At work we have a "pick em" league type thing where each week you pick the winner of every NFL game and put in $10 and whoever gets the most games right wins it all (tie breaker is total points in MNF)....About 10 people play each week and I've won twice and got 2nd twice in 5 weeks.....everyone thinks I'm a savant. 

But you know what my secret is? I just look at the point spread and bet on the team that is favored 90% of the time. I guess everyone else just randomly picks teams  :ck:

Some people feel that Boulder lacks diversity, both in its population and cultural offerings, which can make it feel even less welcoming to newcomers when they get pelted with full urine beers  :frown:

Boulder is basically Lawrence KS but instead of having good hearted Midwestern students from KS they have all the dregs from CA who couldn't get into Fresno state and just want to do drugs and throw batteries and urine water balloons on people. I'm sad we let them back into the conference (even tho they totes belong, hell their mascot is a buffalo....what animal evokes the image of the great plains more than the buffalo?!?)

Also I forgot grand summit out in Grandview. It's super cheap and about half the time you play it the course will be in great shape but the other half of the time it will be garbage. Pretty easy to get a tee time there tho.

A couple of years ago I decided to play a random solo round on Sunday afternoon out there because that was the only tee time I could find. By the time I got to the 11th hole I caught up to the group in front of us and it just happened to be our ole friend wackycat and his dad. Played the rest of the round with them and had a great time, 10/10.

What is your fav course in your home area? I like Falcon Lakes quite a bit. Nice big fairways and greens. Nice carts and other accoutrements. There are a number of greater KC notable courses that I have never tried tho. For example, I haven’t played Iron Horse, and should try that one.

I've played Ironhorse a couple of times with Friends but its not really my favorite, also its like $80 even during the week.

Usually it just depends on where I can get a tee time since I don't usually plan more than 4-5 days out in advance.

Favorites -

Lady Sykes / St. Andrews - Both courses owned by Overland Park, really nice but hard to get a tee time on short notice.
Tomahawk - Owned by JOCO, can usually get a tee time here on short notice. Super hilly course but fun.
Sycamore Ridge - Way out in spring hill but its a good time, basically 2 different courses. Front 9 has tons of tree's and back 9 is alot more open with tall grass.
Fred Arbanas- KCMO course on longview lake with nice open fairways.

Places I play a ton because its easy to get a tee time and cheap.

Minor Park - KCMO course, great for beginners and for a quick round.
Swope Park - KCMO old timey course, its pretty short but lots of turns/doglegs and small greens.
Heart of America - KCMO 9 hole course, it could be 8 am on a sunday morning and you can still get a tee time in the next 2 hours for $20.
Painted Hills - Great life course that used to be real shitty but I played it for the first time in a couple years and it was actually in really good condition.
Teetering Rocks - Probably my favorite mix of course and tee time availability. It's an "Executive" course with 2 par 5's on the front 9 and a bunch of short par 4's and 3's on the back 9. Super duper cheap, like $45 with a cart on the weekends.

I'm not sure we want to subject our student-athletes to the disgusting people of the state of Colorado. The last thing we need is for Avery to step on a dirty needle and his entire football career coming to a screeching halt. They are already talking on premium message boards about how students are going to throw beer bottles full of urine at Dylan Edwards while they are high on ketamine. I'm extremely worried about the safety of our Kansas State football team. Is this game really worth it? I say we forfeit it or at least appeal that the game be played at a neutral site in Colby, Kansas. I'm so embarrassed that we have to share a conference with these wicked individuals.

Between the air quality issues, mental health crisis, substance abuse, and homelessness - Colorado just isn't a place suitable for our great young men. It would be wildly irresponsible to send them there.

Who is with me?

Go 'Cats!

Dennen Field would be electric on Saturday.

Pregame tailgate at J&B Meat Market?!

Absolutely, then after we kick the crap out of Colorado we can head on down to the B-Hive for some post game coors and cheeseburgers.

This is the 9th time the Royals have made the playoffs. 7 out of the previous 8 times they made the ALCS.

I see no way the dumb yankee's can stop us from our destiny.

In that same area GG’s Birria Barbacoa Cafè is really good and I have A & J Molcajete on my list of places to try. So if we can get boots on the ground there that would be great.
I went to GGs the other day and it was pretty good. Love the "hot oil" salsa or whatever it is.

I know this guy who is a degenerate table tennis better (like hundreds of dollars on a match)

???

Lol. Right. Let's hear more about this guy.
I have a friend of a friend who is a compulsive gambler on table tennis/Korean baseball/random crap. I see him a couple of times a year and it's annoying. This was before gambling was even legal in Kansas and he spent 20 minutes talking to me about how easy it is to win money gambling on the WNBA.

Maybe they send those alerts to everyone regardless of what you bet? Seems kind of condescending imo

To Michigancats point tho my buddy just sent me this.....is fan duel peer pressuring people to bet more or WTF? (I don't use fan duel so I'm not familiar with it)

Tacos El Sobrino has recently shot up my rankings of KCK taco joints (still behind San Antonio)

Iowa St leads UH 10-0 in 3q. What happened to that RB that defenestrated the Cats in the snow.
He broke off a 76yard TD run right after you posted this.

Got distracted by michigancats anti gambling crusade and forgot to post my sure thing parlay for the weekend....let's just say I'm halfway into turning $5 into like $72.



I'm only against legal online gambling! I don't have an issue with legal in-person sports books (or illegal bookies).

Should I have to walk into my local fidelity office or call them on the phone everytime I want to trade a stock?

bananaeater/clams and everyone else in this thread aren't gambling, we are INVESTING.

It amazes me, and surprises me after last season, how we practically never run Avery outside of scrambling.

It's frustrating because he is so good at running the ball but I think its the right decision. Keep his running ability in your back pocket until you really need it.

If Snyder had Avery he would have 1,000 yards rushing and 2 concussions by week 7.

My golf game is improving. I'm approaching Tiger Woods level. Specifically Tiger age 10 when he was in the 15-20 handicap range.  I think I could absolutely crush 9 year old Tiger right now.

I love that visual, me playing 12 year old Tiger and he just whoops up on me so I press the rewind button and play him again as a 9 year old and beat him while talking mad crap.

"C'MON TIGER, YOUR 120 OUT AND YOUR PULLING OUT A 7 IRON?!?!?! L O L"

I honestly like the weird wheat lights

I'll hold off until I see them in action but in the renderings they make the stadium feel smaller than it actually is. Also they just look weird.

What are we thinking for attendance on Saturday? 30k?

Who are the big money katz boosters funding our NIL? Has the ice man cometh? Is Edgerly "edging" out the competition? Some oil rich rancher I've never heard of?
Maybe Steve Dave's dad is selling off his fleet of beat up trucks and broke down 3 wheelers and siphoning the money to KSU NIL.

Rumor has it the piece of wood saying "FAMILY" that the players come out of the locker room with is actually from the bridge the Dave family forced us taxpayers to demolish and pay them for the honor. They took that money and started The Dave family scholarship that goes to the best athlete coming out of Meade county every year to get him on the team as a walk on.

The scholarship also includes a beat up farm truck they were getting ready to junk, obviously.

I am generally ok with people making mistakes that don't really hurt others but I think online sports gambling should be banned

Sorry folks

TLDR

Too busy building the perfect 10 leg parlay for this weekend that will make us all wildly rich.

OSU vs Marshall:  Marshall scores first.  Then the Will Howard team shows what they can do; Will throws 80 yard TD pass on the second play.  :drool:
80 yard pass that traveled 1 of those yards in the air.
