I'm going to say we drop 3 of 6 reg season games, win 1 in the Phillips 66, win 1 in the NCAA's.

25 wins, record stands tied

Booooooooo

I think the Big 12 would look for schools that can be competitive in more than just one sport. The Zags have a great basketball team, but the absence of a football team would affect their running for a Big 12 spot imo.

TCU, Boise St, BYU, Notre Dame would be awesome candidates..

Boise St? Their program doesnt even compare to the zags. How many E8's have the bronco's made it too? S16's? The big beast seems to do alright with basetball only schools.

Yea they did.  Place was packed.  Sold out 23,500.

Always wondered how you can "sell out" a free, non-ticketed event.  Unless they charged or did giveaway some sort of tickets.

I thought I saw on sports center that the number was 22K and change.  Either way, if the previous record was shattered by us with 8k, needless to say the UK record will last for quite a while.

Syracuse might break it in a couple weeks vs nova, they have enough room in the carrier dome

Good point.  ESPN radio said yesterday that 'cuse had 33k+ watching them lose this weekend.  They said it was the most fans to watch a D1 BB game this season. 

TX and UNC beg to differ....

Dont really take him seriously, same with Rush and O'Reilly. They're entertainers, thats why there on TV, nothing more.

Big fan of Ireland though. Got plastered with an Irish guy on his honeymoon a couple years ago on a cruise ship. We started talking college basketball and he couldnt get a grasp on recruiting, he kept saying "But if you dont pay them why would they go there?"(He had heard of Beasley and was wondering why he went to Kansas State. He also dispelled the Guiness myth, most irish people drink Miller Lite at bars according to him)

Tipping back a few Select 55s right now. Bad aftertaste, but decent with lemon. And a shot of gentlemen jack.

FYI the Select 55's have like 2% alcohol. Try not to look too drunk off of it......

While attempting to shepard some inredibly packed friends home from the ville I let them get about 30 feet in front of me. I round the corner into the dara's parking lot right by hibachi hut and see 4 people attempting to fight on a large sheet of ice in the parking lot. Probably the greatest fight scene ever, my two drunk friends attempting to fight 2 randoms for no reason on a giant sheet of ice. Lots of flailing and falling, watched it for about 30 seconds before I stepped in to moderate the peace.

Working at Tubs I saw my fair share of bar fights, most ended with bouncers dragging people out in choke holds.....

On a side note is there a better job for a meat head than a bouncer? Get paid to use your brute strength to subdue incredibly wasted people half your size, they eat that crap up.

All the DVD's I bought in high school college, lost them all eventually or just didnt care enough to keep trucking them around

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?

« on: February 13, 2010, 02:49:43 PM »

Bank of Blue Valley here in KC has a pretty great checking account deal, 4% apy which is more than you would earn in any savings account or CD. They make their money by requiring you to run your debit card as a credit card at least 12 times a month so that they can collect on those transaction fee's. You also get $25 in ATM reimbursement every month since they dont have very many locations. Can have up to $25,000 in the account.

I also have a question for SD and the other churners out there. Does the constant applying for and canceling credit cards have any effect on your credit score?

Southwest Rapid Rewards Visa is nice.  

Use it on anything, and use it towards a southwest purchase and it doubles your credits.

Each dollar is worth 1 credit. (double if it is towards southwest purchase)

1200 credits is 1 point.

16 points for a free roundtrip flight to any Southwest destination.

When you sign up for Rapid Rewards Visa, you automatically get 8 points, and you get 2 points for creating a Rapid Rewards account on southwest.com. (10 points total)

This leaves only 6 points for your first free rountrip flight.  Each one-way flight is 1 point.

Pretty badass IMO.  I use it as a company card, and some of my coworkers have over 13 free roundtrip flights waiting to be used.

Just applied for this one. Fly nothing but southwest for work when I can. Plan on putting all flights on that card instead of company card and just having them reimburse me.

Essentially Flyertalk / Packing for a trip

« on: February 10, 2010, 02:48:26 PM »

What kind of packer are you? Do you plan out exactly what your going to wear everyday 2 weeks in advance and only pack what you are planning on wearing? Or do you simply throw a crap ton of clothes in a bag and hour before you leave and hope you have everything ?

I'm part of the latter, if going on business I'll make sure I have enough dress shirts and pants but other than that I just throw some random collection of clothes in my bag and start praying.

I ALWAYS bring a swimsuit, have since I was a kid. You never know what could happen or if the hotel has a sweet pool or what

Are you serious?  Dude looked amazing.

I believe your thinking about that handsome norwegian Sig Hansen.

Phil Harris was a walking stroke. Think about it, a 300lb man who smokes 2 packs a day while drinking coffee so black Mass Seff tried to recruit it. It was gonna happen eventually....

I bet it sucks ass in real life when you try to use it.  Like, stuff prolly sticks to the blades and sides and won't chop at all and then when you lift it to get the stuff off the sides/blades the stuff on the bottom falls out the sides so you can't continue to chop it. 

Sounds like a unsatisfied customer

mcmw

I have always wondered...

do we want mcmw before or after they come to k-state?

which one is better?

what about during their time here? what do you guys think?

I think its best for MCMW to be before, during and after they come to school.

Also, bonus points for any alum that ends up in prison or dead, due to foul play.

Thunder Collins is single handidly brining Nebraska football back to national prominence......
