Sporting News ranks Lawrence at No. 15 for best sports city

I hate it when I read KU has 3 NCAA mens basketball championships. Instead, I would rather read KU has 5 National Championships. UNC and Kentucky count all of their Championships, including before the NCAA, so we should as well. 5 not 3 !!!!

Arthur, Chalmers offer apologies

The big thing here that doesn't make sense to me is the actions of the NBA. They were at a rookie seminar that teaches rookies how to AVOID situations that they were caught in, so what does the NBA do, kicks them out and will make them complete the seminar NEXT year, a little late don't you think. If I was Stern, I think I would want them in the seminar ASAP. Maybe the whole orientation would have been more effective for all the rookies, as an example, if they were allowed to continue the orientation.

Darnell Jackson's letter to KU fans

Darnell,
You came to KU a boy and have left a man. You have done a lot of growing up while at KU. Just remember this...Although you signed a nice NBA contract and things will be easier financially, life is a series of challenges. Never forget that as a man, you have what it takes to meet and overcome any challenge, with dignity, humility, and respect.

Rock Chalk Forever !!!!!

Report: Stern singles out KU duo

In most places possession of 1 oz. or less of marijuana is a municipal MISDEMEANOR, just like a minor speeding ticket. Alcohol consumption can lead to domestic disturbance, violence, drunk driving, and death. Prohibition was repealed because everyone kept drinking, regardless of the consequences. We are in a marijuana prohibition which is just as unsuccessful. If Marijuana or alcohol has to be illegal, they got the wrong one if you consider the impact to society. either way it's too much government ruling peoples lives, the Libertarian Party wants to restore individual liberty and get the government out of peoples PRIVATE lives, so they smoked a joint with some girls, OMG, compared with all the seriously illegal activities committed by pro athletes, like Ray Lewis getting away with murder, give our two Jayhawks a break, there are more important things to worry about.

C.J. Henry commits to Memphis, says brother still undecided

If CJ's baseball career has been limited by injuries, it makes me wonder how he'll hold up playing basketball......??

Keegan: Hmmm, good question

Best year Ever !!! 49-4 is going to be hard to beat. having said that, the apples and oranges are both JAYHAWKS. I doubt we will improve on 49-4, but, regardless, we're talking KU Sports, so let's support them both and if we lose a few games it won't be the end of the world or my support. Rock Chalk All the way, no matter what!!!!

Hoops recruit Robinson to visit KU next month

I had no idea all the discussion I would create with the world series comparison, but it's all good fun...some counterpoints to some things brought up:

1- I know that a lot of players will be scattered all over, but I would think that they could all be at an early football game for a ring ceremony without interrupting their schedules.

2- To STLJHawk86 "The Call" you Cards fans still cry about had no bearing on the score, as the player called safe at first was thrown out on the bases after "the Call"

3- to rockchalk_dpu, I was not bringing up the '85 World series to discuss the series itself, but using it to compare methods of handing out championship rings, and the importance of doing it in front of the fans.

These boards are here for the exchange of ideas and opinions regarding information in the articles. It's all good fun, and shouldn't be taken TOO seriously. So let's have fun and get ready for a new year of Jayhawk success!

A private ceremony to get their rings?????
I was at game 7 of the world series in '85 and opening day the following year in '86. I think that being at Opening Day after winning the world series was more exciting, seeing the Royals all lined up along the first base line getting their rings as the world series flag was raised in left field...all the while the world series trophy was at home plate....an experience that will NEVER be forgotten. Why on earth would ANYONE want the rings to be awarded at a PRIVATE ceremony????????

KU in the spotlight at day two of Big 12 Media Days

All the returning players is a plus. Even one of the players not returning is a plus, our new kicker could make a big difference, and possibly would have made the difference at arrowhead last year !!!
