    So, @jayballer73, since you follow other school’s boards… Is the Silo Tech fanbase celebrating the coronavirus because it managed to do something KSt couldn’t do…beat KU?

    • -just been to the board of Arrogance

    Is that us (KU fans have been accused of worse)?

    Umm well let me just say , and say with all bias aside. For those people that are calling us worse - - then they really step outside their selves and take some time and actually read thse boards and post over sometime. NOT just a day - or two days. I’m talking for a month or so , you can then really justify if they think that’s truly the case or not. -I mean you don’t have to engulf yourself - -even just browse - -hell you don’t even have to open the thread on some of these , the title of the thread it’self pretty well can tell you what you need to know , pretty easy to get the jest of where it’s leading.

    Others that I have taken the time to read -just solidifies my stance. So for someone who wants to try and compare the two fane base and coming that we are worse or even in the same ball park simply has NO IDEA what the hell they’re talking about, whether that be you, (not saying it is, but if it were ) or whoever they might want to check facts a little better before throwing that out.

    Actually I feel that their fan base has a true fear , paranoia of KU Example ? - -perfect case scenario , when this whole Corona Virus thing came out , and then came the point in time where they canceled . So I thought I would check out other boards and see what they had to say about things being shut down , so went to UK board and opened it up and BAM instead of conversation of the Corona and the effect on the basketball season. Thread is talk about -WELL we only lost like 3 games in all times wins to KU with this, they can’t gain anymore , referring to the Virus being a blessing. - Other of these idiots responding and , and , and they gonna get stripped of wins blah , blah , blah - throwing in all the basic idiot name calling. This is just a very small portion of what they throw out about us on their board daily.

    I really don’t see the Kentucky focus -well not nearly as much anyways as they have on a daily bases , they just seem overwhelmed , entranced by KU - sometimes I have to check and make sure I’m on the right Board - thinking to myself ,I thought I was on the UK board - - this looks like another KU board. - - through my experience it sure seemswith things said on that Board no WAY compares to our boards with them, - just un-deniable aggorance



  • Snob hill, arrogant, wine and cheese crowd, cheaters… we’ve been accused of a lot of things and called worse. - F**k KU chant, GayU, Fly over U etc. KU gets its fair share of hatred my friend. But the arrogance accusations are probably not too far off. It’s not unearned, but definitely unbecoming.



  • @dylans I cannot possibly be arrogant. I was raised better than that.



  • @wissox said in Mourning our loss:

    @BeddieKU23 thanks! A little perspective always helps me through these things.

    It helped 0.1% so thanks. This has hurt more then losses



  • Just looked this up and the differential this year between KU’s shooting % and opponents was on par with our best teams under Bill 08, 10, 11.



  • I’ve actually been largely ok with the way this season ended, minus a few moments of self pity for the guys. Whether we were forced or not, it’s a noble thing to put aside personal aspirations for the greater good and we got to do that. I think it’s a good lesson for everyone and we are better for it.

    Now if we could get the messaging right about social distancing before everyone infects everyone else anyway, and make our sacrifice for naught…

    check they’re board

    So, to be clear, we are all coming together for a common purpose and agreeing to stay apart!

    I don’t mean us. We could never be arrogant that’s below us. I mean the fan base in general has been accused of it. Don’t kill the messenger (you’re not), but that was the reason I was asking who the board of arrogance is. It could apply to many fan bases.

    Any mainstream sports website like Bleacher Report, CBS back in the day and places like that where it’s mostly T-shirt fans of every program that gather and give everyone a bad name. Most people that actually went to those schools are reasonable, level headed fans that are fun to converse with.



  • Daughters wedding looking very iffy since CDC made the gatherings of 50 or less proclamation.



  • Was supposed to fly back to KC next month for a HS reunion. Looks like that’s off too.



  • I made a fucking mistake and went to the Wichita VA a couple weeks ago (I know, real smart) - they come from all over the state - am now sicker than a pig in summer.



  • @Marco oof. Does it seem like CORONA?



  • @BShark I hope not. Went to the hospital today. They game me a shot and some zpac and some other stuff.



  • @BShark self-quarantining though, just to be safe. I was told to stay home, and not go to work - using vacation time. They couldn’t test me.



  • @Marco fever?



  • Respiratory symptoms?



  • Wow, take care Marco.



  • Zpac doesn’t help a virus. Wonder if the shot was a steroid of some kind.



  • @marco We are pulling for you to get better!

    Lack of tests is so frustrating.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 unfortunately, yeah.



  • @bskeet I’ll be okay.



  • Be safe Coach Marco



  • I’m so lucky, DVR’d the KU-Texas Tech game (haven’t watched it yet). Going to watch it tomorrow.



  • @Crimsonorblue22 said in Mourning our loss:

    They might have just been covering the bases to treat possible strep or bacterial pneumonia, either of which are easier to get when you have a viral respiratory disease. I love Zpac! (allergic to penicillin) 🤧



  • @mayjay They gave me that, a shot and some amoxicillin. Strong like bull!



  • 2 antibiotics?





  • The last three time I used a zpack it did nothing and ultimately had to use amoxicillin. I’m glad they didn’t mess around and gave you both @Marco



  • Man, these are strange times… Obviously anyone can be beaten on any given night when it comes to the tournament, but our guys really had a chance. If KU was on its A-game how many teams could have matched up with us?

    if we were on - - not many , as can’t count how many times and have to agree, w ha the best 1-2 combo in Americas. I mean seriously if Doke got position down low - - it was over. who could stop what he brought? - Put those 2 together and then our Ace in the hole of Defensive specialists Marcus - -just hard to beat



  • Self on Scott VanPelt’s podcast. 11/10 worth a listen. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/we-need-more-fruit/id1494246435?i=1000468825593



  • @dylans It’s not arrogance - we just deserve honor because we are Blue Blood ROYALTY.

    Something like that.



  • Man seeing all the memories the last couple of days on social media and having nothing this year sucks
