I knew they were projecting less to start. But I'd say as of now those four, Baylor and Oklahoma are all good enough.

I just went through their schedule over the last seven years quickly.

Geeze....


What is KSU's record at AFH over the last 10 years? Do they just have one win?

Duke lost 2 straight last year (FSU, Lehigh), 2 straight in 2009 (UNC, BC), 2 straight in 2008 (WF, Miami), two four game losing streaks in 2007 (Virginia, FSU, UNC, Maryland; Maryland, UNC, NCS, VCU) and another 2 game losing streak in 2007 (VT, GT), 2 straight in 2006 (UNC, FSU), and 2 straight in Feb. 2005 (Maryland, VT).

Coach K clearly sucks.

Rep

I'm fairly certain they've only won 2 in AFH since Roy showed up.

1 win in 2006, the rest losses.

We've beaten you 45 of 48 including two weeks back, so we normally circle you as a W each time the schedule is released.


I doubt Vegas will make you the favorite anyway so it wouldn't e an upset to begin with.

We need Batman.

My buddy just texted me "The last time KU lost 3 in a row to unranked teams, 1988."

That'd be awesome. By a lot.

Every since my first game at KU.... The jay hawks suffered two losses ... Maybe I'm bad luck lol

I think KU drops this time ... 10th or 11th.

I'm thinking it's probably closer to 15 or 16.

bunch of teams with 4 losses around 10 already though

I'm calling 18.

14

12

Whoops....

I mean 21.

Yeah, I posted earlier that they should just throw out the damn rankings and try again. Every decent team is so damn inconsistent. I don't see anyone playing better than Miami right now, but they'll probably not be at the top.

And all the teams dropping like flies are a bitch for the oddsmakers.

I think we should be in the 20 range, but I imagine we'll be in the 12-15 range.

I'd be surprised if KU fell below about 12 or 13.

Any of them to a TCU-like team?

15.

13

17

What is the prize for the correct guess

starting point guard position

lol x 10

was gonna guess before reading this, dont want to get it right, too big a burden

Jayhawks open as a 9-point favorite over Kansas State

I would take K-state in a heartbeat

If KSU was the favorited to win ....

1 of 2 things must happen first ..........


1).KSU would have to pay each fan$ 10000.00 to even fathom the deal
or
2). KSU has to become a basketball powerhouse by putting teams their team in the top 5 consistently for the next 30 years.


Neither is going to happen, however I once heard of a school that made a 2 disc CD for it's fans when they finally beat KU in a basketball game. I would say the odds of that happening again are far greater than either of the former 2.

That should be a cash winner.

Please explain to kstate fans that this means that they'd be pulling the upset if they won. Not sure they know what point spreads mean.

We need Bmac to be hot at the beginning of the game.

If he is confident then maybe everyone else's anus will unclench and we can start just playing instead of running around like a bunch of deer in headlights.

much like Morningstar making his first shot, an early 3 will set a great tone.

To be honest here, no need to be chicken little here. Sure this is rare for a KU team to lose 3 games in a row. Our offensive signs have been showing for sometime now and this didn't have elite written all over it to start with. This team is what it is, a team with some very good talent on it that when it's playing it's best, can beat anybody on any given day, capable of winning a NC.

So why is this year any different of the teams that didn't win it all ? It's not, we just have not gotten to the NCAA big dance yet. This team has talent, but in this year where there is so much parity across the country, one can not just win on talent alone.

I would much rather be seeing this sloppy, unfocused play happen now than later in the season. Plenty of time for HCBS to right the ship.

I'd rather not see it at all.... but that's not practical. However, if we're seeing it now, we'll probably see it in march too even if they do temporarily fix it.

To play a close game in AFH?

I'm not one for betting on KU in times like these, but I certainly wouldn't be betting on KSU on the road in that environment.

um ... wut?

people were raving and stunned at how elite this team could be at the start of the year.

Anyone hearing the rumors about Bill Self messing around with a KU coed?

Nope.

Yeah he blew on her chest

You really don't have anything better to do, do you?

LMAO

In December when they were playing elite basketball, yeah.

That's what's so weird. They have the capability to play elite ball. They are in a funk but also they are lazy and think they can walk out there and just because they play for the best program in the nation they win. Just as Self said, you wanna play for Kansas you have the bullseye on you and you gotta take the pressure.

been some talk about him and the Mrs. being seperated...

What ya hearing?

What you hearing?

This is coming from a Mizzou and KSU fan...

Still wanted to hear what they are saying about it....

Nothing over at the phog on it...

In 2010 and 2011, KU was so good that they essentially just waltzed through the regular season winning the B12 easily.

In 2009 and 2012, however, they needed Sherron and Tyshawn to step up to get them through it the difficult times. Those two had the internal toughness to get it done. It's looking like one of those years where somebody needs to step up like that if they want to continue the conference streak. But who can?

That's where I first heard of it a few weeks ago.

But I dont see why that would affect this team THAT much. Its still the players dropping turds all over the court.

Need to research that one... had no idea...

Research it? Lol, how dumb. You drivin up to Lawrence tonight with your trench coat and magnifying glass?

Actually just got into Kansas, Burying my Grandma tomorrow.


Not sure what the hell you are talking about...

Damn.

Sorry to hear man...

that Bill has his own apartment....

Its cool. She is in a better place. I am lucky to have spent almost 40 years with her...

She was awesome sweet lady and a great cook.. She will be missed but I am not sad for her. She lived a great life and was truly ready for the after life...

She was a strong believer, I feel she is being rewarded for her life.

I guess this is old news to some but new news to me... Thanks for the update.

I read it on the Phog before it was deleted

No wonder I am finding nothing...

Good. Now he can focus on recruiting a point guard with no distractions.

Is Tyler sleeping on the couch...?

There's nothing to research. It's an unsubstantiated, unverifiable Internet rumor that has been floating around for a long time now (and of course, has grown legs from the trolls during the losing stretch). True or not, it's also got exactly nothing to do with this team and its performance, so I'm not about to start caring about it now.

"dude....Bill Self is my neighbor. ...Yeah, right next to me! #25B I kid you not!"

:D

I would imagine things get back on track tomorrow for KU. Hard to see them losing 2 in a row at home.

Good question:

When was the last time KU lost 2 home games in a single season?

Wasnt referring to the team and its performance...

Was wondering about the rumor.. As this is the first I have heard of it...

Call me slow if you want...

Are we being trolled or is this for real?

Again, consider the sources...

2006-2007, Oral Roberts and Texas A&M

Oh yeah....Acie Law. :cuss:

Is he in the NBA? Or did he just show up against us. It seems like he took that program pretty far, pretty much by himself.

I think he was in the league a short time but had knee problems. An outstanding collegian

He was drafted 11th overall by the Hawks. He lasted 5 years and 5 teams in the NBA and is now in Greece.

Yes he was. He made Billie Gallespie a shitload of money.

Wasn't very good, but lasted 4 years. In Europe now.

Well, if he got a first round contract, he's probably doing better than I am.

Doing better than Sherron, too. I don't think he's even playing basketball anywhere right now.

That's too bad. He had talent enough to do so.
