Apologies about the lack of content yesterday. I had sent my wife and kids back to Illinois for a week and following the game Saturday I started my trek into Kansas to pick them up. Spent most of the night Saturday and the day Sunday driving. Back at it today as we rehash Rice (boooo!) and the rest of the weekend in college football.
