When I was in HS rushing fraternities at KU, my eventual frat took me and friends to see strippers. It was appalling, I never got over the degradation. I think the campus IFC made them take down the 1993 photo composite off the wall. [Reply]
Will self give any consideration to playing doke and de Sousa at the same time, or is that not even a consideration. I get they could get winded at the same time, but then you'd have Lightfoot to sub. I just can't help but think a lineup of Graham, Newman, svi, de Sousa and doke would give just about any college program fits. [Reply]
I want to see Derrick Neal (KU safety) as a invited walk on. The kid beat Jay Williams in a game of one-on-one the other day.
Apparently Jay Williams plays pick up basketball at every college gameday stop with students who will challenge him, and had never lost until the other day.

Goal of sports is to do things legendary. Do things that have never been done. Plus it's not an either or. If you win the conference title, you put yourself in position to have the best chance to succeed in the post season. I feel like we rehash this all the time. I really think it's just jealousy of other fan bases when they attempt to belittle and discredit KU's amazing conference title streak. [Reply]
There was quite a stir after the Mountaineers blew a double-digit lead in a loss to Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence. West Virginia coach Bob Huggins was tossed after vociferously pointing out to the officials that the free throw disparity, which was 35-2 at the end of the game. Many fans and others around the basketball community pointed to the disparity as clear evidence that something was wrong. Well, I sat courtside for that game, and there was nothing wrong. Were there some missed calls? Yes. Did the officials miss the call that was the last straw for Huggins? Yes. I watched the game again, and there were about 15 calls that should have or could have been called. But nine of those calls should have or could have gone against West Virginia, including an offensive basket interference call against the Mountaineers that went uncalled and resulted in a bucket. Free throw disparity is a function of style of play and how teams play on that day. West Virginia settled for a lot of jump shots, while Kansas drove the ball into the lane and punched the ball into its big guy, Udoka Azubuike. West Virginia presses and fouls more than most teams, and it allows more free throws by opponents than all but 13 Division I teams. Kansas does not play pressure defense, and it is in the top 20 in Division I in allowing the fewest free throws. The officials made some mistakes, yes. But the officials did not cost West Virginia the game. The Mountaineers did that all by themselves. [Reply]

So, you come here to troll, then create your RR Royals thread because "crybabies" and not you being a trolling douchebag got you booted from the real thread? [Reply]
