@Eric-san Wow! Didn’t expect that…

They were trying to strip the ball more than tackle him. Hell of a run!

@drgnslayr This is starting to look like the formation of two super conferences and the rest being minor players unable to attract enough eyeballs. I don’t like it but there’s a real chance that KU ends up being one of those minor players. It would seem that the best case scenario for KU long term would be to get picked up by one of those super conferences, preferably the B1G. UCLA and USC going to the B1G is not simply a shot across the bow, but more like general war with the B1G and the SEC brushing aside the collateral damage they’re responsible for. And if things keep going in the direction they seem to be going, being an independent isn’t that crazy of an idea.

I too chose not to watch the second half, because I really hate to see them lose. Instead I decided to wait for the fireworks in town. My birthday is on July 4th and I’ve always liked celebrating Independence Day and it was so sweet hearing the first boom off in the distance. I thought, you gotta be kidding me. And the flood of fireworks just kept coming. I immediately started watching the second half and zipping through the commercials. I know this is weird but it’s good for my blood pressure

@KirkIsMyHinrich Adding KU and Notre Dame would be pretty much a home run for the B1G. Without adding someone like Notre Dame, the B1G can sit back and wait it out. I did see where someone mentioned a KU/MU package to the B1G, and at first I thought it kinda ridiculous, but honestly it’s not that crazy. Both AAU and geographically it makes sense. It would open up another spot in the SEC for OSU or whoever fits best for them. Personally, MU can suck it, but anything facilitates our move to the B1G, I’m down.

@BShark Exactly. I suppose that if someone wants to drive without wearing their seatbelt that’s on them. They generally will only put their own lives in danger. However, a drunk driver (the unvaccinated) is a danger to themselves and others.

There’s video of Doke working out and he was pretty fit looking. I think he’ll be able to play more minutes at a speed we’ve never seen from him. No more baby fat!

Wow!

Marcus. I’m good with that.

I think I want the Hawks to play Auburn… dang!

Dewey defeats Truman!

@approxinfinity

They’re slacking…

My nephew is a MU grad and I’ll never forget his response to David Padgett’s game winning shot against MU at the Hearnes Center. He was so pissed. He said that David Padgett will forever be known as David f’ing Padgett to MU fans. Still makes me laugh the way he said it.

@BShark

Just think, we could have had three Mitch’s if Mitchell Ballock had signed on!

I’ve been laying low for a while, but decided to take a peek at the board. Surely there’s a less polarizing subject to argue over - like politics or religion

Wasn’t K Hinrich lottery pick in 2003? I suppose technically he might not be considered a point guard though.

It was a respectable season and the Hawks were a lot of fun to watch, but that was a tough ending. I’m sad for sure but the guys that had bad games tonight feel a lot worse. At least I don’t sense that Bill puckered as much as we didn’t play well and Oregon did. I also don’t believe we got beat by an inferior team. Oregon is good - good enough to cut down the nets, so I’m gonna let it go while hoping Donna Altwoman stubs his pinky toes in the dark every time he gets up to take a leak in the middle of the night.

@Lulufulu

Wow, 3-0? Were all three in the tourney? Crazy!

@drgnslayr

Didn’t we beat Roy in 2012 in the S-16 or E-8? Seems like a mental thing Roy can’t overcome.

@nuleafjhawk he wouldn’t back down! BIFM!

BIFM = Bridges I’m Frank Mason!

So much for the KC Star getting into our teams head throughout the season. They can suck it.

I was gonna go to bed, but I think I’ll stay up to see if Cincy can knock off the Alford’s.

@JayHawkFanToo It would be an awesome win for South Carolina and Martin. Go Cocks! That just sounds bad.

