Seems like a good time to remind everyone who reads this thread that when you agreed to the www.goEMAW.com Terms and Conditions to register, you agreed to not talk to traditional and/or non-traditional media outlets about the contents of this board.

I know at least one mod who has been contacted by a reporter from Baton Rouge so we can expect this to increase as this story heats up. If this happens, politely decline to comment. We have some pretty effective ways of identifying who is talking so don't think we won't know who is violating our T&C. A violation would most definitely result in a suspension if not an outright ban. Probably without a refund of any kind.

Thanks for keeping this in mind.

yep, that's how oldefella got banned in the early days of goEMAW.com

He was warned. Repeatedly.

We'd hate to have to start "sitting" on our breaking stories for months due to some careless rumors.

I had no idea that when I was 17 and decided to attend THE Kansas State University that I would be attending one of the most academically and culturally relevant schools in our hemisphere. I really took it for granted at the time.

OMG just got the PM. Cannot believe this may actually happen. This could bring our Athletic Department to new heights. Dollars to donuts says NBAF put us over the edge.

We are incredibly lucky here.

I can't go into specifics but nbaf and ft riley/DoD along with schultz and curries strong sec ties are all working in ksu's favor right now. also, if anybody knows slimz in real life or has his cell number, bsac and I really want to talk with him. thanks.

PM sent. If you talk to him, make sure he got his mic back from clams' house from the podcastpak.

he didn't leave his mic, he left his mic stand. but yes, he picked it up later on. not sure the date but i do remember it was cold out that day. confirmed.

Folks, this is probably the right time to share my inside info on K-State to the SEC. With my eye health improving (I had surgery in May to enlarge my eye sockets and relieve pressure), my work day will lengthen to what it was before, as will my ability to stare at a computer screen, which is rather important to breaking insidery info. I also hope the coming goEMAW app for smart phones will help, because holding my phone a few inches from my face with one eye shut (yep, true story) is easy on my eyes.

I really have tried not to talk about it much, but the last three years have really sucked. I sat on a lot of info. I spend more time screen-testing and creeping coeds in Aggieville than I care to admit. My eyes will never be the same, but at least they don't feel exhausted 90 percent of the time. My docs at KU Eye and KU Med have been phenomenal. Work/life productivity is already up.

From our good friend, Chip:

Quote

Sources close to A&M indicate the nine-member regents board will vote to leave for the SEC. The SEC presidents are expected to talk on Saturday in a special gathering to discuss A&M becoming the 13th member of that conference, according to sources.

....and the 14th is.......

McCollough just got played by a future SEC AD, and I'm not talking about KU.

What about hats? I wear a hat a lot, A LOT, especially to games. When SEC games are on TV I don't remember seeing a ton of the great looking D00Ds at Alabama, Tennessee, etc. wearing them at games. I just don't have that great of hair so this is making me a little nervous. Surely I will be ok wearing a hat at Neyland Stadium right??? right???

Thanks

Here's a pretty solid list of purple neckties.

Now we have to start wearing neckties and khaki's to games (FWIW, I think most of the southerners call them "chinos"). BUT, you DO get to roll up your sleeves.

I hate to keep any SECrets from you guys but let us work the phones and get this thing locked down, okay?

Called and left you a message RD. Will be around tonight.

Good thing I got my mic stand back from 'clams. Gonna need to do a podcast in a day or two, if you catch my drift.

Judging from the guest count, goEMAW is currently one of the top places for breaking confy realignment news. Hope mods are working on the TV ad already...

(And judging from Tully's tweet just now, also top place for "Ask Your Source" t-shirts.)
