A Tribute To Kansas Forward Thomas Robinson

June 1st, 2011 7 comments

KU sophomore forward Thomas Robinson, affectionately known as “T-Rob”, has lost his mother, Lisa, to a heart attack. With the the deaths of his grandparents before that, Robinson’s only remaining relative is his 9-year-old sister, Jayla. The entire Jayhawk Nation shares Thomas and Jayla’s grief, and at the same time rejoices that the KU athletics department and the NCAA are doing everything they can to support T-Rob. This video is my way of showing Thomas Robinson how much we in Kansas care about him. We look forward to the day when we can see him playing again in Allen Fieldhouse!

The song in this video is the Neil Sedaka song “Rosemary Blue”, recorded in 1971.

Which stadiums/venues are the most intimidating for visiting opponents in NCAA football?

February 9th, 2010 11 comments

I’ve heard that "The Swamp" (Florida) is a very difficult place to play, "The Big House" (Michigan), "Death Valley" (LSU), "The Coliseum" (USC), and "The Rose Bowl" (UCLA) are also supposed to be tough venues. Along with these places, I think that Boise St.’s blue field is one of the most difficult places to play because… well look at Boise St.’s record at home within the past few years – opponents have had VERY bad luck there (I don’t believe Hawaii has EVER won there much less any other current WAC team – though I could be wrong).
