Since Local Radio stinks..

I decided to look up our old friend Danny Parkins, now in KC. Podcasts from his show get posted daily. He had Pomeroy & Bilas on yesterday.

He's pretty optimistic about KU but I thought his co-host (who full disclosure I think is a Mizzou fan) brought up an interesting "say their weaknesses out loud" theory:

Kansas - "don't defend that well, sketchy PG play, one of their best players hurt."
Not exactly characteristics you like in a team that goes far.

When I do this for Cuse, "no depth, can't shoot"...
Not ideal, but considering every team has warts; those deficiencies sound a bit more manageable to me, considering mediocre shooting teams can get hot for a few games.

Also heard Pomeroy on with Lebatard yesterday & he answered 'Cuse for teams that are being underrated right now. Yes, he was one of the guys who hated us a month ago.

When I was a freshman, I decided to check out WAER. The person that they decided to be the mentor of my partner and I was senior (or maybe Jr) Danny Parkins. He was so good on the radio that it intimidated the hell outta me. I lasted a week.

I lasted a week.

Then you switched to Photoshop, and the rest is history.

Seems reasonable actually. Underrated as one of the nine best in the country but overrated as the best in the country. I think many folks felt that way then and now.
