Every day I keep seeing KU basketball Whataburger commercials. What's the deal? Come on.
There is not even a Whataburger in Kansas, dude.
I was just watching the Super Bowl and I just remembered that the huddle was invented by deaf people so that they could sign to each other. I thought that was pretty cool.

KU baseball threw a no hitter today. KU basketball lost to Richmond and Iowa State in two out of three games. Hey, in a couple of years KU is going to be a baseball school.
I was watching the Super Bowl halftime show and I just saw Janet Jackson's boob. Was that supposed to be the special guest?
the top 10. Texas Tech dropped two places after an 82-73 loss at Texas. Stanford and Louisiana Tech each moved up one spot. Kansas State climbed two places.
So far it is the third quarter with 10 minutes left and the Super Bowl commercials kind of suck.
Big Jay, the KU mascot, crowd-surfed in the student section before the game last night against Missouri. The mascots make many appearances at campus events year round, from Union Fest to Graduation.

The Missouri bus just drove outside of our apartment, and we hit it with snowballs.
Maybe next year's men's basketball recruiting class will produce four good players and not two that are good and two that are really bad.

Tennessee survived a close call to keep a wide lead at the top of The Associated Press women's basketball poll.
The Lady Vols led the poll for the second straight week yesterday, but needed a late surge in their last game to stay there. They scored the final six points of regulation to force overtime in beating Auburn 68-61 Sunday.
Tennessee (18-1) received 44 of 47 first-place votes from a national media panel and had 1,172 points - 66 more than No. 2 Duke (16-2), Texas (19-2) remained third with three first-place votes and 1,083 points.
While the top six stayed the same. Notre Dame, Florida and Southwest Missouri State moved into the Top 25 at the bottom. It was the first appearance of the season for Florida and Southwest Missouri State.
Oklahoma, Vanderbilt and Nebraska dropped out.
Tennessee will defend its No.1 ranking against perennial nemesis Connecticut in Knoxville on Thursday night.The fourth-ranked Huskies have defeated Tennessee four straight times,including a 73-68 victory in last year's national championship game.
Penn State was fifth and Purdue was sixth, with Stanford, Louisiana Tech, Texas Tech and Kansas State completing

Virginia Tech, Miami, Notre Dame, Florida and Southwest Missouri State held the final five places.
Georgia, TCU and Auburn each moved up three places for the biggest jump within the poll. Miami fell five spots to 22nd after losing twice, to Notre Dame and Rutgers. DePaul dropped two spots to 15th after being held 22 points below its nation-leading scoring average in a 74-70 loss to Charlotte.
Notre Dame (13-7), ranked in the first three polls of the season, has the most losses in the Top 25. But the Irish have defeated five teams that were ranked at the time, including Connecticut. Four of their losses were to teams currently in the Top 25.
Florida (15-5) has won five of its last six to continue an impressive turnaround from last season's 9-19 record. The Gators have defeated Vanderbilt twice, won at Georgia and beat UC Santa Barbara when the Gauchos were ranked 15th.
