@dylans Wow, that’s a lot more fun than I had. I should have just gone straight to the bars.

@tis4tim I think some posters lived there?
My issue is not with our esteemed posters. It is with Lubbock. It’s too bad, perhaps, that my one and only impression of the town is so tainted. It’s probably a lovely college town with many fine, hard-working, salt-of-the-earth types living there. I just had “one of those days” during my stay that was so comically bad even hearing the name “Lubbock” all these years later makes me cringe.

@tis4tim maybe a book or movie

" I didn’t even remember I was wearing the hat. She followed us for about 50 yards yelling “f— KU”. "
There is only one good way to handle those situations…
Point at the jack arse and laugh hysterically. If she continues, laugh even harder, while pointing. I’ve backed down a lot of people doing this. You can watch their stature shrink every second you laugh. And I mean LAUGH… laugh so hard you almost vomit. Lots of hysteria. Gut-wrenching…

@tis4tim I remember a day…it would’ve been in the winter months where they had forecast a dust storm. Outside, it looked like it was going to rain…it was dark, and overcast. And every 2 or 3 minutes, the loudest lightening you ever heard would go off. this went on all day. The whole day. It never rained a drop, but I will remember the weirdest weather day ever spent in my life in Lubbock, Tx. I’ve been through some really terrible dust storms, several tropical storms, 2 hurricanes, tons of tornadoes, but nothing compares with that day in lubbock.

I’d hand out fliers for Farmersonly.com

@KUSTEVE Lubbock doesn’t look like a typical American city. Unless it has built taller building in the last few years, the tallest building I saw was about 6 stories. Secondly, many of the houses are built much lower to the ground than I’ve ever seen. From the street, it looks like a six foot person could touch the roof. Lubbock just had a much different look and feel than any other US city I’ve visited.

@stoptheflop That’s odd. I lived there 8 years, and never experienced that. maybe the lack of tall buildings…but when you move from a little town in Kansas to Lubbock, it was like moving to New York City for me…lol.

@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t think they make Grape students take an IQ test for entrance, do they?

No. There is no one there capable of grading them.
-
@mayjay LOL.

Higgins tonight too!
-
@Fightsongwriter Good luck!!
KU better win.

There’s a sign that say bill self= art briles

Dang, can’t catch a break. Pomeroy has him ranked as the #4 referee in the NCAA.

Observations from my night in the Little Apple
- K-State fans are whiney, annoying, have an alarmingly low BB IQ, and have an inferiority complex the size of the Big Apple.
- That the Admin allows the students to chant F KU all night long shows an extreme lack of class and unconscionable hypocrisy.
- The crowd was far more excited that they played “Sandstorm” than any other aspect of the night which shows why they will never be in our league.
- The arena is nice but basic. The scoreboard is really nice and their sound system is amazingly good.
- There were more KU shirts than I expected.
- Their point guards are really bad.
- Higgins is the worst ref of all time and hell bent on engineering the outcome so the focus is on him. The bogus calls kept them in the game.
- Their bleachers are not flat but concave…a butt catcher, as it were, and quite comfortable.
- Bruce Weber is an idiot for not giving Johnson a touch in the low post every possession. We had no one who could guard him and he only took 7 shots. They win if he attempts 12. Instead their bad guards heave up nervous, ill advised 3’s., and DJ is placed frequently out on the floor where he is soooo uncomfortable.
- My perfect road streak is intact and I would most certainly never go back. Damn they are annoying.
Next stop on the Quest…Norman Invasion in 2018.

@Fightsongwriter Thanks for the on-the-spot report. I think you captured it well.
I always think of this cartoon character when visioning the whiner:
-
@Fightsongwriter did you start the Rock chalk chant? Could u tell some calls were bad? Anyone yell at you?
-
Only arena where I did not hear the chant when we won. But we also bolted at the horn because my client had to be at work at 6:30 in KC.
The calls were blankly horrible and replayed on video.
I was by older folk and families so all was calm. But no one too friendly either.
-
@Fightsongwriter I don’t know if you’re single or not, but some great pickup lines in Manhattan:
You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.
I feel drawn to you. It must be your incredible mass that creates such gravitational pull.
You are so sweet, it made your teeth rot.
You look like trash, may I take you out?
-
@Fightsongwriter being a “song writer” disappointed you didn’t start the chant
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I wrote the lyrics to the KU fightsong so maybe I can get a free pass!
