Barspotting: Stadiumspotting Sunflower Showdown Style

Memorial Stadium

Yes it’s road trip time for some of us here at KCCGD.  Look for some tailgating wackiness and a healthy dose of live football video action this weekend as we hop on a bus and make way for Memorial Stadium.  It’s Sunflower Showdown time as the Kansas State Wildcats travel to Lawrence to take on the Kansas Jayhawks.  Both teams took a whooping last week and really lost in the same style:  giving up the ball.  We here at the KCCGD won’t turnover the coverage this weekend as we look to see some sweet pre-game action and pray that this week’s game is a little more than competitive.  At any rate, it should be a blast and am sleeping just a little extra this week in preparation of a rockin’ good time.
When: Saturday, November 1st 2008
Where:  University of Kansas Memorial Stadium1000 W 11th St Lawrence, KS 66045
Time: 9:30 AM – We hope to see you tailgating out there!

Flaming Fannies From Some Buffalo Wild Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings

This week’s barspot hits up a franchise with the wacky folks from Buffalo Wild Wings.  Raytown was the place we went to form the various locations around the area, and after the nice drive through Swope Park it seemed the right choice.  I was fired up for the games as there were homecomings for some North schools and a big national contest in the South as well as the Big 10.  Buffalo Wild Wings also fired me up in other places Let’s hit the barspot.

Barspotting: Bringing it Back to Best Spot from Last Year at Brooksider’s (Alliteratively)

Brooksider Bar & Grill

So we dialed in the mojo a couple of weeks ago by returning toKite’s (formerly Rusty’s) the K-State vs. Texas Tech game so we’re gonna dial up another mojo hit for the Mizzou vs Texas game at the Brooksider. It truly was the best spot last year so we’re looking to have a good time. Since we’ve been there however, there have been a few changes so we’ll check up on that and let y’all know how it goes. One thing’s for sure, Krizzou is gonna drink her anxiousness to blackout.

Tumblweeds a Rollin’ and Arizona’s a Blowin’ for Some Wild Midwest Action

Arizona’s Neighborhood Grille & Bar

In the haze of a mid October sun, the KCCGD wagon train rolled up to the wild west of Shawnee, Kansas to watch some ball at Arizona’s Neighborhood Grille and Bar.  The rustic setting of the place provided a decent setting for the shootout that was to become.  There were some disappointments for the day, including the saloon we witnessed them in.  But we buckled down, circled the wagons, and set up post for some college football.

Salty Tasting Kite’s And Purple Yeti Yapping

Kite’s Outside

The alumni crew were coming out of the woodwork for the week’s blogspot. Mucho mojo was needed to help push K-State over Texas Tech and going to the Manhattan homestead of Kite’s (or at least the KC Area version) was part of the mix. We were definitely intent on reliving the magic of college as well as the magic of last year’s blogspot with K-State over Texas. What we learned, however, was a controversy that must be addressed with a call to action to K-State fans everywhere. We’re bringing the SALT this week so here we go:

Pick It and Stick It: First Friday And Stinky Spreads

And here we go with another week ‘o picks.  So the Yeti is rushing here a bit to get outta here to soak up some First Friday action, but the Saturday football action is all passing. Not like all things must pass, but more like Big 12 Conference play will be kicking of this weekend and some major bombs will be dropped in the air.  Josh Freeman knocking out quaterback records over at K-State is just one example. With much of the action rolling up to the big Mizzou vs. Nebraska, the Yeti wouldn’t be surprised if the offense spent this weekend in the Big 12 will top the rest of the BCS conferences combined. No seriously.  The Yeti means it. Here’s the picks:

Barspotting: Hey Go Fly A Kite’s, Wait A Minute Wasn’t This….?

Okay so I was at Kite’s earlier this year to cheer on K-State and only saw then tank hard to Louisville, but it wasn’t an official barspot.  Some of you may be asking, “Hey that used to Rusty’s Last Chance!”  And yes, we were there for a barspot last year.  But the place has name changed, I didn’t get any pics, and most importantly last year K-State beat top 10 ranked Texas.  So I’m hoping to rub off some of that magic this year when they take on No. 7 Texas Tech.  Boy OH boy I’m pulling out all the stops this week.  Purple shirt, purple boxers, purple pens, Purplesaurus Rex Kool aid, the whole shebang.  All for the defense.  Anyway, here’s Kite’s:
