DC already buzzing with Texas whispers that Manhattan is not safe for NBAF
"How will I recruit to Manhattan? Well, distance. And the proud state of basketball. It start there, and then daily flights to Dallas, because I'm really good at going out. Like top five good. Ask my wife. She wants me to be happy."

Dobbs? Dobbs?

DOBBS?!?!

Seriously, has anyone heard from Dobbs?  I'm kind of getting freaked out here.  :ohno:
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Made it through alive. Still no electricity. Wish I woulda been in MHK when it hit.
Sometimes I think of the Book of Job and how God likes to really eff with people.

I heard 50 trees were blown over at Stagg.  Good for them.

not a tornado, but a microburst.  several campus buildings damaged.

i thought it was a tornado there for a second looking into my backyard.  crazy wind

I seriously thought this thing was in the parking long of my apartment. It was so freaking loud. I was just waiting for the train noise.

Worst part is that I'm on the top floor so I was sprinting downstairs trying to take cover. Pretty entertaining in retrospect.

2003 Big 12 Championship banner partially torn on east side of stadium.  Will need to file insurance claim along with 100% blown-away basketball practice facility.

Took a look at the on-campus tree damage today, pretty bad in some spots.

Maybe it has something to do with the number of Iranians that have received their nuclear engineering degrees from KSU that are now doing Allah's work. :dunno:
