    Biggest thumb I ever saw.

    Texas is playing a pretty great game. Isu is also the least inspired team I’ve seen in a while. If they drop a head scratcher at wvu they will lose out. Prohm could be on the hot seat next year.

    I think he proved he could coach last year and probably had a thumb on him all season. Once that loosened he started reshaping the roster and knew he could sacrifice this year to make the culture and program his. I think next year will be tough because he has a young team but the following year he’s top 4 in conference and looking really good. Then we’ll see where he wants to coach.

    Boynton is the guy. You have 2 pieces that he likes that will be culture changing and you’ll win a lot if the coach stays loyal.

    What a lapse on defense at the end there. We needed every break we got. I’d rather play any team in the league at home than go on the road against OU next game.
  6. Jhawk
    Fuck everyone. But seriously. This game has all the makings of a program changing upset. Just like when TCU best us. Of course they beat the brakes off us.

    We blow so hard. Doesn’t help that the first two shots are wild 3s.

    I 100% agree. But is your university going to be the first to be sued into oblivion for testing the limits? When the rules are a little vague you don’t risk a $10M lawsuit to find out the limits.

    That's the thing, we know for a fact that there are about 10-15 schools that have an AD to turn a profit in any given year. Further, the US government has legislated that if you give a male player something then you have to provide the same to a female athlete. So unless the US government is going to step in and cancel their "anti-discrimination" laws then you have to get creative and have strict rules. There are 3 governing bodies AND actual budgets in place that have to be worked around. The only real solution is to let players market themselves to non-school markets and if they can get a buck then they get one. If they can't then they don't. But you can't pay Zion if you aren't willing to pay the last scholarship athlete on the end of the women's tennis bench. That's how the rules are currently set.

    I stand by my argument that the conference is hot garbage. Every team is down from last year, significantly. Forget about comparing us to the rest of the country, just compare us relative to ourselves and this is the worst the conference has been in years. My inclination is to say that it is POSSIBLE that not one team from the big12 makes it past the first weekend. We aren't getting 7 in and our 6th team might be playing in the first four. Texas has a fucking tough road ahead with Baylor, ISu, Tech, TCU. OU has WVU, KU, KSU. TCU has Tech, KSU, and UT. I think UT needs 3 wins to get in, OU needs two wins (0-8 v. Q1, 3-9 v. Q2), and TCU might need two wins with their shitty schedule. I think these three teams are going to need at least one win in the big12 tourney to feel good about their NCAA hopes.

    The son of Keaton Paige will come out at 3' 9" and put up 30 on 10-12 from 3. We'll turn the ball over 45 times. GIA will have 12 people in it at tip (not including those that have to be there) and will be absolutely the loudest arena in the country by 5 minutes left in the game. Mark it 0 smokey.

    Sorry for the bitch fest. Saw my hopes and dreams crumble before my eyes this year. I should have known that was coming when I went on my rant last season back on the old site. KSU was a good win but it sucks not to be in control this late in the season. Want to talk about spoiled? Since Self came to KU we have been a 4 seed twice. His first and third year (2004 & 2006). We have two 3 seeds in 2005 & 2009. The other 11 completed years we have 8 one seeds and 3 two seeds. My dad gave me some perspective yesterday talking about his time at KU (1974-1978) saying that winning 20 games didn't happen until his senior year (19-8, 13-13, 18-10, 24-5). His formative basketball years were the Ted Owens era where they made the tournament 7 times in 19 years. Woof.

    KU's season 100% comes down to tonight's game. We'll see if this team has any heart whatsoever or if they are just going to fold like the prideless pussies our team is. I'm not going to lie or hold back, we lost our chance at an NCAA championship when doke went down and De Sousa got the ban hammer. Without the regular season championship it feels like we have nothing to play for. We don't have a chance at the big12 tourney title, and frankly after downplaying its importance in favor of the regular season crown no KU fan should act like that is a great accomplishment to win. We fucking suck and we suck because we are so damn spoiled, but we suck. I pray to god (who doesn't exist) that we beat KSU tonight and Tech takes the crown. For me, tech and ISU are the only two teams that even deserve the opportunity to win it, with ISU being the team that deserves it most with how much they have been knocking on the door. Fuck this season.

    That should give everyone hope for Beard as a big time coach. He's a good coach, but there are a lot of good coaches who get stuck in their way and refuse to evolve with their team's unique personality. Bill Self was guilty of this his first 2-3 years at KU. You could see it happen when he learned that the coach isn't always right and sometimes you have to roll with the talent you have. I know that is weird to say because a coach recruits his talent, but you can never know how a piece is going to fit with other pieces already in place. Bob Knight was his way or the highway. He won championships with it. He still won at a decent clip when the game and players changed, but he never won big again. I was starting to get down on beard, but if what you say is really a strategic change he made then great for him and his career, and tech (while they have him).
  15. Jhawk
    Well we have to win out to even have a chance. Hope we can take down KSU and if anything tech wins the conference. Such a letdown of a season.
  16. Jhawk
    Yep. Even if one or two guys go cold tech is still firing.
  17. Jhawk
    7-12.m from three. This game is over.
  18. Jhawk
    This game is terrible. KU better get it together fast.
  19. Jhawk
    Hahaha I dig the “if we make it”. Your reverse jinx isn’t limited to games, it’s for the season. I’m guessing you put isu as 0-32 next year to make sure you have a good year.
  20. Jhawk
    I’ve got $100 on tech. Not going to let them reverse jinx a victory.

    Think Vic with a smaller, less satisfying, dick. Stuck with the wobbly H while eating tortillas.

    We were fucking your mom last night.

    This is the reason I’m coming around to Shaka being fired this year. I didn’t believe because of the cost of it but fan apathy is more expensive than 12.9million. If there is a hint of apathy in the locker room you have to move on him.
  24. Jhawk
    I’m starting to believe that there is no chance in hell CDC can keep Shaka no matter what the cost. Just go get buzz and be done with it.
  25. Jhawk
    You’re so disappointed in Shaka that you’re not seeing the joke.
