Wildcat happenings
2008-02-18 03:17:00 Before discussing the awesome weekend our Kansas State athletes had I thought it would be fun to share this video clip of Will Ferrell, proudly sporting his KSU sweatshirt.Here is the description of the clip (warning they do use the "f" word so if you are faint of heart... Don't f'n play the f'n clip!):What in the hell is Will Ferrell doing in the Little Apple (Manhattan, Kansas)? Eric Melin, co-host of Scene-Stealers.com, caught up with the comedy genius while on the first stop of his Funny Or Die College Comedy Tour. He was also promoting his new movie about the American Basketball Association, "Semi-Pro." After taking a brief tour of Manhattan's highpoints (i.e., the bars), Eric journeyed to a sold-out Bramlage Coliseum where Will f***ing Ferrell performed with Zach Galifianakas, Demetri Martin, and Nick Swardson. As Ron Burgandy, Ferrell also presented Kansas State University with an autographed Hammerhead shark. What more could you ask for? Enjoy Eric's one-on-one intervie...

Sunday Bloody Sunday
2008-02-17 21:24:00 It is Sunday afternoon and The Aging Disco Diva is out of champagne.... and I live in a state that takes the condition and care of my soul seriously, hence liquor sales are banned on Sunday. Not that it makes much of a difference...it is an f'n ice box outside right now so I am basically housebound, and my champagne budget is in the red anyway. I would love to use my time online making a million dollars (like all the come-on ads and articles promise) but a quick peek at my Adsense account shows that I have earned a whopping $6.00 in click revenue since the beginning of January so my first online million dollar payday appears to be oh...five or six centuries away.I could do my daily online sweepstakes entries (I plan on winning $350,000 this year) but I will probably hold off doing that until this evening. Actually I am a dedicated "sweeper" and have amassed a nice list of goodies over the years, but no more dinking around for me---this year I will win the BIG one (Positive Thinkin...

Knight was angry that a practice gymnasium was not opened to his team, which went on to a 9-0 record in the tournament. Knight was later convicted in absentia in a Puerto Rican court. However, the charges were later dropped when Indiana Governor Otis R. Bowen refused to cooperate in extraditing Knight to the island commonwealth.In 1985, Knight threw a chair across the court to protest a referee's call during a game against the rival Purdue Boilermakers.
