Society has changed a lot less than the media brain washed people to believe. Go outside people.

I’m going to take a break from this toxic environment. Best of luck this season Jayhawk fans!

@dylans

Everything can be what we want it to be. Sports, society, everything. That requires accepting it for what it is and fulfilling the small part we can play to get us there.

That is the biggest pile of horse shit I’ve ever heard in my life. You should run for office.

@drgnslayr said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

None of us can predict the future. We’ve certainly taken hits for several things in the past decade. Maybe the biggest was conference changes.

In the end… it’s business. And what makes good business? Fans of schools being able to watch their teams and also with more attention to rival games. Slowly… things are settling down and old rivals (misery) are being scheduled again.

Where we really get screwed now is on tv packages.

What are they (ncaa) doing for the fans? This is a farce. I just wish the mob would get behind KU so they could start covering more spreads. @jaybate was right, the entire system is broken.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in 2025 Chiefs:

I was getting fired up to check the boxscore to blame penalties for the loss…but then i saw the Broncos penalties and that excuse fell out the window!

Chiefs: 10 penalties for 69 yards

Broncos: 10 penalties for 147 yards

Yes, the refs really stayed involved the entire game. Rarely did the miss an opportunity to shine. It was their moment!

Ugg just a brutal game to watch. Denver’s defense is legit.

42.7 mil over the the ‘26 cap with only 36 players signed so every dollar added goes against the cap. Next year will swing heavily depending on the draft. Veach needs another 2022 esq draft or 2026 will be brutal with all the cuts, restructures needed to clear space to retain their own free agents (McDuffie, Watson, Kelce etc), and a lack of impact free agents being affordable. Veach better hit a homerun.

Next year will be worse. The cap situation is disastrous.

One less…

@approxinfinity I have nothing to do with KU sucking at sports currently. The NCAA does have a lot to do with that. Why would I embrace losing culture?

@wissox where do they play on the KU campus?

@approxinfinity said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

@dylans im sure the next century will look a little different than the last one.

Currently circling the toilet.

A little context - Diggy is shooting 31% from 2 and 42% from 3. His effective field goal percentage is slightly lower than it was playing for KU last year (.512 vs .518). He is getting a little more than double the minutes and his stats (good and bad) have pretty much doubled as well. - I enjoyed Diggy, but if he’s getting 32.5 minutes per game something has gone wrong on the recruiting trail (Elmarko ️). I’m glad he’s getting his minutes, also glad it’s at Maryland.

Hope DP gets healthy and his handles let him play. Either way he’s gone at the end of the year, I’d like to see him play a bit before he drops off my radar.

@bskeet A fan, yes. That is a big reason (oh that and I don’t have the knowledge - so take my uneducated opinion for what it is) I’m glad I’m not in on the hiring process.

KU is not the average NCAA program; 120 years, 8 coaches. Hiring some old dude isn’t the way.

@approxinfinity Not on this one. Jacque was my favorite player until Mario came along. I don’t want an old coach nor is Jacque on my list of dream candidates. Dream assistant sure, head coach no way.

@wissox said in Women's soccer/Volleyball:

School record 2613 in attendance.

Where do they play?

@approxinfinity said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

@dylans so youre saying Jacque isnt sleazy enough. You dont think most of the machinery around Self would stay on if he retires? You dont think Jacque knows how the money works having spent 13 years as a pro and then coachng pros thereafter?

No I am saying he’s old as fuck. Don’t hire old dudes to coach 18 year olds. An entirely new staff is in order. No carryovers - how many of Roy’s guys did Bill keep around? How many of Larry’s guys did Roy keep around? A fresh start/clean slate would be in order to keep the loyalty from being divided. Roy’s guys basically revolted for Self (never bought in) - imagine if the assistants had all been the same? Ugg

@dylans Don’t like me less, bro! I need all the love I can get. Football talk is slow and not pleasant right now. I am 100% not into politics, but I’ve not liked Trump decades before he became a politician and I just like to get in a little jab when I can.

Sorry I meant the general you - anyone going down that rabbit hole. You’re fine by me @nuleafjhawk I know you are hard on the Hawks because you care.

@nuleafjhawk said in Princeton:

I went fishing today. Got skunked, as usual. But I feel my blood pressure is much better off because of it.

Myself and my boys went fishing as well. A 1pm game on a Saturday this early in the season - priorities. Don’t want to waste a Saturday afternoon in front of the boob tube.

Gotta love ESPN+ (or not) replay was easily available to watch in the evening. Another boring game though.

Tamp down those expectation. I was expecting 2 -3 wins. This year had been great!

@nuleafjhawk just the jerkoffs that I block.

Politics in sports is flat retarded. I don’t care about your political viewpoint or LeBron’s. It just makes me like you and all your viewpoints less. It muddies up the waters and adds another layer of bias.

@nuleafjhawk said in How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited:

@FarmerJayhawk is Trump gone?

TDS is real. Makes people stupid enough to think we care about politics on a sports thread.

Why be loyal to monthly streaming services? There is no contract. No need to gnash your teeth, just take matters into your own hands and switch services. This is an industry that abuses loyalty.

