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.

Just realized Buckets turned 10 years old last October!!! Thanks to all who have helped make this site entertaining!

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.

@AsadZ Watson is out for the season I believe.

Per ESPN 14 hours agoBrown (shoulder) is scheduled for a checkup with his surgeon during Week 15 and could receive clearance to resume practicing thereafter, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Spin: Brown has been out all season after suffering a sternoclavicular joint injury to his left shoulder in the Chiefs’ Aug. 10 preseason opener and then undergoing surgery in mid-September. Though initial reports after his surgery was performed suggested that Brown would likely miss the entire regular season, the wideout has seemingly avoided any setbacks thus far in the recovery process and looks like he’ll have a chance to get in a few tune-up games before the playoffs get underway. If Brown’s surgeon is satisfied with the health of his shoulder following the upcoming checkup, the Chiefs will likely open the receiver’s 21-day practice window before mapping out a target date for his season debut. Rapoport notes that Brown could be ready for game action as soon as Week 16, when the Chiefs host the Texans on Dec. 21.

Watching the Bears inept clock management made me realize how big of losers they are. That group will never win. Fire the coach and get someone to coach up Caleb - it is on the QB just as much as the coach in that moment so get him a good mentor. Losers making losing plays.

@AsadZ No just in KC. KSHB (NBC/41-Kansas City)

@dylans oh dont be modest, you can tell us you are a master at peg solitaire

Well then, go fuck yourself too!

Seriously not joking. You’re the worst.

@BeddieKU23 I am of the contention that anyone can rebound. I firmly believe this because it was the only thing I was good at. lol. It doesn’t require much skill, just a basic understanding of angles - where the ball will end up after a shot leaves the hand is easy for me to project, perhaps it isn’t for others. The rest is just hustle - get to the spot the ball is headed and seal your man off. Maybe I’m taking for granted that some people can’t see the angles, it just seemed so natural to me - the only thing on the court that did.

@BeddieKU23 said in Oakland Game Thread:

Disagree he’s playing too many. Play your depth, injuries happen, if you can minimize the risk of injury with some of the guys right now for the long haul you do it. Injuries and guys getting worn down from too many minutes is a real thing that has happened to Hunt, Juan and KJ. We have 10 that belong, figure it out

He always plays this many early, especially in games where we will win anyway. He knows it will be trimmed by conference play but compared to last year the minutes for the big three should hopefully be down.

UNC game was more telling. Bill tightens up his rotation when the competition ramps up.

Let’s leave pegging to the marvel universe.

Now he needs to break out the punt/pass - where the punter underhand tosses the ball high so it looks like a punt. Then the gunners catch it and advance the ball or get interfered with since the other team thinks it’s a punt that they have the right to. It only works if the refs are paying attention and the receiving team isn’t.

It’s understandable if you can’t develop a shot, but anyone can rebound. KJ doesn’t crash the boards. If there is an improbable rebound - like when a guard runs into the paint and snags the board - that will never be KJ. He does other things very well, but costs the team on the boards. Nice kid, dunks the crap out of the ball, very athletic, doesn’t have a nose for boards.

It was hilarious to listen to Will Howard throw them under the bus in his interview last week. Said he had never been coached until he reached OSU. He said he’s never played with such talented players before. Every comment was a backhanded insult to KSU.

And that’s why he has so little fans. No one at OSU cares about a middling one year QB. And he’s lost all his KSU support. If you look at panini direct his cards are among the slowest selling. Not many fans. Kinda pathetic.
