Saw a tweet from Arkansas that said KU is 1-5 against top 25 teams this year and that Arkansas is 4-0 vs top 25.
Is 1-5 accurate?

I have been with Adilyn in SLC since Monday afternoon. My wife’s due date wasn’t until the end of the month, but baby had other plans. Flew back to Hays this afternoon and just got to the hospital. More T’s & P’s needed for mom, baby, and continued for Adilyn who will need a bone marrow transplant in a couple months. The last three weeks have been insane.

Biden to speechwriters, “Well, I hope you all came up with a lot of positives that I can read from my teleprompter.”

“Sir, we’ve been trying for weeks, but there are no positives whatsoever in your first year. Zero. You couldn’t have failed any more miserably if you had tried.
This is our game plan— you’re going to do as Democrat presidents always do— lie your a** off. You’re also going to talk about Russia from start to finish—anything to deflect away from what a piece-of-crap you’ve been as president.”

“Do you think the American people will buy it?”

“The Democrat dummies will believe anything. They voted for you, a complete moron, didn’t they? The problem is that you’re so historically awful that you’re even losing many of those dummies to the GOP. And then there are the 80% of thinking Americans who’ve always known what a laughing stock you are. You have no chance with them.”

“Jill, I want to go back to my basement! Jill!! Jill, where are you? Jill!!!”

Name an opposing player you were at a KU football game for that you remember being unstoppable or didn’t realize you were seeing a great unfold. There are obvious ones like Barry Sanders but interested what names pop up.

I remember seeing DeShaun Foster with
UCLA in 2001, he was close to 200 yards that day but man he was so smooth at RB.

I am posting here because I would like my seats to go to a Jayhawk fan. I have two center section seat backs. Row 15 plus parking pass. Want 425.00 for them

OU scored 53.

A real slugfest.

Only scored 36 points tonight in losing to OSU. 36? wow.

Good old fashioned ass kicking. What a way to
start March. No confidence in this team
moving forward. TCU made us look like little bitches. They were WAY more physical.

There’s just no other word for it. The way we got out worked tonight. Total embarrassment.

The only two thing he got across in his diatribe were that Europe as a whole has few countries that will stand with us other than talk, and that the USA we just use more sanctions as Russia continues along its present path. Rhetoric versus troop movements. We have all kinds of verbal support. I truly pray that Biden and advisors make the right choices for The USA and our allies for not only this present problem with Russia and the future military problems with Russia and China. One other facet is how we treat those European countries that do not really do their fair share as members of NATO. Being a member the the "free world" comes with hefty dues. Biden is old enough to understand the horrors of war, and while I think he has a lot of warts, I really hope he looks at this from all perspectives. This is really not the time for the pettiness we have seen from the left and right. All of us have a big stake in this issue as well as the yet to come re=taking of Taiwan by China. Also my prayers to out to those troops that have already been sent into harms way. God bless airborne troops on the ground over there.

Looks like this morning we offered, I’m assuming a walk-on. From Topeka High. 1,605 All-Purpose Yards and 18 TD’s this past season. Would be a good instate walk-on pickup

We are all hopeful about the talent next year but is the point guard position looking any better?

After seeing Tuberville's comments it got me to thinking: if I were to hold a fantasy Congressional draft for elected officials who are going to be the most crazy and/or stupid in the next 2 years, what would the top ten list be and what would their position be in the draft?

My initial pass:

1. Taylor Greene - she's got it all. Defiance, stupidity, craziness, Trump's support. She is really the unquestioned # 1 - she is an injury risk, though (removed from positions);
2. Gaetz - Stupid and a lapdog for Trump so he's willing to do dumbass stuff like fly to WY to whine about Cheney. Solid #2, could be a #1.;
3. Boebert - She's got all the tools for being the best player in this draft, but has recently been overshadowed by #1 and 2. No one would fault you for taking her #1;
4. Jordan - Loud, Trumpie, and loves the cameras. Will get a lot of press.;
5. Hawley - Simply won't back down. Is going to let everyone know he is a Trumpie and I see him being the most stalwart anti-good governance Senator;
6. Cawthorne - He'll likely rise by the next election as he's keeping a quiet profile right now, but has all the tools including an open interest in Hitler;
7. Mo Brooks - Rallied the insurrectionists, from a safe district where he needs to be crazy, and loves hyperbole;
8. Tuberville - Just outright unpolished and dumb. Won't ever win a game for you, but is definitely putting up consistent 'stupid' points;
9. Gosar - Even his own family hated him in the election. He's got a lot of potential.
10. Gohmert - Been being crazy for a while, recently sued to overturn Biden's win. **** this guy.

Who needs to be on that list, and where am I wrong?

Seriously? Is this guy for real?

Serious NIL money will only go to the big players. Those big players before NIL were only going to big schools anyways. Now they just get paid to help their decision. All the big schools will get their fair share (this is speaking football and basketball).

The rest of NIL money, I mean, how serious can it really be for the rest of the roster? How many NFL players or NBA players on a roster get serious money from anything outside of their contract? Not many, I imagine. So why is there so much concern that money will be distributed in big ways across college rosters? I don’t think the money for the “fill the roster” type players will be so much different amongst schools that it makes their decision be solely on that and not everything else that goes into recruiting.

And as it’s been proven already, even for the huge players, the businesses dumping NIL money for players can see diminishing returns. Spencer Rattler namely.

Just my two cents almost a year after it’s come into play. Maybe I’m an optimist.