@approxinfinity Nope. Outside of the sleezy Larry Brown KU coaches last over a decade. Jacque barely has that in him and the job isn’t available yet. That would not be a long term hire and we’d be back in this spot very soon - assuming he can coach and is allowed to finish his tenure. There are many better candidates. What I have leaned is fans are terrible at these decisions. They are emotion based - which is the absolute worst way to make a decision. - See both the far ends of the political spectrum- all retards driven by emotion.

@approxinfinity hahahahaha. You all suck as fans!!!

@approxinfinity Jacque is 50. Probably close to a finished product. I’d rather see a younger hire.

I’m glad Vaughn is on the staff, but it rarely works that an assistant takes over a program and does well. Vaughn has been a head coach, but had not had success. I don’t know if it’s lack of opportunity or if that’s his ceiling.

@drgnslayr If Peterson can’t play 30 minutes a night, every game (at least in the tournament) KU’s ceiling is much lower. Boy is he good, but I prefer him as a player to a cheerleader.

@wissox you’ve lived a lifetime during TGF’s college playing days.

@FarmerJayhawk isn’t he 40 by now?

If I was an NBA GM I’d be very curious about all Peterson’s soft tissue injuries. At this point I absolutely would not draft him with a top 5 pick. He’s that good, but if Peterson can only play 20 minutes once a week in college, he’ll never make an NBA schedule.

Shades of late career Eric Berry. This is concerning.

Does anyone really want more Diggy Coit?

@nuleafjhawk said in Texas A&M CC:

@Gorilla72 I think Self has been negotiating with Hubert Davis for a Peterson/Wilson trade.

Trades would be fantastic. Would help balance things out. Image getting a hot ham sandwich for AJ Storr last year. Would’ve been a big upgrade.

@BShark said in Texas A&M CC:

No Darryn tonight, it would seem.

Is it a discipline issue? That would honestly be better than cramps…

@drgnslayr I would not expect either extreme outcome. This team looks more like a second game of the tournament flame out than not making it or advancing far. Not enough talent or heart to win it all. DP is amazing though, watching him for a year will be fun. Better yet I think Tiller will be a guy we get to watch develop into a stud.

And if this years team all stuck around they would be really good in year three of playing together. Since that won’t happen how’s next years team shaping up? All new players again?!? Ugg I hate this era. There is no time to grow, the results must be instant, because there is no next year. Next year is a whole new team - no progress, just a series of resets.

Cancer sucks and the treatment can be worse. Hope she fares better than the people I know.

Wish cancer had a face so I could punch it…

The first half of the game I was thinking UNC was going to be a lot better later in the year. The second half I thought the same thing about KU. ‍️ it’s early neither team is a finished product yet.

@BeddieKU23 said in UNC Matchup Friday Night:

Dropped 10 spots on Kenpom to #29. Says a lot

Mostly it says there are not a lot of data points.

Looks like a late veteran addition when someone asks out of their contract to play for a contender. The Chiefs cap for next year is f’d already so there really is no room for any big additions without subtractions next year. - over the cap about 42 mil. with only 36 players signed or some nonsense. Hope the cap goes up more than expected. Taylor is likely to get cut. Not sure who else. Bank of Mahomes will be tapped into he has a 78mil cap hit - untenable.

@approxinfinity said in KU Vs Green Bay Game Chat:

Sorry I was awol. Son had a volleyball playoff game that was priority. Sounds like a replay i will be enjoying!

It was boring. Which is fantastic. Didn’t have many boring blowouts the last couple years.

@Jhawk69 Jerry Jones is running up the price! A fool and his draft capital…

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Lance Leipold:

I can’t blame him, FANS wanted him fired!

Did he leave?

@nuleafjhawk I don’t like the interface for Hulu tv, but it seems to have the channels I need. Best of luck!

@AsadZ That’s what a lack of a salary cap and an owner with deep pockets that wants to win looks like. Used to be the Yankmes until the ownership changed hands. Baseball needs competitive balance.

I wonder when all that deferred money will catch up with them? Think it’s in escrow? I don’t.

@nuleafjhawk LMK what you think. It works adequately for me, but I’m just in it for the sports.

I feel like Andy uses the regular season Bills game to set them up later. - same look different play next meeting. Seems to be a good formula for post season success. 5-4 is not ideal though.

Well dang. Now I wish Hollywood would’ve scored.

@nuleafjhawk said in How to sign up for ESPN plus/select/unlimited:

@dylans So, are you happy with what you’re using it for? I’ve been a big proponent of YouTube TV for years, but their prices have climbed steadily and they seem to have these contracts disputes too often. Was it last year or the year before when CBS was on the chopping block with them?

I have no complaints. It works for what I need it to do. And the contract is month to month so not much of a commitment.

@nuleafjhawk Yes. But only use it for Ku basketball and Chiefs games. I have no idea about the other channels, I don’t watch live tv if it’s not sports.

As for those games, when paired with peacock and espn+, I think that covers them all. (Maybe paramount+ too)

@approxinfinity ESPN+ is just the online streaming content. But if you have a cable subscription you can link it and use espn annd espn2 are there.
