WTH would prompt a kid to do this?  Oh yeah, the school uses the powercat logo

The true story of college football's forgotten tragedy https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/29993873/three-generations-later-secrets-wichita-state-devastating-plane-crash-unfolding
via @ESPN App http://espn.com/app

The Marshall plane crash happened a little over a month after this disaster.  Marshall's tragedy has garnered more attention over the years, but Wichita State's is every bit as sad.

Men's sports will get cut first to stay within Title IX.  When do AD jobs get slashed or coaches take pay cuts?

Got to help the wife comply with the new approved bag policy this year.  She has back packed into BSFS for 25 years. Now must condense into this 12x12x6 clear bag courtesy of ADJC.

Other Sports (Tiger's Back) / House cleaning...

« on: June 08, 2014, 01:43:00 PM »

Cleaning up the office and 'cat game programs/media guides over running my one shelf limit.  The following headed for the dumpster, but wife (she can't throw anything away) says check with goEMAW:

1995-96 Mens media guide(Asburys NCAA tourny team)
2000-01 Mens media guide(Wooldridge)
2001-02 Mens media guide(Wooldridge)
2002-03 Mens media guide(Wooldridge)
2000-01 Womens media guide(Koehn, Ohlde Fr year)
2001-02 Womens media guide(Wecker Fr year)
2002-03 Womens media guide(29 game winners)

At one point Ahearn Fund member received media guides for football and basketball (M&W).  That's the only reason I can explain having the 2000-03 'set' for M&WBB.

Kansas State Basketball is hard / Jevon Thomas

« on: January 26, 2014, 11:43:17 AM »

For the high BBIQers on this board.  What are realistic expectations for him going forward? 

TV broadcast yesterday highlighted his shooting pct struggles both from the floor and the FT line.  Noted late in close games at this point we can't afford to have him on the floor (opponent foul target due to poor FT%). 

How much longer does the "...couldn't practice until Dec, only played nine games..." preface every discussion of his play?

Who becomes the "go to guy" next year for this team?  How do we replace PPG/RPG that Rodney gave us?
