While the caption for this picture of KU coach Bill Self suggests he's checking the scoreboard I prefer to think he's seeking guidance from somewhere above! We play K-State today (I think they are a small Ag-school somewhere to the west of here)!

I think he needs to continue to seek guidance; so far it's working but that last game was a squeaker!

Gregg - If he's a golddigger he's in a tradition of them; after Larry and Roy! I tend to think that he's gone to a better place now!

You are:
1) correct
2) delusional
3) correct
4) correct
3 out of 4 ain't bad

because what the heck is an Illini anyway?
To quote myself; I think I slipped the addition in without knowing that Gregg had responded! I reminded myself that Illini was a plural of Illinois and that they no longer had a mascot due to the retirement of Chief Illiniwek. I think Bill Self was informed about the loss of mascot and left for a team that still had one!
My son and I think Illinois should adopt the smiley face as their mascot; Walmart stole it from the original inventor so they could probably buy it pretty cheap from him!

Not true. Illini is the name of an American Indian tribe that lived in the area.

If Mr. Selfish knew that, he was the only one. I'd rather be a proud Chief than a dorky cross-bred bird.

I bet there'd be a law suit. Can you wear one of those?

I thought I'd get a rise out of you! I was mostly being ironical but I think someone ought to use the smiley face as a mascot is see where it goes! 
One factoid that is little acknowledged by KU people is that one of the early usages of the word "Jayhawk" was a reference to people who would steal firewood from homesteads; "to jayhawk" was the act. I got this from a diary of an Englishman who settled in Kansas in the 1840's! I don't trumpet this around Lawrence obviously!

2 wrongs don't make a right
You could move someplace with a first-rate university, like, maybe Columbia, Missouri.

But Gregg; MU would be a third wrong!

I selected a bunch of first round upsets or "upsets" but very few of them happened. Of course, there were one or two upsets that I didn't pick. At least there's no money riding on my picks. But all of "my" Final Four" teams are still in there; two from the Big East.
Oh, Roy... I picked the Buckeyes to be the last team winning.

Yep! You're right as always...
I would tend to agree with that statement, though from what others tell me, you must have me confued with some other "Mark".
Thanks for the welcome after throwing down what must be considered harsh words but still a reality even with Dukes early dismissal. At least it was a 'game'

Good to "see" you.
How come you aren't rooting for the DUCKS?
They won today, BTW.
Say "HI!" to Mary for me.
Hope you're coming out here this summer!
Crabs await.
