Chiefs are likely the leading team for Travis Ettienne. Would be a great fit.

Lots of bad calls, but turnovers and bad shooting would still have us down by dbl digits. That, fortunately, is more within our control.

@JoJoAndMe said in KU @ Arizona St 8pm CT:

@wissox83 His draft stock has plummeted.

No. Latest aggregate mock draft (Mar. 2 compiled by Hoops Hype) still has DP #1:

"...from ESPN, NBADraft.net, CBS Sports, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, Babcock Hoops, SB Nation, USA Today Sports and No Ceilings."

I only use Facebook for information sharing for our neighborhood and a timeshare we own. Both private groups. I only have 1 "friend", my wife. I get some things like Reels in my feed (always deleted) and zero ads. If you don't click on crap they send you less.

@wissox83 Trick question, huh?
@rockchalkintexas-0 BINGO!

Wilt had zero 20+ point games his freshman year in Div 1 because he wasn't eligible. He averaged over 29 pts his soph year ('56-'57 when KU lost in final in 2 (3?) OT), and 30+ pts his junior year ('57-58, when KU didn’t make the tourney). No individual game box scores I could find, but he likely had more 20+ games than <20 games in his KU career.

@Jayhawk_69 Just to clarify: I didn't say details mean a story is credible. I said lies can seem credible when backed up with details. The inability to test a story like this one (by asking questions) makes it hard to test the truthfulness.

@benshawks08 said in Fran wowlly Wow say it isn't so Buddy lmao:

Ok I just listened to it. A LOT of detail in the story. I was extremely skeptical his reading about it but after hearing the guy’s story… I don’t know…

Details make lies seem credible. Knowing this helped a lot when I was judging commodity fraud cases and asked lots of questions to evaluate witness credibility. The liars practiced their stories but they usually only had surface details, no depth to follow-ups. ( I had lots of fun because any lawyer will tell you cross-examination is the best part of being in a trial! Often the witnesses and their lawyers--if any--got all flustered because they had never heard of judges doing the questioning to both sides. Sometimes back and forth. Our rules expressly allowed it.) (BTW, it isn't an apreciated strategy in family discussions...as most lawyers usually find out the hard way. )

Additional info in this quote from NBC's site Pro Football Talk (not the podcast):

"The situation also potentially impacts Rice’s probation resulting from the street-racing incident. The agreement was announced in July; if any potential abuse occurred after the five-year period of probation commenced, he could face an argument that he violated the terms of his probation."

Quoted from the Atlantic, an article about a lawsuit Rice's former girlfriend filed arising from the alleged abuse she previously publicized:

*The lawsuit alleges that Rice and Jones previously lived together at homes in the Victory Park area of Dallas and Lee’s Summit, Mo. In the suit, Jones says that Rice strangled her during a December 2023 incident in Victory Park. The lawsuit also alleges that between 2023 and 2025, Rice “grabbed, choked, strangled, pushed, thrown, scratched, hit and headbutted Ms. Jones, as well as hit her with inanimate objects.”

Jones also says in her lawsuit that Rice engaged in other violent behaviors, including “throwing objects, destroying property, punching walls, and breaking furniture, as well as locking her out in the middle of the night.” The lawsuit alleges that many of those incidents took place while Jones was pregnant.*

Tonight DP was 1st one back on defense...except when he got that offensive board.

@approxinfinity And that's on a 10 pt scale!

"I wonder if ISt fans will stay classy...."

Definitely assumes a fact not in evidence.

@approxinfinity Are you optimistic about having reasons to be optimistic? When I need a dose of optimism to avoid retreating to a 20-year hideout in an underground shelter, I look at my wife (of 26½ years today!) and realize that she is always a ray of sunshine and hope.

Happy Valentines Day, everybody!

@Jayhawk_69 Same here, mostly because they give me an idea about teams I don’t follow that might warrant paying more attention to.

@Tallturd1 said in 2026 Playoffs:

Nixon had Elvis, in all his regalia, in the Oval office. Now it's Kid Rock and Trump. Any thoughts about who's next? Ted Cruz and ? AOC and ?

Sorry, Nixon believed in diversity (hugging Sammy Davis Jr.! omg!) and would be persona non grata at "patriotic" concerts now.

@Gorilla72 Barstool Arizona is the source? They rank up there in credibility with Brittanica, NE Journal of Medicine, and Sports Illustrated of the golden age (1960s-1990s)?

@BShark Maybe I'm a bit paranoid...that's more than me. And I ain't just talkin' bb players!

Bryce is redshirting this year, I believe.

The Royals' fun little (5'7") speedster who stole bases and our admiration in 2014 and 2015 died at 34 years old of complications from routine surgery. ‍

KU's past is as checkered as any "northern" school. Here is an article with Prof Bill Tuttle discussing the subject in 2014: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://flatlandkc.org/news-issues/separate-equal-ku-professor-explores-universitys-complicated/&ved=2ahUKEwiyzPnix8WSAxWymSYFHSjkFB4QFnoECB0QAQ&usg=AOvVaw0dY-Ad0D-wlGo7tgSBQ_CW. (Tuttle was my prof for my history senior thesis in 1978...loved that guy!)

Here is an article about John McClendon, a Hall of Fame coach denied the opportunity to play at KU in the '30s because blacks weren't allowed to play until 1951: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McLendon
