The Crib Sheet: The Light at the End of the Rain Tunnel

raintunnell

Record heat flies by and the next thing you know, a tropical storm drops in outta no where.  The rain was swirling from all directions and it almost seemed like a tornado or hurricane was brewing right over Kansas City.  I snapped a couple of pics to document the torrential rain.   It looks like the light is at the end of the storm.  That’s where we are at in college football.  We still must weather the baseball season, but basketball and hockey is over.   There’s still some storms a brewin’, especially in Manhattan, but we know we are getting ever so closer.  Here’s this week’s Crib Sheet:

  • Social Networking is big here at the KCCGD which is why it’s great to see stuff like Darius Darks of Iowa State using Facebook to garner support for the him and the team.  We’re surprised we don’t see official football pages on facebook now and hope that some schools pick it up for the future.
  • Former Alabama Crimson Tide coach Bill Curry will play his former team in 2010 as the head coach for the first year program Georgia State.  It’s always good to see former coaches go against their team.  Chances are this game will be out of hand, but an upset would be nice.
  • Iowa offensive linemen Kyle Calloway got the hook from the cops for tooling around town on a moped while intoxicated.  So Kyle will lose a game and get some counselling for running into a barricade on the little bike.  The image of a big drunk linemen on a tiny moped is hilarious.  Kids:  don’t do that at home.
  • So after the Ron Prince debacle, it seems another former official for the K-State athletic department is getting a sweet deal.  Pile that on top of a nasty audit, and what we have here is a good ole fashion free for all in Manhattan.  The Purple Yeti will be clutching his checkbook tightly for the next year or two until this gets settled.
  • Help William & Mary find a new mascot!  Since April 1 they’ve been taking submissions and it’s growing everyday.  As we’re sure you know about the Mascot Monday here and how mascots are near and dear to our hearts.  Take part and let’s see who wins!  I’m voting for the question mark.
