@JayhawksExpress If you’re going to throw out BREAKING news flashes, maybe do a quick spell check so at least someone believes you. Just sayin’…

Jack Hughes with an all-time quote after his all-time moment in the Olympics 🙌🥇

@1n44n6 @lindseyvonn The X-rays are aligned perfectly. They are two images taken intra-operatively of her leg that was too long to include on one image. The two printed pages were aligned to show the whole leg and all the hardware. A terrible fracture fixed extremely well.

@BracketNky Please. No missed travel call “flips” a game with 10:30 left. Shooting 57% from the line for Arizona compared to 84% by Kansas is much more relavent to the outcome of the game.

@llehctiMRdivaD @JayRsmoove @CougarStats @grok I was at the game. There was no such chant

[Dr. Matt Matava @DrMattMatava]

@kstateman14 Your team 1) gave up with 8 minutes left and 2) lost by 24 points AT HOME to your biggest rival, all while your fans chant “F- - k KU” and your coach proudly claimed to have the best athlete, best shooter, and best point guard in the country. Don’t blame Melvin for this one.

@WIBWAndrew @WIBWsports Go get a G-League guy, Jerome. You’ll still get out-coached and lose to Bowling Green.

@mikegolicjr Mike, 715 and J. Wilson’s are great for a more high-end meal. The Burger Stand has great burgers and a stocked bar. Jefferson’s is the most popular student spot before and after a game for college comfort food.
Rock Chalk!

@ScotPollard31 Scot, what are your thoughts on the transfer portal that was initiated at the same time that NIL was allowed? Collision course for the end of elite college sports as we know them or fair treatment of college students to earn what they can and go to school where they want?

[Dr. Matt Matava @DrMattMatava]

@ScotPollard31 Scot, My son and I saw you at Allen Fieldhouse this past season. You looked great! I hope your recovery is going well. Can you imagine how much you would’ve made in your day if NIL was in existence? Rock Chalk!

Congratulations to the @WashUMedOrtho graduating Chief Residents with guest speaker, Ben Ma, MD, Department Chair at @UCSFOrthosurg.
Five years of hard work is just the beginning!

@fq212 @KUHoops @KUAthletics @banthis120 @jswisshere Coach Q, you left your mark on Jayhawk Nation by encouraging us to turn a glass half empty into a glass half full through nothing more than a positive mind set. Best wishes as you begin your new journey. You will be missed! ROCK CHALK!

@WashUMedOrtho congratulates the @XFLBattlehawks team on making the 2025 playoffs!

[Dr. Matt Matava @DrMattMatava]

@WUSTLortho proud to provide medical coverage of the 2025 NCAA #MFrozenFour hockey championships in St. Louis. A great event for all true hockey fans.

@MSwain247 @247Sports @TravisBranham_ @ebosshoops This whole thing is out of control. There is zero stability now that D-1 college sports are essentially a high-stakes pick-up league. Institute a contract system just like any other pro sports organization.

[Dr. Matt Matava @DrMattMatava]

@16stra8wins @SCNext @PetersonDarryn @KUHoops @PaulBiancardi Lol. I remember when K-State made the NCAA Tournament.

@therealmrbench “Decolonizing academia”?
Does that mean one dominant university is taking over a less dominant one??

Note the leash around “their” arm undoubtedly attached to a service animal.

Preseason physicals are in full swing for the @XFLBattlehawks and the other @TheUFL teams before the start of training camp. Player health always comes first.

@JawhawkChatter @M_Vernon @RRinehart2012 @bturner23 @JayhawkTalk @GoPowercat Tim Fitzgerald thinking to himself: “Is he really saying this?” as he hits the mute button repeatedly to no effect.

[Dr. Matt Matava @DrMattMatava]

@MSwain247 The 3-point shooters on this team (Griffin, Mayo, Coit, Harris, Storr) are right-handed shots. It may be that the backboard is more of a visual “impediment” from the right corner for a right-handed shooter and less so from the left corner.
