For graduating! Makes me just as proud as success on the court.

We good.

Seriously, folks. This team is really, really good. Took some elite level weirdness to lose each game so far. First the inexplicable 28 TO’s against dook without Moss then our dude Marcus goes down early against Nova followed by Dot’s brain fart. First against KenPom #1 dook and then KenPom #19 at their place, and we lost by a total of 3 points. The Dayton win is really good. Our freshmen will only get better, just look at the games Braun and Enaruna had today. Marcus will be back. Silvio will eventually find his sea legs. Self’s teams always get significantly better over break with the increased practice time.

The other thing we have in spades is defense, and it will travel. We’re the KenPom #5 defense, essentially tied for 4th. The offense will come around. I’m certainly an optimist by nature so ignore me if you want to see things on the downside. But!

We good.

Incredible Jayhawk. He didn’t always play in situations that were the best for him, but he always played his ass off. He’s going to make life hell for a lot of good pros. Godspeed, Marcus. Jayhawk nation loves you.

Heard from a KU source today they think they got Tucker

I’m in DC right now to see friends and was at the Kansas Society annual banquet last night where Self was honored as Kansan of the Year. It was a really cool event. Self told the story of how Rep. Yoder and Sen. Moran were instrumental in getting Doke’s mom to the states for the Final Four in 2018. She went from not having a passport or transportation to the airport to Texas in about a week. The event was sold out for the first time in a very long time. The list of attendees was absurd: the entire Congressional delegation, FCC Chair Ajit Pai (from Parsons), Sec. Pompeo, a DC circuit judge whose name escapes me, AD Long, and of course Self.

I spoke to Self and Long for just a bit. I didn’t ask about any player in particular since it was just a cocktail reception and dinner, so just told Self I loved the look of the team, and he “thinks they have a chance to be pretty good.” I told Long I was as excited for KU football as I’ve been in about a decade and he loved hearing that from an alum.

Maybe it’s my background in comms and dealing with press for a living, but am I the only one who doesn’t give a rats ass what the media says about KU and thinks KU shouldn’t take their opinions into account AT ALL when deciding punishment? Sure there’s that out of context photo, but the video is much less damning if people would just watch it (https://imgur.com/a/5znZHdo). ESPN doesn’t run KU. CBS doesn’t run KU. Twitter doesn’t run KU. The state of Kansas runs KU. Tell the press they can shove it with their hot takes and we’ll run the show like adults. Yes, there will obviously be consequences for dumbassery. But suggesting this is the end for Silvio and whatnot is absolutely without merit IMO. Would break all precedent from previous dumbassery and wouldn’t serve anyone but the press’s appetite for blood.

1:4 Silvio tea bags Hurt

The only way LOIC can stick is with the football violations. I think it gets dropped on appeal. Long is assembling a UNC type group to fight this thing, and will to the bitter end.

I do think we should self-impose penalties: vacate all wins Billy played in and a postseason ban in football this year.

It’ll be wild. I think we could see a handful of spots turn over. Self is still hungry and will be VERY active in free agency. Buckle up, bucketeers. The Jayhawks are coming.

Sounds like Louisville’s sentence could be released today

@BShark said in Remy to Kansas:

Cyclone fans are struggling too @FarmerJayhawk

“I was told as soon as he went into the portal TJ wouldn’t be interested even if we had room from someone that would know so I’ll trust TJ and others on this”

“There’s a lot of red flags about him that aren’t public. I’ll leave it at that”

Ah the “we didn’t want him anyway” syndrome. Epidemic that started in Lexington, KY I believe

@jayballer67 said in Remy to Kansas:

Gets confusing for me Go to do my troll on the Kentucky bored - - start thinking I’m STILL on the KU board why ? - -Cause they have a thread dedicated to Remy Martin and they have what seems like MORE comments about Remy on their board then we do on our own KU board lmao

Either I’m confused which Board I’M ON or these Kentucky fans are REALLY CONFUSED roflmao - -just sad - -they have like 71 posts about Remy and he isn’t even one of their players lmao

They jelly we’re coming for that all time wins crown

Pretty solid IMO

Pls no. Their conference network is a trash fire and for us east coast Hawks it would be a disaster. B1G is a much better fit.
