Asked at Massachusetts Street on October 17, 2008

“Yeah, we were just talking about going. I’m really looking forward to seeing the scrimmage.”

— Fabian Conde, Kansas University senior, Overland Park

“I’m going. I’ve never been before because they usually have it during fall break, but I’m a huge basketball fan and I hear they’re going to drop the championship banner, so I’m excited to see that.”

— Lauren Tevis, KU senior, Prairie Village

“Yes, I am. I’ve gone to seven or eight of them now. I’m KU born and raised. I’m excited about the banner. I want to see the new recruits play and also see the players that are considering signing.”

— Matt Roberson, KU senior, Overland Park

“Yes, but unfortunately I have to work so I can only watch it on TV.”

— Dani Klein, KU junior, Newton

I used to always go when I was younger. We were going to take the oldest girl but she's sick. So instead of late night in the Phog, it'll be long day in the bathroom. I hate it when my babies are sick!!!

My TV set is indoors, so I can catch Conan sans "phog."

Why, so I can be deceived by how well these new players score against no to little defense?I loved it the last couple years when co-workers went on about how good Jeremy Case (or insert any role player here) is and how he might average 20 points a game because he made wide-open shots in a scrimmage.

Wait, is this that "college basketball" thing again? We here in the Ann Arbor area are unfamiliar with this idea; the last time it existed here was during the Fab Five era, which the NCAA says we're not supposed to remember but we do anyway.

Well now, I was so intrigued by today's question that I just had to look at the related story to find out what this mysterious happening could possibly be. After reading the first four paragraphs I am still definitely in the fog (phog). I only understood one word,- basketball - oh- make that two words, also Canada, I understood that word. They sat ignorance is bliss. It is true.

At $55 dollars a seat, the economic downturn has affected my overall mood.

sgt,I thought the fav five were those guys from "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy"? They played basketball at Michigan?

RI - No, they play at Missouri.

R_I, I'm not sure the guys from Queer Eye are really fab. Maybe they should be called the Somewhat Okay But Not Great And Actually Pretty Obnoxious Five Who Would Be Better In A Silent Movie. Or is that too long?Anyway:http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/basketball/men/02tourney/2002-03-27-cover-fab5.htm

I never cared for Steve Fisher or the way he let his player be classless, even before the fab five.

doesn't that thing start at midnight? tell me what happened. I will probably collapse from total exhaustion after the OU game.

Yeah, the Fab Five produced more hype than results, and their misdeeds really helped ruin what used to be a pretty good basketball program. Sooner or later they might manage to resurrect it back into a program worth watching -- there are glimmers of hope now -- but I'm not holding my breath. Michigan is a football school.

Well, as far as sports goes, I have had enough excitement for one night. I just finished watching the Rockford Icehogs trounce the Iowa Chops 6 - 3 and the excitement came when my grandson got his first goal of the season. He also got 2 assists and was first star of the game. Yea! Robbie, way to go. Makes a gramas heart beat faster. Rob is an Icehog this year having moved from Norfolk, Virginia Admirals.
