You thought we had it bad.....


The state of athletics at the University of Kansas is well, a shambles. The Jayhawks have the highest paid AD in the country ($4 million per) and all that cash has bought them what? A ticket scalping scandal, the firing of their most successful head football coach, a blackmail scheme, & campus ruffians. Many thanks to Doc Saturday for chronicling all that. So the natives might be a bit restless when we head out to Lawrence on September 11th for our game. This probably won't calm their nerves: kick-off is at 11am local time. That's right, an 11 in the morning kick. And you thought we had it bad with noon Raycom games? Who the hell schedules an 11am kick, you ask? Well, Fox does, as FSN will carry the game across the country. So kick for those staying in Atlanta will be noon. But back to Kansas. Toe meets leather at 11 in the morning. That can only mean two things:

1) Kansas fans really don't give a shit about football & thus any tailgating/pre-game activity is unnecessary. See below for a rollicking Kansas tailgate.....

Way to throw down, gang.....

2) We'll simply stay up all night drinking & then make it to the game. We'll be a peach to sit with at that point. What else is a fella' to do?

So bring an alarm clock or your big-boy liver to Lawrence this September......

  1. Have my plan tix and hotel booked. Looking forward to a nice weekend of showing those midwestern types how to correctly drink at a football game.
