First of all, I LOVE this move from Self. He is often chided on the national scene as a great recruiter and program coordinator, but not a great "coach". Baloney. Self knows how to motive his troops.

Of course, the person who deserves this "positive punishment" more than anyone, tyshawn taylor, will likely not be a part of this or any of Boot Camp. I'm no doctor, but I think you're supposed to keep a dislocated digit immobilized as much as possible. He might be able to do the elliptical machine or something, but he can do these drills, I imagine.

I hope the message still sinks through to him, though. His teammates are going to pay for his ignorance with blood, sweat and tears. If you don't understand that, you don't deserve to start at the University of Kansas.

Following this boot camp, the best shape our players will have ever been in. And a few mind sets straigthened out!

While you're away from the players (apparently they're running sprints), do you mind calling Sports Illustrated and ESPN & straightening things up?

They would probably pay you some money for the real story of how you started this whole thing with your incredible hotness &, how it makes sense "they wanted to fight" over you, because there is apparently, according to you, no other women on this planet nearly as hot (and smart) as you, nor as good of a cook.

Lastly, do you mind transferring to another school? (I hear Coach Cal in Lexington is looking for an intern to keep track of his multiple Kmart cell phones he uses to text with)

Football & Basketball teams:

One more thing. I know most of you don't have kids (nor obviously grandkids), but someday, let's face it, you will -- it's the greatest gift we have to give -- the gift of love, the gift of a family, the gift of a caring dad/ grandpa.

Why bring this up? Because someday your children (and grandchildren) will want to learn more about "all the great things" you did.

When they google this information someday, hoping to find triple-doubles or sacks per game or how much you gave your time to charity, the first thing that is going to pop up will be this fight.

It's time for a new day for you guys -- if you get a chance, say something positive to the press. Talk about a lesson learned. Talk about a bad mistake. Talk about how misplaced your energy was yesterday & how happy you are to be able to get it out on the practice field. Talk about how Wilt Chamberlain & James Naismith must be frowning down from heaven today, but perhaps tomorrow will find forgiveness for us all...

Talk about how Gale Sayers, John Hadl, Danny Manning, Clyde Lovellete & Jo Jo White would have never gotten caught up in something like this, and how, if they ever did, it must have been a big grade school mistake that stuck with them forever -- for the eloquence, intelligence, grace & Jayhawkness that exudes from their souls tells us all we need to know -- they are Jayhawk.

And for this, for yesterday, you should apologize -- and though it might seem hard to believe after such a poor display of sportsmanship, I believe you are all a changed group, who have grown stronger.

Just please, for your future family's sake -- don't make this mistake again. They will see (and be able to google) an apology that appears on ESPN, explaining the real situation (that it was a dispute about a girl between two people).

Make all your moves from now on count -- otherwise hang 'em up, go home & meet some hot smart girl at a gas station who knows how to cook at your new pumping job.... Obviously we would prefer you to stay a Jayhawk, although a profoundly changed one.

Right now we all are shocked, but still support you -- we would like a national apology though that clears up ESPN & Sports Illustrated's misunderstanding about "how many" were really involved in the root of the matter -- most of us seem to see quite clearly that it is two people -- they won't take a quote from us, but they will from you...

And your kids can read it someday & become inspired by what a strong person you really are -- a person who uses brilliant words & not fists to solve a problem, saving his might for gameday.

Thanks guys -- and best of luck this year at school.

Did he do anything wrong?

He was a good man through and through -- a great speaker & a very educated man -- most of us (ladies especially) have "been with" a few more than we want to admit. Wilt was such a big story that his "dates" were more publicized.

If dating is illegal, than I completely agree.

However last I checked it was OK to date in the USA.

He was just better at hitting the walk off game seven HR than most of us -- after all, he is/ was/ always will be...

Thursday with a Raw KC Strip on KU's Black Eye:

} This must be one heck of a co-ed! Helen of Lawrence. Does this mean one of the KU teams will be playing USC's Trojans this year? Watch out for any really large, wooden horses being rolled into Allen Field House in order to fool KU and crush it.

} Hey, I was appalled when I first heard this, but then I remembered how stupidly I acted in the autumn of 1973, when the girl I was going to marrry dumped me for another guy. I got drunk and stayed drunk for, what I have been told, was approximately two weeks. I was a disgraceful, self-pitying mess. College romances gone bad are way worse than divorces. Way worse than getting rolled in a parking lot. And I've been through both. College men and women are half-formed minds, undefended hearts, and hormone-soaked, unisex briefs pretending to be grown-ups and it doesn't matter a whit if they play basketball, football, or explore sub atomic particles. Their romances are often just thinly disguised addictions to the first person that will love them and fill the mother, or dad, socket that they have recently left behind to join the faux grown-up world of college. College men think college women will be as forgiving and indulgent as their mothers. College women think college men will be as forgiving and indulgent as their fathers. Enter reality. They are dating naive savages that can read and cipher and run an ipod nano, but that's about it. Neither understands that each has to savage the heart of another in a bloody right of passage to escape the mother and father sockets they think they left behind, but which remain as neural net burns until being savaged by someone from the opposite sex. We are talking extreme brutality here, even when the key parties are reasonably well adjusted. Giving a college girl you heart, before she has already savaged another heart before yours, is kind if like putting your heart out in the center of the Kansas Turnpike at dawn. It is going to get run over and smashed very soon and she's going to have rented a 100 ton dump truck to run over it with.

jaybate (anonymous) says...

And yet everyone has to go through it. And every college student thinks getting a broken heart in high school, or really, really, loving someone is prophylaxis. Wrong! If you're going to college, get ready for someone to hit you in the sternum with a ten pound hammer when you least expect it. Its par for the course. I just hope that the un-named player with the now butchered pumper has as good of a friend as I had, because that was the only way I got through it.

} The teams fighting each other, however is kind of sick. But even that is hardly without precedent. Shakespeare laid it out pretty clearly in Romeo and Juliet. You take any two groups with a lot of authoritarian dynamics and a strong sense of turf and loyalty and this is what you get when young lovers unintentionally connect the hot wire and make it arc from one group to the other.

If this story gets any bigger, I can guaranty you that you are going to see a 21st Century version of Romeo and Juliet filtered through West Side Story. As sad as I am for the player, the girl, her new beau, the teams and the school, this would make a fabulous script for updating a timeless story.

Jaybate,
I completely agree with your analysis. I lived thru such a broken heart in college, and thought it was the end of my world for about a month. For the vast majority of college-age kids, "half formed minds, pseudo-adult world of a college campus, yet with very limited life experiences" is spot-on accurate...They are older than H.School, yet still driven by hormones, and things can take on a greater meaning, which also means they can crash harder...(it can possibly hurt more).
---------------------------
I dont know Tyshawn's & the football player's situation, but can any love triangle be good? This literally, is yet another college-age soap-opera love-triangle, although this one involves 2 players on nationally ranked Div1 teams at a very high-profile university, and the 3rd person is apparently a hottie-beyond-belief...(see the hype?)...LOL! Self is in charge. Time for all of us to move on.
