Says 5 seeds are 3-1 vs. 2 seeds. Everytime I get confidence for tomorrow, crap like this happens.

We'll need to leave SOMETHING to tear down next Monday.

F*ck it. Invade Lawrence if we win it all.

"We've already taken your goal posts. We've come back for the rest."

I was talking to a KU fan the other day. He said we'll never be a rivalry like Mizzou is because we didn't burn down their town.

Bring on the fracking rivalry. They'll forget Mizzou exists once we get done with Lowrentz.

Got to drink some home brewed IPA today at work.

Very jealous of this. Tallgrass IPA and Boulevard Pale Ale will have to do.

Excellent, in-depth, relaxing analysis. I feel much better about a JYC victory. Thanks, Andy.

I kept getting mad at customers for coming in today. I was thinking, "Don't you idiots know what day it is? Go home and prepare for the game!"

Customers are jerks.

Great talking point about KU beating K-State this year. We haven't heard it enough. Got any original material? No? Care to respond to the fact that the tournament going on right now determines who is the best team this year? No? Your jedi skills are great, but they get old.

And yeah, KU has better talent that K-State. No one tried to recruit Pullen, amongst other players we have. Everyone and their mom tried to recruit all of KU's players. Why don't we switch players, have Martin coach yours, Self coach ours, and see who wins?

Yeah, but every talking point I've heard for why he was a good/great coach is because of his recruiting. Jeez, Doc is a better X's and O's coach than that Self character.

Self #1? 

The guy won the Big 12 and went to the Sweet Sixteen in a rebuilding year. 

And has underaccomplished BY FAR in 3 tournaments (most awesomely, this year). Everyone says he's a great coach because of recruiting. KU's history is what recruits for them. Also, bring porn stars to games. Also, being on TV every game, even when they play crap teams in the beginning of the season. Choking. That's all Self has done in the postseason, which is the only thing that matters in college basketball. Big XII titles are great, and I will love it when we win one, the tournament is where things are accomplished.

'cuse will play much harder now because of this. we def have no shot at final four.

This is what I thought until I saw the way the rest of the Big East was playing. My wishful thinking tells me that Cuse is overhyped just as much as Villanova and G'Town. However, these type of thoughts usually just make it hurt more when we lose.

This has been my thought from the day they got hurt. When I saw how much an injury hurt Purdue's seed, I saw that Cuse had every reason in the world to lie about his injury not being that bad. Does this help our percent, or was it already factored in?

Confirmed. He used to own a bit, but sold his share over a year ago. I work at Bluestem. Probably would have quite a long time ago if Wade was still part of it.

Anybody eaten there at all yet? The menu looks pretty interesting (I'm told it was created by the guy that owns Bluesteam Bistro).

Is it Wade Radina that opened it up or the other guy. If it was Wade that opened it up I'd def eat there

that guy is a piece of crap

This. I used to work for him. Treats every employee like a POS, only thinks of things from a business standpoint, etc. The only time he makes friends is when it helps him for the business. He also hit my friends' dogs for wagging their tail and accidentally hitting him (for pet lovers out there). He steals ideas and menu items from other places, etc. I could go on for a while.

The Palace is great food. Little pricey, but definitely worth the try.

We'd have to have some unbelievably stupid play to be equivalent to Bishop's fumble. Like, Jake missing a lay-up that would have won it, or missing four free throws before the end of regulation.

still doesn't compare to 98. 

This. I still have nightmares about that loss. However, it makes things like Iowa St. losses, Huggins losses, and KU losses seem like nothing. Thanks Michael Bishop.

I thought the like was only one-way and that you guys still hate us a lot until I saw this thread

Don't let these guys get to you 42.  I'll still cheer against your guys.   

That makes 2 Steves.

Mods please ban Stevsie for Identity theft and while your at it get rid of the Benja character.

TIA

Well, close. I tend to think of myself as a steve dave junior, with high hopes that in ten years I'll have the BBIQ that he has. But in the mean time, I don't need HBBIQ to know who to cheer for, or against, as the case may be.

I wish the Cats had a player named B.J.

100% agree, would hold a sign saying "who doesn't love a good BJ"

Mine would say, "Thanks for the offer Townsend, but we already have our BJ".
