That home game they blew against Houston was a season killer.

Nah, they just weren't that good. Not top-25 even.

Are they quietly ushering Bill out the door? Golf is prioritizing spending on football both for talent and finishing thee North Korean stadium project and the hawkers shooting blanks in the portal. Target Devon Williams to NCS removed the last obstacle in the way of our signing PJ. They're now pinning all their hopes on "generational"talent Peterson. Given Self's track recordd with 5-stars, that seems risking. And Jasque Vaughn is the fans'new hope to transition the program out of the plantation era and into the NIL reality.

I don't know how soon they can nudge him out the door but he's for sure washed.

yes.  They also fired Fred Quartlebaum this week. I'm assuming they will hire another DOBO and not just go without one.

The real question: is ku - culturally speaking - ready for a black head basketball coach? I’m not sure the fans are quite ready for that. But when that day comes…#jacquesandawe

KU has never had a black head basketball coach....but then again they have only had 8 coaches in 125 years.

If we go back 8 coaches at ole Kansas State U we get all the way back to Lon Kruger.

It’s honestly one of the most remarkable things in college sports.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The dad of a guy I worked with was Wilt Chamberlain's roommate at KU.  He said that despite all that Chamberlain did for KU basketball, he was treated poorly in Lawrence because he was black.  He described situations where townies would spit at him, call him the n word, etc.  I don't know Lawrence has ever been as progressive as some of the alumni wish to pretend.

thanks for this

That included a mention of the "National Industrial Basketball League" which I didn't know had existed. Pretty interesting in that it was still a direct competitor with the NBA even though it was semi-pro - the NBA was on pretty shaky ground in the 50s/early 60s. Several eventual NBA all-stars played in the league (including Bob Boozer).
