Done...

Can we vote more than once? One of those dudes already has like 1400, so we’ve got to catch up.

Also...

…I strongly encourage you all to go read Bob Lutz’s column this morning in the Wichita Eagle. While my first suspicion was that Lutz would like nothing more than to yank us around, what he’s saying is entirely plausible. And he took up my argument against Mark May!

You know, I don’t ever say that you should call out amateur athletes, but one that talks as much smack as Deon (without backing it up), deserves it.

Pheonomenal

We put down about 10 pitchers of Shiner watching the Husker game, so I really don’t care anymore. Plus, we may have f’ed up the chance to get the best coach we possibly could get, so it’s just a great time to be a K-State fan.

saw Mangino in that big blue coat today, right?

I told my kids he looked like a dirigible. They go “what’s that?” I say “you know, a zeppelin”.

I had to go to wikipedia.

Just got home. Glad to see Ron isn’t trying to make us look bad by actually winning a few games here at the end.

This is sort of a fly-by post, but hopefully I can stick around a little bit.

BTW, Panjandrum and TB, you have mail…..always wanted to say that.

FSN, I don't want to hear any quotes from Prince...

about how he thinks the program got better during his time here.

We have a f-ing walk on starting at linebacker. We’re going to be 0-9 against KU, MU, and NU after next Saturday. And, worst of all, we’ve never won a game in which we trailed at half since Prince got here nearly three years ago, and that’s a lot of games. He’s won eight games against BCS teams in three years.

Oh, but he’s graduated players. BFD. Snyder did that too. Wooly did that. Frank Martin’s doing that.

Wow, that’s the most fired up I’ve been all night.

there’s a lot of angst here.

i guess i felt that last year…. at the end it was clear how badly Callahan and Cosgrove (his defensive coordinator) had scrwed things up.

good luck you guys. I’ll admit, i’d grown to start hating you guys. but that was because you’d become competitive. i still like those iowa state people. ;)

hate a shiner for me.
