  1. The teams asked the league for Denver as an alternate site. They said no, because of course they did.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Meh, we’re so far from a legit 6 win team, we can’t even see it from here. It’s bad.
  6. That's what we do and it gets us the pick of neighborhood teenage kids and same day service if we need it. My kids aren't monsters, so I guess that helps.
  7. Complicated password requirements for frivolous shit websites. Best Buy makes me choose a more complicated password than USAA, ETrade, or Fidelity. They're keeping a tighter lock on $5 reward than I keep on every dollar to my name.
  8. Add me to this list. El Dorado, KS location. It actually wasn’t that disgusting.
  9. I’ve met Roger Clemens twice, and one of the times he referred to himself as The Rocket. Was probably drunk, but I don’t think he was doing it to be funny.
  10. I don't think you should go smaller than about 12k. When good, you draw more than that routinely to FEC. And when mediocre, 8k looks fine in an arena that size instead of literally looking half full like it does today. If I was a UT alum and basketball got kicked to the river so T&F/soccer could be on campus, I'd be irate. I don't think there is any way that happens, though.
  11. I've only cooked on a Primo once...was very similar, build quality very high. I think the choice is personal preference without a wrong answer.
  12. In 6-ish years of owning the BGE, I’ve wished for my L to be slightly larger exactly once. I do still have a gas grill that adds burner space when grilling for groups, though.
  13. Neighbors with my son's flag football coach. This is a couple years ago on the Chiefs bye week, he blew his achilles a few games later.
  14. I play the UT alumni golf tournament, even though I'm not an alumni...so I've met him. He's turrible but nice guy.
  15. I probably would not have checked KK, I probably would have kept betting it...depends a lot on my read of the player. Once we check the turn and are no longer the aggressor and out of position, I hate everything about the hand. So, puke fold and find another spot, even though I hate it. I'm actually fine checking AJ or 88 here and likely would unless I had a calling station to pay me off.
  16. Spend the waiver claim, I mean. He's only owned in 1 of my 4 leagues, and that's a 12 teamer with way too deep of benches.
  17. Have a drink and relax. Unless you thought KU was squeaky clean (no school recruiting top 100 kids is), the FBI’s power to subpoena against Adidas people was always going to dig up some dirt. We’re not close to banners coming down, and we’re not on the same planet as a Self succession plan, yet. The optics are terrible though, especially for people that have been naively clinging to a pure image of student-athletes.
