Is this the best year EVER for Kansas Athletics?

[teedubya]

Ok. A lot has happened in the state of Kansas this past 6 months.

January... KU Football Orange Bowl Win
April........ KU Basketball NCAA Championship

June........ Former Jayhawk Paul Pierce and Celtics win National Championship.

[phisherman]

surely there's a big 12 championship to go with that orange bowl win?

What do Paul Pierce, Aqib Talib and Mario Chalmers have in common?



All were MVPs of their respective games.

and I bet they all smoke dope.

And who cares?

[teedubya]

Oh, and there will be 6 former Jayhawks drafted next week... 5 of which may be first round.

B Rush
D Arthur
M Chalmers
JR Giddens
D Padgett
Sasha Kaun

[teedubya]

And THEY ALL SMOKE DOPE!! Wow. I didn't know that, but that is pretty cool.

Green is not your color :shake:

[Bearcat]

No question about it. I got my 3 pack of DVDs a couple of weeks ago... I've watched the Rock Chalk Championsihp and Orange Bowl, and will eventually watch the FF/NC DVD.

I was 8 in '88, so I've never really been in the situation where the expectations of the Jayhawks or Chiefs have been lowered the next year because of a championship. Yeah, the Chiefs are rebuilding, but it doesn't make losing any more acceptable. And yeah, I'd hate to see KU FB or BB completely suck next year, but regardless of what happens it's great to know no one can ever take away what happened this year.

Speaking of DVD sets.... :hmmm:

Much to your dismay, He most likely will go second round....

Kaun will always be a National Champion.....

:evil:

[irishjayhawk]

Kaun.....drafted?!?!?..............ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Many people have said he's a capable 15 year, mostly backup, center/forward. I don't think its unlikely that he could be a second round pick.

Have you seen the epic DVD "The night the streak was broken"?

I hear its a true underdog story... :)

Dude will have a long NBA career burried on someones bench... It will burn CoMo for years....

should be fun to watch.

2 discs. It's epic. On the one disc, you get the game. And the other all the trash talking for winning once in 23 years.

Where can I get the DVDs of the basketball and football? I also want the KU vs. UNC game because I failed to DVR it that night ugh.

I got them off bittorrent. The DVDs are in stores and online in the store. Also, the basketball one can come with the carolina game if you want it to. Just go to the KU Bookstore's website.

The 3-pack is at kusports.com, but you can obviously buy them seperately, too...

...it says the FF DVD has 'condensed versions' of both semifinal games.

I'd offer to copy my copy of the FF weekend, but it would be at least a few weeks before I could do it. I have both KU/UNC and KU/Memphis, plus lots of filler like the pregame/postgame hype and some of the ESPN shows the day after (First Down, PTI, Around the Horn).

Thanks man. I was on Mass Street the night of the Championship game, it was nuts! I failed to record the UNC game, but just plain forgot to record the Championship game out of excitement and anticipation of that night.

So the DVDs don't run the full games?

[irishjayhawk]

They rune condensed versions of the UNC game. The Memphis game is in its entirety. If you have a way, I can send you both games. I don't know how to at the moment.

[Lzen]

I still have the full UNC game in HD on my dvr. I wouldn't know how to put it on a dvd, though.

Time Warner now blocks the output off the DVR. So taping a cousin's highlight video from Metro Sports and giving them a copy since they missed it is impossible through a rented DVR and a cable subscription.

Lessig is right. Copyrights have to be rethought.

****.

I have an internship with them in July, maybe I can talk to them about it then...

...and fwiw, the Orange Bowl is in its entirety as well.

2024 will be the best year ever, with championships in Football, Basketball, Womens volleyball, and Plasma riding....but 2008 is good for right now.

I mentioned it in the blu-ray thread in the media forum, but just in case some of you don't read that, I have the KU UNC/Memphis games burned on Blu-ray in HD if any of you are interested.

[KCFalcon59]

I searched online forever it seemed and found this (http://www.ioffer.com/i/46357221?from_buyer=1)

I was happy with it.
