“The Jayhawks had developed a reputation as college basketball’s bad boys by getting into a pregame shoving match with Richmond and trash-talking with the Spiders in the tunnel the day before their 20-point victory in the Sweet 16.”Jason King, columnist, YahooSports.com
GH: The Spiders and VCU both call Richmond home. Let’s assume the Spiders were the ones who informed VCU’s Jamie Skeen that the Morris twins were “buttholes on the court.” Read on.
“They’re NBA talent, as everybody already knows. I respect both of them. I came in the game thinking that they were not so cool on the court and I thought they were some buttholes on the court — that’s what everybody told me, at least — but when I got on the court I found out they were really cool.”
Jamie Skeen, who led VCU with 26 points and 10 boards against KU, in his postgame presser, CBSsports.com
GH: Skeen was the best player on the floor Sunday. He drilled three after three to help build VCU’s first-half lead to 18. Was his effort fueled by the twins’ verbal swagger? Hell yeah. Kansas likes to talk and it usually works like it did against Richmond. VCU acted like the trash talking was nectar for their jump shots.

“(The Morris twins) were like, ‘Y’all had a good little run, but now it’s time to go home.’ … The media must’ve gotten to them. They must’ve thought it was already theirs. They were pretty confident. Maybe too confident.”
Ed Nixon, VCU’s 6’4 forward, prior to the game, YahooSports.com
GH: KU’s early 6-0 lead may have given the Jayhawks a false sense of security – that this game was just Richmond II. But I find it hard to believe any team takes an Elite Eight opponent lightly – especially with Kansas’ history of upset losses in the tourney.

Seth Davis, CBS analyst, prior to Kansas’ game against VCU, CBS, Twitter
GH: The referees didn’t decide this game but Kansas’ propensity for trash talking may have given VCU the edge they needed to take on a giant like Kansas. How do Kansas fans feel about their team’s reputation evolving from choir boys to gangstas? I think they’re fine with it until they lose – as most fan bases outside of Oakland would be.

Fran Fraschilla, 810 AM
GH: I disagree. Self’s teams at Illinois were physical and intimidating. I think he’s been frustrated that his Kansas teams for the most part have been in his word, “soft.” He brought the MoBros in from Philly to add some street to KU’s cred. I don’t think it’s a bad thing but I do think it is a different thing for Kansas basketball. Jason Sutherland now plays for Kansas – and he has a twin.

“I thought Kansas played a panic game (Sunday), which is very unlike most of Bill’s teams. I felt like they were rattled. All the pressure was on Kansas’ back and they showed that pressure.”
Fran Fraschilla, 810 AM
GH: The early missed free throws were very telling of a team feeling pressure. And as it often is, it became contagious. Brady’s and Tyrel’s shots were coming up short – another sign of pressure when shots are of short-armed. It is not enough to talk trash, you have to also walk trash. KU tip-toed when they should have struck the Heisman pose.

Look no further than March Madness for the only reason there needs to be a tournament/playoff system in college football. Imagine the possibilities!
Another Self implosion
This is getting ridiculous. It’s not bad enough to lose, but to some directional school or some piddly Colonial School. But if it’s March, and Bill Self is behind the bench, it’s called typical. Everyone in the media defends Self, yet he was three pointer away from going down to Davidson in ’08. I pin this loss directly on him. If the NBA calls, maybe he should listen this time. KU underachieved in a major way.
Happy Tiger Christmas!!!! This shows how pathetic MU fans are, that their biggest joy is the loss of another team. No wonder the bouncing balls never go Missourah’s way. (See Tyus Edney, 5th Down, etc.) Simply pathetic!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All fan bases have a difficult time seeing the shortcomings of a team — especially when it is winning most of it’s games. kU won a lot of close games in which they did not look very good against mediocre competition. It finally caught up with them. Bottom line for me … I had a difficult time seeing national championship possibilities for a team having to rely on players like Tyrell Reed and Brady Morningstar.
Sorry JP. I’m a Mizzou fan and I enjoyed the hell out of the game. That’s kinda what this rivalry is all about, isn’t it? (Don’t tell me you weren’t rooting for Iowa in the Insight Bowl.)
where’s killer?
Hey killer, where are you? How does that crow taste, and you can wash it down with a slice of humble pie, you POS. Last year’s Northern Iowa is this year’s VCU? Whatsamatter killer? Ain’t so bad now are ya? And yes, I’m a “pathetic Mizzou fan”. Would rather be that than an “entitled KU fan” who isn’t entitled to squat. Choke, squawk gayhawk.
Insight Bowl?
KU grad here. I wasn’t rooting for Iowa in the Insight Bowl.
Why? Because the Insight Bowl is meaningless except for the two teams playing in it.
There were no KU “I hope Mizzou loses” watch parties. No bombardment of the Iowa bookstore looking for Hawkeye t-shirts.
That’s what the rivalry is about on your end, not ours.
And ed, nothing says “class” like gay jokes. Nice work.

