KU vs. Texas -- 11/21/09 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium

If KU really wants to make news, Lew Perkins could terminate Mangino at half time.

Not-so-gentle reign

There will be people on both sides of this "Bobby Knight/Woody Hayes now Mangino" moment.

But do know this. For those players that felt abused, belittled, beat down, criticized, etc., please for the sake of the United States of America do NOT enter the military, because it would be clear that your drill sargent, fellow soldiers and America can not count on you to rise to the occasion.

The great escape

OakvilleJHawk,

Just currious since you were there.

Watching on TV the Kansas crowd seemed muted, not very vocal. It could have been ESPN focusing on the "underdog".

Your take please.

The great escape

In some respect this was not all that surprising.

Scottrade Center is not a shooters venue. That showed. We made one 3 pointer. Rims were very tight.

When we had fast break opportunities we tried to hit home runs rather than just fill the lanes and push.

I think Xavier got a dose of how it is for big fish to swim in a bigger pond for a change. Offensively okay, not great, but defensively I thought could have been better for him.

Cole, thank God we have that guy.

Collins could have been a factor except for the cramps.

Thomas Robinson evaporated from what he showed in the earlier games.

We know these things are going to happen, better they happen now than say the first round of tournament time.

Just got to pass this story on as to how good it is to be a Jayhawk fan.

A few weeks ago I was out in the yard finishing up some yardwork way out here in West Texas. It was a beautiful day and I had my Jayhawk Regional Semifinal tee shirt on. A guy comes riding by on his bike and sees me and shouts out Rock Chalk.
I look, smile and shout back JAYHAWK!

Too bad.

Oh, the memories

When I got up this morning I considered wearing the same clothes I did on that glorious day in April 2008, and thought that Bill Self would wear the same tie from that championship game.

Then I thought, crap I can't count on Bill Self to wear the same tie, and do I really want to get that superstitious?

Man, are we like 15 deep in playable talent on this team!
