Obviously, too early to say anything for sure, but it certainly isn’t good news.

Maybe I’m overreacting, but hospitalization is never good, especially when it involves one of our best basketball players.

Prepare for fallout.

Didn’t Joc Crawford transfer?

I’ve got a friend whose wife saw T2 at the hospital this evening getting his hand x-rayed.

this initial report is kind of shocking, really hope it isn’t true because it could turn into kind of a big deal

It’s always two steps forward, one step back, isn’t it?

We’ll probably never know what really happened, but these things usually involve women, money, drugs, or stupid regionalism BS. Is anyone on the football team from the Northeast?

McDougald is from Ohio- doubt there’s any natural beef there with Jersey City. I once read an article about Sherron Collins’ upbringing that said there’s a code in Chicago that gangs aren’t to mess with promising athletes from the area. This probably isn’t true in other areas- remember J.R. Giddens?

I feel like Mangino won’t hesitate to suspend someone for the season or even boot them off the team, the latter being more likely. This is scary.

Guess anthony davis was messing with bball players girl and b ball players said they were gonna jump him. he called some football players and fight broke out… he;s giving me more details when he finds out so ill try and keep yall updated

KU15 (anonymous) says…

AD kicked Tyshawn’s A**, punk deserved it too

If AD’s the one messing with another’s girl, shouldn’t he be the “punk”?

didn’t we all see what happened last year with the OU basketball team? Women ain’t nothin but trouble.

You all are looking at this completely the wrong way. If we ever had a signal that our football team mattered it was this!! Reading through the thread it seems folks are saying that a KANSAS FOOTBALL player…was able to steal the girl of a KANSAS BASKETBALL player which led to fisticuffs. 6 years ago, I don’t even know if the basketball team could have identified the football team let alone feel threatened by them. This is PROGRESS!!!!

All kidding aside, boys will be boys…this is stupid but Tyshawn is going to feel the brunt of this if he’s injured for any significant time. All you can do is live and learn.

Also this sounds like it was just a scuffle and Tyshawn dislocated a finger due to poor punch throwing form. Stuff like this happens at every bar on every college campus almost every night of the weekend so I could care less regardless of what the media choose to make of it.

I’m sure glad I woke up to this. What the hell? Over some girl? If you play football, and especially bball, at Kansas I’m pretty sure you can have a different girl every day of the school year if you want. Good lord.

to ESPN’s Dana O’Neil here.

Oh, and the story’s on the ESPN.com front page. So that’s wonderful.

obviously they should have used better judgment, but hey it happens. I would say a suspension for one game and then they are on notice not to fuck up again.

Witnesses have reported a further scuffle near Wescoe Hall around 10 a.m.

Story here.

Here.

Fark.

Dezmon Briscoe is involved

basketball players being escorted into and out of campus, police involved…time to grow up.

But seriously, sorry. Stupid biology test has taken my attention.

Anybody wanna do a recap post? I’ll do it as soon as I get back from class, in like 3 hours or so (yes, it sucks…and I’m just on a 10-minute break right now after two hours of class…Wednesdays suck), but if somebody else wants to just use a lot of links and walk us through everything, I would give you half a million RCT dollars.

They’re slightly more valuable than Schrute bucks or Stanley nickels.

All I got to say is "Boy, that escalated quickly… I mean, that really got out of hand fast. ".

but they do speak to damage control

Where are Soda Pop and Pony Boy? I can understand a fight over a girl but this escalation to where we all get “our boyz” and throw down is so juvenile.

Whomever the two guys are that have an issue with one another, have a fight, get it over with, and everybody move on. Turning it into this huge ordeal is just not smart.

And if Briscoe is somehow involved, Mangino may want to consider suspending him for multiple games. One fuckup is OK but he should be on notice. I hope he isn’t really involved other than being present, but we shall see.

…Are probably the thing that is getting the most national attention right now. All of them are actually rap lyrics, not things he came up with by himself.

So many things about this story fascinate me:

1. There were over 100 people at the first fight- must have been NUTS.

2. Keegan’s “oh by the way, they fight all the time.” What? What else does this guy know that he isn’t telling us?

3. HCBS recruits a bit “edgier” kids than Roy ever did- as someone as EDSBS posted, “you can recruit midwestern farm boys and hope for Danny and the Miracles, or you can go get guys from Philly and win championships.” How much tradeoff is Jayhawk nation willing to tolerate?

4. In baseball, reporters always talk about how this will “actually be good for the team in the long run” because it will “bring them all together.” But they never bring up that angle in basketball or football… I wonder what the difference is there…

A racial slur is a racial slur and should not be used by any member of my school.

What kind of effect will this sort of thing have on recruiting (basketball, I mean)? I feel like it could go one of two ways (and maybe it will be a bit of both).

First, obviously, it’s going to give fodder to schools with whom we’re directly competing for players. I think this definitely hurts us in the Harrison Barnes sweepstakes. If the reports I’ve read about this kid’s character are true, this may be enough to send him to Duke or UNC.

On the other hand, if you’ll pardon the cynicism, some of the kids HCBS recruits come from broken families and tough neighborhoods (okay, most of them, probably), and seeing how the team supports (for lack of a better term, I guess) each other against perceived adversaries, may actually benefit the recruitment of a certain type of player in some backward way. I’m not saying these are the kind of guys we want at KU, but I think the high road is basically an empty highway in College Basketball (and most other revenue-producing sports) these days, so it’ll be interesting to see how this all turns out.

I welcome your thoughts on the subject.

Yeah, that was sarcasm.

Police Report from last night.

Yes this is stupid and a little embarrassing, but I’m still kind of ho-hum about this. If Taylor doesn’t get injured who knows if this is even a story.

one seriously good piece of ass.

Here.

Signed by the team Captains, I think.

Not cool at all. The bad thing is it sounds like this all too common between these two groups around Lawrence.

Poppycock. Balderdash. Fiddlesticks.

if Denver will change his Fantasy team’s name from Denver’s Fightin’ Manginos now.

Denver???
