fans and goes somewhere else. That would be savage. Nobody knows for sure but it certainly seems to be trending their way. Good for them maybe they finish 500 in the Big-10 now
-
If that ends up being his choice, I will be a little butthurt just because he would have unnecessarily drug out his recruitment. I wonder what our backup plan for the 13th scholarship is. I really don’t want to take a transfer unless it is Dedric or Newman level.
-
Why would he wait so long to announce if it was IU? Doesn’t make a lot of sense.
-
I agree.
If we lose this one I think its worse that Archie came to IU and then started recruiting the kid. Self was recruiting him a lot longer then both IU and Vandy’s current staffs.
I think distance is a factor in this. With his dad (who’s heavily involved to say the least) they seem to be all about keeping him close. There are some other details I think are making the difference as well but who cares if he’s not coming here to bother listing them.
We’ll survive without him if that’s what happens but I do think he would have given us that x factor player on the court.

It doesn’t make sense. This is one of those recruitment’s that makes you shake your head at the whole process.
-
@KUSTEVE Well he was the most talked about player at all of the All-Star games because he wasn’t committed anywhere. So maybe his dad wanted them to ride the hype train.
-
Also, a lot of pressure on an Indiana kid to go to IU. IU has had several years where they have missed on their top in-state prospects. That was one of Miller’s major goals when he was hired, so I am not surprised that IU has put on the full court press. The last time Indiana signed the Indiana Mr. Basketball was 2011 (Cody Zeller). That’s a long time for a program like Indiana to miss out on top in-state prospects.

Grad transfer guard imo.
-
@BShark Yea I would think this team could use a sharpshooter.
-
Langford has to choose between joining a team where he would be the final piece towards a national championship or stay in Indiana and speed up the program’s rise to relevance which already took a big step by hiring Archie Miller, perhaps the best of the younger generation of coaches and one that will bring Indiana back to the top 20 in the next 3-5 years but an extremely long shot to being a title contender in the one year he will be there.
-
I still keep thinking how much of a d__k he would have to be to have all these IU fans come and still pick Kansas lol. That would be absolutely savage.
-
Didn’t Alexander do something like that putting on the wrong hat and then switching it to the KU hat?
-
@JayHawkFanToo He did. And it was wrong. And the video’s are absolutely hysterical lol.
-
Bragg announced and said Kentuck…I mean I’m going to Kansas. That was bad too
Now he’s at his 15th school
-
Indiana will be lucky to be 500 next season in the Big-10. Miller is a solid coach but he still doesn’t have a roster built to compete. Langford will definitely fill a big weakness on the team though if he goes that route
