Boat/ lake people. I mean, what the eff is up with these losers? (No offense lake and boat people)
((Not that any of them would be offended, but just in case))
Gonna win 'em all!
We have a KU Football thread?!
You need to go read up on the poster color/belt system. This thread is "brown" bait

I hope it's a Christmas album
Regardless of what "side" you were were during this ordeal, we can undoubtedly ALL agree that the KSU Athletic Department looks giant a bunch of enormously incompetent assholes as a result. There are no winners, except for the player who does indeed get her full release, and that coach who left who will probably land Leti now. Go Cats!
Would argue that the University side is where the incompetency resides. Their committee denied the appeal despite a recommendation from the AthDept that she be released. They then refused any attempts by AthDept to override that ruling. They allowed confidential letters to leak. They put out a pissing-contest statement about how they are bigger than Athletics and their word is final. And throughout, they displayed a sad amount of public and private ignorance of how the world was viewing their actions.
Mistakes AthDept made were not doing a better job of publicly commenting on the reasons for the initial delay, and the Compliance Dept making a clerical error by misreading a name on a list. I understand the silence being based on a very real concern over student privacy, especially when dealing with a student who proves litigious. But the "cone of silence" approach, whether by Currie's advising or not, only served to allow Romero and her coaches to be the only people talking.
But the whole thing could have been resolved long ago without the University side stubbornly resisting any common sense exceptions to "policy", and in so doing, make K-State as a whole look like idiots.
I ate horse meat in Spain once. HORSE MEAT!
1. College is expensive and student loans suck. So avoid taking out loans for an undergrad education (work a part time job) and try to have a pretty good idea of what career you want by your sophomore year.
2. If you're not going to grad school, make sure you're getting a degree in something useful that will actually land you a good paying job.
3. Work to live. Don't live to work. It's ok to work a boring job as long as you make a lot of money doing it. Money doesn't buy happiness per se, but sure makes it easier.
4. Invest a lot, and early.
5. Travel a lot. Study abroad in college and do it in a foreign language country and don't waste all your time there hanging out with your American friends.
6. Don't buy a new car.
7. Don't build or buy a new house unless it's the dream home you plan to die in. The depreciation is even worse than buying a new car.
8. Don't buy lots of stupid crap or develop expensive habits like drinking, smoking, drugs, golf, etc.
9. Get married, and choose someone who's better than you (preferably wealthier too, but at least a better person).
10. Don't listen to all the dumbshit advice about using CCs to rack up points or cash back. You'll end up spending and wasting a lot more money than those points are worth. One major exception to this rule is if you travel for work and are being reimbursed - then use your CCs as much as possible to rack up those points.

I sure hope Randy continues to get support from his loving fans and can keep out of trouble.
oh man, go get 'em, RT!!! I hope he plays in a nearby California casino soon.
I don't see any California performances on his upcoming tour schedule, but he will be at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas on December 13 and 14. Is that close enough?
You know what? It might be!
Oh, that's great! Have fun, michigancat. I just wish that I could go, but the ol wife is saying Vegas just isn't on the BUDGET. Give me a break. Good grief. I just hope Randy can at least keep his act together for me to see him again.
Randy laughs in the face of death and doubt.
Just hope he's able to keep doing awesome crap like this without dying in the near future.
If he makes it to the end of this year I might put him on my 2013 Celebrity Death List.
