It sure looked like Landen baited Livingston in last nights game. I think I’ve seen Landen get under the skin of opposing bigs this year and last year which is hilarious. We’re so fortunate to have such a savvy fifth year senior we can count on.

@HawksWin Always been a big Scott Pollard fan and heck yeah I’d love to see us have another KU guy come back to help the program they fell in love with. Kinda think he’d be a good recruiter too with that personality and he’s got some credibility when it comes to talking about his experience in the league. I’m all in.

@nuleafjhawk OH YEAH! To further demonstrate how little Wichita State means to me - I almost forget about their loss yesterday. What happened to the 35-0 days?

And people wonder why we don’t schedule these clowns every year…

You think you’re old? I had kids and a mortgage when that movie came out!

The negativity is killing me.

For me, I used to focus too much on the poor/boneheaded plays of our team and not fully appreciate the beauty of how these same players would spool off a 17-2 blitz that destroys the other team. And I tended to only “see” other teams runs in games. Anytime a team goes on a mini-run, they look pretty good for that stretch. I gotta admit, I’m digging on this years squad for the runs they put together. I see a lot of Bill’s 2012 team in this team and because of that I can’t help but feel good going into the tourney.

So much for the KC Star getting into our teams head throughout the season. They can suck it.

At half time, Fred convinced his guys they were playing the Jayhawks.

@Eric-san Wow! Didn’t expect that…

They were trying to strip the ball more than tackle him. Hell of a run!

@drgnslayr This is starting to look like the formation of two super conferences and the rest being minor players unable to attract enough eyeballs. I don’t like it but there’s a real chance that KU ends up being one of those minor players. It would seem that the best case scenario for KU long term would be to get picked up by one of those super conferences, preferably the B1G. UCLA and USC going to the B1G is not simply a shot across the bow, but more like general war with the B1G and the SEC brushing aside the collateral damage they’re responsible for. And if things keep going in the direction they seem to be going, being an independent isn’t that crazy of an idea.

I too chose not to watch the second half, because I really hate to see them lose. Instead I decided to wait for the fireworks in town. My birthday is on July 4th and I’ve always liked celebrating Independence Day and it was so sweet hearing the first boom off in the distance. I thought, you gotta be kidding me. And the flood of fireworks just kept coming. I immediately started watching the second half and zipping through the commercials. I know this is weird but it’s good for my blood pressure

@KirkIsMyHinrich Adding KU and Notre Dame would be pretty much a home run for the B1G. Without adding someone like Notre Dame, the B1G can sit back and wait it out. I did see where someone mentioned a KU/MU package to the B1G, and at first I thought it kinda ridiculous, but honestly it’s not that crazy. Both AAU and geographically it makes sense. It would open up another spot in the SEC for OSU or whoever fits best for them. Personally, MU can suck it, but anything facilitates our move to the B1G, I’m down.

@BShark Exactly. I suppose that if someone wants to drive without wearing their seatbelt that’s on them. They generally will only put their own lives in danger. However, a drunk driver (the unvaccinated) is a danger to themselves and others.

There’s video of Doke working out and he was pretty fit looking. I think he’ll be able to play more minutes at a speed we’ve never seen from him. No more baby fat!

Wow!

Marcus. I’m good with that.

I think I want the Hawks to play Auburn… dang!
