Guess I missed it.  Why are the flags around town at half staff; who died?

So Ned, why are quotes from such famous people such as George Bernard Shaw, Frank Lloyd Wright, George W. Foote, Douglas Adams, Mark Twain, Clarence Darrow, James Madison and Karl Marx so offensive that they must be removed from the forum?? Wow, this is really the hight of censorship! I realize some don't agree, but there is no obscenities, or foul language in any of them. Evidently it is because they go against the status-quo Christian mainstream. Sure is a sad state of affairs when this kind of freedom of expression is extinguished. I will certainly be praying for you!

Just wanted to say that I was walking by this killer ditch today and noticed that the water-front property lines do not actually go all the way up to the water.  That, and it looks like the developer is taking care of the land now and planting grass(or is about to).  So, I'm guessing it's not up to the home owners to make sure that renegade toddlers don't fall in(unless it's their toddlers).

Could mean trouble for KU according to NCAA bylaw 14.1.2 which states:

Validity of Academic Credentials. As a condition and obligation of membership, it is the responsibility of a member institution to determine the validity of the information on which the eligibility of a student-athlete is based. Therefore, it is the responsibility of a member institution to determine whether a transcript is valid for purposes of applying appropriate NCAA legislation to the eligibility of a student-athlete when the institution receives notification, or otherwise has cause to believe, that a student-athlete's high school, preparatory school or two-year college transcript is not valid."

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.
