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.

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.

I’m fine, but I’ve found life is better without @Texas-Hawk-10 and others in it. Best of luck to all of you, but I don’t plan on coming back barring a major change.

@wissox @Crimsonorblue22 @kusteve @jayballer54 @approxinfinity you’re cool. Thanks for the fun over the last few years. @bshark I barely knew you. Thanks for the KU info.

Don’t believe everything you read, the number of untested perfectly fine people is much higher than reported. My first hand experience is limited, but I know several of my friends that have it in Florida are ok and nearly out of quarantine. They are the lucky ones; they have antibodies now and should be immune for a year or two.

Lack of sports is killing the illusion that we can all get along when the only thing we have in common is KU basketball. With no other common ground it’s difficult to have a civil discussion about anything of importance. A series of monologues isn’t a conversion, it’s just exhausting with nothing gained - little to no entertainment value and most posts are only opinions with little to no factual content to absorb. Until recruiting picks up or actual games are played in front of fans I’m on hiatus. I get enough of weenies that just want to blame others on tv without actively inviting that level of jack-assery into my life. Do something if you’re that passionate other than bitch.

@dylans That cartoon is funny! I will enjoy seeing his appointment of medical expert Jared added to the cartoon!

And the unproven anti-malaria drugs are also used to treat lupus. Some lupus patients cannot get them now. Yeah, good job.

The blame game is a great diversionary tactic.

I get it you’re scared, you’re old and at mild risk. It’s people with underlying health conditions that are going to be at severe risk. The thing is they should’ve been culled years ago. Those genes are bad, but we (myself included) lack the intestinal fortitude to tell people not to breed instead we create a population that is weak and is putting us all at risk. Viruses are God’s/nature’s way of fixing this.

@mayjay yes

Meanwhile a 19 year old friend of mine is volunteering in Seattle hospitals after the habitat for humanity project he was on got cancelled and all the healthcare professionals in the area quit out of fear. Personal responsibility is the only way out of this. Blaming the government is a great way to bury your head in the sand, divert blame, and do absolutely nothing to help.

Personally I’ve donated money I don’t have to others that need it more and hired people I don’t need for jobs that don’t currently exist.

Most of what I hear is fear turning people into brain dead zombies that are going to face multiple lawsuits when the dust settles and the constitution is upheld.

@mayjay I think you’re supposed to form your own opinion as opposed to having one given to you.

You can’t help stupid people from hurting themselves. We probably shouldn’t try. It would improve the gene pool.

Another theory (put forth by a doctor that specializes in this) is we are doing everything wrong. Kids should be in school getting exposed and building antibodies to the virus. Then they would be the first line of defense against the viruses future spread. Get enough healthy people exposed and immune to protect those that are susceptible from future exposure.

‍️ even the experts can’t agree, but everyone is doing what they can and politicizing the issue is disgusting.

@kjayhawks I didn’t either, before this month…seemed relevant though. I was curious how it was handled 100 years ago. Turns out about the same. Scary to think we really haven’t advanced much on virus warfar in the last century.

@drgnslayr it’s a very interesting time. I think stuff will hopefully be back to normal by then. Ether a vaccine or better treatment. I was reading an article the other day that I’m having trouble finding again that was talking about how crazy it will get if this last into next fall/winter. People will go crazy and more people will die from starvation than this virus at that point. This country survived the Spanish flu and polio which were much much more deadly and they didn’t shut down crap.

Actually they shut down everything nation wide for the Spanish flu. Places like St. Louis shut down early so they didn’t have a many deaths or a high infection rate. But because not many were dying they opened back up too soon and had a second peak bigger than the first.

@BShark Bill and staff are having to work at it. They’ve been pretty darn good at identifying under the radar talent. Unfortunately that’s going to have to continue as the top recruits aren’t beating the doors down right now.
