I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]
Went to the Coaches for Cancer sponsor reception this evening.... met HCFM and Bill Self, Anderson, and UMKC's coach as well as Norm.
Frank was great, and took a picture with me. I got a chance to wish him luck this year and tell him how proud and thankful I was for the ride last season. He was very gracious and kind.
Self is nice but a little cocky. But everyone was on his dick so I can completely understand how he could be a little stand off-ish. People were lining up to interrupt him and talk and shit. I imagine it would get a little old.
Anywho, really nice event. The UMKC coach brought his daughter up on stage - she is fighting cancer - and talked about the importance of funding research. Really cool to see how this event or program has gone full circle. [Reply]

I heard Coach Brown talk about that on the Border patrol earlier this week, hopefully his daughter makes a full recovery and he can make the 'Roos competitive this season. [Reply]

Gawd, I can't wait to watch our football team make a bowl game (I've watched 3 years of crap football as a student, it's about time we make one!) then watch the bball team build off of last year.
I got a good feeling about Wally this year... [Reply]

They should make it this year. N. Texas is just as bad as KU is. The other games, well.... it's a toss up. Don't like my chances against Missouri, and as far as the others are concerned, well.... it's hard to tell, really. Colorado? Maybe. Baylor? I don't know. Okie Light? Texas?
I'll be impressed if they go 4-4 in the conference, considering they're 2-1 currently. [Reply]
