Djs nut is as worthless a poster as posts on this site. Seriously if he hates you / an idea you like wear it as a badge of honor and know you are in the right.

Likewise, hippy.

Go light another J for your dead homie Lennon.

I regret that he had but one life to give for his cause...

Wrong thread for a fight.

Excellent! I'm glad KU alums ponied up the big bucks!

As far as Springfield, MA is concerned, yes, it was an idea there. It didn't really explode until later when Dr. Naismith was at KU. If you read the article, it wasn't until 1931 that he realized what he had in this document.

It would be like Albuquerque laying claim to Microsoft because the first inclination was there. Albuquerque is in the notes but not the focus.

Or like Philadelphia being pissed off because they don't display the Declaration of Independence there.

Oh wait...

Saul would prefer the Naismith rules were displayed in Bramlege since KU's winning percentage is higher there than in Allen Fieldhouse East.

I'm sorry MU has nothing to behold.

I mean, I wish we had such traditions as EMAW and Octagon of Doom, but, I guess, we'll just have to settle for the creator of the game being our first coach and having the original rules next to our arena. Not every man can be a wild cat, but every man can wish it.

You have to be impressed with a program where the players can piss on the floor and scream at their coaches on the sideline (at least when they aren't suspended for poor attitudes).

Wow the butt hurt is strong in this thread....

I think next to the Basketball Hall of Fame, KU is as good a place as any for the papers to rest. No, we don't have the most wins or championships. But some very long and serious blood lines can be traced back to Lawrence.

THe game was invented in Springfield, MA but it's practically a religion in Lawrence, KS to a point that's maybe matched in a few other places, but certainly not topped.

Thank goodness for the Booth Family!

Too bad Naismith didn't actually invent basketball.

I bet you believe Edison invented the light bulb too.
