I sure hope not, we don't need a scandal that puts Kansas State in the same neighborhood as Penn State

This thread seems offensive to Trim.

While I was in college, my buddy and I coached a city rec boys team and one of the boys on our team was a KSU ballboy. Can't remember his name, but I also waited on him and his parents at T-Star a couple of times. His parents were pretty great.

yeah SB, your original post reminded me of the green-shirted young fellas taking care of the footballs on the astro turf.

I was friends with a girl in middle school in a different state, met her again a few years later when she was working as a Bramlage pink shirt at the top of Section 19. Totally bizarro.

Yeah I guess football and hoops both had ball boys so it can stay here. I was hoops but whatever.

Highlight: as a young SB, being on SportsCenter in the background because me and younger bro were stationed behind the tunnel basket during Ski Jones' 62'r.

Embarrassing/comical lowlight: when news broke that Dana Altman wasn't coming back, my dad was working late. He told me to keep him posted so I watched Lori Hutchison on KTKA 5 and then it was bedtime. Pops still wasn't home so I left him a note on the front door that just said:

He was my first boss.

I always wanted one of those green Big 8 shirts.

without me taking the time to google, what benefit does microwaving a football have?

Warm balls are good balls.

I think it makes the football more pliable and/or elastic. Usually you see the kickers or other ball handlers trying to cave the ball in with their hands to loosen it up.

Not really but one time after a game I accidentally saw Belvis Noland naked.

Oh I did job shadow Tan Tom in 6th grade. I put on a way-too-big suit and everything and did a hilariously awful interview which I recorded.

6th grade SB: What about scheduling a bunch of super high-profile teams next season? Can we play a game at UCLA? That'd probably be cool, my dad went there.
Tan Tom: hey yeah, I'll totally have one of my assistants look into that. Have you met Gerald Eaker and his daughter? Hey gang, come meet this kid.
