IT'S DEJA VU FOR KANSAS FANS!
The Jayhawks make the Final Four for the first time since 2003, and just like 2003, Kansas will have to deal with rumors that its coach will be leaving for his alma mater. In 2003, it was Roy Williams going to UNC (When Roy Williams stated after the championship loss: "I don't give a sh*t about Carolina, right now." and still bolted for Carolina). Now, it's Bill Self being courted by his alma mater (and that of his wife) Oklahoma State. Reliable inside sources tell the K-Line that OSU boosters have been planning for the buy-out of Sean Sutton's contract coupled with the pursuit of Self. Self is in a precarious position. If he doesn't go on the record and state publicly and loudly that he has no interest in the Oklahoma State job and Kansas loses to Carolina or in the championship game, then everyone will say his team was distracted by the rumors. If he pulls a "Roy Williams: "I don't give a sh*t about Oklahoma State and then bolts for OSU, he will need a constant police escort whenever his team plays in Lawrence. Kansas, if it loses another coach to a coach's alma mater better make sure that its next coach is a Kansas alum. Danny Manning? Rex Walters?

I suggest that Self lose to UNC and then go Roy one better by dropping the F bomb:
"I don't give a flying F about Oklahoma State right now."
It would add a little if Self could include a reference to "those f'ing hicks down there at OSU."
