Open Game Thread :: Game #16 :: Kansas State Wildcats 11-4 (0-1) @ Kansas Jayhawks 11-4 (0-0)

Kansas St. Wildcats at Kansas Jayhawks, Jan 13, 2009 7:00 PM CST


Like I said earlier, this is pretty much a must-win game. Not for glorious reasons or anything, simply because we can't afford bad losses currently.

And while there are things to be nervous about, like Jacob Pullen or Jamar Samuels, all-in-all, we are in good shape. They really don't have anyone who can match up with Cole, and we tend to play much, much better at Allen. Especially the freshmen.

The Morris twins have to at least play competently, without fouling out, tonight. If they do that, and we get enough contribution from that big, tall white guy, we should be A-OK.

Promise.

Kansas 72 Kansas State 60

Yeah.

They just switched all of the formats back in the spring. So, Denver, did you ever show up to a SB Nation blog with the old format? It really is a helluva lot different. It is so much better now, it isn’t really even funny.

Yeah.

These threads have never really terribly active, until the last three games or so. And in one of the threads, someone (can’t remember who) referenced the Texas SB Nation blog, Burnt Orange Nation, and that they had 4000 comments for the Fiesta Bowl.

So, yeah, it’s been an inside joke since that we have to hit 4000.

The realistic goal is probably like 350-400. Not bad, but not quite Fiesta Bowl-level yet.

Not all of 'em.

As with most blogs, there are plenty of good, solid contributors. Those are usually the ones who come first; those with rational thoughts, who can form coherent sentences and can deal with other people without blowing their top. That’s the nice part about a blog that has many active users as RCT. They are all intelligent, know their basketball and football and, most importantly, aren’t simply Joe Fan that spews cuss words and hurls insults at the opposing players and that kind of stuff. It’s fine to get pissed off, and stuff, and we all do, but I definitely think that the bigger the blog is, the more people are on the blog that are simply angry people, and they freak out all the time. And when they freak out, it almost always ends up in cuss words.

A good example of this is the local Chiefs blog, Arrowhead Pride. It used to be one of my favorite blogs, easy, as it was a lot like this one is now; a core group of like 20-25 commenters who were all active, all rational, all intelligent, all of that good stuff. Loved the place. I was incredibly active. Now, it’s almost delved into KC Star status. Not the fault of Chris or anyone there, it’s just that with immense popularity, you’re bound to come across some idiots who don’t know how to deal with emotions.

Wow. That shouldn’t have been that long…

by rockchalk on Jan 13, 2009 6:49 PM CST up reply actions  

I still think you get way more rational folks on these SB Nation blogs...

even the big ones than you do on newspaper sites etc…folks on here tend to do a pretty good job of policing themselves and when something isn’t worth the time…it tends to show in the attention it gets.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.

by Owen on Jan 13, 2009 6:52 PM CST up reply actions  

I agree.

I was basically saying that some of the newspaper folks come over to the bigger blogs at SB and that’s what I don’t like. But the faction of rational people far outweighs the irrational, which makes blogs, like you say, infinitely better than newspaper sites.

Check above. Couldn’t agree more. I was there a couple of years ago (yes, years), and it was awesome. Like this place is now, really. It just got way too big, and too many people over there are just so incompetent and don’t know how to deal with their emotions.

I still visit, and plenty of the people (the majority, even) are great. And I love Chris. But I rarely show up for game threads, and if the name is chiefsfan23232534 or something like that, I don’t even think about clicking on the link.

But, to me at least, there is a gargantuan difference between saying shit in the middle of a sentence and screaming after a missed three fuckity fuck fuck.

Y’know what I mean? As long as it is the first, I’m good. But if people go with the second consistently, that’s just stupid. And doesn’t belong ANYWHERE. Except in the bar.

YES is a member of the Big 12 Network, so it shows just about every Big 12N game. So, yeah, that’s nice.

I have DirecTV, so I watch them on all of the local channels. I could watch FullCourt, and I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be able to watch the game unless I bought FC, but I prefer to watch them on local channels. Just can’t stand all of the ESPN commercials on FullCourt, and avoid whenever I have a choice.

Little over Morris.

Makes sense. The Morris twins both played absolutely terrible up in East Lansing, and Bill is probably just trying to send a message.

Plus, I think that Mario is probably our second best “pure rebounder” on the team. He is really good at boxing folks out, and has been pretty aggressive going up and grabbing the ball.

Hopefully he can finally get a FG, though.

Well, they won the second four minutes.

Right? 18-0 to 20-5.

Of course, we played with four subs and Sherron in there. We’ve got a solid, nine-man rotation going on right now. I like it. It does appear, though, that Quintrell Thomas is officially done until next season. Except for extreme foul trouble or garbage time, he doesn’t look to be getting any PT any time soon.

A solid end to the half. After our ungodly start, we pretty much played him even afterward. I mean, sure, they outscored us, but a large part of that is simply their shots regressing to the mean.

That’s what I’ve noticed, as well. We are generally sound when it comes to boxing out, just we don’t actually end up getting the ball.

I guess for me...

if your boxing out at the start but then letting your man beat you to the ball…you’re not boxing out good enough or long enough.

Huge three there by Brady.

He has played pretty bad all game long, especially on offense, but that bucket was huge. I was holding my breath when it went up.

That doesn’t fall, and they get a board, they still have all the momentum. But that three gave us a shitload of mo, a missed three by the Powercats and BOOM, all of a sudden it’s an eight point game.

Back to live.

