Happy crap, Oakland. Long term problem, apparently.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Just who is oscar?

« on: June 08, 2013, 12:52:19 AM »

OK, we all know oscar is the coach...at least for now. We know he likes chicken nuggets. We know he has a wierd haircut. We know he doesn't unbutton his jacket (suit coat) on the sideline. We know he won with Frank's guys. We know his big recruit didn't qualify. We know our point guard left.

What else do we know about oscar? What else shoud we know about oscar?

Essentially Flyertalk / Cheese

« on: May 04, 2013, 12:32:20 AM »

It seems to me that if we have a honey thread (which is good) we can also have a cheese thread.

I am a dedicated cheese fan. I love cheese on burgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc. I also like to snack on Kraft Singles, so much so that I will peel off 2 or 3 singles from a Kraft stack and eat them. Anyone else out there a serious cheese slice fan?

Willie just turned 80 and he's still going strong. He's had his problems (taxes, etc.) but is he good at what he does or what? Discuss.

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / New Royals Manager

« on: April 29, 2013, 11:53:51 PM »

I'm really beginning to lose confidence in Ned as manager of the Royals, especially considering his continual mismanagement of the starting pitchers and the long relievers. Realistic candidates for his replacement?

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / Golf during the business day

« on: April 29, 2013, 12:33:05 AM »

OK guys, wondering what your opinions are on this. Specifically, I own my own business, and frequently receive requests from others to play in various golf events during business hours. Although I love golf, does my absence from the office look bad? I don't think so, but my secretary doesn't want to tell clients I'm out playing golf.

I undersatnd this. Suggestions on other excuses she can use? TIA.

Mark Cuban says he may draft Brittney Griner in the NBA's second round.  Dubious.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Self's Reaction

« on: March 10, 2013, 11:27:39 PM »

Watched Self's show tonight. He admitted he always places more value on the conference season than he does the Big 12 Tournament.

Then he said that because KU "pittered away" the conference title, and only shared the title, the tourney takes on more importance.

Bill Butthurt. Go Cats!

So now we have a conference championship, with the confy tournament next week. What do we do in that tourney...and how do we perform in the NCAA?

Kansas State Football / Johnny Football sues

« on: February 22, 2013, 11:18:53 PM »

OK, I understand his desire to protect the "Johnny Football" moniker, although I want to get sick every time I hear that phrase. My favorite part of the article is that he's taking all his classes online this semester because of his on-campus "celebrity." Can this guy get any more full of himself?

« on: February 18, 2013, 12:52:36 AM »

So, Danica Patrick wins the Daytona 500 Pole. Can she overcome her romance with Ricky Stenhouse to win it all next Sunday? What happens when she's in Turn 4 on the final lap, inches behind Ricky--does she turn him and wreck him, or back off and let him win?

We're now tied for the Big 12 lead. We visit KU Monday night. We play the 'Clones here Saturday (our revenge) and they face Lon at OU Saturday (alma mater time, Lon).

I like our chances Monday. Get ready for Monday Meltdown, KU.

Tiger dominates in his first 2013 PGA tournament. He says is game is on. Does he win a major this year? Does he break Nicklaus' record?

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Best Big 12 Road Trip

« on: January 27, 2013, 12:34:59 AM »

Sounds like the goEMAWers' ISU road trip was eventful, to say the least. That said, what's the best BB road trip for us in the Big 12? Please consider history, bars, hotels, etc. I've always liked to go to KU because I can get tickets, it's a short drive from KSU, they have some good bars and food, and I usually (but not always) get back home the same day or night.

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / Doing great BB things with only 7 players

« on: January 23, 2013, 10:10:26 PM »

In Tuesday's practice the KSU women lost two more players to season-ending injuries. They have only seven players left (one of whom was injured and had to leave the game tonight).

So what do they against 12th ranked OSU? They played ferocious defense, broke the school record for 3P buckets made, and beat OSU in overtime, 76-70. Pretty impressive.

Essentially Flyertalk / Bedtime

« on: January 19, 2013, 12:43:41 AM »

What is the optimum bedtime for goE's? After all, we have to strike a good balance between our goEMAW lives and our personal, business, and family lives (not necessarily in that order, Mrs. Bones). I'm thinking 1 a.m. on weekdays (presuming no major pak), and 3 a.m. onweekends (again not presuming a major pak).
