The fountain is being rebuilt from the ground up over the winter. It needed a total recast of the base and replacement of the plumbing system. It is set to be ready for graduation 2025.

Just realized that watching the stadium construction cameras at night are entertaining! Aliens in the sky? Check out Camera 3. https://kugatewaydistrict.com/live-cameras/?ref=r1s1sports.com

@bskeet that is so awesome. Congrats

Dodged the dead weight of adding a basketball only school (like KU!) to the Big12. Is the new Pac12 even a step up? https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/41550151/gonzaga-join-pac-12-basketball-school-sources-say

@wissox I maybe full of shit it may have been 2 years ago when he was in the portal. Either way I wanted him and it’s coulda woulda shoulda

I watched it!

What a great story! Definitely an answer to the proverbial “wonder what ever happened to him.”

KU beat OU which beat Texas which beat Bama so…….(ignore the fact that we lost to Texas)

Awesome!

@approxinfinity said in .... And in Bucketeer News (that is, news about bucketeers): Wow man! Are these games televised? I don’t think the game this Friday will be televised, but that could change. If it is, it probably will be regional. The playoff games have been streaming on NFHS network. The California State Championship will almost certainly be televised out here but not sure about nationally (ESPN+??) There are absolute studs on some of these teams. I’m frankly amazed that my son is holding his own on the field with some of these 300 pounders. (To be fair, he struggled against Serra in the first meeting, but we’ve talked about how rare it is to get another crack at a team. He’ll have a chance to improve on Friday night.)

Just another coincidence, I’m sure. Just a pattern of coincidences.

I will always wonder if Self sort of lucked out by the fact that Roy never won a championship. Since Roy didn’t win it all our fan base was open for change away from an “all offense” approach to basketball. Bill took us to a place where we stopped the run and gun… less overall excitement… and made us think about winning with low scores and defense. I still don’t understand how our attention is on defense without us having full court pressure. Totally goes against my understanding of the game. I think Bill realizes we don’t do well enough in our M2M defense to extend further on the court. So he limits us in an attempt to be better at half court defense. At this point, I just buy in because his record speaks for itself, and I’m not talking about winning two NCs… I’m talking about his winning % and ownership of the B12. The guy just flat out wins!

I like the line about “the Jayhawks and their tortured fans.” Amen brother !

That is hilarious!

My brother got an MIP a week before his 21st birthday. When asked by the judge if he learned anything he said, “I’ll never do that again” (he was 21 by the court date). This feels similar.

For comparison:

@Marco I think Dajuan is prime this year to make a huge leap if Self gives him a real boost of time and starting spot to begin the year. Leave it to Dajuan then to keep that spot over a quickly improving Remy or others.

I only remember the jazz band playing “in the Mood” and other aged ditties, but that was the '70s…

Lunardi’s final bracket was similar, but not the same: http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology He had 6 Big 12 teams in the dance.
