    • Cheer Up!

      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.

    • Self Honored as Kansan of the Year

      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.

    • RE: So here is a question after tonight

      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.

    • RE: Trouble?

      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.

    • RE: Brent Dearmon appreciation thread

      Stat of the day. We haven’t scored 35+ in two league games in 10 years. Dearmon did it twice in his first two games.

      Oh my god, was this a zero handlers class? @FarmerJayhawk do you know anything about Enaruna in that regard?

      As far as Enaruna, no. I do know Braun’s recruitment was handled by the JoCo yoga moms. I think we had to back up the Brinks truck full of Starbuck’s and Barefoot wine.

    • Not Exactly a KU Topic...

      But can we talk for a second about how Grayson Allen is total garbage and dook ought to be shut down for enabling his douchebaggery? https://deadspin.com/grayson-allen-ejected-from-summer-league-game-for-you-1836299774

      We love our local players until they get to KU and then we rip them to shreds.

      @approxinfinity said in Mitch McConnell's Missing Soul:

      The Republican Party is a dumpster fire regardless of CNNs coverage. Do you really think a Trump supporter has any awareness of whats on CNN?

      No doubt. Right of center covering of media has been a fixture for a loooooong time. Like there are entire think tanks that just do media bias stuff, like they did Media Matters well before Media Matters was a thing. Fox opinion shows regularly have media bias segments. And that’s not including social media. The Right looooves a good media takedown.

    • RE: Mitch McConnell's Missing Soul

      No but we don’t need CNN breathlessly reporting everything down to her office decor. It’s Congress, not a race for high school student council. Though they cover them with about the same amount of intellectual rigor.

    • RE: Mitch McConnell's Missing Soul

      @approxinfinity he’ll back conservatives that can win. So Christine O’Donnell types are going to be a big old nah Dawg. If leadership has to get behind a candidate they don’t love because they need the seat, well, that’s been a thing for 200 years.

      @mayjay I hope folks just start ignoring her. Every time the press runs another story she raises a ton of cash. Best way to get rid of her is just forget she exists. Ditto on the D side with Rep. Omar.

      If we end up needing a wing spot, I’d give this guy a look https://twitter.com/JucoRecruiting/status/1365318540912431111

      Probably somewhat redundant to Wilson and Adams. Those numbers are legit though. Kid is really good.

    • RE: Mitch and Teahan

      @BShark strongly agree. Haven’t heard any rumors of them being dead set on anything. My guess is Och tests and comes back. Jalen would be not good in a combine setting so I think he’ll come back. No NBA team wants a meh athlete that can’t shoot. He has to prove he can be a consistent perimeter threat, improve FT shooting, and figure out how to drive left.

      @approxinfinity watch the invisible primary for 24 and the real primary in 22. It will be all out war between McConnell-backed candidates and Trumpy weirdos

      What about Marcus? What’s he going to do?

      Give a speech Saturday, then make a final decision after the season. I’d say 90% chance he leaves
