RE: For @RockchalkinTexas
I wasn’t expecting to well up in tears for someone I hadn’t personally met, but I did. I’ve been to four funerals of friends and family this year and was able to stay composed, but this hit me harder than expected. @RockChalkinTexas apparently holds a special place in my heart. I enjoy my bucketteers; don’t any of you dare leave!
Everyone stay safe and healthy as possible this holiday season!!!

RE: What is the worst that could happen?
Worst case scenario- KU in line for the number one overall seed, plays no games due to a pandemic. Leaving nothing but what if’s for all.

RE: Looks like Oubre should have stayed another year..
@BeddieKU23 Yes, Kelly should’ve stayed another year, but I’m still upset that Paul Pierce left early.

RE: DeSousa
I love that Bill Self is being blamed for tuning out a roster devoid of post talent and yet his team is playing the best basketball in the nation, undefeated, and ranked #2.
The warts will show, but Bill is doing a masterful job once again.

RE: Marcus Adams
Wow. Hope he figures life out quickly. He’s blowing a couple once in a lifetime opportunities.

RE: Chiefs
As a Chiefs fan, Mahomes is payback for watching other teams do that to our D for years.

Happy anniversary!
Just realized Buckets turned 10 years old last October!!! Thanks to all who have helped make this site entertaining!

RE: ISU Loss: The Good, The Bad, And The ... Positive
Win at all costs and the fans cry about not looking to the future. Sit Cliff and lose tonight with an eye on the future and fans cry. It’a a good thing KU basketball coach isn’t an elected position. The man has done nothing but win games at a historic rate. KU is 14-3 with a freshman and sophomore dominated line-up in what has been the hardest schedule in the nation. I’m estatic with the win loss record, but think there is much room for improvement in play. That’s what has me excited, KU will be better in March and even better next year.
If Bill manages to win the conference title this year it will be quite the feat with 8 teams in a 10 team conference having been ranked in the top 25. That means 8 teams have been rated in the top 7% of all college basketball. KU will have to earn this championship!

RE: Doke
5th year Ochai is more valuable than freshman Ochai will be. This team needs to figure its own problems out. There is no savior in waiting.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Is the assumption that the Florida guy will clear academically? Or not?

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 It was a direct quote that I’m paraphrasing from very early in his Kansas tenure. Not going to do the research, I’d guess it was a KC Star or LJW article.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@kuballin10 Yeah I’m excited about Wiley too. Boom or bust I suppose, but a 4th rounder is not much of a gamble.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@kuballin10 who’s your horse? Worthy vs the field? I’d take the field too if I lived misery, but that’s just an odds play.
I’m betting on Worthy to ball out as he has the skill set to do well in this offense. Mecole Hardman had 800 yard recording in college and was a converted DB. Worthy had 2500 and was a true #1 receiver. Not a good comp.
Whiffing on DK was due to Hill drama and needing a speedy replacement - panic move and a bad one. No need to panic this go around.

RE: Tornados
@nuleafjhawk I always enjoyed watching people freak out in Lawrence over 40mph wind, in all honesty it’s funny as hell as that’s a nearly weekly occurrence here during the spring.
Seen many a tornado. The odds of one actually hitting your house is so infinitely small it’s not really a concern -plus I have a basement and good insurance. If there is a tornado in all likelihood all I will experience is hail, wind, and rain.
Usually in a nasty storm it’s better to go outside and see what’s coming than hunker down all scared in the basement. But I live in an area with zero hills and very few trees that weren’t planted. If you can see them they really aren’t that scary, just be prepared.
During the most recent local tornado I was out in a few wheat fields working. I lost the pictures or I’d post there here, was an impressive cone.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 The funny thing is Bill Self himself has said he recruits guys who can shoot/score and worries about the defense once they get on campus. Not sure what your argument is, unfortunately you can only work with the guys who show up. Recruiting isn’t like shopping, it’s a two way street, Bill doesn’t just point and get what he wants.

RE: Tornados
I mean what’s a spring without 80-100 mph wind? Happens a couple times a year in western Kansas. Removes the weak structures and dead branches from trees. Ugg - know someone who’s houses (x2) got completley leveled by tornados on back to back nights. First one was in Greenburg, the second was their farm house south of town. Always thought that put it in perspective.
The coolest thing I can remember associated with a tornado was over our farm there was volleyball size hail. It went thru roofs of vehicles and trailer houses. Dad’s pickup had a hail stone hit the windshield so hard it pushed a phone book into the dash. The fields around there looked like the surface of the moon with up to 10” craters from the hail - when running a tractor across it with sweeps the compaction from the hail was enough to make the implement sway back and forth.
That said I would love some rain even if it comes with tornados and hail. This drought is getting bleak. And I need a new roof.

JT Toppin is intriguing, but the 4 sounds locked down.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark …wait there is luck involved in a single elimination tournament with 68 participants? Nah. Matchups don’t matter, college players are dead consistent. I don’t know why they even bother playing the game the outcome is pre-determined, KenPom nails it every year due to the consistency across the sport.
