Podcast appearances and mentions of Bill Self

We hear from Bill Self, Dennis Gates, Melvin Council, and Travis Kelce in the Need to Know! Then Seth Keysor of The Chief in the North Newsletter joins the show! Finally, a Jerry Jones Kicker!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   Not everything is perfect in the Travis Kelce/Taylor Swift world as a charity watchdog has identified Kelce's 87 and Running as a fiscal hot mess.  Get this, only 41% of the money the charity raises goes to actual programs.  The rest, apparently, goes to Kelce's buddies that run the thing.  Uh oh.  Here's the good news, Kelce is exactly the kind of guy that would have no idea this is happening, but I'll bet his fiance cleans up his affairs quickly.    KU had a comeback for the ages  beating TCU at Allen Field House Tuesday night.  This is exactly what Bill Self does, even when it feels like it was the other team that blew it.    It's time to celebrate as the Corporation for Public Broadcasting dissolves after a vote of the board.  This has been a taxpayer nightmare since 1967 and now PBS and NPR will have to stand on their own legs.    Trump's getting 50 million barrels of oil from Venezuela and is ordering them to stop drilling until they meet ALL of his terms.  And, he's eying a deal with Greenland now.   He really is making America great, this is just incredible.    Ravens coach John Harbaugh is sacked after 18 years but they fired the wrong guy.  I'll prove it to you.   Sporting KC has a new head coach, the A's can't get the trademark in Las Vegas and the media has a new story to try to take your eyes and ears off all the winning right now.

We hear from Bill Self, Gabe DeArmond, Raphael Wicky, and JJ Picolo in the Need to Know! Then, CBS' Gary Parrish closes the show out with us, talking College Hoops!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In hour number of two of New Day Steven, Nate, and Jake are joined by Mike Decourcy to talk college basketball, and Kansas Basketballs big comeback win over TCU last night. We hear from Bill Self at the podium after last nights win. As well as a comment by Travis Kelce via his podcast in regards to his future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   CNN has finally lifted its ban on allowing Stephen Miller on to talk about the Trump administration but they may be rethinking it.  Miller was in the war room for the Maduro extraction and is obviously the guy who really has Trump's ear.  Wait until you hear how it went with Jake Tapper.    JD Vance had his home attacked by a rock throwing, hammer swinging psycho named William.   He goes by another name but it's not Bill.     Trump has lowered the vax schedule for American kids from 72 to 11.  Great progress.  Hilton hotels has a Bud Light problem on its hands.    In sports, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuola is getting some interest to be a head coach.  Bill Self has some younger KU fans crawling all up in his kitchen right now over the Darryn Peterson situation.  Texas Tech's new quarterback has a billionaire paying him more in one year than Shadeur Sanders will make with the Cleveland Browns in 4 years.    The FCS title game was old school college fun and our Final Final is the end of the monkey business in Prairie Village.

We open the show talking KU Hoops & Bill Self's comments on Freshman Darryn Peterson! Then Gabe DeArmond of PowerMizzou joins the show for some MU Football & Hoops discussion!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

   KC's major league sports teams moving to Kansas has always been inevitable.  It's not just that the STAR bond money is too good to pass up, in the case of the Chiefs, they had no option to build new with an entertainment development anywhere in Missouri.  The team is fibbing.  This wasn't close, it wasn't decided last week and was more like a 48-3 football beatdown.  No Missourians should rejoice they aren't on the hook for it all and can look forward to lower income taxes.  Seems like a win/win to me.    The winner in all this, of course, is Clark Hunt.  His team is really, really good at football.  But his business is next level American Capitalism elite.    Mizzou hoops may be in big trouble this year after a disaster against Illinois.  Bill Self says Darryn Peterson's family is now involved in deciding whether he will play or not.  Oh, boy.     Trump bounce back in polling in a big way.  He announces a new golden fleet of Trump Ships and my childhood root beer stand could be returning to KC in a meaningful way.

Hour 1 - Happy Festivus! And to hear the airing of grievances and moderate the feats of strength plus whatever else occurs, Jacob & Tejay are here with the pole as they too find tinsel distracting. In this segment Bill Self talks Darren Peterson's status and they talk about the Chiefs and a new stadium coming across the state line to Kansas.

   It seemed too good to be true Monday night when everyone was jumping for joy Patrick Mahomes got after it and immediately had surgery to repair a torn ACL.  The Chiefs told us there was nothing more and Andy Reid said it would be a quick recovery.  Wrong.      Dr. Dan Cooper, in Dallas,  operated almost immediately after diagnosing a torn LCL along with the ACL.  We explain why this had to be done fast, hear from an expert doctor and share Tom Brady's thoughts on what is ahead for the future Hall of Fame quarterback.  This won't be easy.    Then, how in the world are we hearing more Eli Drinkwitz rumors, this time around the open job at Michigan?  Bill Self gives an update on Darryn Peterson that is encouraging.    In the news, it feels like they are hiding information at Brown University after the shooting a few days ago.      The ghost fleet of oil ships breaking international law is outrageously large.  We share some thoughts on the tragic story of the Reiner family and Joe Biden wears the wrong hat to an Eagles game.   Our Final Final is the story about a license plate in Texas you won't believe.  Heck, you may want to get this plate.

