By the time I was ready to really focus on KU, Doke was injured, Grimes was a bust, Vick was gone, De Sousa wasn't gonna play, and our best player (Dedric) couldn't jump over a sheet of paper. Just a weird year altogether. Not a really "exciting" team. Much, much more excited about this one. |

Any team where Vick was being asked to play that significant of a role wasn’t going to be that good of a team.

I’m reading fans think this Wilson committing is a big deal. The Athletic article doesn’t even have him starting. 6th men off the bench are helpful but don’t decide who wins the national title.

Score one for us college basketball guys. Play a year at a D2 powerhouse, get embarrassed by an NBA top-10 pick that forces you to transfer and play golf. Boom, US Open winner. I blame Marcus and Markieef Morris for not being top-10 picks and that’s why I can’t win the US Open. Nothing to do with my inconsistent wedge game and left to right drive. Not that at all. How about Woodland though? Riggs had a bunch of blogs on Woodland from yesterday, check them out for sure. The dude was stones on Sunday after struggling a bit in the first third of the round. That putt on 18 was awesome. The chip from the green on 17 was insane. Think you have to credit college basketball for that. Actually he may need to call up Dana Altman and thank him for not offering him at Creighton. This story from a few months ago talks about how Woodland was looking to transfer and someone called Altman to see if he was interested. Said Woodland could shoot but had no chance of defending anyone. Cox tried to help Woodland. He reached out to some of his college contacts, including Dana Altman, then at Creighton, and pitched the 6-foot-1 Woodland as a guard who could “shoot the lights out.” Cox said the response was standard: “Who can he guard? How’s he going to be on defense?” But Cox didn’t have a good answer. If Woodland was coming out of high school today, Cox believes, with the premium that colleges put on shooters, Woodland would have received more and better offers. Based on that putt on 18 it sounds about right that Woodland had unlimited range as a shooter too. @jaybusbee Gary Woodland on how he switched from basketball to golf: "That decision got forced on me. I had to guard Kirk Hinrich, and I realized, I'm going to have to do something else." |

I was a 7th grader and Kirk was a sophomore I stole the ball from him in a pick up game at the Hyper Center in Sioux City. Thats all I got. He destroyed us though. He probably had smoked a bowl before. Just effortless basketball. One kid on my team ended up playing at Northern Iowa too. We had no chance.

I quit playing when I started high school to focus on football and baseball.
I did have some friends that thought they were going D-1...until they played against Travis Releford when he was at Miege. |
