    Stoops on SEC officiating...

    But we know there is a less than slim chance this actually happens, probably because they're too hooked on conference money and don't wanna rock the boat. Coaches are in a better position to mobilize the media and fanbases and, while I'm sure they appreciate the conference money aren't as...

    Saw This On Twitter…#RetireTheBanner

    When we first went with the banner M, I remember not liking it because it looked too much like what OM was using at the time, though not for football I don't think. It was a while back so might not be remembering correctly. Now I think it should be retired because several other universities use...

    Pittsburgh Recommendation

    Don't have a specific recommendation, but Pittsburgh has made drastic changes for the better over the last 20 years. It's a wonderful city. Catch a Pirates game, tickets should be cheap this season. And if you like the movie The Deer Hunter, the US scenes were filmed in a small mill town called...

    I’ve Wondered This For Sometime

    Who else did you see; did Kansas draw a good crowd? I graduated in '02 and in my 4.5 years there were a few good size acts that came to the Hump.

    I’ve Wondered This For Sometime

    My dad saw Bruce Springsteen at the Hump in February 1981 on The River tour. The Boss was nowhere near as big as he would get after releasing Born In the USA, but was a big act, especially after the Hungry Heart single. Not that that has anything to do with DWS or the Cotton District Arts...

    Check your or your child's collection of Dr. Seuss

    If it weren't for a store called by the same name, we'd have been SOL when it came time to buy minnows and nabs in Rosedale.

    Disdain for Vic Schaefer

    Did wonders for the WBB at State and moral of the fanbase. Always will be grateful for that. At the same time, he also had a used car salesman vibe. Albeit, one of the best used car salesmen in the bidness. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Unless there is.

    Obligatory 17 the turf around home plate post.

    Abso-17in-lutely. Why, just why would anyone think that crap looks good or plays well? Thankfully, I never had to play on it when I was coming up, but that was also the mid/late 80's to early/mid 90's and pony league was as far as that train went for me.

    Tanner Allen

    This. Though I don't think they're nearly as annoying as the baseball pants down to the cleats people have been wearing and lengthening since the era when Griffey Jr. was prominent.

    Jim Ellis already in midseason form........

    I'm glad to read the comments praising Jim Ellis. To each their own, but I was surprised by some of the negative comments yesterday, one of which seems to have been removed. Jim is a connection to a world, broadcasting or otherwise that scarcely exists anymore. In some ways, it's become like any...
