Have to say and all know I really get wrapped up in games , I cuss the guys call some names I didn’t even realize I had in my vocabulary lol.

THEN after a cooling off period I realize I’m probably to hard on the kids. Just not use to losing, they have spoiled me - -spoiled us all. I mean 13 Straight yrs of Conference Championships , how many straight weeks in the top 25 ? - How many straight NCAA appearances ? - the last two references holds the record for longest in Nation - - that’s how you get spoiled.

So we have this year , guys just aren’t as good , not as Athletic however were not alone by any means. Here is a little something the other bluebloods suck this yr also, were actually better then some of them. Duke 7-6 and just showed tonight Duke 0-3 against Quad 1 Competition - - o-3 against Quad 2 Competition and has like a 20.5 % chance of even making the Tourney.

This Saturday will mark the 1st time since 1960 that when Duke & North Carolina play one another - - -neither will be ranked.

Look at Kentucky like 6-10 - -they are not making the tourney unless they just go insane - - - Hell Michigan State suck this year too , Michigan St scores 37 points can’t shoot worth a dam - - 37 points against Rutgers - - Tonight the newly ranked # 9 Oklahoma had 18 points at Half against # 10 TT ugly ugly game.

Jerry Palm made a good point on CBS sports , talked about WHY KU was still in the rankings with 6 losses and how they are dropping in the Bracketology but dropping slowly , STILL in their latest bracketology KU is a # FIVE SEED 11-6 on the season and STILL a 5 seed. The Reason ?

KU is 4-5 against Quad 1 opponents big difference. - -just boils down to we are so use to all these wins , some blowouts - -good shooting then we have ONE year of a bad team not super bad but far from what we have had in past and we just can’t seem to comprehend why it feels - looks so bad. The Reason - - Because were just not use to losing, of having this type of season - -just are not use to seeing the guys struggle. It comes from being spoiled - - were KU that just doesn’t happen SPOILED - I know I have realized I have - - I know I’m not the only one here that hasn’t been. – Better times coming - -stay strong my friends, we will get through this. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAB Y

Good god --you guys see that state - -Jalen 21 points in the 2nd half - -the rest of the team 15

Duke loses to GT now 11-10 on the year Don’t think anyway in hell they now make the tourney unless they win the ACC Tourney - - that’s to bad

Is it just me or what > - Mercy seems like it’s been forever for College Basketball to come around again - -seems like forever, I have been counting the day - -been a long football College Season - - Again - My team pro didn’t cut it - -waiting and hoping for good things from the boys. Is it just me ? - Is thre anyone else that is as ready? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK guys , sit back and absorb these numbers for a minute. - You have to go back WAY BACK since the last time KU lost a league opener. It has been 10,938 days since KU lost in a league opener Jan 8 , 1991 - -right at THIRTY YEARS since we lost a league opener. Jan 8 , 1991 was the last time against Oklahoma , those numbers are insane.

Even more crazy during that time, the most impressive part is that during that span 60 % of those wins came on the road AND 33 % against ranked teams during that span.

The ranked teams we beat during this 30 year span : - -# 13 Missouri , # 17 Missouri , # 24 TCU , # 9 Oklahoma State , # 23 K-state , # 21 Baylor , # 23 Baylor , # 23 Oklahoma , # 16 West Virginia , & # 14 Texas Tech - -Stop and think about that for awhile. - -don’t think ANYONE else in Americas cna come close to those numbers. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ex Kansas freshman gethro muscadin has commitment to Richard Pitino and new Mexico lobos

that’s a decent spot - - Good Luck Buddy

Marcus is just fine. Numbers don’t lie , the kid averages 5 rebounds a game from a guard spot - - -he has a 3.6 assist avg - -THAT breaks down to a 3-1 turnover assist ration which leads the team. ( 32-11 )

Leads the team in Steals , Who would of thought this - -Marcus also leads the team in free throw % 86.4 % from the line- -( 19 - 22 ) from the line look how he has improved not even close in this cat the next closest is shooting 80 %

