@FarmerJayhawk The TO margin was a huge factor in 2018 in KU being as close to a bowl game as they were. KU’s offense and defense simply aren’t good enough to give teams extra possessions and expect to win games when they are the least talented team in the conference. Since KU doesn’t appear to have a game changer at QB, a game manager is needed to keep possession as much as possible.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Real Kansans: @approxinfinity guess nobody gets your question. It looks like it’s cold, so not lately. as far as counties, which wasn’t your question, we have 2, Wallace and Rawlins without any cases. Jewell co has 13 cases. Right…@FarmerJayhawk said he didn’t know. My response wasn’t to @approxinfinity it was to him mentioning Jewell Co not being hit by hard by the Covid. Don’t see any complications.

That at Baylor game

Just swinging by to say WE REKT KOBACH

KSU’s president has announced that KSU cannot legally expell the student for his George Floyd comments which I think most here knew that was the case. They are creating some new diversity programs to appease the student athletes since expulsion would be illegal in this case.

@mayjay said in WE’RE BACK: @wissox Congrats on the new job! There is certainly enough upheaval going on this year that having to find another job must have felt like piling on. I am seriously doubting any games will be played this year! Thanks! I’m still skeptical too of any games. Covid being reported among PGA players. LSU got a lot of football players quarantined now.

The tax cut from the TCJA pays a month of rent for me each year. Frankly Amash and I agree on almost every issue. But I still have no idea if I’m going to vote for him.

Bad news all around!

@jayballer73 As much as becoming a better shooter is important for him I think the label " better player" fits what he needs to become. Defensively he is a stud. But his ball handling, passing and decision making can all take a leap. He is a great athlete and is a great team player. I hope he can step up even further this upcoming season to lead with Marcus

@justanotherfan LOL - that’s how insignificant A & M is to me - I forgot all about them.

ESPNu just replayed the game again, Doke was so happy to be celebrating with his teammates and was such a Babyface.

@approxinfinity said in THROWBACKS: @FarmerJayhawk werent those Nike uniforms? How does that work? KU didn’t switch to the trajan font uniforms until 2007-08 so there are Adidas uniforms with the Circus font on them as well.

Kcmatt7 said: FarmerJayhawk said: It made a lot of intuitive sense to me as well. Hopefully we land a QB who can make throws on a rope to the field side, otherwise we’ll certainly be limited in what we can do. I suppose if nothing else we can put the Y to the boundary, but things can get congested. Maybe run more 12 personnel if a second TE emerges? I need to see if some Bethel games are around to watch. I think he used a fair amount of 12 then. I’d like to see us do a lot of 11 with the Y off the line. I think one of our strengths is our WRs. I don’t want to take them off the field really. I’d agree with that. Parchment, Robinson, and Lassiter are a solid true. We’ll see what Fairs, Naylor, Hampton, and Horne can give us as depth. I’d love to RS everyone else if possible. Hard to say if anyone beyond Luavasa can be a bona fide threat in the passing game from the TE spot.

@dylans the longer they play and The more people get busted. It makes the MLB look bush league for not letting Rose in. They can’t prove he ever bet on anything but his team to win. Which shouldn’t be done but it’s not like he was point shaving like several have been busted doing in BBall. The Patriots only get a slap on the wrist for cheating.

I know it’s suffering from some similar issues that AFH does in regards to shifting around the seating for high end donors and students that’s dulled it a bit just like AFH. Assembly Hall at Indiana is a great atmosphere when Indiana is good. Hinkle is up there as well. The Palestra in Philly is on my list. MSG is on there as well because I’d love to see the Big East tournament there one day. Not really too many places out west I’d love to see. Only two I can really think of are the Pit at New Mexico and Edmundson Pavilion at Washington. Cameron’s atmosphere is very odd. It’s a cool place, just odd. First thing I noticed other than it being tiny is the baskets hang from the ceiling like a HS gym, not on stanchions. It’s also odd because in the student sections there aren’t seats, just risers so you have to stand the entire time. I have a couple of friends that went to school there and I just like that it’s essentially a giant HS gym with an old school feel. Most of the other gyms on my personal list are also in the old school arena vibe. Assembly Hall and the Pit just have really great atmospheres, acoustics inside the arenas, and cool architecture so that’s why I have them there.

I ain’t mad.

Woodrow said: Why is everyone so against that Matheny hire? I do not really follow baseball nearly as close as other sports so I am just curious why the uproar over this… He did really well in STL winning .555 % of his games and went to a WS the year they lost Pujos. I was listening to Soren earlier today and his take was “what did you expect”?? @Kcmatt7 I agree on the pricing. I used to go to a lot of games and they were fun. I was lucky enough to go to a couple WS games in 2015, but after that run they raised prices on everything and its absurd what it cost to go and have a night out especially now with the product they are putting on the field. Here is a quote from a Ringer article about him: “Matheny won despite being widely regarded as the league’s worst tactician.” To top it off, he’s very “old school.” He wants a team that’s all gritty players. Which, typically aren’t going to be your 20-something-year old rookies who are trying to develop and are a bit in over their heads. He’s the type of guy manager that is going to mentally break some guys because he’s just an asshole. Matheny could manage the Yankees to a WS and bring some toughness and an edge to a group like that. I think he’s probably great for a ball club right on the cusp that needs an identity. I do not think he is the right hire to develop a group of young players that will be mentally fragile during their first season or two. But that’s my opinion. I really liked Grifol though too, so I’m probably biased just from that. He would have been my first choice by far.
