Can we kick kstate out and add 3?

I think Johnny comes alive tonight and puts it together. The crowd is going to will him into a great performance. I think by the 6th inning when he does his little shoulder shake we will all just be able to sit back and enjoy “Johnny being Johnny”

hahaha, maybe

I just found out I am moving to Dallas and was hoping anyone could give me some suggestions on where to live.

I will be working downtown, looking for a house around 175-225k, would like to keep commute under 45mins each way. Have been looking at Mesquite, Garland, Desoto, Grand Prairie online. Thanks

How much money do fans need to raise in order to end the Jayhawk network?

Will Tyler Self be red shirted?

Thoughts on new apartments.

Thank you! Always enjoy your insight.

@HighEliteMajor I always felt people ignored fatigued when arguing for more mins for Cliff. I think you hit the nail on the head about Self molding him with his “dog house” routine, but I also feel that Cliff wasnt in condition to go more than 20 mins a game, he always seemed to start hot then cool down after 3-5 mins, and was noticably less exsplosive at the rim or on defense.

I also check Fancaster often, but this site is always my first go to for information

@Crimsonorblue22 Greatest baseball player ever

@jaybate-1.0 He could be listed at 5’10…he plays like a footer. Im replaying the all star games in my head, he was everywhere those nights.

@nuleafjhawk They need the AK because of all the individuals that shouldnt have a gun but do, as Jayhawk Fan mentioned.

Its the non law abiding ones that scare me.

This could be a great Monday!

@Statmachine worthy of a press conference?

This is one of the best threads ever

Collin Firth as Coach Self!

What are these called? trying to find them online

@drgnslayr I was under the understanding that the football team actually made money. Around 14 mil a year?

If, big if, we can turn the ship and just get a couple wins this year or next year and compete in 60% of the games come year three, the stands will fill up slightly. We go bowling, the stands will hit that 40k-45k number.

I really hope you are all joking about cutting a program. I know its in the basement, well, burried benath where a basement should be, but…I think we are going to get out of this hole. This is the move for a head coach we should have made in 09, now the rebuild is tougher and will take longer (Charlie/Gill).

I guess I also dont see how the basketball team is so negativly hurt? new dorms, highest travel budget for recurits in the nation, new rules building, etc

I always thought this was our best shot at a title about 3 years ago. Whats odd is half the team I expected leading us is no longer here.

Figured Connor F would be a scoring PG, Andrew White would be a major factor and Embiid would finally put it together in year 3 (going from a “project” to a dominating force). And Wayne would be in the NBA.

Funny how things can change so fast.

@drgnslayr We have to be paitent, even though we have the last 7 years. This mess will take 3-4 years to get out of, there is no quick fix and we play in a tough conference. Please dont talk about getting rid of the football team, even in jest it hurts to read. We will get better, hopefully we can pull off an upset or two this year, but really we are in rebuilding mode. We probably should have won week one, but the team is about what it should be with all the players we lost, lost off a 3-9 team.

This mess is the result of the previous coaches/current AD. I believe in Beaty, it may be 3-4 years for the wins to follow, but the on feild product is actually better than in years past.

If we could have this years’s offense with last years defense we might be bowling (really makes you miss Ben flying around and a secondary that was above average)

Was hoping the football team winning the first couple of games or the Royals clinching the division would distract me from this, but its been on my mind.

Shouldnt a guy that can speak 4-5 languages just get an exemption? por que NCAA, por que?

I feel like our whole season depends on this ruling, I know it doesn’t but if feels like the difference between a sweet 16 ceiling and no ceiling for our season…

@HighEliteMajor I am offended, who uses the 1920’s version of the Jayhawk anyways? That was unbelievable!

And if the situation were reversed it would be the end of the world for little brother out west…that’s just it, no one from KU hates k-state, they are like a little sister, we hate those to the east, we don’t like kentucky, etc…But they hate us, they have to do stuff like this to try and make a rival. I think that’s why you can write this off, because ksu is our little sister, we let it go.

What would your stance be if missery had done this? I think a majority (myself included) would go from a “that’s just hicks being dumb” to “I’m irate!”

@Texas-Hawk-10 I think Self could arguablly this year do a “platoon system” and make it work. We will def have the depth, but i think if it were tweaked a little more with maybe 2 subs at a time at given intervals or something, we could play up tempo and keep fresh legs. I really feel that when we shorten the rotation players get tired, tired players (even the most trusted ones) are more likely to miss shots/turn the ball over.

I kind of think the platoon system could work, I just dont think the last guy that tried it was the kind of forward thinker to revoultionize the game. They did almost run the table too (as much as I dont like to admit that). Guess my stance is Self could really open it up to more running this year- my hopes is with Diallo, the success of the WUG and playing up tempo and the 30 sec clock; maybe, just maybe Self changes his style a little this year (more players rotating while playing faster).