Cliffy – It’s only fair that I address the part of your comment that I agree with. This is spot-on, and guard play was every KU fan’s biggest fear. We just didn’t think it would be a problem against VCU.
Hey Cliffy
Sorry to disappoint you, but I saw maybe 4-5 plays of the Missori-Iowa game, and my wife and I watched a movie. Missouri’s loss didn’t affect me one way or the other. I certainly didn’t rub it in, considering my team’s shortcomings. I try not to let sports affect me one way or the other, unless it’s my team. This was a pathetic loss, no 2 ways about it. But life will go on.
go to glazers column to see how i predicted this loss for ku
the sports experts were way off…i was right on.
I’ll take 35 wins, conference title, conference tourney title and an elite 8 run any time. MU and KSU fans would sell their souls for a season like this no matter how it ended.

“That’s what the rivalry is about on your end, not ours” These are my favorite types of quotes I see from beaker fan, like you are so far above the rivalry and its all on our end. (perhaps this kind of arrogance is why we get so much glee out of the seemingly anuual beaker tourney choking….no?)Ok I’ll play along…..I see the Muck Fizzou shirts, the Turner Gill quotes about how beating Mizzou is the top priority at KU, etc….so I am very confused as to how it is different on your end. But apparently since you are so far above this pathetic and classlessness that us sad and pathetic Missourians are guilty of, please enlighten me and help me ascertain what the rivalry is about on your end.
where’s killer?
Sorry, the gayhawk crack was directedly squarely at killer. Figured he’d enjoy it. And get it. Killer? Where are you?

take more pride in an opponents loss than their own wins. It’s just the way it is.

Harley…I didn’t see any calls for VCU over Hawks? I mean with KU down 2 at 14 minutes were you calling VCU?
Sure KU shoots 50% from the line and God knows what from the arc 2-21?….what killed them was the pressure? Go fucking figure?