Remember when people cringed when he would shoot the ball ? - - remember when people said he was a non factor on the offensive end ? - -how he was a liability ? - -how they wouldn’t even guard Marcus ? now shooting the 3 at a 42 % clip = - - - pretty dam decent - improved dramatically - -Yet people want him to sit more - -we have to have Marcus on the floor. Brings leadership and an all around game -no body better defensively and numbers show he takes care of the ball 11 turnovers in 9 games - -plzzzzzz who is better? - -it’s cool you want him to sit - -that’s on you Me Myself I’ll take a Marcus Garrett any day of the week. – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well guys , you all know I have been here for a minute now. Had some great threads from people , had some discussions - - some heated - - some not , but after the news I received today all seems minor.

My wife is on Oxygen 24/7 - -has really Severe COPD & forgive me for the spelling as that is not one of my great strengths & but the wife also has emphysma again sorry know that’s not right

Well she went to the lung doctor the other day , has been saying her lungs sound good , so she comes home and a little later phone rings and it’s the Lung Doctor himself asking the wife if she had some minutes to where she could talk. You have to know when the specialist himself calls – not one of his staff , but the Doctor himself - - it can’t be good.

So he proceeds to tell her that after she left he had went back through all her hospitalizations & Dr visits & treatments he was checking cause he said as severe as her COPD is – her emphysma should be just as bad and it wasn’t anywhere close. Soooo he checked some things and told her - - she has a diease & it’s an incurable diease But he wanted her to take a blood test as she had never been tested - - she has it but he wants to see how bad , test her to see if it turned positive or negative to the degree so they could figure out their next step to try and fight/and or control.

So she took the test yesterday , they said if it comes back Negative then they can help control through medicine. If it comes back POSITIVE- - - - - not good , then chances are she will need a liver transplant. - This is called ALPHA -1 has something to do with the liver not filtering out CO-2 like it should , so if she needs a liver transplant more likely then not - we all know how long of wait that can be and the whole process

So I guess what I’m really saying is - -if you feel it in your heart , if you believe - -we could sure use your prayers / – your thoughts. Really puts life and every thing else into perspective makes you realize there are bigger things in life then sports. - -makes for some long days - - don’t know what I would do if something happened - -would be lost , she is quite a bit younger then me - - I’m 66 - - She is 53. - -should find out the results in about two weeks - -gonna be a long two weeks. - Thanks for listening my friends - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well think it was pretty easy to see why we got beat today , It can be fixed for sure, and I know it will be addressed for sure. - - our Defense just killed us today , not sure how many time we were beaten for easy layups - - break downs. - -that was a reason I really think our main reason & then we had NO ANSWER for the Big’s which I was afraid of before the game.

McCormack once he got that 1st foul you might as well taken him out then as he just played like he was too afraid to pick the 2nd lay up after lay up against him.

I liked the fight , the way the guys came back- but just costly turnovers , no defense, getting beat back down the flor.

Wilson done some good things but he also hurt us at critical time too. - Things I think we will get better at were going to be all right - knew they would score quite a bit they love to score - - alot. - have to look at it as just one game - -I forgot we turn around and play again tomorrow - - time to go to work get these things ironed out now. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

is everyone else all jacked up for this top notch game ?

Have been listening to talk off Local sports talk program. Saying that Coach Self has gotten EXACTLY what he was looking for this off Season saying that : KU had added more Athletism - – - - More Scoring - – More height - - We now that TRUE PG , Bringing out points like Yesufu very Athletic # 2 man - - -The other transfer that can Score a stretch 4/5 that shoots the 3 really well. - -they said the big thing IS if he can DEFEND then look out.

Depth ? - - my GOD do we now have depth:- -when you can pull if needed guys that on the bench to play - you have Braun for sure - - Harris to relieve - - Petiford - - Martin -Clemence - - Adams - Curry - Mitch can come in and give 4-5 minutes when you can put that kind out on the floor to relieve spot minutes - you Start Ochai - - - Yesufu - - Martin - -McCormack & can’t remember the other - -But dam man

They said the ONLY thing that might keep KU from being a top 3-5 team in the Nation - THE ONLY THING right now is : - -The upcoming NBA Draft. - -How many of these 3 stay in the draft - Ocahi ? - -Wilson ? - - Martin ? - -they said they think the order would be - -Martin the best chance - -then Oachi - - then Wilson.

