One very fond memory actually took place in Manhattan. A long time ago. Must have been the early 90’s (it’s not even 5am, don’t feel like researching it). For some reason I was at the game by myself. We got our assses handed to us the whole game. Just played awful, so I was pretty quiet. We fought back slowly and by the last possession we were down 2, I believe. With 3 or 4 seconds left Steve Woodberry brought the ball up the court quickly and, with time running out, launched a loooong 3 point shot which he drained and we won by one point! I launched out of my seat, arms raised, double fist pump and screamed “HELL YEEEEAAAAHHH!” And everyone in the building heard me because, after Steve’s shot, it got stone cold quiet in there and apparently I was the only KU fan there that day. It was a long, tense walk to my car.

@approxinfinity Maybe. I believe that is the goal. That is the model at other schools without the rich basketball history that KU has. I just hate breaking what is working in favor of doing what everyone else is doing. It would be best to hit up different donors (build your own support) for football as opposed to over taxing those that support the basketball team.

@wissox oh, didn’t hear about her bro

Is Lexi now our first GM?

I seriously feel we have three legit teams that could make a serious run to the Championship.-- --Houston , - Texas Tech and then BYU. yes BYU. I think they are a threat. they play loose, they play fast-- love to run and thing is they let it fly and it’s not just one or two guys & they have shot a prety good % on the year. Call me crazy it’s ok But I think they could surprise some people. Really good Coach , plays good defense ya

Maybe these guys can come out now at the end of the Season and just play loose— play free, might be what they need. -Just go out and play— play free-- loose. If you go on a winning streak-- Great surprise people , let the doubters doubt. And if you lose- -you lose, nobody at this point is expecting you to do anything anyways so there you go. Just play guys- -play loose- - play free-- and dammit have some fun- -this is a game you love , your suppose to enjoy what you do , instead of having to worry about any fricken Death threats --or having racial slurs thrown at you or any of that crap from some brainless idiots- screw that.-- Just try and remember back to the time when you was out doing the thing you do love- - playing Basketball–enjoy- let fly, I mean these times are going to be the very lst time many of you are going to be that last time you ever play for KU again- -just go and tear it up - -loose guys be proud remember you play for a Blue Blood of all Blue Bloods you play for the Kansas Jay Hawks Represent guys- -and good luck.- - ROCK CHALK BABY ALL DAY LONG

This baseball team is having a great season. Playing in the semifinals tonight of the league tourney, 6:30 possible regional host as well. Saw one prognosticator having them as a 2 seed in their regional which is different than 2 seed in basketball. It’s kind of like a sweet 16 seed.

@Kcmatt7 agreed, but I honestly like the potential tournament path as a 6 seed better. I think the difference between the average 2 seed and the average 1 seed outweighs the benefits of potentially getting a 4 vs 3 seed matchup in the 2nd round. Gives one more round for the region’s 1 seed to potentially get upset before we would potentially see them too. Will be a different march for us either way as any of a 5-7 seed would be underseeded per advanced metrics and I can’t remember the last time that has happened for KU.

@kuballin10 that crap ain’t happening next year , you can take it to the bank - - - Not Happening- -more reason then not this year was because supposedly we had this stud muffin 7’2 All American that was automatic from down low , why it was through him 75 % of the time Turns out that 7’2 All world stud turned to and all nothing creme puff that thought he was Steph Curry. – They ARE NOT going to run the offense through Flory, it will be run or evolve around Darryn. The One position Bill has never had problem and players evolving is Guard position. - Wings possibly- -Bigs maybe --But NEVER had problems involving and guards developing

@kuballin10 You’ve got me there.

@kuballin10 btw found another place where people are talking about coach’s analysis of KJ, only slightly stale: https://www.reddit.com/r/jayhawks/comments/1i3zm23/bill_selfs_mystifying_analysis_of_kj_adams_the/

It could have gone the other way but it would have been a bad call, I think. We got lots of bad calls in our favor that night, but that wasn’t one of them. My opinion of course, which I dont think is biased this time

@AsadZ Hmm if Iowa St hadn’t blown a big lead against them in their matchup we’d be calling them the best team so far. A combo of those two teams have visually looked tops and probably a gap after that. Auburn’s defense isn’t as good as several but they certainly can score with the best of them. Gilbert of Iowa St is a sneaky top player that gets no recognition. I think he’s a baller. Just a solid team overall

@mayjay I’d forgot about that. Bo wasn’t the most likable person ever i admit. But he was a great coach.

@drgnslayr You have ESPN+? Our next game is on that ‘channel’.

@wissox Ah, you I know post tongue in cheek… Except when you discuss coach K, of course, whose name I believe will be your personal “Rosebud” on your lips at the end, alas never to be understood by the AI staff in 2093 in the Old Jayhawks’ Home.

Yup! This thread brought to you by Waffle House.

@bskeet Whoa, that’s when I graduated! Great year to be a Jayhawk!

@SlimShaddy54 There will always be some idiot somewhere overreacting. We good.
