Should I be happy Kietzman was fired? Yes, it's me.

What's the story between Self and Keitzman? Has it been a thing for a long time or did something happen more recently like commentary about the college basketball scandal involving Nike?

It's probably true (not just of Self), but I can see why Self would take offense.

KK has always (obviously) disliked KU, but back to the incident with Josh Jackson kicking a woman's car, the Star and KK tried their best to make something out of nothing. KK blatantly took the side of the girl's father (obviously another biased point of view) without considering any other opinions, and dragged out the scandal for weeks after the news cycle had already ended, including the opinion that it was a Title IX violation and the university itself should be opened for investigation.

It was exactly like the Hill situation, with him exaggerating and twisting facts, and trying to use his spot in the media to cause such a ruckus to get people fired/suspended.

And then repeatedly re-references as his shining piece of imaginary evidence where KU is the devil within every bit of Jayhawk discussion he sees fit.

He creates a false narrative then uses as fact for future conversation. That's just one item. His body of work is a minefield of phantasmic theses. He loved that Bill Self is some sort of playboy away from the home, and cannot believe KU would put up with our own version of Larry Eustachy.

I don't remember much of KK doing that because I don't listen to him much, but I know the KC Star did that. Was that Brooke Pryor at the star back then?

The Star did it initially, and I believe they had a week where they released one fact every day in attempt to keep it in the news. KK made it his main story while it was going on (during the tournament), and then kept on it (IIRC) until Jackson was drafted.

It was not Brooke at the Star, but another female that was quickly hated by the fanbase - Laura Bauer. The Star is still hated by a significant chunk of KU fans for the way they seemingly tried to create a lynch mob out of nothing.

It's amusing that the KU Star managed to make a large number of KU fans hate it, despite decades of pro-KU coverage of basically everything.

Did you read anything that sedated posted? KU fans have very good reason to be pissed at the Star. You would be, too, if it were your team that was made out to be something they were not. Same type of deal as this Tyreek Hill situation. I refuse to read the KC Star.

Did you read anything that I posted? I said it was remarkable that the KU Star had been fluffing KU dutifully for decades and still managed to squander all that good will.
