Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / Official KC Current Thread

« on: October 24, 2022, 11:05:58 AM »

I didn't see a thread for them.

Playing for the NWSL title next weekend against Portland after beating the OL Reign 2-0 last night on the road. The Reign had Rapinoe and Lavelle from the USNT so it seemed like a pretty big upset. The Current have also lost only once in like their last 15 games after starting the season as hot garbage AND losing their best player to injury. The Current goalkeeper is an incredible stud (studette?)

I thought it was worth mentioning as it's a squad with high watchability and likability. A lot fewer embellished injuries and KC kept attacking throughout despite being underdogs and holding a slim lead.

Essentially Flyertalk / Virtual Events

« on: December 01, 2020, 01:33:15 PM »

Anybody hit any of these that were worthwhile? I watched a livestream for the podcast How Did This Get Made last month that was pretty good.

This month I am considering some more of those podcast streams, a VEEP reading, an NYE Avett Brothers concert, a Hold Steady concert and a Mike Birbiglia show. Seems like a lot though and probably needs to be cut down.

Essentially Flyertalk / Too Much Time On Your Hands

« on: April 14, 2020, 01:14:31 PM »

I have been spending my additional free time watching Travolta movies.

Only rating ones I've watched recently (will update):

1. Face/Off - Travolta v. Cage in a crazy off
2. Battlefield Earth - Unfortunately, the sequel never got made and there are a lot of loose ends
3. The General's Daughter - Generic 90s thriller
4. Phenomenon - Spoiler: Kyra Sedgwick sexes alien-tumored Travolta to death
5. One of the Look Whos Talking sequels - Kirstie Alley continues her streak of being the best actress in Hollywood. Travolta seemingly gets promoted from taxi driver to pilot. The babies talk to eachother without moving their mouths. They should put peanut butter on their mouths but maybe they were allergic?

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Currie on KMAN

« on: March 02, 2016, 08:22:08 AM »

I only caught the last 5 or so minutes of Currie on KMAN. While not naming the basketball team explicitly, he made it clear that K-State teams will struggle from time to time due to having 2 P5 schools in the state, transfers, and injuries. There are highs and lows like the stock market.

Didn't sound like anything can be done. Got stuck with bad hand being a P5, stuck with these transfer rules, and having the one injury this season. Long live oscar

I used to type in http://goEMAW.com/forum/ to go to the board and now it gives me some index. I think it changed when the FF poster was updated. Would be nice to sill get to the board from there.

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Is Boeheim on the way out?

« on: March 15, 2012, 10:53:09 PM »

I'm curious if Syracuse will fire him after they're eliminated on Saturday. They barely built UNC-Asheville, he employs pervert criminals, slanders the victims, has players cheating academically, and covers up drug tests. I don't know how Syracuse can keep him employed unless they want to look even more classless than him. I know he's won a few games or whatever, but he just seems terrible and a large University like that pretty much has to let him go, no?

Kansas State Football / How was anyone mad at Gus Johnson?

« on: December 03, 2011, 10:45:07 PM »

Listening to him call the B10 Champ is fantastic. When a play was under review, even though it was pretty clearly incomplete, he was calling for it to be a catch simply because he wanted the receiver to make a ridiculous play. Its like watching the game with the biggest, most excitable fan of either team ever

Quote

At around 10 minutes left in the second half, two young lasses made their way behind the basket where TCU was shooting free throws. They proceeded to get it on, and I mean wildly make out, as a distraction.
Needless to say the TCU player missed both. I'm guessing it was not a principled stand against DADT.