They said KU now for sure has the Scoring - you got Yesufu that can go get you 15 - - Martin that can go out and get you 15 - - Oachi can go out and get you 15 - - takes a lot of the pressure off Oachi. - If nothing else we can throw body after body after body - - if we can get past this draft with 2/3 we good . - If we gt say Martin & Wilson back - -were good - -if we get Martin & Oachi back - -were for sure good - -if Martin stays in that might change things some but we would still be good not AS good but still good.

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

Oh believe that. - -you should of seen it , this past season most talk would be about the season - - well this past Season it wasn’t about how P - - - their Season was , no - - they were crapping little green kittens about how many wins they were ahead of us for all time wins - -just dropping little green apples all over the place lol

Remy makes big shots, game winners, whatever you want

Sure was nice to see Remy killing it against some other teams then just us. - -A couple of things I was able to pick up from watching as Remy has a motor for sure - - non stop would love to see us really turn it loose with the guards we have this year , run - run - - run 80 % of the time anyways but yet not totally forget our big boys. - Another thing I noticed and I love - -some don’t but me? - -Screw it I do , Remy has some edge - -some cockiness to him , a little bit of attitude I LOVE it - -I would much rather have a guy like that - -that’s not afraid to show some emotion, you make a great play - - a huge shot at critical times - then hell ya SHOW it let it go- -much rathe have that then someone who celebrates like we at a Tennis match - Mr nicie nice. - - I’m not talking a Silvio type chair thing but hell ya - let people know Hell ya don’t be bringing a pistol to an AK-47 fight. - -Thirdly didn’t realize but sure looks like the kid for sure can distribute the ball - -Holy crap a couple of those passes he made in this clip were - SWEEEEEEEEET. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Marco said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

This was a bigtime get. Maybe the biggest transfer out there that there was. Spring Bill @BShark ?

According to what I’ve been seeing - -Martin was the # 1 transfer coming out of the Portal according to ESPN - -& I think Jeff Borzello I know tha’ts not right spelling but what the hell lol - -he had him as his # 1 transfer - whatever he is - -dam good get

@bmensch1 said in Remy to Kansas:

So I guess this cools the bill self has lost his touch, we can’t recruit without snacks, or we can’t get any good players because of the investigation talk…at least for a week???

This team is good. I’m not as excited about martin as everyone else is, but I’d rather have martin and yesefu over wheeler or tyty. The biggest recruiting get of this off-season is ochai and Jalen. I fully expect ochai to come back…Wilson not so much. I think he’s dreaming about the dolla dolla bills y’all and he could get those in some bulllshit overseas league. I don’t think wilson can compete professionally anywhere in the world right now, but is still a solid P5 basketball player.

I think it’s just the opposite. - - Ochai more likely is gone and Wilson comes back. Ochai more athletic - I don’t think he is NBA ready BUT like you said he is just good enough to be able to pick up money over sea’s in one of their gazillion type leagues they have. - At first I thought there was no way he would leave but it has now slide to more like a 60 -65 /40/35 that he will. Would love to have both come back just don’t think that’s happening

I wonder how much that cost Kansas - - - I guess the lesson is cheating works , Kansas & LSU getting good players - - -then we have this guy : - - KU gonna need ALOT more then this guy roflmao - -gotta love it.

There are a couple of guys from around the country thinking that Remy very well might be the best transfer - -All I know is – got to love it

@jayballer67 “I just want to be able to play for a historic program,” Martin said. “I’m very excited to play for Coach Self and get my master’s degree. I’m hoping to interact with the fans and play in such a historic place like Phog Allen Fieldhouse.”

…

I can’t (wait) to play with those guys,” Martin said. “They have a history of playing deep in the tournament. I’m excited to see what we can do.”

So he will just be here for the one yr right ?
