I wasn’t expecting to well up in tears for someone I hadn’t personally met, but I did. I’ve been to four funerals of friends and family this year and was able to stay composed, but this hit me harder than expected. @RockChalkinTexas apparently holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy my bucketteers; don’t any of you dare leave!

Everyone stay safe and healthy as possible this holiday season!!!

Worst case scenario- KU in line for the number one overall seed, plays no games due to a pandemic. Leaving nothing but what if’s for all.

@BeddieKU23 Yes, Kelly should’ve stayed another year, but I’m still upset that Paul Pierce left early.

I love that Bill Self is being blamed for tuning out a roster devoid of post talent and yet his team is playing the best basketball in the nation, undefeated, and ranked #2.

The warts will show, but Bill is doing a masterful job once again.

Wow. Hope he figures life out quickly. He’s blowing a couple once in a lifetime opportunities.

As a Chiefs fan, Mahomes is payback for watching other teams do that to our D for years.

Win at all costs and the fans cry about not looking to the future. Sit Cliff and lose tonight with an eye on the future and fans cry. It’a a good thing KU basketball coach isn’t an elected position. The man has done nothing but win games at a historic rate. KU is 14-3 with a freshman and sophomore dominated line-up in what has been the hardest schedule in the nation. I’m estatic with the win loss record, but think there is much room for improvement in play. That’s what has me excited, KU will be better in March and even better next year.

If Bill manages to win the conference title this year it will be quite the feat with 8 teams in a 10 team conference having been ranked in the top 25. That means 8 teams have been rated in the top 7% of all college basketball. KU will have to earn this championship!

5th year Ochai is more valuable than freshman Ochai will be. This team needs to figure its own problems out. There is no savior in waiting.

Dylans laid new flooring in his flooded office yesterday and feels like an old man today.

How ridiculously happy my dog is every single time I come home, even if it’s only been 20 minutes.

99 yards passing last game. Youch Not sure if he’s salvageable or not at this point. Too bad.

Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.

Strange lyrically - stepping out on your spouse and ending up rekindling, but that wasn’t the goal. Catchy tune though.

@mayjay Usually you’re just snark with no substance, but that is hilarious.

@Kcmatt7 - Some people see Mount Everest and try to climb it. Other people are more sensible and take the road around the mountain. Udeh is going around the mountain, the greats go over.

News dump coming on Friday?

@Kcmatt7 said in 2024 Recruiting:

@dylans I doubt you could afford me anyways.

Let me guess. I’m assuming you’re fairly young - less than 35 and recently married. You switched jobs a few years back, which implies you’re not a legacy so name recognition is out for pay bumps. Also you had to switch jobs to get a pay raise so you’re not at the top of the pay scale. Average accountant salaries are about 55k, I assume you’re good at your job and earn 6 figures. You work for someone; not self employed , but that caps Income. Your moniker implies you may be in the KC Kansas area, if so less than 8% of households make 200k per year. Given your stance on overcoming adversity I figure you’d last until it got hot in July at best. 3-4 months pay at 16k per month I can handle. But you’d have to be in the top 5% performance wise to command that level of pay. Let me know if you’re interested and qualified.

UConn is good, but they don’t do much for me. Not a game I’m really interested in. Really the only game of mass appeal would be the KU v UK game. The rest if I wasn’t a KU fan would be marginal games at best. I’m curious how a non-KU fan would see it, maybe I underestimate the draw of KU to non-fans.

For KC area KU fans I’d guess the KU v MU game would be the mountain top.

The new conference teams kinda water things down from this fan’s perspective. I have no feelings either way about byu, Houston, cinci or rando Florida team. They definitely don’t get the competitive juices flowing - I would not like the scheduling if that was the non-con slate, but you’re stuck with the conference teams.

A Kansas Jayhawk victory ️

AND tada the CHIEFS️ da Bears, not to good. Swiftie is real! Or is it Swifty?

Not a Taylor Swift fan, as her music is aimed at teenage girls, but that was a cute picture of Travis and Taylor cruising in his convertible after the game.

@benshawks08 said in Open as a 18 1/2 point dog to Texas:

@nuleafjhawk I’m not so sure it’s the name on their jersey so much as the fact that they beat ALABAMA. That’s the main reason they are up so high IMO

Texas getting the SEC bump already. Jj Lol. They beat Alabama who’s right next to god (just ask) so Texas must be a top contender! It’s a lot like the rating bump teams get for beating KU men’s basketball team. Texas is appropriately ranked for this week with these results so far.
