K-State Football
K-State took some time off with the bye week, which allowed Collin Klein time to heal. Let's hope John Hubert got healthy, too.
We don't know which bowl game will be K-State's destination yet, but Freebirds World Burrito is giving away two Cotton Bowl tickets, plus airfare, lodging and meals. If you've never heard of Freebird, it's a Texas-based Mexican restaurant. Definitely worth entering.
Wide Right and Natty Light has a list of famous things that have happened since Bill Snyder was born. Considering that Snyder is 72 years old, it's quite a list.
American Airlines has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Let's hope this doesn't affect AA's direct flights from Dallas and Chicago to Manhattan.
Big 12 Basketball
Kitchen has five story lines from the first few weeks of the Big 12 basketball season.
Big 12 Football
Spencer Hall was on hand for the final Lone Star Showdown, and of course he wrote an awesome post about it.
Conference Realignment
TexAgs is the gift that keeps on giving. Posting under an alias on the site, the CFO of A&M's athletic department called school president R. Bowen Loftin a "putz" and "a hopelessly underqualified puppet."
Also from Kitchen, Louisville is telling its football recruits that the school will soon be headed to the Big 12.
West Virginia has moved to dismiss the Big East's lawsuit against WVU.

Here’s hoping Collin and John are healthy, and Pease has managed to get out of Snyder’s doghouse.

Interesting Craigslist ad for short term employement in Indy Sat. night
Looks like the Big 10 championship game tickets aren’t selling well.
Response email:
Thanks for expressing interest in helping us fill empty seats on Saturday night. We have gotten your e-mail address, and will be sending out details Saturday morning to match the expected number of needed seat-fillers. Our client has asked for discretion about this opportunity, as "seat-filling" is behind-the-scenes aspect of this event production. On the day of the event event, we will designate a parking garage and validate your parking. Seat fillers will be assigned seats inside or near the event close to the event start time. We expect fillers will need to be checked in around 6:30pm on Saturday. The event itself begins shortly after 8pm, and we expect it to conclude close to midnight. You will receive payment at the end of the evening upon turning in the paperwork given to you at the beginning of the evening.
No experience is necessary, and there are no age, sex, or race requirements. We are asking that all participants wear red or dark green t-shirts and/or hats.
This is an exciting opportunity to be paid to see a live sporting event! We look forward to seeing you on Saturday.
The post has now been flagged for removal.
First to identify a TEWWT (so what if it was unintentional)

If true, this is too awesome for words.
I don’t have much experience with Craigslist, so I don’t know how easy it would be to fake something like this, but I can’t imagine that if the Big 10 was really trying to find seat-fillers AND be discreet about it they would use Craigslist.
But, this is just funny enough that I will believe it to be true until proven otherwise.
Would you like some Freys with that?

Funniest thing I've read in awhile.
If true, way to go, Big 10.

On a somewhat similar note...
…I still can’t believe that the inaugural Pac-12 Championship is not being held at a neutral site. And on a Friday night. Blows my mind that a BCS conference would hold a championship game at one of participating school’s home field. Seriously? They couldn’t play at any one of the NFL stadiums on the west coast or at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale? Talk about acting like little brother.
I just realized this earlier in the week, so if this has been discussed or there is a reason its that way this year, then so be it. I just haven’t read or heard anything.
That's all you really need to know about the Pac12.

And
word is Wazzou has hired the pirate. Let’s hope so. I didn’t realize Leach was born in Wyoming and that he is a Mormon (or, at least raised as one).
Let’s hope he goes to WaState.
oh hail the Purple and White
That would be good news...
It would be a shame for that school living in a van down by the river to hire somebody to coach football that actually has talent.

I really think Georgia has a good chance to beat LSU this weekend.
It reminds me too much of 2003.
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 30, 2011 11:23 AM CST reply actions
Agree
And then we will see 3 SEC teams in the BCS. LSU – Bama rematch, and Georgia to the Sugar.
Or, the funniest result of all would be: Georgia wins; Bama and Okie Lite in the championship game, and LSU is left out of the BCS. Laugh riot ensues!
oh hail the Purple and White
The voters will not let LSU fall below #2.
All involved have gone out of their way to figure out how to make Alabama/LSU happen again. OSU would have no chance save the computers.

You spelled it wrong, it's Freeb!rds
Ate it once on my lone trip to College Station in 2008 to watch Josh Freeman and Ron Prince try super hard to let Mike Shermann get back into a game in like a 45-31 win…it was good, much more tasty than the game. A Ryan Tannahil played receiver that game and I took note of how well he played.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
TB and I were at that game too.
And I also remember thinking to myself Tannahil was a star in the making.
I think Freeb!rds is a little overrated. It’s still a good burrito, but it does not live up to the huge hype people build it up to.

yea, notice how I didn't comment on the food any more than the spelling
It is good, but like you say not really much different better than Qdoba/Chipotle…they’re all about the same IMO

Personally
I love De’Leon’s up in Lincoln…now that’s a good burrito place.

I also hope AA's chapter 11 filing doesn't affect
The round trip flights my wife and I booked back in July for a Dallas to Australia flight are affected either…that’s coming up in February (you might not hear much from me during basketball season)
"Nor yet in Dell?"
Unless the restructure completely bombs
you shouldn’t have any issues. They’re obviously not the first airline to file Ch. 11 and obviously won’t be the last. I don’t anticipate there being any material issues. I’ve got a ton of AA miles saved up for an anniversary trip coming up in about 18 months, so I’m hoping my thoughts prove correct as well.
They sent out an AA miles email a few days ago
stating that nobody would lose them. You’re in the clear.

On a sad note, Chester McClocktin dies at age 42
http://www.ruleoftree.com/2011/11/30/2600602/chester-mcglockton-dies-at-42
This is a remider that many of these warriors we “worship” do not live a long life, and they spend years in pain from the pounding they take playing the game.
This is a big reason I believe we should be reducing, not increasing, the number of games these guys play in college and at the pro level.
I also believe they should insitute weight limits for players. No one over 270 lbs takes the field.

Has KSU projected to play Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl in their latest bowl projections…Idk how I feel about that match-up…
by Kohawk84 on Nov 30, 2011 12:44 PM CST via mobile reply actions
I like the challenge of playing Georgia
better them than Arkie, IMO.

Not really -
WR & NL are more like the kid down the block who rides the short bus and is always saying crazy stuff and drooling everywhere and you just ignore it and pat him on the head…because he is that kid.
Take it for what it is and concern yourself no further.

This is actually pretty accurate.
But the best part about acting completely stupid is that you can grope women and they just think “oh well, this idiot doesn’t know any better”.

One guy doesn’t like KSU for some reason, but I’ve had fun with the rest of them.

FARMAGEDDON!
Would you like some Freys with that?
by ChrisP Wildcat on Nov 30, 2011 4:51 PM CST up reply actions
Agreed, Sean
The few times I’ve visited over there I’ve found those guys to be pretty damn funny and easygoing. The one guy was a douche, but the rest don’t take themselves too seriously and just hope for the best for their team. It’s Farmageddon, man, let them toss some grenades if they want. By next week we’ll be pretty much on the same side with them anyway against the rest of the Big-12 teams.
Besides, I always love some good tongue-in-cheek slaps now and then, even at our expense – kind of like that brilliant Barking Carnival one the week of the UT game (actually, their K-State season preview was equally hilarious).
yea they seem to be a good humored bunch and are willing to make fun of themselves
Trying to muster up some hate for Farmaggedon week.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
I have no problem with WRNL.
It’s all in good fun. Troll them back a little bit, like Sean did. Have some fun with it.
We'll carry the banner high!

I don’t think there’s any moderation for the tard carnival there.

If ESPN comment threads had moderators
It would actually be a decent place to discuss sports, there’s actually quite a few more decent folks over there then given credit for.

Remember when during the summer
and realignment talk was starting to pick up, we looked at sites like TexAgs and said that “at least the rambling crazy people on this site aren’t administrators for the school and they aren’t making the decisions”?
Yeah, about that…

To clarify,
when I said “this site” I didn’t mean BOTC…I meant TexAgs. I just realized that could be interpreted differently than I intended.
Unless the crazy, rambling people at this site are administrators too, in which case I stand by my previous statement.
Well, I wrote a post when that ball got rolling...
…that basically said that the administrators at TAMU, not the crazy fans, would make the decision, and thus it was unlikely they would leave.
So, yeah, about that…

Well, Loftin is a putz
For a real laugh riot, read about the first 50 comments in this thread from BON. Hilarious.
My favorite:
"He mentions taping his ankles 4 or 5 times in this post.
I wonder if he tapes his ankles in preparation for a romantic evening at home, too. And before the late night fun begins: ""Mike Sherman asks the question, ‘‘Are you ready?’’ My response is, ‘‘Hell Yeah!’’""
oh hail the Purple and White
$99/4 packs for ISU @ KSU still available
Kstatesports.com doesn’t have an article up about selling the game out yet. Make this happen!
"Nor yet in Dell?"
I already have my tickets
but with a game temp of 30, I doubt there with be a big last minute push.
When life hands you lemons, make grape juice. Let them wonder how the F*ck you did it.
Fight till Hell freezes over and then fight them on the ice.
