Who'd win in a fight?
Robinson or Vaughn? DJackson or Graves? Kahn or Pollard? Rush or Pierce? DA or Simien? Teahan or Nooner? hehehe. Moody or Klienmann?
Damn, actually those all would be pretty good fights. Notso good fights... Anyone vs Chenowith Anyone vs Moolaye
ha this was pretty good. I bet Collins would be a good little fighter ( quick, strong, athletic). Also what about Stewart - I've heard them talking about how he took up boxing in the off season, he would be my new favorite fighter if he ended up pursuing that after college instead of basketball.

Interesting, seeing how no way in the world will the BCS buffoons ever give KU a chance in the mythical title game unless they have a perfect record and no SEC has more than 3 losses.

Michhawk those guys were soft. Pierce is the only one that has been worth a damn as a pro. When it came down to the last 4-8 teams in the country they ALWAYS ran into a more physical team. NO QUESTION.

I'll take Richard Scott against any of those choices.

Well, it's official...
Self > you
From the class he has as a person, to the wins, to the conference titles after conference titles, to now the Championship, to the way the guy recruits, to the teams that he puts out on the floor to compete, etc. etc. etc., there is not another coach in the history of college basketball I would rather have than Self.
If no one had reservations about Self then you are either liars, or eternal optimists. I look at my post back in December and that was awfully uncharacteristic of me. It seems I believed in Coach Self and his abilty but wanted and needed him to prove to me that he could have a team that would live up to expectations. I do believe that if last years team fell short of the Sweet 16 - that most on here would have lost (at least some) faith in him.

Why?
Dude had taken KU to 2 Elite 8's, won 3 conference Championships, won 2 tourney championships in 4 years in his transition years. 99% of fans would love to have that over a 4 year stretch only the eternal pessimists (you) or the unrealistic demand better.
Why the "reservations?" His two 1st round losses? Come on, with one of those being a team that limped to the finish and the other team having same as zero tourney experience, it's not that shocking in my book.
that's no worse than what other HOF coaches have done.
