In support of slavery

Mizzou is.

Last night I watched the "border war documentary" on Metro Sports and it sucked.
I came out of it just hating Mizzou even more to the point where it was difficult for me to sleep because I was so fired up.

The thing that is great about being a Jayhawk, or one of the many things that's great about it, is that we shoot for titles, and mizz shoots for beating KU.

In 2 weeks Mizz will learn once again that they are not going to a BCS bowl, since they are a football school this will upset them, and then they can have another 3 months before they don't make a final four, so business as usual.

All week, I've been ready to concede this game on Saturday, they have so much speed, our D is weak, no Jake Sharp, not sure about our playing calling, people are banged up, the reasons I believed we are going to lose are countless, but then something happened yesterday.

My aunt, the hot one as all of you that have met her call her, is married to a guy with a really pussy hand shake, like scary weak, and he likes Mizz and he's not to loud about it because he hasn't had anything to bark about since I've known him.
So I told him congrats on his impending victory on Saturday and he wasn't so sure that Mizz would win, I thought, fucking douche, of course you will, and then I realized maybe he was being an arrogant prick, and I thought well shitfire I'm even more pissed at this fucking guy.
So the game Saturday doesn't mean shit, KU is going to the Insight Bowl and Mizz will probably wind up in the Alamo or Holiday, but what is important is shutting them the fuck up.
Kicking their ass would make me insanely happy and I think its gonna happen.

I will not be attending the game, because I am not a good fan, obviously, so for those of you that are attending, good luck and have fun, my weak ass will be on the couch, warm.

Gobble day (40th post)

Things I am thankful for KU edition---
That Bill Self is our coach
TR5
KM especially his hands (if that sounds gay that doesn't bother me, nope)
That all the lame KU fans are not attending every basketball game, making it a lot easier for me to go, and in the end I only care about my happiness so this is good.
That we aren't scheduled to play Syracuse for well ever
Cole's progress into an outstanding big man
Tyshawn Taylor having the lighest shoes ever (if you are stupid that means he's really fast and I'm sorry that you are dumbass)
TWINS

to all of Hawk Nation, have a sweet fucking ass turkey day and here's to a win on Friday and Saturday
Rock Chalk

p.s. I realized you could search the blog the other day so I searched "fuck" and every post came up, so I wasn't about to end the streak, everybody has to have something that seperates them from the rest

Sherron Collins

Cole 45

Just a quick post while I am on hold.
This guy, well he's going to be on the Jayhawks in the NBA video, and probably pretty soon at this rate.
He's a legit 6-10 to 6-11, he's very fluid, which is a good word to describe you if you are tall and want to make money playing hoops.
And the fact of the matter is that you can't teach height and the NBA is starved for true centers and that is exactly what this kid is.

If he finsihes the year averaging 15 - 10 and 3 blocks, he's certainly going to be projected to go very high.
This will be interesting to see how he progresses and if he stays.
At any rate on behalf of 1024mississippi, I want to thank you for playing a $ game last night, job well done.
1 down 3 to go
Let's get another W tonight.

4 games this week, giddy up

So your defending National Champs and the reigning Orange Bowl champs have a combined 4 games in the next 6 days, so that's fucking balls awesome.

Allot (Reals) has happened since the last post.
OU teabagged Tech, which was nice.
Mizzou beat a ranked team in hoops, yawn.
K-st hired a guy as old as McCain.
I met one of the greatest Kansas Basketball players of all time.

So let's move quick.
KU is heading to the Insight or Independence bowl per CBS and ESPN, I'd bank on the Insight bowl against Wisconsin, but we won't know for sure until after the Mizz game.

Playing missery in Camerohead, which I'm way over, and ALLOT KU fans are getting rid of their tickets, so look for a pro AIDS crowd, good times.

If KU can beat MU with Brian Luke at the helm, then they sure as shit can win on Saturday, and I think they will, but that's how I get down.

SO CBE tonight and tomorrow. This will be a really good early season barometer (I never thought we'd use that word here, but hey between fuck and barometer we got our shit covered)
Looking forward to seeing what the squad looks like with 6 days of practice and not playing in the Mecca of college hoops.

