Well

Things happen when I'm bored in Food Science...

My favorite

Is some spicy Jerk Jayhawk.  The spice really cuts through that rotton flavour.

Beat them beakers.

Well...I'M in comments...

...let's see who else shows up.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:06 PM CST   0 recs

We won the tip!

...and then ESPN switched back over to the asswhoopin' that is Louisville/Marquette.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:07 PM CST   0 recs

70 seconds in...

...and it's already 5-3.  Can't say we want this game going too quickly.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:09 PM CST   0 recs

oh lord...

...Volkus picks up his second foul 90 seconds in.  Awesome.  Does anybody know if the two shitheads are playing tonight?

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:09 PM CST   0 recs

The Kaun Alley-Oop

Can't be a show of good karma....

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:14 PM CST   0 recs

my wife just said the same thing...

...not cool.  The better team shouldn't also get to be the luckier team.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:15 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Don't try to run with them...

...we're moving too quickly here...we need to dumb this down a little bit.

And I see Horton and Butterfield in warmups on the bench.  Boo.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:14 PM CST   0 recs

Mike Anderson

shits class and pisses character.

Awesome.

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:17 PM CST   0 recs

son of a...

...we've tipped in TWO of them...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:18 PM CST   0 recs

Carroll and Tiller...

...even when they do something pretty, it don't look pretty...

Now Safford AND Volkus have two fouls...Butters is going to be playing much more than I'd like in this game...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:19 PM CST   0 recs

Keon hot?

Could it be? Is it February 2007 again?

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:21 PM CST   0 recs

Rebounding

Apparently not a priority.

Kaun and Rush had 13 consecutive shots there.

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:23 PM CST   0 recs

you can just sniff out...

...when Lyons is about to make a stupid play.  As soon as he crossed the midcourt line dribbling, I knew we weren't going to score...

KU on a bit of a run here, up 23-17...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:23 PM CST   0 recs

Good time for TV timeout

A KU run here would be deadly, even so early

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:26 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Fran Frischilla...

...just compared the Mizzou defensive style to Jamie Moyer's pitching.  Junk, junk, junk.  I actually like that...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:27 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

yup...

...we've got Bad Leo tonight.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:28 PM CST   0 recs

Bad Leo made the trip

Can we not just find Bad Leo a table at Athena?

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:28 PM CST   0 recs

Butters

Right back at home taking 20 foot jumpers!

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:32 PM CST   0 recs

those are just turnovers

I cannot remember the last time Carroll made a shot that was not a put back or that ugly-ass hook...Butters is about the same...hell...Matt Lawrence is toeing that line as well.

by The Beef on Feb 4, 2008 8:41 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

More and more

I'm liking K-Law and Tiller in the back court. My ideal starting five at the moment:

K Lawrence
Tiller
Good Leo
Volkus
Carroll

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:40 PM CST   0 recs

lost my internet for a bit...

...am back.  And yes, Good Leo's starting to peek out of his shell...I just can't stand watching Butterfield play at this point.  And at some point we have to start actually making open 3-pointers...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:49 PM CST   0 recs

Sherron Collins...

...is a stronger Stefhon Hannah.  Makes the same dumb mistakes, and makes the same killer shots.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:51 PM CST   0 recs

0-6 from distance

3-pointers killing MU

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:51 PM CST   0 recs

yup...

...just being 2-for-6 would put us right in the game.  KU's REALLY tough to beat at Allen, lol...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 8:54 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

12-point deficit at half

First five minutes of the second half will determine if this one's even close

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 8:54 PM CST   0 recs

second half about to start...

...I'm here until the Rock Chalk chant begins.  Then I'm going to bed.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:09 PM CST   0 recs

I was late getting back

The oil wrestling and Dust in the Wind scenes from Old School stole our remote/attention...

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 9:15 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Come on, Demarre...

...make some damn FT's.  (No matter what Fran says, Jackson DID foul him.  Fran's "Hand is part of ball" line has me a little, uhh, thrown.)

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:14 PM CST   0 recs

god bless Big 12 basketball...

...where you're guaranteed to see 17 fouls before the 12 minute timeout of the second half...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:17 PM CST   0 recs

Cole Aldrich

should NOT be embarrassing people on the boards like this.

Aldrich was one of the LEAST athletic players I had the opportunity to cover at the Global Games over the summer (where I had the pleasure of covering Michael Beasley, DeAndre Jordan, Tajuan Porter, etc.). Aldrich looked like he had no business in the Big 12 then, but it's amazing what rebounding against Mizzou will do for your image.

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 9:20 PM CST   0 recs

he's big...

...and none of our players are.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:21 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Athleticism can make up for it in SOME cases

Tajuan Porter outrebounded him on several occasions.

This Tajuan Porter. All 5 feet, 6 inches of him. And Volkus can't throw a hand up?

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 9:27 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

Carroll and Lyons collide...

...and Carroll has to drag himself (literally) off the court.  Awesome.  Because what this team needs is for one of its clean-nosed players to get hurt.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:20 PM CST   0 recs

Arthur converts on third chance

I know they keep track of second chance points.

Do they keep track of fourth chance points? Because KU would be KILLING us in that column.

by rptgwb on Feb 4, 2008 9:29 PM CST   0 recs

lyons just continuously went for the block...

...instead of going for the rebound.  He was directly under the basket, so I guess it really didn't matter, but still...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:30 PM CST to parent up   0 recs

we just don't have the horses....

...our guards are playing pretty well (3-point shooting aside), but they're imposing their will (and making their FT's) inside.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:29 PM CST   0 recs

this whole "dribble penetration" thing...

...I wish we'd had this in our arsenal earlier this season, when we were yanking up 25 3-pointers in games...

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:39 PM CST   0 recs

checkin' in

too good tonight. missed our chance to get 'em at home three weeks ago.

by stlcardinalsfang on Feb 4, 2008 9:52 PM CST   0 recs

boy...

...I wish Matt Lawrence had shot like this last year...just so I'd have known what to expect this year.  This is brutal.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 9:56 PM CST   0 recs

grr...

...make fun of us all you want for making it to the Orange Bowl.  36-28, bitches.  Nothing's going to change that.

by The Boy on Feb 4, 2008 10:01 PM CST   0 recs

the chorus should be starting any moment...

...so I think I'm checking out.  Later fellas.
