Hey hey cornerbaby, how's it going this year? Good ? Good. Hope we get to play again sometime in, say late March or April. But enough of deflecting commentary.
I just wanted to keep this thread on point with the very late game calls in the Kansas - TCU game. You cannot seriously watch that and smile, knowing how well KU comes out in the end. And you cannot seriously look at ANY of that late game action and say :
1) The flagrant foul was absolutely a stretch, to say the least. If you can't admit to at least that, then you have more tint on those sunglasses than I thought. It absolutely changed that game.
2 ) Hdick's shove with both hands as well as 4 step shuffle was vintage homecooking. Surely you realize one of the reasons Kansas gets tripped up come NCAA tournament time is that in those neutral floor contests, those calls evaporate. You don't get the benefit of a shove and travel to get to the next stage. You don't get that flagrant call at all.
Just keeping this one on point.
As to watching our own box scores, sure, I've been looking at them for nearly 50 years, and as long as the good lord allows me continue battling cancer, and allowing me to continue to come out here with some friendly banter back and forth about a sport we all love, yes. I sure hope I can continue to do it for as long as possible.
But in those nearly 50 years, there is nowhere I have ever seen a home whistle be more favorable than at Allen Fieldhouse. In fact, anywhere else isn't even on the radar. Maybe Miserable gymnasium (Vandy) but hey, that's VANDY. lol. And miserable gymnasium is so far under that radar, it cannot even be considered in the same breath as Allen fieldhouse. It's just that I've seen some pretty incredible **** for ANYONE that has ever played inside "The Phog" or the glorified operahouse that is Miserable Gym.
If I were a Kansas fan, I'd accept the label, own it, rub it in people's faces. REALLY work it. And if it weren't true, then it would stay that way.
Right ?
