@Crimsonorblue22 I saw the CBS piece on Amy last evening. It was heartwarming!

@BShark I’m so sorry about your friend. I’ll keep you in my prayers. As @Crimsonorblue22 recommended, try to think about the good times you shared. She is right - that can help and, remember, the bucket kingdom is here for you!

@jayballer67 Thanks for that information. I really appreciate it!

@BeddieKU23 - This reflects the changes to the 2021 game schedule as of 2/9/21

 Date	     Matchup	       Time	            TV

February 11 ISU@ KU 6:00 February 13 KU @ ISU 2:00 February 17 KU @ KSU 7:00 February 20 TTU@ KU 1:00 February 23 KU @ UT 8:00 ESPN2

Do you or anyone reading this have information about which TV channels or ESPN+ will be carrying which games? It really irritates me that the TV information is no longer included in the game schedule on the KU website. I’ll appreciate any help anyone can give me.

@wissox The Wichita Eagle newspaper reported that KU started this season down 16 games to Kentucky but have now narrowed that spread to being down 9. The writer expressed doubt that KU could completely close the gap and take the lead, but I’m routing for it as hard as I know how:)!

@wissox I guess I wasn’t bothered as much by the calls in the second half either after they guys found their answer

@wissox Nothing lame about it. A very well written and enjoyable read as was your really great recap of the Texas Tech game. I thought of you last night as I was watching the game and the many bad calls that you might recap this game much as you did the TT game. I thought the calls were so one-sided in WV’s favor that I was actually shocked the few times we had a call go our way!

HCBS said in his radio interview after the Omaha game that due to Covid testing requirements, there simply wasn’t enough time to get a replacement game scheduled.

@Crimsonorblue22 This is from an email put out by the Wichita Eagle:

Marshall received support from former WSU basketball players since the allegations were made public, but none of those public supporters were with the Shockers during the 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons when the coach allegedly engaged in the physical abuse that triggered the investigation.

Fred VanVleet, Ron Baker and Landry Shamet — three of Marshall’s most famous alums who all reached the NBA — have not publicly weighed in on their view of Marshall in light of the allegations.

The closest any of them have come was when Baker was asked about the topic on the 4 SZNS NBA Podcast released on Nov. 10.

“Think about 14 years ago and think now what Coach Marshall has done there, so (the boosters) coming out and saying they support (Marshall), I totally get it,” Baker said. “But my only defense right now is they weren’t in the gym when those things were happening. So they’ve got to understand where I come from when I walk the fence line. There will definitely be a time where I think I’ll get into more depth.”

It will be interesting if Ron says more publicly for sure.

I join the other posters in being glad that this incredibly scary incident ended well for your wife and am so proud of the QT employee’s quick action to protect her. Prayers for you and your wife recovering quickly from the trauma!

@jayballer67 I’m so very sorry to learn of your wife’s situation. Please keep your Buckets family posted as you learn more. And, please know you and your wife and family will certainly be in my prayers. Try to keep positive thoughts and remain hopeful.

@approxinfinity said in ....and we're back:

You guys are the closest thing I have to anonymous extended family. Happy to do it until we don’t want to do it any more.

I think we all feel the family thing. I hope you don’t loose your “want to” anytime soon!

Yes, @approxinfinity, thanks for all you do to keep this site up and running!

@FarmerJayhawk , how did you find out it had been lost?

@approxinfinity said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@jayhawkblue73 I hope we can continue to live in a world where competence from authority figures is expected.

I wish I could up-vote this a million times!

@Crimsonorblue22 Doc Marshall, as he seems to want to be called, was also taking Hydroxychloroquine and he certainly should have known it wasn’t a preventative/cure but I’m sure his idol Trump was pleased. @approxinfinity “He just can see the world without him in the center of the picture.” What a perfect way to describe Trump!

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NOA response from KU discussion:

They don’t usually make the tourney? What was the coaches name? Forgot

Mike Boynton

@Crimsonorblue22 I’m with you, girl. I’m very concerned that churches are not going to adhere to social distancing. Now that Gov. Kelly has turned over the decision making to the counties, Sedgwick County is going to open up completely. This just in from the Wichita Eagle: “Sedgwick County’s new coronavirus plan: advice but no rules, everything can open The commission decided Wednesday to allow all county businesses to reopen, with no enforceable rules on social distancing or other measure.” I just don’t get why being asked to continue to use caution is considered by some to be an infringement of their rights/freedoms.

@mayjay That’s a cute story. I bet you’re a great dad, step or not. I was raised by a step dad that I adored.

@Crimsonorblue22 Well, I for one totally agree with Crim. When I was little, my parents didn’t tolerate lying and name calling - two trademark habits of his in which he seems to take pride and his supporters relish.

@wissox I join others in this group in being sorry to learn of your setbacks, but also in being very proud to know you’re being so proactive in taking care of your physical health. I hope the job situation has a positive outcome for you!

@RockChalkinTexas So beautiful, just lovely! Thanks for sharing.

@Kcmatt7 Best wishes to you and your bride. As @jayballer73 said, cherish the moment. When the time is right to gather a larger group of family and friends, the two of you could renew your vows so your guests could share in that.

@RockChalkinTexas Great to hear from you. And, you are right - we are blessed to live in places where we’re not living on top of each other. I’m glad you have your girls and lots of fun activities to pass the time. I do a lot of cooking, some baking, but mostly big pots of stuff on the stove top. Can’t wait for all of this to be in the rear view mirror. I miss my friends, but am glad to have this site to keep up with all my buckets friends! I join @Crimsonorblue22 in being glad your health is great.

