    Oof. I'm sure I cranked a few out to one of her posters on my wall back in my jr high days. She was fine as shit in that timeless classic, The Beastmaster, which used to run on HBO frequently way back in the day.

    Tanya Roberts death has been greatly exaggerated, because her rep now says she's alive, despite the rep not only telling TMZ she died, but sending out a press release with that information.

    TMZ reported Sunday Tanya had died after collapsing at her home on Christmas Eve and being rushed to the hospital and placed on a ventilator.

    The rep had told us she died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. He told us Tanya's husband had informed him that Tanya had passed.

    We even got a quote from the rep from Tanya's husband, Lance, saying, "As I held her in her last moments, she opened her eyes."

    Now the rep, Mike Pingel, tells TMZ, Lance got a call just after 10 AM Monday from the hospital saying Tanya was still alive. Pingel said Lance truly believed Tanya had died.

    What's more shocking, Lance was recording an interview with Inside Edition when he got the call from the hospital to deliver the news ... a very emotional call.

    Would. Won't. Put me down for a "maybe"

  2. Just noticed that Quantumscape has fallen from $130 to $50 in the last week or so......and still has a market cap of close to $20 billion ($10 million revenue, -$65 million operating income).  Meanwhile you can buy a company like Dana Industries that sells hundreds of millions of dollars worth of electrical components ( electric motor and drive system, battery modules and battery management, thermal management and onboard charger and auxiliary systems) to many of the EV startups as a component supplier. Their market cap is $2 billion ( $7 billion in revenue, $200 million in operating income). Crazy shit with some of these valuations.

    First, Kai Jones is not currently listed very high on many draft boards (30-40 range). I would be willing to bet that he comes back for another year as he has the potential to climb up into the lottery with continued improvement and visibility. 

    You probably could have said the same thing about Jaxson Hayes 10 games into the 2019 season:

    Those stats look awfully similar for 6'11 guys. If Kai continues to put up similar or better numbers in conference play, no reason for me to assume he can't go lottery just ike Jaxson did. If anything Kai has shown much better range shooting the ball. Obviously a ways to go before we start talking draft, but he reminds me a lot of Jaxson. Freak long athlete that gets more and more attention as the season progresses. 

    Edit - checking blocked shots Jaxson has the advantage 2.2 vs 1.1, so perhaps Kai's advantage as a shooter is balanced by Jaxson's defensive abilities.

    The No. 105-ranked player and No. 17-ranked receiver in 2021, Davis was recruited to the Jayhawks by wide receivers coach Emmett Jones. He has a grade of 0.9515 in the 247Sports Composite, shattering the previous Kansas best of 0.9055 — the Composite grade given to four-star running back Pooka Williams. 

    For reference, Williams was ranked No. 272 in the 247Sports Composite, 167 spots lower than Davis.

    Four-star running back Devin Neal — previously the highest-ranked KU signee by the Top247 — had a grade of .8850 in the 247Sports Composite and 91 by the Top247. He was ranked No. 213 by the latter.

    Kind of amazing that previous to Davis, the highest ranked recruit ever to make it to KU (at least in the 247 sports era) was 213. Even more amazing that those scrubs beat us in 2016 and it took a last second FG last year to avoid another loss.

    If every player cared as much as you did, we would have won it all

    Indeed. We've had better players, but I doubt we've ever had a player bust his ass and leave it out there on the field for the longhorns as much as Sam. And more importantly he seems like a well-adjusted, good guy. Not sure what the NFL holds for Sam, but if it doesn't work out, I'm sure something else will.

  7. Lulz at the quote above about "the people I talked to at UT are incredibly excited by the notion of Sark being our coach". Well no shit. I would be concerned if that wasn't the case. They asll seemed pretty excited about snagging Herman as well.  Personally I give him about a 25% chance of sticking around longer than 4 years, but that's probably the same percentage everybody not named Saban or Meyer would get at this point. No use bitching about him at this point, I guess we'll see over the next week or so what he can do with the university's checkbook behind him.

    Ok, now that the shock has worn off, I'm liking the fact that at bare minimum we've got a guy who understand what it takes having been at Bama and also is a lights out recruiter.

     

    some of you m'fers have motored all the way through to the acceptance phase? Shit, I'm still raging in denial.

    This. tOSU has his full attention now if it didn’t already.

    Reminds me of the 2014 season. They were under the radar that year. They took down Bama in the semis after getting down early. And then they dominated. Then went on to beat Oregon. I think this team is better than that one. But this Bama team is better than that years. This is one of the better Bama teams I've seen.

    wonder what the total will be? Anything under 70 and I'm taking the over without a second thought. Probably will be in the 70's.

    Something tells me Ryan Day took that ranking personally. I don’t think he calls them off

    Hope not. Dabo deserves to get his shit pushed in the full 4 quarters for flapping his gums. He had every right to say it, and he has every right to take the full no lube treatment for being stupid enough to give tOSU that fire.
