I am a big KU's fan from San Jose, CA.
Ever since basketball season started, I check this website daily to read news on KU's basketball.
Love the "spodcasters" feature. Keep up the good work.
Thanks a bunch,
KU's fan from Cali

Hey Fellas,
Just wanted to let you know how much I'm enjoying the spodcasters out here in Los Angeles. It's nice to get a respite from all the UCLA basketball and USC football nonsense...Keep up the good work.

I am also a huge KU fan that's just recently moved to San Jose, and spodcasters (and ESPN full court on my computer) are the best things to happen to me as a KU fan living in a PAC-10 driven world. Keep it up for God's sake.
About Micah leaving-- I think that clearly the biggest beneficiary is Case. The thought in the back of everyone's mind was that once Micah started playing, Case never would. Now he HAS to play a role for 2.5 seasons. You guys say we'll need an experienced shooter to come in two years from now and make a shot- Case is just a sophomore even though he's been here 8 years. He may not be Jeff Boschee (being in the starting 5), but that guy made a ton of threes at 6'1 and there's no reason to think that case (who is just as tall as Boschee) can't come in and be a factor off the bench. Watching them play... the similariteis between post-point guard Boschee and Case are uncanny- they even both wear ridiculously huge t-shirts under their uniforms.
You watch Case become a key player. It's gonna happen. Roy said he was the best shooter he ever recruited, and he's hungry..

Sounds like those of us in CA are big spodcast fans. I would ask that you get the spodcast in the iTunes podcast directory. Yet another example of this site not embracing RSS.
Hands down, my favorite site and one of may favorite casts...but I would appreciate access outside of the domain.

Apparently some of you from Pac-10 country dont know what you are talking about. Similarities between Boschee and Case??? Are you kidding me?? Yes, Case can sit there and shoot the ball, but in know way can he create shots like Boschee, shoot off the dribble like Boschee, play point like Boschee (even though he wasnt a true point guard), is as strong as Boschee, or will ever become close to as good as Boschee, the all-time conference leader in the 3's. You need to back and watch some film of Boschee and compare that to Case (aka pee-wee). Case is not strong enough, big enough, or quick enough to be anything better than a guy who can come of the bench for a couple of minutes and hit a three or two.......and that might be at the end of a blowout victory...

I cleary said he wasn't Jeff Boschee- my main point was that the question of height shouldn't be an issue for a 3-point guy being a factor. And when kirk Hinrich was out there, Boschee was running around the three point line an awful lot. I mean, he shot a lot of threes dude.

Just a note: KUsports.com has offered SpodCasters through iTunes for a while now; so you can indeed subscribe to the podCast through Apple's Music Store.
Search in iTunes for "SpodCasters" and you'll be able to get the latest episodes automatically -- or as Steve Jobs says, "ohtomatically."
I'm listening to the lastest episode in iTunes right now....

Hey Guys,
thanks for listening. I agree on Case. He needs to play some. But, he has to make those threes! Nothing else. Just hit a shot or two. And let me say, I was shocked to see R. Stewart in the game(in the first half?).

David....I stand corrected wrt the iTunes feed. Apologies.
What about RSS enabling the rest of the site hell I'll even settle for Keegan's column kidding as I love what he is bringing to the lineup.
I see where you mentioned this almost a year ago - http://www.kusports.com/news/archive/...
Given my last false accu maybe I am overlooking this as well.
