@wissox said in Today, I Hate Football:
This will cheer you up. In the last two seasons, the Jayhawks have led in the 4th quarter of 19 of those 24 games.
Oh and the Bears are 9-3! Some of us are happy!
Great win vs the Eagles. I was happy to see it. Very much do not like the Eagles coach.
@Crimsonorblue22 @approxinfinity Yes, feel blessed to spend the time we have left when I can. Do everything I can to make sure we at least talk every day.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Kansas vs Tennessee game thread:
@Jhawk69 he rebounds like jwill too
Didn’t rebound to start the year. Guessing Bill called him SAAWWWWWFT after the UNC game.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Thanksgiving:
@BShark thinking of you!
Thank you. I had a good day yesterday. Obviously difficult given what happened this year. Spent it back with my mom and my now one brother so just the three of us for this now. There is a lot more family in Michigan but with my mom turning 70 this year that travel is rather unappealing.
@approxinfinity I wonder how I missed these posts initially. Yikes.
@approxinfinity said in Some Buckets gold:
yeah. well, I mean I coudl keep the old board up with a link to the new one @BShark, and lock writing new posts on the old board.
People’s rep and avatars woudl be lost too, but I think that part is fine?
Ah ok. We’d potentially lose some people over needing to register again but hopefully not too many.
@approxinfinity said in Some Buckets gold:
So I will bring up again what i brought up in a thread yesterday where I asked whether people are ok with restarting the board with latest and greatest everything. This will improve our search rankings and fix image uploading. We would lose our data but i could leave the old board up but maybe lock all threads
So all old posts would be lost?

Here I quoted a tweet that said
Lead guards against Kansas this week:
I am going to call this the Melvin Council effect
Hope everyone is having a good one. It can be a tough time of year for some so definitely reach out to people you care about. 
@FarmerJayhawk said in Kansas vs Tennessee game thread:
This group is tougher than some of the turkeys you all will have to endure tomorrow. Love it.
Cooking bag is critical
Bill just called them tough. Watch out everyone.
@drgnslayr McCullar and then JWill before that.
Fans of other teams and journalists getting mad when everyone knew the rules beforehand is very stupid. Teams were leaving in their starters late BECAUSE margin mattered…
@approxinfinity said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
@Texas-Hawk-10 two really great gets, good chemistry + talent guys
The portal has been a positive this time I’d say. Two very good players and there is still a chance with JD. His wrist/hand injury was really unfortunate as I felt he was coming along a bit.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
@approxinfinity Tre White was someone KU recruited out of high school and I believe committed to KU at one point before going his odyssey. With Council, KU was initially looking at a different player at St. Bonnie’s, but ended up loving Council more.
Correct he committed to KU very early on in high school and it didn’t stick.
The staff received a recommendation on Lajae Jones (ended up at FSU, KU passed) and Council really stood out when they watched. I do actually know the guy that passed along with Lajae rec, not sure if I’d say friend but we are cordial with each other.
Where I’m at at this point in the season assuming we can get everyone healthy…
Starters: DP/Mel/Tre/Tiller/Flo
Rotation: JD/Kohl/Jamari
Everyone else is emergency only.
@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Jamari>Elmarko by a wide margin at this point.
Yep, not close. Would much rather see Jamari out there. Once Darryn and JD are healthy we could ideally see Elmarko not play…
@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
When do we find out when next game is?
Going to be a later one

“Final is 9:30 ET, third place game is 7 ET. Think Kansas is guaranteed in one of those”
Tre White 8.4 rebounds a game after the UNC game. #noticing
My apologies to Jamari he was fine today
@kjayhawks said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Ridiculous this is even a game, piss poor officiating. They just throwing up crap from distance but yet have way more freethrows than us going to the rim and they’re fouling on purpose the last 3 trips.
They missed a couple earlier that were just insane. One where Tiller got hammered and another where Jamari was discarded to the ground.
@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Wow that’s an ugly FT
Kyle kid might have the worst ft shot I have ever seen

@BShark said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Brutal loss, disgusting
Who? Us? I remember you typing that in early April 2022!!
Doing my usual jinxing XD
@BShark said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Very bad line-up in right now
Got off of it VERY quickly. Thanks Bill.
I’ve seen enough Elmarko for a lifetime
@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
@stoptheflop We’re not trying to get it inside to him.
For some reason the team seems to get bored with that
Two 0 second on the shot clock threes is so funny
Not sure about that travel tbh
Our defense against guard oriented teams has been very good.
@BeddieKU23 I think Houston might just not be all that great from what I’ve seen of them a few times already this year…
@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:
Bruh nobody talk like that fr. Bruh tryna talk like humin amirite? U talk funy u AI? Fr bruh.
Every other word out of the mouth of my friend’s son is “bet”.
@wissox said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Players who showed out today: Flory (duh), Tiller, except he needs to stop shooting 3’s even if the announcers try telling us he’s good at shooting it from out there. Tre White is surprising me with his toughness. Council has some surprising athleticism. Even the underachieving 11 and 13 guys played decently I thought and made a 3 a piece and played some nice defense at times.
ND should have stopped shooting 3’s. They weren’t even close on most of those. They weren’t a very good looking team to be honest, but it’s always good to beat Notre Dame in any sport.
Bill Self toughening box! Tre has been something else since the UNC game where he played pretty soft.
I hear you on Notre Dame. I can’t stand them.
@BeddieKU23 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Good enough to win today at least. Heavy minutes from the starters is the only concern for tomm
Yeah I complain about Jamari and Elmarko but they have to play in these games. Bench gave us next to nothing. Didn’t help that Dawson got hurt. Syracuse without their best player is a must win.
@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
I turned 70 last week. I hope we score at least that many and more today
My mom turns 70 next month. I am taking her out for a nice dinner to her favorite restaurant.
As long as DP comes back healthy we may look back at this stretch as critical. Tre and Tiller have really come along and Melvin had to learn and grow being the primary handler.
@BeddieKU23 said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Bidunga staying out of foul trouble helps
Yeah our best player when Darryn is out
Yeah Tiller has been a wonderful surprise
@RockChalkinTexas said in Players Era Bologna Tourney:
Every time Flory comes out we suck
Jamari and Elmarko combo into the game at the same time as well. Immediately give up a run to ND.
Two man game between Tiller and Flory has been #fun Vintage Bill
Council may never make a three
