but it's watching guys like Council that make it easy for me to be a Jayhawk fan.

Nice!

I Will probably be out of pocket for most or all of this one due to kid sporting conflicts. Such is life! I would have it no other way. But you’ll receive my feedback on tape delay!

An analogue we stumbled into was going to the local science museum and a high school “battlebots” competition was going on. Setting aside the thought that this was the indoctrination of nerds into the military industrial complex, it was super fun watching the subtle design differences of the kids robots succeed or fail in unexpected ways. We ended up going to another one of these competitions at the airport.

@rockchalkjayhawk sorry man, my head has been at max churn with other stuff and I havent engaged with the WC draw, or even fully engaged in the last window.

Looking forward to it though.

These expansions have been duplicitous. CFB gets watered down in a money grab but yet my JMU Dukes get in. WC gets watered down, but hey USMNT gets a sweet draw. I’m not complaining. There are more important hills to die on.

I see Balogun and Pulisic are killing it in international play. Feels like we are in good form and Poch can make a splash. I am a little concerned our CBs will get exposed by good teams but nothing new there. Will we possibly get pantsed again like against Netherlands and Wales in last WC? We havent seen another serviceable CB besides Ream, Zimmerman and Richards have we?

You’ve probably followed things closer than I have. What are you seeing from our guys? Who is in top form? Who is looking bad? What do you think the roster will be?

@bskeet yep we do.

@mayjay ha well i was curious about this too. It looks like there is a separate notifications category you can go to and still mark all as read here https://kubuckets.com/notifications though im not sure the best path to it. I found it at the bottom of the right gutter bell tab list.

Also the board now has the concept of forgetting unreads. I dont know if i like that or not and may turn it off. Right now its set to forget unreads after 2 days.

@JoJoAndMe Oh man! I hope it went well and you guys are doing ok. Look forward to more stories!

@drgnslayr Fran is usually a year behind reality.

Flory for me, then Tre.

@bskeet nice, thanks. favicon has been flaky for me, my chrome still shows the wrong one, but I tried to set it.

@wissox83 btw i created an nc st thread

@BShark yeah. its hard to say never, given how much we force Rylan minutes last year. We'll see.

lol @crimsonblu22 .. got his wish. 🪦

Darryn... highest PPG, steals per game, 6th highest MPG, highest 3p%, second highest fg%, second highest ft%.

It doesn't matter if its a limited data set, imo. Those numbers speak.

The percentages are important, but the 1.7 steals per game is the interesting one to me. How much better is our perimeter defense (and also transition offense?) with Darryn on the court?

Thoughts? Hopes? Fears?

between Mari, Tiller and maybe Dawson if he figures it out, it seems like 35-37% could happen.

@stoptheflop if you have any recommended authors would be happy to have a discussion about that.

At this point, the most important thing about this team's ability to reach its ceiling is that they like each other, including Darryn. FOE.

@wissox83 yeah Fran is still the barely masked hero of the universe, pint size edition. it comes out when he gets excited. he gets confused about the difference between Bill Self and himself.
