Since Physicsfaith and a few of his thumper buddies like to quote scripture on this blog, I have decided to post a quote from famous Atheist's every day. Feel free to comment, criticize, or agree. Have fun!

Today's quote:

  "I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires."

                                           - Susan B. Anthony

What's up with Bertrand Street?  It is one on the main east-west streets through town and it has been closed East of campus now for two weeks.  I know they were doing some sewer work for a new apartment megaplex but it's been two stinking weeks now!  Come on!

going pro isn't the right choice for everyone


"Bill WalkerKansas State 
Stats: 16.1 ppg, 6.3 rpg

Walker hasn't signed with an agent, and the freshman should not even be entertaining the idea of turning pro. At 6-6, Walker needs to improve his ballhandling skills and his shooting range to show he can play on the perimeter in the NBA. The former-five star recruit shot 30.7 percent (35-of-114) from the college 3-point line. He also needs to show he can be a more consistent scoring threat. Walker has the ideal opportunity to do all that if he stays in school. The departure of Beasley, who will be the first or second pick in the draft, creates a huge void for the Wildcats. Beasley averaged 26.2 points. Walker isn't going to replace those stats, but he could be the Wildcats' go-to guy and get as many shots as he wants next season."

I see us going 1-11 this year, whats going to happen is these non-conferance jokers ie: N Texas, Montana State will get the playbook Appalachian State used on Michigan last year. So regretably this leaves us with a one possible win over Lousiana-Lafayette and that is only if we catch them napping. We have talent but ron does not know how to put players in the right positions.

I'm surprised no one has brought this up. Awaji appears to be a pretty good shooting guard. Good news for the Cats.

There is a report on cnnsi.com concerning Academic Progress Reports. It says about halfway down that KSU is in trouble of losing 2 scholarships next year.

So if my math is correct from the related article. Prince still has 4 years left on his original 5 year deal. (5 year deal, after 1st year an additional year was added automatically minus the 2 years he has been here =4 yrs left)

I am all for giving Prince a chance. However how does the "new" AD think it is a great idea to reward Prince with an extension and probably pay raise after two mediocre at best season, marked with little or no improvement throughout the season. Let him prove he can win, then talk extension.
