But after that comes what could very well be No Wins Land: Baylor, Texas Tech, at Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, at Texas, at TCU, West Virginia, Kansas State.

Basically, we’re running out of weeks in which someone might pick KU to win a football game. But one man in our pick ’em group was brave enough to do so this week. Find out who, and get a break from thoughts of what lies ahead for Kansas by thinking about the best concerts you’ve ever seen — thanks to our question of the week.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
——————–

**Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon said this week an AC/DC concert at Wrigley Field “messed up the infield.” What’s the best or most memorable concert you’ve ever been to?**

—

Last week: 3-3 | Season: 14-4

> I can’t think of a concert that stands
> clearly above the rest that I’ve been
> to, but one of the more memorable
> bands that I’ve seen live was the Blue
> Man Group. I wasn’t all that excited
> for the concert beforehand, but it
> ended up being a pretty cool show with
> how they incorporated members of the
> audience.

Last week: 4-2 | Season: 13-5

> Willie Nelson’s 4th of July Picnic in

Last week: 5-1 | Season: 13-5

> Neil Young, Sprint Center, April 30,

Last week: 5-1 | Season: 13-5

> I saw standup comedian Steve Martin
> perform, which counts as a concert
> because there were 7,000 or so people
> there. It was not today’s Steve
> Martin, the banjo guy/OK actor guy,
> but the back in the day Martin whose
> concerts were a happening.
>
> As far as the more traditional
> music/concert genre, I’d probably have
> to go with Alice Cooper at a sold-out
> Chicago Stadium in a close vote over
> Billy Joel at at a sold-out Sprint
> Center.

Last week: 4-2 | Season: 13-5

> U2 at Cleveland’s Municipal Stadium.

Last week: 3-3 | Season: 12-6

> I’ve seen Paul McCartney twice (and
> loved the ever-living heck out of it
> both times) and seen both of John
> Lennon’s sons (Julian and Sean) in
> Denver, Lawrence and Kansas City. But
> the best concert I’ve ever been to was
> also my first and it came at Mile High
> Stadium in Denver in 1994, when I saw
> Pink Floyd from the second-to-top row
> of the stadium. My dad, step-mom and
> step-sister were on the floor and we
> talked after the concert, which was
> incredible in every way, about how we
> saw two very different shows. Theirs
> was a much louder, in-your-face type
> of experience and my buddy and I were
> able to hear and enjoy the music while
> also taking in the full spectrum of
> the crazy cool light show that
> accompanied their music.

—

Last week: 4-2 | Season: 11-7

> Asleep At The Wheel.

—

Last week: 4-2 | Season: 11-7

> AC/DC at Wrigley Field last week

—

Last week: 1-5 | Season: 8-10

> I don’t know if I’ll ever see a better
> live show than when the Watch The
> Throne Tour came to Sprint Center a
> few years back. It would be amazing to
> watch Jay-Z live on his own or Kanye
> West live doing his thing. This
> concert had them both. Each performed
> solo tracks and teamed up to do stuff
> from their compilation album. Ball so
> hard. If you were in or near Kansas
> City that day and didn’t see that
> show, you should regret it. Unless you
> don’t like hip-hop. Then you’re
> probably fine.
