“It’s sad,” Self said. “We were definitely a better team with (Johnson) sitting down next to us and putting somebody else in the game.”

“I should’ve been playing (White) before,” Self added. “He gave us a chance to be in the game.”

[pissclams]

self:  hey elijah, i know you're not a point guard but i'm going to play you at  the 1 this season.  don't worry- we know there will be growing pains but i think it's best for you and best for the team if you make the switch from the 2.  we need you, big guy.  here's your chance to step up.

ej:  sure thing coach, whatever you think is best for the team

self:  we were definitely a better team with (Johnson) sitting down next to us and putting somebody else in the game, i should have played his back up instead.

EJ probably headed for a violation of team rules and dismissal from team.

has that ever happened to a KU player?

Bill might of added you have been on campus for 3 years and I have failed to find quality pg but this is all your fault.

Also, the thread title made me think this was about a real like bus accident involving Self and Doc

How long until EJ gets EJ sr involved and Cheyenne Zulu gets a private meeting going?

LOL if this guy knows who contributed his extra chromosome.

That BB looks abnormally far away.  Is that the little bb that Pizza Hut used to give out in the early '90's?

How will Kansas respond?
The Jayhawks are 19-2, but there is definitely a "sky is falling" atmosphere in Lawrence following Saturday's home loss to Oklahoma State. Bill Self shredded his team in the postgame news conference -- "Physically, this is our softest group of all time," he said -- and fans are blasting players (particularly point guard Elijah Johnson) on message boards. KU has what should be an easy game at TCU on Wednesday, but beating Oklahoma in Norman on Saturday will be a tall task for a team that suddenly has a lot of question marks.

PHOG!!!

The Johnson family poses for a portrait in this photo from Christmas, 2009. They are, back row from left, Elijah, mother Cledra and father Marcus Sr., and Elijah’s siblings Marcel, front, and Ariana. Though he was born in Gary, Ind., Elijah graduated from high school in Las Vegas, where his Kansas University team will play games Friday and Saturday.

It happened to Giddens after he was stabbed.

Still butthurt about getting punked again in AFH West, I see.  That's our goEMAW.

It's true.  How should we handle it?

Weak, beems. You know that this thread was going to exist and always would exist regardless of the sunflower shootout outcome.

Redundant.

Yeah, I'm sure this has nothing to do with it:

BMWJayhawk, I was right about Naadir Tharpe and you were wrong. See, I copy/pasted this convo from last year so you could see:

All I know is that Naadir Tharpe wouldn't start for Manhattan High. He's absolutely terrible. So small and ugly too.

He is better than any of the guards on your roster, and I'm not kidding when I say that. 

He's garbage. I'm dead serious.

You're an idiot who knows nothing about basketball, or sports in general, for that matter.  I'm completely serious. 

Looks like I was right about Naadir in the headlights Tharpe. Kid just isn't ready for big time college basketball. TT has to play 33 minutes on a bum knee because Naadir can't play with Davidson?  Kid is lost out there.

He's probably that surprised/excited everytime he manages to not cost his team the game.

Tharpe has been KU's sixth man this season and is actually having a really solid year.  He's shooting 35% from three and 88% from the free throw line, and had a couple clutch buckets in KU's win over K-State.  You'll be even more wrong when he starts next season.
