Philly gets a good road win to push to a 3-1 lead. I actually enjoyed watching as I usually do when Philly is playing. Joel had a tough game with 8 turnovers (team had 25) but still managed a double double and some huge blocks in the forth. I was impressed with Wade, dudes well past his prime but still lead his team in scoring and dam near pulled it out for them. JJ Redick is one of the former hated dookies on Philly, but I don’t hes in the same category as Allen and CL, I don’t remember him being anywhere near as dirty.

I actually think this could be a good thing for Dokes improvement. I think there is a good chance he returns, that being said I have no problem with him leaving because it seems obvious that he wants to help his mom stay outta the trouble thats going on in Nigeria. Just hoping he can do what’s best for both him and her.

I like the idea of getting some new stuff built to help recruiting, I think the new locker rooms have helped us get some of the guys we currently have. I like that Beaty has finally accepted that the air raid just isn’t going to work right now and has put more of an emphasis on the ground game. Some of here have criticized this say we’ll get beat by 25 instead of 40 but I think it can give us a chance to actually be in more games late, to win you’re gonna have to be part of the game after half time. I think our most explosive player on offense maybe Herbert, so why not try and get him more touches. So many times the last 3 years we have ran 3 plays and punted in 25 seconds. That can’t happen as often as it does and expect the defense to compete the whole game that way. I honestly am excited about how good our defense can be this season. Beaty’s job is no question on the line this season to put it nicely. He must win a minimum of 4 games and KO the longest road losing streak in recorded history week 2 vs central Michigan. I personally don’t think it will be hard to find a better coach, seriously? 1 win vs FBS, you could make the argument today that Beaty is the worst head coach in not only KU history but in collegiate history. I don’t know how anyone could do worse.

Goodness, you know if the boys have his type of attitude, show’em the door today. Why wait? I’d say I have a better chance of winning the lotto than them going back, they’d have to sit another year. A lot of people said these guys were trouble when we took them, run your mouth and get left high and dry we don’t need guys like this.

KSU will be preseason top 20 and probably be a top 3 B12 team if Brown stays. It will be interesting to see if they get Bruce’s usual transfer quota to free up some roster spots and if it’s just guys that didn’t play much this year.

I’m trying to get into this season, haven’t really tried in several years. But seems how spring has decided it’s gonna wait, I’m watching while stuck inside. I’m hoping to see a 76ers vs Thunder finals, doubtful but you never know.

@BShark I’m sure Nike is just as guilty, I’m sure they will get away with it having Coach K like they always do.

@HighEliteMajor sadly I just bought a pair of Adidas shoes Saturday, I think I’ll stick to new balance til this crud is worked out.

I’m fairly worried at this point that the 2018 season could easily be vacated, at least the wins that Silvio played in. Interesting enough a source I trusted today told me before this news broke that KU maybe headed away from Adidas very very soon. I would be shocked at this point if stuff isn’t vacated, hopefully they have stuff on some Nike schools like Dook or we could be headed down real quick.

@Buster-1926 Self has underperformed in the tournament several times with talent, he himself has even eluded to it as @BShark said. One could say 04,05,07,10,11,13,16 and 17 all were years where the talent to not only get to the FF but play for a championship. We are Kansas we have had the talent to atleast get to the FF I’d say 10 or 11 years of Selfs 15 year tenure, that being said I realize it’s damn tough to make the FF and every coach has had talented teams miss out.
