Ray Lewis says, No football: Crime will increase across the country.

Cancelling football will increase crime? Because we do not have free will? Or what? Excuse Meh? http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2011/05/23/ray-lewis-makes-controversial-comments-about-nfl-lockout/

“Do this research. If we don’t have a season, watch how much evil, which we call it crime, watch how much crime picks up when you take away our game,” he said.

Superbowl's Superbeau Riche Suffer in Dallas' 5 Inches of Snow; Wildcat Jordy Nelson Helps Out the Pack

The super rich in Dallas are suffering. Indeed, the Superbowl riche throughout the nation are being taxed almost beyond the bearing of it.
The 5 inch snow causing havoc among the superbeau nouveau is truly sad, The Superbowl, our annual Wild
and/or Woolly Baccanalia
for an entire third of the country
is like an antieaster for the Football Faithful. One thousand dollars ($1000.00 to park!)
It does not matter how thug-infested, criminalized, superficial, sexualized, commercialized, or ridiculous the TV Junk Food Beer Bar Football-shaped Cake Day becomes--

But i digress.
The snow in Dallas is RUINING the wardrobe plans many had made for the day.
Jimmy choos in the snow?
I doun think so.
The City

 is suffering in knowing that they may not be able to lay out
the best spread
for their guests,
also heard as
Give me Back my  &^%# Electricity.

Catching up with Jordy Nelson:
Jordy Nelson was a wide receiver on the Wildcat football team from 2005-07. He arrived at K-State as a walk-on defensive back in 2003 but moved to receiver prior to the 2005-06 season. The 2007 consensus All-American set 11 school records during his senior campaign. He was selected by the Green Bay Packers in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft. Nelson recently sat down with the Collegian to discuss a variety of topics, including making the adjustment to professional football.

Q: After seeing the game up close for a couple years, what's the biggest difference between Big 12 and NFL football?
A: I think the biggest difference is there's no drop-off. Week in and week out, teams are good at a high level. I think playing in the Big 12 prepares you well. The speed of the game, I don't think it's that much different. The physicality of the game's not much different. A lot of the guys who play in the Big 12 will be going to the NFL. All the way across the board, the competition level is very high and obviously, the season is long. It still goes fast. It doesn't seem like it's 16 weeks long. Once you get through training camp, it goes fast.


Q: How did it feel to play in your first playoff game?
A: It was crazy, especially the one we played in. Obviously, one of the most points - if not the most points - scored in a game. The atmosphere is amazing. Just the energy level on the field. That's when you notice the speed of the game. It steps up. It's crazy how it does that, but in the playoffs, it's a whole other notch, a whole other game.

Q: What is it like to play at a historic venue like Lambeau Field?
A: It's one of those things that you'll look back on and realize that you got to do. We're spoiled. I mean, we go there every day and get the opportunity to play for that organization. Not being anywhere else, you don't know what you have. Talking to some guys that have come in from other teams, they've said "you don't know how lucky you have it." The coaches take care of you, the facilities, the fans, it's just one of those things. You try not to take it for granted, but it's hard.

Q: I know it's only been a couple years, but do you have a favorite moment so far?

A: I would have to say my first touchdown at Lambeau. It's close between that one and my first one ever. Just being able to get to do that Lambeau Leap. It's the best thing about being there. All the celebration goes out the window and you just have to jump. I don't have to dance or anything, which would be embarrassing. You get mauled and people have to pull you down because the fans won't let you go, but it's a good time. Obviously, it's one way that we're able to relate to the fans that no one else in the NFL can.
Q: Do you get much of a chance to follow K-State during the season?


A: Yeah, I try as much as I can. I had Sean Snyder send me every game film. He sent me DVDs so I could watch them. Of course, up in Wisconsin, I get to enjoy more Big Ten football than Big 12 football, so it's not the most enjoyable thing. He would send me those up and I would watch them, and I think they're improving. They had a good first year and I'm sure they're working plenty hard right now.
Q: What do you think about Bill Snyder being back?
A: I was excited. Obviously, what he did for the program when he first came and didn't leave on terms that he wanted to. We started dropping off, so I think it's good to have him back. Hopefully, he can get us back to where it was and get us back toward the front.

