    Kansas men's basketball charged with multiple Level 1 allegations, including lack of institutional c

    You know, quite a few of your posts are along the lines of "they do it so we need to too". Is that what KU is all about; to be as bad/dirty as the other bad/dirty programs out there? Is there some fraternity of Georgia Tech, Lousville, KU, etc. that a 'tip of the cap' reveres or references...

    New Shirt! Kansas vs FBI

    Yeah, I can see that. However, we're over that.

    Aaron Calvin Speaks

    I don't think that Calvin needed to lose his job or be threatened for doing his job. Distasteful, but not fire worthy. However, I think that Calvin's article did shine the lite on him which led to people finding his twitter posts. I do believe that his twitter past was a firable offense. IE...

    Aaron Calvin Speaks

    Totally disagree. I have heard a ton of liberal people rebuke Calvin for this. Not a Right wing thing at all.

    Aaron Calvin Speaks

    Do you get the hypocrosy that Calvin exudes at all? He used 2 tweets from 8 years ago as a compass on Carson and totally ignored more recent posts that supports ending racism. Granted, it was the editors call to include them, but I suspect he was fully in the conversation. All the while...

    Aaron Calvin Speaks

    Then you need to look deeper, if you can find them. First, Calvin's were worse than what was implied for Carson. See here for a synopsis: https://heavy.com/news/2019/09/aaron-calvin/ Second, there were more of them over a much longer period of time and as recent as 2016 (as far as I can...

    Time to cut out our Busch Light love affair

    How about the later tweets where he shows he is not a racist. Shouldn't that have been part of their article? If this was all they really had, let him delete the old tweets and move on. Also, who called AB to get their take? I am assuming the DMR. They really were wound up on their high...

    Iowa State and Iowa issue joint statement on marching bands

    JP is a much better man than me in helping barta save face. I would have thrown uofi under the bus and not thought twice about it. I would still like to know what the accusation was that garnered such a snowflake response from the head of the uofi athletic department.

    Jamie Pollard vows to look into allegations of fan misconduct at Saturday's Cy-Hawk game

    New level of helicoptering... That is actually my guess. Some rich parent who's kid in in the band got upset with what their kids witnessed and called Barta. Instead of being level headed and reasonable, Barta unleashes a press release to appease said parent. I've seen Middle School...

    Can you pause a game and jump ahead 30 seconds between plays?

    DirecTV and ESPN

    Why not? I have yet to have anyone explain to me how I can utilize a dual tuner and, essentially, watch 2 (or even three if recording) FB games at once on a streaming service. Plus, I am not convinced that, at 25mps, my family can watch multiple programs in different rooms at the same time.

    Leave it to California

    Apparently, the NCAA lobbied against this and has threatened that this could eliminate the CA schools from post-season play.

    IHSAA Memo to Parents on Behavior

    It also seems more important the first time through. Having a daughter that went through 18U, it is much easier to see how unimportant any individual game or any specific play is. Just keep getting better every day, work hard, and have fun. I am much more interested in the life lessons...

    IHSAA Memo to Parents on Behavior

    I've been to a lot of travel Softball games. Usually I'm the scorekeeper and can strike up a conversation with the home plate umpire. I asked one umpire what was the worst level to umpire (as far as parents go) - without hesitation: 12U - C (C being the lowest level of that age group). We...

    You don't really have to slow down; a round-a-bout at 40 mph is a chicane. :)

    Helicopter Parenting

    Personally, I mentored from afar. Told/encouraged my kids to get to know their adviser, join a couple clubs on campus, get good grades (it will matter), and look for an internship. He was in a similar major as mine was and it was fun to catch up every few weeks and hear how it was going. My...
