You better not pout... You better not cry...

Silvio is coming to toooown… Merry Christmas all my fellow KU basketball addicts! I have a deep and pervading affection for all your affectations! Thank you for being you!
I’ve been voraciously reading Beyond the Streak. Great stuff! Would love to start a book club thread with a spoiler alert disclaimer to discuss some of the things that they address. Let me know who has it / is getting it. I’m on page 40. That is right about the 2005-06 Big 12 championship revenge game against Texas. It’s slow going because I find myself reflecting on every game or event they discuss, and then what it has meant for every subsequent generation of Jayhawks and our perceptions, recruiting, Self’s philosophies, etc. It’s like reading this board except where @jaybate-1-0 has turned into Stephen Vinson, @HighEliteMajor has turned into Matt Kleinmann, @Crimsonorblue22 has turned into RussRob and @wrwlumpy has turned into Mario Chalmers.
Anyway… merry Christmas and remember, the streak survived Aldridge, Daniel Gibson, AJ Abrams and PJ Tucker when we had Vinson, Moody, Hawkins, Kleinmann and a bunch of freshmen and sophomores! Buckle up guys, it’s going to be a hell of a ride.

Merry Christmas… to all! RCJH!

I’m around page 160…glad to hear you picked it up. It has been a lot of fun to read. There have been a lot of comments from former players who have triggered memories for me regarding specific conversations posters have had in the past. For example, Brady Morningstar. It is very clear and evident that that the players had a completely different perspective about B Star than the posters did.
Happy Holidays!

@Blown nice! That will be very interesting. I liked how the players were very optimistic after the 2006 loss to an experienced Bradley team and that the feeling was completely different than after the Bucknell loss. We sometimes tend to lump losses together and gloss over the differences.
-
@jayballer54 you too buddy. Be safe and wish our burnt orange friends well for me, and whatever other exotic message boards you might wander to this holiday season. Merry Christmas!
-
@drgnslayr Rock chalk! Next year we are planning to reboot our garden. Looking forward to talking with you about it after we cut down the nets in April!
-
Wishing a Merry Christmas to all my fellow forum members and a Great New Year, hoping it brings a National Title.
-
@JayHawkFanToo i will hope too of course, but I’m curious if our tempered expectations on this year’s post season has heightened the importance of the streak this year?
-
I remember back when the steak was in its third year thinking how great it was and how disappointed I’ll be when Texas overtakes us. Well Texas isn’t quiet what they used to be and I still haven’t felt that level of disappointment. Sure it’s a bummer not winning it all every year, but there is a ton to be thankful for!
Merry Christmas all!

@approxinfinity No pouting or crying just hoping the NCAA does right by a young man that is CLEAN, and clears him to play asap. He has worked so hard for this opportunity. Now let’s watch as the NCAA does what they do best…smh.

Merry Christmas, everyone. A special Xmas greeting goes out to our friend Rooster, and his family. Merry Xmas, guy! Thank you for being part of our Buckets community.

@truehawk93 Don’t eat Bevo though, probably tastes bad.

-
Happy Holidays to the Buckets family. By far the best kubball forum on the web.
-
Merry Christmas to all of you. You folks are important and essential ingredients to my waking hours.
-
@BShark Bevo tastes just fine, maybe a little salty though.

Merry Christmas to you all! These pages are one of my daily stops, usually frequent in nature. When I look at the SB nation sites and see the profane filth appears on those pages it’s too much for this older fan. Haven’t found a good page for White Sox fans, Badger fans, so I rarely visit.