   Who even knew T-Mobile still had 3500 employees at 119th and Nall in Overland Park at what used to be the Sprint Campus?  Well, the Royals now  controll it all and T-Mobile says the owners are not allowing T-Mobile to stay after their lease expires in 2029.  We all know what that means.    Trump's talking affordability as drivers line up around the country for really, really cheap gas.    The J6 bomber, Brian Cole Jr, is a bit of a gender twisted man as he spent hours and hours online as a "Brony."  You won't believe what this is.    Consumers complain Instacart is gouging them, I have a solution for them.    The Royals get a rare off season win in the draft lottery as the draw for position moved the team up 10 spots in the draft.  What a gift!   Philip Rivers is back as he signs on to the practice squad for the Colts.  Oregon's QB is threatening to not play in the college playoff first round game.  Big 12 commish  Brett Yormark blasts the AD at Notre Dame.  Troy Aikman cuts off UCLA and Bill Self names his MVP so far this season.   Our Final Final is what Amelia Earhart's mom thought happened to her daughter in 1937.

   The Chiefs have gone from the team that almost lost to the team that almost won.  It's pretty obvious watching these guys that the game is almost always more important to their opponent than it is for KC.  If that doesn't change, this season is a train wreck.  But while Denver won its Super Bowl on Sunday at Mile High, there's just too many games left to count out the Chiefs.  If they find the fire, they will make it in easily and could be really hard to knock out.  If they keep up with the slop, this season could be over in 10 days.    KU hoops is suffering the modern drama of paying a great player that wants the money but doesn't want to be there.  It's now obvious to anyone watching that Darryn Peterson, his agent, his team and likely his family are taking Bill Self for a ride.  This is why older coaches are retiring.  The players are in control now.    It's a big week in DC as Putin says he wants to meet with Trump again.  Same for Maduro in Venzuela.  Trump has ordered the Epstein files released and we are about to get a huge change with the SNAP program.    The Cleveland Clinic jabbed up thousands of employees with a flu shot last year and found some incredible results.  Spoiler alert... don't get the shot unless your doctor tells you to.    A midwest city is going to charge you a fee to work your car accident and a rock star obliterates the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame calling it "shameful."

X's and Joe's Episode 40: Data vs Drama - A View of Modern RecruitingBob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome special guest Stephen Ragsdale, creator of IURecruiting.com, for a deep dive into how data-driven analysis can cut through the emotional chaos of following college basketball recruiting.Meet Stephen Ragsdale and IURecruiting.com[00:00-17:00]Stephen introduces himself as a third-generation IU fan who turned his Excel spreadsheet tracking into a comprehensive recruiting website. His journey from casual follower to creator of IURecruiting.com stemmed from wanting better tools to understand the recruiting process. The conversation touches on early season optimism around IU basketball, with Trent Sisley's viral shot from above Five Guys on Kirkwood symbolizing a new era of offensive philosophy under Darren DeVries.The Recruiting Bingo Card[17:00-30:00]Mike unveils his famous "Recruiting Miss Bingo Card" - a collection of predictable fan responses that appear on message boards after every recruiting loss. Classics include "We don't want him anyway," "This just proves we don't cheat," and "I only want kids who want to play for IU." The group discusses how these responses transcend fanbases, with Stephen noting Purdue fans' fixation on the cheating angle and Notre Dame supporters emphasizing academic standards. The card highlights how fans often rationalize losses by suggesting the coach nearly made a catastrophic mistake, but thankfully the recruit had the sense to go elsewhere.The Recruiting Funnel Framework[30:00-45:00]Mike introduces the corporate HR recruiting funnel model adapted for college basketball. Using Kansas's 2019 recruitment of Jalen Wilson as a case study, he demonstrates how successful programs move from many offers (10) to fewer official visits (3) to one commitment. The concept of "traction" becomes crucial - can you get elite kids interested enough to visit? Stephen shares how this framework was eye-opening for him, shifting his perspective from Mike Woodson's "fall in love with one target" approach to understanding roster building as a numbers game requiring multiple irons in the fire.IURecruiting.com Deep Dive[45:00-75:00]Stephen walks through his website's functionality, showing how it tracks offers, visits, and commitments across multiple recruiting classes and positions. The tool includes funnel comparisons with Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas - three programs with distinctly different recruiting philosophies. Key insights emerge about IU's 2026 recruiting:• Strong conversion rates at center position (3 visits from 6 offers)• Limited point guard targeting mirroring industry-wide trends toward portal guards• Critical Anthony Thompson recruitment coming down to IU vs Ohio State• The site reveals patterns that individual recruit tracking missesThe discussion highlights how Bill Self casts the widest net with offers while someone like Coach K was more selective, and how understanding these different approaches helps contextualize IU's strategy.The Modern Recruiting Landscape[75:00-End]The group examines how recruiting has fundamentally changed with the portal era. Key observations:• Elite programs like Florida, Louisville, and Michigan now build rosters with 1-2 elite high school players and multiple high-end portal transfers• Point guard positions especially skew toward experienced portal additions rather than 18-year-old freshmen• International recruiting (IU's two Yugoslav players) represents another talent stream• The "win first, then recruit" fallacy gets debunked - you need elite talent to win, not vice versaMike provides critical context about the Moneyball aspect of NIL: five-star freshmen rarely saturate winning metrics like Box Plus Minus. Only four five-stars made the top 50 nationally in BPM last season (Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, and VJ Edgecombe). The sweet spot kids and elite transfers dominate those leaderboards, suggesting programs should be more strategic about where they invest NIL dollars.The episode concludes with cautious optimism about DeVries's early recruiting indicators and why the Anthony Thompson recruitment looms as a key test.On the mics: Bob Moats, Mike Wiemuth, and special guest Stephen RagsdaleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How will Duke's backcourt fare against a tough slate of guards? Can Scheyer get his first win over Bill Self? How does Duke contain Darryn Peterson?

