Thanks Minnesota!!

You can’t beat the weather in Hawaii. Poipu is my favorite. Jan-March humpback whales and 80 degrees. I’m sitting on the beach in Maui as I make this post. Been here two weeks and the weather and beach have been awesome. T shirt shorts and flip flops is all you need. Sunscreen!!

Winning trumps everything. Parking is fine for small crowds but large crowds is a problem. Bring back the blackout rules for home games. If a certain number of seats aren’t sold the game is blacked out locally. It’s become to easy to sit on the coach and watch the game instead of fighting all the elements plus easy to hit the off button when we…[Read more]

Knell was more worried about mocking the crowd than making his free throws. Hall was irritated because he couldn’t get the slivers out of his butt from sitting on the bench and watching the freshman take over his position.

I agree Holladay. They were being overly aggressive when our bigs had the ball. They were happy with a steal or a foul so to complain after the game is bush league. Always the hypocrites when it comes to the refs. After 1 good year in FB and NIL money to buy a good BB team their fans are back to being whiny a-holes again. It was nice not hearing…[Read more]

KY will not be able to keep everyone happy when they’re losing. There will be some disgruntled players wanting more playing time. One and done mentality only works if that player is a superstar. Playing a freshman who makes way more money than the junior and senior players who have been with the program for more than two years can cause locker r…[Read more]

They complain about the fouls against them when they were trying to foul Lovering and Asur. 4-12 in overtime I wish they wouldn’t have called any fouls. The fouls benefited them yet they blame the loss on the refs.

Great win. Smith coached a good game and we matched up athletically with the cougars. Might be the only other team in the Big 12 we match up with. Our bigs played physical and caused them problems. Hopefully this win will shut them up for a day or two. Haha

Your most athletic players give you the best chance to win. Play them and let them develop. If they make mistakes sit for a few minutes then put them back in.

I agree utesbyfive. I think after the last two years of dismal offense Whitt let Scalley get involved with the new offense. Scalley has talked before of wanting a spread offense. Nothing is a guarantee but a step in the right direction.

Whitt has earned the right to turn the ship around. I hope he is successful!!

I thought Whitt would retire regardless of record. Something has changed in his thinking to make him stay. He must think he has enough talent to turn things around and not start a rebuild. First time in years he comes in as an underdog which he seems to thrive on.

Take the most athletic players and let them play. Height doesn’t matter if you can’t guard the other players or get a rebound. Recruit athletes and develop them.

Recruit some athletes and develop them. Height means nothing if you’re not athletic. Big 12 is athletic and physical. Hard to score against those teams. Our ski team isn’t going to cut it.

2024 was a disaster. Picked to finish first and Whitt wanted to retire a winner. It seemed to motivate Sitake more after a losing season. We will soon find out.

The coaching staff (Whitt in particular) will be highly motivated. Hopefully that will transfer to the remaining players from last year that want redemption. A new simpler offense will help the new recruits and transfers. We go from front runners to underdogs.

ASU win would have been a good argument for 2 Big 12 teams next year. Now back to square one.

The Big12 top teams are middle of the pack SEC. Until the money and exposure gets on a level playing field nothing will change. Too much discrepancy in talent and depth. $$$ = talent. Imagine the NFL without caps and rules. Owner with the deepest pockets would win.
