Here are this week’s picks. Once again it’s by the spread finalized on Wednesday of this week. We pushed last week so hopefully this week we’ll have a clear winner. I’ve already received plenty of emails this week about the rivalry, so maybe wearing the other teams colors would be a good choice for the loser. Once again, post comments to let us know.

I Look Fabulous in Purple; Otherwise, I would SO Not Where It
If it wasn’t for a pre-planned outing with a few women who insist on complaining about work and berating their “friends” (one reason krizzou prefers the men-folk), last Saturday could’ve been a stress-free day for me. It was of course Missouri’s bye week, so I didn’t have to sweat over Pinkel’s inexplicable play-calling. (Seriously, it’s a good thing the guy can recruit.) Instead, I spent late morning/afternoon in an unruly sea of purple at the infamous Rusty’s Last Chance in Shawnee Mission.

Barspotting: No, Harpo’s Is Not Owned By Oprah
When: Saturday, October 6th, 2007
Where: Harpo’s, 4109 Pennsylvania, Kansas City, MO 64111
Time: Maybe 7pm, not sure the Purple Yeti will actually make it. Going over to a friend’s house for the KU vs. K-State game. Krizzou’s looking for pig butt in Columbia. Continue reading Barspotting: No, Harpo’s Is Not Owned By Oprah
Miscellany: Eating (and Listening) Good in the Neighborhood?
So I was out with my fellow Yetis from work at Applebee’s when low and behold we walked into what looked like an attempt and being almost sports bar-like. It was the one over in Overland Park by I-35. We walked in and they had big flat screens covering their inner bar area. Plus, they had ESPN, Fox Sports, and even the NFL Network on there! Granted CNN was on too but we’ll forget about that. The signal quality was bad so the pictures were kinda flakey.
The other real interesting thing was the Sprox Soundog setup they had there. The Soundog was this little contraption on the tables that you turn on and then punch the number that correlates to the number on the flatscreen and you can pick up the audio for it. It’s a pretty neat idea but for real sports bars, it might be drown out by the game of the week playing over head. At least it makes a pretty cool fart noise when you first turn it on and keep it real low.
The Ron Prince Stomp
The phone was ringing off of the hook (or vibrating in my backpack) as I was walking out of the gym. Saturday was the big day and all of my purple friends (including Krizzou believe it or not) were trying to get a hold of me for the big K-State versus Texas game. The plan was set and I was running a little behind. I popped home, scribbled some phone numbers down, did a couple of Yeti-administration tasks, and hit the road. I was expecting a good time, but what I got was a blow out of awesomeness.
Gameday: Big Game This Week Reminds Me Of Big Games Of The Past
After watching this video, I have to admit that was all tickly and pumped. Still am. But it also made me think of why I went to K-State and how fortunate I was to be there for the greatest turnaround in college football history. Basically, it was a good engineering school (especially for the price) and 2 of my 3 older brothers went there (why KU bro? WHY?). Watching that video made me realize just how lucky I was.

Pick It n’ Stick It: Spreading it Open
Here we go again on another week of Pick It n’ Stick It. We’re gonna try something different this week as we are picking games using the spreads for yahoo sports on Wednesday. It should make things a little closer and more competitive. Speaking of competitive, I guess I did lose last week so I tomorrow I’ll make due on the loser bet.

TWO and a HALF HOURS, MY pig BUTT!!
Another week down, another win for the Tigers and another climb in the polls. For a second week in a row I traveled to the heart of the beautiful state of Missouri for a day of tailgating and Tiger football. Unfortunately, we were not blessed to have a consecutive week of gorgeous fall weather, but all-in-all it was a pretty good college gameday. Continue reading TWO and a HALF HOURS, MY pig BUTT!!
Two clears, three reverses, and college football trumps
Well, I’m a little late in getting the post up, but when you’re weekend involves carting a bunch of drunk people to IHOP at 3:30 am, you’re gonna end up behind on a couple of things. You know, I didn’t have anything to eat to over there for the first time ever. I guess in the haze of all of the craziness, I knew I had to save some room for the crow I was about to eat over the first ever weekly pick bet. I did make up for the lack of flapjacks, however, for some tasty cheese fries at the Fox and Hound.

Pick It n’ Stick It: Wrecked ’em!? Dang near killed ’em!
We are starting a new feature this week that hopefully can stick (ha ha). Here are the picks for us this week. Yeah, we decided to try to dump this on Fridays and keep score. Hopefully as the season goes on, we can start coming up with wagers for the loser of the week. Comments are welcome as to what the loser has to do.

T-D, we want a… what!?
It was around 8:15 Saturday morning, cruising across I-70 in Nowhere, MO when I opened my eyes from my brief nap and saw the first of many tiger tails whipping in the wind. The familiar site of the tiger tail attached to the trunk of the SUV brought a smile to my face. Sure it was week 3 of the season, sure there had already been two Mizzou victories, but this was the first home game; the first tailgate, the first day of watching football in the open air, and I was ready….

Don’t Stop Believing (as sung by Boomer)
I can’t believe I struggled out of bed at 7:30 am Saturday morning to go hit the gym before rolling off to another bar for college gameday. I actually spent about 2 1/2 hours there, which I would never have imagined doing 2 years ago. 2 years ago, I would sleep in because of all of the massive partying I did the night before. Now I’m on the elliptical watching ESPN College Gameday (not to be confused with our blog), rocking out to some Jet and plotting the day. I never would have imagined that the day would be full of more surprises and more parties than I expected.
Week 2: Home of the 12th Man, Wedding Parties, and YUCK!
Here’s yet another late post from the sunny side of State Line. Forgive me for my tardiness, but I have my “first game” blinders on. Each year, about 1 week prior to Mizzou’s home opener, I turn into a giddy little school girl. My mind is clouded with thoughts of Tiger football, beer, brats, reuniting with old friends, etc. It’s similar to thoughts of sugar plums, but even better! Still, I can muster up a few thoughts about week two. We’ll do this random style, and unlike Yurple, I don’t mind if you complain a little about local teams not being televised.
