Point of order: is it acceptable if I have a 66 but he was like upended so he was upside down when the photo was taken. Can that be used as a 99?

Absolutely

With all this talk about PE money trying to get into college athletics I think its safe to say KU is going to hop on that train with zero regard to long term costs.

Does KU athletics own the rules of basketball or is owned by some other entity? Would hate to see them have to auction off the rules here in 10 years when PE turns the screws to recoup their investment.

Looks like we are playing Arizona on Friday the 13th, big boi fox.

Utah @ UCF is the only other Big12 game on Big boi fox Friday. The rest is all big 10 games.

I think we have our best WR group since Lockett.

2016 had Byron Pringle and Deonte Burton and they both played in the NFL.  That's probably the last WR group we had that was definitively better than this one.

I'm surprised Pringle is still in the league since he was 26 when he got drafted. Just looked him up and it looks like he played in all 17 games for Washington last year with 14 receptions for 161 yards.

Also Regina is a territorial capital and has like 250k people which is about 5x what this random ass town Tobias is in has. Without cheating no one will ever get it.

I think we go 11-1, win the CCG, get a bye, win that game, lose semis to UGA or w/e by 2+ TDs. We use that as motivation for our year next year when Avery wins Heisman and we go 16-0

If that happens I want the KATZ to go all in in NIL etc for the chance that the second part. I'm talking use the next 3 or 4 years of NIL funds to get giddens back for another year and sign all the impact portal players. Could we outbid Texas or OSU every year? Absolutely not, but for one year maybe.

It's highly unlikely that we will have QB as talented as Avery in the future so I say YOLO it while we have our golden haired purple hearted football Jesus slinging the pigskin for good ole KSU.

I cheated and used Google lens, its not even in the US and now I'm wondering WTF Tobias is doing there.

I was going to guess the Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD until I saw this post.

Hint, it's our northern neighbor and a 50k ish town that I have never heard of.

Guys, I think we go undefeated then lose the Big 12 Championship to a dark horse Big 12 team, then lose our first game in the CFB playoffs. Eerily similar to 1998.

I hate to be a Debbie downer, but I don’t think the Big 12 will be a lock to get a 1 loss conference CCG loser into the playoff.

TCU was a literal lock before we beat their ass in the Dr pepper and that with the 4 game playoff.

A 12-1 Big12 team with their only loss being in the Dr pepper will be in the 12 team playoff.

I have an Xbox 1? (Maybe, bought in 2014) That I rarely play anymore and I am seriously considering upgrading to a newer Xbox just so I can buy this game and relive the glory days.

What is the difference between an Xbox X or S series?

I saw something about it on Twitter earlier but the name didn't click. I just thought it was some random politician not the former ISU player who refused to fly in planes.

We live in interesting times.

I cut down 1.5 dead trees in the windbreak and hauled them all back to the house using this cute little cart.

The key is to cut up all the wood in the morning when it's cooler then you can just drink beer and chill and stack up/move all the wood wearing more comfortable clothes in the afternoon.

Is this something the kids are doing these days?

We just can't shake branding ourselves like the Dallas Cowboys.

I've never seen this in the wild and it was sent to my from a buddy who lives in Dallas so its starting to make sense now.

If KU makes the CFP and gets to host a game where would they play it? Chiefs have a home game the same day as the first round of the CFP.

Sporting? Do we let them borrow BSFS while we enjoy our bye?

I could care less about what butker thinks regarding women/etc as long as he keeps kicking the ball through the uprights. He's a kook and always has been but he does his random job well.

If you ask a random NFL fan to name 10 players on the chefs I doubt his name would come up even though he has been here for all 3 Superbowls and is really good at his job.

If that was Mahomes or Kelce saying it then yeah, maybe I would care.

One of our cats just recently had 7! 7! 7 freaking kittens. I thought more than likely it would be 3 or so. Not 7!

Last time I was at the cat ranch I saw 4 of the 6 cats my dad dropped off a couple of months ago.

Two of them were (makes circle with one hand, puts finger through circle with other) out on the driveway one evening so hopefully some kittens are coming our way soon.

Blessed be the fruit.

whoa.  that's a pretty amazing stonewall for kansas.

That wall runs a half mile between quarters.  I got to hand it to my neighbor he has made a real effort to put rocks back on top of that, cleaned trees, maintained it.  I desecrated my half punching a whole thru it for a gate when we bought an adjacent 40.

I will have to do a rock wall tour one of these times, including the hole where all of that rock was quarried.  My dad and fellow farmer always said a good man could quarry and lay a rod (16.5 ft) of rock wall in a day.

It's amazing how much rock is in those walls.  We've scalped rock off a couple for flower beds, and fill the pick up bed and it looks like you barely made a dent.

It seems like the cows could pretty easily jump that stone wall. Does that happen or do the cows just say "Meh, got plenty of sweet sweet flint hills grass over on my side".

I narrowly avoided death by the hoof of Wyoming forest cows last summer.

Luckily I was in a car and could drive away before I was trampled and eaten.
