      @jayhawks2010 People are displacing the panic they should be having about world events onto sports. Not just here–fanbases everywere seem more irrational than normal!

    • RE: The portal.

      Not political…just a question on procedures. Visas for international college students are held up currently as the State Dept reviews social media (hasn’t said for what). Could that be putting a hold on announcing any recruiting efforts?

      @approxinfinity IIRC, the Nets dumped salary and tanked right after JV was made permanent coach. Nets fans are nuts.

      If KU beats Creighton on Friday, they play the winner of North Dakota St. vs Arkansas (# 3 overall seed).

      If KU wins the regional they play the winner of the Knoxville regional: Cincinnati, Wake Forest, Tennessee (#14 seed), or Miami.

      I think they are setting up a visit to see @wissox.

      I still can’t lay the 2003 loss to the Evil Orange at Roy’s feet. Unfortunately KU shot under 50% on FTs. Unlike Cal who ignored UK’s problems all season in 2007-08, Roy cared about those but sometimes the balls don’t go in.

    • RE: The portal.

      @RockkChalkk The Holocaust didn’t start with a bunch of exterminations that suddenly surprised everybody. Hitler ran for Chancellor on a campaign to literally destroy the German democracy, and he did it. It took 58 days. Using executive orders and passing laws restricting the rights of Jews in Germany are precisely how Hitler began his agenda. Once you declare people aren’t as entitled to legal protections as others, you open the door to larger scale assaults on civil liberties on a large scale which Trump has expressly stated is his goal.

      What is disgusing is how few people recognize the historical parallels…and how you attack someone who recognizes them. Martin Niemöller had something to say about that willful blindness. Please read some history.

    • RE: So I was walking around Walmart yesterday…

      @approxinfinity Might be from the era before you were even a glimmer in your parents’ eyes, but… Flip flops used to be known as thongs (especially the ones from India where you’d soak the leather soles and let them dry conforming to your feet, circa early '70s IIRC), probably until the other clothing item and certain swimsuits acquired that name.

    • RE: The portal.

      Apparently I was misinformed. International students whose visas were revoked have not had their visas restored by the administration’s reversal. It has to do with the federal database of international students’ status, where the feds had terminated their F-1 student status en masse. Deleting their status made them eligible for deportation. It is the status that has been restored. DHS says no visas have been restored.

      I admit I have no idea what I’m talking about, but it sounds like something that may only delay students from joining the ranks of deportees as a result of the database change–until ICE just gets around to rounding up all visa holders from particular countries. Anyone who understands the student database thing is free to correct me!

      It used to be, as Bobby Knight said, that the best thing about a freshman is knowing he will become a sophomore. Now fans announce definitive judgments about the limitations of sophomores-to-be as if no player could possibly improve from their first year.

    • RE: Dog days of Sprummer.

      Re: Uzzu.tv–Lots of reviews complain about fake refund promises, and recommend using a single-use credit card. They claim to be in “the States” and you can visit at 90 N Gould St, Sheridan WY (no zip given). Google maps shows that address to be associated with “Swiftify” of 30 N Gould Street, which according to the Sheridan newspaper is the location of a well-known “registered agent” of hundreds, maybe thousands, of fly-by-night companies. I.e., ain’t no company there, just an “I know nothing” bozo who files papers. Being monitored by the Wyoming A.G. office.

      The Uzzu app was removed from Firestick and elsewhere, and they offer instructions for sideloading onto Firestick, Apple products, phones, smart tvs, Roku, etc., using a login code they give you.

      No phone number, no domain name revealed in their email, no physical contact info. Yep, sounds legit to me.

    • RE: What tandem will be better than Flory / Peterson

      @nuleafjhawk Not a fair comparison. If they are in the top combo position, literally every other team, or roughly 99.7% of men’s teams, have a chance to do better. Betting the field that is that large is pretty safe.

    • RE: The portal.

      Salary caps in pro leagues only are allowed because they have been negotiated in collective bargaining. Any effort to control the money athletes can get by having an NCAA impose a salary cap will run into the same problems as when they imposed a cap of zero. The system will only start working when schools accept that athletes are labor, and treat them accordingly.

      Has anyone answered the Q about whether Flory, as an international recruit, is able to get NIL? Grady wasn’t, but he didn’t go to HS in the US. Flory did, I think, so is that the difference? I thought it was a student visa restriction…don’t want to jeopardize a visa right now!

      Postseason blaming going on as usual…not for me. I prefer to remember the good and the fun, and to be grateful for our extraordinary record that causes so many people to get so angry during disappointments. It is a game, and hopefully not the center of anyone’s existence. Good luck to everyone and lets see if the Royals surprise again!

      I had a friend whose pacemaker failed as he was walking out of a theater with his wife. He dropped like a sack of potatoes and she saved his life by doing CPR until the ambulance came. He always told the story to include a little joke: when he came to, he said, he was surprised to find out she still wanted him around.

      Sounds like your wife worked hard to keep you around. Treat her well!

      @kjayhawks Self has won 2 titles, only one less than Reid, and has done so in a sport with 10 times as many teams and 5 times as many in the playoffs. All while having guaranteed 100% roster turnover every few years at most, and without a draft process that guarantees entitlement to 7 of the top 250 players from colleges who prepare players for the pro’s. And without having an owner’s hundreds of millions of dollars available–actually, required–to spend on salaries while having only an arbitrarily limited staff.

      Both face one constant: fans who are oh-so-certain they know everything.
