OHMYGODOHMYGOD

You think you've seen it all, but then this place...their Sunday special...

"SUNDAY: $2.50 Lakefront Taps & Free Bacon

Here's the deal, spend at least $2.50 get a basket of bacon! We're not kidding - while supplies last of course!"

I think Heaven just opened a kiosk in Milwaukee (Algonquin for "the good land").

Taking bacon to a new level...

I don't have a cool enough cell phone to provide a picture of this, so I'll have to do it with words until someone puts one up...Dixie Cream Donuts in CoMo (on Grindstone next to the Pizza Hut) it currently serving bacon donuts. Specifically, a longjohn topped with maple icing (to help it stick) and crumbled bacon. I tried a sample of one...it was so good I felt dirty. If fact, I had to skip actually buying one and get a bearclaw because I knew if I endulged in such a forbidden fancy, I would not be able to make it through the workday. I will, however, retrieve a picture of said donut and promtly devoure it, so as to provide you all with a complete and scientific analysis of its awesomeness....

Can one name make Huskies relevant?

Can one name make Huskies relevant?

From the WWL, Joe Montana's son commits to UW for 2010. Though this is only one person with a great pedigree, could this recharge a down program?

The state of sports today

Mizzou Grad — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 15:43:31 -0000

While listening to David Lyle (sorry if that's spelled wrong) this morning, he commented on the salaries of coaches in the college ranks, and how that may be negatively impacting the availabilityof other sports to function. Considering that more of the big name programs in the world do not receiveanything but token funding from their general campus allotment, one would think such would not be an issue, at least not in a long range fashion. Well, one would think. However, I discovered that U. Northen Iowa has dropped their baseball program, to save 1.4 million (or so).

Now, well all can say that there is trouble in the state's budget, from moderate in Indiana and here in Missouri to outright panic in California. Also, and I think I may be in the minority for this, but Title IX may be more of a hindrance to schools than it was when it was passed. So, I pose this question. Should the athletic community as a whole, and for specific examples Missouri, attempt to alter the financial landscape in which it operates? Additionally, in a time in which no program is safe (examples given on KFRU are that ISU and Colorado both dumped baseball during good academic times, and dropped swimming and wrestling, respectively, as well), should MU consider removing any of theirs? Finally, should Miles Brand (is he still in charge?) and NCAA beginning to globally regulate the amount of money that the big named programs are allowed to spend? And though this is not to the level of revenue sharing, should that be considered?

I'm hopeing for a lively discussion. However, I'd like to point out about the questions...I'm not a journalist, I'm a scientist. My knowledge of sports goes so far, so if you can educate me, that'd be wonderful.

Big Pimping with the Big 12

Big Pimping with the Big 12

Through various methods, mainly a large stable of fine looking ladies and a good TV contract, the Big 12 is rolling in the Benjamen's. However, some of the non-revenue teams may get axed in a move of complete panic. The WWL has the story.

Possible doom in Lawrence

Possible doom in Lawrence

I saw talk of this on the P-D Mizzou page, then saw this post on the Beakers corner. Much like the posters in the comments section, I really hope this is a bunch of BS coming from bored folk. Otherwise, something may have hit the fan.

Griffin going Pro

Griffin going Pro

Some of the wind fell out of OU's athletic sails today as Blake Griffin decided to give the NBA a shot. Don't know if he's hired an agent, but but he needs to find himself a good tailor. KU and TU now angling for the prospected top spot in the conference going into next year.
