  I will try to keep my mouth shut when my so-called k-state friends say “what about them chicken hawks?”

  The all-knowing Coach Self knew that Toledo had a weak schedule and would be unbeaten coming to AFH, where they would get a lesson about the magic of the Cathedral of basketball.

  Just a thought: Can Oubre play the #2? Turner, Alexander, Perry, Oubre, Naadir next year. That would be a big, gnarly crew.

  I can see Oerter’s image preserved forever in the Memorial Stadium museum… hopefully… someday. @drgnslayr This would be great… but if not there, then do it at the new Rock Chalk Park track & field facilities that are being built.

  @brooksmd haha, nice brooks In all honesty, I’m in family vacation mode right now, so I’m just here to make merry with my fellow board rats until things get a little back to normal with my days, but I appreciate the input @jaybate. I worry that I’m missing something sometimes that’s detracting from the experience of the board, I’d rather know everything people have going on and do what I can to grease the wheels.

  Twas the night before christmas and all through kubuckets many new topics, I wondered what it might be. And to my wondering eye it appeared, Jaybate is here. The unforeseen consequences of our most valuable Jayhawk @approxinfinity’s grand experiment is the appearance of one, I won’t risk blasphemy, one Jaybate to add to our growing list of expert opinionators. We all knew he couldn’t stay away. We all knew of the siren song of Jayhawk talk without malice would slowly lure us to our new addiction. Or I could say welcome JB! Geez, what a brown-noser. Like you’re the only jayhawk down here in da bayou. lol (beer)

  @JayHawkFanToo I’d guess it was someone that was looking to make the Associations some more $$$, because they need that.

  @Kip_McSmithers Bleacher Report is trying to sell advertising. They write articles with provocative titles that aren’t worth a plug nickel for content.

  @wrwlumpy Living in Austin I was at the game last year (and every game played here in the last 10 years) when there were a good many KU fans and that helped in their comeback. We were louder than UT fans at times. I see the same thing happening this year if not more fans. UT has had dismal showing of fans (until Mich. State). They are advertising $5 tickets for their game next Monday, which is also the Alamo Bowl with UT/Oregon. The thing about UT is that Barnes is not really a game day coach and ALWAYS subs out the one or two guys that are doing something to put in his pet - this year that pet is Javan Felix. We have the bench this year to get past a lot of those that get themselves in foul trouble.

  Paul is definitely one of my all-time favs. I just hope he knows the right time to leave the game. He’s had a phenomenal career and it’s best to go out on a high note.

  @lighthawk Lindsay Nelson & Chris Schenkel were my 2 fav sportscasters as a kid. But the one guy I’ll probably miss most going forward to BG 12 coverage this season is Fred White. Fred was from Kansas & still was professional enough to not let his love of KU, KSU. Wichita, PSU, or any other school show his preferences & get in the way of the beauty of his skills. Very similar to Oswego’s Ted Watts painting Heisman portraits for the CFBHOF, Kansas University murals & compositions, or his diverse Big 8 panoramas. Fred was an exceptionally exciting & descriptive P/P guy no matter if he were calling baseball, basketball, or tiddlywinks. IMO the old school broadcasters that served their apprenticeships differently & modeled their craft by doing radio for years prior are just a cut above in their skills versus the “personalities” (egos) created by todays television & online media. TV news has such goofy & dramatic acting journalists, I find very little impartial reporting left anywhere, and especially at the local levels, & the worst being what I enjoy viewing most of all… live sports.

  @REHawk Is Oakville finally here? Well, the full version of @JayBate was released just in time for Christmas. Can we at least have a glimpse of Oakville Beta 2?
