Leave a comment

Bowling_andrew134_web

Here we go!  Bowl season starts tomorrow and we got your Bowl Pick It and Stick It ready to go!  It’s the somewhat the same format as the regular season.  For each of the 34 bowl games, you will need to assign confidence points.  So for whoever you think will win the strongest, should get the highest confidence points and vice versa for the weakest.  What’s different is the you need to pick the winner straight up.   There is no spread points to play off of for the bowls.  So head on over to Yahoo! Fantasy Sports and sign up!  We’ll go over the bowls after break but first, here’s the info:

We’re getting back on the treadmill to work off last weekend’s Turkey gauntlet.  The timing is perfect as he have lots to feast on this weekend with conference championships going on all over the place.  Hopefully the belt won’t be too tight to enjoy the big games filling up the screens.  As an appetizer to the weekend, we have a Crib Sheet spilling over with news this week. So without further ado, here’s this week’s Crib Sheet:

This week we go back to the 810 Zone, but this time it’s the one that started it all in Leawood, Kansas.  Now before we started the blog, we had a nasty television mix up at this location.  Hopefully things will be better because we are there for the Big 12 North battle.  Who will win in the defense match up between Kansas State and Nebraska?  Show up to find out.  Meanwhile, we’ll snack on some apps, marvel at the number of beers on tap, and perhaps play a game or two.  It should be a kick butt time and we hope you can make it out.  Consider this the make-up for missing out on alot of football from Paddy O’Quigley’s last week.

Pick It Standings Week 10: Yawnster of a Weekend

Leave a comment

lady-yawning

We’re back this week with another round of Pick It Standings.  Not much of a shake up this weekend in terms of college football and it’s reflected in the pick set.  Really when you think about it, there was no real big upset over the weekend, unless you count USC falling down hard to Stanford.  Everybody else won as expected and they are turning to corner for the home stretch of the season.  This is going to be a tight one to the end, both for the BCS race and the Pick It race.  Here’s this week’s lap:

Quick Pit Stop at Paddy O’Quigley’s For a Deserved Break

Paddy O'Quigley's

Okay, so the few of you out there that actually read the blog may be wondering, why so late today?  Welp doing some freelancing on the side left this guy knee deep in a bunch of cables and computer parts. No worries, however, as we are coming in close to the deadline to talk about our tiny little trip out to Paddy O’Quigley’s to watch a little football, celebrate a 30th birthday, and jam out to some peeps belting out face melters on karaoke.

Pick It Standings Week 09: Candy Hangover

Leave a comment

halloween_hangover

Halloween is over and we’re still feeling the hurt over the load of candy and Joose.  We rocked many parties and kinda wished we were at one that had Kansas State at Oklahoma on.  Oh well.  We are still enjoying the various fun sizes of candy.  Our favorites include Snickers, Butterfinger, and Milky Way.  But enough about candy.  We’re sweet on the Pick It Standings now.  We also have some tasty BCS standings to go over as the polls turned sweeter to some winning teams over some other teams that had some sour victorious.  Get your toothbrush ready, you’ll need it after this.

Pick It and Stick It: Nose Goblins are the Worst

It’s starting to feel spooky here around the KCCGD headquarters as we are getting geared up for college football AND Halloween Saturday.  There are already some scary and shocking things going on.  Just talk to Virginia Tech about the game last night.  Talk about a nightmare.  North Carolina pulls out the last second upset.  We wouldn’t be surprised if some other strange, supernatural things happens to some other teams come Saturday.  Remember, if they ask for trick or treat, say treat.  No trick plays will turn out good.  Here’s the the picks:

Barspotting: Coach’s Draws Up Our Football Watching Gameplan

Leave a comment

We’re finally recovered from our road trip to Lawrence last week and now we’re ready to hit another barspot.  This week the KCCGD crew is heading down the state line and watching some spooky activities at Coach’s Bar and Grill.  A main stay for good number of years, they claim to be the oldest sports bar in Kansas City, we finally make our way to see if the place is scary.  Yup, it’s Halloween too so maybe we’ll dress up in our favorite sports announcer outfit and call the game live.  Who should we dress up as?  Let us know in the comments.

