WHAT? NO

Yup. Read it on their FB. It was requested by the university of Kansas.

I hate ****ing Mondays!

You may have seen a tweet from @KUboobs saying that "KU has ordered KUBoobs to cease and desist." That tweet is not accurate.

@JMarchiony 9m

KU is not trying to shut down the @KUboobs Twitter account. A Twitter account is one thing. But they're selling merchandise with KU on it.

@JMarchiony 8m

That violates KU's Federal trademark, which the University must protect.

@JMarchiony 7m

We've asked them to stop selling that merchandise, not to shut down the Twitter account. Rock Chalk!

DON'T YOU DARE!

MONDAY'S RULE!!

Hard to argue with Marchiony on the merchandise aspect.

This is typically how I rate the Top 3 all time. KU is the current #1 with their unprecedented winning over the past decade and recruiting explosion.

KU can move ahead to #1 all time when they overtake Kentucky for all-time wins (currently 2nd) and another NCAA Tournament Championship.

ok, NOW it's a story.

Why are there no black boobs? Is KU racist or are the black women not sluts?Today 4:49pm


http://mrwgifs.com/wp-content/upload...cepalm-Gif.gif

yea I woke up to a text about ku boobs having to shut down. really killed my day

That reerun wrote that Arizona hasn't missed the tournament since 1984. Fail.

In Self's basketball scrimmage today Frankamp went 4-4 from 3 and Greene had 21 points. Embiid had the green light and went 1-2 from 3.

I'm very excited about Frankamp. It's been a whole since we had a sniper. I wouldn't build my team around one, but they are perfect complementary puexes. A guy like Jeff Boschee could change the momentum of a game so quickly and demoralize an away crowd.
Posted via Mobile Device

Word is the whole team can shoot that's for sure.

scoring wont be a problem for this years ku team lol

This is seriously like Pavlov's dog. I can't wait until the season!

"Thanks to a big second half, freshman forward Brannen Greene led all scorers with 21 points in the Blue's come-from-behind victory over the alums.
Tyshawn Taylor added 19 points and Sherron Collins 16 for the Red, while Perry Ellis chipped in 14, Landen Lucas and Conner Frankamp added 12 apiece and Jamari Traylor added 11 for the Blue squad."

Greene and Frankamp are "real" sharpshooters

Wiggins, Seldon, and Tharpe can all knock down 3's.

I can't wait for next season....I loved watching guys like Jeff Boschee and Tyrel Reed make it rain from the arc.

It's a dirty little secret, but we've really struggled to score the last two years. That shit is OVER.

Conner Frankamp is going to win a national championship at KU. Dude's going to be draining them at will from beyond NBA by the time he's a junior.

schwing

GAAAWD I can't wait.

http://cdn3.sbnation.com/imported_as...ger_medium.gif

He hit one from Olathe today.

Tharpe can knock down 3's, but it doesn't mean he's any good at it. Self better tell him to focus on facilitating this year...they have more than enough players that can hit shots.

Highlights on kusports.com for those of you who were jonesing like I was.

This article appeared just prior to the 2008/2009 season.

The Kentucky write up doesn't even mention Calipari.

you mean offense is an issue?

no way



stop complaining ... why do you hate Bill Self?

we'll see

@rustindodd: I believe Tyshawn Taylor's exact words were that this new KU team looks like it "can shoot the p*ss out of it."

I'm certainly not pointing out that Tharpe should be a main longball option.

But I think for Tharpe to really take off and be something special this season (which I think he can) he needs to play smarter. He spent last season learning to know "when" to shoot, which IMO is very important. You can always improve your shot, and his 3PT% while below average (I think around 33%), can get better with practice, and I think it will. Having people outside that can shoot the rock will also help him be able to penetrate in the lane. This team is going to have all sorts of ways to score it's going to be sickening. But with a little better shot and other players as legitimate threats, will allow him to be open more. I think he's going to be a double figure scorer just because of how much he'll have the ball in his hands. somewhere around 10-12pts a game.

Awesome....Thanks CJ!

Frankamp needs to start shaving his head.

Nice highlites.

Don't necessarily agree. While the offense wasn't terribly efficient in 12, but Taylor could and did beat anybody and everybody off the bounce and TRob was other****ingworldly. Dude was just off the wall. He consistently scored on double and triple teams. That team made it their MO to score when they needed it. The D was OK. Withey was nails and EJ was good but Taylor wasn't a defensive monster and Conner ****ing Teahan was playing D. That team won on the offensive end.

13. That was offensive struggle.

That's not to say though that I wouldn't have welcomed Frankamp over Teahan.

Just curious... We do the "Capital City League" during the summer with Drake and various other small schools and old players like Royce White, Garrett, Brackins and so on.. But our coaches aren't involved... Do all schools do something similar?

It's six teams then there's two Cyclones and two drake players per team then the rest is filled with others. Basically street ball not much defense but it's still pretty cool.

KU brings in alums to scrimmage with team.

I can't wait for this season to start. This team is going to be nasty.

Is that something that counts against your practice or a similar thing where the coaches aren't involved?

I'm am waaay more excited for the season and Big12 in general than I was when the season ended. The Big12 isn't as down as it originally looked.

