2016 Resolutions
-
As the midnight hour approaches on 2015 and while some will gather the champagne and others fireworks or tannerite
It’s also time to make a resolution for the new year. Yes everyone wants to lose weight or make themselves better. That’s old school.
Let’s talk this over as the Kansas fans we are.
I for one have decided to be more of a fan than a fanatic. To watch the games with a joyful eye and not be puckered up.
What is your resolution(s)?
-
The Royals taught me patience the last 2 seasons which I now apply to my basketball fanaticism. My son has noticed the change - much calmer demeanor early in the season. However, while at the game last night with my 5 year old granddaughter, she told her mother that she was going to re-cycle me so I wouldn’t be such a sports nut case and I would be shorter…a painful thought since I’m only 5’4". I like your focus on 3015…maybe I don’t need to reform until 3014?
-
To stay up and actually watch the games. It sucks getting up at 4:00 am every day…
To not whine about Self when he doesn’t do the right thing, which means doing it my way.
To read ALL of @jaybate-1.0 's posts (resolutions are never easy)
To not do my happy dance at work any time K-State loses. (my boss and practically everyone else who works here are purple)
To tell my wife that I’m having an online affair so she doesn’t get mad that I spend all my time with YOU guys and gals.

@Paloma thanks for the heads up on my typo.

I resolve to persuade my senior in HS daughter to attend KU where she’s already been accepted. She is ruling it out on the basis that she knows no one there and she likes some other schools better. So I ask, how many times will you have a chance to be on ESPN/CBS at those other DIII schools? NEVER! Where else can you have a basketball team be #1 and a football team be #128?
What other school has a chant that is as haunting, and memorable and beautiful and inspirational as the Rock Chalk chant? My goodness, I’m getting more and more steeled in my resolve to see her attend the Harvard by the Kaw by the moment.Oh and I resolve to be less fanatical about KU hoops, but like all other resolutions, it’ll be broken by January 2nd when we play that idiotically coached highlighter uniformed underachieving team from Wacko.

Figure out why our private oligarchy decided to fund 24/7 UFO history channel investigations INSTEAD OF funding investigations of miracles of God? There is no convincing empirically verifiable evidence of either, but alleged miracles of God make me feel safer and less likely to endorse more oil wars. UFO inquiries leave me feeling insecure and powerless and in need of attacking oil fields.

@wissoxfan83 does she babysit?
-
@nuleafjhawk you giving up “the voice”?
-
@JRyman Purely from a KU fan resolution making perspective. Thats not as cut and dried as the normal stuff as you mentioned.
I think I would like to be more mindful of how the game is played and try to expand my knowledge of the game in its many facets. I need to watch more than just KU games. I try to but Im not always successful at that, mostly because of time constraints but I do have a dvr so its a lame excuse.
-
@nuleafjhawk Naaaah man, dont quit doing your happy dance. In fact, you should post a video of it so we can see the sour faces of your co workers and get a giggle out of it.
-
@wissoxfan83 baby steps man, baby steps.
-
I resolve KU wins the national championship! That’s w/in my control, right?
-
@VailHawk do your special agent magic
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 There is NO WAY that you’re not my wife. Nobody else has that good of a memory. At least when it comes to holding stuff against me. Lol.
OH - NO. Not giving up The Voice. But I will DVR it.
-
@nuleafjhawk I will always remember when you said you are not a beige guy, and don’t drive a beige car.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Stop it - you’re scaring me.
-
@nuleafjhawk how 'bout the fact we live pretty close to each other?
-
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!

I’ll have a chat with the big Guy upstairs and we’ll see what He says.
-
I resolve to have more trust in Ned Yost and to no longer refer to him as a “bonehead”. That’s why he manages and I watch.
Happy New Year BucketHeads!!!
-
@nuleafjhawk I did that for 35 years but can confidently say I can count the games I missed on one hand-even at work Max was there too…RCJH!
-
@brooksmd I thought you were going to call us boneheads.
-
“I’ll have a chat with the big Guy upstairs and we’ll see what He says.”
You have verbal communication with Dr. Naismith?
-
@wissoxfan83 3 of my 4 kids have gone to instate Univ of Ark - Wooo Pig Soieee- or some such idiocy. But! They still wear their KU paraphernalia proudly.
After my college days when I worked for KUAC I had a free pass to games (until IRS got involved and wanted to tax it) and often watched 1st half on TV, walked to AFH for 2nd, squeezed in behind the basket 'cause everyone stood up and pressed in towards center. Was often on ESPN for crowd shots.
Lots of fun seeing the game up close like that!
-
My REAL resolution is to get a tattoo of my avatar this year. And I think all of you should get yours too!!

@nuleafjhawk Chuckle, chuckle!
