Thank you Head Coach Bill Self, not for getting KU hundreds of wins on your way to 600, but for changing the lives of so many young men across literally the whole world. Jamari Traylor was once homeless living in car, Bmac was stuck in a low income house hold sleeping in the same room as all of his siblings to stay warm. Cole Aldrich’s dad was laid off and not able to support his family anymore. Joel Embiid was just a tall dude from half way around the world trying to make a name for himself to get out poverty. Just a few examples of many while Self is a great coach, Congratulations 600.

I wasn’t able to watch the first half of yesterdays contest. It was my wife’s birthday so we went out for lunch. With that I listened to the pregame and most of the first half via radio. During the pregame they interviewed Zenger our athletics director. He told a story about Frank. It was last year during the first 0-12 season in KU FB history, the Hawks were being handled by KSU late in the second half. Mason was still sitting out in the freezing drizzle lonesome to support his university and stayed til the final seconds ticked off the clock. Character, not that we have questioned Frank’s, I just thought it was neat story about our PG and his loyalty.

With a loss tonight Scott Drew will have more losses in AFH than Bill Self.

In all honesty it’s a little ludicrous that we as fans (myself included at times) are giving these guys such a tough time. We just won our 20th game for the 29th season in a row (NCAA record). We are pretty much guaranteed another tournament birth for the 29th straight year (NCAA record). Even if we don’t win the conference I think we’ll be okay friends. Did I mention that Self has signed the 3rd best recruiting class and could add to it with Langford plus our transfers. Let’s all get to the field house Saturday and support the heck outta these guys. It will be a special day with the 08 team as well as game day in town.

Kansas was at home for the final time this year celebrating senior day vs Texas. Texas started early scoring a TD on their play from scrimmage on a 75 pass. The defense put the clamps on after that as Senior Brandon Stewart got a pick 6 to start KU scoring. They Created 4 turnovers in the second quarter, but only lead to 10 points on the board, so KU held a 10-7 lead going into the locker room. The second half started bad as Stanley thru a pick just 3 plays in that lead to a short field and easy score for Texas to take the lead 14-10. We pretty much traded punts til the fourth quarter until a costly fumble bye Quv at mid field after a 19 yard catch that left texas again with a short field and a TD. It was was half way thru the 4th when the offense which had struggled all game and being down 21-10 finally showed up. Hiebert dived into the endzone on a 80 yard drive engineered by Stanley, then steven sims ran in a 2 point conversion to put KU back to with in 3, 21-18. The Kansas defense once again came up huge with 58 seconds left stopping Texas on a 4th and 5, and man this defense played unbelievable most of the day 6 turnovers, 4 sacks and 8 TFLs. The offense worked its magic as Stanley started the drive off with a 21 yard scrabble, aided by a Texas late hit. Matt Wyman tied the game with 7 seconds to go on a 35 yard FG. Then came overtime with Kansas winning the toss and going on defense first. A bright young freshman DB Mike Lee intercepted Texas to end their possession. With Kansas knowing they needed only 3 to win Senior RB Kinner held on to the ball and took us to the 3. A false start moved us back to the 8 but it didn’t matter nor did the attempt to ice Wyman bye the Texas staff, his kick sailed thru the up rights and WE BEAT TEXAS for the first time in 78 years. Just unbelievable guys, other than winning the orange bowl and NC in 08 idk if I have ever teared up after a game and seeing coach Beaty’s emotion after the game, it just moved me on how hard these guys are trying to win. A wise man once told me that sometimes the team that loses works a lot harder than the team that wins and I think that’s been the case for much of this year. I’m really speech less on how proud I am of these young men that flatout play their asses off every stinkin week, I love the fight they have, proud to be a KU Football fan. RCJH.

Kansas wins on Monday and Thursday with Trae announcing he’s a Jayhawk.

My Wife Graduated from Kansas in 2002, her favorite KU player was Kirk Hinrich. So naturally when she got a dog, she named it after Hinrich. Monday morning her beloved dog of 15 years had to be put down for health complications. I was able to met Kirks dad at a KU game with my wife in 2014 and at that time we didn’t have any kids and had told him about how much we liked Kirk. Enough so that we had a dog named after him at home, I think he got a kick out of it. I thought I’d share with everyone and give our dog one last shout out.

I literally could cry…this sucks so much a$$.

Creighton as a 1 seed Lmao still funny

@approxinfinity what in the hell is that nonsense

@BShark I think he could be the 6th man on next years team. They have a chance to be much improved offensively. Probably a push in the rebounding but defensive will be a question mark.

@bskeet no one could’ve predicted what upset would’ve happened. That’s why I don’t agree with giving us any type of award. Man it will be a long time before I get over not playing this year.

@approxinfinity When we did our pick up last week I did the last one and Lysol’d the stuff in my truck. It was cold so we left it in there for 2 hours and wiped off everything with Clorox wipes but some drinks and stuff that I sat in the garage and have sprayed 3 times now. Probably going a touch overboard but may as well be all in at this point.

There is so much contradicting on this thing. We ordered some river rock from Menards this past week and paid a ridiculous amount for delivery but are waiting to touch it because of germs. It has sat in our drive since Thursday morning. I will remove the outter plastic tonight and go straight to the dumpster with it. Then Lysol the individual bags all while wear gloves and straight to the shower after.

@bskeet hard for me to believe that we would’nt have made at least the final four this season.

I haven’t watched the 2003 or the 2012 loss yet. The 2012 would be easier on me. That 2003 game was one of the hardest KI loses next to Arizona in 1997 that I’ve ever dealt with. Usually I’m mad for a day, those 2 took months to recover from.

@DoubleDD Congress is an issue right now because they would have to issue a nationwide stay at home. The president doesn’t have that power.