Saw that. Pretty cool, but Matt is no Christian Moody! Greatest walk-on of all time. Per Dukie V…

Looks like the Ratface is in a battle with F Martin and his gamecocks! Love to see the pukes go down tonight. Zebras will probably have something to say about it though…

Not gonna lie, starting to get nerv-anxious. It’s making me make up words…

For me, I used to focus too much on the poor/boneheaded plays of our team and not fully appreciate the beauty of how these same players would spool off a 17-2 blitz that destroys the other team. And I tended to only “see” other teams runs in games. Anytime a team goes on a mini-run, they look pretty good for that stretch. I gotta admit, I’m digging on this years squad for the runs they put together. I see a lot of Bill’s 2012 team in this team and because of that I can’t help but feel good going into the tourney.

The negativity is killing me.

The good news for Texas fans - since the Leanhorns scored 55+ points tonight, patrons at Pluckers Wing Bar get five free wings!

@jaybate-1.0 it was his turn? Great question.

@jaybate-1.0 He’s on fire!

Hey, I’ve been listening to Gurley and Hanni on the radio and I could swear I heard the Wabash Cannonball. I thought the Mildcats claimed that song

@BShark Cool, thanks

@Fightsongwriter I like Hanni a lot. He’s very knowledgeable about all things KU - he’s not new to the area either. I used to listen to him on 1320 AM Rock Chauk Sports Talk before he took the Texas Tech job in 2012. He’s a good guy that seems to be getting better.

If this is KU playing loose with no pressure, I like what I see!

@Crimsonorblue22 Rub it in…

25 shi**y minutes

Lets hold them to single digit rebounds… Pour it on!

@globaljaybird

Unless ISU plays better defense, it’s how I see the game unfolding. But yeah Fran could vapor-lock on us if his guy looks pedestrian.

KU - 88, ISU - 66. Our threes will fall and we run them out of the gym.

I’d like to add a couple of names that get missed when we look back. Kevin Pritchard, Milt Newton, Adonis Jordan and Rex Walters deserve some props considering their contributions to FF’s and a NC. It’s going back a ways, but I’ll never forget those years.

It sure looked like Landen baited Livingston in last nights game. I think I’ve seen Landen get under the skin of opposing bigs this year and last year which is hilarious. We’re so fortunate to have such a savvy fifth year senior we can count on.

ESPN box says we’re shooting 7-14 on 3’s for 46%.

Funny!

@wissox said:

Wow, this is reminding me of 88 when Kstate sent me home sad for the first time since I was a KU student!

I hated that. I was there and it was a long quiet walk out of there to our car.

@tundrahok

I usually have to wait for the replay. It was a nice surprise for me - dedicated cable cutter.

Hey, it’s on ESPN3 and isn’t blacked out!

RED RYDER - Man we are old aren’t we?

You think you’re old? I had kids and a mortgage when that movie came out!

@jaybate-1.0 What does need explanation is why von Braun lead a team in 1967 to Antartica to retrieve a bunch of moon rock meteorites shortly before the US Apollo space program went to the moon and brought back a bunch of alleged moon rocks, most of which can no longer be found, and which turn up in places like Neil Armstrong’s closet found after his death by his wife?

Interesting. This is a story I’d never heard. Surely you’re not suggesting that the fake moon landing conspiracy theories have merit. We’ve been deceived by our government more than we know, but I don’t think I can accept that notion. I was barely nine when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon and it was magical for me at the time. The space program inspired me and my generation to embrace technology and I felt positive about our future. I’m still hanging on to that.

@JayHawkFanToo

I completely agree with what you’re saying. Maybe I should have stated that I work in KC and the group I work with most are a mix of MU, K-State and KU fans. Talking sports with these guys can be exhausting. MU fan’s perception of KU and the Big12 are similar to how K-Staters feel about KU in general. Basically a lot of hate and jealousy. It’s pretty easy to defend KU as an elite program but beyond that it can get pretty ugly and it’s not worth my time to educate them - they’re mostly football fans and know little about basketball. It’s crazy but it even turns political at times. Us Lawrentian’s ( residents of Lawrence, Ks ) are always viewed by my coworkers as liberal, hippie tree huggers. I actually try and have a little fun with that. Like I said, I love the streak and want to see us keep it going and really I wasn’t trying to rattle anyone’s cage regarding the streak or the strength of of the Big12.
