What odds would you give the Jayhawks in their first-round game against Niagara today?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on March 16, 2007
“Definitely 100-1. It’s a lock. We’re too balanced this year to make the same mistake we’ve made in the past.”
“I’ll say 75-1. We’re a pretty good team. I don’t think there is really any way we could lose in the first round.”
“Fifty to one Jayhawks. That’s my team; they’re my boys.”
“I won’t give a number, but I think the odds are pretty good. I think they’re playing with a confidence that won’t let them stumble in the first round like before.”

It's like tangling with a raccoon. You go up to it and think, "Heck, I can whup that little furry thing." But when you go at it, whoa, that little thing is fighting for its life and just might beat you.

mick, are you saying all of the Niagara players are small and fury?
mick 6 years, 2 months ago
Fury maybe. Watch out.

I think KU will win... I think they'll probably get to the Sweet Sixteen. Can't see beyond that.
I'm just happy Duke lost. I haven't liked Duke since 1987.
Topside 6 years, 2 months ago
PLUH-EASE what a dumb question. How about Topside's odds of gettin' Dana Miller- Message Therapists' phone number? Grrrowl!
Now there's a long shot for you.

My hope is that all naysayers of KU during this post season tournament will be embarrassed after tonight. KU all the Way!

2,4,6,8, WHO DO WE APPRECITATE?
sgtwolverine 6 years, 2 months ago
Wait, isn't Kansas a 1 seed? Isn't it true that no 16 seed has defeated a 1 seed? That being the case, I'd give Kansas very, very good odds.
Also, I was happy to see Duke lose.

He is a historian, not a futurian.
beatrice 6 years, 2 months ago
Kansas will make it to the Final Four, at the very least, since they don't face a "B" team throughout their bracket. I'll betcha a Klondike bar they win tonight.

Prospector, That does not give me much concern.
What concerns me is American Electric Power proposing to capture and pump CO² into underground caverns. When CO² sublimates from within the planet mars, the explosive pockets burst suddenly and unexpectedly. One could literally have their house sitting on a landmine.

"What concerns me is American Electric Power proposing to capture and pump CO² into underground caverns."
That'll honk off the Mole People in a major way.
