This will be disappointing. I'm drunk and tired. No pics or videos.
Here's what I remember in roughly chronological order.
John Currie is either really weird-shaped or can't get his suit tailored right. Remember that really tall/thin pic that came out when he first got hired and he's in the suit w/orange UT tie? I thought that was just a bad or altered pic. Nope, that's how he is in real life. Get this guy a proper-fitting suit.
They sold plastic cups for $10 and then it was all-you-can-drink. The cups are seemingly clear-ish plastic like every bar has but when they've recently had been in them, they turn purple.
Crowd there made me feel like I was in a real-life version of GPC. Guess I was. Couple of things overheard early on at my table from random 'tards:
See we had no athletic director and no president, so we couldn't get a big-name coach at the time, so Snyder decided to come back to help out.
I was reading about this Martin. He's got an interesting background. From Havana or Cuba or something.
J-Mart arrived and I got to talk to Frank a little. He says Huggs swears there was nothing to the Huggins black eyes other than walking into the bathroom door.
Talked to Snyder who was surprisingly funny. Pretended (I think) to not know who J-Mart was for a while. Then feigned shock when he learned J-Mart goes to the same gym as I in that he couldn't believe J-Mart works out. I mentioned J-Mart should do a PUP test but I don't think OB heard it. Then Snyder gushed on both of us for doing Big Brothers program.
Nobody shied away from buyout or Wefald/Krause suck talk. Catbacker guy Floyd told everyone to suck in the fresh air.
Schulz and Currie said the usual stuff.
Deb gets up there and says "about time we got some beauty up here." She then goes into a really really really long story about her dream where she's in heaven or about to get in heaven and she takes Frank with her but Frank snubs Schulz, Currie and Snyder and then decides he'll go to hell but finds a Jayhawk Satan there and Frank doesn't want to be in that hell and then a muscular Snyder in a superman costume rescues Frank and flies him to heaven.
(Note: Deb did not explain why Jesus let her in heaven, you know, with the gay and all). Just imagine the above story taking 40 minutes to tell. While she was telling it, I went to get my 14th beer and the beer dude sees my nametag and says "Trim, can you get her to shut up." I then walk by Frank and say "I like Scott City a lot better. They wouldn't have let her ass in." There was no disagreement.
Frank talked. He didn't notice J-Mart had left to go interview Currie so he kept referencing him and pointing at the empty seat next to me without realizing there was no J-Mart there. Caused all the people around my table to keep looking at me wondering who the &@#% I was.
Snyder talked about Kansas Sports Hall of Fame and other non-football stuff. Referenced J-Mart and I as "2 young men he's spoken to earlier" in regards to mentoring. Somehow talked for about 30 minutes not about football.
I'd forgotten how boring this thing was last time I was there until RP started roasting J-Mart. Tonight sucked. I think I'd like to either do stand-up in front of this same crowd because they laughed at anything or I'd like to start a rival KATPAK'R club in Wichita. I'll try to do another report soon on something more interesting, maybe on a nap I take this weekend.
