Filling time - Jerome Tang

Having been involved in tv production and play-by-play back in the day, I get that crews will have stories and anecdotes they save for lopsided games.

That being said, KU is up 30 on a top-10 team and we’re presented with about 5 solid minutes of Jerome Tang’s road to lead assistant.

There are a number of storylines they could have explored, that seemed like an odd one.

Anyway, great win.

National RNC censures Kinzinger and Cheney for participating with 1/6 Committee

Let that sink in for a moment. On January 6th, we had an attempted coup against the US. The insurrectionists were eagerly chanting about assassinating elected officials and leaders, including the VP. There was support from inside the White House.

The 1/6 committee is trying to get at what happened, how did it happen, and who was involved.

And Republicans don't want that, and for the first time in its history are publicly censuring sitting members. Both parties have skeletons in their closet, but never has the GOP censured an incumbent until they looked into the most violent action to hit the Capital since 1812. Not after Watergate or Iran Contra or any other scandals did they censure an incumbent. But they are for an attempted coup on the nation.

For anyone who wants to see a strong and vibrant United States, it is no longer defensible to be Republican, or to ever vote for a Republican. Pulling the lever for Moran because you like his ideas or views, is pulling the lever for someone who is aiding and abetting the violent overthrow of the US government.

Anyone who thinks this is hyperbole is as delusional as Collins when she said she thought Trump had learned his lesson. There is no other reading of this. Either you don't care about the US, and only care about Republicans in power - valid position - or you don't understand the connections between the GOP and the coup (or you are voting for a Cheney or Kinzinger type). Those are the only reasons to ever vote for the GOP at this point.

PSA: Get on Twitter!

For those that aren't - Get on twitter, follow all our players and coaches, follow every kid that we offer, like/retweet their KU posts, comment on them and show them a little support. There is an engagement gap between rival fanbases and ours, in terms of love that kids get on Twitter when they tweet offers, letters, pics from KU Football. This really does matter.

I know some of you aren't into it, but Twitter is the official speech platform now. The President of the United States communicates with us here.

Its very easy. To get started, follow these 4 accounts, and they will lead you to more KU football accounts for coaches, players, recruits, and other fans like ourselves. Follow all of them, show support, and just have fun with it! Get your other KU Football friends to join as well, if they haven't already.

BILL SELF MET WITH THE MEDIA ON FRIDAY: WHAT STOOD OUT?

On Friday afternoon, Bill Self conducted his weekly press conference in Lawrence to preview the Baylor game and much more.

-- Self said that Baylor has obviously been the standard in the league last year and, at least so far, this year as well. Self believes that Baylor has had the best year of anybody in the league so far. Self said that Kansas is looking forward to Baylor coming to AFH on Saturday, and he believes Baylor is really looking forward to the game as well. He added that it will be a big game and will probably have a lot to do with the conference standings, at least through the midway point of the season.

-- Self said that Ochai Agbaji tested negative today and he's out of the COVID protocol. As long as he feels up to it, which Self expects to be the case, Agbaji will participate moving forward. Self is excited about this development, obviously, as well as his teammates. Self also said that KU has practice at 3:00 today and he expects Agbaji to participate.

-- Self said that Jalen Coleman-Lands will play, but added that he fell on both wrists against Iowa State. Self said he took off at full speed from 16 feet out and tried to run over a 7 footer that weighs about 260 or 270. Self said it wasn't the brightest play and when he landed, he landed on both wrists. Self also said that his left wrist got nicked up a little bit more than his right one. Coleman-Lands might not be 100%, but he's capable of playing.

-- It sounds like Joseph Yesufu is going to get some minutes moving forward. If Remy Martin were 100% healthy, things might be different, but that's not the case. Self said that some guys are just gamers and might not always practice well or stand out in practice, but when called on during a game, are just ready to answer the call. Self also said there are times when the games feel so much different than practice from a stress and pressure standpoint, that you don't actually look the same. Self believes that Joe is a little bit of both.

-- Kyle Cuffe is not out of the protocol yet. Self is hoping that happens soon. Self said he's still having a few symptoms.

-- Nothing really new to report on Remy Martin, according to Self. The goal was to give him an extended period of time, which is still the case. Self said he would rather have Remy at 90-95% than at 60-65%. Self hopes Martin can get to 100% this season. He's got a bruise and it is sore, but he's making positive progress. Self also said that Remy is not part of practice right now. Most of the time, in terms of when practice is taking place, Remy is at rehab and not on the practice court with the team.

-- Zach Clemence, according to Self, is also still a no-go. The feel is that Zach is getting closer, but even though it's a crack or whatever it is, according to Self, it's still a fracture and four-to-six weeks for it to heal. Self said this is finishing up the 4th week, so there is a belief that Zach is getting closer. Zach said he's real close to being out on the court at full speed.
