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.

While in the years past this would be a perfect trap game, with Reid and Mahomes I do not see the team looking ahead.

My concern is with injuries on the D side, Chargers will try to slow down the game, lot of runs, to minimize # of possessions.

Even 2 wins seems to be a stretch at this point. Lets see how the coaches and players respond.

I think 2 wins are more realistic. I am hoping for improved performance in the field and fight till the end attitude.

I am thinking about 2-3 wins this year. If we can get more than 3 wins it will be a huge success.

This is a great story, wish him well.

They have been working on it for a few years. Royals future is looking better. A lot of young pitching prospects. If developed properly Royals can contend in couple of years.

I have been impressed by the new Royals manager, while it is early, seems to be an upgrade over Ned.

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.
