Snippets From The Kansas Hoops Board

This will probably be the most nerve racking game for me to watch. Sports have never affected me like the PTSD inflicted by our 1995 loss to Kansas, ever since I have had an irrational fear of playing them.

That KU squad back in 95 was loaded. Jacque Vaughn, Paul pierce, raef lafrentz, Jared hasse and I believe ostertag too? Wow
 
Just saw this on Jayhawks board. One Thing both teams share is dislike for Puke

At a neutral site I think they are favored by 6.5-8.5. At AFH I think they are favored by 3.5-4.5. It pisses me off to no end that a Hurley brother is actually a good coach. UCONN is the perfect spot for him as well

It was ostertag, yes and Scot Polard was a beast. They could have three guys at or around 2 meters, or 7 feet and 2 speedy guards. They absolutely ripped uconn apart that year, roasted toasted and burnt to a crisp. Won by about 30 but at times I think they had it up to 40. Only other time I remember a team really demolishing Uconn like that was MSU in the early 2000s and Lville in 2011. Just beaten to a pulp in 95, would love revenge as uconn is 0 and 3 all time vs Kansas. 1 and 5 vs unc too. Gotta get one of those!

I do plan on donning a Jayhawk hat with my UConn hoodie.

UConn Fan Guide: Section 3.5b (Attire)

This is acceptable for cold weather football cuz you can immediately sit on the hat for the whole game. Its warmer than butt on seat.

Wearing it indoors you can keep the hoodie on your head covering the hat/logo, that also is acceptable and will help mute some of the noise.

As for wearing and exhibiting both, unless your children are playing on both teams, this would constitute surrendering in battle.
 
The KU guys don't seem so bad TBH, here is a tongue-in-cheek snippet:

Agreed! I was in Stamford at Bobby V's for that game - place was packed. I remember we were like 15-0 and top 5. From about two mins into the game, I just knew it was over. Couldn't wait for the game to end. The longer it went on, the more points they were going to pile on.

GreenhallHawk would be a fellow law school grad like me. Probably not too far behind me.

@UCONNJACK, @mauconnfan 95 was painful for me. I had recently graduated from KU Law, lived in KC metro and was with KU people at Kemper. We were cocky and got clobbered. Friday I will be with one of the same people I went with in 95. Payback time I hope.
 
And I just heard the students are already lining up. This is going to be a big time atmosphere. No matter what happens as long as we compete it is a win/win for us. It is early in the season but this is imo the biggest college basketball game of the season. If it is a close game and comes down to a last possession and if both teams play well this game will be one of those we talk about for years. Two 7’2” giants going toe to toe with great supporting cast. For some reason I am thinking big game for AK.
 
Next year they will give us Purdue at home a year too late for the Clingan/Edey showdown

Some Duke fan commented they camp out in tents for 30 days before UNC game....
 
It's a little known fact that Columbus, OH is the exact mid-point between Storrs and Lawrence, about. They should play the game whereever they play basketball in Columbus and show the Big 10 what big-time basketball looks like.

Kidding. Of course we want to play in Allen Fieldhouse.

I was looking at this one, one fan said he was expecting to get blown out. I guess they are really down on their offense outside of dickenson

Read the freak out thread. Have to say, I like the humor of some of the posts. They seem like a good crew of fans- not super douchey like the Duke fan base

Is it really camping if you are inside? Kind of like shelter in place, cuz there’s a storm a comin…..

Not coincidentally, when I drove from Simsbury to Lawrence for law school I stopped just outside Columbus. Time wise, the trip from there to Lawrence is shorter.

That was a miserable game to be at…double header with UConn women playing first and winning and then boom, doors blown off!

As the crow flies, of course. That makes sense though and always seems to be the case, driving out of the Northeast, or back to the Northeast, always seems to be a slower go.

Yes good use of the hat @Kitaman. Also a nice emergency piece of material in case of a game time shart! ;)

Just spent 20 minutes talking college basketball with a KU fan at Logan Airport. He’s on my flight out. This game is going to be epic.
Expand ...
I don't know why but I think this could be close to Cuse/UConn 6OT levels of epic... well, ok, maybe not THAT close to that level as I don't think anything possibly could reach that level, but something around that stratosphere*. The winning team wins by about 4 I think.

*EDIT: Maybe something like the Auburn/UConn 2OT game.

2 meters = 6'6 3/4 2.15 = 7'ish

Haha there is no way we would be favored by 6-8 at a neutral site and I would be shocked if we are favored on Friday. It'll probably be KU -2.5 or so.
