You’d drink too if you realized you just left KU for Wichita State !
Hope there’s not already another thread about this guy…
This guy is a BEAST. I am always comfortable when Frank and/or Devonte have the ball in their hands. I am always STOKED when Josh has it. What’s this guy gonna do next? One hand stuff from the free throw line? Crazy pass from the top of the key that no one else can make? Float in from halfcourt and finish with a two hand jam from Frank or Devonte? Make free throws in the clutch when everyone says he can’t shoot free throws? Block a shot? Play great defense?
This kid is amazing. Way better than…previous OAD’s and way, way, way better than what I expected at the beginning of the season.
I’d give up 3 years of football bowl eligibility to keep him here another 3 years.
I crack myself up.
I’ll go to early church and thank God that the sun came up. I could do it at home, but the church has really good music…
After church, I’ll go to late breakfast with my great brother in law and his incredible wife.
After that I’ll go visit my sister-in-law who has stage IV pancreatic and liver cancer.
Sometime tomorrow afternoon, I’ll call my 81 year old dad in Texas and see how he’s feeling after having a cancerous kidney removed on Monday.
Then I’ll call my two incredible kids in Kansas City and see how their week was.
I’ll prepare myself for the onslaught of BS at work on Monday. And you know what?
It won’t bother me one bit.

What made Frank (not even his season) is that he’s a Man. Not a punk. Does his job. Doesn’t complain when the calls go against him, doesn’t take credit when he puts the whole team on his shoulders (as he did many times in his career). He’s humble, determined (to the point of obsessed during the games), and smart. Can we PLEASE get the NCAA to allow him 3 or 4 more years of eligibility? If nothing else, just to be an example of what a college basketball player should be.
@Kip_McSmithers Going to Texas would give him the opportunity to lose to KU every year…
@drgnslayr I was talking with a friend this morning and said we’ve had this same conversation about a hundred players over the years.
Where are we going to find the next Aaron Miles? Jacque Vaughn? Danny Manning? Nick Collison? Raef LaFrentz? Sherron Collins? I mean this list could literally go on for hours.
But they do it. The coaches are out there constantly finding/making great talented kids who become Jayhawk legends. I am already stoked to see who the next one will be after Frank. (I wish he could stay another 4 years also!)
I think most people on here know how I feel about Josh Jackson - I think he is by far, without question the best OAD that we’ve ever had, and maybe ever will have. I love when he has the ball in his hands. But he will never in a million years occupy the space in my heart that Frank Mason or many, many other 4 year guys will have. Losing Frank is almost like a death in the family. I hope that doesn’t offend anyone who has recently lost a loved one, and i know i tend to exaggerate, but it’s kind of similar. There’s a grieving process to go through.
Hopefully the National Championship this year will relieve some of the grief.
A game at Allen Fieldhouse is really something spectacular - even if you’re not a KU fan. Here’s what I mean: Many years ago (2011- I googled it) I had two tickets to KU v Ohio State. We were ranked #13 and Ohio State was #2. My wife and I were friends with a gal whose husband was a big Buckeye fan. For some reason I still can’t fathom, I asked him to go to the game. I pick him up at his house and he’s decked out head to toe in Red/Gray. He didn’t even have the car door shut and he was running his mouth about how bad they were going to kick our butts.
So, I endured the 2 1/2 hour drive to Lawrence and we got there 2-3 hours early. We toured the whole place, saw everything there was to see- all the trophies, etc. Then we get into the fieldhouse and there’s the usual pre-game festivities. The chants, the videos, all the hoopla. I’d noticed for some time that he was getting quieter and running his mouth less. Just before tip-off he told me " This place is unbelievable - I have goose bumps - Ohio State doesn’t have ANYTHING like this ".
We could have gone home right then and I would have been happy. Fortunately we won.
It seems like this post went from Bill Self having heart issues to him being a staggering drunk. Unless he publicly says “Hey - I’m a staggering drunk”, everyone should probably quit talking about it. So he gains a few extra pounds. At 60 years old. I know a lot of heavy 60 year olds. And 20/30/40/50…you get the idea. He can afford good food now. He doesn’t have to eat beanie-weenies and kraft mac & cheese any more. He probably doesn’t like diet soda.
It would be like seeing your buddy’s wife wearing a short skirt and saying " I knew it. She’s a prostitute. For real. One of the main symptoms of being a prostitute is wearing a short skirt."
Grow up people. As far as I know, this is still a country where people are innocent until proven guilty. I’ll drink to that.
Section 3, paragraph 9: If a review will remotely, in any way shape or form benefit the University of Kansas, either now or a 100 years from now it is strictly forbidden.
I wish SOMETHING would start. I’ve been at home for a couple of days with the 'vid and I’m bored out of my mind. Even with 10,000 shows to watch
The best thing about Joe Biden - he’s not Trump
@jayballer67 I think he was under appreciated by a whole lot of people.
@dylans also without naming names, convicted criminals should not be eligible for office. And I haven’t been east of Kansas City since March.
@kjayhawks I am admittedly politically ignorant. I’ve never been interested in the whole thing. But now, I’m fearful for the first time in a long time. Only bad things can happen if either of these …people are our next President. I wish this country would abandon the Republican/Democrat ideology and vote for the most qualified, best person. We need to revamp this government.
In a country of 300 million-ish people it’s almost unbelievable that we can’t find TWO people who are running at full capacity and aren’t perverted, self righteous, misogynistic, convicted criminal assholes.
Yes, @approxinfinity , let’s start our own political party.
@kjayhawks Yes, pretty much everything in this country is ridiculous right now. I’m embarrassed for and saddened by this country. I have never talked politics much, but we need help. I almost hope that no one here expresses their political beliefs, because I’m afraid there would be a lot of people that I wouldn’t like anymore. But if you’re so inclined, pray for the USA.
I’d like to see every team as an independent. F conferences.
If the past is an indicator of the future, he/we are screwed. If he stays healthy it could be a season that will be talked about for a long time.