Last night I went to the Hall of Fame

(this just came across via e-mail) -- Thought for the day: "Cockgobbler" is one of the finest words around. Use it in reference to a Tiger at least twice a day this week. Preferably in face-to-face fashion.

so last night.
I met Danny Manning, Cole, Twins (and anyone who says they can tell them apart when they aren't in their unis is full of shit, they are the same person X 2) Sherron, fake Mario Chalmers and Coach Dooley, real good times.
All the guys we're really down to earth and sweet enough to sign my ticket stub, so that was awesome, looking forward to supporting them this evening after I clown some Grinders.

So be good Hawk's and get ready for a balltastic week.

Triple threat

1st-
Had lunch today at Applebee's, and had probably the biggest douche ever server.
Highlights include but not limited to
RB- How's it going?
Douche - "well i'm at work so it could always be better but at least I have a job so that's good"

also dude asked to see my ID on a $9.88 ticket, fucker.
I'm thinking this is further evidence that if I don't cheer for you athletically and you have earrings, you are a douche

2nd - (the banner is next, so scroll down if need be)
Our football team has now lost 2 commitments, one was a dick, the other was lazy so while it isn't the end of the world, in the best interest of keeping the blognation educated in all things, KU, I figured I drop this on you.

Insight Bowl is pretty much a lock and its also pretty much a lock that Chase Daniel is going to fuck us up Transformer style, and no I don't know what that means but the last time I blogged about forceful anal sex I got an earful from the secretary of the blog headquarters. (see my roomie)

3rd- Banner
Awesome, it still is weird, like I wasn't sure how I was supposed to get involved in the game against Florida Gulf Coast, which I bet would be the easiest place ever to score ass, you can't be smart and go there, its not possible.

Having the team go to one side of the floor and watch the whole thing was really cool, the vide per usual was awesome and it was very cool to know that no one else was doing what we were doing at that exact moment.
You get chill when you think about it because it was so unreal. From our seats I looked past 13 Final Four banners to see our 5 National Champions banners and that's a hell of a rush.


As for the team, I'm going to withhold judgement until they play at least ten real games, but there is something there and with a stable/bad ass point and an anchor, you give yourself a shot everytime out.

PX2, P squared, The Truth, Jayhawk

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdzIavJbp-c

I'm sitting on the couch last night trying to figure out why the heat didn't have Chalmers in at the end when he was creating shots for his team and getting to line, while still being leaps and bounds better than that little white PG Quinn from ND and I saw this highlight.

So I'm not going to ruin it, but I should have know this happened.
When you're the truth, you're the truth.

Let's get shit straight


"I had to deal with 13 players who were devastated, and in each of them in their own right, they thought they were responsible," Calipari said. "I had a staff that felt devastated. I had a campus, a city. People cried in this city. If we had won, there is no city that would be impacted as much as we were."Lawrence wasn't as impacted. That's their fifth national title. Here in Memphis, we all needed this. We all needed that. We deserved to do it. So what we're at Memphis? So what we're not in the BCS? We had the best team."


From ESPN



If this blog was a person it would be the kind of person to show up to a fight by the oak trees after school with an AK, why, because this blog doesn't fuck around, this blog will kick your ass, fuck yo bitch and then tell you about it, kind of like Tupac.


So let's break down the amazing quote from Calamari. That guy is a fucking tool, what a douche.

It's odd that his "dream team" didn't win, oh that's right because you built a team of street ballers and you put them through that rigorous schedule that is C-USA, so why wouldn't they be prepared to play Kansas.


While your degenerate team was busy slamming balls off the court, delaying the game after an oop and running into Cole like a thug, we were getting ready to party all over your ass and after Mario made it rain, we basically teabagged you for 5 minutes straight, you're whole squad and all your fans, so deal with it, you had to eat our nuts.


Why don't you concentrate on coaching your squad and quit reliving the game you lost.




on a whole different tip-
while waiting for the replay of the KU game on Metro Sports, I caught some Mizz postgame and whoever they were talking to from the Zou, thinks they are going to win the Big 12, right.

in case you missed it I thought it should be pointed out.


