Screw Bill Gates

Alas, I've seen the light and officially dumped Microsoft Internet Explorer and switched to Safari on my Mac. Thus, I can post at will. Beware.

It's been a few days since my last post and my Hawks haven't done so well, on the surface at least. At times, our offense has executed quite well and we've done some brilliant things in spurts. However, we've sputtered when it has mattered most. Clearly, up to this point, on the eve of the Cal game, our team looks like a bunch of inexperienced, extremely talented freshmen and sophomores. Observers from all over the country have said this team has game, it just lacks experience. We've dropped a couple of games (Arkansas, Nevada and St. Joe's) that we could have won. And we fought Arizona tooth and nail. Each of these games could have been easiy had with a little more experience considering that we lost to senior-laden teams. Also, let's keep in mind that Big 12 conference has not even started yet and that the experience gained from these early games will help us in conference play (Particularly on the road at Stillwater). If we finish in the top three to four in the Big 12, keep in mind that our invitation to the Big Dance comes will come from our conference play and not the pre-season schedule. We just have to show well in conference.

Fellow Jayhawks, have faith. Bill Self is the man we wanted to replace Roi Williams (The Lyin' King as some would have). We lost a Hall of Fame coach to his own Freudian issues; however, I am supremely confident that Mr. Self will deliver the goods. After all, how many coaches actually WANT to coach in Lawrence, KS. These terrific freshmen and sophomores need time. If not this year (which I hope they can still achieve), next year will be a banner year.

Please be patient. Your efforts will be rewarded. I guarantee it!

Geaux Hawks!
