@twhalen pretty sure Jay Wright is on Bill Selfs very short list of coaches he looks at for inspiration.

@Texas-Hawk-10 pretty sure he is. He did refer to having Josh Jackson at the 4 as being a 4 guard lineup, I didn’t ever think he was a SG, really an SF. Maybe that’s a bad example. But yeah, I think all he really cares about here is whether theyre not a traditional Center at the 5, and probably specifically can shoot the 3.

@jayballer67 they can’t prove what the other way? That Trump is corrupt?

There is a mountain of evidence that Trump is corrupt. What does “proving” it mean? Hearing him on tape saying the this disease is deadly at the beginning of the year, but that he doesn’t want to alarm the public by admitting it? Then contradicting scientists every step of the way to bolster that self serving narrative? That’s pretty clearly corrupt.

If you are going to write in, I wish you luck in selecting a qualified, decent person.

@jayballer67 How is Biden corrupt? The worst thing he did imo was coauthor the bipartisan crime bill that passed the Senate 100-0 and resulted in unnecessary mass incarceration, particularly with nonviolent drug offenses, and he’s admitted that was wrong. In terms of illegal stuff, what has he done thats illegal? The Hunter Biden email stuff is unverifiable Ukrainian BS. It’s designed to make you doubt weeks before the election and in fact Giuliani didn’t pursue it before now because he realized it was trash. It had been offered to him by the Ukrainians last year, but he bought it now from the Ukranian as a last ditch Hail Mary. There is no verified substance there. Don’t buy into the hype man. This is the same sort of disruption right before the elections 4 years ago. Exact same stupid tired playbook.

Let’s just put this Clown to pasture and I’d say let’s see how much better we feel 4 years from now, but I really hope I’ll just forget to do so because life will return to some sort or normalcy with a normal decent human being as President.

@jayballer67 just think about this… One guy released his tax returns for the last 22 years. The other promised he would release them 4 years ago and then never did. One guy was investigated and impeached for quid pro quo in Ukraine. The other was investigated and absolved of any wrong doing related to his son in Ukraine. What you are believing if you think these two are equal in character is straight out of Trumps mouth, and the mouths of his enablers.

It’s not political. It’s a logic problem. Which one is the crook?

If one person is honest and the other person isn’t, they’d both be calling each other crooks, so how do you tell which is the crook?

@jayballer67 don’t be fooled. The biggest problem with Joe is he’s old and not a terribly charismatic or dynamic person. Trump is the crook here with the shady dealings. Any comparable shady business on Joe is simply a fabrication. There is no equality here on character. It’s fine to not agree with Joe on policy, but on character, don’t fall for it. Pretty good guy vs shit.

Good old fashioned ass kicking part 2.

My school board just voted to allow some students to return starting Nov 30th (K-5 first). One lady on the board requested that they extend the K-5 out until after holiday season but this was not approved by the board. The plan for Nov 30th was approved. The teachers were given the option of returning to school to teach or quitting. This is going to be bad.

@jayballer67 12.3% positivity is nuts.

Glad we get to battle Rick Barnes. Always a good fight.

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere else. I’m just excited that I liked the tweet with the KUBuckets Twitter account and his mom followed the KUBuckets account.

@mayjay genuine lol

@FarmerJayhawk I thought you said Lawson for a sec.

@BeddieKU23 it does. Though less Herculean than what Devon was asked to do. At least we have a smart and versatile upperclassman at PG. (no knock on Devon. I thought what he did in two years was the greatest work by any true 2 year player under Self)

If Trump wins Florida, which looks to be close rn, QAnon “Biden is a pedo” disinformation splitting the Hispanic vote may play a key role.

If barely taking down a team of 8 McDonald’s All Americans with a 200 level recruit as your assassin senior PG, two highly touted international guys that developed into 4 year talent, a 5 star transfer who fizzled at Miss St and wanted a do-over, an all defensive guy with a funky jumpshot, and a guy who only finished half his high school senior year before getting the call is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.

This game was only second to our championship in 2008. Tell me how we win that game without Silvio? Tell me how much damage was avoided by Grayson Allen’s stupid psycho face not having the satisfaction?

NOT TODAY, Duke! I felt proud for a month after that game. NOT TODAY!

ZZ. That’s an Omega name. I wonder if he hopes to be on the last page of Brittanica some day.

Sometimes these year numbers blow my mind a little bit @jayballer67 . 2024? We are talking about basketball in 2024 and they aren’t playing the sport with jetpacks on yet?

@wissox fair. We can agree to disagree. Your logic makes sense, just different conclusions. As for how much our team can use him I’m assuming he has slipped down the pine.

@BeddieKU23 said in No Silvio:

Wow. Smh.

Has Self ever got less out of a player here while having to deal with the consequences of him going here. I can’t think of one

WORTH.

ROCK CHALK FOREVER SILVIO.

I will never forget.

It’s not a done deal but I think it’s going to happen. Braves piling it on now. 10 batters in the 6th.

Are you talking about Gethro or Marcus @BShark ?

@BeddieKU23 wow man. Is this really happening?

@KirkIsMyHinrich That was great.

@nuleafjhawk Yeah, that was their second choice.

