Varsity Kansas - The Blog

Oooh, I love to see the activity on this blog. I guess all I need to do is put Arthur Brown in the title and those who hate vs. those who sweat the Browns come typing. I don’t even want to get into the logic/rationale of those types.

Here’s some comments from some recent posters:

From Matt G: “Nobody wants to talk about girls basketball. I want to talk about sports that I can watch and not fall asleep.”

OK, I’m guessing Matt is a 37-year-old man with no woman in his life and no chance at it. Hee, hee, just kidding Matt. But, seriously, do you have a girlfriend, wife, mother, sister? Yes, there is some bad girls basketball out there. Lord, I’ve seen my share. But there is some god-awful boys basketball, too. Maybe you’re blessed to only be a fan of a perennially winning boys team, but even if you are, surely you’ve seen the crappy teams.

I know, I’m a girl, but have you seen the Heights girls play? My goodness, watch the Andover Central girls. This is fast-paced basketball, akin to what Southeast, East, Heights and McPherson boys are playing. It’s fun to watch. Girls are different athletes than boys, but there are some seriously talented chicks who can send the ball into the stands (i.e. former McPherson center Marlies Gipson, now at K-State who averaged more blocks than points some games.) If you say, oh, but it happens more in boys. Please, I’ve seen one stud shot-blocker this year and that’s Heights’ Kelten Marshall.

Alright, moving away from the caveman…

From RikRok: “Those weren’t comments about your Arthur Brown blog, that was just the same ol’ Brown, Brown & Butler folks yipping back and forth.Stick some other football player’s name up there and hear the crickets chirp. “

I like RikRok’s honesty since I’ve come back, but it hurts me to hear that the reason people were coming to the blog before my maternity leave wasn’t because of my fab posts but because people love to rip Brian Butler and the Browns. All right, I’m wiping the tears away.

I know what he’s saying because if Chris Harper doesn’t draw the interest of the Browns when I write about him, it’s just those who hate and those who sweat the Browns/Butler who write. Truly sad. This blog could be a good place for commentary.

On the other hand, isn’t it nice not having such hatred directed toward a couple of pretty nice teens? Yep.

We’ve also had some comments about the problems with the discussion board. I will pass those on to those who might be able to do something about it. I know there’s been talk about stats being updated, and I can understand the frustration. We’re working on it. This is a work in progress and does take time. But thanks to all of you for your interest and concerns.

Any other topics out there?
