KU closes out the rout.

Rock Chalk

Dynamitehawk

Yes. Looking at Hudeys boobie$ is like climbing the rope in gym class. It's settled.

Phogadvisory in reply to MDL/kuae99

He couldn't teach them how to be basketball players, so he figured he'd teach them how to be Jets. {insert snapping here}

Melrank

Nick's buying now - good for you, Jesse.

MDL/kuae99

This doesn't look like a Gillespie team. Weird floor conduct.

KUFanSince1975 in reply to KUFanSince1975

No pancakes!

Coldcoffee

Pancakes are toast!

Lajayhawk in reply to Dynamitehawk

Climb the rope in gym class and get that "funny" feeling?

Mrpilot

How dumb was that....

KUFanSince1975

I feel sorry for you, Nick!

Dynamitehawk in reply to Lajayhawk

A hint. Enough to make me want to do some squats, and spend 30 mins on the treadmill. Strange.

Lajayhawk

BTW, where did this red-hot Naadir Tharpe come from??

Cshjhawk in reply to Jesse Newell

Nice stack Tharpe!

Phogadvisory in reply to Mrpilot

In all fairness, Tech fans, they were probably tumbleweed pancakes. Gross.

Badhaasejayhawk

No pancakes :(

Melrank

Pancakes are Tharped!

Lajayhawk

Tharpe! The pancake killer!!!!

Mrpilot

YESSS!!!!! No pancakes for YOU!

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff

Tharpe, the pancake fiend.

Mistroth

big possesion

Danr

No pancakes for YOU, Tech!

Melrank

Pancakes are looking doable.

Brooksmd in reply to Melrank

I'm going to IHOP and send Jesse the tab.

KUFanSince1975 in reply to Melrank

Wow, licking my chops!

Lajayhawk in reply to Dynamitehawk

Did it show boobage?

Jeremy Wilhelm in reply to KUFanSince1975

They eeked out a win which is nothing to sneeze at, but I'll reserve my judgement until we play them...

Melrank in reply to Dynamitehawk

Caught me.

Melrank in reply to Phogadvisory

Jesse promised all of the posters free pancakes if we could make it to the end of the game.

Dynamitehawk

If you can tell me you weren't looking down Hudey's blouse, then you are a better man than me.

Lajayhawk

Do we know what kind of pancakes? Buttmilk? Potato? Leprechaun?

KUFanSince1975 in reply to Jeremy Wilhelm

Baylor looked good at the Doom---just sayin'.

Mrpilot

I really want Junebug to score the 80th point. It would be like an elbow to the face of all the Tech fans.

Kesmithstl1

c'mon Tharpe. Put Taylor in? Why isn't he playing?

Jeremy Wilhelm in reply to Mistroth

And they were in range against Baylor... Just saying.

Badhaasejayhawk in reply to Mrpilot

Yes but no butter or syrup

Lajayhawk

I think Shoeless Joe Jackson was paid in pancakes.

Mrpilot in reply to Phogadvisory

If we score less than 80 points, the Texas Tech fans all get free pancakes...or something.

Badhaasejayhawk

Icthawkfan316

that was a weird-looking espnU logo trying to make it texas tech-like

Phogadvisory

Okay, just got on. What's the story behind the pancakes?

Lajayhawk in reply to Altercations_with_a_shovel

You know, the promotion would make more sense if they gave KU free pancakes.... would that be considered point shaving? If you got pancakes for it?

Melrank in reply to Jesse Newell

Gulfstream?

Inspiring kid with the ear implants...

Altercations_with_a_shovel

Tharpe = hates free pancakes

B to the P

Tharpe was 1/13 before tonight? wow.. I must be remembering the exhibition games :P

Lajayhawk

Boom. Bring the Naadir.

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff in reply to KUFanSince1975

Flight. Thank goodness. It's a long drive.

Cansas in reply to Cansas

oops 36

Dnvrhawk in reply to Cansas

wow. Thanks

Melrank in reply to Jesse Newell

3/4

Mistroth

tech is the worst team in the big 12 its not even close

Ia4jayhawk

Well, this game is in the books. On to the Correctional Facility Cyclones!

KUFanSince1975

Jesse, who drove the vehicles? Tom? Or do you have a hired driver?

Cansas in reply to Dnvrhawk

73 26 4:06

B to the P

there has to be a ref conspiracy against J-Wes.. he gets every call against him, and he can't be that prone

Dnvrhawk

what's the score and the time left? Thanks.

Melrank

3 Seconds? That's BS - Ref just wants to pocket his per diem and get pancakes!

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff

Odds that Wesley will foul out? He has three fouls now.

Melrank

Play some defense for Texas Tech.

KUFanSince1975

June bug! Keep the elbows in!

Danr

I love pancakes... How do I get them?

Cshjhawk

Nice pass Conner!

Lajayhawk in reply to Ia4jayhawk

Trying to push up his numbers for POY consideration....

Cansas in reply to Brooksmd

Glad its not just me. I played around with the PIP at half, and it never recovered.

Mistroth in reply to Melrank

yes he still feels it

KUFanSince1975 in reply to Melrank

One needs to bring the ear plugs, or is that at an AC/DC concert?

Dynamitehawk

Need to go to confession for this.. I could probably sign 45% of Tech the timeout tirades with my middle finger.

Ia4jayhawk

Get T-Rob out of there. Unless Bill wants to ruin pancakes for the TT faithful

Cansas in reply to Sportdan30

I logged in just to agree, or rather see if people were talking about that. No reason to keep running up the score, get the guys out of there.

Lajayhawk

Come on! Get TRob to his 20 points!

Melrank

If you're deaf, does the AFH crowd not intimidate you?

Melrank

Our offense was Soccer-like the first 15 minutes.

KUFanSince1975

Drove in New Mexico one time---I think I had seen enough Yucca plants to last a lifetime.

Kumatt2001

With Releford's flops I thought I was watching a soccer game

Sportdan30

The starters should not be in

Lajayhawk in reply to Jesse Newell

I have to dodge tumbleweeds all the time out here. If you drive over them, they get lodged in all sorts of places in your car.

Dynamitehawk

Wow.

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff in reply to Altercations_with_a_shovel

Now, about 50. Earlier, about 20-25.

Danr

I missed the pancake deal... What's up with that?

Melrank

I'm assuming all those banners are for Women's BB.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKWaNv... Worth the watch!!

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff in reply to Ia4jayhawk

I swear, we were driving today, and a tumbleweed blew in front of us. I didn't knew they existed out of western movies.

Altercations_with_a_shovel in reply to Jesse Newell

Percentage of fans there in blue?

Ia4jayhawk

That crowd is absolutely sad. No wonder we came out sluggish.

Cohawk83

Nice telecast...is this PBS?

KUFanSince1975

Anybody hungry for green eggs and ham?

Sportdan30

Let's see Merv play a little

Cshjhawk in reply to Ia4jayhawk

To the stockyards!

Sportdan30

Pull the starters Bill!!!

Mistroth in reply to MDL/kuae99

that would be fine in most games until we played missery

Ia4jayhawk in reply to Jesse Newell

I feel bad for those poor fans. What else is there to be excited about in Lubbock?

Jesse Newell KUsports.com staff

Texas Tech 0-for-8 from three.

Lajayhawk in reply to MDL/kuae99

They do that in soccer?? Weird.