Calamari- You wife is ugly too. Pound sand


love-rb

halftime party time

TWINSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Looks like I am right on again in my predictions, just call me Cleo the crystal ball person.
Twins: more points than fouls, check.
Play some D, check. We always can get better but the D looked MUCH better.

I told the roomster that we'd win by 40. Check on that shit, too.

So obviously its right after the game now and no I'm not going to change the title of this blogsertion, because its my blog and when your squad balls out all over some squad you can name the blog.

Cole - he was way toooo talented for ESU, but he did look good. I like him showing a low post repertoire and an outside J plus he still does that silly free throw motion.

Sherron ron ron- Bad ASS, Roy, would you like to have Collins instead of Lawson, huh. And hey you atheist Coach K, how's Paulus.
I'm loving Sherron telling the whole nation how his as taste all year long, dude is gnarly good.

Twin- Played EXCEPTIONAL, POG, Marcus, loved his game today, guy makes plays, he is smooth and is only going to get better, he played about 100 times better than a week ago.

Kieff Records- He's going to be good and should continue to get better throughout the year, he has the tools and he hasn't yet showed his range but we did get a glimpse of some of his versatility and perimeter skills.

TI aka Releford aka attended more games than any KU recruit ever- Played good, I'm not ready to start sucking his dick yet, but he was in the right place a lot of the time and he seemed to get more comfortable as the game wore on

Fake Mario Chalmers aka Tyshawn Taylor- Well how this guy was not ranked in the top 15 is beyond me, he had 3 no looks that I can count he can get to the tin whenever he wants. He showed a good shot at late night. His D was good and he has that "it" factor and he makes other s around him better

reed- spot up shooter, the sooner we accept that the happier we will all be, anything else he does is gravy or italian dressing or A1 whatever you want to call it.

Brady aka Pajamas- he can ball out a little he is very white like Kelting but he has some brother in his game, I think he'll be a good contributor for this team and he can obviously shoot the pill, and he's kind of a little vroom vroom to him

hard to be too upset with tonight, but I know NCHCBS will tell them they aren't shit and they haven't even won a game that counts yet and get them ready for Sunday.

Congrats to you, fan of the best college basketball program in the land, the program is strong and they showed it tonight, I'll be totally honest with you I might be gay for Twins and Taylor, plus throw in the Sherron mania and Cole.
(blogger note- if anyone ever refers to Cole as "the sheriff" on here, you won't be welcome on here, honestly I doubt there is anything I can do to ban you but I will not want you here and I'll probably have to tell the entire blog nation that you hit old women or some shit)

Sleep tight little Jayhawks, tomorrow we will welcome one of the best PF's to head to Mt. Oread in awhile.
Thomas Robinson, looking forward to you making your Jayhawk status official tomorrow.
Rock Chalk

glorified practice plus a bunch of other random thoughts that you should be glad I am sharing with you

Here's what I'm looking for tonight---
Will Q replicate his performance from last week or will he frosh it up and struggle.
Will the twins have more points that fouls, I say yes.
How much does the white duo of brady and reed play?
do we stop people on D.

honestly it'll be a blowout and i'm sure there will be some plays that make it worth while but I just want to see the team progress.

Big Blue Monday -------------------------------

Went to this last night and other than the fact that the last people there won tickets to tonights game, it was kind of a waste of my time.
Here's the deal, it was Keegan, Bukaty and Brady McColon or whatever his name is.

They said precisely nothing, seriously nothing, Keegan bitched that he doesn't have access to the locker room, shockingly no one cared.

Then they predicted that Sal Capra would start at a OG spot for us next year, which scared me. And also told us that we should be happy that we are going to a bowl and we should be happy if we make the Bog Dance, hey way to shoot for the stars fellas, seriously was a borderline shitty beat writer your dream?
Unreal.

Keegan was really good last year so I'll give him a pass.
Bukaty is an ugly Erin Andrews, but aren't we all, chick is wicked hot.
And Brady McMoron, he just sucks.

None of these turds mentioned Sherron Collins at all when discussing hoops, so that was cute and gained them a shit load of cred.
I think next time I should do the BBM, it would have been better for all involved.

here are the questions I asked and how I would have answered them

What was the mood in the locker room after the game against the corn?

