KU WINS GOLD
-
Which goes to show that you can never over-estimate the ignorance of the average Kentucky fan.
-
The Smiling photo of the team with Mason checking to see if it was real gold is fantastic. My new screen saver. Who is the young girl on the podium with them? Devonte has a medal! Good. Self with his arm around Tyler with huge smiles. A Father/Son moment for the ages.
Bragg and Vick - Welcome to the team.
Hunter and Landon - Welcome to the team.
Frank Mason - I would not trade him for any other NCAA Guard in the country.
Wayne Selden - Welcome to the NBA.
Perry Ellis - Thank you for playing your heart out, even though you are double and tripled teamed on every play. You reached deep to help get the gold, even when your shot wasn’t falling and no air left in your lungs. You will still be our leading scorer this year.
Jamari - Thank you for subbing during crunch time when you do what you do best in guarding the outside big men.
Nic and Julian - Thank you for leaving your two great coaches to become Jayhawks. We could not have won this without either of you.
Tyler and Evan - Thank you for coming in and playing more minutes than you’ve played in a long time and allowing Frank, Wayne and Perry to sit for the fourth quarter against the Swiss.
Bill Self - Thank you for being the best coach in the country for your ability to adjust on the fly and create an incredible bonding experience for these young men.
Snacks - Thank you for playing the piano.

@wrwlumpy Klein was a punk! Nic did NOT back down either. Loved his fight!
-
@RockChalkinTexas love the new avi!!

-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wanted to nab it before anyone else did.
Frank da Man!

Lost in all the excitement…did anyone notice that the Pool group A, where Germany played, had only 5 teams instead of the 6 teams all other pools had and they had to play only 4 games instead of 5 games in the initial round? KUSA ended playing 8 games and Germany only 7, no wonder the good guys were more tired than the Germans…
-
@JayHawkFanToo I did see that at the outset and wondered if there had been a 6th team that did not make it there for unknown reasons.
I’m having a hard time working!!!
-
Wonder what the guys will do w/their new doll?
-
@RockChalkinTexas No wonder Germany was so fresh. Only 4 games in pool play and a cake walk to the final game compared to ours.
-
@wrwlumpy I had the same question in the game thread. Saw 2 girls during several games that were helping with water and towels and were wearing KU shirts. Wondered if they were translators provided by the WUG or if we had Korean students at KU that were recruited to help.
-
@brooksmd Somewhere I read they were “Ambassadors.”
-
@JayHawkFanToo Still ate their Weiner schnitzel…
-
Here are a few figure for your enjoyment…
KUSA pool is the only one that sent 2 teams to the Fina Four.
KUSA beat all 3 other teams in the Final Four
KUSA beat 5 other 7 other teams in the Final Eight (Canada twice before the games)
No question that KUSA was the best team at the the WUG.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 In @Crimsonorblue22 words “EWWWWWWWWWWW”.
-
@RockChalkinTexas …Well, back to the tractor… “EWWWWWWWWWWW”.
-
@globaljaybird Couldn’t resist the temptation over on that UK board. Somebody said “guess it was a good thing there were no mid-majors in the tournament.” I added, “like Robert Morris?”
-
@globaljaybird always has a way w/words!
-
@RockChalkinTexas Thanks
-
@Crimsonorblue22 we give it our optimum effort…LOL
-
@brooksmd awesome!
-
@brooksmd shame on you…
-
@globaljaybird I know but it was just one of those open doors you have to walk through when given the chance.
-
Well another 45 minutes on the mower for the back and that is it for the day.
-
@brooksmd drink water!
-
@brooksmd c’mon over - I got at least 6 gal of paint left…
-
@brooksmd Now that’s W_A_T_E_R Gramps… not the clear stuff in the fruit jar…

-
@HawkInMizery Well of course they forgot! They are inbred idiots with genetically dehanced brain functions.
-
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 KU is going to beat that @$$ when UK comes to AFH. Mark it down, circle it, sharpie too.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 NICE!
-
@Lulufulu just first half. Do u have espn watch app?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Nope, and unfortunately I had to down grade my cable due to cost cutting.
-
@Lulufulu do u have any friends that have it? I’m sure there’s a way to get the game, that’s all I know.
-
Skal Labissiere has yet to be cleared by the NCAA and there are many coaches who originally recruited him that backed off because they believed he will never play college ball. We will soon find out.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Kind of short on KU fans where I live… Oh well. Thanks for the link! That was great!

KU basketball team will be welcomed home at 7 p.m. Wednesday: http://cjon.co/1M6WXj9

@Statmachine Bet that Gold Medal comes out on Late Night as does the 11 straight conf. champ trophies.
KU is going to be so tough to beat this season. They have a jump on everyone else with the new rules and all the practice they are getting.One question. That was an epic game won by KU, even more so considering they had just beaten a very good Russian team less than a day earlier!
How do the Russian and German teams we just played compare to the teams we will be playing next season during the non conf and big 12 conf games?
