Border Beatdown
For about five minutes last night, at the very beginning of the first half, a pretty good basketball game was underway in Lawrence, Kan.
After that, though, the Kansas Jayhawks brought what they normally do against opponents in Allen Fieldhouse — a full-on smackdown. Last night, Kansas recorded it’s nation-leading 54th straight victory in Lawrence, [...]
The Best of My 2009
This year hasn’t been too shabby for me.
I edited and published a book. I got my masters degree from Missouri. I placed in CPOY.
I got drunk at Mardi Gras.
Here’s a look back, from Spain to California and all the places in between. If I learned anything this year, it’s never stop looking and don’t [...]
Hands/Feet
I’m starting to slowly ween myself off sports for awhile, but I’ll always try something new, and I’ve never shot gymnastics before, so I figured tonight was as good a night as any.
What a Finish!
OK, so I know I should be completely, utterly, totally, wholly upset that Kansas lost to Missouri yesterday during the Border Showdown in Kansas City. The thing is, I’m not as much as I thought I’d be.
It was an amazing game between two teams that just wanted to pound the crap out of each [...]
Still Dancing…
The Columbia College Cougars men’s basketball team advanced to the NAIA national championship game in Kansas City tonight after a pretty awesome 60-56 victory against the crowd-favorite MidAmerica Nazarene University. Coach decided to do a little jube in the locker room afterward.
Tournament Time
I love March. Probably more than Christmas.
Anyway, the Missouri men’s basketball team left for Boise, Idaho, today for their first and second-round games. Coming from a KU fan, they had a pretty great season, and it’s hard to dislike a team when all these guys are such class acts.
I still hope KU goes farther in [...]
St. James: Wrestling
Hung out with the wrestling team in St. James today trying to make a story. There’s one girl on the team, Britney, who, in my 5 minutes of conversation with her comes off as a total hard-ass.
I like her already.
Opening Night
…for Gary Pinkel and the Missouri Tigers. St. Louis, Mo. Way behind on this, but hey, school get in the way sometimes.
Hail to Ol’ Mizzou
OK…so my KU friends will probably kill me for this, but hey…I just do what I’m told.
Also, I’ve never done a shot like this before so tell me what you really think so I don’t screw it up next time.
Anyway, shot this for the upcoming football preview in the Missourian. It’s a bunch of old [...]
Hoopin’
So…it’s my first post in awhile; probably because I just finished moving, started a new job and really haven’t got off my butt to shoot anything lately.
Anyway, Douglass Park – Take 1:
I’ve taken ones like this before, but I like this one best.
Another damn sport
Geesh…now wrestling?
My sports portfolio better kick ass after this semester. Or at least contain one shot of every winter sport in America.
(Minus skiing.)
Well, at least I got a trip to St. Louis. And I got to see another national championship.

They Are The Champions
UN-Omaha’s 400-yard freestyle relay team celebrates after winning their event final — and a National Championship.
That’s F’in Teamwork
Missouri’s got a lot of picking up to do after this season. But hey, it’s not like I wanted to shoot another MU/KU game or anything…especially at the Big 12 Tournament.