Well, TR5 was pissed because he got beat up while he watched our D look like the shittiest D ever, they are last in the country against the pass.
Mangino is pissed because we are better than this.
TR5 is calling Anthony Collins and telling him to fuck off, because he could use him this year.
And generally everyone is bummed out that we for all intents and purposes blew our shot to play for the north, that wouldn't have been fun so who cares.

Do you see Hatch moving inside next year on the O line?
Yes, he'll start at LG and Spikes will play LT and Lueken will be RT, I'd guess John Williams will be our RG, not Sal Capra, at least I hope so.

What is a reasonable goal for hoops overall?

Make the dance and I say sweet 16 anything after that is gravy, I'd say a 3-6 seed is within reach. Does that seem vague to you, its better than they should make the dance, Really, great answers guys.


One last thing.

Looking at the KC Star this morning, Briscoe has a better YPC and more total yards than Maclin, and as far as I know both of Briscoe's parents love him so he's got a lot up on Maclin, but let's all continue to suck his dick because he returned a punt for a TD, whoopie fucking doo. Just thought I'd point this out.

Briscoe should be over 1100 yards this year
Sharp should get to 1K on the ground and 1400 total yards

TR has more yards than Colt McCoy, in case anyone cares.

Looking forward to the game tonight.

Not a good weekend to be a Jayhawk

Let's see Charles Gordon breaks his ankle, Hinrich tears his thumb all to hell and is out 12 weeks, which means he isn't getting traded this year and will rot on the pine in Chitown.
Then let's see there was Saturday, TR5, KM and DP all got nicked up, Adrian Mayes left the game again and the corn took it to us.
so that was uplifting wasn't it.

On top of that we lost our top LB recruit for next year, to the corn, whatever.

This coming weekend we have a chance to F up the whole BCS by beating Tejas and we start playing hoops games that count.
Wednesday is the first day of the early signing period for hoops and KU has 2 studs that'll be Hawks officially in T Rob and EJ.

What we learned in Lincoln, we are banged up and our O line and D line are not so good.
Briscoe is what top 10 WR's in the country, maybe even top 5, you tell me 5 that are better.
TR5, is well, he's the best we have ever seen. With at least 15 games left in his career maybe more, he is already the greatest passer in the history of KU, he'll be over 10K yards before its all said and done, that is unreal, and he should have over 100 TD's passing plus whatever he has rushing.

Props to Gale Sayers for being named to "greatest college football team" by SI, guy is a stud and always nice to have a Hawk get some good press especially on a weekend like we just had.

Xavier Henry, will never announce where he is going to school, he will simply show up at either Memphis or KU and live off campus, take all online classes under the alias "1 and Done" then he will show up at Late Night as a member of KU or Memphis, so no need to wait for an announcement, just go to Late Night and see for yourself.

Thoughts from row 8

Before we talk about the new Hawks, lets give a shout out to Mario Chalmers, maybe you remember him.
But tonight he set the Heat record for most steals in a game, go ahead and let that sink in. More steal than D Wade has ever had, more than Eddie Jones who was known for his D, more than Tim Hardaway, although that's not that impressive.
Kudos Chalmers, you are off to a great start keep it up.

New School Hawks-
Let's talk about the game as I believe it will pertain to the rest of the season.
Mario Little, who will be a starter and counted on to do a lot, did not play due to a stress fracture.
Twins, did not make the Canada trip so they will take some time to jel.
Kief and Marcus both have talent, that's very apparent, they are skilled.

Sitting mad close was a blessing and curse in a way, they are great seats and I got to sit by Cindy Self, Morningstar and Teahan's families and Joc Crawford, which was cool
It was kind of a bummer because you could see some things you might not see from a different seat or TV.

Collins, WOW, he knows what is ahead of him and what he needs to do, lead. He was telling the twins where to go and every other frosh for that matter, and encouraging and coaching, he was very intense. He's always been solid, but you can tell that this is HIS team, and he wants it to be successful.

Releford, was a little shaky, but he had a look on his face while he was playing that you could tell that he was having a great time but remaining serious, I saw him ask questions on multiple times, he wants to be better and he will be a good player for us.

