The calm feeling of nostalgia

"The Kansas State family is in flux right now. I want to be able to help. I want to be able to soothe the waters." ~ Bill Snyder

I'm glad you're back. Even if you can't get us another shot at a national title or an 11 win season, it will be so so nice to have you on the sideline again.

Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.

Music time

I'm up too late again. Steven works nights, which means that I mill around and find ridiculous things to do until 4 in the morning. I think I just cleaned the apartment for 5 hours. And now I'm waiting on my 6th load of laundry to dry before I go to sleep.

Luckily my predicament led me to music videos.

On Sunday, Steven and I celebrate a year of togetherness. I have class in Omaha and then we're driving to Lawrence for dinner for our tummies and music for our souls. Jaymay + Meiko + Liberty Hall = divine satisfaction.

Be nice to your ears and click on the links. You won't be sorry.

Happy weekends to all. Think positive thoughts for OSU and the Wildcats.

Pretty, shiny, ridiculous hope

At least it was true for a few minutes...

K-State, TCU officials deny Patterson rumors

Kansas State athletic director Bob Krause said that his school has not hired TCU's Gary Patterson as its new football coach.

"We're in the early stages and we've talked to no candidates at this point," Krause said in a phone interview.

A TCU spokesman said there was "no truth" to the information.

"Patterson has not talked to anybody," he said.

A Rivals.com affiliate published a report today saying not only that Patterson had been hired but even detailed provisions in the contract.

Krause flat out denied the report.

"This is a published report by a private group that really claimed they had verified it from several sources," Krause said. "They never called me, and they should have."

Krause said he's fielded about 15 phone calls regarding the matter and his e-mail box is exploding. The TCU spokesman said his phone was "blowing up."

"It's an embarrassment, and while I'm sure we have no part in it, I'm sure it reflects back to the university," Krause said. "But it is what it is, and we'll try to maintain our sense of humor."

Crazy news story of the day...

Jogger runs mile with rabid fox locked to arm

4 hours ago

LOS ANGELES (AFP) — A woman jogger ran for a mile with a rabid fox clamped to her arm before locking the animal in the trunk of her car and racing to hospital for treatment, police said Thursday.

Michelle Felicetta was out running on a trail at the base of Granite Mountain near Prescott, northern Arizona on Monday when she came face-to-face with the fox in a clearing, Yavapai County Sheriff's Office said.

The woman attempted to back away from the animal but as she did so the fox lunged and sunk its teeth into her feet. After grabbing the animal by the neck the fox bit Felicetta on the arm and would not release his grip.

The quick-thinking jogger realized she would need to keep the animal for testing so ran back to her car where she managed to prise its jaws open before throwing it in the trunk and driving to hospital.

The fox also bit an animal control officer who attempted to remove it from Felicetta's car. Both Felicetta and the animal officer will have to now undergo a series of vaccinations for treatment.

"This fox made eye contact with me and started walking towards me," Felicetta later told KPHO local television. "That's when I knew something was really wrong."

Happy Thursday, all! Just remember... your day could be worse.

Come on.... Venables!
