Here's a vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cTPso49LlE I'm not really a Weber fan, but he had to do that. It would be way worse to let that player walk all over him and leave the huddle.

I saw Burr and Rick Hartzell and knew the game was going to be an officiating disaster.

when your head is more wrinkled than your balls, you've got a problem.

I used bitterness tags for a reason. If the officiating makes a difference, it means we lose by 23 instead of 15 or whatever. However, you can't really dispute the numbers. It's even more frustrating because Kansas is very, very good. That means officiating inequities are even more irritating because they don't need it. But whatever, you killed us again, so have your fun. LOL, Gabe DeArmond. Mike DeArmond's slightly less drunk, equally homeriffic son. Again, I think there are several reasons we "get calls." I'll divide them into core reasons and ancillary reasons. CORE REASONS Our players are bigger than almost every other team's. Our players are faster. Our players are better defenders. Our bench ensures our players can be fresher. Our players are generally more talented. (Texas being the possible lone Big 12 exception, but that's negated by Rick Barnes' presence on the sidelines.) We run our offense through the post, where most teams can't match up and therefore foul. We're usually winning, so teams might be fouling to try to extend the game. ANCILLARY REASONS We don't do lame sh_t like have people dressed up like Ku Klux Pterodactyls in our student section. We don't run a gimmicky, full court press, slappy-fest defense. We wear colors that don't burn the eyes, so refs can watch the game more closely and make the right calls. None of our players have JT Tiller's head: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/snoodmonger1/20091117_MUBBall_TillerInjury_t_w60.jpg Our intro video wasn't produced by the same people who did the Eagle Insurance commercials. (Please watch the :30 second mark) And we're a brand name in college basketball and probably get an extra call here and there.

Because every time we brought it to the paint we were hacked and no foul was called and Aldrich doesn't play by the same rules as the rest of the league. You better be glad the 3 wasn't falling because we were wide open. Offense played well outside of missing the 3. Have you seen the margin of loss for Mizzou this year? The only two games that Mizzou was blown out were against kU. Mizzou is a lot better school than their record shows and kU would have had a lot more trouble on the road this year against the Big XII if they had to deal with the same homer treatment that everybody else does in the league. Big XII refs are some of the worst homer refs, but not against kU. In lieu of rebutting your homerific whining, I present you a pic of Cole Aldrich's nuts on some 4 foot 3, DIII post player's head. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/snoodmonger1/ku_bkc_mu_11_t640.jpg Oh, this was the play where he hung on the rim and should have gotten a technical, but guess what, wasn't called. You can hang on the rim if there are people under you, preventing you from landing safely. Likely you didn't know that because your undersized front line is unable to dunk in traffic.

I'm not saying it's racist to wear a pterodactyl suit. I'm saying you might want to consider wearing a pterodactyl suit that looks less like a klansman. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v604/snoodmonger1/72239673.jpg And man, Mizzou fans whine more than anybody I know about getting hammered by team that's about 50 times better than theirs. You can sit there and pretend the game gets called differently for KU, or you can acknowledge that you shot 13% from three, 35% overall, and have a bunch of glorified rec center bigs who can't compete with a legit college front line. We shot 52% from the field. 50% from 3pt. We had a zillion points in the paint. We're better than you. By a lot. So you're going to have to play a lot better than that to beat us.

I haven't heard anything suggesting Mitchell won't qualify. I've heard Anderson is still recruiting another big, but I think Stone or Underwood transferring or Green going to prep school(he shredded his knee a month or two ago) is a more likely reason. Mizzou needs to shoot better than 10% from 3 if they're going to beat Kansas. That's all there is to it. On a more bitter note, Kansas remains the only team in the Big 12 to out-FT their opponents on the road. Other teams lose about 10 net free throws going from road to home, Kansas gains a couple. Considering our offense consists of throw it down to our bigs, who are usually bigger and stronger than everybody else's, is it surprising we shoot more free throws? Hey, why was there a fan dressed in a black KKK outfit in your student section? The cotton ball incident wasn't racist enough? Kansas is 5th in the conference in FTA/FGA. There's a difference between shooting more free throws, and being the only team in the conference to shoot more than their opponents on the road. K-State shoots more FTs than anyone in the country and they still get outshot on the road. /bitterness That guy was a pterodactyl, he actually wore that to last year's Kansas game too. You're right. The fix is probably in. We're really the 4th best team in the conference. And I don't care if it was a pterodactly, you probably don't want to have a costume that resembles a black KKK suit.

Missouri really needs some bigs. I know Safford is hurt, but even with him, their frontline is really questionable. Any word if that 5* big they landed will qualify?

I think Henry or Aldrich will be better. Henry has more star potential. I doubt Aldrich will be great, but I think he'll play in the NBA for a long time because of his D and rebounding. I love Marcus, but I think his size and athleticism will hurt him in the NBA. Aldrich, imo, is gonna flop and hard. No offensive moves and not very atheletic. Plus I think he will be in foul trouble a lot. I think it's possible. But if Greg Ostertag can have a long career, so can Cole. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. Ostertag wasn't a lotto pick though. I think Alrdich probably will be. I do think Cole will make a good living, just never be lottery pick good. I think I agree there. I just don't know how high his ceiling is. He needs a quicker offensive move. He holds the ball/maneuvers way too long when he gets it. Also, what a BS charge call.

That should go over well with small town Kansans.

I just don't think UConn should get in. They'll probably be better than the last four in, but they're gonna be 2 games under .500 in conference, they'll probably have 14 losses (assuming they don't win the Big East Tourney), and they'll have lost twice to CINN, twice to LOU, once to freaking Providence, and to a short handed ND. They're also 2-7 on the road.

Luke Recker's about to get all up in some people's faces.

He meant in the Big 10.

haha, fuggin' Acie Law. Tonight's gonna be tough. If we can beat KSU, we should break the KU record for home winning streak early next year.

How is this not on TV? On a side note, I heard a KU fan refer to your Octogon of Doom stadium as the Octogon of Dumb. I'm sure you heard that before and don't find it funny, but I chuckled. I prefer Hawktagon of Doom since they've only beaten us in that arena once. Ever. The Phag is funny if you're a backwoods homophobe. Should be a good game, though. I hope we're ready to play. Senior night. Sherron's last game. Can sew up sole possession of the league championship. Final resume piece required for a one seed. And a win can put KSU in line for one, possibly. It's a huge game for both teams. In all the times I've been to Lawrence though, the Phag is very fitting. Did you just come out of the closet?

It's better than a Mizzou win to most MU fans. The best part is, MU could have had Self. They chose Quin instead.

Just wear yourselves out taking the frustration out on KSU. we could theoretically lose our three straight. KSU and @ MU are hardly gimmes.

ugly, ugly game. hopefully losing in stillwater will have the same effect on this team that it did on the 08 team.

we're getting pantsed by Okie State. I don't think Self has ever won at Stillwater.