Before I forget, all of the frosh, would look at Self after a bad play, and from what I could gather, it was they WANT to be coached, they WANT to be better, they WANT to represent KU. This was so encouraging to me, you never know how they will act or care and its clear that they all understand what it means to be a Jayhawk.

Taylor, or fake Mario Chalmers as we were calling him last night, Piotr and I discussed him having the "it" and I still think that. He made turnovers, 5 of em', but Chalmers, Adonis Jordan, Vaughn, and Kirk all did the same thing when they were little, and just for the record me and 193950 talk about this anytime KU has a frosh PG.
Taylor did have some good moves and is good / great in transition.

Brady, is athletic and balled out a bit last night, played good and I could see him and Reed giving us some quality minutes off the pine this year. Both need to get a little bit better at D, but the whole team does so I'm not going to sit here and throw daggers from the couch. It was good to see both of them shine a bit after red-shirting and riding pine respectively last year.

Aldrich, didn't really do anything, but I predict he will at the very least be the all time leader at KU for draawing lane violations with his silly FT motion. He will get better and have better days if for no other reason than NCHCBS (national champion head coach Bill Self) will make sure of it.

Trying to figure out who I have missed... you can't think of it can you.
I didn't forget him, But Q Thomas, was the guy last night. Plays hard, smart and kept going. 10 points, 6 boards, hit the charities and got to the line. With the depth we have if he can go in and play hard and draw fouls and hit from the stripe, he will be invaluable to us. People are saying he's Darnell or Richard Scott, either would be great, but I like his play.

The most important thing of QT playing the way he did, is that it will ratchet up the pressure on twins. They have another week to practice and then another handful of days before the games count.
The first 2 real games are at home and against inferior competition also Little should be back in early December and this team can get going.

Its very weird and different not getting the "NEW YORK NEEEEEEW YORK" before the game but we'll never forget those guys and you know what when you are a freshman at KU you have to do something big in your 4 years if you want to be remembered forever and the best way to do that is to throw up some banners, and last years Seniors did that and this years frosh are working towards that a little bit everyday.
Relax and enjoy the growth.

These are your defending NATIONAL CHAMPIONS - KU preview

The following is an e-mail exchange between and my pen pal from Poland. Yes the blog is multicultural.

polsih-
SUp? So how fired up are you for this season? I'm assuming you have been in
Lawrence for the last couple of days, sleeping in your car by the towers to
get the twins autographs, right?
Anyway, I was looking for your opinion on this year, I'm going to try to get> up a preview on le blog.

I'm think sweet 16 is a good goal, first round bye in the conference
tourney.

Other than that, I'm going to be really curious to see if Collins blows up, and goes league, someone is gotta leave if Self signs 3 guys like he is trying to do so the most logical is Collins or Cole. other than that I think it'll take me at least 5 games before I figure out which twin is which, one of them should have to wear a fro wig and a different colored shirt just to make it easier for fans, but maybe this will work well against other teams, i know missery and ksucks will have no idea who is who, so that'll be fun.
hope all is well

