From the original post, I actually prefer the remake of True Grit over the original because I hated the Mattie character in the original and wanted her to die because she came across as such a whiny brat. I much preferred Hailee Steinfeld’s performance because she made Mattie more sympathetic and likeable.

The Ladies give it a shot. Got it down to 1 then USC hit them with a haymaker. - -Gonna have a huge rebuild this next yr , losing a lot. - -Losing Frankin , Kirksgeiter , losing Ku’s all time shot Blocker and big time rebounder. Jackson- – last time I heard she had 10 points and 17 rebounds. - -I think Mayberry is done- S’Mya Nichols our 5 8 freshman about all we got coming back

@Gorilla72 said in Sundays Rd of 32 games: Houston plays a bully game, like WVU used to do. I’m surprised they didn’t get away with it tonight. i don’t care who you are ( Not talking about you specifically Gorilla72 ) -but Houston absolutely got screwed on many calls. It was almost like the officials felt they HAD to make a call down the floor. I’m glad they won , representing our Conference, if they need to play bully ball then so be it. Just goes to show People who say basketball is a non contact sport have NO IDEA what they are talking about I actually think it would be quite interesting to see how U Conn would match up with the # 1 & # 2 ranks defensive teams in the Nation , I think they could give U Conn some trouble Shead decided to carrt Houston after the officials fouled everyone else out and that’s exactly what he was doing until they had to foul Shead out too, Housston having to depend on a fifth yr walkon–Glad Houston still alive

Thinking about this a bit more… there might be another explanation for the giving the western sites the early games. Maybe all the staff and operations people are based on the eastern time zone and they know they lose two or three hours flying back, so the NCAA does this so they can get home at a more convenient time or to reduce/avoid overtime pay and lodging costs. If that’s the case, it’s a financial reason. I don’t like it because it seems selfish and prioritizes the organization over the players and the game. Actually that would be very consistent with the NCAA principles.

Turns out this team can be pretty good with a healthy McCulla’ and Timby knocking down 3’s. Just have to hope that keeps up (and hope Bill has a plan to adapt the defense for teams that can expose Hunter’s slow recovery on screens).

KU Women are doing well. Great to see progress since beginning of Bif 12 games.

@mayjay

@wissox I watched the aloha bowl, had a friend w/a kid on the team. My boys went to orange bowl.

@Gorilla72 yep, only one that’d work!

@kjayhawks Glad you got to see a fun game!

I hope his mom saw him play Kentucky, she would’ve seen that coach taught him like she asked.

Before the injury Hishaw looked like a beast and I viewed him as a solid NFL back. He is still very good but not as explosive as prior to injury in my opinion.

@wissox said in Bob Knight Passes away: The only bad thing he did was teach coach K how to coach. That might be a stretch.

That was a beauty of a return. Following blockers and then turning on the afterburners. I know the guy is listed at 5-11 200, but there’s no way he’s that big. Looks more like 5-8 175 to me, tops. Speedy. MmmHmm. https://www.espn.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/combine/_/id/229472/trevor-wilson

@nuleafjhawk said in Where we go from here: Looks like I picked a good game to miss. I wondered why the score was so lopsided. I wonder what’s really going on with Daniels? “Back tightness” can be fixed pretty quickly with a good chiropractor and/or masseuse. Hope we don’t tank the next several games like last year. It all went south after a flubbed handoff attempt for a turnover.

@wissox said in Sanders and the Buffaloes: @BShark Ever since the arrogant coaches arrogant son taunted the AZState student section (after a stirring 3 point win against 3 win ASU) the Buffs have gone 0-5. Truly, a real shame.

Really no question Kevin is better option than a portal guy. I do think the ball sticks on offense when he’s in but it had gotten better by seasons end and played well the last month of the season. It is without question a championship or bust season now. We have a super tough schedule so we will find out how good we are early. It’s a lot of pressure but that’s why you want the older guys.

@drgnslayr yes his rebounding the last few weeks has been solid. I personally like that Gradey will be in the Kansas record books as a OAD. That’s not an easy feat in this era of college basketball. I think he can drive home the nail on being the greatest OAD in KU history this postseason. To me only Jackson is in the conversation, it stinks Joel was hurt because I think he was leading us to a FF but that’s life.
