Washington State wants any team to play.

.....shut down much of the basketball season.

Games are already being rescheduled or cancelled.

Come March, will the tourneys all be cancelled, much like they were in 2020?

I don't have much faith moving forward that things will play out well.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

But for now, things don't look overly promising.

Stay tuned.

I actually like the interior - looks like it could be a cool and intimidating environment. Surprised to see it's only 7k seats but sort of makes sense when they rarely fill the 10k arena they currently have.

There’s the Clyde I saw in college that was impossible to tackle

Any of you guys/gals expecting anything fun for Christmas? Kemper, my son, asked for NFL jerseys, Forza 5 (premium edition), beats by Dre (no idea why), and a few other items

Just another example of how Coach L is building the program. Control what you can control.

Three star 2023 RB Joquez Smith has a strong relationship building with Kansas' coaching staff which will lead to a visit in 2022.

Hopefully don't see many more of these

HCLL still seen as a top 5 choice for new college coach of 2021. Still hard to believe HCLL came to KU. A very solid hire.​

4. Lance Leipold, Kansas​

Last year's ranking: No. 5

Noticed on ESPN that they signed him to practice squad due to injuries and he may actually be elevated to main backup for nick foles depending on Justin Fields nagging injury condition.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a good holiday season.

Thank you for being with Jayhawk Slant.

Hey all - for the last couple of weeks, the Slant and other Rivals' sites are causing my computer to freeze up. Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions to fix this issue? TIA - I'm tired of rebooting this thing!!

Sorry if already posted
