Lots of speculating going on, with people thinking they can read minds. Let's all get mad and assume bad faith by a player who may well be in the midst of being far more frustrated than all of our fan-doctors.

Ran 5 miles saturday on the treadmill.

Just saw this. 5 miles on a treadmill...and you find some KU games boring?

3pt defense has been our strength....

It seems to me that we haven't seen this comment all that often in past years!

@wissox83 We actually were undefeated after 2 games (I had thought it was midseason).

So, this confirms what we all knew: Missouri is the first step down on the stairway to Hell.

My IQ has a rep for being very polite. Hope we don't get too many mean IQs.

@ROCKCHALK2025 I remember somewhere in my past...maybe back when having several physical therapists in a friend group...learning that muscles in opposition to injured muscles can get stressed. Similar to how favoring one leg with a sprained ankle or knee can make the other leg work extra. Or cause abnormal movement--for example, Dizzy Dean came back too soon from a leg injury, changed how he landed with his foward foot, and messed up his other leg.

If DP tries to keep his hamstrings loose with extra stretching, that seems like the quads could be getting tighter. I know the worst neck cramps I ever had were alleviated only after heat and massage on the opposite side--that side was really tight but not painful. The side that was hurting was resisting the tightness.

Might mean it's not so weird.

@Jayhawk_69
Bomb the hell out of 'em, I always say--both sides. As Mad Magazine's 1960's parody "The Rifle, Man" had our hero Chuck Connors saying to his son (who asked why if he wanted peace in the West he blew away an old man sitting on a fence): "Son, there ain't nuthin' more peaceful than a dead man."

Peace through destruction. With the added excitement of fireworks on steroids!

BTW, did you mean to post in this thread?

I think the injury experiences with both Embiid and Selby have made Self more gunshy about stars' injuries. He screwed up the game when the played DP extra mins and the quads tightened, and last night screwed up the timing by relying on DP to keep KU in the game. Lots of anger here about someone who played his best game in a while, and who brought us back to a tie. Other guys made a valiant effort until silly mistakes in the last minute.

I sat around yesterday wishing it was next Saturday when I thought we would start having Saturday NFL again. Didn't check, of course, so joke's on me. Congrats, Bears fans!

@wissox83 Naismith? That young whippersnapper had some innovative ideas. That weird game he invented screwed up the economics of peach farming, though. Poor guys had to start buying cardboard and paying their pickers to make boxes because baskets were through the roof. Then glue demand was rumored to be so high there were fewer horses out to pasture.

Funniest thing was after Jim returned a bunch of baskets to the guy he snagged them from. No bottoms left? What the hell did he want baskets for?

@wissox83 Unfortunately, being one of those teams is what defined our year.

Anyone have the same complaints about JD as were really loud about Harris in bb? You know, team leader who stayed too long and didn't rove as capable as initially thought? I don't feel that way, but the knives were out here in Buckets Land for DjH more than they were directed at JD.

'Prox, pray tell, on the new/transmorgified board, is there a way to mark unread items as "read" (individually or en masse) as we used to do? Seems that I can only reduce the Unread list by opening every thread and then backing out.... Thanks as always!

My wife informs me I"ll be on a plane on Monday. But, aha! the game is Saturday instead! Anyone able to fix the title of this thread?

@nuleafjhawk Everything I know about Satan's soul harvesting, as an exchange for improved athletic performance, I learned by watching Ray Walston in Damn Yankees.

Connected, but irrelevant aside: He also educated me about life and WW2 naval service on a South Pacific island. In that same history class, Walston was also the first drag performer I ever saw. I liked Mitzi better.
