What I've Learned Today

Lessons I've learned in the past 24 hours:

  • Do NOT sleep on a group of people that have their backs against the wall, regardless of the circumstances.  See:  K-State v. KU.

  • Yes, going from 1-26 to 2-26 at home over the last 28 years isn't exactly "closing the gap".  But leaving a 0-24 streak in Manhattan, and transitioning to a 2-2 record in Bramlage Coliseum against the Jayhawks since 2008, when KU perennially comes to town ranked in the Top 10, is bordering between "putting up a helluva fight" and "holding serve".  Is it closing the historical gap?  Not really.  Is it closing the current gap?  You bet your ass it is. 

  • Big games for your team are detrimental to your health, regardless of the outcome. K-State won, and I couldn't fall asleep.  If K-State loses that game, I can't fall asleep.  Either way, I'm staying up past midnight, and there's nothing I can do about it.

  • Do NOT take the last chocolate in the community Valentine's Day box of chocolates.  It's probably a flavor you don't want.  Orange-creme filled milk chocolate.  Yuck.

  • For every 100 great eBay transactions you may have, you'll have one that is with an unbelievable asshole.  Law of averages.  Hopefully, if karma has anything to say about it, he'll get beat to a bloody pulp with his own shoes.

  • 50 deg F outside is better than -5 deg F.  Every.  Time.