R Bauer!
Yea....I am pumped bro!? It is a different?excitement b/c we really do not know what to expect.? That is the exciting part of it.
I've been reading my media guide and still reminiscing about last season. I love this years>poster with all the boyz walking through the Phog....it's hella tight!?
I'm going to rewatch the Villanova game on Wednesday night, can't wait!? If your bored, feel free to join me.
First and foremost, I love your blog! Keep that shit up. It is under my favorites and I love reading it while I'm on the can.
Secondly, this season is going to be a roller coaster I have a feeling. Obviously it reminds us of the 05 squad with JuJu, B Rush and Rio coming in as Frosh. I remember their first game against Idaho St., thinking that this team might ot be bad, and then being so frustrated with all the TO's and the 61-49 loss to AZ the next game. Starting the year off 3-4 and then> gelling as a whole.? I think the first light I saw was during the Cal game in KC when we were struggling and then Vinson came in and we started to play as a team. Then of course the UK game, where we just anally raped them at AFH. Then, even though we lost to MU, with Moody clanking the freebies, I saw how good Mario was going to be. Can't forget that memorable OU game at home, Chalmers was just nails. I loved that year b/c we grew into men by the end of the season. Yeah, we lost to Bradley, but we just weren't up for that game. It was just one of those days. I really think this team will be the same, in it's own way. The one thing that we do have is obviously a big man in Cole and a leader in Sherron. I do think our schedule is a lot of tougher this year than it was back in 06. Yea, AZ was #7, Nevada #20, UK#19 - overrated at that time, OU#18 and Texas #7 and #8. The only true road test we had was the can of whoop ass that Texas opened up on us in Austin when they destroyed us from the tip and ended up winning by 25. Then of course we got them back when in counted in the Big 12 'Ship. This year, we are going to get tested and get tested early, before Big 12 play. Which is a great thing. We get Washington, who is a top 30-35 squad, then we either get the Cuse, who again is a top 30-35 team, or we play Florida- who is #19. Then we get a month of teams that we should beat. Our first real test will be that road game in Tuscon. Yeah, AZ ain't ranked, but we will be going into what could be a hostile environment. Any time you go on the road, it's never a gimmie. Then 10 days later, we got Tenn at home. The fieldhouse should be rocking, UT will be a top 10-15 team. A week later will be the biggest test of the season. Going into East Lansing, where we have not played since Magic was the PG for the Spartans. This will be a HUGE game for our guys. MSU will most likely be ranked in the top 10 if not the top 5. We will see how far we have come and how we can compete with a damn good Izzo coached team. At this point in the season I can see us at about 11-4 or 12-3,at worst 10-5.
Then, we will have the conferece season, where the South is going to be pretty good. OU and Texas will most likely be top 10 teams all year long, Baylor will be tough as will A&M. I see us getting about 11 or 12 wins. I think the tough non-con slate will prepare us well for our conference. I think the North will be weak, as usual. I forsee us getting a 1st weekend bye in the Big 12 Tourney. I have a feeling we will either be a 3 or 4 seed. OU and Texas will be 1 and 2. Then again, don't count us out on on grabbing a 1 or 2 seed! If the South beats up on each other and we take care of business, we could very well be winning our 5th straight conference title. I think all this will depend on how the Frosh develop. We do have a strong core with Cole and Collins. Don't count us out on getting to the Big 12 'Ship again but I see us maybe going out in the semis.
I really think we should be able to continue our tourney streak and make it for a 20th consecutive year. I think AZ's streak will either be snapped this year or next year and we will take over with the most consecutive appearances. Go into the tourney with 7-9 losses and probably get any where from a 3-6 seed. I could see us losing in the 2nd round or the Sweet 16. I think most fans will take this coming off a NCAA Title, losing 8 players and 83% of our scoring. The one thing that we do have going for us this year, which we did not have in 06, is leadership. Two individuals who contributed and played in the Final Four.
I think the Morris twins could absolutley become beasts. Watching them at Late Night, they remind me of Gooden. The way they walk, their game, their moves and they are the first set of big man or men that can both go inside and outside since Drew and Nick. I did not really consider Wayne an inside outiside type of player. Yea, he could hit the 15 footer but these guys just have something about them that I have not seen since Drew, especially Markieff. He has the perfect body, 6'9 235lbs.? I think he could become unstopable. The talent on these team is there, Releford is a slasher and great defender, Taylor is a stud- the kid has that "it" factor. Great floor general, passer and he knows how to play the game...ala Russ Rob except with more talent. Thomas and Appleton will be role players that will get their 4-6 points a game. Maybe more like Darnell Jackson type of numbers his soph campaign. I am interested to see if Little can stay healthy. I think he kind of has the body of D Rose or a Frank Williams. He could be a big part to this team if he gets this stress fracture healed and is as good as advertised. I don't really see Reed, Morningstar or Teahan getting much playing time. I could almost throw Appleton in this bunch, but I really can't put my finger on it. I am juiced for Tuesday to come and see how we play. I wish Little was healthy b/c I would like to see more of his game. I think we will get Xavier this week. With a class of Robinson, EJ and Xavier, the 09-10 squad is going to be sick. They will most likely be preseason top 5 and could very well be picked to cut down the nets in 2010. I don't see Sherron sticking around. He will get his 15-18 shots a game,put up his points and leave for the money, as long as he stays healthy. Otherwise, I could see him sticking around for his senior year.
Anywho, this is more than you probably wanted to hear but you did ask my opinion:)? I would love to watch a game with you this year.
Rock Chalk!

