Trajan Font > 90's Circus Font

WHY DO PEOPLE LOVE THE CIRCUS FONT SO MUCH

I guess my Nostalgia is from 2008 and not 1988.

Kiimo · 07-09-2021, 12:10 PM

My nostalgia goes back to around 85 but Circus Font sucks and is nothing more than a once a season throwback. Clown nonsense.

Also on twitter Self has the guys running sprints up Campanile and the suburban boomer dad side of my personality likes this. Sitting in the air conditioning on my couch watching Remember The Titans and feeling like I accomplished something. That kind of energy.

To his credit hes a much much much more willing scorer than Simmons. How many games did Simmons have 0 4th quarter points?

I guess having to play with one-dimensional players in Bruan and Agbaji and more of a plodding bigman in McCormack took it's toll.

I think the big thing is he’s not a creator. If we had one last year I think he could have effectively fed them and worked the offense around them. But they asked him to be it and that’s a tough sell for that particular guy.

Kcc beat me to it.

I'll miss him as well, but I won't miss the clanks.

If take the clanks over the getting stuffed in the lane. A lot of those led to transition points.

Curious if PB has heard this, but I spoke with a very credible source who told me that Kofi Cockburn’s people reached out to the staff the other day about a spot on the team. Obviously someone would have to go or they could figure out something with NIL $$$. Also possible this is a power move to get a better deal from UK.

Take it as a rumor. Just passing along what I was told.

I have not.

But damn do I love a juicy rumor.

(Btw Snacks was fired for the dick pic he posted tomsicsl media. That’s my source. KU was made aware of it and said “no mas”

I understand and agree sending dick pics to people under you in an organization or unsolicited should be punished. Beyond that...........Are dick pics now deal breakers? You cant play college BB anymore?

Garrett would honestly be a perfect player to add to this team right now given how far down the offensive chain he would be. Could be very similar to 2012 Releford with maybe even better lockdown defense. But he wants to get paid and start his pro career and I respect that.

Affirmative.

But I’m the biggest Releford homer here. I’d argue he was the better all around defender because if his size and length, but Garrett certainly guarded on the ball better. Releford just wouldn’t let a fool get the ball. I’m a total sucker for good defense.

we're in need of a different ku thread on the front page

Releford was a better defender and a better scorer.
