The Yergin analysis is the best I’ve read on this. Leaving oil behind for renewables and hydrogen will not be as easy as some think.

No question the new Big 12 Conference is a Power 5 conference. Last AP poll:

Cinci #3
OSU #5
Baylor #9
BYU #12
Houston #16

My guess is the new Big 12 conference will quickly establish itself as the 3rd best football conference in the nation. I think the money might be better than most expect as well. How ironic that Cinci will make the playoff, and OSU has a chance, and OU and UT are no where to be found.

On the negative side, ESPN talking heads saying that OU/UT may stay in the Big 12 longer than anticipated so they can get their houses in order before they move to the SEC. We need to get rid of those bastards or maybe just beat them into the ground the next four years.

Weird, or just me?

Self obviously said Yesufu was good today and he was impressive offensively. Great floater, ultra quick getting to the basket and he's a good shooter. However, like I've observed with his defense, Self said he could be our best on ball defender which just shoes how much Self expects from him. If he can be this for us and lock guys down in man to man defense then he will be playing starter minutes and making a huge difference for this team. He gets overlooked a little by some because of his height but Yes has a lot of talent..

Let’s all point and laugh at ou.

Also interesting in their comment sections. Some think Donald would tell Putin to pound sand....I like the one they Trump needed to wear diapers around Putin. But over all, I like this one the best...

After two decades of Putin’s rule, Russia is a country where all major media are controlled by the state; where elections are meaningless rituals with predetermined outcomes; where parliament, in the words of its own speaker, is “not a place for discussion”; where peaceful demonstrators are beaten by police; and where political opponents are imprisoned—or worse. Abroad, it has been kicked out of the G-8, faces crushing economic sanctions, and, for the first time in decades, has unrecognized international borders. It will take time and effort to undo this damage once Russia has a democratic government that respects the rights of its own people and behaves responsibly on the international stage. Sooner or later, that day will come.

So much of that is exactly what Trump was striving for in our own country.

Some of you know I’m a collector/hoarder (my wife’s word, not mine) of fitted hats. This is a new KU-themed design from Ty Mathis that is already on my Christmas list 🔥🔥🔥

Things have just been crazy over the last few days and it's really been pretty crazy to see so many coaches let go before the season was even close to being over as well.
The craziest possibility could be if Notre Dame and Cincinnati both make the playoff.
If Notre Dame lands Luke Fickell then it's VERY likely that Marcus Freeman goes back to Cincinnati as the head coach there.
So, could we see two coaches switching schools and possibly leading another team in the playoffs? Both are very familiar with one another so they should be able to transition a lot more easily to the other team.
Is this something that could realistically happen? As crazy as things have gone this year, maybe it's proof that anything could happen.
All I know is that I'm just happy sitting around like this

knowing that KU has a VERY good coach in place and things are finally normal in Lawrence while going crazy elsewhere.

With all this money flying around???

Check out the uniforms in this short video. What do all you "uniform people" think? Excited to be at the game on Dec 11 this year at the Meadowlands!

LAWRENCE, Kan. – After taking a break during the 2020-21 season due to limited capacity, Kansas Athletics will once again hold the Teddy Bear Toss at Allen Fieldhouse to benefit Toys for Tots. The Teddy Bear Toss will be held during halftime of the Kansas Men’s Basketball game versus Missouri on Saturday, December 11 and again at halftime of the Kansas Women’s Basketball game versus Santa Clara on December 12.

Fans are encouraged to bring brand new teddy bears, or any plush toys, to throw onto James Naismith Court when instructed to do so during halftime. All of the teddy bears and plush toys will be collected and donated to Toys for Tots to be distributed to children in the local community. Preferred maximum height for the teddy bears is 24 inches.

In addition, donation bins will be available for other toy donations to Toys for Tots, cash donations will also be accepted inside the facility from all ticketed patrons. All donated toys should be brand new and unwrapped.

Teddy bears and other plush toys are available to purchase at your local Rally House store, including the one located on the second floor, north end, of Allen Fieldhouse.

Security measures for the men’s game versus Missouri will remain intact, as they have all season. All patrons will be asked to adhere to the clear-bag policy and enter the facility through metal detectors. If a teddy bear or plush toy sets off a metal detector it will be collected at the entrance and donated to Toys for Tots, but will not be allowed to enter Allen Fieldhouse. Once in the facility, the teddy bears cannot impede other fans’ enjoyment of the first half of play. There will be time allowed at the halftime intermission for patrons not wishing to participate in the teddy bear toss to exit to the concourse prior.

Pushed Gonzaga tonight. Led in the 2nd half and only ended up losing by 9. Not implying we should use any transitive property here but Gillispie is a damn good coach and college bball is unpredictable

Oregon getting smoked. MSU out of it.

Ohio State
UGA
Bama
and…
ND or Cincy? I don’t think either lose next week and can’t see Michigan beating Ohio State.

True or false. Could we not put the stats and a highlight film of Potter and equal anything we have seen on linebackers in the portal. Lots of these kids look good on highlights but aren’t even full time starters.

Les Miles always said you have to look at the whole game tape.

Now i‘m just using Potter as an example. He’s probably gonna beat out whoever we bring in at the beginning. I’m hoping good coaching will continue his growth. He should never of played early on.

Anyway patience in the portal. Gonna be lots of players available in next month or so.

SIAP.

In case you missed the story, during the St. Louis protests an undercover black cop who had not violated any laws was pinned to the ground by cops and ruthlessly beaten. The offending cop who actively beat the man was sentenced to only 4 years. The cop who pinned him down, live streamed his actions, has numerous racist comments, and bragged about beating people at the protest got 1 year and 1 day - half what even defense attorneys asked.

We need serious police reform in the county.

Leaves them with little experience behind Vaughn. Wonder if they look JUCO or portal for someone.

I really thought they were making a push this weekend to get Matt Campbell. I really thought there was a chance he was leaving Iowa State for that job

@JK any rumors/rumblings around Prunty coming back.

Looking at the $$$$ being thrown around by Texas A&M, LSU, USC and Michigan State, top college jobs are paying equal or more to most NFL head coaching gigs. Got to think NFL HCs will be using the Fisher, Kelly, Riley and Tucker numbers as negotiating leverage or even start taking college jobs. If OU is willing to give Kingsbury a significant pay bump, why wouldn’t he leave AZ? Same with ND. If the $$$ are there, coaches will take college jobs.