One quick note on Memphis. It’s hard to really blame them for being in such a shitty conference. It used to be one of the country’s best, and then the Big East took three of the top 4 schools (Marquette, Louisville and Cincinnati). So, they were just left all alone.

Sure, I suppose you can blame them somewhat, but it really isn’t their fault the rest of their conference sucks.

by rockchalk on Jan 13, 2009 8:52 PM CST reply actions  

I don't blame Memphis...

I blame the kids who aren’t up for a challenge and choose to go there still even though the conference is now a joke.

Biggest play of the game:

Morningstar’s three when it got down to three. Basically, it was the reverse of the Michigan State game, where Sherron’s missed three basically ruined the game for good. Instead, this time, Brady’s made three, and the ensuing missed three by the Powercats (as opposed to the ensuing made three in East Lansing) let us get the lead up to 8 really quick.

Never really threatened again.

Good, solid win.

Fabulous start, OK rest of the game. We were outscored after the 18-0 run, but only by 2.

Happy with the victory. Tremendous performance from Tyshawn, and pretty solid nights from Cole and Sherron. No one else really showed up big time, but everyone at least played OK, and everyone not named Travis Releford scored that played significant minutes.

Morris' both played better tonight

by Owen on Jan 13, 2009 9:22 PM CST up reply actions  

Yeah.

Checking the box score, he did end up with 4 fouls, but at least two or three of them were excusable this time. He still is way too handsy when he is covering the low post, and got all of his calls IIRC there, but he is for sure getting better.

by rockchalk on Jan 13, 2009 9:23 PM CST up reply actions  

+1.

I love Marcus. And Markieff didn’t do too bad himself at going after the ball. They both are certainly getting less finesse and more physical with each game.

And, I did forget Little. Although he didn’t play tremendously all-around; just shot the ball really, really well.

Oh, and I forgot to mention.

Biggest OGT in the history of Rock Chalk Talk! YAY!

We’ll do one of those cute little post charts sometime later tonight, and I’ll try and provide some basic thoughts. Then, onwards to a not-so-compelling game against the Buffs. However, next Monday night, on Big Monday, should be a really good game. A crucial game, really, as we are playing a good team, but a team we should definitely beat in aTm.

It's pretty hard telling with him so far but I think he might...

be coming with a decision relatively soon, I think the whole visit thing is starting to get a little old for him…would love to get him though.

The won their first on the road in the SEC.

Thought they’d whip Kentucky, but 54 is pretty insane.

Ridiculous.

10-15 from three, perfect from the FT line.

Amazing performance.

Sorry I missed it

You guys are doing great. But, like I said, for nationally televised games, I won’t post much(or like today, not at all). So even if I can’t watch it, I can still come here with this great group of people.

Insanity is just a state of mind.

Another great job on your guys' part...

good banter and more importantly, a good win for the Hawks. Now let’s go get one on the road.

i was workin last night and missed everything

how did they look? judging by the box score, it’s great to see Taylor step up; that’s one of the things i was calling for after the MSU debacle.

by Danny Satan on Jan 14, 2009 10:45 AM CST reply actions  

My take on last night...

Started great…from there it was about what I’ve grown to expect from this team at home so far…that being, much better than on the road.

Certainly we are far from great but Tyshawn’s performance was a welcome sign. Sherron played out of control but as usual made it look good in the end. The Morris twins looked better…don’t get me wrong there is still a long way to go, but I wasn’t pulling my hair out. Mario Little actually looked like a new man last night, smooth jumper and probably the one player on the team right now that plays with the toughness Bill Self demands.

All in all we started out hot and then played K-State even most of the way resulting in a sizeable win. I think toughness and hustle are the fundamentals we still lack from start to finish. I remember one play where Taylor kind of half dove for a loose ball and I remember thinking to myself…we don’t see that as much this year as we usually do. It’ll come, I’m still patient. Look forward to having you back for future OGT’s in the future Danny…

I remember

you guys talking about Danny Satan’s exciting entrance to RCT… Maybe you could fill me in a bit and entertain me with a funny story…?

by Andy Edwards on Jan 14, 2009 1:51 PM CST up reply actions  

it wasn't really that big of a deal but basically...

Danny recently appeared out of nowhere on one of the fanposts I believe and proceeded to tell us how disappointed he was in all of us and the poor activity level shown by the fans on here. He then disappeared for a while, however folks like Warden, Hunter, 2.1, Labbadabba and Esteban took his words as a challenge and the next open game thread we went from something like 12 posts the game before to over 300 or something. We also started seeing more fanposts, comments, fanshots and new members like yourself step up and join.

So while Danny’s initial entrance came across as a bit abrasive, perhaps it was a blessing in disguise and he has since confirmed he is in fact a KU fan as many of us had our doubts thinking perhaps he was a rival “flamer” if you will.

Perhaps someday though when RCT has reached the blog Hall of Fame we will all look back at Danny’s appearance as the day RCT got it’s act together and began it’s ascent to greatness. Danny might just have a special place in this little story. Think of it like in VH1’s behind the music when the strung out no good rocker nearly OD’s on heroine only to realize the er of his ways and come back stronger than ever, regaining fans and making music like never before.

There you have it…my best attempt at making this a funny and grand story…I hope you like it and to Danny Satan I just have to say…Well played my friend, Well played (slow clap starts in the background)

hmmmm....

don’t know if I’d go that far…like I said above he’s more like heroine to a rockstar at this point.

I'd argue

that that would be a fair analogy as to what Allah is to the suicide bombers…. Just sayin’
