Suck my ****, ISU

That's how I wanted to get the new thread started

BOOOOOOOO

Yay!

I propose that we continue to do game threads for games and leave this thread for general KU hoops talk. That way it should take much longer to get to 5k.

And it also helps that my game thread last night turned out to be a win. :) Too bad I didn't get a chance to participate during the game. Was hooping at the Y and was having so much fun that I didn't even get home and showered and had dinner until after 9. Thank goodness for the invention of the DVR.

Where's Rust at?

He's still at Hilton booing.

At home....under his blanky.....sobbing uncontrollably.

BOOOOOOOOOOOO

Now that Iowa State has been successfully shut the hell up and as unbelievably satisfying as that was...

Marcus Smart and OSU loom. We need to cut the turnovers down for that game and run them out of the gym. A victory in that game will make me start to believe...

TEN STRAIGHT

If we beat OSU on saturday, you can bet I'll have ten straight.

In!

I second this idea. You availiable to start the game thread for Saturday?

But I also think we should close the game threads like one hour after the game.

Haha. Man, that win last night was pretty awesome considering how amped the arena was for our return.

The silence. Then the boos. More silence as we laid it on them. Then the boos. And more boos. And some boos. A few more boos. Silence. Boos. Boos. Boos. Silence.

I'm sure Rusty has a positive spin for this whole thing. He is ISU's KnowMo, after all.

Figured I'd leave these gems here from the previous thread (and game thread). This was the few weeks leading up to the game last night.

Someone seems awfully silent today.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Kansas 9-1 last decade at Hilton Tragic.

Simple case of being able to dish it out, but can't take it being dished out to him.

Hilton Magic - 10 cans of Milwaukee's Best, two orders of cheese fries, and enough inferiority complex to power a small city.

Iowa State is just not good at basketball.

Boooooooooooo

But they're #8 and we're #15. Never forget.

If you need a good laugh: http://cyclonefanatic.com/forum/mens-basketball/

This is apparently where the booers go after the game is over.

I will do it. But if there's ever a time when it's getting close to game time and I forget to start one feel free to start it.

Uh ok. Why?

LOL....good catch KC....
I been reading there since last night....
Majority are tools but there are some level headed posters....
I like the posts that start off:

We didnt lose the game because of the officials....BUT..... LMAO

I was particularly amused by the several page debate about whether this play was a foul:

http://cdn2.sbnation.com/assets/3860...biiddenies.gif

Why is it so ****ing hard for teams to realize that they have no answer for Wiggins or Embiid that doesn't include just completely giving up on guarding someone else?

They keep pointing to last year as if we don't have five brand new starters, two of which could be the #1 overall draft pick this year.

It's just talent, people. we have more of it. End of story.

He was so angry at the foul, he didn't even bother to look over at the ref

Just to bring the discussion back to the main thread. There are good, funny, insightful, amusing, and/or relevant comments made.

Besides... onto the next one. :thumb:

Those are some great comments. Thanks for posting Rusty's wisdom. Chiefsfan987 called it.

I'm moving on now from the Melvins.

Oklahoma State. It's time for some big boy basketball.

In the last 9 years, KU's Big 12 road record (56-18) is better than all Big 12 teams at home but Texas (59-15). That's got to be Self's most remarkable accomplishment of all. I can't imagine any other major conference team in the NCAA would be even close to that kind of road record.

I read that today and just... wow.

Bill Self, man. Everyone else is just fighting for second place.

Here's a stat I love: Oklahoma has a fine program with a winning record against all original Big 12 opponents except Kansas. Their record in Allen Fieldhouse? 7-44.

And what, 8 losses at AFH? How many losses have Chiefs fans seen at Arrowhead in that time? Sporting fans? (Royals fans, har har). And half of those were in his first 3 years.

I remember the feeling I had when they first hired him, and if I could go back in time, I'd punch myself in the throat.

Yeah, we all know HCBS swings the gnarliest meat hammer in the B12.

Rustshack discusses the officiating

ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

Is that really Rusty or is that someone else? I couldn't find this post on the link.

I'm hoping it's not actually him, but who really knows. That post was the OP of the thread.

That ISU fan doesn't understand college basketball.

One of the more dumb fanbases in America.

Your moment in the starlight is duly noted.:)

Boooooooo

Go to bed.

Okay mother

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

Grow some hair.

No.

Check out the Arkansas put-back dunk to win in OT versus Kentucky. Nice shot, kid!

College basketball MUST do something about these idiotic endings. The guy did a slam to win it at the buzzer. game freakin over. We don't need a conference for 5 min to determine 0.2 seconds remained where Kentucky could throw the ball up into the scoreboard, get it stuck, then have Arky throw it in. Ruined an epic finish. Seriously, enough with these stupid 0.2 seconds left rulings!

Iowa State gets everybody's A++++++++ game, which just happens to include 24 turnovers and below average shooting, but really good 3 point defense.

