KU BASKETBALL

I have bit my tongue much of this basketball season but that is about to stop. I can no longer sit back and hope that Bill Self can turn this team of around. If it was going to happen, it would of already.

Never before have I seen a KU team show no heart, no effort and most importantly no freaking CLUE.

Darrell Arthur, Brandon Rush & Mario Chalmers are nowhere near ready for the NBA

The only players that play with any emotion are Jackson & Robinson. The two players that were suppose to be after thoughts when compared to the spoiled brats mentioned above.

If they come out ranked in the top 10 this week it will be a joke. This team should be ranked 15th in the country.

KU WINS

GREAT GAME!
And played out just as I predicted below.
THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM IS OFFICIALLY LEGIT

GAMEDAY


Tonight when KU takes the field vs V Tech it will be the biggest football game in the history of the University.

Things to watch
  • This game will not be a 10 point game. It will either be a blow out by Virginia Tech or a 3 point win by KU.
  • The pressure tonight will be on the the Kansas Defense. The KU offense and VT defense will cancel each other out so it is up to the D to cause turnovers and give the Jayhawks good field position.
  • Special Teams will be key. VT has a long tradition of great special teams play and this year is no exception. KU has a good special teams, VT has a great special teams.
  • KU wants it more. Let's just hope that doesn't equal the same type of nervous start that they had vs Missouri.
  • If KU wants to become a respected football program they must win this game. A win here will help in recruiting and validate the turnaround that Mangino has performed.
Enjoy and good luck.

KEVIN KIETZMAN SETTING HIMSELF UP TO BE SUED?

The accusations that Kevin Kietzman is throwing out in regards to Lew Perkins contact with Orange Bowl officials is border line slander? Kietzmans hatred for all things KU may just land his but in court. He claims to have sources saying for a fact that Lew Perkins contacted the Orange Bowl and promised to sell x amount of tickets if they got the nod over MU, all without the BIG 12 office knowing. Did he not have time to plan out a show today?

MU CRIES TO BIG 12 OFFICE

KU MIGHT NOT GET THE ORANGE BOWL.

There is going to be an investigation into how Perkins handled the Orange Bowl negotiations.

KU FACES BIG FINES.

WHAT A BUNCH OF BABIES!

KU ORANGE BOWL TRAVEL INFO



Yahoo has a great travel guide for Miami. LINK

Fort Lauderdale travel guide: Link

ORANGE BOWL TICKETS: LINK
Tickets are going for $150 a piece

From what I have been told it is easier to fly into Ft Lauderdale and stay there than Miami. It is closer to the stadium and a little cheaper.

KU TO THE ORANGE BOWL


Many people doubted it but
I TOLD YOU that you didn't have to sell your soul to the devil in order for KU to go to a BCS BOWL. I hope that those of you that cheered for MU feel extra dirty today.

POLL RESULTS - BIGGER KU RIVAL

MU BY A LANDSLIDE: 48 VOTES FOR MU. 6 VOTES FOR K STATE.

IF YOU ARE A FAN OF KU

Why would you want to root for MU to win on Saturday? Do not believe the talk about us needing MU to win in order for KU to go to a BCS BOWL, it is false. There are plenty of scenarios that could play out in order for KU to still make it to a Fiesta Bowl.

Cheering for your rival to win the National Title or even the Big 12 title doesn't make any sense at all.

GOT JOKES?

The emails have been flowing all week at work, home, text messages, message boards and even in the grocery store check out. Here are some of the better ones I have received over the past 4 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A KU fan was driving home from a national taxidermy convention in St. Louis. He got kind of tired and hungry, and decided to pull over to a quaint little bar in Columbia to get a bite to eat.

He stepped inside, and immediately could feel the whole place's eyes on him. It was clear these people didn't take to kindly to outsiders. They were rather rough, country hillbilly looking folk. Just the same, he stepped up to the bar and sat down.
The redneck looking-guy behind the bar eyed the KU fan suspiciously. "What are you doin' here?" he snarled. The KU fan said simply, "I'd like something to eat."

"Who are you?" growled the hillbilly. "Well," said the KU fan, "I'm heading back to Kansas--I just attended the taxidermy convention over the weekend."

