Congrats Lady Jayhawks for a well earned victory and a trip to the Final Four…hopefully the basketball team can match the feat and make us even happier fans.

Ok, let me introduce you to first row. http://firstrowsportes.eu/ It has all kinds of sports…every pro football game…every bb game, and it does have a tab for volleyball in their “other sports” section. How to use it: Find the game you want, and click on it. Below it, you will see Link 1, link 2, etc. Right click link 2, and open in a new tab. You will see 3 pop ups block the screen: the first one says :close ads". Click on that - it will open a new tab. Go to that new tab, and click the very small x on the remaining pop up that is on the far right. then click the last popup, and there is your game.

@blackmild33 Yes, it looks like one guy switched his pick from KU to Duke…I believe that he had originally picked Alabama for Bolden before switching to KU a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully it is just an isolated hunch and not inside info.

Think the NCAA will blame the slow response to Self’s recent beat down on a slow postal carrier?..figured we would hear something today. Maybe not a decision but an acknowledgement or a warning shot across the bow…something!

Ned has a world series Not to mention two AL One is a popularity contest and subjective. The other is indisputable and empirical.

Seeing as the college semester is 2/3rds of the way over why don’t they just look at his friggin current grades to see if he’s a worthy college student? Unless he’s taking Advanced Game Boy, Principals of Fast Food, Science of Worldstar Hiphop Fights, and Grammar of Instagram, it seems like this ought to be a good way to prove his merits as a one year rent a player.

@SoftballDad2011 One of these days he’ll be saying “Hey, as a freshman, you’re learning. As a sophomore, you’re stubborn. If you’re a junior or a senior you should be on another team because all of the kids that age have already left Lawrence for the NBA”.

jayHawkfan very true they played very poor through the contest. felt they were in a little bit of awe, intimidated. just shows how far we have to go to reach Texas or any others of that level yet. still a great season but we hit like 1.59 for the match, normal is like 3.59 I believe. 9 service errors 4 or 5 hitting errors just bad sets, and set ups. I think where the match REALLY got away was in the 2nd set. we jumped out to a 5-0 lead and then 16-12 and from that point was outscored 13-3 the rest of 2nd set. I agree with you and hopefully for this re-match maybe we could move it to Allen, get more fans we played before 4,000 last night that’s a lot so ya behind you 100% with this idea, the announcers from Texas were saying the re-match would be loud , hot and full but its only 1,500 hopefully we get them on the re-match just have work to do. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@SoftballDad2011 " Here’s the signal for the next play Wayne "

My prediction of the hour…KU with the lead on Diallo and Duke with the lead on Ingram…but it could change in the next 15 minutes. I understand that Ingram will announce in 1 week from today.

@Crimsonorblue22 I think that was the point. Diallo can’t play for us in the WUG’s so he might be less likely to sign with KU.

Sima signs w/ St. John’s http://247sports.com/Bolt/St-Johns-lands-a-big-man-36767767 Hopefully that will push Diallo our way!

@Statmachine 247 has their own ratings, but what is most followed is their composite of all ratings - aggregate something like 30 or 40. Some probably follow the AAU circuit closely, others probably are, as you say, clowns. But the wisdom of the crowds usually has some merit. Also important to track is the trend - a lot of the predictions are very stale - the more recent ones might have a touch more validity. Brown’s statement that he would only go to an Adidas school was recent - just guessing that many of the predictions predated that. Trending is that Brown will end up at UCLA - but who really knows. Diallo was trending to SJU post Mullins hire and his hire of the ISU assistant who was recruiting him.

@truehawk93 I agreed. Without sounding like a sore loser, I found it hard to believe that in a non-free market (all scholarships are the same and rules are governed by NCAA), such congregration of OADs is feasible. What intangibles are UK selling that are so good? Posh Housing? NBA Lottery Picks Track Records? If it is NBA Lottery Picks Track Records, then, all 2015 Class should come to Lawrence. I get it when you are Google, Apple, Microsoft, you get all the talents you want.

@truehawk93 Pretty bad when my typo is the humor…

@truehawk93 Larry Brown called…he says the refs do decide games

@truehawk93 Duke is a touch young, too. But of all the teams I’ve seen this season, I think Duke is the second best behind UK. Balanced, great inside out game. Flexible on defense. I can’t stand Duke, but it’s hard to deny how good they are. Though if KU isn’t in it, I’ll definitely root for Wisconsin.

@Crimsonorblue22 Born and raised in Hutch. Spent almost my whole life in Hutch except when I was in Lawrence.

BG is not playing because of being irresponsible. Selden questionable, ankle and was sick fri. When will BG learn?
