Okay so I didn’t watch football this weekend. I know, it kinda sucks. But hey, I did get to see some tasty music at Fun Fun Fun Fest. I make amends by talking about what I missed, which includes Kansas State, Oklahoma State, Collin Klein, Daniel Sams, Texas, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Kansas, Baylor, TCU, Gary Patterson, Bill Snyder, Notre Dame, USC, Pitt, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, Les Miles, Texas A&M, and the BCS Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 42: Fun Fun Fun Football
Okay back to a regular schedule and back to some exciting college football. Kansas State blew out Texas Tech and a bunch of other things happened. The BCS picture got way clearer but it’s still a muddy mess. Look for all of that and Texas, Kansas, TCU, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama, Florida, the BCS, and USC. Continue reading Purple Yet Roar 41: Your Next Opponent Is The Most Dangerous
Alright I’m finally recovered from the long trip enough to pop back up and give y’all meager roar of the weekend that was in college football. This week I’m talking about Kansas State, West Virginia, Oregon, Mississippi State, Alabama, Big 12, SEC, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Bill Snyder, Texas Tech, Tommy Tubberville, Seth Doege, Collin Klein, and Tyler Lockett
This weekend sees the culmination of what looks to be another Cinderella season for my obvious homer cheered Kansas State Wildcats. They head to Morgantown this weekend to take on the hobbling West Virginia Mountaineers. This is make it or break time for both programs and Saturday’s game will determine who will stay on the national stage and who will steep back down into the conference championship race. Oh there’s some other games going on this weekend, but this is the big one for me and for most of the nation (Big 12 nation, okay?). Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: It’s A Big One To Finger
Puns aside, I go over the Big 12 action that was last weekend, all the while pointing toward the massive game Saturday night when Kansas State heads to Morgantown to take on West Virginia. I also talk about the BCS rankings and the teams involved, minus Oregon (sorry guys!). Start getting pumped, we are halfway through the season and it’s about to get even more jacked. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 39: I Ames To Please
I’m talking about how Kansas State continuously takes care of business against the in state brother for Kansas. Tune in and watch me talk about the Big 12 games from the weekend and the Big 12 games coming up. Oh yeah, I’ll talk some Top 25 match ups and some overrated SEC stuff. Let the dominance continue. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 38: Kansas State Dominance
It’s Sunflower Showdown weekend! While it’s nice that Charlie Weiss is trying to get his Kansas kids up for the game and refocus rivalry juice toward Manhattan, Bill Snyder has been doing that exact thing for much of his tenure. But we can get into that later. There’s a wealth of great games this weekend both inside and outside the Big 12. We’ll know much more where teams will be seeded in the national championship race after this weekend. Time to Pick It and Stick It. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: Finding Some Seeds
Yeah least week was kind of a snoozer, but I watched every possilbe minute of action from my couched sideline. This week I talk Texas, David Ash, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Steele Jantz, TCU, SMU, The Iron Skillet, Baylor, West Virginia, Geno Smith, Kansas, Charlie Weiss, Dayne Crist, Kansas State, and Bill Snyder. Continue reading Purple Yeti Roar 37: Bye To Last Week, Get Ready For This Week
I knew rolling into this weekend that I would be watching 3 Big 12 games at once, so I figured I would make something that is the same but different 3 times around. Sliders seemed like the perfect fit for and what I did for the 3 different flavors of sliders only proves that sometimes I can pull menus out of my ass. I went with the traditional slider, a pulled pork version, and an Italian meatball version. To connect the sliders dots, it was Brooklyn Lager on tap. Let’s cook this stuff:
The traditional slider was a winner as always. It’s more because I’m a fan of caramelized onions than anything else. The Italian meatball slider was the most meaty of the bunch. The sauce made it feel bigger than what it actually was and the provolone kept it together. The pulled pork slider was the winner of the night. The meat fell right off the fork straight out of the crock pot and into my mouth. The sweetness of the pork broth went superbly with the cole slaw I tossed together.
The glue that held these guys together was Brooklyn Lager. The lightly roasted flavor of the matched the traditional slider perfectly, as it brought the onion flavor and helped guide the meat taste down. I don’t think it went with the meatball slider too well as I could’ve used something just a tad lighter and hoppy for that heavy ball. The pulled pork worked fine with the Brooklyn Lager. The smoke flavor from the pork was the connection for the lager.
The hardest part of this week’s football feedings was getting everything done at the same time. With three different types of slider, it was quite the task. I was up for it, though, and I’m glad it paid off. We may be revisiting the pulled pork again in the future as it was the best of the bunch by far. I still have a soft spot for the traditional slider and I hope it doesn’t traditionally slide right though me. The lager is a good blocker.
It’s the evening slate of games I’m into today because we have 3 great Big 12 games going on at the same time. I think we need a break from the Baylor and West Virginia track meet so hopefully we’ll see some defense.
It’s a little late but why the hell not. I’m going to dump out another Pick It and Stick It. It’s a bye week for Kansas State and this week’s games are hardly that interesting. But I poked and prodded around and found a couple of good reasons to flap my gums about the weekend’s games. Much to no one’s surprise, the games I’m into this weekend are from the Big 12. Continue reading Pick It and Stick It: Bye Bye Love
Week 4 provided a new location as well as a new twist on a classic recipe. It’s football feedings and I went a little over board on some tasty marinade. I also had a temporary boarding place as it was bed and breakfast time for the weekend. Details of the latter will not be forthcoming but what I will dish the deets on are what I’m calling Mason Jarne Asada washed down with some North Coast Old Stock Ale. Let’s cook this sucka up:
Continue reading Football Feedings 2012 Week 04: Mason Jarne Asada
So it was another great week of football and it started in Norman. Kansas State upset Oklahoma. I’ll talk about that and the other games of the weekend as well as look forward to some quasi exciting action for week 5.
Hitting up a bed and breakfast, but even this temporary roof has to watch some college football. Follow along here.
Ho man, finally we get into the meat of college football. Last week, it was trap time. Now it’s the real deal. I can’t keep my homer-ism down. I’m full tilt on Kansas State vs Oklahoma this weekend. And what’s about to launch me out of my chair is that we are also treated to Notre Dame vs Michigan. It’s a shame they are on at the same time. Yup, it’s gonna to be a massive weekend and I’ll try to pick and stick my way through it. Continue reading Pick It And Stick It: Sensory Overload Weekend
