This is what being spoiled gets you
Have to say and all know I really get wrapped up in games , I cuss the guys call some names I didn’t even realize I had in my vocabulary lol.
THEN after a cooling off period I realize I’m probably to hard on the kids. Just not use to losing, they have spoiled me - -spoiled us all. I mean 13 Straight yrs of Conference Championships , how many straight weeks in the top 25 ? - How many straight NCAA appearances ? - the last two references holds the record for longest in Nation - - that’s how you get spoiled.
So we have this year , guys just aren’t as good , not as Athletic however were not alone by any means. Here is a little something the other bluebloods suck this yr also, were actually better then some of them. Duke 7-6 and just showed tonight Duke 0-3 against Quad 1 Competition - - o-3 against Quad 2 Competition and has like a 20.5 % chance of even making the Tourney.
This Saturday will mark the 1st time since 1960 that when Duke & North Carolina play one another - - -neither will be ranked.
Look at Kentucky like 6-10 - -they are not making the tourney unless they just go insane - - - Hell Michigan State suck this year too , Michigan St scores 37 points can’t shoot worth a dam - - 37 points against Rutgers - - Tonight the newly ranked # 9 Oklahoma had 18 points at Half against # 10 TT ugly ugly game.
Jerry Palm made a good point on CBS sports , talked about WHY KU was still in the rankings with 6 losses and how they are dropping in the Bracketology but dropping slowly , STILL in their latest bracketology KU is a # FIVE SEED 11-6 on the season and STILL a 5 seed. The Reason ?
KU is 4-5 against Quad 1 opponents big difference. - -just boils down to we are so use to all these wins , some blowouts - -good shooting then we have ONE year of a bad team not super bad but far from what we have had in past and we just can’t seem to comprehend why it feels - looks so bad. The Reason - - Because were just not use to losing, of having this type of season - -just are not use to seeing the guys struggle. It comes from being spoiled - - were KU that just doesn’t happen SPOILED - I know I have realized I have - - I know I’m not the only one here that hasn’t been. – Better times coming - -stay strong my friends, we will get through this. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAB Y

Well Guys this buckets guy glad to be alive tonight/blessed
Well guys, still kinda shook , just thanking GOD giving praise that I’m still here - -still alive. – I was at mu house in my back yard with my dog-- I was sitting on the ground cleaning some steps from all the excess dirt and such for spring when gun fire popped off REALLY CLOSE & i DO MEAN CLOSE the gun shots were so close I actually heard the whizzing of a bullet fly by my head - -dead serious it was that close. I hit the ground laid flat as flat could be and then I heard a shot hit a house. So after they stopped I hollered at my next door Neighbour and elderly lady to see if she had heard them and if she was all right.
She said a round had actually hit her TV in the house , the police was called and they came and investigated found out where the bullet hit and went through the house and hit her TV. she was really lucky as if she had been sitting in her recliner she would of been shot. Police talked to us for awhile and I told them where I thought the shots came from - like 6-7 house down from me on same side of the street.
They said they was going to talk to them , so they did and I looked down and noticed one of the Cruisers was parked Diagonal across our street blocking the street with it’s red and blues on - plus two other units well after awhile they came back to talk more to us and said they had found 19 shell casings - -NINETEEN said they had to come from an AR Assault rifle. they asked if we wanted to press charges and my neighbor and I both said we were afraid of retaliation. they said they understood and didn’t have to decide right now. - -They came back and got my Neighbors TV for evidence going to get the bullet out of the TV Said they had pretty good evidence and something I had no idea they said they could get DNA from the casings - -saying they had to have their fingers on the rounds to load the rifle.
Then I said I was going to check the truck to make sure it was locked up and the wife said to check and make sure our truck hadn’t got hit - - walked around on the passenger side of the truck and sure enough the truck did ge hit, and then there was a round that hit our house too. they said we got lucky that the ruck must of deflected the round up into the top of the house cause if it wouldn’t have it would of went right through the wall and would of hit my wife where she was sitting on the couch - GOD is watching ove us - -very scary just thanking GOD for protecting my wife and me both - I’m am not lying I’m still shook

