Paying players is all legal now.

Srsly, wuts not to like  :dunno:

Drew's right hand man, known across the south so he can recruit, has coached Baylor in the absence of Drew.  From what I have read the man is legit.  Would he come to lowly KSU  :dunno:

I'm sold on PoonTang.  Let's go get him.  :driving:

I'd be fine with Shane, but only after being rejected publicly by a couple of big names.

yep.  Hard not to like him.

Should be a good number of fired coaches to choose from next week and Gene will wait until April to save that half mill.  Book it

I thought Europe was in fast track to be fossil fuel independent ASAP. Is natty gas not part of that category?
They are not close. They need natural gas to heat their homes.

Looks like they are shooting for 55% reduction by 2030. I guess they will have to play ball with Putin for a while longer. Cost from US vs Russia for natural gas must be incredibly prohibitive to keep dealing with that dude.

If what I read is correct, Putin had his nuts cut off compliments of China.  Game over, done.  He WILL work with the West.   If anything he drove up the price of oil, which is good for him.  Financials should be up Tues. and petro down.

Can't say she's wrong.  China, the politburo to be more precise, pulled the plug.  Makes Xi look bad.

Used some ice throw from one of our turbines in my bourbon.  Been wanting to do that  :)

Good stuff farming cat, always enjoy learning more. I'm wondering if cover crops have the same benefits out on western KS where there isn't as much moisture. Still beneficial? Would it steal the moisture your summer crops need?

I can't think of any places around the cat ranch that grow cover crops besides planting wheat directly after a the corn is harvested (but then they still harvest the wheat).

Usually it's just a barren wasteland of corn/Milo/wheat stubble in the field.
I'm unsure if covers would be beneficial in western, KS. I would imagine that they could be and the hardcore cover croppers will tell you that they absolutely would be beneficial. However, I would imagine that profit margins are somewhat narrow out there, therefore they might not want to take the risk of planting covers. The barley mix I planted cost approximately $50/acre. Rye closer to $15/acre. Cover crops are supposed to increase the water holding capacity of the soil and if they do aid with that, there is a possible benefit. I would say there is definitely valid concern with covers stealing moisture. I know termination timing is somewhat critical for us and would probably be even more critical out west if they are looking dry before spring planting. One year we terminated the cover a couple of weeks before we wanted to plant. Ended up getting some rain and the cover basically turned into a mulch and kept the soil too wet for planting for quite some time. We now like to "plant green" into standing, fully alive cover and terminate after planting.

We've done no-till for years and cover crops for the last 6-8.  Dikon radish will open up the soil and bring up nutrients, must plant in the fall well before frost.  For us it is after corn in early Sept.  We have also used rye in the fall but prefer wheat because it doesn't get as tall if we have a wet spring and I can't terminate on time.  We've found oats to work very well and have allelopathic properties to suppress weeds.  It's def. a learning experience.

Never forget the Alamo?

It's not from the Alamo. It's from the Battle of Gonzales.

Interesting

Kenmore front loader for the last 10 years, can't kill the bastard.  Clean the discharge screen every couple years and that's it, we beat on it like a red-headed stepchild.  :gocho:

Winning basketball games is really fun. Winning Big 12 basketball games is really really fun. Winning Big 12 road games is really really rough ridin' fun.

I want oscar gone, but I also want to win every single basketball game we play.

I don't think we can have both.

I wanna sit next to oscar in a plane crash.

I don't think you can blame oscar for anything he did tonight, although for part of Baylor's run McGuirl, Luke, Massoud and Bradford were all on the floor together :Yuck: his roster construction is putrid.

Seriously???   :ROFL:

What, adjustment, other than not playing Linguard more, did he not make or got wrong?

Just flipin' crap, but I blame oscar for everything.  Just have never liked the guy.
