OK, there are a lot of great Christmas songs, many with legitimate claims to the best Xmas song ever. White Christmas bowls me over every time...how about you guys?

Kansas State Football / Nick Saban

« on: November 30, 2013, 11:57:04 PM »

After today, Nick should retire from coaching when he's done with 'Bama's bowl game. He will not win another natty. ESPN should hire him to replace Mark May.

Essentially Flyertalk / Thanksgiving Week as an Excuse

« on: November 26, 2013, 12:25:37 AM »

So. We are in Thanksgiving Week. I will close my office at Noon Wednesday and will not open until Monday. Seems like the thing to do. Good enough excuse to do no work for a few days?

These guys just keep winning. Where does this end and what does the new AD do with Mack?

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / World Series 2013

« on: October 22, 2013, 12:23:09 AM »

Predicto time. These are teams that really impress me. Both have good pitching (pitching depth goes to STL), both have good defense and good bats.

So who wins, and in how many games?

So we have our second bye week of the season. What do the guys do?

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / Cal Ripken

« on: October 11, 2013, 01:18:35 AM »

Cal Ripken, Jr., says he may want to manage. Great baseball guy..and HOF. Great BB pedigree (Cal Ripken, Sr.). Assuming teams want to take a risk on a Hall of Famer who has never managed or coached, where would he be a good manager next season? (Personally, I think Cal as a manger has potential....I also think Georege Brett would be OK as a manager, but I don't think he wants the travel, etc.)

135

Kansas State Football / So, what do we do in the bye week?

« on: September 23, 2013, 12:32:32 AM »

I plan on drinking a lot.

I just reviewed the latest emoticons. I'm blown away, just blown away. This is the finest and most comprehensive collection of e-cons I have ever seen. Once again, we are the best.

How will he play this season and what role will he play?

Kansas State Football / Will we lose our second game?

« on: September 02, 2013, 10:04:56 PM »

I say no. It won't be especially impressive, but it will be better than the NDSU game.

Kansas State Football / FRIDAY

« on: August 28, 2013, 12:17:09 AM »

This is it. Friday, August 30, 2013. The first game. The opening of The Castle.

I am declaring a work holiday, closing the office, and starting the binge. (By the way, my employees continue to love me for things like this).

And you?

Essentially Flyertalk / A new academic year

« on: August 24, 2013, 12:44:31 AM »

Was out and about in MHK tonight and it became readily apparent that the finest college students in the world have returned.

What can we expect, athletically, academically, and otherwise, from this throng of returning students and incoming freshmen?

Essentially Flyertalk / Rain

« on: July 30, 2013, 01:29:32 AM »

I like to to get outdoors in the summer, especially in July and August. Golf, running, a hike or two. With all this rain (no real consecutive day let-up in sight) any suggestions on how to slake my outdoors thirst?

Essentially Flyertalk / Temporary Bachelor

« on: July 05, 2013, 01:23:36 AM »

Damn. Mrs. Bones has to hit the road for a two week business trip in the fall. I can do laundry, but can't cook for crap and hate shopping. Besides eating out every night, any suggestions?

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / Tebowing Hernandez

« on: July 02, 2013, 11:32:26 PM »

So, Tebow being a hero in another incident? Bar hopping with Hernandez, perhaps? Thought bars were beneath Tebow. Maybe...maybe not?

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Discuss: Just who is Bill Self, and what is he all about?

« on: July 01, 2013, 11:48:42 PM »

There is something sinister about this guy. Thoughts or facts? (BTW, not sure I believe the rumor that he wears pantyhose under his suit pants on the sidelines during games).

Essentially Flyertalk / Fourth of July

« on: July 01, 2013, 12:48:39 AM »

I love the Fourth, but have become a bit burned out on hours of shooting fireworks. We'll be BBQ'ing, golfing, and pounding some beers.

Any other advice on how to meaningfully spend this great holiday without blowing up stuff in my driveway? TIA.

« on: June 22, 2013, 12:27:16 AM »

I'm hyped, almost over-hyped, for the beginning of FB season, and am becoming concerned with this obsession.

How best to soothe my soul, guys?

Essentially Flyertalk / Jimmy Hoffa

« on: June 17, 2013, 11:19:39 PM »

OK, guys, the FBI seems excited about this.

Will we finally find Jimmy Hoffa? If not, did they sink him in Tuttle Puddle, never to be found again?
