I'm social about sports, and not much else...usually. But catch me on a good day and I'll go off on an assortment of randomness. Good luck.

I'm increasingly convinced that we have too much content. We need to return to the days of strong newspapers at the national, regional and local level. No more blogs and cable tv news. Social media is only for posting pictures of yourself/pets/kids/friends and making silly jokes.

K-State's men finish second at the Big 12 indoor track & field championships, ONE POINT behind Texas Tech.

If K-State had a dude who could run the 3k or 200m, they'd have won.

If one of Gary Moore's TWO 17.91m shot puts had gone 17.93m instead, they'd have tied for first.

2cm. Less than an inch.

It was never about fairness in high school sports, it was always about destroying trans people’s lives

Today's date will live forever in Olympic hockey lore.

Haven’t won a Stanley Cup since 1993, and didn’t win Gold in men’s or women’s hockey….

Is hockey no longer Canada’s sport?

I saw this on Reddit but didn't interact there

It's 6, really Wisconsin vs everybody, and it's not even close.

But 5 is my pick for winning "best of the rest" close over 11 & 12. Iowa is the leader, but Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakota's still have a lot of German heritage and can hold their own.

Kansas State fires Jerome Tang | Bring On The Cats Two failed NIL spending sprees and an unhinged rant led Kansas State to hit the eject button early on Jerome Tang.

Can't say nobody saw this coming, although we didn't expect it until after the season For Reasons.

But hey, it got Jon to write something about basketball.

I will never understand why people not only put web connected surveillance that they do not control access to on and inside their homes, but paid a hefty premium to do so. Absolute insanity.

The thing that gets me about immigration enforcement is that I think the punishment for hiring people who are not permitted to work here should be much harsher than the punishment for being one of those workers and paying taxes

Maybe I'm just built different

As a K-State fan, it is impossible to enjoy this even a little bit.
