Theyโre so right. Itโs only our societally-collective, but not unanimous, normalized indoctrination, that makes it seem anything other than truly shocking.
We were in the 2010 final and it was a Saturday iirc, so before that. Guessing around 2007??
Of course, with BYU now in the league, itโs impossible.
I see there are fucking TWO active shooter situations today in the US, so far.
I hate it here.
I get why they moved to a Saturday final โ though the committee has proven adept at ignoring Saturdayโs final result equally as well as a game that ends an hour before the bracket reveal.
It just makes the event less enjoyable.
This is the day I really miss:
1) an 8/10/12-team conference, and
2) a Sunday final
when the 4-game extravaganza of good basketball would start in earnest, and on a goddamn Friday. #Big12Tournament
If I werenโt traveling, Iโd absolutely be there. You should go. Joe & Mike are a delight!
Those 28/58 bottom line updates on ESPN *hit*.
And watching NFL Primetime so you could guesstimate how your fantasy football team was doing before having to confirm scorers & stats in the newspaper on Monday morning.
Iโm so happy for Vinnie. I love him so much!
Is caffeine a performance-enhancing drug? Asking for a Vinnie. ๐ค๐ฎ๐น
My personalized Muppet, which, other than having blue skin and eye black on, looks oddly like me โ with the orange hair and all โ wearing a purple toddler-sized Collin Klein #7 K-State jersey from his playing days.
Sat behind Collin Klein at the K-State basketball game tonight. ๐

I am slowly getting murdered from the inside by pollen.
It is far too early in the year for this.

That isnโt even the best pair-of-defensive-gems-in-one-game in Bobby Witt, Jr.โs career.
Between falling asleep on the couch this afternoon and the time change, I havenโt put myself in a position to have a prosperous Monday. ๐ฌ
This relay made me feel things. Dude on Panama was *cooking* around 3rd and it took wall-to-SS-to-catcher perfection to get him out by a whisker.
This is my Mona Lisa.
We all are! This brought me more joy than you could realizeโฆ
On paper, I had, and have, more important things to do today. But I just scoured my fantasy baseball league to determine my keepers and do a bit of draft sleuthing, and hooooo boy was it a rewarding use of an hour of my Sunday afternoon!
Did Bill Raftery just make a baseball reference to Ryne Duren, a pitcher who last played in (googles....) 1965?!?! I think he did.
Don't ever change, Raf!
Seeing Queens in the ASUN championship, my first instinct is that itโs Queens College of NY.
But this being the ASUN, of course itโs not. The places are all made up.
Queens isnโt in New York, and Jacksonville isnโt in Florida.
Iโm beginning to wonder if Central Arkansas is actually in Arkansas.

I am quickly becoming smitten with Junior Caminero. @wardamnmegs.bsky.social what am I supposed to do now
I am sad K-State lost so I am coping with Dippinโ Dots. As nature intended.
I definitely remember 1998 because it was the one I covered as a journalist. They won day 1 and lost day 2.
OK! 2005 - lost to Baylor as a 3-seed.
1997 was also right โ the inaugural Big 12 Tournament. I remembered playing 1-seed KU; I thought it was in the final, but it was the semi. Beat them and lost to Colorado in the Final.
K-State winning the league solo in 2007-8 and losing their first game of the conference tournament? That was fun. ๐
Know what I have *zero* recollection of? 2009-10 Nebraska being an absolute wagon and going through the regular season undefeated.
Theyโre playing โHot Stuffโ in the arena and Iโm sorry thatโs just the @poptartsbowl.com music now.
Iโm sure Iโm missing something. But I donโt remember #KStateWBB even making the Big 12 Tournament final, except maybe in 1997 vs. KU. Maybe during the Ohlde/Wecker years? Not the past 2 years when they were quite good. Itโs kinda remarkable.
Iโll look it up. Gives me something to do between games.
