  @BShark shoot I’ve copied and pasted from guys/gals over there before. I’ve taken some time off because it was such a disaster most of us saw coming post January I want to know about more to the Utah story that’s been hinted at. What’s the down low on that because I know what was leaked about D2 being the “peacemaker” is comical knowing the squad and how things played out That clearly is the KU staff feeding people…I want Mayo and co’s perspective and this “you’ll never believe it” crap that the dude has mentioned Coaching wise I 100% agree with the three M’s the guy has stayed and have put that down here similarly….so see where you’d think that

  @approxinfinity Pretty sure it was just Wheaties. They are pretty sticky when you mix them with Mississippi River water. At the right consistency they’ll hold together for quite a while. I actually prefer worms though for bottom fishing… they will stay on the hook forever, so it’s pretty relaxing. Plus, you might nab a catfish, drum or gar instead of a carp, depending on the body of water…

  Felt like Bill Self WAS KU Athletics for a good stretch. Back when we sucked at other sports. He was always calm and well spoken and reasonable in a time where other larger than life coaches seemed like ungracious turds. Was easy to put all our faith in Self for a long time. Even when the recruiting violations landed, it felt like Self and us against the world. Other big programs doing the exact same shit and getting off scot free. Bill and KU Bball were one and the same for a long time. So, it’s hard to not think about things in that context, I get it. But Bill himself said “you need to look at things in 5 year chunks, maybe less than that now”. And that’s a 2 way street. How he’s seeing the job, and how the job (and us) are seeing him.

  A lot of fundraising left to do. Endowment stepped up big to make Phase I happen but that is not the plan for Phase II. Call me a skeptic on how Phase II pans out. Going to be heavily dependent on how the team performs. Not fair to the team and coaches, but it’s the truth.

  @kjayhawks Oh it’s definitely not Self…he has some philosophy faults but it’s by far the players that are the issue

  I’m disappointed but I don’t begrudge Kevin. He did a lot for this team and for the program the past two years. The hardest part of this for me is the lingering “what if?” What if he was still playing? What would our record have been with him? If Kevin wasn’t so good and so important, it simply wouldn’t hurt so much. We would have missed Kevin at the conclusion of the season no matter what. But, the fact that he played his last game early is where the extra pain comes from. Personally, I thank him for coming to KU and giving us some big wins and amazing memories.

  @Crimsonorblue22 Good point. Didn’t impact them nearly as much as I expected last Saturday when they held TCU off late for the road win. Gilbert, their other small guard starter has slid over to the PG spot and was a big issue for TCU. Harris is absolutely a key on Saturday and he needs to play a lot better then he did last year in Ames. Team scored 53 last year there, Wilson had 26 of them. Wonder if Self is going to remind them of that debacle

  why are we even still talking about this guy. He is no longer part of the KU culture , he is gone from here that’s the only good thing about this kid. He sure sounds like he committed a crime, and in the end after due process will get what’s coming to him, he is not worth the time of day - - for sure someone we didn’t need lurking around the campus

  Looks like he got into a fight/brawl at Tubby’s sports bar in Aggieville. - -Coach Tang said he has suspended him indefinitely. Tang says that even though he is not with the team, he will continue to be part of the family. They will help him through this process any way they can. Some think there is more then this , he didn’t show for media days and did not go to their secret scrimmage. -Man , as the plot thickens.

  @FarmerJayhawk said in IARP Case Moving: @mayjay it was very shady. Difference being KU held Silvio out until the NCAA cleared him (ditto Billy Preston). Memphis knew at minimum the whole thing was sketch and under investigation, yet played Rose anyway. Yea, that sums it up for me. I don’t recall the Rose situation in great detail anymore. Nor the Silvio signing details. But, holding Silvio out seemed by the book on the surface. The rest of it is sketchy as hell.