Super stuff, agree very much.
I think Little is a guy that does have a lot of talent and anytime you have a guy that can get his own shot and get to the tin whenever he wants and with a young team that could be key.I'm looking at it as making the bumps bumpier, but I think its a blessing. Baptism by fire, and it'll give more minutes to TR and Marcus.
That michigan state game reminds me of when we played them in detroit in the great 8 and chenoworthless got owned and Mo Pete got all nuts on us.Here's the 4 things I'm most interested in seeing this year
1- how do the fans react when things get rough. KU fans are the most passionate in the country and when things are going well everyone is happy but you know how it goes when things go wrong, so it'll be interesting.
2- how does Collins do this year with an increased roll and a decreased supporting cast. How will he respond. His talent is immense and he's a bulldog, hopefully he sees this year as an opportunity, ifhe just buckles down and kicks ass for 5 months he'll never have to attend another class and he can more than provide for his kid. I think he'll be up to it.
3- Taylor, you nailed it, the kid has "it" and he played in such a successful high school program and you can never have enough winners.I think he'll play a lot, be vocal and keep things from getting too chaotic.
4- the twins, I think when you mentioned gooden that is a decent comparison, I think the thing that has me excited is they know each others game so well, that'll help. And they both represent the new PF,gone are the days of a banger, these guys can collectively play the 3through 5 and make plays. You know them stretching the floor out to the arc is going to give Collins and Taylor a lot of space to operate and drive and also TR when he's in there. Since the knock on him is alack of an outside J. So a spread out floor could enhance his ability to drive.We'll for sure get together for some games.

another chain of communication-

Broseph-
Let me know what you are hearing on X, there's so much shit out there right now, I'm trying to take it all in, but I feel and have seen enough to think that X will be at KU next year, so needless to say we should get sleeping bags and go crash at the towers to get his autograph since dude is crazy good.
His game kind of reminds me of this guy

I'm mean very similar shot, right?
anyway let me know what you're hearing I think this is gonna happen, which I called before Late Night but even I didn't see him doing the Alma Matter and the Rock Chalk, that was excellent, and its not really his fault, weird things happen to people when they step into the Phog, its magical.

(i did not include PZ's reply to this, just because there was some info that will get both of us in trouble, regarding X. Let's just put it this way, there's reason to think X is going to be at KU, which means there's reason to think I will dance with no pants)


also got this little nugget from kelting on the squad and basically, its unfair to Kelting to have him below the insane knowledge from above, but it would also be a blogtrocity to give kelting his own entry on this topic, but here's what the kid with red hair has to say....

I was asked by RB to share some thoughts on the upcoming basketball season. This surprised me for two reasons. One, it's still football season, why are we talking about basketball? Two, I get most of my thoughts from Bauer, why does he want mine? And to be honest with you, I don't know what I'm going to add.

So here it goes. I haven't read one single preseason article. There, I said it. It feels good to be honest will all of you. I realize that Late Night was a few weeks ago and we have an exhibition game tomorrow, but I haven't been thinking about KU basketball. Depending on what polls you read, we are ranked around 24th in the nation. This is something that we haven't been used to in recent years so I decided to look at preseason rankings for the last several years. Did you realize that for the 2005-2006 season we were unranked in the preseason polls? Then I got to thinking…Bill Self remarked that this team reminded him of our team three years ago (that 2005-2006 team). Let's take a trip down memory lane. Giddens gets stabbed, my all time favorite Puerto Rican KU basketball player transfers, we beat Kentucky in the Field House by a ton, Moody misses some free throws against Missouri, KU starts1-2 in the Big 12, we open the Booth Family Hall of Athletics (real nice Clark), we say goodbye to Jeff Hawkins, Christian Moody, Stephen Vinson on Senior Night (still upset that Hawkins isn't playing anymore), Max gets 60 retired, we go on to share the Big 12 title with Texas, KU wins the Big 12 tournament over Texas, Julian has a SICK 360 dunk at the end of that game, then we lose to Bradley.


