rick daris tales from the game (now updated w/ umkc info)

[Dr Rick Daris]

-pregamed at pcatgrill and bobby t's. i can't decide if i love the wings at pcat or hate them. so weird. more people at t's than you'd probably expect.

-first trip to bram in 9 months and was pretty anxious to check out the pcorn but kk mumped me with some pretty bad intel so i wasn't able to. i'll get you guys next time w/ the '14/'15 pcorn scene i promise.

-their coach looked 25 and was a bad actor trying to get some calls. it was enjoyable.

-the new jumbotron is nice but if you get up really close it's like 800 18inch tv's all side by side together. stats on the top is nice.

-hurt is going to make as all laugh really hard once or twice this year with hurt shenanigans.

-brian roehleder has dad hair.

-there was a ref that looked like saul and i would yell at him "bad call saul" and "what were you thinking saul?!?" and "you'd be better off trying to mod the board than call this game saul". hilarious.

-the new lights are great. the upper half of the stands are pretty dark and you really can't see people above row 15 if they are sitting across the court.

-sprads and the tall recruit from st johns were at the game behind the bench.

[The Big Train]

this is what i have been rough ridin' waiting for 

[puniraptor]

I am pro pcat wings (buffalo not BBQ)

[star seed 7]

Most of that "post" is a lie

[Tobias]

hurt is going to make us laugh like once or twice a half

[Dr Rick Daris]

other tales...

-i think hurt shoots the first free throw "glasses up" and then the second "glasses down" on a shooting two scenario. super adorable.

[Tobias]

did kk ask the ref for router recommendos?

[The Big Train]

after re-reading this and knowing everything from the broadcast, what made this experience special for you, Rick?

[Dr Rick Daris]

did kk ask the ref for router recommendos?

no. but he did get to ride aj hess a bit during the game and then tell him he played well after the game in the tunnel. wow!

also, i believe i've said this before somewhere but i'll say it again...the pcatgrill happy hour 4-6pm chicken strip basket is the best deal in the state. just amazing. chips and queso? not so much.

[star seed 7]

A CHICKEN STRIP BASKET HAPPY HOUR?!?!?!

[The Big Train]

let that sink in for a minute.

[Dr Rick Daris]

A CHICKEN STRIP BASKET HAPPY HOUR?!?!?!

1/2 price pcat apps from 4-6 and their chicken strip basket is to die for. also talked to fitz after the game. he thinks these cats might be really, really good. also, jeff mittie is pretty tall.

2nd half, we moved to some empty chairbacks. Can you say "upgrade?"

[Pete]

The upper seats are very dark on TV.  You can't even tell if anyone is sitting in the KU-game-only-corner-seats while watching TV.

[Dr Rick Daris]

2nd half, we moved to some empty chairbacks. Can you say "upgrade?"

ha. i pointed you guys out to kk and then in the second half looked up and didn't see you.

[Cartierfor3]

I thought Sprads went to Germany or something

Oh. I thought we were talking about a transfer from the college St. John. I love me some Claws. Good stuff, rick. 

[Dr Rick Daris]

-no pregame tonight. just home homemade 'za at the house and then off to the bram.

-popcorn. wow salt! i mean i like as much or more than the other guy but this was ooc (out of control). get your crap together bram.

-edwards- taller and thicker than i expected. showed good restraint on o not trying to do too much. good boarding. i like him.

-game where they flip over gift cards for different amounts and then shoot a three to double. gmafb on the gift card turnover part. it's sooooooo boring. just give him a hundy and let him shoot.

-halftime what a snoozer. little cat slam jam and not one attempted three sixty or anything. hey mods can we vet these three year olds before we just throw them out there?

-one of their guys had a rat tail. i was waiting for him and a ref to come close so i could tell the refs to check his socks for meth and illegal fireworks cause of the whole being from missouri w/ a rat tail thing. like, hey you know he has bottlerockets on his body somewhere! those are illegal in ks, you know? it never came to fruition.

-kk ordered and subsequently drank a mountain dew. wow party animal.

-shawn meyer was on the tickets and media guide and if you just glanced really quick at the pic you'd swear angel was back.

[Tobias]

it's like an okie will spradling or something

[joda]

it's like an okie will spradling or something

Oh wow, the fact he made sure the rat tail showed in his pic

[Spracne]

it's like an okie will spradling or something

The elusive Helmet Hair

[Kat Kid]

Rat Tail was a delight.
