Football
Run to the ball and tackle. That's probably a pretty good basic philosophy for a defense.
After an injury forced him to redshirt last year, Aubrey Quarles is back in action for the Wildcats.
Bryce Brown's dad, Arthur Brown, Sr., is considering a lawsuit against Tennessee and head football coach Derek Dooley to recover the cost of Bryce having to pay his way at K-State after Dooley refused to release him. I generally don't advocate threatening lawsuits as a way to get what you want, but at some point Dooley's gotta wonder if this stand is worth it.
K-State checks in at No. 9. OK, so that's in Dr. Saturday's BlogPoll ballot, which is based only on performance thus far and dispenses almost any pretense and using preseason expectations. Oh, you beat UCLA? That's better than the 80 percent of the country that played Sun Belt or FCS teams.
Other
After benching starter Kale Pick last week, Turner Gill will start his backup, Jordan Webb, against Georgia Tech. The trainwreck continues.
Finally, if you're in Manhattan and can get to campus tomorrow around 11:30 a.m., I will be joining a panel discussion on the media's coverage of conference realignment this summer. The panel will include Tim Fitzgerald of Powercat Illustrated/GoPowercat.com and Austin Meek, the K-State beat writer for the Topeka Capital-Journal. It will be held as part of Steve Smethers' Mass Communications in Society class, at 11:30 a.m. in Umberger Hall 105.

Sorry TB, but 1130 is the one time on Tuesday/Thursday I have class
Otherwise I would be delighted to go. Darned.

So this is party of Mr. Smethers’ Mass Comm class? Does Mr. Burns approve of him going to Manhattan from Springfield?

Dooley is punishing a teen for being immature???
News flash, all teens are immature at times. I know Bryce didn’t handle this perfectly but how DUMB is the NCAA system if a student is enrollling in a college and they say the college can’t give him a scholarship because a former coach (di*khead) has HIS feelings hurt? He’s trying to educate himself you morons!! I don’t care how he acted in the past, a punishment is more immature than Bryce’s actions ever were. As a high school and college teacher I will never agree with this.
Get ready to roll...Go Cats!
The NCAA is a racket
The exploitation of these kids is terrible, and as one who has been around awhile, there are times when I feel guilty for supporting it. If life in general these days wasn’t so frickin miserable – with college sports being one of the few outposts where one finds a little pleasure – I would give it up. That’s my rationalization.
oh hail the Purple and White
Wow, that's pretty cool
So did you get the invite based on your many insightful articles on the subject dating back a year before the crisis even began? Because that would be cause enough for me to invite you if I was teaching a class like that.
Make sure you address a little phenomenon I like to call the “Chip Brown Paradigm.” Kids need to know about shit like that.
That's pretty much Panjandrum's brain child.
TB’s our legal analysis guy.
And he’s kinda our boss, I guess. But I don’t salute.
Your insubordination is reflected in your paycheck
It helps that I had class with the professor once or twice and we’ve stayed in touch since I graduated.
Also, The Adventures is all Pan. The most credit I can claim for it is that he bounced ideas off me during a long Gchat before the first one.

I knew I had it backwards some how.
I guess I just forgot the author due to the length of time between now and the last adventure (*hint hint). Legal analysis guy? Does that mean he can decipher an MOU?
I have to be inspired for the Adventures stuff to come out. Nothing has inspired me as of late.

Unfortunately, now that I'm...
…a real lawyer, I have to kind of keep my legal opinions to myself. I can still use the analytical and argumentative skills I learned, but there won’t be any in-depth analysis of KSU v. Prince here at BOTC.

Please, we all know lawyers don't have souls
You can do whatever you want. Well, except for check yourself in a mirror. Boy that would be weird. Walk past a mirror and you see nothing.

He's fresh off the bar....
give him a year or two to get jaded and tell you his opinion on everything, whether you want him to or not.
The question is where did he go to law school?
Washburn= No he can’t decipher a MOU
Kansas= well we know better than that
UMKC= MOU= Make Off Undetected (mob lawyer)
UofMichigan= He wrote the MOU in his intro to writing class, lost it, and Ron’s lawyer found it on the internet (me bias? never.)
Ivy League = Fine as long as he went to Yale, Harvard is for hippies
UTAustin= I just threw up a little in my mouth
NULincoln= Don’t they just draw at 10 paces still?
I could go on but I need to finish some things so I can go prep for tomorrow. Wish I could have made the talk, how did it go?
Nope....

To answer your question...
…the University of Houston.
Pretty good analysis otherwise, though, although my preferred school would have been UT.

I really enjoyed the talk
It was good to hear from Tim Fitzgeral, Austin Meek and TB. I wish I had my notes from the talk but something that stuck with me was how all three had a really good view on how Twitter made the whole thing such a news fiasco. Meek had a good point (that I agree with totally) that there is now too much information out there and it is very easy to get overwhelmed (particularly because of the onslaught of twitter comments). Fitz made the point about how Twitter from reporters doesn’t have the same accountability and fact-checking process as regular news and that made seemingly competent reporters sound like a fool because their stories changed every 5 minutes.
It was great. Thanks again for letting us know TB.
