(Excepting Bedore and Newell, of course)

Now they're resorting to reprinting OTHER rival-town articles disparaging KU. Click-bait and Kevin Keitzman-style anti--KU coverage at its finest.

Without trying to wade into this cesspool, I should like to point out that the thesis of the authors article is that KU is getting away with bad behavior because Baylor is worse. Well speaking for myself, here in the Bay Area, where traffic is impossible, I speed and use the carpool lane solo as often as I can get away with. My efforts are aided by the strategy that I'm never the fastest nor the most obvious violator on the road. CHP, stretched thin and chasing real criminals, pass me by to go get the blatant scofflaw.

Does it make my behavior any better? No. But I thank every low-life looser on the road for no other reason than it takes the heat of me! ;)

Thank you Baylor Bears, for your lack of institutional control, "rape culture", and overall lack of integrity. Be sure to watch KU in the final four on CBS! :P

Funny you would mention KK...I was just thinking recently that he would be the biggest cheerleader of the "reporting" being pumped out by the Star. They've doubled-down on tabloid news...find a fact, or even something plausible and string it together with innuendo and speculation. Funny how Bedore and Newell have been spared so far from the splattering crap the paper is happy to be involved in. Guess readership must be pretty low.

To quote Jake Taylor from Major League... "Well, I guess there is only one thing to do...win the whole f'ing thing."

When my phone buzzed with the KU Hoops app (which I'll be deleting) and I saw the article, it became apparent that whoever is in charge of the Star's sports page obviously has an axe to grind with Kansas. So now they're dead to me, just like that no talent butt-clown Jack Harry (is he still breathing air and converting it into annoying noises?)

Without anything new negative to write about KU, the Star is now googling other negative articles about KU. That, my friends, is desperation that smells a lot like a sports editor with ties to a basketball program that left the Big 12 and hasn't been heard from since.

Agreed, NotO. Bedore & Newell are still great, but these new names going after KU can go you know where.

PS: in the article I posted, I literally only read 2 lines and then parachuted out. That was enough for me.
