Adjust KU's record last year tbh
So if KU was 6-6 last season, I assume KU still would have passed on a bowl game. I don't understand why so many teams refused to play in the available bowl games even though they were the lower tier bowls. I always thought the entire goal each season was to play in a bowl game; it gave teams more days of practice and exposure to recruits. But, the portal seems to have changed my favorite sport for good.
Best wishes to Darryn for a great career with the Utah Jazz. I don't follow the NBA but I remember Greg Ostertag (now Mayor Ostertage) playing there.
The NBA draft is just about here. I hope DP gets the team he really wants to play with. Tues 7pm eastern we will finally find out
Me too. I can't believe Bean is playing against the team he started the season with
#8 batter 3 run homer for WV; #9 batter HR. WV looking good. Lots of fans at the game.
Good grief: WVa plays today at 11; WV may be in the World Series before KU plays its first game.
I assume Oklahoma fans will be good sports this weekend. I've been to football games in Norman and I was impressed with the OU fans. No hatred or catcalling like KSt and Mizzou. I think its always tough to sit close to opposing fans which happens at Hoglund.
OK OU won. So KU gets a Super Regional?
W Virg sure has a nice stadium. It looks like a minor league field and stadium. And it sure looks like dirt on the mound and base paths.
I didn't realize the entire field, including the pitching mound and batters box is synthetic. Batters no longer get to rub out the lines for the batters box and pitchers don't get to rub dirt on whatever. I wonder how the lack of dirt affects runners sliding? Fans no longer get to eat a little dust on windy days.
Thanks again to the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record for keeping me updated on the NCAA Regional in Lawrence. The Ark v. Northwestern game is noon today and can been seen on ESPNU, ESPN+ and Fubu, free trial. I assume team offense will increase since teams will reach deep into the bullpen for pitchers. I sure wish I lived closer to Lawrence to enjoy an afternoon and evening of Jayhawk baseball.
ESPN has KU playing at 5pm Sunday. So, Ark must play Northeastern earlier today and the winner plays two games today? Yesterday's game was great fun, but baseball is stil too slow for me to watch every second of the game.
ESPN has Ark favored -166. So I guess Ark will beat KU by 166 runs, right?
@crimsonblu22 Thanks for the update. I'm stuck with what the ESPN+ announcers tell me.
Crafty Arkansas held back its best pitcher, Hunter Dietz to start against KU, according to the Fort Smith Southwest Times Record. (Does anyone still read newspapers?) Let's hope the Jayhawk bats are hot today.
I thought it was great to see Bill Self in the stands. Hey, Lance where were you? I loved seeing all the young children in the stands. Baseball was the only sport kids played when I grew up. Baseball and kickball.
I really like that KU has kept the baseball diamond on campus. Of course it's been upgraded since I passed by it on my way to classes in 1978; then it was just the diamond and bleachers with about 6 rows of seating. Even though I read the UDK daily, I was surprised by the occasional afternoon game when I was walking by after classes. I wonder if any homerun bombs have hit McCarthy?
