Anybody else take it over the past couple days? I just finished it. I have no idea how well I did - they get manually scored for partial and/or misspelled answers. I'm guessing somewhere between 25 - 30 out of the 50 questions. There were probably 10 that I left blank because I just had no idea. It was fun, but don't look for me to be on the show anytime soon...

This is crazy to me.

Horton-Tucker is 23th
Haliburton (!!!!) is 30th (!!!)
Shayok is 77th.

Hi and welcome to another edition of On That Note. CF's weekly post on music topics, hosted alternately by myself, @MeanDean and @cyclones500 .

For this week's topic we are looking bands that either has 3 letters in its name or is commonly abbreviated with 3 letters.

This topic could lead to a lot of 3 word groups that get put in so I'm putting this rule clarification out there.

To clarify a "... 3-letter abbreviation of a group's name is allowed, but only if it's used commonly or interchangeably with the full version."

Also if part of the 3 is a number that's fine. Basically what we are looking for is a title with 3 characters.

For this topic we aren't looking for 3 letter groups that have The before I.E. a group Like THE WHO. There is plenty of stuff out there for this topic.

Try to limit yourself to 2 songs from a particular group. It's OK to use a band already posted, but try not to post a song that's been used.

There was a lot of speculation after he didn’t play vs. Tech but I have it on good authority that Cam will play tomorrow vs. Baylor. Don’t know how much or little but figured I could put any speculation to rest.

Can someone explain why there is such disparity in WBB both in-conference and nationally? Is it just that there are not enough talent girls in high school, that has to be it? I mean even Texas is fading. K-State's working at it, but gosh. Ku hasn't been good for decades.

ISU played their collective butts off, but for me, it seemed the game outcome was never in question. BU has two trees in the middle that the Cyclones just couldn't get around.

I 80 west of Avoca is ready to have the W Nishnabotna go over the road. Pay attention and slow down and be ready for detours.

Both games were very close (and losses), but I like our chances. Baylor beat us by effort, and effort can be matched. Need to work on defense and rebounding all week.

If anyone wants 3 tickets for tonight's game, just PM me. I got all session and am not coming down until tomorrow. They aren't great seats, but hey, they're free. You need to have the AXS app for me to send them to you.

Is tip off time exactly 11:30? I land at MCI at 10:30. Any chance I can make it in time for tip? Including a stop at the hotel just down the street (only leaving bags at bell hop not checking in)

At my place of employment, there is one unisex bathroom. Not the biggest bathroom but gets the job done. They recently moved the hand towels to over the crapper. So now every time I go in I don't know if there's dribbles of piss all over the seat or drops of water off someone's hands. Being a male this problem is primarily only exacerbated one time a day in the morning when I go in to drop my Caseys coffee deuce. However, I'm a put the seat up when pissing guy and put it back down since I work with many females. Thus, I have entered and left the bathroom on multiple occasions with the seat being wet to a female co worker walking in because I refuse to wipe up someone else's either hand dribble or piss. I need wisdom. TIA

anyone know what the official ISU team hotel is this week?

I see the pep rallies and watch parties listed on the isu alum site, https://www.isualum.org/s/565/17/interior.aspx?sid=565&gid=1&pgid=2442

Giants trade OBJ to Cleveland for the #17 overall pick and a 3rd rounder in this year's draft plus Jabrill Peppers.

As a NYG fan, I'll take this deal every day of the week.

USA Today put out the list of NCAA basketball coaching salaries. Keep this in mind when expecting top 20 results, from a coach that is paid near the bottom for power conference teams.

Can't see chalk in this one.

K-State - beat in opener if without Stokes and Wade
TxT - have to get by Ku stigma, Ku crowd, and Adidas athletes
Ku - my favorite - see TxT
Baylor - athletes but without Mason, I don't see it
ISU - too damn much drama
Texas - not so smart doesn't get by Ku
OU - my dark horse if not for four games
TCU - short bench
oSu - likable
WVU - properly seeded

Almost time for the Big 12 Tournament! Send in your questions now or forever hold your peace.

I was trying to get tickets for me and my friends when I realized that I don’t actually understand sessions. Is session 1 Wednesday, session 2 for Thursday and so on? Do I just buy for individual games? Any help would be appreciated. It’s our first time going.

This is great. Absolutely love his passion.

I stumbled upon this video on YouTube and it was like Chris Williams was speaking directly to me. I’m a huge country fan but am on Chris’ bandwagon and HATE “douche country” (AKA bro country, tailgate country, pop country, stadium country, etc.). This video kind of explains what’s wrong with most of today’s country songs and is a super interesting watch if you're a music nerd like me .

What a valiant effort by the ladies! I have to give Baylor credit, they took every push ISU had and answered back. Between their height and quickness they just wore the sisters out. They focused on Carlton and effectively shut her down. They also did a great job of guarding the perimeter. What we had was a young woman named Middleton who played her heart out.

The Bears started out strong and actually built a 12 point lead early. The way the sisters answered back said that this was going to be a wild game. Right up until the fourth quarter the sisters were neck and neck with the number one team in the country. Unfortunately, one of our patented scoring droughts...part defense and part tired legs ended the game with about seven minutes left to play. There was nothing left in the tank.

Again, any team that holds the sisters to 49 points is doing something. For the sisters, not gettin any offensive production out of Wise, Scott and shooting 20% from three will kill the Clones. We had open looks and they just didn’t fall. Two stats will jump out at you (beyond Carlton only scoring 13 points). First, and no surprise, we were out rebounded by ten. Even more startling were the assists. Five for the sisters and 17 for Baylor. Here’s another shocker. Baylor didn’t make (and only shot 3) a single three pointer. You knew they were tough inside and we just don’t have the size to battle with them there. If there is one piece missing from this fantastic team it’s a big on the inside that’s as sizable and talented as what Baylor has.

Losing to Baylor is no surprise. They have advantages no one else in the conference has and Mulkey has built a monster there. Next up is another opportunity to okay back at Hilton. There is a possibility the ladies can get a three seed. At worst a four. Let’s pack that place and cheer the ladies into the sweet 16!
