Today's game against AMW All-Stars

[tm3308]

It was funny the first time, but considering Kansas lost twice in that same gym last year, your "point" is moot.

To be fair, Self didn't play like three seniors or McLemore in the second game (they got blown out in that one).

I would love for this team to be as good as the 2005-06 team that finished 2nd in the Big Ten, won the BTT and was seeded 3rd in the NCAA tourney....those would be great goals for this team.

How come you didn't include the last part of that season? Oh, nevermind...

Any way to follow tonight's game (which starts at 1:30 Central if I'm not mistaken)? I imagine there's no audio broadcast. Twitter feed?

My maternal grandfather was a wise, practical man, who farmed a piece of dirt in Eastern Iowa for nearly 70 years. He always gave me little words of wisdom while I was growing up. One of his favorites seems applicable today. He said "Son, don't base your expectations on exhibition games against French scrubs."

Wise, wise man...

That thought really had nothing to do with theses games.

Cool line though...the first time.

What a strange coincidence ... my paternal grandfather was a wise, practical man who farmed a piece of land in Eastern Iowa for nearly 70 years. He, too, often offered me words of wisdom while I was growing up. The one I remember most vividly, as if he were right here, now, speaking it, was more of a warning ...

"Son, don't go past that fence onto the neighbors land. The man is crazy as cracker jacks and suffers from some sort of delusion he's Aesop or something -- always talking in strange parables and irrelevant analogies to European basketball. Might be some lingering after-shock from the front-lines. Anyway, beware and stay away ... the man ain't right."

Ya suppose they knew each other?

Past returns are not indicative of future results.

Did he mention anything about Canadian football? Cause Grandpa had irrelevant analogies to European basketball and Canadian football. He often accused chestnuts of being lazy.

There's a little blue pill for old guys with lazy chestnuts.

But not lose a 16 pt lead and get beat in the first round of the NCAA tournament...couldn't help it, still ticks me off.

Good team for sure but I always felt they overachieved a bit in a conference that wasn't quite as good as it is now.

I think this years team has allot more talent but probably wont finish second.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing....I was thinking first.

 

[HawkeyeShane]

I think you got that backwords. The country once known as France will from now on simpley be known as Fran.

Well played, Mauer...

Yes, as part of their surrender agreement to the Hawks, they have ceded them the c and e from the end of their former name