On Tuesday night, No. 6 Kansas (23-6; 12-4) lost at TCU (19-9; 8-8), 74-64. Four players, Jalen Wilson (13), Ochai Agbaji (13), David McCormack (11), and Christian Braun (10) scored in double-figures for the Jayhawks on a night when Bill Self's squad led for just 8:41. I just finished up watching the game for the second time and I got the same feeling this morning that I got last night while watching the game live. There was just never a feeling that Kansas was going to find a way to win the game in the second half. For a variety of reasons, the Jayhawks simply couldn’t get over the hump in Fort Worth.

Now, I think we all agree that this is a talented Kansas team, but it's not the type of talent that allows them to play through a ton of mistakes and still emerge victorious. When this team is clicking all on cylinders and when shots are falling and when they are dominating the glass and taking care of the basketball, this team is capable of beating any team in college basketball.

However, when this team struggles to score and doesn’t rebound and doesn’t take care of the basketball and doesn’t defend, this team is capable of losing to any team in college basketball.

Kansas, not long ago, was in a great position to win the Big 12 regular-season championship outright, but that’s no longer the case. Assuming Baylor takes care of business at home against Iowa State on Saturday, Kansas MUST win its next two games to earn at least a share of the Big 12 regular-season championship.

Kansas returns home to face TCU on Thursday and will wrap up the regular season at home against Texas on Saturday. At this stage in the season, and the season is near its end, at least the regular season, this team is what it is.

“Oh, I thought that they were dominant as far as the way they rebounded the ball and we didn't at all,” said Kansas head coach Bill Self late on Tuesday night. “They were so much more athletic and quicker to it and you know they got 30/70 balls. I mean we were so slow in reacting and it’s disappointing to watch, but they were really aggressive and give them credit, they kept balls alive and certainly did a much better job on the offensive glass than we did on the defensive glass.

“I don't know, what, we get 20 defensive rebounds and they got 19 offensive rebounds, something like that? So that's obviously a formula for disaster,” he added.

Moving forward, I really don’t see many changes taking place this season. The guys that have played a majority of the minutes will continue to receive those minutes. That’s the way this entire season has played out and I don’t expect that to change.

With the most important part of the season right around the corner, this team simply can’t afford any letdowns the last two games of the season and during the Big 12/NCAA Tournament. I might be alone in this, but I didn’t see much energy or passion or excitement or enthusiasm last night. Truthfully, I really didn’t see anything of those things.

I saw TCU draw first blood and, this is just me, I think that kind of shook Kansas and they didn’t know how to respond. Ochai Agbaji had an off night from the field, Braun was just 4-of-11 shooting the ball, McCormack got, what, six touches in the paint, and Wilson struggled to score the ball as well.

Still, even with all of that being said, Kansas had a chance, even though it didn’t always feel like that was the case, to steal one on the road. However, they just couldn’t get any stops and failed to grab key rebounds in the second half.

“I didn't think we were willing passers tonight,” said Self. “When the other team plays good defense and they spread you, you’ve got to execute your stuff. And we didn't do that at all. We were really out of sync. I really thought that Ochai, he pressed tonight, and he probably had his worst game that he's had this year, but he played the way we're supposed to play.

“And I didn't think very, very many others really did tonight,” he added. “We were collectively not a very good unit today, so you can always win, you know, lose games when individuals don't play as well as you need them to play. But this was a game where I think everybody played a pretty good role in it.”

Not much, if any, went KU’s way on Tuesday night. The Jayhawks had a golden opportunity to inch one step closer to winning the Big 12 regular-season championship outright, but the best they can do now, unless Baylor slips up at home, is earn a share.

Kansas really needs to come out these next two games and set the tone for the Big 12/NCAA Tournament. This team has every opportunity to make a deep run in March, but this team has very little margin for error.

Each and every night, these guys need to come prepared to play and bring the intensity on both sides of the court. For Kansas, the most important part of the season begins on Thursday night.

The rematch between Kansas and TCU will take place in Lawrence on Thursday. How do the Jayhawks finish with a more favorable outcome the second time around?

“Well, I mean, you’ve got to rebound the ball and got to play better than what we played today,” said Self. “But I think we will play better than what we played today, but got to do something to make them play poorly. And we didn't do anything to make them play poorly. We let them play to their strengths and we can't, we we're not talented enough or good enough to let a team that is so good that can steal points on the glass, steal points on the glass.

“I don't know how many points they got off second shots but it wasn't near as much as what it, I think it appeared to me, but it was pretty substantial,” he added.

Just to lighten the mood, who does Self send out to start against Texas on Saturday?

Dave

For the record, I like both players, I think Yes can do some nice things, but last nights box score is pretty telling. Yes got 22 minutes, not 4 minutes. He was given a good opportunity to get in rhythm. He shot 25% from three (1-4), missed both of his free throws, had one rebound, one assist, one turnover, and three fouls. At least one of those fouls was a lazy defense foul. Assist to TO ratio = 1.0.

Harris' line: 40% from three (2-5), 75% on twos (3-4), did not take a FT, one rebound, five assists, two steals, one turnover, two fouls in 34 minutes. Assist to TO ratio = 5.0.

I don't have a problem with Yes getting some minutes, but the argument that Harris is horrible, can't hit the three, can't score, and is a liability compared to Yes, simply is not supported by facts.

People complain Harris is too small and weak to attack the lane, yet, Yes had zero two point shots. I did not track this during the game, so maybe Yes penetrated the lane all night and just never shot, but he also only had one assist, so it is not like he was attaching and dishing. Some of the arguments against Harris on here are simply odd.
