OPEN GAME THREAD: Xavier
Tonight, we seek vengeance. All for one ass-kicking and one ass-kicking for all Musketeers, as it were.
And no, it's not pronounced "Zah-ve-ay" ... but watch Dave Armstrong flub it up anyway. Stupid Jayhawk homer.
You know the drill — comments after the jump.

Many many thanks
I just finished finals and work in the school’s library and this will now be an appropriate celebration night. Now lets go cats!
No prob
Apparently, he does every game.
Luckily, I haven’t needed his services all year. Nice change of pace.
Congrats on finishing finals.
My advice to you….never leave Manhattan.
It sucks out there when you leave.

i actually finished from Kstate about 5 years ago and am in grad school out here in Los Angeles. Suprisingly its actually dang cold out here but no blizzard
Ah, I like LA...
Well, I should say that I like the Ontario/Upland/Rancho area.
Never move back here because it’s warmer there.

Yep. Ive come to really enjoy it all
i actually kindof miss the nice changes in season and weather but not sure i miss the blizzards. I remember in like 2002/2003 when kstate beat texas at home and there were only a few hundred people at the game becasue of the same conditions that are happening tonight. I was at that game and have to say it was one of the best games to watch ever
I just finished the watching the video at the following link...

I'll fill you in on what's going on...
Clubzilla is one step closer to entering the real world (which, ironically, is keeping you stuck at work.)
Bracket is passing out pirate Internet TV links.
And I’ve turned up my TV about as loud as prudently possible because the wife is painting trim in the nursery while blaring Bon Jovi on a boombox.
Also, even with cameras stationed indoors, Minnesota looks bleak, cold, and I believe living there is probably as good a reason to harm yourself as anything else out there.
Dave Armstrong is calling our game. Over/under on the first KU reference?
Also, odds that he’s had Bill Self’s hangdown in his mouth in the past three days?

Not a bad start defensively
If we could hit more FT we would be ahead by 14. I think Xavier will have a tough go in the second with all those fouls look for them to come out and play more zone. Pullen and Clemente should get more 3 pt opportunities. Keep up the defense and sick rebounding and hit our FT and we should win going away.
Good point. XU has 14 team fouls so far.

I'd love for it to happen.
If he goes to OU, he’s an idiot. Landry Jones will still start. Nothing against Cam, but that’s what OU does; they take guys like him and make them WR’s.
Miss. State makes sense, North Carolina doesn’t, Auburn under Chizik is an absolute farce, and KSU offers everything he wants (or has stated to want) in terms of role and opportunity to start.
KSU should get him, but my guess is that he goes to either Auburn or Miss St. to continue playing in the SEC.

They were tired. 9 consecutive days of practice or games. Mentally there, by physically tired.
Glad they got a win, even if it was ugly.

It was a good win, but the blizzard leaving Bramlage was pretty nasty. The refs were pretty awful, but what else is new. Not pretty, but a win.

Jamar agrees:
On that stat, Samuels quipped, “That is embarrassing. I’m going to get a call from my mom . ‘You missed nine free throws. You could have easily had 20 points.’ She watches the game and tells me ‘.deep breath, bend your knees, shoot the ball.’”
That’s when Curtis Kelly added, “She’s going to get you.”

Anyone listen to Armstrong's apology today on 810?
I might have to take back a few of the things I have said about him. That was very professional of him.
That said, I still don’t think he’s that great of a broadcaster, even if the “pro-KU bias” thing is a little overblown sometimes.
But he had some nice things to say about the Cats tonight, and I can’t help but think that if he had just said them during the game last night, there wouldn’t have been this big shitstorm today.
All people want is a little validation of their team, and I think it was the pro-Xaver/minimizing Xavier’s mistakes aspect that set people off, more than the statue flub.
I hope it wasn't the statue flub...
…because while that’s a dumb mistake, it hardly warrants a firestorm that demands a public apology.

I think it was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back
But yeah, I guess he got a lot of e-mails about it and felt bad enough to apologize publicly.
I’m willing to give him a slight pass for a while. I honestly don’t think he realizes how often he awkwardly shoehorns KU into the conversation … and I also think we’re more sensitive to it than most.
What did he say?
What did Armstrong say? I heard Kietzman and someone talking about the fact that he had apologized, but now specifically what he’d said.
