Well guys , you all know I have been here for a minute now. Had some great threads from people , had some discussions - - some heated - - some not , but after the news I received today all seems minor.

My wife is on Oxygen 24/7 - -has really Severe COPD & forgive me for the spelling as that is not one of my great strengths & but the wife also has emphysma again sorry know that’s not right

Well she went to the lung doctor the other day , has been saying her lungs sound good , so she comes home and a little later phone rings and it’s the Lung Doctor himself asking the wife if she had some minutes to where she could talk. You have to know when the specialist himself calls – not one of his staff , but the Doctor himself - - it can’t be good.

So he proceeds to tell her that after she left he had went back through all her hospitalizations & Dr visits & treatments he was checking cause he said as severe as her COPD is – her emphysma should be just as bad and it wasn’t anywhere close. Soooo he checked some things and told her - - she has a diease & it’s an incurable diease But he wanted her to take a blood test as she had never been tested - - she has it but he wants to see how bad , test her to see if it turned positive or negative to the degree so they could figure out their next step to try and fight/and or control.

So she took the test yesterday , they said if it comes back Negative then they can help control through medicine. If it comes back POSITIVE- - - - - not good , then chances are she will need a liver transplant. - This is called ALPHA -1 has something to do with the liver not filtering out CO-2 like it should , so if she needs a liver transplant more likely then not - we all know how long of wait that can be and the whole process

So I guess what I’m really saying is - -if you feel it in your heart , if you believe - -we could sure use your prayers / – your thoughts. Really puts life and every thing else into perspective makes you realize there are bigger things in life then sports. - -makes for some long days - - don’t know what I would do if something happened - -would be lost , she is quite a bit younger then me - - I’m 66 - - She is 53. - -should find out the results in about two weeks - -gonna be a long two weeks. - Thanks for listening my friends - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Whew , just got through watch my boys on Sunday Night football . Packers/ Saints - - Both teams with out their top receivers. We got the W 37-30. it was up and down the filed all night.

Was about to crawl right through my screen when GB went for it on 4th & 1 on their own side of the 50 - I already KNEW they were gonna get stuffed short - - & they did. - -Luckily for us/GB Z smith forced a fumble we got the ball back and made New Orleans pay - sweated it out entire game

Big win on the road - -makes us 3-0 with 2 out of the t3 on the road - -Another big game next Monday as we got Atlanta at home should be another Huge game - -welp a win is a win I guess

Aaron got the team really rolling 43 points - - 42 points- - & 37 points not to bad . Now get to watch my other boys tomorrow – your KC Chiefs and ANOTHER GREAT TEAM - -should be fun to watch. - -ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

Not a big fan of that last play from KC. - - WHY are you throwing the ball when you have a 4th & 1 with 0:28 seconds left in the game and Baltimore is out of timeouts & your up 34-20 , instead of just taking a knee on 4th down and the clock running out ? - - think they could of run a better choice of play to end the game

Just got through reading an article with Michael Osterholm , the Director of the Center for Infectious Disease.

He Stated that they feel that in September when High School level and in the College & Universities that we are going to see an Explosion of Cases that will far surpass what we saw after Memorial day.

He States that for us to really control the Virus that we need a more strict 2nd lockdown for 6 weeks to where we have the virus contained to like ONE case per thousand individuals.

Case have risen up to 40 % in young children , they said not sure how much to put into that because of possibly more testing and that young for sure are carriers but more possibly A symatic - -I know - -I know thats not the way to spell tht so sorry but anyways

@kjayhawks said in 2020 CFB Updates:

@jayballer67 I’m still pissed they canceled March Madness for a fraction of the current cases. Heck they want my kids back at school even tho we only had 2 cases in my county when it changed to online. Now I think there is 20 or so…

ya this crap is getting old . - -Read where there are a lot of Athletes banning together an saying they want to play, saying in a way in the end they want to form a College players Association - -not sure that’s gonna happen - -Also heard they now think there will be a THIRD WAVE of the COVID-19

I dunno , could be mistaking but to me just seemed like the Chiefs came out flat , just plain pure simple flat.

They got lucky , can’t afford to have those types of mistakes later in the year. Good team to be able to play that flat and still find away to win the game. - That’s what good teams do. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well just got through reading article from the WIBW web site here in Topeka , and I’ll just say surely people didn’t think that this Corona Virus was just going to go magically away. It’s not going to go away for awhile and after reading some of these responses - -actions just verifies WHY it’s not. - -Whether people want to realize or not we are spiking again and even confirmed by Health agencies. - -here is what I’m talking about Governor said she was afraid this would happen.

The article talks about more and more schools having outbreaks and circumstances here they are :

El Dorado High School : Quarantines their Soccer team after cases.

Haysville & Derby Quarantines their football teams after cases now here is one reason this won’t go away because of the actions: - You have a High School that Quarantines the Football team because of the virus BUT YET says they are going to play their Football game Friday night - - - - Genius

Atwood School: moves their classes to remote after cases

Abilene : All classes suspended for 2 weeks after 4 adults tested positive and 4 others waiting results on their tests.

Winfield High : - -All Volleyball practices & Matches Suspended after 2 students tested positive

Fort Scott High: Football suspended for two weeks

Independence: Football suspended for two weeks

Chanute : Cancelled Football ( So here is another reason this won’t go away - - - Cancelled Football but yet continuing classes going against the recmendation of the State re-opening guideline - - ( Another Genius decision )

Rosevelt Elementary in Ark City : banned in person classes for two weeks after positive case

Francis Willard Elementary in Ark City : Suspended in person classes for 2 weeks after positive

In Johnson county over 100 people who had contact with Positive COVID told they needed to Quarantine for 14 days -have Parents objecting about Quarantine - -THIS is why this isn’t going any where. - - -People just don’t gave a crap anymore , would much rather these kids go ahead go to school get infected with this crap just as long as they are out from underneath parents feet. - -THIS is why this is going to continue.

