Crib Sheet: Media Day Menagerie

Oh yeah lot’s of squawking and a talking this week.  Media Days are here and the Big 12’s focus this year is the Longhorns Network, not the impending doom of the conference.  Although some would say that the network is the started of a long doom for the conference.  This week’s Crib Sheet delves into that as well as the usual news items that comes across my desk.  So let’s dig in:

Crib Sheet: The Football Drought is Almost Over

I know, I know, the summer heat based themes keep on coming. I’m still getting acclimated to the high climate down here and it’s all that’s on my brain. Some would say I’m in a drought for college football. Relief is right around the corner but as of now I’m super parched. Grab a glass a water for me and check out this week’s Crib Sheet:

Crib Sheet: Crispy Tan

No fireworks last weekend but lots of fun and sun by the cool.  So yeah, I’m feeling like a KFC extra crispy.  It’s not enough to stop me from bringing this week’s Crib Sheet:

Crib Sheet: Deep in the Heat of Texas

Welp I’m finally settled down here as the KCCGD Express is powered down and unpacked.  You know, people were saying that the heat is bad down here but I don’t mind it so much.  It’s not July yet, but mid 90s in late April/early May is a new thing for me.  And I love it.  People were meant to wear less clothes.  Now on to this week’s Crib Sheet:

Crib Sheet: The Road to Austin Bekons

It’s a tasty Crib Sheet this week as I’m packed up and ready to head to Austin for SXSW.  I might stop by Daryl K Royal Stadium and give homage to the team that Kansas State has owned the last couple of years.  That is if I can make it there between the haze of tech and music.  The next Crib Sheet might be heavily abbrieviated.  Just sayin.  Here’s this week’s Crib  Sheet:

Crib Sheet: Silent Night, Bowly Night

Happy Holidays from everyone here at KC College GameDay!  We’ll be taking a break over the holiday weekend and soak in some presents and bowls.  I hope you all have a great time and we’ll see you next Tuesday for an update to the Bowl Pick It and Stick It.  In the meantime, here’s this week’s Crib Sheet:

Crib Sheet: Going Bowlzerk

Another regular season over and another bowl season is set.  I like the matchups for the Big 12 this year.  Yes, no two teams are in BCS bowls but there is a chunky 8 teams going bowling.  I don’t want to hear the yipping from Missouri fans this year as their game against Iowa is way bigger than the game Nebraska has against Washington.  Kansas State’s in the first ever Pinstripe Bowl against Syracuse.  That should be a fun one too.  We have the Army vs Navy game and then the week after is all bowls.  Right now, it’s the Crib Sheet:

GameDay: KCGGD’s Best Weekend Evar

Okay, so no, I’m not talking about VH1 and guests like Chris Jericho and the unfunny guy from The State, I’m talking about college football!  Every year I’m reminded that we get piles upon piles of traditional football matchups on top of piles and piles of turkey.  This year is a little different, however.  The rivalry games are all over the place, but alot of them have national title implications.  It’s only halfway through the weekend and already the BCS title race has been blown up, kinda.

Pick It And Stick It: Better Late Than Never

Okay, so it’s a little late, but I was enthralled with the bevy of college football that was on a Friday.  So I apologize for being late, but it’s better than never.   I know everyone out there was sitting there wondering just what the latest pick set was available in between the football and more football today.  Welp, we had some picks for today come and go but we also have some ready to  rock for tomorrow.  If you got the time like I do on this long Thanksgiving Day Weekend, then check out the picks and see how you’ve fared.

Homespotting: My Home and Yours for Turkey Day Weekend

You know, when I started this blog, it was all about going out.  My main reason was to watch college football at its maximum potential.  I couldn’t afford a rig so a bar was the next best thing.  I’ve watched some football before at home but this time I’m going all out.  The games are spread out perfectly, not unlike a Thanksgiving dinner, this weekend so I figured what better way to graze on the games while I graze on leftovers by staying home and watching it from KCCGD Headquarters.  Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there and I hope you have as much fun watching the great action as I do.

Crib Sheet: A Thanksgiving Feast

Ho boy do we have a feast of news for you to munch in this Thanksgiving edition of the Crib Sheet.  There should be enough left over to keep you fed over the whole weekend as there is college football on pretty much all of the time.  Grab a bib and get ready for some Crib Sheet:

JJ’s Other Place Was Decent The Second Try Around

Alrighty, the second try to watch some football at my favorite local neighborhood hole in the wall, JJ’s Other Place.  I’ve been there plenty at night and now I’ve been there during the day.  I’ll stick with being there at  night.  I forgot a couple of important items as well as the fact there wasn’t that much to watch that day.  It was a pretty good time nonetheless.   There were some upset a brewing as well as some traditional nachos brewing in my stomach.  Continue reading JJ’s Other Place Was Decent The Second Try Around

Pick It and Stick It: Wet and Moist

Rainy falls days make for some great college football talk.   This is the time of year when snow and rain play more into games on Saturday.  I talked about football weather before, but for some reason Kansas City has yet to see any kind of weather until now.  Maybe that makes up for the massive blast of cold and snow from last year.  Whatever it is, look for more slipping and sliding on the fields Saturday.  Also, look for more a slipping and a sliding on the picks this week.  We have about 30 games to chose from so confidence will play in heavily.

Crib Sheet: Still Adjusting To Time

My body is still out of whack due to the daylight savings time change Sunday.  Hey, at least I got an extra hour of sleep work in.  It seems like some people around the college football landscape are also adjusting.  Who knew that the loss to Kansas coupled with the time change forced Colorado to fire Dan Hawkins?  That and many more half-asleep wackiness on this week’s Crib Sheet.  Read on, my friends, read on.

Pick It and Stick It: Snot Rockets

The Big 12 used to be known for high scoring shoot outs. This year sees a return to defense as either the stars moved away to the NFL or schools coached up their kids. The only two top 10 offenses in college football this year that come from the Big 12 are Baylor and Oklahoma State. Guess who happens to play each other tomorrow? That game will be a shootout and is for the top spot in the Big 12 South. This year is turning out to be majorly weird. Don’t let that vex you as we set you up for this week’s Pick It and Stick It.