@wissox It sounds lovely. My best wishes to the bride and groom!

@dylans I will miss you and I hope you change your mind. Please think about it!

@DanR Thanks for posting the link to that article. I agree that it is very enlightening. I’ve long admired Joe Biden and I hate hearing him accused of having dementia or being senile.

@Crimsonorblue22 Thank you so much for sharing this woman’s story. It’s a real eye-opener. I will add her and her family to my prayer list.

@bskeet said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

Some conservatives are not entirely blind. Either that, or they are throwing Trump under the bus as he has done with so many others.

https://thebulwark.com/warnings-ignored-a-timeline-of-trumps-covid-19-response/

The Bulwark is an American conservative news and opinion website founded by conservative commentators Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol. The publisher is Sarah Longwell. While it launched as a news aggregator, it was revamped into a news and opinion site with “the core digital staff of The Weekly Standard.”

@bskeet Thanks for posting about thebulwark.com. I wasn’t familiar with it, but recognize Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol’s names. I not only read the article you linked, but the others shown on the side of it. This seems like a pretty trust-worthy site and it is encouraging to see some well known conservatives presenting facts instead of the kool-aide.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes it is. I hope everyone is taking precautions, but a certain amount of life has to go on. My family is fortunate to have two fridges and a good sized freezer, but you still need stuff from the store like fresh produce, eggs, etc. I saw something about freezing milk, but didn’t read anything but the headline which indicated you could. We bought a few packages of frozen veggies just in case.

@Crimsonorblue22 Noe at the moment (I’m at work!!), but if I decide to, I won’t have to get out of my car to get a supply LOL.

I read that liquor stores are now offering curbside pickup!

@benshawks08 said in NCAA Tournament: Should it happen?:

Heard families will still be allowed in to watch…

@benshawks08 The article said “essential staff and limited family attendance.” I’m guessing that means the players’ Moms and Dads only.

@dylans Cheerleaders SHOULD be!

I can’t believe what you are saying! Really sad!

@Crimsonorblue22 Thank you for posting that link. I had seen it earlier and was going to post it. Great minds . . .

@Crimsonorblue22 I doubt it. The WSU fans inexplicably adore him. And, he’s got a pretty sweet deal where he is. I don’t know what his salary is but I understand Charles Koch kicks in some pretty big bucks, too.

@Crimsonorblue22 That is a cool pic, but I thought players and fans all looked up to Bill!

@Woodrow I don’t trust KSU to have enough metal detectors or an adequate security plan. We all remember when Jamari got mugged and Self got pushed into the scorer’s desk. That happened in a “normal” KU/KSU game. The one Saturday comes after the unfortunate events at their last meeting in AFH.

@Crimsonorblue22 If someone contacted me to let me know I had been awarded the opportunity to attend the KU/KSU game for free and to sit on the KU bench next to Bill Self throughout the game and join in the huddle, you still couldn’t get me there at gun point.

@jayballer73 said in WSU grudge:

@nuleafjhawk said in WSU grudge:

@HawkChamp I guess you didn’t read the part where i already apologized. It was just to emphasize how much i disliked WSU. Didn’t mean anything by it.

ya even though I really liked the City of Wichita for sure doesn’t mean I have a love fest for Marsha and the gang. - - I remember Eddie and the group - However did kind of like the motto " MTXE " - - Mental Toughness Extra Effort. - -Couldn’t stand his son Randy cocky little shit. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I think the MTXE slogan is from the Gene Smithson era. He’s Randy’s dad. We used to run into Gene and his wife occasionally while out to dinner. Gene had horrible table manners! Eddie Fogler was only a WSU for 3 years and when he left, WSU went cheap and promoted an assistant coach, Mike Cohen, who couldn’t pour liquid out of a boot with the instructions on the heal.

@Crimsonorblue22 That used to be true when KU had only 9 losses under Self in 2017 and Baylor’s loss to KU that year put Drew’s number of losses in Allen at 10. So since Baylor lost at Allen in 2018 and 2019, Drew’s number of losses would be 12. Self now has now has 13 I think. But Self’s winning percentage in Allen far exceeds Drew’s!

Thanks. I hadn’t heard that. It surprises me, though, because Trump always says he’s the best at everything.

@Crimsonorblue22 Are you saying that you’ve heard Mayor Pete won’t debate Trump?

@BeddieKU23 said in Texas Christian Horned Frogs - Saturday - 11 am - ESPN2:

@bcjayhawk

The LSU, Hawaii ones are not real. FIU’S, well you just have to Google how bad it is for yourself

@BeddieKU23 I did Google it https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/fl-xpm-2013-04-04-sfl-surfs-up-on-fius-new-basketball-court-20130404-story.html. OMG, they paid $50,000 and this is what they got?

Some interesting information this this article (be sure to read the comments - hilarious):

@wrwlumpy Are those for real??? Lord, how blessed we are to have such a beautiful floor in Allen Fieldhouse.

According to one of my friends, the Wichita Eagle is showing the KU game at 8:00. Go figure - another error in the Eagle!

@dylans That’s a horrible story to hear. I’m glad to know those awful neighbors have moved - I hope it was out of state!

The game will now be on ESPN2 so they can show a retrospective of Kobe’s final game. Can you edit the title, @wrwlumpy ?

@mayjay Thanks for that updated info. In other news, Vegas has KU favored by 7. Jesse Newell is predicting a 71 - 59 KU victory. Jesse was right about Baylor beating us in AFH, so sure hope he’s right about tonight

@mayjay I like it when I can be officialer

@mayjay You beat me to it, but I get credit for using more words!!
