So so so so so so stupid.

I'm almost 100% convinced that KC Connection is Phil Forte. Phil is a huge KU fan growing up but couldn't go to KU, Phil also cups Marcus Smart's balls and is his best bud. I'm sure he's a bit butthurt about it. No other plausible explanation.

Based on current bracketology projections, KU will have played 21 games against teams going to the dance or about 2/3's of their schedule. Throw in potentially 3 more from the Big 12 tourney and you've got an AMAZING 24 games!! Thanks, HCBS. The boys are battle tested.

Hopefully it pays off and we don't get bounced by a nobody because there is no effort.

Mr. and Mrs. Plow along with myself and Mrs. Ceej will be going to Duke's a week from tonight to drink and watch KU play. If KU happens to lose Thursday we anticipate on closing their bar down.

If any of you guys are near and want to come have a beer or several please do so.

What town is that in?

KC, near the Sprint Center.

Bill Self’s Hardware Store

http://jeffjacobsen.files.wordpress....pg?w=960&h=672KU basketball coach Bill Self with an impressive hardware collection.

Whether you are a KU basketball fan or not. Whether you consider Bill Self to be one of college basketball’s finest coaches. Whether you really care about sports at all – you have to admit the photograph that leads off this post contains an impressive haul of hardware.

In the decade Self has coached at KU, there have been nine Big 12 regular season championships and six Big 12 postseason championships. Of course, the biggest prize of all is the National Championship trophy brought home from San Antonio in 2008. The month of August and a major portion of September involve very little game action in comparison to the heavy load of posed photographs I take every year for media guides, posters and other display pieces. The photograph of coach Self, though, was something a little different.

Just gathering everything and rearranging Self’s office for the display took the help of two our facility office’s surest hands, Frank Masterson and Tim Giblin. The Big 12 regular season trophies are very heavy, and none us wanted to live in infamy for dropping one. As we moved furniture, rearranged bookcases and hauled trophy after trophy into the office, the team’s communications director, Chris Theisen, mentally logged the long list of team and coaching awards.

Having photographed most of the events where Self and KU won these trophies, a photograph was needed.(Tim Giblin)

We started the setup at nine o’clock. From a window looking down onto the team’s practice courts, I could see a video crew swarm around Self for what looked to be an instructional video. At 9:45, Self strolled into the office, checked the setup and immediately began changing from coaching gear into a suit. By 9:56, with the photographs completed, Self was changing clothes again. As he walked back through the setup on his way to an 11 o’clock teleconference, Self stopped to thank me again.

Surveying the scene a final time, Self shook his head in amazement and proudly said, “You know, Jeff, that really is pretty impressive.” Yes, coach, impressive indeed.

Well, I know Perry ain't starting ahead of Big Cliff. That's a nonstarter. They could play together. I suppose if you think he would start over Myles, that's possible I guess.

Perry will start over cliff if Embiid comes back.

Perry will start over cliff if Turner comes to KU.

Perry will start.

Some people, man. I swear.

Wrong.

You've been wrong every single time you've ever posted about Perry Ellis. You are not changing that tonight.

I ****ing love that you think JR. Perry Ellis somehow goes from starting to sitting behind a freshman. Love it.

My god, do you simply not understand anything about college basketball? About Bill Self? About KU? About offense? About experience?

You think Bill Self wants back to back years starting three freshmen?

Let me guess, Jaquan Lyle would start over Tharpe, too, huh? Or is it JUST perry ellis that you can't seem to connect with?