Simply put, Mizzou matters…when we’re playing them. Yes, we absolutely want to beat you.
But otherwise, we don’t put all of our damn energy into hoping you’ll lose. That’s the difference. We’re more concerned about our own team, not what’s happening with yours. We’re sure as hell not going to crash one of your opponents’ bookstore’s servers trying to buy up gear after they beat you.
(I personally think the Muck Fizzou shirts are lame, but they’re worn by students and similar in theme to what Mizzou students wear. I don’t begrudge 19-year-olds the right to wear something tasteless.)
Forget about Painter
It ain’t going to happen. Why in the hell would he be interested in what is at best a lateral move, leaving his alma mater in the process? He’s working Purdue for more money, plain and simple. It makes no sense at all, but of course it’s all Dearmond is writing about.
right here muther fucker
I am right here you unworthy, worthless piece of shit.
It has become obvious that this web site is unworthy of my comments, but beings you asked……
I stand behind my team, and its 2011 run to the elite 8. It may seem like choking to losers, but a team has to be in that position to start with…….. that means making it beyond the first round……. There are 64 teams(or whatever) in this tourney and 63 go home heartbroken, 63 teams “choke”….. of course this concept is not something most “other” (coachless) teams around this area would understand.
When YOUR team loses in the first round it gives you time to forget how pathetic your team is……… yet you idiots still run your mouths AS IF YOU DID SOMETHING OTHER THAN LOSE IN THE FIRST ROUND…… LMAO….
THE MIGHTY KANSAS JAYHAWKS HAD A GREAT SEASON. WE WON OUR 7TH STRAIGHT BIG 12 TITLE. WE WON THE 2011 BIG 12 TORUNY (8/15 NOW) WE WENT TO THE ELITE 8 but we did not win against a hot shooting team.
I NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT REFS, (I leave that to you loser schools to do) I wont complian aboput refs today, or how some “odd” calls stopped the momentum….oh well…it is part of the game…you have to beat the refs too …we did not…… our loss was about making just 2 three point shots and missing too many free throws and usually easy baskets….. oh well…… Am I proud of my Kansas Jayhawks??, you bet your ass I am…… would I expect most reader or the authors of this website to understand that? nope… I understand how things work on this web site….. it makes me chuckle…. I guess you have to be from a winning sports school to “get it”
WHERE IS KILLER????
I AM RIGHT HERE MOTHEFUCKER!!! STANDING BEHIND MY WINNING (35-3 IN 2011) KANSAS JAYHAWKS, BEACAUSE WE ARE WINNERS, unlike “other” teams around here…..you know??like teams without a coach, teams that losty in the 1st round…THAT IS CHOKING…..UNABLE TO WIN THE FRIST ROUND,,,,BUT DO THEY TALK ABOUT THAT HERE???? NOPE… it is called bias….. and it is sad, and makes this place unworthy journalism…oh well…no big loss.
WHERE IS KILLER???
KU WILL BE BACK IN THE NCAA HUNT NEXT YEAR,
JUST LIKE WE HAVE BEEN FOR 22 YEARS IN A ROW!!! 22 TIMES IN A ROWMOTHRFUKCER!!! THAT ISTHE CURRENT NCAA REOCRD… WE WON A NTAIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2008….. what do you have to brag about? tiger christmas??….how fucking pathetic is that?…how sad your lives must be that theonly thing you cheer about is another team not winning….
Unfortunatly there is a segment of MU fans that would rather see KU lose then MU win. It is pathetic. Personally other then the times KU has played MU, I have not watched 5 minutes of KU in any sport. I do hate KU (just as you red leggers hate MU). But I don’t typically watch things I hate. I think it funny they lost to VCU, but also would trade places with them in a heart beat. HOWEVER what made my year was MU beating KU in football. Beating your rival should be high on the list of making your year. KU losing never makes the top 20 sports moments of my year.
So let’s make a deal, I will not assume all KU fans are dave mathews loving birkenstock wearing hippy fags, and you guys not assume all MU fans are so pathetic to conisder KU losing “Tiger Christmas” and better then MU winning.
Listen Nimrods
Anyone who makes it to the Elite 8 is not an 11 seed anymore. They are a top 8 team. KU lost to a top 4 team. VCU also beat Painter (The New MU Messiah) and Purdue….a 3 Seed….. in the round of 32. I think VCU is a pretty good team.
Do you hear that beeping noise?
It is the Purdue Brinks truck backing up Painter’s driveway. If MU really wants to shake things up… throw 2.2 Mil at Shaka.
Now that would be interesting.

(To hold up my end of the bargain, I will declare on the record: DMB blows, and Birkenstocks are for Peppermint Patty.)

