    Do you think Self made his payments to the Refs yet?

    Paul Janssen allowing a basket IN BETWEEN two free throws is enough for me. Let alone Sam Hill "traveling" and last year's Tom O'Neill screw job. I don't need many more examples to call crooked, crooked.

    Do you think Self made his payments to the Refs yet?

    Gtown, have you ever actually watched a KU basketball game? It's often like watching five Aaron Crafts all wearing blue. The bad calls go back decades. It can't be an accident, there are too many examples.

    Golf Beginner

    The first and really the only thing I would suggest is to make sure you learn how to grip the club correctly. A solid neutral grip on the club is the foundation of the whole golf swing. One can spend their entire golfing life trying to overcome an incorrect grip.

    *****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

    I hope that the respect that Boren seems have for Chuck Neinas is universal amongst the other presidents and ADs. I also hope that this respect translates into more cohesive communications regarding conference matters. Basically, Deloss Dodds, David Boren, Deaton and everyone else that is not...

    If you want to watch the OU Presser....

    "working with partners on their own institutional network" "we will probably be the next institution with our own network" pretty clear there is NOT going to be a Big 12 network. I wonder what OU will ***** out for? $6 mil, $8mill?

    charcoal grill advice

    I have a Big Steel Keg like Bigsag and I love it. About half the cost of a similarly equipped BGE. Grills like a champ and is a very effective smoker as well. I did six pork butts on it last year for our Utah tailgate and they turned out great. The grill is really efficient in its charcoal...

    LED/LCD TV's

    LOVE LOVE LOVE my Samsung 46 inch LCD. Would buy another in an instant. LN46B650 is the model. I did add a Polk Audio sound bar which did help the sound a bunch. I don't think there is a flat screen out there with a good built in speaker setup.

    Let's all watch this erection together!

    67,000 pounds is what I seems to remember, but I assume that is after everything is attached. 50,000+ as is, I would guess. Awkward, not heavy. 67,000 pounds turns out to be the weight of the scoreboard and sound system. Support truss is 357,000 pounds. Reminds me of a quote, "Samsonite...

    Greater than 5' 6". I don't hit my head on the door of ours and I am that height. Best guess is about 6'.

    Groomsmen Gifts

    I got my groomsmen/ushers aluminum tables in a bag (similar to tailgate chairs). They all are tailgaters and all of those tables are still in use. They might not be personalized or whatever, but they all appreciated them. I think they were about $30 apiece.

    RAG man Peterson: Slams ISU on Attendance

    If found this story after a brief search. Iowa Sate is not listed. Interesting read. Birmingham News survey shows college football season ticket sales down across country | al.com I couldn't find ISU's 2010 season ticket sales, but assume it is less than our record of just over 27,000 in '06.
