I’d like to take the opportunity and wish all members of this board a very happy and prosperous new year. I hope that this coming year and beyond bring prosperity in our lives and peace in our minds. At the same time I hope that this year is a special one for our basketball team.
If I have offended anyone with my past posts and comments I ask for your forgiveness.
Happy New Year.
I feel blessed to be able to watch this game in person. I was extremely disappointed by Grimes. He seemed to be lost from get go and was making bad plays, he was completely out of it. While Marcus was not scoring points, he was still playing with great hustle and energy even in the first half. His D was much better than Grimes.
Self mentioned it in the post game that he decided to start Marcus so he can get players who were playing best, and I agree with him there that overall Marcus was playing much better than Q.
Overall I was really impressed by Dotson. Its hard to tell on TV but watching in real time action the kid is super fast and plays with great intensity the whole time. He is going to be a star.
Sources are reporting that Royals have signed Gordon to a 4 year $72M deal.
This is a great news.
So I was watching the game with my 14 yr. old son and if I remember correctly, with about 48 seconds left and UK down by 8 points, one could see UK fans leaving the arena. You could see rows after rows of folks leaving.
I mean their Star Big was on the line for two FTs to make it a two possession game but many UK fans did not care. I bet one will never see such reaction by KU fans.
My son was shocked and made a comment that it is embarrassing for fans of a program with most wins to leave on an ESPN Game Day event with so much time left in the game. I mean UK players were playing hard and it was still a close game. Any thoughts?
@KUSTEVE I hope you and all folks in the area remain safe
Trae is a special player, I will get heat on saying it here, he is the most talented guard in Big 12.
@JayHawkFanToo That’s correct, partly because many TN and Louisville fans had left after their game. On a separate note they played the new intro video which gave me goose bumps. KU was the only team that brought cheerleaders and mascot.
I am a big Alex Smith fan and was hoping to see him back in KC but considering his age and contract value this move by Chiefs was a no brainer, it had to be made.
After 1-5 start I thought that Andy Reid has lost control of this team and I was hoping that we could get to see what we have in Murray. But surely he has turned it around. He kept talking about getting ready for the next game by preparing for fundamentals & technique. Surely, Chiefs not only saved their season they are looking good for a spot in the playoffs.
I am impressed by change in the Chiefs culture. Unlike teams of past years this team did not give up and kept battling when faced with adversity. They kept battling, kept fighting. There were games which past teams would have never won but somehow this group of guys kept winning.
For this tremendous turnaround I salute Andy Reid.
The Kansas brand helped us tremendously.” Miles said Wednesday. “It stands for academics. It stands for great athletics. It’s just tremendous for us. … It’s a place with a lot to offer and I think we sold that great.”
Love the quote.
China and Italy are two separate models from which we can draw some conclusions.
China contained the virus and thus lower mortality rate due to very strict quarantine.
Italy on the other hand did not enforce strict quarantine thus the significant wider spread and higher mortality rate.
This picture is disgusting. I think that Silvio is done.
I believe that Silvio is done. He will be dismissed from the team. The picture of him ready to slam with the chair in his hands is disgusting.
This is a solid Baylor team, very tough and disciplined. They can win it all.
What is the status of the 4 Star LB, will he sign or flip.
Dotson needs to step up, he choked big time on this one.
I would not fire Self, however, if he leaves, I’d go after Jay Wright with full force to become our next HC.
I am grateful to get an opportunity to be at the game but it was quite sickening to see the meltdown in the last 70 seconds.
If it was me I would not replace any coach during the season to avoid discontinuity but bring him back in some capacity.