Football season is here! Mark Van Sickle predicts every KU game plus an update on Bill Self's health and a new assistant basketball coaching hire!

For the last two seasons, the Kansas Jayhawks have been just ... there. Not a team vying for a national championship, not even one of the 15 best teams in the sport. Just another team that drifted into the background — and was a letdown. For most schools, this would be understandable. Not in Lawrence. Enter Darryn Peterson and a crew of freshmen and transfer portal talent to revive the standard at Phog Allen. How will the Jayhawks fare this season? Norlander brings on C.J. Moore of The Athletic to get a deeper look at KU, including the latest on Bill Self's health. 02:52 - Status update on Bill Self 10:16 - Kansas won't start out 2025-2026 as a top-10 team (and that's a good thing) 16:48 - Who's Gone, Who's Back, and Who's New For KU 36:21 - Regular Season Win Predictions! 44:54 - Will the Big 12 be better, worse, or the same this season?

With the heart procedure that Bill Self had, The Drive wondered how much longer the Hall of Fame coach will be at Kansas.

   We learned Thursday that Bill Self was taken to the hospital again for another heart procedure making it at least three times in four years.  A full recovery is expected after two more stents were inserted.  But what we didn't know is that Self has been coaching with a PICC line... a catheter to deliver medicine and nutrition to his heart.  We have the details and the ask the big question about this legendary coach.    In Columbia, Eli Drinkwitz gets a long contract extension but didn't take much of a raise.  Intstead, he got double the amount he can pay his assistants.  You have to love this guy.   Trump is headed to Scotland for five days after touring the Federal Reserve HQ and Jerome Powell on Thursday.  We were surprised there weren't more fireworks.    Chuck E. Cheese was hauled out of the famous pizza place in Florida and arrested by police.... right in front of all the kids.      And we remember the great Hulk Hogan and tie it in to the Song of the Week.

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.    The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.    A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.    Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.    Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

   Jac Caglianone made his Major League debut and he looked the part even though he went 0-5.  The Royals also had their biggest comeback of the year.  It happened on a day where lawmakers in Jeff City made progress to getting money for the teams to stay in Missouri but didn't like the answer from team lobbyists when they asked for a commitment.    Bill Self believes he has a big advantage over other programs with the hiring of Jacque Vaughn.  Former pitcher Trevor Bauer wins another case against one of his false accusers after she breaks their agreement from 2023.    ICE has picked up the wife and five kids of the worst illegal alien terrorist of all time... the bare chested dude in Colorado.    Elon Musk is really, really mad at the Big, Beautiful Bill even as Trump defends it.  It may not be a leap to say an MSNBC Host has said the dumbest thing of all time.   Murder rates are down in America's cities but up in KC.  And another City Hall employee is filing a suit against Mayor Q's regime.

   All the excitement around Jac Caglianone being called up by the Royals was expected... all the controversy was not.  Here's why those saying the Royals are crazy to do this right now are just flat wrong.    The KC Star is making up bizarre reasons why Missouri will not get stadium support funding done in the special session.  How bizarre?  Would you believe they are blaming Pride Month?    KJ Adams is out of hoops for at least a year with an achilles injury and had said goodbye to KU.  Now he's back as Bill Self has offered him an incredible opportunity to rehab with KU's team of providers while working on the basketball "staff."    Trump polls are climbing even higher and some liberal pollsters are started to put together pieces about what makes conservatives tick.    The illegal alien terrorist that set fire to Jews in Colorado has ties to USAID.  And one of the escaped prisoners in New Orleans posts a video asking Donald Trump for help and suggests he will turn himself in.    Our Final Final is about Bills quarterback Josh Allen's celebrity wedding and a guest that has everyone scratching their head.