Well, I gotta think we'll see some of the same with this team. Hopefully the Morris twins won't get stabbed and hopefully Moody isn't coming back to help us shoot free throws, but look big picture. That season had a lot of ups and downs. A talented freshman class of Chalmers and Rush gave us an idea what the future looked like. We started that season slow, but we were able to rally and share the Big 12 title and win the Big 12 tournament. This season we'll see a large, talented freshman class grow. We'll see if some JUCO transfers are able to play at this level. We'll see if Cole is the leader and ball player we think he's capable of being. We'll see if Sherron is good enough to carry a team and if he's good enough to play in the League. I think we'll be a better team without Witherspoon. We'll have loses that piss us off and wins that make us believe, even if only for one night, that we can make it to the Final Four. To be honest, we'll likely finish 2nd or 3rd in the conference, and get knocked out in the Sweet 16. But this team will be fun to watch, we'll just have to let them play, let them mature and cheer them on.

And remember, no matter what happens this year…we got our championship.

dribble dribble

just in case anyone missed it, 1024mississippi.blogspot.com would like to give kudos to Drew Gooden.
The other night he yanked down 2o plus boards and tonight he dropped 20 points. Impressive to say the least.
I always remember him taking over games his junior year and getting us back to the Final 4 for the first time in way too long.
Kudos to you Drew, now please rep KU and shave that weird shit off your face.

look for the hoops preview tomorrow

Lookin' Sharp

Seeing that LJW and KCstar both used that title, I might as well too.

So I did decent on my predictions, TR did not have 4 TD's and KM did not catch 9 passes, however, in Stephen A Smith voice, I was solid

More than 1 shovel pass, yep, they ran one where a guy was all over Sharp in the first half and he got about 6 yards on it, then they ran the one that went for 40 plus to Sharp and took the ball to the 4 yard line.
D gets a TO, check mark, Josh Freeman, makes getting turnovers easy, I think he wants to fuck, check that get fucked in the butt by Russel Bronsen, otherwise why would a DE have 3 INTs, in his career and all of them have come against Josh the most amazing QB ever Freeman. If you watch JF, he's like a robot with low battery, he looks stupid, is stupid and basically gives the other team ample opps to win, good times.
Double digit W, just barely, BAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLS, Princess is lucky we didn't lay 70 on his ass, we could have, and I wish we would have.

I'd be surprised if Queers and Allies wasn't lining up outside the football offices today after the pounding we put on those limp wristed, rainbow wearing losers.

So I just got done re watching the game on DVR, best invention ever?, and I thought while at the game we looked good and then I realized we looked, really good.
The blocking was great by everybody, WR's included and even TR5, going and laying a hat on some bum ksucker.
The front 4 got sick pressure, and I'm pretty sure James Holt was replaced by Dwight Freeney the way his black ass was playing yesterday, guy was insane.

Before I forget, I had a REALLY interesting time on Mass st after the game. Went to the Lyon, which is always superb and threw some darts and then as I was heading to Keno's I ran into Anthony Davis, RS FR CB, who played well in late action yesterday, really cool guy, very nice, my sister tutors him, but he was really cool and was with Richard Johnson JR, who apparently prefers to get called "Real" like that guy from the VH1 reality circuit, whatever, I asked him how his knee was doing since he didn't play yesterday he said it felt a lot better and that he'll be playing next week in cornland, which made me excited, because healthy large black men excite me, wait what?

At Keno's I had to drop some turds, a by product of the 15 pizzas that were present at victory tailgate, anyway, the lock on the dudes john is broken, so there's this HUGE sign that reads "Lock broken, PLEASE KNOCK, Thanks" So I'm in there thinking I'm glad I did this now instead of on K-10 and some dude in white shoes, because that's all I saw, flings the door open until I start yelling and then closes the door, so I'm determined to do 2 things at this point.
1- take me sweet ass time, like wipe my ass until its operating table clean
2- figure out what dude has white champion shoes, from target

So as I stroll out I run into this bald douche bag, I mean a real life cock chugger, that has a K-st shirt on, and I look at his shoes and drop a "figures you can't read, asshole" and go on my merry way, so further proof that k-sters can't read and that's why I can be so oppressive towards them in this blog, because you can't get the net on your tractor and they can't read so I think I'm safe.
