@stoptheflop I hated seeing him leave the Bears.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Interesting. I don't know much about him. I wonder how many championships he won?

So will KU play all of its home games in Lawrence this year?

3-1 record after a nice win over Kent State. Utah Valley out west and then home against Tulsa next Sunday. Should be looking at a 5-1 record in a week and a fairly high ranking.

Hot start had the ladies ranked 12th after a 7 Nil demolition of Miss. St. Went to Columbus today and played 19th ranked Buckeyes and lost a close one 1 nil.

Looks like they'll be a solid squad again this year.

@crimsonblu22 Phog sounds like some of the students I've taught!

@crimsonblu22 No happily retired and with school just starting it now feels like it! How about you?

Cool, will have to watch later. But in Kansas history doesn't seem to be all of KU history just this current century!

I don't follow pro football at all when baseball season is going so I missed that the Bears signed Cobee Bryant until he was in the news this week with a knee injury and surgery keeping him out possibly for the entire season. On the other hand they have optimism for Austin Booker to keep being a reliable guy on the defensive line.

Nice summary of the preseason.

@Hawk69 RCJH was right, all of them were on Larry Browns staff at KU.

@bskeet That was my building as a geography major. Enjoyed my time there greatly. Math forced me to abandon my plans to become a cartographer!

@rockchalkjayhawk Amazing isn't it? Maybe the greatest assemblage of basketball coaching talent ever.

I'm sure some of you will know this but what do Bill Self, Calipari, Greg Popovich all have in common?

@rockchalkjayhawk It's Wilt. It's like in Sunday School, the teacher asked a kid a question and the kid had no clue. His friend whispered "just say Jesus", that's usually the answer, so it's Wilt.

@kjayhawks2.0 I can't rewatch those painful losses. 86, 03, when the refs tried to help us!, and 2015 which is just about my favorite single college team ever.

Upon my morning perusings on the WWW I've had occasion to become all outraged again over the Duke Whistle. From our viewpoint it started at the Final Four in 1986 and our great team had the chance to win a title stolen by a 26-14 foul count against Duke. It's only been 40 years! I think the soothing memory of '88 helps, but it still stings.

In 1991 we played Duke in the final and while it maybe doesn't sting as much because that wasn't our greatest team, Duke did shoot 28 FTs while we shot 8 in that game. To be fair, we played Duke also in the 88 FF and refs called 19 on them and 16 on us, but they shot more FTs than we did.

In the 1992 Final Four Indiana played defending champ Duke. Duke was the favorite but needed a boost of 4 IU guys fouling out and a 5th having 4. 33-18 was the foul count plus a tech against Bobby Knight from Teddy valentine. Early in the 2nd half IU star Damon Bailey was whistled twice in 4 seconds giving him 4 fouls. Then he got hammered on a layup and no call. Ted was standing right next to knight, some say on purpose, and when the bench jumped up Bob got nailed. Duke wins by 3 while shooting 42 FTs compared to IU's paltry total of 16. No bueno.

It's still too soon to talk 2015 from my unique perspective, but that was pretty bad as well.

The strange thing to me is I've never disliked Duke players. Maybe it's the ivy league nature of that school, maybe their admission standards are higher than many other elite programs. Duke generally has had likable guys. But the guy on the sideline just really turns stomachs to so many.

Fun fact. Since 2002 KU and Duke both have 2 titles. They're not outperforming us. They should have a lot more but we have just as many because we've kept players on campus while so many of there's have left after 1 year. Their loss.

I wonder what other teams feel victimized by the coach K whistle?

Summer league means nothing in predicting a players success does it? Not saying DP won't be successful, but we've gushed over KU guys a lot because in a silly league game they scored 23 with 12 boards and then not even make the team.
