@JoJoAndMe unlikely to both

@JoJoAndMe you’re in luck! Because that’s what’s happening.

@DanR which would be very dumb since the legislature spearheaded the effort and passed the actual bonding authority. The border war continued long into Brownback’s first term, which got to the point where both sides (and people including Laura Kelly) were like yeah this has to stop.

Yeah the rumor is LCC is going to approve a STAR bond package for the Chiefs. The state is getting totally scammed here (STAR bonds have gone through two audits, failed them both miserably, plus the absolute dearth of evidence that stadiums provide much economic impact) but Masterson really wants this “accomplishment” since he’s running for governor.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I wouldn’t be so sure about that

I think we’ll have the lower level done and some temporary seating on the south side for 26, whole thing done for 27. They haven’t released the final plans but my understanding is it’ll basically mirror the west side.

Stokes is a talent you take and figure the rest out later.

They play very slow and try to muck it up so we best be sharp.

9th blocked shot of the night.

A major strength of this team so far.

If I have one MINOR gripe, it seems our guys sell out for blocks too often and give up offensive boards. But that’s on the margin.

I like seeing some bench guys get some run. The depth is a little questionable even with DP, we need preferably 2 of Marko, Dawson, and Kohl to establish themselves as reliable guard depth.

@kjayhawks2.0 it’s not even remotely close, he’s our best player. His BPM is almost 19, which is absolutely silly. For reference, the guys you mentioned were between 8-10. And that’s not even counting him going supernova against Louisville. He just has that other gear that’s unreal.

Yeah he’s definitely not all the way back yet. We saw what player he really is against Louisville, the best guard in college hoops.

DP's absence is turning KU into a very good team. Which is good, because you can stick a fork in him. He's done. We will not see him play the rest of the season.

lol

I’m missed most of the game, was able to listen to parts of it. So DP is hurt yet again or what is the story there? Council found the bottom of the net I see.

DP played 31 minutes (season high) but his hammy got tight late. It’s pretty clear to me he’s just not quite in game shape yet. The burst is almost there, but needs a little more time to come back entirely.

Well, let’s get this beatdown over with.

@TYOHawk you’re 100% right. At some point you have to just pivot. To use a metaphor, if the lady you’ve been seeing for 6 months or whatever doesn’t want to commit you move on.

We’ll be factors for Branch if Stokes goes elsewhere. He’s just on the back burner for right now

@crimsonblu22 I’m not sure. I would guess there wasn’t overwhelming enthusiasm to play

@Kcmatt7 I’d bet a lot they will. ESPN makes a lot of money on them and they draw a spectacular audience relative to whatever else they’d put on. Even garbage bowls draw 3m+ viewers.

@Kcmatt7 we’re not going to get fined. A lot of smaller bowls are money losers for schools. Just not $500k bad. They’re just contractually obligated to go if they win 6 games.
