number one in the big 12

Still watching… could be worse, but jeez the offense

good d series by #3 boroughs. Two big plays

has either team thrown anything beyond 15 yards?

suction cup hickeys on Bean’s shoulders. OK. Thought that fad was past

four KU punts in the first quarter…

Let’s go

We are gaining a lot of yards horizontally

Hate to pick nits, but three yards in each of three plays is not a first down, man

dumb dumb dumb

gonna be the same three commercials over and over again isn’t it

Welp. Settle down, guys.

@justanotherfan To add to the Big Dave factor. We know Big Dave works hard and is is going to be better, more comfortable, and a more efficient (if not a spectacular physical) presence than last year. I think a big part of Self’s offense will be with a big smart Dave and a totally unleashed Ochai… if those two can figure out how to work together, we’re good. Really good.

watched the JMU game last night in a Lawrence sports bar for a while. It was more interesting than the Royals-Twins game. Went to a bunch of college softball games at Tennessee when we lived in Knoxville (Monica Abbott era). FUN FUN FUN to watch, and I doubt I could hit 77 mph rising fastball. Reflexes know no gender boundaries.

Just watched some highlights of Remy. His jump shot makes Garrett’s look smooth.

What’s that saying? I don’t get nervous until the last two innings.

It’s not over till it’s over

@justanotherfan said in IARP update:

12 more months to wrap up an investigation into things that happened going on four years ago now? At this point, even if they do find wrongdoing, what are the appropriate penalties?

Preston is gone from KU. The coach that primarily recruited him is also gone.

NCAA is going to send someone to Lawrence real soon to measure those skid marks from when Preston crashed his car in 2017

I’m happy with the choice. I always wonder why a decent coach would take the KU job, but then I remember that they’ll get paid millions even if they don’t win a game.

My forehead temperature was 94.6 when I checked in at CVS. The volunteer gal giggled and said, “if that’s your liver temp, you’ve been dead for about 6 hours.”

And we all had a good hard laugh while I checked for my pulse.

Got my second Pfizer shot last Thursday morning at CVS. No side effects at all. Now this pollen on the other hand…

Game ball should go to vital

Signing off. Just Really can’t root for either team. Hope it’s an interesting finish.

Clueless drew

Not a good sign that Baylor can’t close out the half

Amazing how many layups and dunks the zags get

@jayballer67 that’s a given but officiating has actually been pretty good so far

Good adjustment on D by Few. If Baylor cools off from three they should be able to chip away enough for the bears to implode

Zone will require unselfishness by the bears. Uh oh

Vital is probably the best passer on the bears team. Best flopper too

Cue up the ticky tack fouls on baylor

Put vital on Suggs

Tchuaeaue I meant

Thamba is useless on offense

Guess Gonzaga hasn’t played two hard games in a row all year

@jayballer67 I’m rooting for the bears, but I’ve seen their coach

Expect Baylor will get too cocky with the guards dribbling around and they’ll start chucking stupid shots

Started too many games like the zags but they’ll recover

We stink

Had a funny discussion with my 76 year old mother about Bill’s lifetime contract.

She asked, “Why in the world would he commit to a job for the rest of his life?”

Refs for the victory

I wouldn’t have any one and done guys on my list…

3 bigs: Withey, TRob, Doke

3 guards: Frank, Devonte, (Senior)Tyshawn

3 other guys: Ellis, Svi and Garrett

3 other other guys: BMac, Traylor and Teahan (either one)

Zags getting the duke treatment. Turned it off after that BS flagrant and 1.

Never thought I’d root for Baylor, but I will.

I sometimes carry a bag of dog poop around in my sweatshirt pocket for a couple miles on a morning walk with my dog, so I’m not sure if I will be the right person to report side effects from anything

Is spelling a side effect? I need to know before I go out in pubic.

Passing and passing by USC didn’t cut it. I thought Baylor looked like “bad ball Bill Self” on steroids last night in the second half. Guards never passed the ball to a big, ever, just drove to the basket for the last 15 minutes for layups or fouls. That might actually be the ticket to beating Gonzaga, plus playing tight perimeter D with Thamba in the middle to mess stuff up and Vital to hack at random. Hate to put any hope on a Scott Drew coached team though, so we’ll see.

@FarmerJayhawk We’ll put you down as “anti-vacation” then.

@wissox Well, vaccinations do take the “cin” out of vacations! If that’s a good thing.

@Crimsonorblue22 One of several new places we’re going to try! Didn’t want my first impression of the new restaurants to be from take-out. (We’ve done quite a bit of takeout) I’m just so tired of my own food… and dishes.

Hate to see guys leave, but I’m not sure if I remember a player leaving and think KU or the player would have been better off with him still here. AWIII and Grimes… are those the two most successful? Frankamp? Milton Doyle? Find the right fit. Bitter guys poison the entire locker room.

Tristan just seemed to be putting in the time to ultimately play back in Europe, which is fine, but I never saw any passion for the US college game.

Patiently (sort of) waited for my turn. Kansas opened up for anyone over 16 (woo-hoo, that’s me), and I got online early in the morning and nabbed a spot for my first jab of the vaccine I can’t spell that starts with some combination of PFHZR on April 1 at a CVS four blocks from my house, no joke.

All I’m saying is, there are a couple brew pubs and one particular Mexican restaurant in Lawrence that are going to get their sugar daddy back pretty soon.

As much as the Laetner shot gotten hyped and replayed, I guess I’ve actually started to think it was the championship game.

Then there’s the best Duke miss in tournament history:

Anyway, nothing will ever beat NCState’s win over Phi Slamma Jamma
