NU’s top-ranked ‘D’ prepares for MU

"A...night game...That’s a no-brainer,” Pinkel said. “This is great...to showcase this town.”

Which only could or should be done in Columbia under the cover of darkness, with sufficient body armor, strong beer goggles, and always always a round-trip ticket.

KU’s Morningstar suspended

I'm hearing Twilight Zone tones in my ears all of the sudden....

Warrior mentalities

eastTXjayhawk -

Hilarious! Exactly my first thought about the wooden necklaces.

Someone should ask X or CJ if the origin was underneath any new construction projects in the Aloha state. Ole Droopy Dog would throw those things right in the Kaw, given how superstitious he was / is. Glad HCBS just lets these kids be who they are. Rainbow Warriors.

Making a difference

jaybate and Oakville -

If Kansas City, which continually finds ways to kill off funding for its nose to spite its face, can somehow get Moshe Safdie to architect the Kauffman Center - Lew and his Can-do Crew could 'easily' pull off what you're suggesting. AFH would surely attract the likes of Pei, Gehry, or if only he lived a few more years, Jorn Utzon.

There is definitely a correlation to be had between Piano and the Phog. Something like Pompidou is to Parisians as AFH is to the Jayhawk Nation?

Very stimulating posts - not sure how D-Block and Jacque led to this, but maybe Matt Kleinmann will read and lend his expertise.

Here's a short piece from back when Brad left Madison.

KU has new food vendor for games

kw11b2p - Whistled for politicizing this! Non-shooting foul, only because I do have to give it to you, outsourcing is an undercurrent here. But come on, those of us business management types know that you never ever score a big sale (19 year KU athletics contract) and then rest on your laurels without spreading around that success and risk to other clients and services. This failed firm, mid-america, while somehow producing nachos my wife and former ku roommate would kill for, completely missed the rim on how to structure for long-term success. Shot clock violation, turnover to Lew's CT friends (for now). All's fair in business and sports.

Kaun enjoys life in Russia

I agree with you and others that the political slants should (and usually are) left off this board. It's not right to tarnish our free flowing love and commentary for the Hawks with disagreements about values and policies which have nothing to do with the Jayhawk Nation - decidedly free and brave. (Go Sasha - follow your heart and the $)

What I do feel, though, is the opposite of sad. I'm happy to be a Jayhawk who apparently shares nothing politically in common with many regulars on this board, only to find we have so much in common when it comes to our alma mater and favorite school. In fact, if some of us met on the street dressed in campaign colors rather than crimson and blue, I'd bet there would be fistacuffs instead of fist-pumps the other way around.

In a weird way, that is very heartening to me.

Little might start again against Colorado

I vote exhilarating. Jaybate on narcotics makes for the best posting/blogging reads on KU hoops in history. Some more name calling in between his posts would be nice, fuel to keep him going and not ddddrifting off to sleep finally... but not from me. KU fans at the game in Boulder: 4,700. Buff fans: 1,320. Rock Chalk Chant a mile high: Priceless.

Mayer: KU duo must earn it

I agree with gutter and robot - who also have wonderful usernames. We all recognize Mario and Darrell still represented the National Champion team from Kansas at the time of their guilty-upon-ESPN-newsflash felony offenses. What some of us still fail to realize is that ESPN newsflashes come and go faster than Comments from a Mayer article reach 20 posts. Go outside of Kansas City's 100 mile radius and this item is so forgotten that the governor of Alaska would remember a recent Supreme Court ruling (um, Exxon settlement for Alaskans in June?) before it ever came up again.
