The Day After: Getting even with ISU | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
The Jayhawks shot lights out from the outside, played incredible defense and worked — on both ends — about as hard as I remember seeing them work all season. Clearly, the game and the chance to get revenge for their only Big 12 loss to date meant something to these guys.
Mr. Ed says: Matt Tait will track the letters of intent as they come in and will update this link throughout the day.

Best parts of each Big 12 recruiting class - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
Kansas: The Jayhawks hired David Beaty in part because of his recruiting ties to the state of Texas. Beaty wasted no time putting those connections into play, giving the Jayhawks 10 commitments from high school Texans heading into signing day. Beaty also signed six more junior-college players from the Lone Star State. If he can keep those Texas waves coming, Kansas’ talent pool has a chance to rapidly improve.

WATCH: Rare Wrigley Field footage from 1938 - CBSSports.com
The reel says 1937, but it appears that this is a game from early 1938. The glimpse of a pre-game ceremony in tandem with the apparent cold weather suggest it's a home opener. Furthermore, the scoreboard appears to read "St. Louis." That would mean it's likely the contest that took place on April 22, 1938. As you can just barely make out in the final shot of the scoreboard, the Cardinals score four runs in the ninth, which squares with the box score.

How To Drive In The Snow, In A Regular-Ass Car, Without Freaking Out
Driving a car home in the snow is still driving a car. This probably seems like snarky, unhelpful advice, but actually it's not! Many drivers seem genuinely to believe that, when the road has snow on it, using an automobile to get from one place to another becomes a fundamentally different activity, with weird obscure properties that you don't know, and so you creep along at two miles-per-hour with the brake pedal halfway depressed the entire time and, like, your (goshdarn) hazard lights on, gripping the wheel in white-knuckled terror, as though at any minute, for no reason whatsoever, your car might decide to hang a 90-degree left turn and plunge into a ravine.
Mr. Ed says: I would also like to add that a two-inch "snowstorm" is not a good reason to go to the grocery store and stock up on bread and milk and soup and 29 other things because sometimes people go to the store on a random Tuesday night for a gallon of milk and those people don't want to stand in line for 20 minutes with one item because you're a dumbass.
