Kansas Jayhawk News and Notes 2.3.12

Kansas Basketball

Border War is about matchups and more - KansasCity.com
“We’re going to embrace the crowd and their fans. This is why we came to Kansas, to play in games like this.”

Columbia contests stand out for Self, KU | KUsports.com
As they should.

Size of the opponent hasn’t mattered to MU’s English - KansasCity.com
This is one of the interesting matchups on Saturday.

Matchups yield mismatches for KU, MU | CJOnline.com
That matchup with Kim English is interesting on both ends of the floor.

Kevin Haskin: KU meant to win games like this, even if discontinued | CJOnline.com
So we’ve got us a cease-fire in the Border War with no truce. KU going to Mizzou for the last time in hoops. And a crowd eager to do anything possible to disrupt the Jayhawks, and anxious to see if the stakes aren’t too high for the Tigers.

Mizzou fan antics don’t rile Robinson | KUsports.com
I like the comment about Sherron Collins

NCAA College Basketball Power Rankings - NCAA Basketball - ESPN
Dip to 6 in this weeks ESPN power rankings.

NCAA College Basketball Player of the Year - CBSSports.com
The march continues.

Kansas Football

An easy sell: defensive coordinator Dave Campo excited for jump from NFL to KU | KUsports.com
Media was able to meet with the assistant coaching staff yesterday.

Grunhard brings his passion to KU football - KansasCity.com
The passion wells up in Tim Grunhard, and because he's sitting inside the Kansas football complex and not working with players on a practice field, the release is hand gestures and pounding the table with his fingers.

College Basketball

Top recruit Nerlens Noel moves back to Class of 2012 - ESPN Boston
This reclassifying trend is an interesting one. Hopefully we can stay ahead of the curve on this. Our upcoming class has recovered nicely but I don't want to miss for a few years and end up thin on the bench again like we are this season.

Saint Mary's, Nevada among most dangerous undefeateds, more mail - Seth Davis - SI.com
Guess we should start familiarizing ourselves with some of these guys. We always seem to get lined up against a good one.

Made a couple of setting changes that should help with the green issue yesterday. I wasn’t aware I could change that so I apologize for the annoyance.

Eh, it didn't hurt anything.

Kind of funny they’re so much better than us, SEC bull shit and all that yet still spend time coming here to do it.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

Wait.

So you mean people really didn’t like any of the crap I wrote yesterday?

Way to deflate my ego.

In the article about TRob...

…and how he handles this game – did you see the comments speculating that the Antlers are going to be wearing “No Mom Tom” tshirts?

WTF? I know they’re classless assholes, but really?

by kuoirad on Feb 3, 2012 10:02 AM CST reply actions  

Again, can't see it happening.

But if it does they are only embarrassing themselves. Combine that with the fact that those “We Are Mizzou” guys are apparently performing on gameday and you’ve got the makings of a pretty embarrassing Saturday for Missouri.

didn't see it?

old tweet or something? I guess if they want to provide a potential POY the motivation then go for it, but it’s about as classless as it gets.

It's the 2nd and 3rd tweet on that page

I’m referring to the We Are Mizzou guys.

by KSinDC on Feb 3, 2012 10:51 AM CST up reply actions  

I wasn't actually worried about you

It’s all the people on RMN who say we’re recklessly spreading rumors about No Mom Tom shirts. Didn’t want to give them any more material for their delusions.

by KSinDC on Feb 3, 2012 11:15 AM CST up reply actions  

ha are they really saying that

I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter

Oh yes
RCT commentors
are repeating the awful t-shirt myth.
by MU’97 on Feb 3, 2012 11:16 AM EST reply actions
I have only seen this as a rumor on TB
And every Missouri fan I have seen online or in person has blasted the very idea. So of course KU fans assume its true — and repeat it ad nauseum.

I think the only time we've really repeated it...

we’ve all qualified it as a rumor that we really didn’t believe.

This is exactly true

And apparently immaterial to them

by KSinDC on Feb 3, 2012 11:48 AM CST up reply actions  

This comment thread can be read two different ways

1) “No, that’s not going to happen.”

vs.

2) “Really, because OMG they would look like idiots and Robinson would go off!”

So, the truth is in the middle, like usual.

Haha...

Check your link now. He just updated it to say that the Missouri student body president said they are NOT performing. Apparently the more intelligent heads prevailed.

by hiphopopotamus on Feb 3, 2012 11:11 AM CST up reply actions  

That is disappointing

The most we can do tomorrow is embarass them during the game. I was really hoping they’d also embarass themselves during Gameday so that the day would be a complete waste.

by KSinDC on Feb 3, 2012 11:17 AM CST up reply actions  

first time for everything over there

by fetch9 on Feb 3, 2012 11:21 AM CST up reply actions  

I'm sorry...

…but that would just be awesomesauce. Another thing to point to and remind the SEC “no backsies!”

Though that is even stronger when it comes to aggy. I can’t wait until SEC fan finally experiences the full aggy effect… ;)

…that was a weird and really USA-centric list. Lots of stadiums on there I never would have considered.

by kuoirad on Feb 3, 2012 11:37 AM CST up reply actions  

yeah

Mariucci Arena is the one that stood out most to me. Granted I’m biased but that place is a bit of a dump and doesn’t really have the history to make up for it.

please don't tell me you're a gopher hockey fan

I write everywhere. You're probably better off following me on twitter

by fetch9 on Feb 3, 2012 11:42 AM CST up reply actions  

Started college at the U...

…still cheer for the Gophers unless they’re playing KU.

Mine is a fascinating (college) sports fandom hierarchy…

KU > Minnesota > Marquette > Wisconsin >>>>> aggy > KSUck >>>>>> Misery.

Though any game involving two of the three bottom teams is a nuclear bomb/ground opens up and swallows both teams game for me.

I grew up in Milwaukee, parents are MU (the real MU) alums. Did two years at Minnesota, wasn’t doing well, family had moved to OP. Followed down, did a year at JCCC to get my grades up, transferred to KU and got my degree.

TBH, I guess I should put UND in there somewhere, but I guess I only care about them when they’re playing Minnesota in hockey.

Triple banned now? ;)

rec'd simply for being a hockey fan

The name of that song played at KC Comets games in the '80's was Giorgio Moroder's "The Chase." Now you know.
