Loved Bob Davis on the radio after the game as students were storming the court. "This is really a dangerous situation, they're doing nothing for security."
I'm sure he made the same call when KU was tearing down goalposts after every win.

"Ohhhhhh, they're gonna call it on KU?"
The Phog is doing its best impersonation as we speak. Apparently the refs are helping OSU shoot 60 percent from 3.

No offense to SD or anything, but I kind of hope TP does file a lawsuit. I'd be interested in what illegal things he believes you've done, which would be spelled out in said suit. Of course, he's going to have to find an incredibly dumb ambulance chaser to file it first.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Re: Expanding Bramlage
« on: February 25, 2010, 02:57:23 PM »This thread is dumb.
1) Low populated Manhattan, KS
2) Should probably pack non-conference games before we even sniff the idea.
I imagine season tickets for next year will be sold out.
You want to use the population base of Manhattan? Bramlage currently seats less than 1/3 of the population of MHK proper. Using your logic, we should have never added the upper deck to BSFS. Nobody's talking about a 'Cuse style upgrade, but another 2-3k seats would be nice and help makeup for the hit we take with such a large number of students in prime spots.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?
« on: February 25, 2010, 11:19:28 AM »This. Slu and I make $500 to $700 a year on citibank and discover. Never have paid a penny in interest. I guess we are smart enough not to reward the banks and have them reward us.
I chose not to reward banks that have already received my tax dollars in bailouts.
that's your fault then. i rewarded a lot of them by letting them give me tons of free crap. thanks citibank!
OH.... wrong answer!
You do realize that there are fees that are added to credit card transaction that the "store" pays? And of course that store doesn't really pay them. They pass them on to consumers. In fact, there has been a trend over the last couple of years for gas stations to return to the credit-cash dichotomy pricing. Most stations don't advertise it.
I use the cc fees when I'm negotiating prices on large items. The money I've saved by making cash transactions and negotiating prices is easily several hundred dollars.
What's a large purchase? If you're making enough truly large purchases each year to save several hundred dollars while negotiating every purchase to the 2~4 percent leeway in cc fees, you could be getting thousands of dollars in rewards. Provided you know how to keep a budget and use the credit cards for purchases you were already going to make.
You're also losing money in your scenario by paying more on all the small stuff that you don't negotiate on by paying cash. With the right credit card you could recoup these higher costs quite easily.

Here, just remember you can still claim MHK because of our inclusion in the Manhattan Micropolitian Area. Would be down for a

As I began my still drunk journey back home to pick up the pieces of my obviously shattered life, I caught a glimpse of silver in the early morning light. Barefoot, I trudged gingerly to the spot where I had seen the curious glimmer only to find my keys near the sidewalk.
A few minutes later, still pondering the good fortune of finding my keys I happened upon my wallet followed shortly after by my phone in a glorious trail leading me home to lick my wounded pride.
The smell of cheap scotch was still quite strong when I found the first shoe, which also posed a quandary. Do I put this one shoe on and risk being seen, allowing some relief to a foot that has already suffered enough, or do I risk the equally ridiculous proposition of being seen walking barefoot while carrying exactly one shoe? I'm not ashamed to say it, I put the shoe on, careful to avoid allowing my altered stride to take me in an endless circle in a quiet Manhattan neighborhood.
Two blocks later, my concentration still on my stride, my hopes were dashed by a wayward piece of trash. Undeterred, I continued on scouring the early-morning landscape for any hint of my lost sole. The sun was beginning to bear down, the vapor from the fleeting dew drew a bead to my brow. Another inconvenience that would be remedied by my bed shortly.
Now just a block away, I turned north only to find my missing sneak placed neatly on the curb -- pointing me on home. I hurriedly put old lefty on the proper appendage and began what felt like a sprint to my door. Fumbling slightly with the lock, I gave a great heave with my shoulder and crashed through the threshold, landing with a loud thud. I struggled to my bed, feeling the air conditioner blast as I slipped into a 15 hour coma.
And thus the epitome of why 06wildcat, who graduated high school in 2000, took a full 6.5 years to get what should have been a 3.5-4 year degree with a straight C average.
