  They asked and they received. - -Board of regents approved the funds for the Volleyball & Baseball stadium reno.

  But of course you have some clown saying we need to invest this 22 million into the football saying no one cares about these programs lmao.

  News flash time for this idiot to come out of his box, our ladies Volleyball program if not is - then on the verge of becoming one of the better year in - -year out programs , becoming a power. Why shouldn’t they have improvements right? Really happy to see the seating over double current going from 1,300 to – 3000 seating that will be great - -new sound system – audio display – should be really nice. - -we need to support ALL KU athletics. If I were a guy in a position financially to donate our programs I sure would with out a bat of an eye. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  Update: Fifteen is now Tropical Storm Maria. The newest track shows it becoming a hurricane into the Virgin Islands and then a major hurricane when it hits PR on Wednesday. Any hurricane with that trajectory and strength could go on to the Bahamas and Florida or East Coast.

  Update: A number of spaghetti models show Maria spinning off into the Atlantic to the East of the Bahamas. They said that about Irma, too, IIRC.

  Gosh my bad luck, ku football is now 0-8 with me in the stands and I tried to get VB tickets but it was sold out. It was pretty disappointing really, I mean the team that knocked you out of the tournament and you get run outta your own building? Better pick it up,if you want to complete for back to back B12s.

  Oh and ummm how about a game of Badminton anyone? - -Or twiddly winks? - -We at starting to own Kentucky in WHATEVER we play them in, - - We beat them with our Basketball - We beat them here at Allen - - -We beat them at the so Called unbeatable arena with their awesome fans - - -Now we are Beating their ass in Volleyball - - what’s next? - - -Plus I see better things coming for our Football team - -Ahhhh yes, life is good, with the Crimson & Blue - -this pleases me - -this pleases me very much lol & umm ya as always - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  On a related note, #9 KU plays #13 UK in women’s volleyball at 1:00 PM today. The game will be on ESPN3, but since it is in Lawrence it will be likely be blacked out in Kansas thanks to Zenger’s stupid deal…

  F Nebraska and their wonderful fans (@wissox not included in that statement) I’d love to find the wonderful nu fan who sucker punched me after Nebraska beat ku in Lawrence. I think it’d be fun to visit him at his job in McDonald’s.

  @Crimsonorblue22 I like how the article talks about how the new free tuition program is like the one at Harvard. Yep, that is probably about the only comparable school.

  @dylans In Vegas, you’re allowed to get on yourself to either win or lose, can’t bet on round or how, just win or lose.

  @JayHawkFanToo I wouldn’t mind if the Big10 set the pace for these large conferences and went to a true round robin. That’d be 24 games. Nothing wrong with that in my view. It wouldn’t work for football of course, but they could play more than the current 9 that they’re playing this season.

  I heard traffic was bad on turnpike, 3 miles in 40 mins s of emporia.

  I was following the roads all day around the country and did not see too much eclips traffic. But a few hours later, you could see where the path of totality had been:

  Those were some 80 to 120 mile heavy zones!

  @brooksmd When you were here the water was still very high from the flood So fishing then was mostly impossible on our property. That has all receded so the normal summer routine is the MO till hot weather fades. The SWPA generates so much power by releasing water from the bottom of the dam through the generators that the fish 🐟 eat really well & are tough to catch. Also when they sound the horns at the spillway the water 💦 level can change dramatically in a short period of time. think I caught 3-4 total last week. Fall & winter ❄️ are prime time for trophies 🏆 I’m told. February was PDG this year but March is when the rain came. That entirely screwed up the program till the middle of July. Was talking to a neighbor at waters edge one day last week & a beautiful bald eagle 🦅 landed about 💯 yards away on the south side of the lake right at eye level. Nice treat this time of year to see one at all. Was first time I had ever seen one that close. Last winter was common to spot them with the binoculars from the house 🏡 up on the bluffs probably 1/2 mile or more away.

  @brooksmd Actually, I lied. Just having fun with the pun! Didn’t think you would believe me. I am way too effin lazy to use a reel! My “I do” was about knowing what they are. Sorry!

  I have a nice 20 HP Kohler-engined TroyBilt 46" tractor (nice now that the repair place put 46b blades on instead of the 42" they used earlier) and a self-propelled Honda 22" walk-behind. I tried to use a really old heavy reel once and felt like I was pushing a block of concrete through mud. Maybe a new one is lighter and better lubricated, but I don’t think my cardiologist wants me to find out.

  So, the tractor’s key, steering, throttle use, and blade manipulation are all powered by one Mayjay Power (MP), while the Honda’s starter cord and reverse are powered by one MP also.

  The sons were not very good at the mowing thing, so their Grandpa (my F-I-L) did it for exercise. By the time he died, they had moved. Now I am the Grandpa doing it because the next gen is in Hawaii.

  I have mower envy, though. You could ripsnort through my yard in 15 mins.

  Gary was tied for 2nd after the first day. He fell to a tie for 18th on Friday. After a good round Saturday, he is now in a tie for 7th.

  Tee off time for him in Sunday’s final is 1:05 pm CDT.

  He lost one of his unborn twins this spring, and then waited on pins and needles for his daughter to be born. Now he is back on the circuit and doing great. Had a good British Open and is hoping for a strong finish in the PGA this weekend to give him a good position for the FedEx Cup. Go, Gary!
