HA!  Never you bastard, it just makes me a little nervous that's all.  Like I've said in other posts, I've seen the "maturity" level of some of these kids and giving them a per diem along with an eleven hour road trip seems like taking a chance.  I hope I'm wrong.

    Gettin' angried up!!!
Just saw several FB players at Man Town Center with arms full of packages. Looks like their spending their $$ before they even leave town. I don't care if other schools do this, I think it's a big mistake and your just asking for trouble.
Either everything will turn out fine, or Prince will learn a very costly lesson.
I too went shopping at Manhattan Town Center this time of the year when I was a student, it is christmas time after all. I think it's pretty unfair to assume that the players are spending their travel funds on unrelated things. (Do you really think they are serious about spending gas money on hookers?) Also, the majority of these kids will be coming straight from their folks' house; I'd have to assume that the travel arrangements will be made by most of the players' parents, so if the parents feel comfortable letting them drive, so be it.  (Half the team is from Texas anyway, why drive all the way back to Manhattan, just to turn around and fly back to Texas?)  I drove to Phoenix,(twice)  San Diego, St. Louis, all the Big XII schools, etc. and never was involved in so much as a speeding ticket.

The players were still having full practices as of Thursday.  I know this because they invited area high school coaches to come up and watch said practices.

If you DON'T think that at least some of the players will blow some if not all of their per diem on a strip club somewhere between here and Houston then give me the address to the planet you live on, I'd like to visit sometime. 

I understand that you've driven yourself all around the country and I too have taken my share of "road trips"; the concern here is that there's not 1 chance of something going bad there's 50 chances of something going bad and those odds suck. 

Tell me again where you're getting your information because I don't see anyway that "half" of our team is from tx.  http://www.kstatefootball.com/players/index2006.shtml if that's your argument then you're going to have to find a different one because it simply isn't true.
Wasn't trying to be literal about the "half of the players," I just meant it makes no sense to have everyone's (already short) vacation time used up traveling too and from Manhattan.  Since so many other teams around the country travel this way, I see no reason why Prince should be vilified for a commen practice.  Also, it';s real hard to take someone who quotes the great Keanu Reeves seriously.  What, could you not find a Judge Reinhold quote that was related to football?

    You can't be racist and like basketball.
It's a Christmas miracle!

Josh Freeman didn't die on his trip to Houston!

Just another example of how Prince is a total clown.  He's got no responsibility, zero level of accountability and almost scores a negative when it comes to level of character.  I can't believe he's tolerated by K-Staters.

for it to be a RE-birth, doesn't that imply that there was an original birth?  When was that?  I don't remember KSU ever being a national power.

During those years when Nebraska sucked (late 90's, early 00's), Mondo.  You may have selective amnesia for those years as they were quite painful.

It's okay, everyone forgets from time to time.

Cheers!

Not surprising.  You were stuck on the personal image part of your profile, going crazy.  I can see how things stump you.  I guess that's why you look to Kermit the Frog as an icon?