@stoptheflop pretty sure Washington management knows that by calling them the Football Team:

A. They fire up the old schoolers and the Trumpers who want to keep “Redskins” , though their anger isnt directed at WFT.

B. they piss off the fans who dislike the new name but don’t care about keeping “Redskins” , again not directed this anger at WFT

C. everyone will think whatever non offensive thing they choose is awesome after this is over

D. people would have complained at anything not “Redskins” out of the gate

I think they had to go this way.

Who is talking about the effect of technology on humanity? Who is talking about education? The two issues most at the heart of the situation this country finds itself in are going largely ignored right now. We focus on the symptoms. Race relations and bad cops (both addressed by better education and both exacerbated by Russian social media campaigns). People voting for corrupt self serving politicians (education), with no vision toward the future. Families glued to their media all day long (technology). Covid rampant while people don’t wear masks (education).

Brawndo: it’s what plants crave!

I think he’s a 3-4 year guy and hope he is up for that. Seems to me to be similar to Andrew White.

@BShark @jayballer67 money matters at Memphis too.

@Raymond0197182 Kenny Gregory! Wow. I had no idea. High flying Kansas boys.

Welcome to the board!

“A boy named Sue” perbowl Champion

@BShark so if we are identifying ourselves as a defensively elite team, which I can buy ( @Texas-Hawk-10 's point) , my gut reaction about Jalen is that he gives us a “different look” but does not fit the core identity of the team. What we gain in 3 pt shooting we lose in foot speed. My assumptions about him may be outdated.

@Texas-Hawk-10 the biggest question to me is “how good of a 3pt shooting team will we be?” The charity stripe won’t be nearly the adventure it was with Doke on the floor. However, with Marcus on ball, unless he got a lot sharper from 3, the D can sag off and help. Yes, we will be good driving the ball, but good defenses can probably stifle our scoring, and since 3>2, with a bad tourney draw, could still amount to an early exit.

@daswiz you’ve had OAD reboots every year for a decade and have one title in 2012 to show for it. How much of an affinity can you really feel for players you only know for a year?

You’re right about Embiid. As much as he was an enjoyable OAD, we hardly knew him and didnt even get to see him in a NCAA tournament. Do you brag about Enes Kanters pro career too? What a joy he was having him on your practice squad for a year, amirite?

How great was it to have future NBA all Stars John Wall, Eric Bledsoe and Demarcus Cousins on one team (!) lead you to a loss in the Elite 8?

The truth is, neither of our teams have won a title in roughly a decade. But at least we got to enjoy our players and see them grow at Kansas. Sorry you have been deprived of the same opportunity. It’s one of the most enjoyable things about being a fan.

@mayjay he already blamed it on a police officer or army person that Hope Hicks (?) probably allowed to get too close I think.

@FarmerJayhawk I hope you’re right. But I see a guy who has nothing to lose and would try to stay in power, just to see what would happen. I don’t think he gives a rats ass about his legacy, or being beloved. That ship has sailed and he knows it. I’d see him doing any sort of atrocity he could get away with.

@FarmerJayhawk you don’t think Trump would seize power and commit genocide if he could?

It’s playing with fire, trying to be civil with a ruthless self serving barbarian with influence over a large part of the masses. If people had done the right thing and removed him or not supported him in the first place, we wouldn’t be here.

No equivalency.

@FarmerJayhawk Your enemy isnt a despicable despot that forces you to compromise your morals. Lucky you!

@jayballer67 If I were to see this in Judeo-Christian terms, my God would be a vengeful Old Testament God. May Trump be struck down 200 thousand times over. May the wheel of reincarnation return him to dust and let him try again in his next life as a humble mosquito, that he might absolve some negative karma. May the yang catch up with his life of yin and grant him a release from this life in balance.

But religion aside, in more practical terms, I just want him to go away and not have any more influence by the least destructive means necessary.

@BShark Wow.

You know, I enjoyed watching the depths of soullessness explored by the actors on Its Always Sunny In Philadelphia. Is that how you sympathize with this guy? Imagine, as does he, that he’s still an actor and there are no real consequences to his actions?

Split thread from other thread, which was more about the facts about COVID and less about Trump.

@FarmerJayhawk I can’t tell your sarcasm level here, but I consider him a threat to humanity, and his handling of Covid a crime against humanity.

You may oppose the death penalty for murderers, but can you understand why those that favor capital punishment do so?

As far as not being any better, please excuse me here, but I think that logic is bunk.

Sic semper tyrannis!

@jayballer67 Your daughter is completely different than Donald Trump, and I hope she’s doing ok.

He deserves nothing. But those are my atheist sensibilities. Having sympathy for him is like being sympathetic towards a disease. The extent of my sympathy is not wishing him dead, and that is, to your point, mostly a formality to maintain a sense of decency.

I want that a-hole to lose fair and square and fade away. I don’t have any sympathy for him, I don’t want others to have any sympathy for him, and I don’t want him to die a martyr either.

@BeddieKU23 poker face.

I don’t understand how to read this graph. Who decides what 0 is?

@Kcmatt7 exactly. Trump was who everyone knew he was. Biden was what his supporters knew he was.
