  1. I will never understand how NFL teams aren’t just in safe defense on every chip shot FG.
  2. Rumor that he closes bitches. Very, very, very hard. Don’t know if there is anything substantial there.
  3. OU opens -7.5 and the football board is freaking out. I make the game OU -5 and am pretty surprised I missed by so much and through a key number. Stinky line is stinky.
  4. I debated on if this was a trivial thing that makes me surly or an unpopular opinion... Driving back from BFE Kansas from our holiday visit and I’m all the way past Waco with no trouble. Shockinly, we hit a huge I35 backup...finally pass the culprit and it’s an 02 Cavalier rear ended into 98 Camry into a 03 Caravan (approximately). The damage indicates that it’s not serious, they were obviously in slow and go traffic and somebody was fucking around on their phone. If you’re gonna cost me an hour on the tail end of getting home, I need something more satisfying than $1200 worth of damage across 3 piece of shit cars. Somebody needs to be hurt bad, preferable with a death to whoever was at fault.
  5. Heard a rumor from a guy that would know that Littrell has his sights set on a bigger job than Tech.

    LSU @ aggy

    So are the dead dogs, as I understand it.
  7. I've got KU under 3 wins at the limit on 3 different tickets. A win today does nothing positive for the program, though it does extend my "been a long time since you won in Lawrence" joke that I've worn out for two years now with my UT buddies. In a completely meaningless game for KU, we're going to measure my fandom in dollars today. I have never watched a KU game where I wasn't actively rooting for them but today might be the first time.
  8. I'm gonna grab Tenn +3 1/2 tonight. Kansas has struggled against experience, they've just been talented enough to overcome...that's not the case tonight.
  9. You’re gonna give Sooner an aneurysm.
  10. They ultimately want to be inside out on offense and use athleticism on defense to run teams off the arc and scramble/cause turnovers. They haven’t really figured either out yet, but it’s a long season.

    You’re gonna have to find that dude that used to sell them by the dozen at C Hunts. Last time I saw him, he was at The Local Outpost.
  12. I'm up there now for the holidays, and the weather is actually awesome. Yesterday I was pissed I didn't bring my golf clubs, mid 50s, sunny, without a breath of wind. Austin was frigid the last couple days before we left, by comparison. It's bullshit we aren't allowing Bevo on the field.
  13. I think this is the right take. But recruiting didn’t really uptick much even when Mangino was winning. There are a lot of schools between Lawrence and where you have to go to find players.
  14. Yeah, Brio went from solidly above average to dogshit in, near as I can tell, about 48 hours.
  15. I honestly only eat turkey on Thanksgiving and even at times on Easter and Christmas. So max 3 times a year. I agree that it sucks but I'll be deep frying a few of them for next Thursday. I eat it on Thanksgiving only. I've turned Christmas Day and Easter into smoked chicken, ribs, and sausage and nobody complains because my family aren't idiots.
  16. You have not heard of David Booth apparently Pickens is the rough equivalent of Cliff Illig for KU. Who’s 1/5 as rich as David Booth and 1/10 as rich as Phil Anschutz. If and when KU money gets serious about football, they ain’t getting out spent by Boone fucking Pickens.
  17. The teams asked the league for Denver as an alternate site. They said no, because of course they did.
  18. They don't really want to find the real conclusion to this, if the recruiting game is as dirty as these indictments make it seem. The current most damning piece of evidence is on a Kansas assistant finding out what Zion Williamson was asking for...which would make an EASY public punishment, except he's currently at Duke. Add in Kentucky's recruiting success and Calipari's history and it's relatively hard to make an example out of anybody when the 3 schools doing most of the heavy lifting on attracting casual fan eyeballs would be the most likely tip of the spear. There will be some "shoe companies are too involved, we're cleaning this up starting now" nonsense from the NCAA, and it's back to business as usual.
  19. You dudes that talk to your wives on the phone so much...how long have you been married? I’m coming up on 15 years and can’t remember the last time I talked to her on the phone.
  20. We paid Gill and Weis pretty competitively, they were just bad hires. If somebody got to Mangino level success (not necessarily the Orange Bowl season but competitive and entertaining), everything works out. KU isn’t different than anywhere else, nobody goes to watch 2-10 teams play in shithole stadiums, and we’re running on 10 years of it.
