I just ran across this uncompleted work by LZ. It was included on the Presence-Deluxe Edition. I think this is a great tune and really, really wish it would have been completed. Those dudes had talent coming out of their ears.

This is an alternate method to purchase Final Four tickets. You essentially bank on your team making it, and if they do, you get those tickets at a discounted price.

I have not purchased but I did find it interesting.

This also could be a Billy McFarland scam too.. Still makes it interesting.

OSU has won 4 of 5 vs KU in Stillwater and still have a mediocre turnout.

What is your favorite phone app?

Seems a lot of people have differing expectations, moving expectations, and differing goals for this team...which is all legit.

But as of today what are your thoughts for the last 4 conference games?

1. What are your expectations? (Mine 3-1)
2. What would be a disappointment? (Mine 1-3)

This is a concept, an alliance, that I've long favored. With the P12 being so weak, perhaps now's the time it will gain favor? It potentially would solve some scheduling and TV issues. Luring ASU and Arizona to the B12 is also noteworthy.

“This alliance of 22 universities from the Great Plains to the West Coast would provide the vital content of big-time football games that dovetail nicely with the new developing platforms of information.”

Wefald’s proposal calls for all 30 of the Big 12’s non-conference games and for 30 of the Pac-12’s 36 out-of-league games to be played against each other.

The matchups would be spread evenly across the season (10 per month) with the winners of each conference meeting at the end of the regular season for a championship game, which would rotate between the Rose Bowl and AT&T Stadium.

Gee called the proposal “brilliant,’’ according to Wefald, but declined to comment.

So that was kinda CLOSE!

First win at Carver since 2010.

Would like a rally towel (for man cave) from last monday night's Oklahoma basketball game given out in the student section.

Our picks are in!

More of a data dump or sharing of information than anything else because I'm not ready to tie out most of these numbers to plausible theories that my eyes have seen.

Looks like another Baylor player is linked to Sexual Assault charges.

Definitely worth the read.

Couldn't figure out how to add a Twitter link from my phone but they are saying he violated some terms of his eligibility. I'm guessing he failed a drug or alcohol test
See if this works.

Thought it was interesting that ESPN currently tabs THT as the No. 24 pick in its 2019 mock draft. Still really early but he's getting attention. Lindell not listed.

Considering a roadtrip to Morgantown next week. Anybody know which hotel the team stays at? Or a decent place not too far from the Coliseum? (unless it's a shady area)

This little tidbit on Matt Kuchar has sparked some debate on social media:

https://www.golf.com/news/2019/02/14/matt-kuchar-caddie-pay-controversy/

Basically, Kuchar doesn't take his regular caddie to a tournament in Mexico and picks up a local caddie. He agrees to pay him between $2,000 - $4,000, depending on how he does in the tournament. Kuchar winds up winning and pocketing 1.3 million dollars. He pays the caddie $5,000, which was their agreement plus a $1,000 bonus, but on the tour it is customary to pay your caddie up to 10% for a win, which in this case would have been $130,000.00. Apparently the caddie is not too thrilled about the pay now.

I see it both ways. On one hand, a deal is a deal. On the other hand, if you regularly pay your caddie a significant sum more for a win, that would seem to suggest you are acknowledging the caddie's role in you playing well. You'd think you could probably float the guy a little more cash, especially when you just raked in 1.3 million dollars.

Also, for Kuchar's public persona being that of the "nice guy" he sure does kind of come off as a **** in this article...

We've added another new feature on a schools profile page to show the history of how a school has performed in the NCAA Championships.

This new tab will show the breakdown of the qualifiers/placements, for each weight in a season. Oh, and each one of those values is a link to the wrestlers profile that earned that placement.

Gives a great high-level view of how a school has performed in the past.

Just go to a schools profile page, then click the "Nationals History" tab, BOOM!

Here are some examples to check out:

be concerned that there are three people in the Story County klink for murder in the 1st degree within the last week? WTF is going on?

Looks like he inserted his bench for bad play from the starters.

I guess maybe their lost season is not just because they're not Iowa State?
