Thought you might get a little hee , hee out of this. - -a little tid bit: - the amount of wins Mitch Lightfoot has against K-State in his KU Career - -( 10 ) The Number of Wins K-State has against KU in their last 32 Seasons ? - - ( 8 ) - that’s truly a Kodak moment . ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
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
@drgnslayr said in Coach K to retire after 21-22 season:
It was fun rewatching that clip.
It doesn’t even seem to have happened when you talk with sports media. It is a game totally underappreciated by everyone but Kansas fans. That was one helluva game and the comeback was monumental… even though forgotten and swept under the rug of everyone NOT Kansas. Pity the poor fools. We all just love good ball, including games not including Kansas.
true , almost like in 88 with Danny and the Miracles. Who ever thought KU had a chance to beat Oklahoma in that game? That was even including some KU fans , All I remember alot of was how Billy Packer kept saying how it was a big mistake for KU to try and run with Oklahoma in the 1st half and the half ended at 50-50 I know this might sound crazy , but I almost believe we had that Championship at the half. Why is that ? - -Because I think we had got into Oklahoma’s heads , thinking these guys think they can run with us, this is OUR game. Then when we matched them point for point and even at the half playing their style , got them to thinking what it took to run us out.
I think that was another game where ho one really appreciated how well we played that game other then KU fans and so many players coming up clutch. Of course Danny was Danny. but so many other role players came up big. The one I remember most was Clint Normore - -A FOOTBALL PLAYER hitting a huge shot from the top of the key latet, just love that game. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@FarmerJayhawk said in OU, Texas to the SEC?:
Some scuttlebutt KU to the B1G will be done by the end of the week. I’m taking it with a Hutch Salt Mine sized grain of salt.
Enough to make you go Hmmmmmmm though huh Famer ? - You know & I know we ( KU ) can’t afford to just sit back and be passive on this. This thing is REAL - - very REAL , and we sure don’t want to be caught with our pants down. - - The B1G is more likely then not our best option. Geographically wise , and IF this is true let’s just hope we don’t have to match up against the Ohio States - the Michigan’s to much in football lol. - -I think Coach Leipold will be fine BUT let’s be honest having to play those guys and try to be competitive at this point could be ugly - - -real ugly, which in turn could very well have that trickle down effect on the team Moral wise/ confidence wise.
Basketball Wise - - psssst please right - -we will match up with anybody in the B1G basketball wise. would make for some very entertaining games. - -We shall see, I myself think this is ALL going to snowball very quickly. - I just do not think there is any chance in hell this league is still around till 2025. I fully believe that OU & Texas will be playing SEC in 2022 - - cause I think this league will be gone by 2022. just my thoughts. - - the Big 12 days are numbered and they are little 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
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.

Just the same song and dance just another year. - Kentucky & Duke just yanking all the top tier athletes. For 2022 recruits :
Kentucky with the # 1 - - # 6 - - # 7 ( he is a lock ) - - & 17. - - - - -Duke with the # 2 - - - # 5 - - -# 8 - -& # 16. - Yet Cal continues to wet himself with the talent he gets. - does less with more. Think the UK fans getting pretty fed up with the conversation I’m reading
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Reports: RB Velton Gardner leaving KU football via transfer portal:
He may be our leading rusher though, after our qb.
no the writing was on the wall. Neal was starting to take majority of the snaps , another game or two - -Neal would be your starter, Him & Hickson
@FarmerJayhawk said in Reports: RB Velton Gardner leaving KU football via transfer portal:
He won’t be the last this year.
very little production, lost like he lost a step slower
Have always found it kind of interesting when I hear people talk about Bill not being able to recruit top ranked players , talking about why can’t he be more like Calipari. Calipari always getting loaded classes.
That’s very true , he does BUT Calipari doesn’t do really anymore then Self in the same length of time with those top notch players. stats pretty much sum that up. Since the year of 2000 Kentucky has been to two NCAA title games. One in 2012 ( this being the year he beat Bill ) and then in 2014 when he lost. - - So since 2000 the Great Cal has been to TWO title games and since 2000 Calipari & Kentucky has won ONE NCAA title.
Since 2000, KU has been to THREE NCAA Title games , yes true Bill only accounts for TWO ( same as Cal ) & yes Bill also has a 1-1 record in those Championship games , Beating Cal in 2008 when he was at Memphis & losing to Cal in 2012 while at Kentucky. So in reality Cal has don actually ZERO better then Bill and that is with all that superior talent that Bill can’t recruit. Cal constantly landing top ranked or Top 2-3-4-5 ranked classes .So what does that say ? - Cal does less with more talent ?- Could Bill have won more Championships with that talent ? - -Who knows ? - Thing is Calipari has done exactly nothing more then Bill during his time at Kentucky then Bill has i his time at KU
Plus PLEASE don’t try and throw out feeble reasoning saying WELL CALIPARI has been to the final four more then Bill. AND ? tell me is that the goal ? - is to reach the final four ? - -is that a teams goal at the beginning of the year ? – ummmm NO. - - it’s to win the NCAA title. , not make the final four - - Calipari has ONE and Coach has ONE - -yet Calipari consistently lands the top tier better talent. So you tell me Calipari really a better Coach ? - -Nope not at all , could mean actually Bill does a better job with the kids he gets then Calipari does with the talent he gets. -Just kind of amusing to me to hear people bitch about Bill
That Chiefs Defense has a LONG way to go , you can’t give up that kind of yardage against good teams and expect to win
@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Boils down to if Kentucky needs to take Bona. They might not in which case KU would have a shot…
Kentucky fans have a feeling that Lively going to pick Duke tomorrow so goin all in on Bona. – They said Cal was going to visit Bona again TODAY. - -that seems kind of hard to do isn’t it when he is on his visit to KU this weekend. - - Some think they get Lively & Bona both -some think with Cal visiting Bona today means Cal already knows Lively is committing to Duke. - still hope , if not then let’s get Udeh