A Wildcat TD.

Pinstripe Bowl Final Score: KSU 34 -Syracuse 36 (K-State Watch Party at the Wareham: K-State Wildcats in the Big Apple)

Excessive Celebration!#* Everyone at the Wareham was grumbling about that. I bet the refs are not allowed to call Excessive Celebration at the FIESTA Bowl... and by the way, while the wildcat put his ONE hand to his head in a salute, an orangeman put his TWO hands into a diamond after his TD.

which one is excessive,

 and exactly why? just curious.

I have a film clip of the syracuse TD hand shaping i will post HERE

Well, 3rd down problems, a few lousy calls,

(HERE) a missed kick, and not stepping up with the superb plays when absolutely neccesary that mark a team of excellence... next year...

and a basketball game tomorrow afternoon.

The Ahearn Fund (http://www.ahearnfund.com/) sponsors great

At this game, there will be Mexican food for purchase- from the new joint that is in the old Doe's restaurant building--El Tapatios.

It is a great space for the game.

[on a date night: Get yourself next door to the Wareham, to Harry's-- for Fine Dining;

it is the best food and prettiest place to be well fed. bring your fat wallet...]

When i get home i will upload a couple videos and pics from today's game.

in the meantime--Here's a couplea OLD vids from the wareham watch parties: click twice to watch larger on Youtube

Seems to me like there are a LOT of bowl games...hmmm. Is it all about money? as long as fans support the bowls, will they continue to expand the offerings postseason? Regardless of the quality of the records of the teams?
 When i was young, there was the Sugar Bowl, The Cotton Bowl, Rose Bowl, Orange---hmmm.
Musta been more than 4. Since there are now 264 post season bowls...

Manhattan's Paddy O'Quigley's Serves Up Some Good K-State-KU Football

The table full of K-State Coeds just yelled, "That shouldn't count!" "That's a basketball pass!"

KU Jayhawks have just made their deepest penetration into K-State territory yet, and
 a quick-thinking falling -down ku quarterback just managed a two-handed forward pass, leading to a tiny little excursion into the Red Zone.
HOWEVER,  a fumble leads to a quick turn-about, a kittykat scamper down the field, and another score! This makes it  45-0.

The crowd here is cracking up at the dour faces of the KU crowd, enormous on the giant tv screens on every wall of Daddy O'Pigglies, our favorite place to watch the games.
 (Clarion Hotel on Ft/ Riley Blvd.)
When you watch football on tv away from home,
you must pick a place that can offer several diversions to get you through 3 hours. You need a menu full of variety; you need competent waitresses- like Mary who is funny, ironic, clever, and can get you all flats in your order of dry spice rubbed wings--GOOD WINGS--and who wore her hair in some great long brown braids tonight.

You need a Fine Date or your good Friends and a rockin' crowd, a newspaper, and i've found it can be really fun to have the laptop and cameras running, just for good measure.
It's fun to watch Coach Snyder get angry after we score a touchdown. Keep pushing for excellence, coach...

Holey Moley, Another Score!

Th ksu momentum in this game started to build after a Wildcat (Harper) juked a jayhawk near the sideline in the first quarter. Our confidence seemed to increase and things just kept getting better.
I realized i was starting to relax, breathing a sigh of relief that we were balancing, overcoming (if not erasing) the
     crushing sadness of last week: HERE.
Oh yeah, we are going to beat KU.
 pause
   to send a snarky text to my sister in lawrence...
a good evening.
After a pregame conversation
of politics, morality, modern crime and the raging insanity of the Congo
with Jared, who manages the joint and takes care of us (and everyone),
we ordered the perfect wings; followed by some nachos and a variety of other tasty drinks and treats.

 The wild women at the next table look like they could be Collegiate Level Rowers: gorgeous, lanky, healthy and glowing, with shiny hair and sparkly eyes.
We like them.
We like the Starbuckstanistas who come to the Clarion to watch the game each week.
We like the fact that they ran out of corona tonight because that means it will be super-fresh tomorrow morning for breakfast-- oh wait! this is not the weekend.....
Work tomorrow.

52-0

5 minutes left to play.
Faces of the K-Staters at the game, grinning and glittery --enormous on the big screens all around us.
