N: Kansas has apparently lost its first and second-string running backs to season-ending injuries today. V: Ahahahahahaha, oh come the gently caress on, now. This is getting mean. Edit: V - You got ninja'd, fucker. Spiritus Nox fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Aug 20, 2014 |

So, uh, Kansas has apparently angered the AIRBHG somehow? Maybe Kansas looked at him funny from across that little bit of Missouri? http://www.kake.com/sports/headlines/KU-loses-top-two-running-backs-to-injury-271933171.html?ref=171

My impulse is to cackle maniacally, but honestly, running back is the only position KU has quality depth on. That's really not the worst, though it sucks because both those backs rule, but it's not like those positions haven't flourished under Weis. Unfortunately, it's the only offense the team has. Gee, wonder how you defend against a team that can only run, I have no idea. (WVU didn't anyway.) Actually, I don't recognize either name that's been used as replacement, so it may very well be a bad deal. Could... could it be? 0-12? Has the amazing journey begun?!!

We already discussed that it kind of sucks in Missouri too but there are occasional curves or bridges or...something.

Thermos H Christ posted:Ooh speaking of awesome parts of lovely states, the only time I ever went to Arkansas was to Eureka Springs, which is an offbeat sort of town in a beautiful part of the Ozarks. Went to a multi-day outdoor rave/burn type of thing, had a blast with a bunch of crazy hippies every night, slept and went swimming every day. From what I gather Arkansas is not cool in general but the Arkansas I went to was pretty fun. Arkansas actually has a ton of nice parts - really, the eastern third/Delta part is the only place I don't like driving through or visiting. Eureka Springs is in the nicest part and that's the area that Fayetteville is in. I love West Virginia - beautiful state with gorgeous mountains and fun rivers. I've never seen the areas where they take the top off the mountains so I'm sure there are some ugly parts. I've been all over and the most boring parts are west Texas and eastern New Mexico. Route 285 in New Mexico is just amazingly flat and boring.

Petrino was an rear end in a top hat, but the man knew how to coach an offense and make wizards out of his QBs and you had to respect that. Bielema hasn't done a goddamn thing in the SEC since he joined besides get in stupid slapfights with people and use a player's completely unrelated death to promote his stupid crusade against hurry up offenses. He's an abrasive dick and he hasn't done anything to justify it.

I've driven from Georgia to California twice, and north Texas was easily the worst part of that trip. Just nothing but green/yellow emptiness in every direction for hours, making you think about and question every decision you've ever made in your entire life. At least New Mexico had some hills and rock formations that I could look at.

Texas roadtrips are good if you're between San Antonio and Houston and Austin and stop at a Buc-ee's, which is just a gently caress-off huge gas station store with pristine bathrooms. They're always impeccably clean and they own so much. The bad part about Texas at evening time is that you get bored by hours of flat driving until a deer comes out of nowhere and fucks up your car, as has happened to two of my friends in the past 3 months.

My wife and I drove out to Durango last fall, and there's a stretch of 84 between Clovis and I-40 that is only 100 miles, but it's the most painful 100 miles of absolutely nothing I've ever seen. Made me long for the excitement of West Texas.  Also the speed limit is 65 because there's like 50 people in the entire stretch and the road sucks, and it's full of cops.

It's not really a nailbiter or anything but I thought Baylor/Kansas State was really interesting. Just different offensive philosophies at work and K State completely selling out to stop Baylor's run, which in a way almost worked but ended up killing them.

As someone from arguably the most beautiful state in the union, listening to y'all argue about which part is shittier/shittiest is hilarious. Also gently caress I have to be in Toronto for the Clemson-UGA shitfest. I guess go UGA because I want game day in Cola. But at the same time, gently caress both teams stadium implosion.

Alabama Auburn was obviously a classic but didn't really get good until the 2nd half. NCG was good. I really liked the Big Ten title game and as an added bonus you're a State fan so you could enjoy that all over again. Auburn UGA sticks out too.
