@rockchalkjayhawk not real sure what you’re so worked up about. I LIKE napping to golf. The announcers speak in hushed monotone voices and its conducive to good naps. Sorry my nap routine is so upsetting ro you.

@jay4ever Agree about Storr 100 % his feet should NEVER , EVER step foot on the court here again for one minute , he has been given many chances but as soon as he steps on the floor he is an instant turnover or a Black hole- give those minutes to a meaningful player

And it looks like the Chiefs have now locked up Nick Bolton for three more years. Some interesting moves so far. Lots thought he would move on to the Bengals.

KU bb and fb are my favorite but watching my 3 yr gson playing bb is pretty fun too! When he plays D he takes them all the way to the floor, made a 5 yr old gal go crying to her mom. I’ve never laughed so hard!

I still go there because they do put stories on all KU sports, football, soccer, volleyball etc. I concur that quality of articles has dropped but I get to receive information. For this reason, I have started a monthly trial and will see how it goes.

@approxinfinity said in And so it begins -- Players won't play without promised NIL $: Feel bad for the ageless one here. Imagine if KUs boosters were flaky and Self was stuck squeezing them and encouraging the kids that the money was coming. What a drag. Yup. What a crappy position to put any coach in. And remember, NIL money isn’t “pay for play”. Players aren’t supposed to complain about hustling butt but not getting paid. And it’s not supposed to be money for just being recruited. Outside of the court, it’s services rendered. We give you money and you provide a service for us at market rate. But whatever. It’s just crazy. Player revolts are a bad thing.

Naaassssty!

Looks like we’re still waiting to hear who’s gonna do some portaling. Given our guard/wing acquisitions, Elmarko has to be thinking twice about leaving.

@nuleafjhawk @dylans I think the Chiefs’ staff is very set and working like a finely tuned instrument. It could be difficult to bring him back without inpinging on someones’s job. They all said his talk to the players in the playoffs was inspiring, but that doesn’t mean he could slip into a cheerleader role. Not having a place that fits him doesn’t mean they wouldn’t consider him if a job had opened up. The rapid extensions given Toub, Spags and others show the Chiefs don’t want to upset the apple cart.

Victory! No complaints with any road win. Hope Kelce is ok.

QB4 looks good too! #6

@dylans said in The Big 12 conference: Fsu to the sec makes sense. I don’t get the appeal of the big 10 (for anyone really) other than media $$$ The appeal of the Big 10 for many schools is academic. Being a member of the AAU is a requirement for Big 10 membership and these are generally considered to be the top research universities in the country. Access to those research grants is very appealing to university presidents and the Big 10 has historically been considered the top academic league among the power conferences along with the PAC 12. Academics are also why schools like Virginia, North Carolina, Duke, and Georgia Tech have been mentioned as potential Big 10 targets over the years.

@nuleafjhawk yeah we haven’t been to a bowl in like 6 months smh

The drama was mildly entertaining. At the very least it brought some life into Rory’s otherwise lack of give a shit.

@Gorilla72 That’s going to play out again. Juan, Kev, Hunter, KJ are going to play the most. Elmarko, Nick, Braun, Furphy the next 4. Mari sprinkled in as needed. The next 4 has zero collective minutes played at KU. There will be growing pains and a likely drop off to the bench.

Yup, giant shit show. Love the I, Tonya idea! I, Gio!

@AsadZ thats a tough one. I enjoyed this WC immensely and i hope it has a positive impact bridging the gap between the middle east and the western world.

@justanotherfan You are certainly correct about expectations, but for the players on 'bama who play, they could well be highly motivated to demonstrate their skills. Especially the second string guys who will get a lot more PT if a platoon of draft-elible starters bag it.

Despite frustrating end to the half, this was a fun game. WR roles seems to be getting clear. Should Sky continue to return punts, perhaps make a change here.
