What, the J-W ran out of money to extend the picture below their armpits?

Thanks for those responses. More than one way to skin a cat, I guess.

Don't understand why Self refuses to expand his rotation when he has so much talent at his disposal. Play more bodies, fresher troops, and swarm the opponent.

Close to consensus

Your headline says "Close to consensus." A consensus is defined as "general agreement or accord." It does not imply unanimity. Sounds to me as if the respondents to your informal poll were not merely "close" to consensus; they reached consensus, if most of them named Sayers.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

Bradford will be fine. Joe Namath busted up his knee at 'Bama and still set a record for a signing bonus w/ the Jets.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

Agreed. Cole is having the time of his life here on the Hill. Why should he go to work for a living sooner than he has to? Maybe he wants to stay for his senior season and challenge Bill Walton's legacy. Is there some rule that you HAVE to turn pro early if you're a lottery pick?

KU sells courtside basketball seats for $15,000 each

Not sure how to feel about this. Twenty-odd years ago I was a staff writer for the alumni magazine and sat on press row. Traditionally, the press's rightful place has been at courtside, where they can serve as the eyes and voices for their readers or listeners. Shunting them off to the stands in favor of beaucoup bucks seems a little out of whack. It will seem very strange to see fans cheering from "press row." Next, Lew will probably demand that newspapers and television stations pony up for the right to cover KU basketball. I worry that priorities have become twisted under the Reign of Lew, and Allen Field House is losing that special feel.

Aldrich’s dad: Cole content at KU

If Cole loves college so much (he says, "I'm having the time of my life"), why not stay for his senior season, too? No law that says you have to turn pro before your eligibility is up.
