Can anyone tell me why it's taking so long for the road work on Wildcat Creek Road?  I've worked at Alorica since Sept '07 and ever since around oct '07, there has been road construction going on and have to go past the airport and then  turn right onto Wildcat Creek Road? I drive from Clay Center and take keats road, turn onto Scenic Drive. I used to turn onto Eureka Drive, but since the road construction, have to go past the airport to Wildcreek Creek Road. With the cost of gas, this is very aggravating to have to drive those extra miles. Somedays there aren't even any workers there. The road construction I believe is only a couple of miles. When is this to be completed?

How about a winnig season and maybe even a bowl victory first. Of course if RP goes JF will surely follow. Maybe then Coffman will get a fair look.

Someone asked me what games I think we will win this year...and this is it:

Our 1st 4 games we should win.

Texas Tech-Could go either way
@ Tex A&M-Could go either way
@ Colo-We should beat them
OK-Could go either way OK always loses to a BIG 12 team
@ KU-yes because they lost most of there defense
@ MU-yes because they lost 3 starting OL
NE-Could go either way
IS-We should beat them

We should win a guaranteed 6 games at least...and then all we have to do is take 1 or 2 other games in conference play...we are going to be good this year you will see soon my bloggers...and who cares that our 1st 4 games are easy...Louisville might be tuff but KU had a cupcake schedule last year and they benefited from it greatly.  We should of won more games last year but we lost them because we had some loser players...but those guys are gone.