That team scored due to athleticism. And on the pure will of the two players you mentioned. They couldn't shoot for shit.

I don't think this post could be more wrong. Taylor was a very good defender, better than EJ. That team had the #4 defensive efficiency and #1 field goal percentage defense in the country.

Tournament run:

Detroit: 65-50
Purdue: 63-60
NC State: 60-57
N. Carolina: 80-67
Ohio State: 64-62

Yeah, that’s a real offensive juggernaut.

I think I read there were 15 teams who hit 25% or less from deep last year's tourney and 12 lost round 1, 2 lost round 2, and then KU nearly won it all. We were a defense-first team by far.

I don't think the coaches are involved

You're probably right. Maybe I'm selectively remembering.

What I do remember is I can defend better than Teahan. That kid was turrible /Barkley.

It seemed to me that the games they won, they hit big shots. That maybe different than rocking offensively. But on several games, they needed to hit shots to win, and they did.

Teahan was atrocious on D. That experiment was a flop. (One of the few by Self)

Thoughts:

Tarik Black is starting.
Brannen Greene is going to find a way on the floor, even though he's behind wiggins.
Selden is calm as a mother****er.
Embiid has work to do.
Ellis hits his threes consistently? We are going to score at ****ing will.

Oh, and Sherron is fat as shit but he's still got it. Dude is the most fun player to watch ever.

sherron looks like a bowling ball lol too much chicken and not enough seats


Man, aint no seats

whos 21 on red? I cant tell

Joel Embiid.

Here are the numbers, btw:


BLUE TEAM (ALL CURRENT)

#25 Tarik Black
#14 Brannen Greene
#0 Frank Mason
#1 Wayne Selden (NOT tharpe - they traded #'s)
#10 Nadiir Tharpe
#23 Conner Frankamp
#31 Jamari Traylor
#34 Perry Ellis
#11 Tyler Self
#20 Niko Roberts


RED TEAM

#21 Joel Embiid (yeah that's him hitting a three.)
#33 Landen Lucas
#4 Justin Wesley
Tyshawn Taylor
Sherron Collins (so fat. Still sooooooooo awesome)
Tyrel Reed
Jeff Hawkins
Mario Little
Brady Morningstar

A couple of thoughts going in.

RED (76)

Tyshawn Taylor 19 points, Sherron Collins 16, Landen Lucas 13, Mario Little 9, Joel Embiid 7, Tyrel Reed 6, Justin Wesley 4, Brady Morningstar 2, Jeff Hawkins 0.

x-BLUE (91)

Brannen Greene 21, Perry Ellis 14, Conner Frankamp 12, Wayne Selden 12, Jamari Traylor 11, Tarik Black 10, Naadir Tharpe 6, Frank Mason 3, Tyler Self 3.

x-Blue actually had 92 points; one free throw was not counted on scoreboard

Threes: Greene 5, Collins 4, Frankamp 4, Taylor 3, Little 3, Reed 2, Tharpe 2, Ellis 2, Selden 2, Embiid 1, Self 1, Traylor 1.

This season is gonna be amazing.

And all of this without the best pro prospect in a decade.

:whackit:

Surprised Sherron is still alive and playing basketball (and well at that?) and that Tyler Self apparently hit at three.

Game
Set
Match!

:shrug:

The guy destroyed his own professional basketball career. What is he doing these days?

Hopefully taking care of his kid(s?).

Elevator repair man from what I've heard.

Frankamp is gonna make bitches cum worldwide.

Sherron Collins is such a god damn fatass. ROFL

This team will not have a problem scoring from outside that's for sure.

Yeah, but he still has handles like a mother****er. The only thing that can stay in front of him is a Chinese buffet.

Sherron still one of my favorites ever, but he whines so hard on Twitter about EVERYTHING

I laughed.

is sherron seriously a elevator repair man? lol no way

they do make really good money tho btw

This obviously a reference to his alleged indiscretion in an elevator.....right?

lol

Sherron is training with Hudy in Lawrence again from what I've heard and is trying to rededicate himself to nutrition to slim down and make a play for Europe from what I hear.

He still has sick moves. He just looks like Khalid El-Amin doing them now.

When I saw him at the barnstormer event a couple months ago I couldnt even recognize him he was so big.

Well this is a pathetic level of stalking Ive never seen. But that gif is pretty cool.

Haha I like your gif as well :drool:

Waited at the airport today! He only signed my shirt and two other people that I met there that bought t-shirts at the airport.

Feel lucky.

Rock Chalk!

Got this from the Shiver he has arrived, and already decked out in adida's gear. He will fit in nicely! :thumb:

Wait, you went to the airport to greet him to KC?

I didn't some dude from the shiver did though. Now this is floating around

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BM1J72jCMAAjIQ4.jpg:large

Wiggins was reportedly at Dillons on 23rd in Lawrence.

It's one thing to bump into him at Dillon's - it's a completely different thing to be there waiting for him to get off a plane.

Why are peeps stalking him?

Because people are assuming this is your chance to meet Michael Jordan before he was Michael Jordan.

Welcome to 21st century hype.
