Pretty pumped up for this one

In-conference showdowns with top teams is where its at, especially with the round-robin schedule we have this year.
Here’s to a nice run in the first 10 minutes and the opportunity to play with the lead through the game.
GO HAWKS!

Looks like the Pitt-Syracuse game is going to go late (shocker!!!)

In light of that, then, give me your best shot at:

1. How much time is left in the first half when ESPN finally switches over to the KU game;

and

2. What is the score at that time?

I'll go first:

My guess is they switch over at about 16:30 left, and Baylor leads 7-4.

I'm watching the Weis presser right now

Getting pumped for football season. I know we aren’t going to turn into a bowl team overnight, but I’m optimistic we’ll be improved and Weis will get us going in the right direction, even if it takes a while

GREAT presser.

Such a difference from the last two years. I came away impressed with Weis and impressed with Crist. It’s just nice to listen to someone who really gives off a sense of confidence and understanding of the game etc.

Big difference is that Taylor adjusted sideways and the Baylor guy flopped, instead of just leaning into the charge of a guy who was basically way out of control going to hit him anyway whether he leaned or not.

I should probably wait till the end of the game to say this

But it looks like the lightbulb has come on for Taylor. He has been playing out of his mind for stretches during the last two games, and he can just tale over a game defensively and offensively for stretches, which is what great players do.

Those UK and UCLA streaks are from a different era. To do it today is amazing

Great off-ball defense by EJ there.

Tracked Heslip (or whatever his name is) all over the court through screens both ways.

If we were playing the "and yet another rebound for Robinson" drinking game

I wouldn’t be able to comprehend english at this point

What about Withey?

His offensive rebounding has been ridiculous.

People try to sing along to that?

I remember when they tried piping in music during timeouts a few years ago, and ditched it after one game when Self complained that it was deflating the atmosphere.

Great Game, but

this was a home game. We were supposed to win this one. The big one are @ Iowa St., @ K-State, @Baylor, and @Mizzou.

by bt01 on Jan 16, 2012 10:38 PM CST reply actions  

I think Iowa State is the biggest

I honestly think we can lose at all three of KState, Baylor and Missouri and still win the league. Not that I think we’ll lose at all three of course.

I think that’s exactly right. If we can hold serve at home, 15-3 definitely ought to get it done

There are no official requirements anymore

He had some pre-cancerous stuff removed a few weeks back.

About the size of a stick of gum, uniform brick red color. Just looked like he got popped recently.

On his forehead?

Because that’s where the stuff he had removed was. I didn’t see his interview tonight, so I’m not sure what you guys are referring to.