I have a hard time believing that KU fan was ambivalent a couple of years ago when Mizzou was a good second half away from playing in the BCS championship. My guess is JOCO and Lawrence may as well have been Norman that evening…….either way it
Classic meltdown by KU fans on this board
WTF…chill out people. Jumping on MU fans for relishing in your loss. Get over it man. You guys are sick, getting this upset at what your rival fans think. You clowns are quick to jump on here whenever MU drops an easy one too. Here is a novel idea…how about winning in March rather than choking. My closet is getting too full with all of the Bucknell, Bradley, UNI and VCU gear. Oh who will it be next year. Also, let’s start taking bets on which Morris twin commits his first felony. I loved watching those POS’s crying. Asswipes.
Brencado?
I am confused exactly what have the Morris twins even done to get in trouble with the law? I must have missed this one. Oh yeah one other thing we win in March and every other time too, check the rafters in the Field house!
Did you really talk about crying? I do recall some (I will use your word) crying ass wipes on a bench at the end of a 15-33 point blowout? Maybe you should thing before you type. Better to remain an idiot in silence then open up you mouth(type) and remove all doubt!
JUST THE NORMAL NOISES IN HERE (FOR KC ANYWAY)
“”My closet is getting too full with all of the Bucknell, Bradley, UNI and VCU gear””
WTF??
YOU POOR FOOL!!!!
That mind set is a result of the worst professional sports ownership in the country. You poor non KU fan have nothing to fill your need to be part of W I N N I N G. It is tragic that the Royal and Chiefs are so bad.
THE MIGHTY KANSAS JAYHAWK MENS BASKETBALL program is the only WINNING sports team in a 500 mile radius, and if, for some stupid reason, you can not jump on that bandwagon you are left to collecting one hit wonder school t-shirts. That is just very sad to me. I blame the Royals and Chiefs for this issues.

FUCK DAVID GLASS FOR ALLOWING THE BEST ROYALS PLAYERS TO LEAVE EVERY YEAR. I DONT GIVE A FUCK THAT THURSDAY IS OPENING DAY….WHO FKN CARES???!!!!! I USED TO…. BUT AFTER ZACK…… I AM DONE!! I DONT CARE.

I AM DONE WITH THE NFL UNTIL AT LEAST 2017….They wanna discuss how to divide MY BILLION DOLLARS??!!! HAHAHA HAHAAHA HAHAH HHAHAA….. HOW ABOUT FUCK YOU NFL!!!!! FUCK YOU CLARK HUNT!!!!! FUCK YOU LOSERS!!!!!!
Try puttting a winning team on the field and maybe I will be back, until then…….. I have other thing to do, and thank goodness I have my Kansas Basketball to look forward to…… I relish that there is a list of teams we did not win against in the NCAA tourney…IT SHOW WE WERE THERE!!!! which is more than non KU fans can say….. you poor bastards……

I LOVE BILL SELF !!!!!!
I LOVE KU BASKETBALL!!!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!

When I see people wearing those UNI or Bucknell etc etc tshirts I smile….I like those guys, and i respect those schools. They played very well and they earned my respect, they won against a very very very good team. Those schools DID NOT get far after that, but for one moment hey had national attention, they won against KU, they did good. If KU can do that for them, I am fine with that. There is no shame in helping out others.
Heck it made me smile last night when Jay Leno metnioned my Kansas team : ) yeah : )
I have never been ashamed of how my Basketball Jayhawks have played. I really really watch, and IF they were weak or played horrible, I would not speak up. They never let me down, they may not win, but I am always proud of them. FOR INSATNCE-That come back the other day (comeing back fromdown 18 to only being down 2 points) WOW!, that was amazing, I am proud of the way those/my/our kids played, it was very entertaining, and isnt that the idea?
Thanks again KU basketball, I had a really good time.

