KU now plays Nebraska in the Big 12 tournament championship today.
“It’s exciting,'’ said KU center fielder Matt Baty, who was at the heart of the game-winning rally in the eighth inning. “I’ve been here four years, and it’s a dream come true. And we got exactly who we want. We wanted to face one of the best teams in the conference, and we got Nebraska.
From ESPN:
Former Oklahoma basketball coach Kelvin Sampson cannot recruit off-campus for Indiana or make phone calls for one year, ending May 24, 2007.
The NCAA announced Thursday its decision in the case that involved improper phone calls to recruits when Sampson was still coaching at Oklahoma.
I really shouldn’t be posting this, but the moustachioed pervert contained within this video is wearing an Ohio State shirt. And his dad does go WWE when approached.
I would advise a little parental discretion when watching this video of a news report. It is work safe, but the topic is well, I’ll just let you watch it.
Looks like the Las Vegas Invitational games are set. Also interesting to note is that KU will be selling tickets to the Vegas game via the Williams Fund. The convention center - where the event will be held - only seats 6,000. Methinks that the KU-Florida tickets will demand a pretty penny.
The two Las Vegas Invitational games in Lawrence will be part of KU’s season-ticket package. Ticket information on the games in Las Vegas will be mailed to Williams Fund members in the next couple weeks.
“The tickets will be sold through the schools - ours through the Williams Fund,” KU senior associate athletic director Larry Keating said, referring to the eight schools that will congregate in Vegas - KU, Towson, Tennessee State, Ball State, Florida, Western Kentucky, Tennessee-Chattanooga and Prairie View.
You have represented the program well. Whatever you may do in the future, you will always be Jayhawks.
Thanks and good luck.
Nothing like staring at a fax machine waiting for it to start singing its dulcet screamsong.
“Nothing came over last night,” Hill said, referring to the fax machine that was expected to pump out Hannah’s signed letter of intent to K-State. That was what the Wildcats had hoped for on the last day of the spring signing period.
It became more evident Thursday that Hannah might not be a Wildcat after all - and no one at K-State appears to know why. But a new name surfaced that could take his place: Tyree Evans. And his story could prompt the Bob Huggins critics to surface, especially if Evans winds up at K-State.
Let’s not get started on Tyree Evans, who, despite Kevin Kietzman’s yammering apologetics, has been charged with Statutory Rape (along with three others) and indecent assault. Yes, he and three other guys and one girl. Statutory rape and indecent assault. Missed those merit badges while you were a Boy Scout?
So did I. But don’t be surprised if he’s wearing Purple and White.
And I don’t think it’s just a ploy to get Mizzou in. How would 80 teams work, you ask?
80 - 64 = 16 extra teams.
There are four brackets, so I would assume there would be 4 new teams per bracket, the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th seeds. I don’t think it would be at all fair to have these guys battle it out in two games each to make the actual tourney, so I’m guessing that they would do battle with the 16, 15, 14 and 13 seeds respectively for the honor of getting to play one of the top 4 seeds in what used to be the first round.
They might play all of the games at one location, effectively adding four new first round locations.
I’m all for more excitement, but this just seems a little paunchy to me.
Anybody else have any thoughts? Am I putting this thing together wrong?