@BeddieKU23 Every hour or so I come to this website hoping to see a new topic of “Diallo cleared to play” yet nothing so far…A title this year would erase all the bad memories as you said. This is year 8 since that title team (feels like yesterday to me).

I dont mind us being a one seed at the end of the year, but I kind of hope there is an undefeated team out there in March that everyone else is talking about. I dont really like being the favorite in college basketball, I like to be the realative underdog (4-8 overall)

Tweets to Fancaster yesterday afternoon.

“How accurate is this source of yours?”

“Accurate. Took many of the same courses as former teammate #DavonDillard who is already cleared”

Bill Self has asked his team to sign a sportsmanship pledge prior to the start of the season; it states that all road games that should be won easily will, thus preventing court storming and other non-sense, when we beat Kentucky we will act like its no big deal and that we will state we weren’t running up the score when asked by the media, the game at k-state we will try to win by only 5 points so Weber can keep his job (same at Baylor) but if its too obivious we will win by 50 deal with the fallout.

All members must sign this pledge prior to the start of the season.

@drgnslayr I thought you meant a 14 year old Cadillac, that would be an upgrade from what I currently drive.

Was it Bolden that is making a visit without any other recruits?

Either Im going to become a huge Fancaster fan or will somehow work them into the punchline of future jokes, depending on the outcome of this tweet.

Did like that they were ahead of others on the Royals getting Johnny Gomes.

“’bate 1.o opts for celibacy” haaaaaaaaaaaaaa

We prob wont have to worry too much about the shot clock if he is on the court!

With all of our weapons and depth we could really run teams out of the building, they may counter with zone, but we could counter with 3 ball and Perry form the short corner

CD is the only thing missing so far, but its a long season till March

KC Star just put out an article…Self is “Confident” CD will play this year.

www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article32932146.html

I want the twins to lose so we clinch the central sooner (ready for the magic number to hit 0!) but I think they are the team I would be most okay with playing if they could win the wild card. NY/Tor, Tex and Angles could be dangerous

@brooksmd If i was a power hitter Id want to go to Boston…man I could hit a pitching wedge out of the ball park.

Thought it bounced off the back of the wall…looks like he hammered it, prob a 425+ bomb

3-1 good guys

Morales!!!

crap

You are not alone! Go Royals

I use to watch the 08 DVD after every tourney loss, but after doing that ithas now turned into a bad thing to watch it.

Great moment, but I should use it to start a season off instead of a crutch to get me over depressing times…maybe just more wiskey for those early March exits.

lot of pitches early by YV

I like lowered expectations, I like to hear we have no chance, I like to hear we will end up 5th in the Big 12 and that winning the conference isnt a birth right…

There is a lot of season before March and we or any team is one injury away from going down the drain. I love our team (established guys back, not all newbies) and what happen in Korea gives me more hope, but I would say we are about a 7-15 ranking overall and I think that OU and ISU will really push us for the BigXII.

Until we reach the Final Four I will look at our team’s flaws and say no they cant, I do this because I think that is what this team needs. I think Wayne and Frank our going use it as fuel!

My sacrafice is watching the mentioned games on my 18" computer screen with comercials instead of being able to watch them on my 60" man cave tv…what really makes me mad is the whole 5 year deal was only like 5-6 million I think. Seems like someone could have started a kickstart or whatever they are called and raised that much, using the right to watch KU games (9 + 1 football) as the hostage.

That deal really makes me mad when I think about it. At least I have a place to come and complain about it or listen to others moan, I know im not alone!

As brutal as it is for us, other teams have to add us on their schedule twice!

Free Chieck!

With Cueto and Zobrist set to join the team, who do they send down? Which starting pitcher? Or does Guthrie become a long reliver? Cutberth to go back down for Zobrist? or would someone like a Paulo Orlando go?

Anyone know more about Cheick being eligible? When do classes start for the fall?

@jaybate-1.0 Love the movie “The Pistol”, well did as I was younger, bought it on Amazon and re-watched it and it was more Disney than I remembered, but growning up was my all time favorite.

@Crimsonorblue22 I take it as Selden was in on it, since he gets out of there without really looking. The stunt would have been funnier if it was Tyler dunking on him also…but maybe I need to let these kids have fun and not think of what could have been. I guess I still think of R Stewart at the final four in 08.

the whole outlook of our season could have shifted if that kid jumped or turned and Devonte landed wrong…its a funny video but I had to watch it almost holding my breathe.

@JayHawkFanToo Wilt- They had to chagne the rules because of him…goaltending, 3 sec lane, etc. Russel had how many hall of famers on his teams?

Lebron is good, but not anywhere near top 5, in my opinon. Thats all this is, opinions.

I respectfully disagree with you, Wilt is the greatest basketball player of all time. Maybe not the best winner, but he made them change the rules of basketball.
