Re: KU vs UNCW Game Thread

yea. And it gives us more of a traditional forward sort of piece on both ends - paint scoring, boreds, rim protection. Limited sample size for stats, but he's averaging the same PPG and more rebounds and blocks in less than half the minutes of our starter KJ. KJ still does a lot of good things for ...

Re: KU vs UNCW Game Thread

any word on Flory? Head coach Bill Self, however, assuaged any concerns about Bidunga’s status postgame, suggesting he’d be off the ankle for a couple days but “hopefully be practicing by Friday” — and he could even have returned to play on Tuesday in a particularly competitive set of circumstances. ...

Re: Recruiting

I didn't realize Self had "only" 11 30+ win seasons. seems like more. But that's a good point. Also a good point we're likely to get more and more games per season. It's always trended that way. if we use Self's time at Kansas (which is prob a better indicator of what he can do going forward rather ...

It's the nonsense misinformation that we see Ousdahl repeat over and over (and over and over) here that pushed that voter turnout number down as low as it was.
I'm very intrigued by this.

Re: We lost the battle for the democrat party's soul long ago

Whatever generation "today" is just always thinks they have it the hardest despite the fact that they have more handed to them, more technology to support them and more opportunity available to them than any previous generation. Same old, same old. with messaging like this, gee I wonder why the ...

Re: We lost the battle for the democrat party's soul long ago

of course! But as cynical as I am, I also wonder if it's too cynical to think elections can only be won with misinformation. But I'm also a dreamer enough to wonder if an election could still be won the old-fashioned way: with the right combo of a likable candidate with an appealing platform. Stay ...

Re: Recruiting

He's 61. Coaching until he is 70 isn't super unrealistic, but I'd be surprised if he goes much past that. it's an interesting thought. K went to 75. And the carrot on the stick for Self is, coaching that long very well may allow him to surpass K, in terms of things like total wins. Self just hit ...

Re: Israel/Palestine

I'd rather Trump/our own government not be cozy to ANY "terrorists." And yea, there should be a distinction between Jewish people and Israelis, and Zionists. At least that's what my Jewish friends have told me. So, I guess to answer the question, I'll choose no terrorists. As for the question of ...

Re: We lost the battle for the democrat party's soul long ago

Which progressive state did he win? I thought he dropped out. But I get what you mean - dems and Kamala. She won the "deep blue states," sure. And yea, Trump won because of swing states, sure. But swing states can be expected to...well, swing. I think the more telling shift may be, demographic ...

The chances are low we ever see a Dajuan/Diggy/Moore lineup especially with the wings we have.

But with Self, the chances are never gonna be zero...

Re: KU vs UNCW Game Thread

my Jayhawk buddy/roomie from KU - oh, let's just call him, Deve Stoyel - is blowing me up with texts about how much KJ sucks and our best lineup is subbing him for Storr and as soon as we do we go on a run
