I’m in Boulder. Drove out Friday for today’s Kansas-Colorado game. What a great drive. It was a gorgeous day yesterday and I stopped in Goodland for the night. Add me to the list of the hundreds of people who have now spent a night in Goodland.
It was an easy drive over to Boulder this morning _ in fact, I arrived at the stadium four hours early. Four hours is a long time to kill. Thank goodness for text messaging.
I think KU is going to wallop Colorado today, but my good friend, KU beat writer Rick Plumlee, disagrees. He thinks CU is going to be the easy winner today. Given what happens on a weekly basis in college football, who can predict? Not me.
But here are the reasons why I think KU wins. I think Colorado’s defense was exposed by Kansas State last week. And Kansas is better offensively than K-State.
I also think KU’s defense will keep the Buffs’ running game in check, something K-State couldn’t do. I have bought in as far as the Jayhawks are concerned, which almost surely means they’ll lay an egg today, which will in turn leave egg on my face.
It’s a beautiful day here in Boulder, although Plumlee informs me that snow showers are expected by the end of the game. No matter, my plan is to drive to Colby tonight, which will leave me four hours to navigate tomorrow morning.
It’s always so much fun to be at a college football game. But I’m trying to figure out how I can follow the baseball game later. I should get to listen to a good chunk of it on the radio and I’m really pulling for Cleveland to end the ALCS in six games. But I have a strong feeling we’re going to a Game 7 tomorrow night, which wouldn’t be all bad because I would get to watch.
Keep reading the blog. I’m noticing all these columnists from around the country with their blogs and I feel like I’m cheating the public. Never mind that I’m still doing my columnist job, which entails 4-5 columns a week, and that I’m on the radio five days a week. So why is it that I feel guilty that I’m not doing enough? That’s my problem, not yours. Sorry to bother you with it.

Saturday night in Colby Kansas. Does Colby have a bowling alley, what do people really do there on Saturday night. Check out the local Dairy Queen or the Sonic. Give us the down home scoop.
Because… Gasp… You’re doing something on your own time, and I know this is way out in left field… You actually enjoy it too?! What an absolutely ridiculous person you are to do something that you like, how could you? Seriously though Bob, come on, I think you’re doing a fine job
