Anybody else going to see them play the powerhouse of (directional) Kentucky?

Anything I need to check out in Manhattan, haven't been there since the day I graduated in 2003.
 
I'm not going to make it to that one. I will for sure be there for Homecoming against OU though, and am likely going to Austin to watch the KSU/UT game this year. :cheers:

If you haven't been there since '03, you won't even recognize the East side of town, with the exception of Bob's Diner and the McDonald's.
 
Here now gentlemen, I like you both, but you're taking up "real estate" in the wrong forum;)

To the Lounge with your college football talk! In all seriousness (word?), I hope the best for our home team, but it's wingshooting season guys:rolleyes:Get your heads in the game for F's sake!

My 6yo and I spent the evening scouting for doves. Boy was he excited about what he saw. He kept telling me, "Dad if I had my gun I'd....." stories. I'm tellin' ya folks it's exciting:thumbsup:

Yes, I wanted to highjack your thread in our beloved KS hunting forum:D I'm stupid excited about the boy skipping school Thursday morning to help pops harvest a few dove for eating. He likes to hunt things and cook them. I'm truly blessed and probably all too willing to share it.

My scouting report goes a lil something like this; there are a BUNCH of dove birds in my part of KS right now:cheers:
 
KSBrittney,

Hurry up and send em down here to Oklahoma:cheers:

Manhattan has grown alot in the last few years. Its a great town.
I can't go to the game, I have to go dove hunting, or spend time training the dogs :cheers:

But GO CATS
 
Take my off topic a bit off topic (which I guess makes it on topic?), don't bother me none. :)

Dad and I are going to try to hit some combined corn/pond Saturday morning before the 3 hour trip to Manhattan. Not seeing a ton of birds there, but its a nice quarter mile walk from his house.

If he's been gone since '03, he also won't recognize the West and North sides of town. Aside from just the businesses, think about how many houses are here where there used to be pasture. This town is blowing up!

Also, the main drags in Aggieville are 1-way roads now, so keep that in mind after the game.;)

Thanks for starting a football thread. :thumbsup: I am looking forward to football season a lot more than dove season. I mean, c'mon, they are just doves...:eek: If my dog wasn't about to scratch down the front door I probably wouldn't even mess with them. But I AM excited to get the dog out and get feathers in his mouth so I guess I'll be blasting some doves.:D

Any predictions for the cats this year? I'm thinking they should scratch out a winning record overall and hopefully get a bowl game.

EMAW, GO STATE!!!
 
Toad,

Just doves? C'mon man. It's the kick-off to our fall hunting season! I have 2 young boys that are just getting into hunting, so it's pretty damned important to us.

I think you're a closet dove lover:D
 
My prediction on the season is that they will not win as many game as I miss shooting at doves for the season :eek:, and they will Beat KU to a pulp! :cheers:

A Bigger Go Cats
 
I have got free tickets and I am not sure its worth going to see directional kentucky even at that price. :( but I will probably end up there. BTW If you have not been here since 03 I can tell you one thing that has changed. The traffic has gone from bad to worse. And these college kids are idiot drivers, be careful in the roundabouts evidently they are smart enough for Differential Equations and Advanced Trigonometric Theory but driving in a circle is way beyond them.:mad:
 
CLOSET DOVE LOVER!!!:confused: KB, that's just crazy talk!:eek:

But I will tell you that I am a dog lover to the core. I WILL load up my old dog and haul him out to a pond in hopes of dropping a few doves for him to retrieve. Not because I secretly love doves, but because I openly love that ol' mutt.:thumbsup: He has never been much of a hunting dog:rolleyes:, but he has always been a great friend and his desire to fetch things is stronger than his desire to eat, be petted, or anything else I can think of.

I'm a kid lover to the core as well. Heck, I don't give a darn about turkey hunting, but when my daughter said she would like to try it I went out and immediately bought a blind, a turkey tag, and started trying to line up a place to hunt. It was 10X more fun watching her get excited about the hunt than it was to shoot a turkey. Kids are what it's all about, IMO.

So anyway, KB, I hope you understand where I'm coming from and of course I think it's great that you are taking your boys hunting. I hope your boys have a great time and that seeing their excitement brings you the same joy I feel when my moth-eaten old dog plods back to me with a ratty dove in his mouth but a smile on his face. Or when my daughter nearly comes unglued as the turkey wanders into shotgun range...

That's the main draw to these "other" seasons for me. Not so much the "hunting", but just the joy of the time spent in the outdoors with kids and dogs. Honestly, I guess that's the main attraction to the real hunting season as well.;) Without the dogs, kids, or hunting buddies, I could probably give it all up and actually finish my honey-do list.:laugh:

This is my exact list of reasons for being excited. Only I would add time w/ my shotgun:rolleyes: as I am a wingshooter. Kids, dogs, and pusuing birds on the wing:thumbsup: DON'T FORGET THE SUNRISES!
 
Also,while waiting for the sun to come up,keep an eye out for falling stars.We uselly see one or two every year,pretty neat to see them when the sun is just cracking.
 
ON TOPIC!

Any score predictions for Saturday? I hate to make predictions about a team I haven't watched yet, but I predict I will catch more passes in the parking lot during our tailgate than any receiver on either team.:D Also, I will drink them under the table.:cheers:
 
Hey if the game gets boring and or that abomination ECOKAT is on the sidelines, I would just head north of town around the Fancy Creek area to shoot a few dove. Just a suggestion.

On a side note: I'm almost embarrassed to be a '04 grad with this new "mascot" running around. KSU isn't an eco warrior/PETA friendly place:eek: (at least not in 2004). If I wanted that I would have gone to KU:(.

Whats the story on this 'mascot' anyways? A vendor I use in St. Louis called me up and told me to google it, all I've found so far is a picture without reading any details. The name and picture is enough to make me embarrassed.
 
BTW - Brokers and investment managers I deal with in New York are giving me sh!t. Not just vendors in St. Louis Cheesy. We are in the same boat sounds like.
