The Rock Chalkboard

What Kansas football players are saying ahead of the Iowa State matchup
In the lead-up to Saturday's game between Kansas and Iowa State, several KU football players met with local reporters to put a bow on the win over Oklahoma and look ahead to the matchup with the Cyclones. The players interviewed included Craig Young, Dominick Puni, Jason Bean, JB Brown and Lawrence Arnold.

Lawrence Arnold's crucial play vs. OU showcased his development at KU and cemented his consistency this season
"Going through the entire game and me running that route a lot, I was noticing that the different changes of paces that I was given the DB, it was dictating his leverage and how he was guarding me,” Arnold explained.

Everything Bill Self said following KU's win over Fort Hays State
“Kevin got his neck hit again tonight. So they told us at halftime that, Bill he not gonna play much second half. He’s hurting too bad. And he made two threes to start the second half and I'm sure that eased a little bit of a pain you know, shortly but then he came and told me he said coach, I said you're done aren't you, and he said I'm done for the night. He’ll be fine, but it's just soft tissue stuff, but certainly he was hurting tonight.”

What the 2024 Election Is Really About for Trump Supporters - The Atlantic

It was written after Timothy McVeigh’s 1995 bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, and tracks the emerging anti-government movement that inspired McVeigh to make war on the federal law-enforcement agencies that he, and many other far‐right activists, believed posed a threat both to America and to themselves.

Oasis: The Masterplan (Remastered Edition) Album Review | Pitchfork
The Masterplan poses one of the great “what if?” scenarios in rock history. What if Noel Gallagher had saved all the A-side-worthy B-sides he was cranking out between 1994 and 1997 for a proper Oasis album? What if they had released that batch of songs as their third full-length instead of the overblown and underwhelming Be Here Now? What if, instead of sounding Britpop’s death knell, Oasis’ third album kept the party going into the new millennium, thereby negating the need for dejected fans to take solace in Travis and Coldplay? Who knows, maybe Oasis still would’ve traveled up their own arse en route to “All Around the World” anyway, but at least that indulgence would’ve felt a little more earned.
