Author Topic: I thought I might meet Stan Parrish this morning at Church (Read 7744 times)

I am visiting my folks in Marana AZ (a nice little retirement community) and we decided to hit up church this morning. I was sporting a NIke shirt with a Powercat on the chest. Right before services started the guy in front of my pointed to my shirt at said, "Are you a coach or faculty?" I responded, "Nope, just a proud alum". He looked a hair puzzled and even more surprised when I said, "the most fun 5 1/2 years of my life". Him: 5 1/2 years? Me? Yah, too many nights at the bars and cut a few too many classes. Him: Oh.. Your old football coach is a member here I will introduce you after service. Me: looking forward to it. Then service starts and for the next hour I am thinking of meeting Stan Parrish. I am wondering is he bitter about his tenure with K-State and what is appropriate to ask? What is his take on Coach Snyder?

Service ends and I must admit I am a little excited to meet Coach Parrish. I quickly run my daughter to the bathroom and look for the guy so I can get my introduction. When I find him again as he is headed to the parking lot and he says, 'sorry Coach was not here today'. A little disappointed we head out as well.

On my drive back to my folks place I see this, and decide maybe we were not on the same page.

Honestly I would give it 4.5/5 tacos, which is a very high rating.

Dude can't even be bothered to change out of his collegiate-sports-team-branded shirt and what I presume are jeans and tennies when he enters God's house...

that's funny. my hs baseball team (buena fighting colts) played a double header on the field behind that sign. think we stomped their dicks (we were pretty salty. had future major leaguer donnie veal on the team.) anyway, i remember thinking it was weird they had copycatted the powercat, tho it's a common practice these days

Little known fact: LHC LHC Bill Snyder leases the powercat out to high schools for $1 a year

Seems like spracs is pretty butthurt that no high schools want to shell out the $1/year to lease the jayhawk logo. I'm sorry friend.

I enjoyed this story. Thank you for sharing. And, some people soak in the college life a little longer than others. No shame, 95.

It's a license, not a lease. JFC.

The license is leased

It would have been awesome if the former football coach was there.

that guy must think you are a complete idiot. When in reality he is the idiot.

I read every line of the OP, and I must say, I enjoyed it.

A quick Google search shows 31 high schools use the Powercat (would be 32 but two schools in TX were fighting over it and one finally relinquished). As for the Jayhawk, you have 3 high schools (It was four but one closed their doors...surely just a coincidence), and two community colleges.