If I could go back in time I'd punch you in the throat, too.



:D

Wow. :shake:

I've been wondering about one incident in that game. Do you guys remember when somebody (Niang?) hit Tharpe in the eye and Tharpe had to stop dribbling. They let him take a few seconds and then they let KU inbound again. I don't recall them looking at the monitors to see if it was a flagrant. Why didn't they? And did they even call it a foul?

Good game, just that Ky didn't do the one thing I teach my kids, you have to box out the lane in a game like this, no put backs!

Kid had an open lane to the basket.

I didn't know! :deevee:

And for that, I blame Roy.

The best news about the ISU win is we won't have to see Clone articles and tweets posted in the KU Repository for a couple of weeks.

Nice backside box UK!



There was another one where a kid chucked Perry I believe out of the way of a rebound or something I thought should be reviewed also. There was some discussion about it in the game thread.

Refs were by far out of their league in that game, they let the Booo'ing Queers get to them and they chocked on a big ol chili dog...

Only reason was because the game was at Hilton. Wasn't any kind of surprise, but it was even more one sided than usual. To an almost ridiculous extent.

I wondered that in the game thread. Niang was called for the foul and then picked up a foul playing half court D right away. I thought any time a player is hit in the head they were supposed to review it. At least that's the way it's been treated in KU's games this season.

The other play where Perry got a rebound and appeared to be thrown to the ground...I don't know, I think he was falling back into the guy and he actually helped Perry to the ground rather than dropping him. That's what it seemed like to me. He had him kind of awkwardly around the neck though which made it look worse than it was.

I thought this was interesting.

CAMPUS CORNER
More about KU's alternate basketball jerseys
January 14
BY RUSTIN DODD
The Kansas City Star

LAWRENCE — So what's the deal with Kansas' recent run of throwback uniforms? That was a popular question on Monday night as No. 15 Kansas took down No. 8 Iowa State 77-70 in Ames.

For the second straight game, the Jayhawks wore an alternate uniform, this time a road grey uniform with a white "Kansas" in circus font on the front. Just two days earlier, KU wore a cream-colored alternate jersey with a cursive "Jayhawks" on the front.

They are the latest alternate jersey released by Adidas, KU’s uniform supplier, and KU officials say the Jayhawks will wear them intermittently through next season. It's not the first time Kansas has worn alternate jerseys. You might remember those Zubaz inspired shorts and tops from last season. Last June, Kansas renewed its partnership with Adidas through 2019, signing a six-year extension worth in excess of $26 million.

"We decided in late summer that we would have two more uniforms to wear throughout the year,&" KU coach Bill Self said. "Although a little different in color, both are definitely traditional from the fonts used in past going back several decades. We're excited about it. We'll be rotating the uniforms throughout the rest of the season."

On his radio show on Tuesday night, Self added that you might see the alternates even more than previously expected. Self said KU's current uniform design was his least favorite since he arrived at KU and he hoped to wear the alternates as much as possible.

One interesting thing about the road greys: The jerseys appear to have pinstripes, but the stripes are actually a series of words about the KU program:

According to KU, the stripes read: "Pay Heed. The game you love began here. Respect those who came before you. Make their legacy your own. Because destiny favors the dedicated. And rings don't replace work. In this game you don't get what you want. You get what you earn. We are Kansas. Together we rise. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!

So that's the deal with the new uniforms. So far, Kansas is a perfect 2-0 in the new threads. Maybe we'll see them even more.

That's fantastic! :thumb:

Yes it is.

:KU::KU::KU::KU::KU:

****ing awesome!

In this game you don't get what you want, you get what you BOOOOOOOOO /Rusty and his Cronies.

ROFL
Ok rerun we get it. You can stop the boo now.

I would like to BOOOO this thread but I just can't bring myself to do it....RCJHGKU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay..... :usa:

Off topic since there is no college basketball thread.

Why the **** is every TCU game on the Big 12 network?

Because nobody knows what the Big 12 Network is, or that TCU has a basketball team.

FWIW, Baylor is getting BEAT DOWN 49-29 @ TT. 15 min left in the 2nd

Baylor sucks. Clones proved that. Think it's KU, OSU, KState, and ISU. There will be some tough losses along the way, but those 4 teams make tourney. AM I wrong??

As deep as the conference is, I'll be pretty upset if they only put 4 Big 12 teams in.

EDIT: And yeah, you're wrong. Baylor lost @ ISU. KU won @ ISU. Does that mean ISU sucks? No. It's just one game. Baylor is what they've been. Streaky. They'll play great basketball and follow it up with ass basketball. But they're not just a shit team.

5 Big 12 teams made the tournament in a much weaker conference last year.

Considering the elevated talent of this year's conference, I think we can sneak a 6th team in.

Baylor has shit smeared underwear for a coach.

Baylor at TT... WTF? LOL.

Q :)

FWIW, this has been some bad basketball.
