Let’s merge the two discussions in this thread: Maybe Les talks better with a beer.

@BeddieKU23 It’s going to minimize how many effective 4 out teams there are.

It will also make any defense trying to double in the post work much harder to get back to 3 pt defense. If an offense has players capable of making the longer shot, I think 4-out teams continue to run defenses ragged if they try, like us, to continually switch from post to outside.

I just don’t ever again want to see our bigs 10 ft from both the post and the shooter, sitting in No Man’s Land watching shots arc over their heads, and not being in rebounding position because they were lunging outside, either!

@dylans We are grateful you aren’t a fan of a closer team to you. It would be Shockering, to say the least.

I would guess we could accept you being a fan of the NWOSU Rangers in Enid.

@Gorilla72 I live in SC now. Left KU in 78 for UMichigan Law, and moved from KC to DC area in 1981. I never adopted my father’s fandom philosophy, thank goodness! Proud KC fan all the way. My last game at Royals Stadium was when Cal Ripkin was making his farewell tour. Gonna get back to AFH (1979!) this coming year, I hope!

@KUSTEVE My dad alway believed that it was a law of nature that you had to be a fan of a team where you lived. Never understood that myself. But you never decided to a Tampa Bay fan?

After the Royals, I do enjoy the Astros the most, even tho they are in the wrong league.

@wissox Precisely! That, and, a multi-media class with lots of those PSA’s in the 80’s showing the frying egg, with the narration “This is your brain on drugs.” Maybe Reefer Madness for comic relief?

Well, you can let kids avoid college altogether, but that can seriously hamper them later. Maybe schools can work with education specialists (and the certifiers, to avoid being like UNC).

Schools could, for example, create 1 and 2 year certificate programs that actually give them help in transitioning to adulthood, with classes in modern communications, math, basic financials and insurance, life planning, health, etc. Make them available to the regular student population as part of major requirements. Set them up as attractive alternatives for players who think they are OADs and TADs, so they have some practical benefit from going to college. And if they end up having a reason to stay, they can still progress toward more.

Enrolling 1-year kids in classes that are just designed for traditional 4-year students does no one any good.

@Crimsonorblue22 That is awful! I rigged up a large ShopVac once, plus a small drill operated pump, to empty the water out of my flooding cellar when the local stores had sold out of sump pumps. Had to break out a window and run three vac hoses to get the water out over the cellar walls.

Hope your son’s house has been emptied by easier means.!

Title IX depends on shoe money. Women’s sports would not exist without shoe money.

Neither would craps, if you listen to the number of rollers praying for Baby to get a “new pair of shoes.”

@jayballer73 Hopefully, the Jayhawks in the upcoming months will provide an ever-increasing level of distraction for you! Good luck!

All I want to know is WHY he lost his mind. Did they screw up his order?

Perhaps they asked if he was applying to be their short order cook.