RE: Are some people EVER happy ? Remember when .
@nuleafjhawk said in Are some people EVER happy ? Remember when .:
@jayballer67 Yes, I agree. I’ll be even happier if there’s some place to park with 5 miles. But - while I’m much happier with our football program, I am totally disgruntled with basketball. Not KU basketball in particular - just all things college basketball. In my mind football isn’t there yet. It will be in a year or two. But NIL and the “portal” have ruined college basketball for me. If we have any good players, they’ll get hurt or get arrested for something. Or they’ll decide they can get a better paying “job” somewhere else and leave mid-season. Sorry - I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer. I just feel that’s a pretty accurate description of things right now. I probably won’t watch a single game next season.
TRUE, Have to agree that the NIL ha ruined College Basketball. I don’t know because it seems I’m talking out both sides of my mouth at the same time.
I mean I think NIL is not good, it is but it isn’t. I think they need some kind of cap because these numbers are insane , just one ig bidding war anymore. How can kids give an loyalty to a School when you have this type of thing ? - -How can fans who just love College Basketball for the game it 'self - -how can they give any love/loyalty to a kid when he is here today - -gone tomorrow.
Having said that with the currentt state of the game NIL Schools like us or any School actually you have to dive in head first , because you don’ your going to be left behind at the Station. It’s a dam if you do- - -dam if you don’t , a true double edge sword. - -Something has to change with it. Don’t sk me what but just can’t keep going this way.
As far s the portal side of things , like I heard/read today the portal after this year it’s going to become a lot harder to recruit from it as your Covid yr will no longer exhist for one. Crazy times

Are some people EVER happy ? Remember when .
Just sitting back and kind of wondering , can you remember when not so long time ago we had disgruntled fans even spewing things out of their mouths about how maybe KU should drop the football program ?
Remember when we struggled , I do mean struggled to even have an eighty five man roster for football ? – how we had to cancel spring game because we didn’t have enough healthy players because of low numbers on the roster? Remember when the team was the laughing stock of College football ? Remember when the Booth was a piece of crap low grade , low class College football Stadium ?
Remember when in football recruiting not that long ago the football staff could hardly get a three star player little lone a four star to return phone calls or allow KU to come in on a home visit and campus visits were a joke ? Remember when some people got asked who they pulled for in College football, the response would always be - -Well I’m a huge KU fan in Basketball but ummm football ? - Well - - -Things have changed/changing.
People use to complain about the quality of players we got - -now that we are getting 3 star and some 4 star - -people still complaining, why aren’t/can’t we get 5 star players. - You had people complain about the Booth , So what we do? - -the renovation of the Booth taking place, people now complaining about the cost - -the reduction in seating. - -Answer to that - -Upgrades take money, Booth is getting huge upgrade. - Have these people complaining have they or are they donating to the fund to help renovate the Booth ? As far as seating - a lot of Stadiums are being reduced capacity . -you want the chance for more seating then show up - - fill the stadium -EVERY WEEK without being coaxed to do so. As far as dropping the program some wanted not that long ago - - You won’t be hearing those people complain about dropping program now.
People use to Wine about the talent of the player , we getting 3 star and some 4 star— some people now bitching/wondering why can’t we get 5 star ?–People bitched about our head Coach’s and ew brig i the guy that has turned this program around drastically, and some still question.
My question to all these things is why ? - -Why are some never satisfied ? - -Always got to complain - -always got to bitch about something - - -anything. My question is, are you THAT miserable ? -Why can’t you just sit back and enjoy the read ? - -why can’t you appreciate Coach L’s dedication , hard work ? - -why can’t you see and appreciate this squads turnaround ? Why can’t you appreciate their work ?- I’ll say this - This KU football team IS NOT the joke of College football now Picked by many to challenge for Conference Championship THIS YR. Ranked in top 25 by many in pre-season polls. - -I guess some can eve just be happy/grateful of what’s coming , enjoy the ride, some just are flat miserable chronic whiners - -I for one am prod to say " YES " I am a football fan of the University of Kansas- - - -ROCK HALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Nah it’s moreso for all the people acting like he’s the goat. He will yet again have the best roster this year and we won’t capitalize in March with a third title. Other coaches maximize top rosters but he seems to struggle with getting them to gel and be ready come tourney time.
Why do you hate watch KU? You do realize that Bill Self the coach you constantly denigrate is the only constant on the team year to year? Maybe pick a different team if you know they will just fail, it seems to make you miserable and you seem to like to share that misery. Perhaps UConn and Danny Hurley is the apple of your eye. I’m sure they need more fans!
Na , dylans buddy Ballin would never pick another team, so don’t get your hopes up. Your 100 % right these other teas that are better he should go – -but like you said he just has a miserable life so he wants to share lol. - Eve heard that saying Misery loves company ? -Well Ballin is the founding father of misery - - just ooze it – sleeps it-- he is like a Bad Dream - he never goes away lol…
Finding out he likes to throw out pointless , meaningless statements that have no value just to get you riled up -let him go Dylans , let him rant , you know , I know he rants to hear himself rant. -No matter what team he roots for-- -he still a miserable individual.
Bottom line Dylan - -Ballin is what w call your CLASSIC TROLL

