o Schedules: KU | Texas A&M
o Rosters: KU | Texas A&M
o Stats: KU | Texas A&M
o Series: KU leads 14-1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not a day early or 2 days , so somebody has something to bitch about.

Another turnaround Big Monday vs a quality opponent on the road.

Sorry Turg, we need this one to have a chance at running the table. Should be a tough game on the road, but with aTm you never know. At times they look good and other times weak. They are a strange team to figure out for some reason.

Speak up boys. Beak em Hawks !

Time to Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU

I do remember that in Bill Self's book, he claims that Vitale told him not to leave Illinois to take the KU job after Roy.

I think that this is true, Heck even Coach Self takes pop shots at Vitale on his shows....

Dookie kept saying it is a travisty that UNC/Hansblow cant play for the NC, its not fair to the kids.. Blah Blah Blah....

My guess he was still pissed that Aldrich handed Hanslow his ass on a National Stage.

didn't he also say, right after the loss, that he still believed UNC was the best team in the country.

of course.....they're from the ACC. They should change that league to the DVC... Dick Vitale Conference.

You run an offense suited to the personnel.

JFC, Laz, just STOP!

This.

It's actually less deserved than CoMo's thing for Kaun, and that was absolutely pathetic... might have to put a fellow Jayhawk on iggy for the first time.

I'm kinda like sedated in the fact that I was too busy celebrating and don't remember too much of DV's comments after that. My question is are you taking these comments out of context? Would he have said the same thing about Kansas had the Tarheels won? You know, did he go on to talk glowingly of the Jayhawks after consoling the UNC fans?

I don't remember DV calling that game. I was in shock at the ass-whipping KU was laying on UNC... IIRC it was 42-19 at one point.

I do remember him talking about feeling bad for UNC's players... I do not recall him saying they were more deserving to play for the NC.

Of course I kinda block out DV anyway; the guy is 100% hyperbole. His schtick gets old fast.

Kaun wasn't very good. He played well about a handful of games while at Kansas, but wasn't really a force the way Aldrich is. Though he wasn't a focal point by any means since there was so much talent on those teams. He was just a small role player more than anything. Though he shined during the Davidson game. That was crucial in winning the NC. But for as big as Kaun was, he wasn't that great of a rebounder/shot blocker, plus he had horrible footwork.

One thing my wife and kids and I bring up once in awhile for a good laugh is the press conference with the Jayhawk players after that game. A reporter in the back of the room asked a question and 3 KU players immediately turned toward the reporter. Meanwhile, after an additional second or two, Cole Aldrich turned, very slow and methodically, toward the reporter. It was one of the strangest and funniest damn things I have ever seen from a post game press conference.

I think I was probably somewhat drunk by the second half.

And I believe the score was 40-12.

BTW, if anyone can find this, it would be well worth it.

If you're going to compare him to one of the best bigs KU has ever had, then no, Kaun isn't going to come out very good. But he was a very quality role player, and he currently makes millions starting for the best professional basketball team in Russia.
