No kidding!

I don’t work for Weber, I promise, but I’m gonna sing their praises. You get what you pay for and after throwing away some piece of crap that lasted a year in Louisiana humidity I bought a 300 dollar Weber Spirit. That was in 08. I’ve replaced the drip/flavor bars once. That’s it, still works beautifully. Even heat, amazing grill. I just unscrew the gas when it’s not working right and screw it back on and it works well.

Something that I asked about a couple of months ago was Jaden Nickens who committed to play both football and basketball for KU. What I’ve read about this is that basketball is now it is in the same format as baseball and other equivalent sports where teams have hard roster limits and can utilize scholarships however they want. If I’ve read and interpreted this correctly, Jaden Nickens can still play basketball for KU next season and he will count against the 15 player limit, but since his scholarship is for football, he won’t count against the scholarship limit this season so KU would still be fulfilling their NCAA punishment obligation in regards to losing scholarships.

Our identity is mostly throw the ball inside to Hunter. That’s not altogether bad, but, with that strategy we cannot give up lots of 3s to a team because the math isn’t in our favor. The 2 identities that I’d most like to see change starting immediately are 1) the ability to withstand a push by a team and come back from a deficit in the game, take the lead and hold it to the end, and 2) finish the halves – that is, execute flawlessly in the final 1-2 minutes and come out even or ahead of where we were at the under 4 timeout.

@rockchalkjayhawk not real sure what you’re so worked up about. I LIKE napping to golf. The announcers speak in hushed monotone voices and its conducive to good naps. Sorry my nap routine is so upsetting ro you.

@jay4ever Agree about Storr 100 % his feet should NEVER , EVER step foot on the court here again for one minute , he has been given many chances but as soon as he steps on the floor he is an instant turnover or a Black hole- give those minutes to a meaningful player

@dylans said in Chiefs offseason: patellar tendon Yep. crazy. But, i do hope the Chiefs take their time with him, let him fully recover from his broken whatever it is.

KU bb and fb are my favorite but watching my 3 yr gson playing bb is pretty fun too! When he plays D he takes them all the way to the floor, made a 5 yr old gal go crying to her mom. I’ve never laughed so hard!

I still go there because they do put stories on all KU sports, football, soccer, volleyball etc. I concur that quality of articles has dropped but I get to receive information. For this reason, I have started a monthly trial and will see how it goes.

@approxinfinity said in And so it begins -- Players won't play without promised NIL $: Feel bad for the ageless one here. Imagine if KUs boosters were flaky and Self was stuck squeezing them and encouraging the kids that the money was coming. What a drag. Yup. What a crappy position to put any coach in. And remember, NIL money isn’t “pay for play”. Players aren’t supposed to complain about hustling butt but not getting paid. And it’s not supposed to be money for just being recruited. Outside of the court, it’s services rendered. We give you money and you provide a service for us at market rate. But whatever. It’s just crazy. Player revolts are a bad thing.

Naaassssty!

Looks like we’re still waiting to hear who’s gonna do some portaling. Given our guard/wing acquisitions, Elmarko has to be thinking twice about leaving.

@nuleafjhawk @dylans I think the Chiefs’ staff is very set and working like a finely tuned instrument. It could be difficult to bring him back without inpinging on someones’s job. They all said his talk to the players in the playoffs was inspiring, but that doesn’t mean he could slip into a cheerleader role. Not having a place that fits him doesn’t mean they wouldn’t consider him if a job had opened up. The rapid extensions given Toub, Spags and others show the Chiefs don’t want to upset the apple cart.

Victory! No complaints with any road win. Hope Kelce is ok.

QB4 looks good too! #6

@dylans said in The Big 12 conference: Fsu to the sec makes sense. I don’t get the appeal of the big 10 (for anyone really) other than media $$$ The appeal of the Big 10 for many schools is academic. Being a member of the AAU is a requirement for Big 10 membership and these are generally considered to be the top research universities in the country. Access to those research grants is very appealing to university presidents and the Big 10 has historically been considered the top academic league among the power conferences along with the PAC 12. Academics are also why schools like Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, and Georgia Tech have been mentioned as potential Big 10 targets over the years.

@nuleafjhawk yeah we haven’t been to a bowl in like 6 months smh

The drama was mildly entertaining. At the very least it brought some life into Rory’s otherwise lack of give a shit.

@Gorilla72 That’s going to play out again. Juan, Kev, Hunter, KJ are going to play the most. Elmarko, Nick, Braun, Furphy the next 4. Mari sprinkled in as needed. The next 4 has zero collective minutes played at KU. There will be growing pains and a likely drop off to the bench.
