What happens when this $@%#! Texas State / Rice game doesn't get over until 9pm? Can we watch elsewhere?

@kjayhawks you're preaching to the choir, my friend. Money is PM's true love now. His game will never be the same.
@COHawk Loyalty is dead
Oh well.
Our QB makes more money than your QB
@kjayhawks I feel like He could help!
Townsend should be the starting QB
@kjayhawks nope. But still averages over 100k per pass, so he's happy
@Crimsonorblue22 I want world peace. My wish has a much greater chance of happening than yours.
@approxinfinity Merry Christmas! This site is a gift for all of us Jayhawk fans and I'm thankful that you have put in all the time and effort to make this a fun place to cuss and discuss all things KU!
You are much appreciated 🙏
@wissox if it's a Lionel brand, you can send large checks to ALL of us!
I watch Antiques Roadshow!
@wissox she's shrewd! Testing you! Sounds like you passed!
@dylans zackly what I was thinking! Guess we need to get our minds out of the gutter.
@dylans Yes! Great reminders. In similar fashion, if you're ticked off at someone (hate, even?) it is imperative to forgive them. It's a little gift for them - even if they don't care - but it really helps to bring you peace.
I'm ashamed to admit that, generally speaking I've been a bit of a scrooge at Christmas over the years. I have no reason, I'm very blessed. But I've really made an effort the past few years to be more upbeat and positive.
One thing that has helped is actively looking for good things. I would love to hear your Christmas story. What's the best present you've ever given /received? Maybe a Christmas reunion with family or friends? A travel story that turned out well.
I'm SUPER excited to give one gift this year. My son, who is very musically inclined, just started playing guitar this year.
Three years ago my wife and I saw Carlos Santana in concert at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. A few days later a friend of mine showed up with an envelope. She has a relative who works at the House of Blues and had asked her to grab a little souvenir for me because she knows I have a thing for Santana.
It was a guitar pic that he used the night we were there! (I know, but it's a big deal to me)
My son and I saw Santana the next year in KC and he loved them too.
I always address my presents in a silly way, like "from Donald Trump " or something absurd. This year I have it signed "from Carlos Santana ".
And it is!!
@dylans that's the craziest "late" story I've ever heard.
Prior to this, it was my dad. He received a birthday card from a granddaughter exactly one year late.
Yay Post Office.
@FarmerJayhawk I'm sorry about that, but at least you still have your contacts if you need them...
Hope you have a great trip and holidays!
Another peeve:
Ordering Christmas presents on 12/11 and being told they would deliver on 12/13, only to find out they're going to be here on 12/27. Merry Christmas Amazon 😡🤬😡🤬
@mayjay Lance Leipold - "What's a portal?"
@benshawks08 I'm not normally a big stickler on the mask thing. Wear em. Don't wear em. I don't care. But for the circumstances you're describing - wear em.
Having said that, there have been several people at my workplace who have had covid and don't wear the masks for the required 5 days when they come back to work.
I'd like to punch them, but I don't want to get close enough to do it.
@Zabudda If you're the grieving mother, my heart goes out to you. It's so hard to speak to someone under those circumstances. You want to express love and concern, but probably nothing you say is going to help.
@approxinfinity The leaf blowing thing tells me you must not live in Kansas. Or at least my part of Kansas. Flippin 40+ mph winds are the only leaf blowers here today.
@BeddieKU23 I like the TV in my living room.
@kjayhawks and you called Bill Self and told him to get his butt to wherever you are....
I see the NFL has fined Mahomes $50,000 for his outburst against the Bills. REALLY??? How is he ever going to be able to afford that? As Chief's fans, I strongly feel that we should chip in and help. A Bake Sale! Or a Car Wash!!
We cannot let the NFL take away this man's livelyhood.
@BeddieKU23 You know how much KU coming to town means in Stillwater? Zip. Zero. Nada. Nothing. Next time we play there, watch the crowd. Maybe 3,500 on a good night. They must have a LOT going on in Stillwater besides watching top ranked Basketball.
@rockchalkjayhawk So, you'd rather have Toney fumble than drop passes? :grinning_squinting_face:
@DCHawker Merry Christmas to us! K-State sucks in basketball and their whole football team is bailing.
@AsadZ Toney needs to be an ex-Chief.
@Crimsonorblue22 it's how I cope!
Chiefs are done.
@jayballer67 I wonder if Bill is aware of this?
Glass half full - this team keeps me humble.
@Crimsonorblue22 who?
@FarmerJayhawk Amen. Netflix is awful
For those of you who like a sure thing....bet everything you own that every time we play a game, someone will have a career game against us.
Some of you will take serious offense to this. Sorry in advance.
I can't stand pompous, arrogant prixs like Dickinson. He should play for Duke.
I thought I was getting too much sodium in my diet. Not enough exercise. I can tell you right now it's not that stuff. It's this team causing my high blood pressure.
Can I sue KU?
My number one pet peeve :
Being ranked #2 in the country and getting the living ship stomped out of us by a flippin nothing team.
@jayballer67 Prayers for your close friend, Dave. I declare that whatever he's up against, it's no match for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Back in the day we sang a song in church with these lyrics:
Whose report are you going to believe? We will believe the report of the Lord.
His report says I am healed.
His report says I am filled.
His report says I am free.
His report says VICTORY!
@jayballer67 , believe His report for Dave.
Can I add to my own list?
I don't listen to the radio much anymore, but when I do and they cut the last few seconds off of a song....😡😡😡
@mayjay Wow!
@kjayhawks Good stuff. That's a great attitude. 👍
As far as people wanting you to do free automotive repair....maybe they just aren't thinking? Would they expect doctor friends to keep them healthy for no charge? By and large, we don't have a barter system anymore. Missouri is the exception - you can still exchange moonshine for a foot rub (or you fill in something else).
@DanR OMG Yes
@mayjay I sure could have overlooked it...
@mayjay You must have a nervous breakdown when I type - cuz I ain't got no good English.
@mayjay Those are (were?) the names in the KU Football Ring of Honor
@mayjay I feel like we're solving some huge problems today. This has been a good day. And tomorrow morning, the carafe will be touching the cup.
@dylans Tony Sands, Nick Reid, Gilbert Brown, Larry Brown, Anthony Collins, Nolan Cromwell, Bobby Douglass, Ray Evans, John Hadl, Chris Harris Jr, David Jaynes, Bruce Kallmeyer, Curtis McClinton, Mike McCormack, George Mrkonic, Willie Pless, Tod Reesing, Gil Reich, John Riggins, Gale Sayers, Otto Schnellenbacher, Oliver Spencer, Darrell Stuckey II, Aqib Talib and John Zook
These guys would probably take exception to that. There have been a LOT of good times and memorable moments there.
@approxinfinity Yes. And it's getting worse. People are so disconnected. I'm not sure what part of the country you're in, but it doesn't seem as bad here in the midwest (?). One place i've noticed that people seem generally friendly is on a cruise. Everyone's on vacation - why wouldn't they be in a good mood?
