The Associated Press Free for All Call 864-0500 Did I just see a sign that said Rock Chalk Gayhawk? Is that even legal? - - Hey Graves: Get off of the drugs you moron. Kansas basketball is starting to look like Missouri basketball. Shoot a lot of threes and lose. - I thought the loss at Oklahoma State was pretty bad but I guess in six days we couldn't get our heads out of our asses. This is just pathetic. I am so sick of watching KU basketball that I am going to switch the station to Nascar racing and I hate Nascar racing. - Something that comes to mind when I here the name Bill Self is his initials. What did Gravy train do? We need him back. If these boys don't have passion for the game then why should we? All we have got to say is: Thanks Graves for your commitment to our fine basketball team. - Why is Jeff Greves not in uniform and why is Bahe on the floor at the end of the game and Hawkins hasn't been on the court the whole game? 图 - That's it. I am transferring to North Carolina. - What could Graves have possibly done that would be worth losing to Nebraska I if started behind David Padgett, I would have disciplinary problems too.
