  1. You should have got a live chicken.
  2. Congrats on saving at least a little chance of ever getting laid again. I think of a joke that good, I probably can’t hold it in, regardless of consequences.
  3. TJ Ford, and it’s not close. You think that dude was fast on TV... In a “real” game. Maurice Evans in high school...we played Wichita Collegiate my senior year. I held him to 30 or so, I think.
  4. Two reasons, that are me reading between the lines and guessing vs knowing anything... 1) We don’t know when KU declared him ineligible. He was (until recently it appears) being held out as a precaution, which Self has done before. 2) The statement has a tacit admission in it that money changed hands. I don’t think KU pushes it if that’s more than the alleged $2500 for online classes, and I don’t think this statement sees the light of day without KU’s approval. Regardless, the NCAA would have to officially rule that the games he’s missed are enough given the violation.
  5. That's Jhawk, I've generally been pretty consistent that I think we're the favorite...even though I actually think Tech is slightly better. Or to be more of a douche about it, we're a blue blood bitches, and we're coming for our trophy.
  6. Pay no attention to Fantana's butthurt overreaction. I was just making a joke about the two posters who were active on this thread the last 4 minutes of the game both arriving at a Fuck KU conclusion, because I thought it was funny.
  7. My favorite part of this thread was all the reverse jinxing , arguing, bullshitting...then you realize KU just got the inside track to #15 and it brings everybody together again. Heartwarming, really. Great win by ISU. Tech is legit...they won’t lose many in that building.
  8. In Lawrence, that place is called Burrito King, and even though I’ve never tasted it before the bars close, I still miss it every damn day. I actually thought breakfast taco vs burrito was regional. I’d never heard the taco version before I moved to Texas, and I haven’t heard the burrito version since except at non Texas mega fast food chains.
  9. That's all by design so people will take the hint that self check isn't for full carts.
  10. You have to have a matching wristband to get a kid out of a Chuck E Cheese. I mean, I've heard.
  11. KU always goes about it backwards, because Self is conservative about such things. He could be playing De Sousa (and Preston last year) in the same way Arizona played Ayton, but he just doesn’t do it that way. If KU is asking for reinstatement, I’d guess it’s most likely that they believe he’s ineligible due to some evidence of the $2500 but don’t have evidence of anything beyond that...so they’re arguing he’s served his time. Retroactively vacating games if the school cooperates and (appears that they) didn’t know is usually not what they do. I doubt KU would even be engaging the NCAA on this if they thought that was a possible outcome OR if there was evidence of a large UA/Adidas payment. Much of this is murky tea-leaf reading, since nobody comments publicly on the details of these things.
  12. If KU found evidence (or the guardian admitted) the $2500, KU would self report to the NCAA which would require reinstatement. The NCAA’s guidance for such a violation is 30% of games, hence the request for immediate reinstatement. If they found evidence of higher rumored payments, which would admittedly be hard to find since it was Under Armor, they’d keep “gathering information” until De Sousa got Billy Prestoned.
  13. In his defense, you don’t reallly game plan for a 13% shooter to hit 3 in a row.
  14. I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this before, but I feel the same way about password strength in general. Pluckers and Best Buy require stronger passwords than ETrade, Fidelity, or USAA...which means free apps and $10 reward cards are harder to hack (and remember) than every dollar to my name.
  15. I’m playing the Choctaw this year. Looking forward to getting it in bad against Sooner and watching the magic happen.
  16. Potato Oles are the best fast food side of all time. If you think of Taco John’s as Mexican food, you’ll think “I don’t go to BBQ joints for the salad” but if you go for the Oles...just lay back and let them wash over you.
  17. 4 on the road is 13-5. That gets a share. It’s why holding serve at home is so damn important.
  18. If there is batter, you’re doing wings all wrong...even at the garbage places.
  19. Start gearing up to take Texas at home on Saturday. They’ll be a slight dog (2 or 3j, but win outright. Great spot.
  20. Yeah, it’s bad. And that includes Vick’s blistering hot start. It’s pretty much the worst case scenario for most likely weakness of this team.
