I will once again say Melvin would be a perfect addition to this group And also say it isn’t happening but a man has to have hopes and dreams in this life

Today we honor all those that gave the ultimate gift so that we can have the liberties I cherish. I fly my flag in their memory. Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2026 KU Season: Not thrilled to see Arkansas in KU's region given how KU has done against them in the postseason in various sports in recent years. I keep thinking, "Okay, this time we'll show 'em!" And then, well, not so much....

@RockChalkinTexas-0 We had quite a bit of excess land. But it became a burden more than anything. Paying taxes on it, and we were in a bad agreement with some farmers from before I was born. Sold it quite a ways back. Definitely took some losses in the 2008 recession but at the time safe stock plays seemed smart. In hindsight, would have been better to do anything else with the money.

@benshawks08 this is a fantastic underexplored point: all season long many of assumed that the reason the team had no chemistry with DP was because they deferred to him and that time would solve this problem (if we were optimistic) or that DP was a prima donna, or everyone else on the team was a midmajor wuss and thats why the chemistry wasnt there (if we were not). But maybe in actuality they were all worried for the kid or weirded out by the situation. Maybe no amount of extra time on the court was going to fix it because the lack of an explanation hung over every play. This makes way more sense than assuming there was something wrong with individual personalities regarding the lack of a cohesive team identity.

@Jayhawk_69 not seeing it. https://notes.noteflight.com/online-masterclass-with-acclaimed-video-game-composer-chance-thomas/

@approxinfinity As usual, you have the stats! And, they are dramatic,

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs offseason thread: "He's the best part-time stupid receiver KC sometimes has." Just a little edit for completeness!

NCAA likely to fight that one since he declared for the draft and didn't withdraw (and this isn't an international prospect situation). Always a chance it doesn't hold up in court, but the NCAA has been consistent that players are no longer eligible after that so I feel like like it is a long shot that RJ is eligible when this is all played out.

@kjayhawks2.0 I saw that (originally) in the movie theater with all colors of folk in attendance. And everyone was laughing equally hard. People are too dang sensitive these days.

Adjust KU's record last year tbh

He hasn’t won a Championship, but he’s won an mvp and just won a series against the hated (by Philly) Celtics. They’ve built a good team around him. Now his body has to hold up. Which I doubt it will, but we’ll see. I watched a good part of the 3-3, next game decides series game against the Celtics. I figured they ought to be playing hard to win that one. I wasn’t disappointed. Great game. And Embiid played well.

Happy Mother’s Day everyone!!

@patoh3 said in KState Game: I hope they can bear him. He was Scott Drew's version of Kurtis Townsend until he took the KSU job.

Swept KC

@stoptheflop And he dropped a sure TD in the end zone today. Bean has been traded to the end of the bench in DC behind last year's championship QB and MVP.

Boy, things are really slow on this site . . . so I thought I'd share a story. Back in 1996, UMKC was looking for a new basketball coach. For "political" reasons, they formed a search committee. The committee of 24 had nothing to do with the selection, but it made a good cover. I was on the committee. We interviewed the three finalists: Mark Turgeon, Mike Anderson (who went on to head coach at Arkansas) and Bob Sundvold. Sundvold was the choice of the AD, probably because he had coached under Norm Stewart at Misery and had "taken the fall" for Norm over NCAA violations. The interview with Turgeon was memorable. I asked what I thought was a great question: "You've been an assistant to three great coaches. What did you learn from each of them?" Turgeon responded as though he had prepared for my question. "Coach Brown is the greatest in-game coach in the game. After almost every timeout, he'd come down to me as ask, 'Turg, what would you have done?' Coach Williams is exceptionally well organized. He taught me how to organize my day; how to organize practices. And Coach Green taught me how to deal with the media." Turgeon was well prepared and had a great interview. The other great question during that interview was "Coach Turgeon, what kind of players will you recruit?" Turgeon answered, "I'll recruit players who can shoot. I can teach them my offense, and I can teach them how to play defense. But I can't teach them how to shoot." Very memorable.
