Has anyone got any information on the guy who wrote this? I wondered where he went to college. This article is BS if you ask me. My nephew who is a huge WSU Shockers fan sent to me.

Funny, I always think the Dukes, Carolinas and Kentucky's of the world get the calls. I don't honestly see KU getting favored calls all the time. Yes there have been some bad calls but it goes both ways.

Someone needs to hook this guy up with the person that did the statistical analysis of calls at home vs away and there were several schools in the Big XII that get more calls at home than the Jayhawks including WVU.

Sombody needs some cheese to go along with their "whine".

Look, I enjoy Huggy, but he's the LAST guy who should complain about slanted refereeing. Maybe he hasn't benefited as much this year because I don't think they have as good a team this year, but going to Morgantown to face "Press Virginia" usually means a total and complete hackfest of uncalled slaps, shoves and holds.

If Huggy wants the refs to call fouls on KU players, maybe he should send them into the paint and have them challenge our guys. Chucking shots from outside all day won't attract many whistles.

He's from Kentucky and is a Louisville guy. Couldn't find much else.

thanks Port, that's what I was able to find too but couldn't find out if he graduated from a school that would hate KU. I totally agree that tons of teams get fouls including WVU. I can't believe how hack happy they are with no calls when playing in WVU. Kind of like the bully in the neighborhood when I was a kid. He couldn't handle it when he someone did the same thing to him that he was doing to others.

Ken Pomeroy shot down the KU gets most favored argument for any willing to believe the data.

Don't feed the trolls.

It's as simple as that. Haters of KU's success are not going to be swayed by facts, analysis, and reason. If their teams can't beat the Hawks on the court, which they can't, they have to poke holes in the nature of our success. The facts are clear: not only Pomeroy's, but the Star has done detailed analysis on this in prior seasons (because it always comes up).

Coach Doofus in Manhattan helped fuel it all with his whining, and Huggins furthered it with his diminishment of a great KU comeback and win in Lawrence.

At this point, I don't give a rat's tush about these whiners and hate-mongers.

Life is good at the top. And it has been for 14 straight years. (And counting...)