I honestly don’t know of a single Jayhawk fan who went out for the express purpose of rooting against Mizzou in the Big 12 championship game that year. Really. I’m not saying it didn’t happen anywhere. I’m saying there were not organized watch parties set up for the express purpose of watching Mizzou lose.
Seriously – explain it to us. We truly don’t understand why Mizzou fans (or, perhaps, just a vocal segment of Mizzou fans) put so much energy into watching us lose. We don’t understand buying T-shirts from another school.
Does that not strike you as lame?
If it’s truly some splinter cell of fans doing this, I’ll shut up. I think every fan base has a group they’d like to disown.
I have been to Big 12 Tournament sessions and witnessed kU fans cheering wildly for whoever Mizzou happened to be playing. And, I see nothing wrong with that. MU fans buy tshirts from another school to piss off guys like you. There’s nothing wrong with that either.
I’m sorry maybe I’m not a very good person or lame as you put it, but on Sunday night watching the local newscasts seeing shots of KU fan melting down after another season full of constant arrogance and self importance brought me a great deal of ironic satisfaction. I’ve personally never bought the mid-major school shirts that upset KU but when it happens again next year maybe I should reconsider if they are getting under your guy’s skin that badly haha.

That’s an excuse I’ve not heard before: We lost because the other team didn’t have a big enough name! I have to hand it to him for creativity.
common ground
The [insert school here] t-shirts don’t piss us off, actually. We truly don’t understand why you would choose to wear another school’s shirt, and the only explanation we can come up with is that your own school’s accomplishments aren’t fulfulling.
To let you in on a secret: we’ll never need to be reminded of Bucknell, Bradley, UTEP, UNI, and now VCU. They’re on our minds every March. Before anyone could say “Boston U – another ‘B’ school!”, we had already thought of it, almost reflexively. As cocky as we may seem outwardly, every KU fan feels the onset of impending doom every March.
Here’s where I think we can agree:
-Mizzou fans see Jayhawk fans as arrogant and entitled (I agree with that assessment, actually), so it’s supremely satisfying to see them come up short.
-Jayhawk fans scoff at the fact that Mizzou fans have to live vicariously through other schools for a large portion of their sports joy.
-We love our teams, defend our flaws, and take up for our fan bases.
Fair enough? So I don’t have to keep checking this thread for responses? 🙂
“The [insert school here] t-shirts don’t piss us off, actually. We truly don’t understand why you would choose to wear another school’s shirt…”
It obviously bothers you a great deal that MU fans wear shirts of schools that inflict embarrassing losses on you. If you really don’t understand why then you’re pretty dumb. Just drop the act.
no words needed for cliffy. what a dufusy. anyway,
hey mu, how is your basketball program? oh thats right, you dont even have a coach and the (non)talent you may have had is leaving your in shambles(non)program and you know that no recruits will attend a loser school where the coaches continue to fail fail fail and then leave for better schools. here is a tip, that is no way to build a program. thank god you mu foolshave ku to talk about or you would have nothing.
good luck with your nobody shirtt, what a joke.

A lot of people bought Bucknell shirts, but I haven’t seen too many of the others. I think we got sick of dropping $25 every March after the Beakers crap the bed. Either way, I bore witness to many a KU fan getting riled up at the sight of a bright orange Bucknell shirt. Don’t pretend it doesn’t get to you.
Their smugness would be absolutely intolerable if it weren’t so easy to get under their skin.
under our thumb… maybe… if we cared
under our skin? are you kidding? sigh, this is just too easy.
caring what an mu fan thinks or even kicking mu at this point is like making fun of Japan for having thier disaster, but hey, call me gilbert…… you poor poor deluded mu goofs, no basketball program, no basketball coach, you lost in the first round of the NCAA, and all you can do is buy shirts of nobody teams? how sad, how pathetic, I dont think you will ever recover, you are too far gone…… you offer coach 2.2 million Dollars AND HE HAS TO THINK ABOUT IT?????!!!! AHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
dude, mu is a lesser than zero “nothingER school” than those nothing schools you bought tshirts for, at least those schools had a moment in the sun, mu is stuck in the dark, under a rock with no hope and you did not even bring a knife…… you have no hope, you should look in the mirror, you are seriously deluded and should seek professional help.
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAA
THEY OFFEERED THAT COACH $2,200,000 AND HE HAD TO THINK ABOUT IT????!!!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAA
