We just watched Missouri get pounded for cooperating and going about the process the way the NCAA wants you to. That as much as anything prompted KU’s general attitude of “fuck off”. If this were a court of law, KU would cruise, given what’s in the FBI case. It’s not a court of law, so we’ll see.

I guess I'm a 3.5...I'm not keg standing at a football tailgate but since Austin "reopened" I've had a meal/beer with a buddy (no mask) while generally being far apart and paying more attention to hygiene than I would have in January. -
I'm sure variations of this have happened in the last month for a bunch of you, but Saturday night the Chiefs/Texans playoff game was re-airing and was on the living room TV. I was in and out with shit on the grill, not paying much attention but wife and son were watching. I walk by with the Chiefs down 24-0 with the ball. Me: We're gonna need Patrick Mahomes to be Superman here Son: Yeah, need some points to get back in the game Wife: Is this a replay?

You will probably be refunded, that's what most places I'm aware of have in their rules, but you'll have to check the specifics of the book you used.

The order reads like it's open as long as you maintain the 6ft social distancing requirement.

Hey that sanitizer stuff is cold. I’m not normally like this, I swear.

Even if you moved assembly, what's the list of internal components that are manufactured anywhere other than China? The processor and...?

Right, but we’re testing more ANd the virus is spreading, so it’s hard to say how much the contribution is from each. We’re still not an incubation period away from when we got serious about doing something. I don’t think the death rate lowers for another week or two, and it could still accelerate in the meantime as the problem has gotten more widespread.
-
Sick people or deaths is probably a lagging indicator, but if the explosion of positives due to higher testing doesn't manifest in a higher body count oner the next week - 10 days, that's probably very positive.
-
I had them also...think I laid like -200. Jumped in relatively late in the season. If the NBA doesn’t play 82 games it’s going to cost me money. I have the Jazz over at -105 that was looking dicey, even before all their players were dying...but I also have a Nets under at +150 that is solid. Shortened season would have both refunded.
-
I could probably bat a pretty high percentage on final fours and work backward, and I’d imagine I’d remember a good chunk of the big upsets...but yeah, I’d still miss a ton of games. If they don’t make the 2nd weekend, who remembers 8/9 and 7/10 winners, for example.
-
I do. I'm currently sweating the shit out of a Utah Jazz over.
-
I know Craig a little bit. Professionally, the highest compliment I can pay him is if I’m road tripping and Texas is playing KU in anything...I’ll listen to his call of the game.
-
Braum’s was my first job, and I’d still eat it when I went back after I moved away. It fell off a cliff in the early 00s. I’m assuming they had to slash costs at some point...it’s nowhere near what it was.
-
I don’t even think that’s a bubble team, that’s comfortably in.
-
After the loss in Austin last night, West Virginia is 2-19 in its last 21 Big 12 road games. Is that bad? It sounds bad.

I’m in.

Jhawk’s memory is too harsh, but the answer is somewhere in the middle. He built a good team the year of the E8 but in other seasons he generally had mediocre teams that struggled against the top half of the conference, including 1-9 against KU (only pros to speak of were freshmen). Mizzou fans were getting really anxious and his seat was getting warm, so he jumped at getting out of there. What Haith did with the leftovers in his first year didn’t help the view of Anderson in hindsight. On the old board, I was one of the guys saying Shaka shouldn’t run havoc at Texas if the goal is being better than Barnes was, and I used Anderson’s top/bottom conference record splits to explain my reasoning...teams with decent guards had mostly figured it out.

Whataburger spicy ketchup >>>>> tomato.

I would wait for the season to play out. Texas Tech's DE rating improved during their tournament run by more than KU's current edge on Baylor. There is a lot of basketball left before we start bestowing historical greatness on anybody.
-
KU switched the structural philosophy, so she went from reporting to Bill Self to reporting to somebody in the medical school. The football guy left, too.
-
To be technical, you can’t compare the raw number across seasons, because it’s a strength of schedule adjusted number. The proper metric would be the difference between national efficiency average and a team’s number...and by that method Tech last year is better. That might be splitting hairs a little, but people all over the Phog are making the same mistake. As of this morning, the Big 12 is 1,2,3 in KenPom’s DE.

The game in Waco is a virtual coin flip, is a huge game, and obviously skews the numbers a ton...but I do think KenPom having KU a little higher rated than Baylor and Baylor's remaining schedule being harder explains the projected tie even though Baylor currently has the one game lead. I would still call it Baylor's to lose. They get KU at home in a game they'll be small favorites in...win that one and the path to even a tie for KU is tough.
