I need 2020s parenting hacks for children of the 60s/70s. Ugh.

@ROCKCHALK2025 so sorry to hear about your wife and inconsistent prognoses. That is brutal. I’ve had a total knee replacement. I can’t imagine dealing with rehab, pain, etc on top of everything else you have on your plate. My heart goes out to you.

@stoptheflop
Yes, that’s a good point. I forget they are still kids.

Also, if he wasn’t using creatine in HS, given the success he had there why start in college? Especially with doses high enough to lead to full body cramps. He already had all of the athletic edge he needed. Athleticism and recovery were not his limiting factors. And presumable any trainer would test pre-existing/natural creatine levels before dosing.

Or, for those of us who are suspicious, what was so bad that to hide it they had to invent a story that makes everyone involved look like a complete moron?

Question for those who know more about this: did Louisville just recruit over Flory? They landed Ekezie a 7-foot rim runner, albeit a young one. I like Flory a lot and wish we still had him (though not at 5M), but I’m not above enjoying the idea that his playing time just decreased.

@wissox83
Ah! That tracks. Reminded me of the view from a spot on the shore in Hyde Park, but it wasn’t quite right — the relationship of the Sears Tower to JH was off.

@wissox83
South side of Chicago?

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.

@RockChalkinTexas-0 great picture. I remember cicada killers growing up in Topeka. I always wondered what it would feel like to get stung by one. Never did find out.

Nice use of frisky. Don’t see that word enough.

I’m happy we got him. However the season turns out next year, it will be interesting and entertaining, possibly maddening as well. If you want to feel a bit better about our situation check out Rupp Rafters

@kjayhawks2.0 sure. Lots of them. Some are even employed.

Thanks for getting this together.

@nuleafjhawk yup. Exactly. Or teachers and journalists (real ones)

@approxinfinity I love both of those posts. Every time we discuss NIL dollars, I think “what about art, scholarship, ….?” The things that really do matter. (And yet I’ve watched 99% of our games from start to finish for many years.)

@Kcmatt7 how about Diggy? Odd example I think, but he killed it at UMD. Not at the level of KU, but impressive.

@approxinfinity baseball and volleyball are not obscure. But Ultimate Frisbee!

@RockChalkinTexas-0 Ha! Is that supposed to make us mad? If the 0.03577% chance of KU v KY in the finals comes to pass, we are definitely going to beat them.

Short piece on regret by Ryan Robertson in the NYT feed today. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7093460/2026/03/07/ryan-robertson-nba-one-game-lesson/?source=athletic_pulsenewsletter&campaign=17086015&userId=11165705

Feels weird to say, but I actually don’t want an extra bye — I’d rather we play and win (of course) and gain another game on KY for the all time wins record.
