He is marking jurors so that they can be sniffed out and confronted in the wild.
It's enough to make a sports infrastructure nerd cry
Years upon years of opportunity to do this project at 1/3 the price.
Then tearing down an historic structure to build a value engineered MLS'ified stadium that is not in keeping architecturally with anything on their campus . . . it's just a tragedy.
I'm also hearing rumblings that the general rake of the stands will be more fitting for futbol viewership and not American Football viewership. Apparently Cliff wants to see that Lawrentucky hosts some WC practices.
One that seems to be going in the opposite direction of the norm: Starbucks.
They incentivize you to use their app via free crap every so often, birthday drinks, etc. The app used to ask you, after every purchase, how much you would like to tip. They took that function away a year or so ago. So now, you pay with the app, but if you don't have cash(lol, what's that) their employees get no tip. Kinda wild.
I assume they found some legal reason to stop doing this and just took the option away before they got sued, but who knows. Given the tip environment everywhere else, this one is a head scratcher.
when you are checking out on the starbucks app it has the total at the bottom and then a little button that says "wanna leave a tip?" but you do not have to engage with that button in order to complete your order.
I get my hair cut at a local salon called Great Clips, where you can buy a card that pre-buys X number of haircuts so when you're done you just swipe the card and that's it for the transaction. The problem is that it makes tipping impossible unless you have cash cause they cannot separately charge your credit card for just a tip.
I actually find that awkward cause I know those people cannot be making much money at all if they're not getting tips. Because you see, even though you might think the highest priority at Great Clips is a great haircut, they are also very focused on making the experience affordable with a great price.
Both of you get ready to donate your asses off then!I thought Mexico was paying for it?

NGL it looks weird, not bad just weird
...carry on with the revenue discussion.

This is getting more difficult but I'm still willing to take on this fixer upper (also that obviously cropped bottom of the frame )

I've never heard of EADA. That's a pretty nifty site.
The actual football and basketball related revenues are pretty even between KU and KSU. But KU appears to be kicking our asses in making money on other sports. KSU made a total of $724,806 in sports other than FB and BB, while KU made $7,309,243.
The anomaly with KU is $133,367,608 for revenue not allocated to any sport. I have no idea what that is but it dwarfs the same line item for Texas ($37,043,295) which is almost the exact same as KSU's ($37,867,002).
Can you really call money for a FB stadium not allocated to a sport?
I wish we could have rotating nonconference games. I hate that our main rival is OOC.
Wait, they aren't tearing down the east side? Do the phog squawks know this because that sure isn't the impression I've got from their stadium thread.
Yes, anyone following this closely knows that the east side isn't part of Phase 1, which also helps explain why capacity can't be stated with precision until they get the funds to tear down and rebuild the east side. Phase 1 is a bunch of crap in Anderson you can't see, and then obviously what you see is missing, here: https://kugatewaydistrict.com/live-cameras/ (Pay heed: beware of the Fog).
I knew construction was in phases but was unaware funding had not been secured for the full stadium
Unfortunately, we invested it all in DJT while it was just sitting there idle ...
I did read we can borrow like $250MM from the endowment, or something like that. Don't know the specifics on that, and living far away, really don't care. That said, I would agree from Phogistan's reactions that communication about the whole project appears to be frustrating to donors and casual fans alike.
Not gE and not being all 'tater but if we pulled this crap I'd be very confused and concerned. This almost feels Royals-esque but like they don't need the public to weigh in on it. Just seems very unclear what is going on and what is to be expected and no real transparency to speak of. I'm sure they'll pull it off just feels very iffy.
the bidding process will be hilarious
ahead of ku which is incredibly hard to believe

It's against some pretty bad teams but 7-4 and a 5 game winning streak is pretty nice. Win the series tomorrow and the next two series are very winnable against a meh Mets team and awful and previously super swept White Sox. If they are 12-7 or better by the next time they play the Orioles it'll be a nice start to the season
John Douglas' books mindhunter (series is based off of) and BTK are great.
There's another called cases that haunt us that isn't as good.
Douglas profile of BTK led them to come up with the idea to put the lead detective front and center and make him look like a "super cop" that was assigned to catch a "super killer" IE BTK because JD hypothesized that this would be irresistible for BTK and that BTK would engage with this "super detective" because BTK thought he was so much smarter than everyone else.
And it worked like a charm.
The Sign
I'd be surprised if that one ends up happening. They are going to have all sorts of scheduling issues once they join a conference.