All of the eyes in the place were still on him. "Taxidermy? What the hell is that?"

"Well, I clean and mount dead animals."

Immediately the KU fan could sense the tension in the bar start to ease. "Don't worry about it Jimbo," the hillbilly called back into the kitchen. "He's one of us."
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: What do you call a beautiful woman on the arm of an MU fan?

A: A tattoo
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What's the difference between a room full of Mizzou fans and a litter of puppies?
The puppies will stop whining eventually.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A guy walks into a bar in Columbia, sits down at the bar and tells the bartender he has a great Missouri joke. The bartender states, "before you tell that joke, the two guys working the door played football at MU, the other bartender played basketball at MU, and the three guys at the other end of the bar were born and raised here in Columbia. Now I ask you, are you sure you want to tell that joke?" The guy replies, "hell no, I don't want to explain it seven times."

Pink·el [pink - ehl], noun, verb, - ed, - ing

- noun

1. An unexpected sub-par team performance in NCAA football, usually resulting in a untimely and inopportune loss. The game usually features questionable coaching decisions and lack of adjustments.

Jim Tressel pulled a Pinkel when he lost at home against an underdog Illinois team, severely hurting the Buckeye's national championship hopes.

tr.v. pinkel - ed, pinel - ing

1. The completion or ongoing action of a Pinkel.

Mike Gundy stood stoically on the sideline as he Pinkeled away the game to Troy University.

Word History: The word Pinkel started as slang during the 2003 NCAA football season, when a talented Missouri football team traveled to Lawrence, KS and was upset by an unheralded squad that had finished 2-10 the previous season. Missouri went on to finish the season at 8-5, a 3 game improvement, but some questions lingered about Coach Pinkel's ability to match up with his border rival.
The word became an accepted part of the English vernacular during the 2004 season when Pinkel's Tigers, a pre-season Big 12 North favorite, lost in embarrassing fashion to Troy University, a program that just recently attained Division 1 status. Noted football analyst Lee Corso noted Pinkel's lack of adjustments and extreme "deer in headlights" look during the game. The word was applicable throughout the season and every season thereafter. The most egregious Pinkel by the Tigers during 2004 was against the rival Jayhawks, 3-7 at the time and starting their 4th string QB. They came to Columbia and upset a Missouri team still fighting for an opportunity to represent the Big 12 North in the conference championship game.
2005 and 2006 featured examples that cemented the word's meaning.

In 2005, the Tigers lost for the third straight season to the Jayhawks, during a period where the Kansas squad was mired in its worst offensive slump during the Mark Mangino era. The loss once again kept the Tigers from representing the Big 12 North in the Big 12 title game. In 2006, after a 6-0 start, coach Pinkel proceeded to lose a game after a generous pay raise. He also pulled possibly his greatest Pinkel, losing to an Iowa State squad spiraling out of control playing for a lame duck coach. The Big 12 denied Pinkel's request that the game be counted as a "moral victory" due to a controversial holding call near the end of the 4th quarter.
2007 has seen a lack of a Pinkel, as the Missouri coach fights to render the meaning of the word empty. He will get an opportunity in the season's most meaningful game, a match up against an 11-0 Jayhawk squad on a neutral field.

KU FOOTBALL ON THE COVER OF SI


NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
NOT THE CURSE!

K State crybabies


It amazes me how many K State football fans (something that didn't exist 12 years ago) are jumping on the MU Football program bandwagon. This is almost as big of a game for them as it is for KU or MU. I have several friends that played football back in the mid 90's for Snyder and they are embarrassed by the way that their fans are acting. They feel that the more that K State fans jump on the MU bandwagon the better it makes KU's success, they are right.

K State fans are new to cheering for athletics so they have no real loyalty. Most K State fans didn't even know they had a football team until the early 90's. Then on the day they were to honor the man that turned around (for a few years) their football program, they couldn't even fill up the stadium. This is why K State can never be a real rival, they don't get it. When would you ever catch a KU fan cheering for an MU or K State victory? When would you catch a KU fan acting as if K State or MU was their team? You wouldn't.
K State fans need to sit this one out and develop your own historic rivalries instead of jumping on ours. You are just embarrassing yourselves.
