Barspotting: Bouncing Back and Ruffling the Quaff

Quaff Bar & Grill

It’s another week of KCCGD creaminess and we’re heading back downtown for a storied barspott at the Quaff Bar & Grill.  We’ve rolled downtown before but we wanted to hit up a sports bar that actually has some history before the Power & Light closes it down.  That’s right, Tanner’s right next door closed down and its high time to get some reminiscing done before the new school eats the old school.  It should be fun, as the last time I was there (years ago mind you) I remember pitchers of beer and some darts.  Doink!

When: Saturday, November 8 2008
Where: Quaff Bar & Grill – 1010 Broadway St, Kansas City, MO 64105
Time: 1:00 PM – I hope KU is on PPV

Pick It Standings Week 10: Patriotically Awkward

As we pop into line this year to hang our chad on whichever douche bag gets to run the nation today,  we mustn’t forget what a weird season of college football it’s been already.  Texas Tech is actually living up to the hype with and upset win over Texas.  Michigan locked a losing season for the first time since 1968, and  no bowl game for the Wolverines.  More and more non cons are undefeated and/or showing up.  I guess it translates to what happened to this weeks picks.  Yes, nobody voted for KCCGD last week.  Here we go with the standings:

Rank Pick Set Name 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Total
1 Cabbottmtf 17 11 9 13 8 11 10 10 11 7 0 0 0 0 0 107
2 Krizzou 16 12 8 11 9 10 6 10 8 5 0 0 0 0 0 95
3 Purple Yeti 14 10 8 10 4 6 6 7 10 6 0 0 0 0 0 81

So nobody was on this week as we discovered that or voting prowess blows some major chunks.  Cabbottmtf is on top again in a landslide while the Purple Yeti for the second week in a row ends up in second place.  No consolation here as the race is getting as the race is still not over yet.  And we know there could be some damaging photos to post online to help sway the pick ’em voter mojo base.  Needless to say, a crack team of dirt diggers are rummaging away in the hopes of making this contest believable.  Boy do we love politics.  Speaking of which, here’s the BCS Standings:

Sunflower Showdown 08: From Fuzzy to Sharp to Fuzzy to OUT

As you may have noted above, it’s the first video recording from my trusted Sony Cybershot DSC-W120 and what better place to do it than the Sunflower Showdown.  To correct myself, Kansas State played Kansas for the 106th time at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas.  The courtesy tent we started out in foreshadowed the day as we tailgated our way to another glorious set college football games.  The fog from the morning lifted for the game, but our own fog soon returned.  This was a road trip to remember, sorta.