When: Saturday, October 31, 2009
Time: 12:30 pm
Where:  Coach’s Bar and Grill – 414 W 103rd St, Kansas City, MO‎ – 816.941.2286

Games:

Notes:  Not that many big time games going on this weekend as we’re guessing that many people will be trick or treating instead.  Why did they schedule the bigger games for the evening?  Many fathers will be inside making the moms go out and take the kids while watching USC take on Oregon and Texas taking on Oklahoma State.  Sure there’s rivalries like the battle for the Ram Falcon Trophy, the Battle for the Rag, and the World’s Largest Cocktail Party, but outside of that it’s all Big 12 games.  Nothing much else here, good luck trying to pay attention while the kids ring the doorbell.

Pick It Standings Week 08: Post Traumatic Grill Syndrome

Leave a comment

grill

Another week of football came and went and in between the drizzles, the greasy smells, the turning leaves, and bands hitting the bricks, we gots ourselves some pick it standings sizzling on the grill.  So let’s munch on these tasty numbers and see what they turn up.  Let’s hope they don’t turn our stomach.  No room for leftovers, however, as we are merely just practicing for Thanksgiving.  It’s still a month away, you know.

Pick It and Stick It: Packing One In

Leave a comment

stuart_nose

It’s the first road trip of the year for KCCGD crew and we’re getting ready today for the fantastic Oklahoma and Kansas match up in Lawrence.  Typically people leave first thing in the morning and head back after the game.  It’s nice for us because the game is at 2:30, but even the 11:00 am games require the big morning road trip.  Usually that means packing up the night before and going over the football watching checklist.   Food, booze, drinks, gear, and radios all need to be packed up and ready to rock.  So tonight we’ll be busy making sure we are fully represented for the tailgating and the game.  On top of going over this week’s pick set:

We Peeped Hooter’s til we were Pooped

Leave a comment

Saturday was the big day.  We’ve been to a couple of chain restaurants before but this one was different.  This was Hooter’s.  We knew everything they were pushing.  The place started with girls first, then everything trickled down from their cleavage.  Hooter’s believes it also makes a great spot for a place to watch the game.  So last Saturday was the day to put it to to the test.  The test subjects included some great rivalry match ups, including the Red River Rivalry.  Let’s see what Hooter’s brought us.

Arlight, enough cowboy poetry.  Let’s get to the plate of beans for the weekend.  Usually the Red River Rivalry is a close one and the spread makers deems it so this year with a measly 3 points.  The rest of the Big 12 action may be in the shadow but there’s still some potential barn burners.  Take a looksie at Missouri and Oklahoma State.  Or even Kansas and Colorado.  But enough about that.  The other big rivalry is USC and Notre Dame.  This should put whoever wins back on the map to the BCS title.   A map that’s currently shared by Virginia Tech.  They will have a hard time holding onto it when they face Georgia Tech.  Pick well, peeps, and enjoy the games!

Barspotting: Check Out These Hooter’s

hooters

It was bound to happen.  It could only be so long before we found out way there.  And so, thanks to your voting, we will be barspotting for KC College Gameday at Hooter’s.  If you don’t know what it is, then you probably never will be there.  Essentially it’s vehicle for putting women in tight clothes and making them overly friendly.  Word around the street, though, is their wings and cheese fries are top notch.  Being the guy magnet it makes no apologies to be, they also have sports packages available.  So we’re gonna find out this week if Hooter’s is a great place to watch sports as well as the talent.

Pick It Standings Week 05: Feeling Overhyped

Leave a comment

song-chart-memes-striped-shirt

The non conference schedule is over and the Big 12 is limping out.   Oklahoma losing another close on to Miami capped off a 34-14 non conference schedule with one more game remaining.   The Arkansas rout of Texas A&M Saturday especially stung because it was from a SEC team.  So it looks as though that the Big 12 won’t end up being the 2nd strongest conference.  That can hurt Texas if they notch a loss and there’s no undefeated team in the conference.  Heaven forbid USC or even Ohio State sneaks into the national title game again.   One thing is for sure, the SEC is living up to the hype this year.  Now it’s time to figure out if we lived up to our Pick It hype:

Barspotting: Pointing to the Scoreboards

scoreboards

This week finds us in the middle of Johnson County and at a neat little place called Scoreboards.  We’ve been there before the blog started off and we’re pretty sure it’s a good time.  There used to be a Scoreboards in Manhattan but we don’t think it’s the same bar.  Sometimes sports bars survive on their own without a website, but we think these guys could use one.  It was super hard to find a pic or logo of the place.  Maybe we can open up a KCCGD hosted space for bars around the area.   Or post some ideas for Scoreboards below and we’ll talk to the manager Saturday.