We are only going to see this get worse. More Schools High School & elementary as long as this goes on like this - sooner then later your going to see schools going to shut down - - AGAIN and be 100 % on line - I’m telling you - - watch it’s coming if this by irresponsible parents don’t get their crap together - -going against recomendations is bullshit - -how stupid are you ? -You play stupid games - - you win stupid prizes.

The State now since the beginning of this is up to 53,959 cases - - & 600 Deaths - - for a State the size of Kansas - - that’s insane - - -just fro the Weekend we had 1,674 NEW cases and 4 more Deaths -doesn’t matter how you try and twist that - - -THAT is a Spike

@stoptheflop said in GAME DAY:

Does anyone else get the impression that Coach Miles is disconnected and unenthusiastic about this team? His tv interview before the CC game was embarrassing. He couldn’t think of much to say and seldom looked at the camera. While I don’t like over-enthusiastic statements and hyperbole, it would be nice for a head coach to talk up his team with some confidence. The interview reminded me of Charlie Weis and his downbeat, ready to slit his wrists interviews with the media.

Coach Miles is horrible with interviews , just dosn’t do well. - -Some have brought up even from interviews that maybe something with him health wise - - just so dry. - - BUT having watching him in that series off what was it - - ESPN plus , if you watched him sometimes with the players and how he connected and enter mingled with them - - you could see he has a really good connection with them - -he has some fire in him for sure - -just bad with interviews

Well it doesn’t look like I’m going to be far off. I had KC like either 34-21 - - or #7-21 not to bad lol

well that’s kinda what I had figured or guessed earlier in the night/thread

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020-21 Non-conference Schedule:

There’s a rumor floating around that the Champions Classic could be a round robin in a bubble. dook is going to be really good, but UK and MSU will be down slightly. Could be a good opportunity for us to make up some ground in this deal.

ya I read where it looks like KU will be in Orlando for the Champions Classic & then again for the Wooden Legacy. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

we will see what happens this week , a lot of visiting teams looks like should win.

playing in a contest for a trip for two to Hawaii - - - Not going to win but still fun , not doing TO bad I guess. When you look at my rank might look not so god but better then quite a few others lmao.

Nationally I’m 4,929th - -I know Whaaaaa? lol but that’s out of 48,862 entries - - so not THAT BAD lmao

Congrats Patrick!

dam wonder who daddy is lol - -I know Patrick would NEVER engage in any funny business hanky panky before he got married - - lol, I’m just playing here nothing serious by any means just horsing around

@approxinfinity said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":

This is a good old fashioned ass kicking from where I’m sitting.

find me a chair so i can see what your seeing lol. - -Cause what I see you got dum - -then you got dummer lmao - -both pathetic pieces for sure - -Lord help us

@FarmerJayhawk said in "Does anybody have any idea what this clown is talking about?":

Calling it basically a draw. It was such a shitshow it won’t change anyone’s mind, both campaigns basically got the social media content they wanted, and that’s that. Only 6% of viewers said they tuned in to see who they were voting for, and I bet they all stay home. There’s no way you can watch that raging trash fire and think either one is up for the job.

Hell I think I might just vote for myself as a write in lmao - -these two choices is , wll just shows how low things have become in this country

@Kcmatt7 said in Baltimore Beat Down:

Lamar is a talent. But he’s not Mahomes. I don’t know how anyone who watches the actual games can think otherwise.

I think Lamar will have an issue winning the big one because he can’t throw the ball. If I was Baltimore, I’d be drafting nothing but OL and defensive players if I was sticking with him. With Lamar the only way they are winning is old school. Elite running game and an elite defense. He’s just not an elite passer and you can show me stats but my eyes tell me something different.

What i think is , even if Mahomes and the Chiefs should be behind , Patrick’s composure - -his whole de-meanor is just unreal. he just walks up to the line of scrimmage and it’s like OH ok you scored? - -NOW it’s my turn - - match this - -totally like no biggie.

I was watching Get up or whatever it is this morning on ESPN and they were talking and comparing Patrick to like Lebron in Basketball. - - Patrick is the Lebron of football , he makes really good players better/great players. - Saying IF Patrick wasn’t there would Hill be AS good – would Kelse be AS good etc. - -they say don’t get me wrong these players are really good BUT Patrick is the PG makes them even better

Like I said before , I think the only way your even going to have a chance to beat KC is - - your going to have to outscore them - -you best score every single time you have the ball. - Like they said cause it seems like it really doesn’t matter you can start KC on the ONE - -you can start them in the back of the enz zone - -they gonna score - -they making it look to easy

Surprise lol

Not a big fan of that last play from KC. - - WHY are you throwing the ball when you have a 4th & 1 with 0:28 seconds left in the game and Baltimore is out of timeouts & your up 34-20 , instead of just taking a knee on 4th down and the clock running out ? - - think they could of run a better choice of play to end the game

@stoptheflop said in Baltimore Beat Down:

Doesn’t the OU 55 seem way low? I would think 70 or more.

Actually for me I think that’s pretty spot on. - - I was thinking like 34-21 or 37-21 KC
