People who went to Madness, was there anything worth me knowing about Myles, Sprads, SpriForThree, etc. from last night? Basketball stuff, not dancing/adorableness.

Essentially Flyertalk / Just back from 8 day New England vacation, Wonderfu time!
« on: October 10, 2010, 11:47:38 AM »
The wife and I took 8 days and toured the New England states from Oct 1-8. I know this is not real sports related but just wanted to share a few things. Started in Rhode Island then drove through Conn, Mass, Maine, New Hamp, Vermont and Eastern NY. Our plan was to try and never drive on any road other than a two lane highway and never eat in any chain restaurants. We drove 1300 miles and 1200 of those were two lane curving beautiful fall foliage scenic drives through small villages with the white steepled churches and town squares. Colors were wonderful. A very helpful book was "The Most Beautiful Drives In America". Anyway, didnt want to come back to Manhattan even though we love it here.
Several sports related items: 1) Got tired of people asking if Manhattan was where KU is located. 2) Got a few comments about the Thur NU game. Polite but not much I could say. 3) Steve Grogan is still well known up there and very respected. 4) Watched the NU game at our hotel in Albany. Was nice to be able to get the game anywhere we wanted to stop for the night. It just happened to be Albany (the one larger town we stayed in). 5) Met a retired guy at the Bennington Rev War monument in Bennington, Vt. When he learned I was from Manhattan, Ks he said he was a Marshall fan and had been to Man for a game. He said "You have the nicest FB fans I've ever met anywhere in the US. We got invited to eat at many many tailgate parties as we walked through the parking lot both before and after the game. Couldn't believe how nice everyone was!" Was nice to hear.
Anyway, it was one of our all time favorite vacations. Vermont and New Hamp were the best. History everywhere and incredible scenery. We're going back.

With Dobbie on the outs at ksufans, spammers are running amuck. Here, one bumps BMW's "Perkins is building a monster" thread over a year later.

Kansas State Football / Viers should start ahead of Weibert
« on: September 23, 2010, 11:42:02 PM »Quote
In casual attire, Weibert's style is fairly straightforward.
"I like to wear jeans and an Affliction T-shirt," Weibert said. "I feel like I wore Affliction before everyone else did. I wore that stuff a long time ago. Once everyone else started wearing it, I started to get offended. They're ripping my style."

The Big 12 title win was one of historical proportions, but the Baytown, Texas, product hedges as to whether that game was K-State's best of the year.
"We went to Nebraska and whipped up on them pretty good earlier in the year," Roberson said of a 38-9 victory over the No. 18 Cornhuskers, when he passed for 313 yards and rushed for 90, accounting for three touchdowns.
Quote
In a story that now can be told, Roberson played the second half of the 2003 season with a rotator cuff injury that was later diagnoses as being torn 75 to 80 percent off the bone.
Surgery following the Fiesta Bowl, which all but ended his NFL draft hopes, so he opted for a career in the Canadian Football League with the Montreal Alouettes, first as a quarterback and finally as a receiver.
"I never did recover from the surgery, and I ended up having to quit so I could maybe move my arm when I was 50," said Roberson. "As it turned out, continuing to play at K-State really damaged it, but I'd do it over again. I loved the sport, but it was tearing up my body."

Roberson lives in Houston where he works as a safety process engineer for Sercel Incorporated, which manufactures cables used by companies like British Petroleum in finding off-shore oil.

Kansas State Football / Did we know this?
« on: September 03, 2010, 12:13:02 AM »Quote
LAWRENCE — Tammie Hemlee has always been candid with her children, but the truth she waited to tell her son, Angus, is that if things had gone according to plan, she never would have known him.
But things have never really gone according to plan with Angus Quigley.
The truth is that in 1985, Hemlee was 18 with a 2-year-old daughter and things were bad enough as it was. Hemlee herself was a ward of the state of Texas and had spent much of her life bouncing from foster home to foster home. Her mother, an alcoholic and schizophrenic, had been ruled unfit.
"One place to one place," Hemlee said, "one sister to the next sister."
At school one day, a classmate raped and impregnated Hemlee. She didn't know what to do. A senior in high school with no real home to go to, no support from her mother and a toddler she was already trying to care for, Hemlee decided she would give away her unborn baby.
"I didn't want to have an abortion," she said, "but I wanted him to have a good home because I knew I couldn't take care of him."
That was the plan all along. She carried her boy to term and delivered him in a county hospital in Fort Worth. When a child is going to be put up for adoption, the procedure is to deliver the baby and basically whisk it away immediately. But the doctors made a mistake and brought Hemlee her son. Recovering in the hospital, Hemlee had three days with her son before doctors came to take him away.
"On the third day, when they came to get him, I told my sister, 'I can't give him up now,' " Hemlee said. "I promised I'll work two jobs, I'll do whatever, I just can't give up my baby."
She named him Angus.
Angus Quigley has pretty much always known his mom was raped, but it wasn't until he was 15 that Tammie told him the whole story. His father did time for the assault and Tammie said Angus didn't even know about him until he was 15.
He looks distantly into the floor as if it is the horizon, and he recalls how he felt when his mom told him about the circumstances that brought him into the world.
"It's real crazy," he said. "When you're young, you don't really know the whole gist of what rape is, but my mom sat down and she talked to me. It was real crazy when she dropped that."
Must be weird for Quigley to play at Rape University.

— Unity for the Kansas football team now includes a night at the inn before home games.
— Not sure if fans who desire a hotel room in Lawrence are thrilled about that.
— Not sure if those who consider Lew Perkins a tad extravagant approve either.
