Call me nostalgic but after the last year plus I have wondered about so many who haven't posted lately. Have they found other boards? Are the primarily a reader like me? Did Covid find them? It's the end of the season and it would be nice to know who is here.

It'll feel better when it stops hurting

“Thank you, Captain Obvious!”

Seriously, thanks for asking, sasnak.

Lurking Here, multiple times a day. Just not posting.

Team seems well-behaved, so I’m not hollering to be a housemother.

No Covid. Both vaccinations secured.

All is well, just quiet. Thanks for asking, My Sister.

Here, posting and vaccinated. Wife gets her second shot next Monday. Enjoying some nice weather in Lawrence after the big freeze. Last night's game was so frustrating but probably predictable. Good finish by KU.

Hey Sas, my hometown sis. I'm here. I post sporadically. I have been feverishly programming over the last several months and thus probably don't post as much as I used to although it seems like I post a fair amount. Of course I do my RCC blog before and after every game as well. I am super duper excited to having obtained all the NCAA Div 1 data back to 1950. Someday I will get all this massive output organized a little better so more people who like that sort of thing can enjoy it.

Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!

Still here! Occasionally posting, but mostly lurking. Been a weird season.

Happy that we can still at least claim "as many Big 12 Championships as home losses under Self." Wasn't looking like this stat was going to survive this season for a while (including 30 minutes last night).

Hoping things get back to normal by next year and we can put 16,300 screaming fans back where they belong every game.

Still here after decades of lurking. Post as often as I can, sometimes raising some tough issues seeing if I can ignite some of you to respond. Hopefully I've done it respectfully, and I never do it just to make noise. I give my opinions as I really feel, and look forward to everyone's responses.


Rock Chalk !

Still here almost every day year-round after what seems like 20+ years...old and health not great but had first shot and hanging on...appreciate all the expert analyses, commentaries, projections, recruiting, and reminiscences...chipping in occasionally throughout the year whenever I find an interesting tidbit about the team...it all adds to the KU history and season's holistic bottom line for me...I too miss many of the great contributors of yesteryear...Thanks again for all you All do that adds so much to our enjoyment of each edition of KU basketball! Rock Chalk!

Present and (somewhat) accounted for!!

Both vaccines but I did get the Covid-19 -- not the virus, but the damn 19 pounds that comes from sitting on my lard butt this past year . . . . . :P

Good to see so many but hope the others are ok. It is windier than all get out in Southern AZ today and it's akin to a sand blaster outside. I have my first shot and will get the second at the end of the month.I have literally hunkered down and stayed home after I retired in Sept. Social distancing is my super power so it's not like it's a problem. Stay well folks, we are seeing light at the end of the tunnel

The LKF clan is very much alive and kicking. Baby LKF is growing up properly and will be 3 in April. She has a child’s love of our wonderful Jayhawks and this year she has often said “Daddy that’s okay, they’ll win next time”. She also loves her Mahomes 15 jersey which she would not stop wearing for 10 days pre/post SuperBowl.

My better half and I are scheduled to receive our first doses at the end of March. Mr. LKF (my father) got both doses in Jan/Feb and we are planning to go see him in April in KC.

Here today, but haven’t had much spare time this year to come on and post. I’ve managed to watch all but one game, usually while texting live with my erstwhile compadre, HawkErrant.

Been a very weird year. Lost my beloved Mom back in Basehor, KS, in August. Had traveled back there often to see her and help her out, but this time the cancer ran away and got into her hip and bones. It was a quick downhill from there. She was my rock, and truly my primary remaining reason for making the long trek back to KS (and hometown of KC) from VA. Don’t get me wrong, Lawrence and KU will still pull me back from time to time...but the annual or twice-annual visits are a thing of the past.

I’ve enjoyed watching the team bounce back and play for the pride of the Jersey these past few weeks. Next year we look to be very deep and experienced. Would sure love for Marcus to come back due to his D. Hoping we make some noise in KC, then win at least 2 games in the Dance. Beyond that, it’s house money this year.

Still stinging from COVID stealing what looked like a championship run last year. :-(

I hope to post more in the future, though running a dynamic business takes up much of my time. That and raising the kids - one off to college now (Berklee College of Music in Boston), the other 16 and heading into his senior year in the fall. The latter is a MASSIVE Hawks fan, and we always bond over that and the red and gold of Arrowhead.

Wishing all of you good health and happiness. Go Hawks! Rock Chalk...
