Keegan: Can KU win 'em all? Don't ask Self

The only win streak that is important is 6 games in a row and that comes at the end of March & beginning of April!

KU-MU figures still not known

To all the people who don't like the Arrowhead location of the "Border Showdown" don't complain here about the "purity" of college football & how money, adverstising revenue, etc. shouldn't influence the location of the game. Instead, write T. Boone Pickens c/o Oklahoma St.; or UTexas AD DeLoss Dodds & tell them to stop spending so much money on athletics! It's not a level playing field in the Big 12 folks, and all AD Perkins is trying to do is even it out some!

KU-MU figures still not known

I was attending KU as a student when a new scoreboard went up with...[shudder]...ADVERTISING! There was an outcry that Allen Fieldhouse was being desecrated. Now look at the Fieldhouse, it looks like billboard alley on I-70 between KC & Lawrence!

What is UTexas' AD budget: $70 million-$80 million? Unfortunately, KU must compete with this & if a game in KC will help (he said w/much bias) then KU must do it. Otherwise we all can just attend basketball games @Samford or Monmouth!

Thanks for the clarification LAJayhawk! To me that means Mario got robbed. I also agree that passing the ball to Brandon, or heaving it downcourt would have been the correct response, however it was a split second decision that had to be made by Sherron. I still think that the bad call on Mario is what made Sherron make the decision to attempt to bounce the ball off of the defender!

LAJayhawk, I beg to differ. Brandon Rush accidentally knocked Collins over & he began to fall out of bounds. Besides that I thought the earlier call on Mario was incorrect as he began to teeter & became unbalanced & then called timeout. I thought the rule was that you couldn't jump while inbounds, then grab the ball as it heads out of bounds & call timeout in midair before you land out of bounds. Someone needs to check the rules because I don't think it has anything to do with losing your balance while inbounds.

Coach Self said that when he was falling out of bounds, Collins should have called timeout instead of trying to bounce the ball off of the GT defender. However, didn't Chalmers try this in the first half, and the call was that it was against the rules to call timeout when falling out of bounds? The officials then gave the ball back to GT.