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@jayballer67 Everyone knows Cal’s a horrible coach and Bill is a good coach. Doesn’t mean Bill hasn’t underachieved with the rosters he’s had.
When Hurley can match u in two years or Scott Drew of all dudes is 1 title away from tying u that isn’t saying much
I’m not even talking about Coach Self right at this moment although Coach Self has done more with less then Cal has, with all his Golden boys. Tells me just Coach develops players much better with less then others do with more…
Why don’t you talk to the people who votes Coach into the Hall of fame of what they think of Coach’s ability/ -No need to come back lame and talk about Hurey right now - -Is Hurley in the hall of fame ? - Not right now he isn’t is he? - might be later but not now he isn’t . - Let’s see oh ya Drew – is DREW in the hall of fame ?- - umm nope, maybe later but not now.
It has to due with consistency of a program for one - - - -Bill has constantly had KU in the top 25 Yr, after yr , after yr - -how many straight weeks now – - How many Big 12 championships did Coach lead KU to straight ? -THAT is NOT LUCK. 13 yrs straight is not luck— -it’s consistency .
Ya Hurley has had a stretch now is it consistent ? --we don’t know. - Bill has been consistent for over 20 yrs – -not 5 or 6 years. Why is it a lot of other Coach’s talk so highly of Self ? - -sure the hell isn’t luck - -The winning percentage he has had in the Phog - - is Not luck. - -We have won consistently with really talented clubs - - -we have won with ehh ok teams. - -Those teams where Coach’s ability has won the most.
I’m not even begin to go over AGAIN like others have tried to mention to you about all the things that go into winning a National Championship - So many factors. – How many other top notch blue bloods have done more then Bill’s teams - -I said bluebloods. winning back to back – just don’t happen, ya U Conn -and yet U Conn is not a blue blood - - - not a TRUE BLUEBLOOD. - -They have had a stretch of maybe 6 years. - -a true blood your looking at 15-20 yrs of top Basketball. Not sure if any maybe one of the true blue bloods won back to back - - UCLA with Kareem right ? – -Coack K didn’t I don’t believe - - a lot and I mean a lot has to go your way to do that. Bill must be doing something right or he wouldn’t have the type of success he has had over the years.
You don’t want to believe me - - like what I have to say – I don’t care , ain’t no sweat of my n - - - -. You think he has under achieved? - -Talk to his Peers , Talk to the analysts , talk to other teams former players - - talk to his former players – see what they say - -your not gonna like the answers

@BShark That year no doubt Self didn’t have AD but trob and Tyshawn ect were legit.
What I’m saying is he has a top 1-3 roster every single year and we are constantly ranked number 1/2/3 all these years and he’s got 2 titles to show for it. Anyone not think through that?
ONE MORE TIME , let me try and slow this down for you so you can understand. - -You say Self has got 2 titles with all these top 1-3 rosters every single year , can throw that right back at you Calipari had all these # 1 ranked- -# 2ranked recruiting classes -even top 5 classes practically EVERY YEAR na dhow many titles does Calipari how many did he have at Kentucky - -You not think through that -holy crap man wake up. Calipari has had better rosters almost every year over Ku according to services and has done nothing with them - - Shows who can Coach better and develop better better classes or not. Dam man
