I'm a multi-decade KU fan, and made several respectful appearances here last year. Let me give you a few reasons why you are full of it. Danny Manning-our #1 player hero and best big-man assistant in the business Jeremy Case-5-year player and grad assistant to Self Sherron Collins...

Rock Chalk, guys. Today was not as good as Monday, but hearing Self is staying and UT will be in Lawrence in December is not a bad day! Welcome to Allen Field House! Seriously, if you can make it to the game, do. AFH is one of the classic "old school" places to see a game. If you love...

But you can't change history. Kansas lost the championship game in 2003 because of uncharacteristically poor free throw shooting down the stretch. Everyone in America has been referring to Kansas as chokers and posers and pretenders for the last five years. Everyone has been very quick to...

Just dropped by to tell you I remembered you when Chalmers shot went in in regulation. Rock, chalk, honey! WHAT A GAME! And, by the way, thanks for the hospitality over here. You guys have been great to a foreigner here. Maybe we'll meet in football this year!

Don't forget, Aldrich's performance was a HUGE surprise. Aldrich never even saw the floor in many Kansas games this year--huge potential, but mostly expected for next year. Kaun got into early foul trouble, so Aldrich came in pretty much to buy some minutes. Self left him in because it was...

I'm usually with you, hatvol, but does the name T. Boone Pickens strike a note for you? We at Kansas are hearing that Pickens is prepared to pay Self in excess of 40 million dollars to coach at Oklahoma State (his alma mater)--4 million for 10 years, or something similar. I wonder what kind...

As a Jayhawk fan, I can give you an easy answer to that question. No. We wish it, hope for it, fervently pray for it, but we don't expect it. We have played basketball for 110 seasons, and this is our 13th Final Four. There has never been a time when I looked up at the banners in Allen...

Jayhawk Vol-fan here I have read this thread with disbelief! If you guys believe you should be a one seed (and even I believe it was a close call), then you believe you are one of the top four teams in the nation. You should believe that beating Louisville and going on to the Elite 8 is...

This post was great. It puts actual numbers to what your instincts tell you. Are the pace numbers for each team/game listed somewhere and I never noticed them? As for Pearl's statement about playing more physical because refs call fouls less in the tournament, I think he was referring to...

I hate that winning the conference tournament gets the automatic bid. The victory by Georgia is great for them, but should it negate an entire year of crappy play? And how about San Diego getting the bid over St. Mary's and Gonzaga in a conference tournament held ON THEIR HOME FLOOR?

I think Dick Vitale (and ESPN for that matter) should be considered recruiters for Duke and North Carolina and be subject to NCAA restrictions!

Interesting theory. I think the first weekend in Raleigh? and the second weekend in Charlotte was considered to be such a HUGE advantage, that giving them the lesser seeds in addition would've looked like they were laying out the red carpet for North Carolina. Speaking from experience in...

Now that shows why people need to talk! Rock Chalk to a KU person is like Aloha in Hawaii. It's hello, good-bye, see ya, have a nice day, all rolled into one. I honestly never dreamed it would offend anyone. The Texas A&M fans always gives us, "Gig'em," the Longhorns always close with...

I actually do post on one other board, kusports.com. On that board I am one of the many posters who actually welcomes posters from other schools who are polite. We learn a lot from them and have some great "conversations" with them about everything from basketball to which bars to go to in...

Wow, when I first started posting here, I never dreamed it would be between my Jayhawks and your Vols for the 1 seed. I hope I'm still welcome here, because Tenessee is my second favorite team and I'm rooting for them all the way to the Final Four! I absolutely agree with Oldblood that the...
