Kansas sophomore guard Tyshawn Taylor will be out up to four weeks with a dislocated thumb sustained in an altercation involving several football and basketball players, coach Bill Self said.

Taylor was taken to the hospital following a skirmish Tuesday evening outside of the university's student union building. Sources told the Lawrence Journal-World that players from the two teams were arguing as they entered and exited the building and punches were thrown.

Taylor was the only one reportedly injured. None of the others involved was identified.

"Four weeks is on the high end," said Self, who was on a recruiting trip when the fight occurred. "The doctors told me three to four weeks."

Self said he did not have all of the details and did not know if there would be any disciplinary action taken against those involved.

"We're aware of reports of an incident and we are gathering facts as we speak," Kansas associate athletic director Jim Marchiony told the Journal-World.

On his Facebook page, Taylor admitted he threw a punch.

"I got a dislocated finger ... from throwing a punch, so don't let the newspaper gas ya all up, aite," he posted after midnight, according to the Kansas City Star.

Taylor's earlier posts indicated there may have been some tension among the athletes on campus. On Tuesday morning he wrote, "keep my name out ya mouth for you get smacked in it." A half-hour later, a posting read, "never get outta character ... I'm always a G about it."

Later that afternoon, Taylor posted, "n-----s be muggin me ... you know I'm mugging back." The altercation occurred about two-and-a-half hours later, the Journal-World reported.

Kansas, the prohibitive preseason No. 1 team, is scheduled to begin its season on Oct. 16 with "Late Night at the Phog," its annual opening practice. The Jayhawks' first game is Nov. 13.

Taylor averaged 9.7 points and 3 assists as a freshman.

what's the name of the guy who got stabbed in the leg (?) and transferred to New Mexico? I'mma remember right after i hit send.

edit: JR Giddens. figures.

[Degenerate]

Giddens was always a G about it, too.

As well as the former d-lineman who got stuck in the drive-thru at Taco Bell trying to shake a bitch who f'ed up his order.

A "G".... :?

Damn.

I must be old.

Help a honky out.

Gangsta

Old school. Like Capone.

Although I doubt Capone would have set his Facebook status to "about to gas some North Siders up, aite"

This made front page news of the KC Star today.

Thug U, midwestern style.

[Mook]

Looks like there are a few dim bulbs on the KU football and basketball teams.... :doh:

[Adelpiero]

Rumors were, the football players were getting their asses handed to them by the Basketball players.

Reesing was at the bar during the scuffle

[War Wagon]

addled sighting!

Where the fuck have you been?

Welcome back.

[Degenerate]

Reesing was at the bar during the scuffle

Of course he was. Anything involved with giving something to another team, he's there.

Where are your Breeders Cup picks?

Gio Ponti as a longshot in the Classic? You know the Euros will all be overbet this weekend.

Haven't looked. Been busy as hell, will miss every MU home game, except the trip to Arrowhead. You going to game at Arrowhead?

i'll dload the pp's later, i know they drew post position. Once Fairmount Park closed for the season, i haven't even taken a gander at any tracks or races.

[Degenerate]

Adel, i'm in the same boat. I haven't looked at shit since the Belmont.

However, I saw Presious Passion win a huge one at Monmouth after setting an amazing pace. If he does it again, I don't know that the Euros have enough to catch him. Typically they hate pacesetters who run with the intention of winning; they are much more accustomed to rabbits. So I might go with him in the turf.

Gio Ponti at 12-1 in the Classic is intriguing.

What kind of degenerate bets on horse racing? Errr, wait...

Yeah. No need to go over to the Ill side unless someone's geting married.

The Woodlands, the local dog and horse tracks, closed last year. Run out of bidness by the casinos. They tried to get slot machines but the backassward state of Kansas wanted to tax them into oblivion, so they said fuck it. Turned the lights out on some really nice facilities that were less than 20 years old.

Shame too, I used to like to go out there occasionally and wager on the simulcast races from all over, especially during the Breeders Cup.

That's fukken sad. I remember the year it opened. It was a pretty nice draw on weekends. (fill in KC nightlife joke here)

I was up there betting the hounds the day i turned 18. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeere comes Woody

[War Wagon]

Yeah, when it first opened in 1989 they'd pack 10,000 + people in there on the week-ends and easily eclipse $1 million in handle per session. Hell, you used to have to pay an admission fee. That lasted until 1993 when the casinos first opened. Frankly, it's amazing they held out as long as they did.

You remember that greyhound called Mr. T-Bone? That dog made me a lot of money, wheeling him on top in trifecta's and superfecta's.
