@bskeet Speaking of posters...

How to write good

1. Avoid Alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. They’re old hat.
4. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
5. Be more or less specific.
6. One should never generalize.
   Seven: Be consistent!
7. Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
8. Who needs rhetorical questions?
9. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Buca and Flory

I find Shaka Smart pretty punchable. Was Jalen Wilson the KU player he was talking shit to a couple of years ago? He's a smug douchebag. Glad he's not in our conference any more.

@wissox83 Their combined 12-13 from the line helped.

@wissox83

Shut up Fran. Still annoying, even when he's not calling our game.

Reportedly, Bill Self has said that Melvin Council has been "hands down" the MVP of the team so far. Thoughts?

Personally, I like Melvin a lot but I would give the nod to Tre.

Flory got 2 fouls the first 2 minutes, but none the rest of the game. He played all 20 minutes of the 2nd half and all 5 minutes of overtime, without fouling. That's encouraging.

@wissox83 these takes are killing me. Im glad we all care. And variety is the spice of life. But seriously, there have been many players where if we got what we got from DP in 20 for their 30-35 we would have been stoked. This feels to me like a “this is different, so it must be bad” reaction, but we just won 4 games in a row by healthy margins. Team chemistry is good. Other players are stepping up when needed. We should be happy with this team right now, imo, very much including DP.

We finally got to see how awesome this team can be when everybody is on, and contributing, in the first half. I was actually thinking, holy crap, we have a hell of a team that could really make a run in March, now that everybody is back and healthy. I really thought these health issues were behind us. So it was just very disappointing when we realized late in the 2nd half that the situation hasn't changed. We can't rely on DP.

I don't blame him. I'm grateful we got to see such a fantastic display the first half from our entire team. But the 2nd half was a surprising disappointment. And people respond to disappointment differently.

We have a great team without DP, but we are frickin' awesome with him. I'm really enjoying this season, watching everybody come together. I love all 4 of our reliable regular starters - 3 have been a very pleasant surprise. We expected Flory would be a beast; Tre and Melvin are studs with experience, and the one freshman starter is finally growing into his potential. I'm going to enjoy the rest of the season with these guys. But man, DP is something else. He really elevates this team. We could have a special season if we could count on him.

So I am certainly happy with our team. I just fear it will end up as an "if only" kind of season. I'll enjoy it regardless. But if only Lucy would let Charlie Brown finally kick that football...

Rosario!

@wissox83 Apparently they also do it at basketball games, when they don't suck. So it's rare there

I grew up in Kansas and still didn't know about it. Probably reflects how much time I spend paying attention to our little sister school.

Now that I understand Melvin's little dance at the end of the game was mocking a cherished K-State tradition, I'm even more amused, and an even greater fan.

@patoh3

@stoptheflop I really hope you won't be focused on the UFL for at least 2 more weeks

I'm no interior designer, but those pink lanes sure seem incongruous with the giant Jayhawk in the middle of the floor.

That's a pretty positive review by Self.

@approxinfinity said in Darryn Peterson:

@BeddieKU23 I definitely agree with everyone that we want to see him as a full participant asap. It just hasnt been a problem yet. But at some point it will be.

I think it's a problem now.

@Jayhawk_69 said in Darryn Peterson:

My guess is that DP plays in the first half and sits almost the entire second half

Good call.

Flory needs to be more aggressive

Like that!

Must look different on different devices.
