“I don’t know that (Jacob Pullen) kid well but he’s got 38 playing on national TV against a team that doesn’t deserve it but is ranked number one in the country and their arch rivals – and he defers not to shoot the ball to get 40. Class! That kid had it going on tonight. … When everybody else on our team would have gone and hunted their shot.”Bill Self, in his postgame interview after the loss at K-State, Jayhawk Radio Network
GH: I was stunned by how Bill Self tossed every player on his team under the wheels of the Jayhawk bus that left Manhattan. I don’t know why Self would choose to paint his team as a bunch of selfish individuals who care more about their stats than their team – but that is what he did. Did the KSU loss really transform KU from a team spouting their new “Family Over Everything” slogan to a bunch of me-first jerks? I sure don’t think so but the better question is why does Coach Self?
“I love Self…but they’ve got some turds on that team. Maybe that’s one of the things that’s not allowing them to get past that invisible ceiling the past couple of years. You look at Tyshawn’s issue with the football team, Mario’s issues off the court, the (Morris) twins and their thuggery on the floor, the (Elijah) Johnson dunk and the stupidest T of all time. They’ve got some guys who have to get in line in terms of their character because when you get in the tough battles in March, that does play a part.”
Doug Gottlieb, ESPN college basketball analyst, in an interview with Soren Petro, 810 AM
GH: So we’re back to the Bill Clinton question; does character matter? Gottlieb dismisses Kansas recent good play to playing “a lot of bad teams in the Big 12.” Is Bill Self a lot more unhappy with his 24-2 Jayhawks than it appears? Just when we thought KU was peaking, a blowout loss to rival K-State appears to have opened a lot of old wounds.

“I’m gonna say yeah, I do (think they’ll be back). Depending on who advises Josh Selby and the Morris twins, I think they’re all back (for next season at Kansas).”
Greg Gurley, when asked by Petro if he thinks Josh Selby and the Morris twins will return next season, 810 AM
GH: Gurley added that this could change if Kansas wins the NCAA title this April. This will be interesting to watch. Except for his first two weeks, Selby has shown little of what was expected of the best player Bill Self recruited to Kansas – but that matters little to the NBA. The Morris twins’ propensity for physical play may make them even more attractive to NBA scouts. All three are projected to go in the first round by multiple NBA draft websites.

I don’t have a problem with Petro ripping Mike Anderson and his recruiting/coaching decisions.

The crux of the story has to do with whether or not Wright’s show can do what no one else has — topple WHB’s popular Kevin Kietzman. Looks like Nick is getting a few shots in at KK this week to promote his upcoming pub.

Words should stand on their own
Yeah I agree, real names are not needed…… the words should stand on their own….
Post a comment…. toss out an opinion and move along. There is no need to flame war and insult. I have to come to like reading the comments sections of news stories almost better than the story. There is sometimes mor e truth in the comments, but there is also a lot of trolls and trouble makers and BS…. oh well, it what it is…and I like it
One just has to seperate the good from the bad, and quite often I read things from anons and then do further searches, and it leads to good info.
Did KK just give….
MU the kiss of death with his “I would make Missouri the favorite over Kansas” comment?
Frank is right
Sorry, but if you aren’t man enough to name your source, then you have to take the heat. Especially in the internet/twitter era where everyone makes stuff up and is trying harder than ever to get the scoop. I saw from numerous sources online and on Twitter pronounce Morgan Freeman dead a few weeks back. And don’t compare random college sports blogger/losers with Woodward and Bernstein.
Funny how GH will pile on KK for ‘anonymous sources’ citing MU to the Big 10, but it’s cool in GH’s eyes for other journalists to make sh-t up.
Oh, and about the J-School in Manhattan…I’m a grad of that school and wrote for the school paper for the year. Rule of thumb was unless you have two, independent sources verify something, it doesn’t get printed. So what Frank said would have played just fine there.

Vancouver is a real city, with real owners
Of course the team will move to a real city like Vancouver.
Face the facts that Kansas City is a small town with small town ideals and cheap ass sports ownership. Just look at the cheap ass fucking faggots that own the Chiefs and Royal, those mother fuckers have no desire to spend the money required to win a championship, they only spend enough to continue to fleece the hay seeds that live in KC.
Glass and Hunt are cheap ass pieces of shit, they should be called out by the other teamowners *Steinbrennr, Jerry Jones etc) for adversly affecting thier enotre leagure by being such cheap ass pieces of shit…and YEAH. It pisses me off

Please do something about this mutliple posting crap.
Gottlieb is outspoken. That’s why he gets the attention. Don’t take it so personally. He’s pretty much looked upon as a boob. Doing commentary from the directors truck during the Mizzou game last night was irritating. Just show us the damn game!
Petro too. Boob. Loves to hear himself talk. Talks more than his guests are allowed to. Asks questions that are ten minutes long. Annoying. Stump the Chumps is the worst radio in the city. Worse radio than Fescoe and that’s saying something.
Was Posnanski saying Bill Self and Colin Firth look alike … or is it the stammer?
Martin is an taller, more Cuban Huggins.
He is on Rome Thursday. They love this guy. They can go deep again in March. Make no mistake…. Martin is an taller, more Cuban Huggins.

The amount teams pay for their squads is ranked and listed for public viewing online. LLOK IT UP….. You can sss where fkn hunt and glass pay waaaaaaaaayyy (60- 150MILLION DOLLARS L ESS THAN REAL TEAMS) less than the competeion.
Why do hunt and glass even own teams? It is BS.
Cheap ass fucks like them owning pro teams hurts the league they play in and they should be told so by NON CHEAP owned. Jerry Jones should corner that fkn pussy hunt and read him the riot act for spending 60 million LESS tna Joners does. The Steinbrenner family shopuld take glass to the wood shed and berate him for being so cheep,spennding 150 million less than the Yanks……
I do not wanna hear about economics of small town teams. Look at the Twins, they are in a small market ,YET THEY KEEP GREAT PLAYERS LIKE JOE MAUER, while pussy ass faggots like glass allows a player like Zac Greinke to leave.. FK THE ROYALS!!!
I am so pissed off I cant see straight. I have rooted for and watched my Royals for my entire life (excpet whne I boyoctted for 5 years due to them striking back in the 90s) , but now?? FUCK THE ROYALS!!! I AM SICK OF LOSING GREAT PLAYERS, THE ROYALS ARE THE FARM TEAM TO THE REST OF THE LEAGUE….. MAKING THE ROYALS LOSERS!!! FK glass AND FUCK THE ROYALS, THEY ARE THE LOSERS … BUT NOT ME ANYMORE…. I LOVE deBaseball…… so this year I AM ROOTING FOR THE DODGERS!!! FUCK YOU GLASS, YOU CHEAP ASS PIECE OF SHIT…
PS
and I will tell you another thing, if these millnionaire billionaire NFL muthafuckers do not play next year, I will boycott the NFL until 2117……you wanna fk with me????? …fuck me????? NO….FUCK YOU!!!….
