Men 2 Boyz

I thought this article was good, overall. It's not supposed to be a hysterically funny or informative football story. This author writes confidently and knows he's not writing an informative football story. It's different than most football stories, but that's what I like about it. I appreciate his openness. These ARROGANT posts show me that there are a bunch of uneducated, self-righteous prisses reading this article. You need taught a lesson. Lighten up and quit thinking so highly of yourselves. I'm sure that both he and his employer see his writing talent. Dugan, thanks for having the footballs to write something different for a change. The only thing that I thought was over the edge was the comment about Mario. But you've got guts and guts is enough. At least you can think for yourself, unlike most of the posters on here.

Tale of two tournament shots

From someone older and who shoots everyday, Richard's shot was nearly dead on accurate - trajectory and length-wise - except he didn't feel he had enough time to pause, square up and either jump straight up or straight up and slightly forward (which I think is the better technique). If he HAD paused to square up, his shot would've been more centered and balanced. A centered miss is always better than a left or right miss. He jumped to the left and so his shot WENT to the left. End of story. He didn't have much time to pause and shoot, that's for sure. Also, there was some Davidson dude ALL ALONE under the basket when that shot went up! Could've tied it. You can argue that Curry shouldn't have taken the ball up the court, but you also want to guarantee that your best player will have the ball at the end.

Jayhawks call for full stadium

okjhok,

I am glad you stated your opinion and, in fact, my opinions on this 'god' matter are nearly identical to yours. It's interesting to read these poses and see so many opinions (about this side topic), but I agree that we should focus squarely on how great the team is doing.

Rush, Arthur garner Preseason Big 12 accolades

Kevin Durant didn't deserve POY honors last year.

He sucked.

jross1972,

I just want you to know that I pretty much agree with most of what you have posted here regarding marriage and commitment. Thanks for sharing your views because I feel that your general viewpoint on marriage is completely accurate, even though it is not a majority view here. It's hard for us to understand their viewpoint (and vice versa). I haven't heard a good argument against your views/our views yet. I appreciate hearing everyones' opinions.

JNgohawks, I am sorry. I don't have anything against clowns, per se. What I meant was,

a clown with diarrhea.

Workin' double time

In my humble opinion, Jeff, enjoy life, and whatever your goals, work daily to improve, keep respecting yourself, and stay humble as you improve. Good luck Jeff. Keep us posted on your successes! We aren't all negative here at KU. You're a great guy, you're talented, and you will continue to be a success! Rock Chalk J-hawk!

Jeff, if you are reading this, or if any of your friends or family are reading this, I apologize for the length of this post, but I'm here to try to defend you because I appreciate all you did for KU basketball. Not that you need someone to defend you, because it sounds like you've got your priorities straight. Good job! (And I apologize for any typing errors. Hey! We all make mistakes, right??!!) I just want, if you don't mind, to warn you and, more importantly, encourage you. Please don't listen to the clowns who commented negatively above. I can't believe how negative their attitudes are. Ha! Forget 'em! Man, they aren't on your side! That sucks, but forget 'em. They may argue that they aren't clowns, but their comments prove otherwise, no matter what else they have to say. The way the comments have started out, I would be cautious of reading what people have to say.I think maybe Calvin Coolidge was right, Jeff. He said that determination and persistence are the keys to reaching your goals. It sounds like you've got the determination part down, so keep on rockin'. Like Coolidge said, the world is full of educated, talented, geniouses who aren't successful (but love to point out others' faults). If only they had vision, determination, and persistence about reaching their own goals. Sheesh! These clowns think that your goals are too lofty? They aren't running your life. You are. I'll have to throw in an Einstein quote here (about lofty goals). The clowns on here probably won't take the time to understand this quote, but I think it pertains to their comment. He said, "One should not pursue goals that are easily achieved. One must develop an instinct for what one can barely achieve through one's greatest efforts." Hell man, just look at how Billy Thomas has persisted and is living his dream now. He worked hard. If you contacted him, I bet he'd say, "YOU keep working hard!"
And here's a great message from a wall poster I have in my house:
Don't Quit!
Unite perseverance with resolve.
Nothing worthwhile comes easy.
Keep knocking on doors.
Hold on to your vision.
Effort creates opportunities.
Challenge your potential.
Regarding the above negative comments - forget the comment about not liking your son's name. Who CARES what he thinks? Your son's gonna be awesome if you love him and teach him and keep him safe!
And, as far as the comparisons above to you and Jacque Vaughn, isn't ballin' a lot like a musician making music? I mean, you do them both, first of all, for the sake of having fun. That's what it's about. THEN you try to make money at it. But, if you spend your time comparing yourself to others, it takes away from the enjoyment and the performance, so why keep comparing? If someone thinks you are better than someone else...ok. Stats might lean one way or the other, but there are a lot of factors. But if someone says your potential is less, don't listen to them!
