I can confirm that my wife is coming, that may help with the numbers. What time should we head over? I can get there early if you need me to.

I would think any time between 1:30-2 should be sufficient.

We will probably be there around 1:30/1:45.

Looks like Braincase and mini-Braincase are a go.

I really am hoping to be out of here by 10a, Topeka by noon, beer & basketball shortly there after.

:clap:

**** yeah, man.

Getting closer. **** yeah!

better go ahead and add a +1 for me.

Too late.

You pregnant?

Sorry guys. Wife has to work volunteer hours for my kids school. I know you all are sooo disappointed.

Yes, I told her about this before she made other plans. She forgot all about it and made other plans. So this is on HER not ME. :D

Very possible. Congrats man!

Yeah yeah.

LMAO I should take that as a challange to see how many events she can legitimately miss.

Dingleberry will come

If you guys want to have a little fun with my son, this year his 7th grade team went undefeated, and he was the Center on that team. He was also picked up on an All-Star Team, but the other QB's bitched that he snapped the ball too hard... remember, he's only 12... and he weighs as much as I did my junior year of high school.

You mean you weren't already?

Is everybody still in? I know we're getting a little winter weather with the snow or wintry mix tonight. Tomorrow looks clear, though.

I'm definitely in.....as soon as I remember to get a hotel room. :doh!:

I know we don't have a ton of room but you are always welcome to crash at our place. :thumb:

I know.......this is more of a "I've been busy as hell this week" and just haven't had the opportunity to get one. I will at some point today though....if not, I call the master bedroom.

Mine did for a few days but she was in a coma...

I've had a lot of morning sickness, but I don't think it has anything to do with pregnancy.

I heard St. Joe will get the worst of it (2-6 inches), but KC (and assuming Topeka as well) will only get a slight dusting.

Holding out hope its not too bad, and it would have to be pretty severe for me to cancel.

I call the bathtub!

Bill Self said this morning that he expects Tarik Black (ankle) to play Saturday at Texas. Conner Frankamp (knee) is doubtful.

Damnit! I always forget to call the bathtub.

Very good news about Black...

Should be a helluva game with some great company!!

Mr Laz I see you posting in this thread. When are you gonna finally join us?

I see I have not been added to the OP yet.

So my plan was to go to Lawrence tonight, hang out with some friends, crash there and roll to T town from Lawrence tomorrow after lunch. This icy bullshit made me stay in KC tonight.

I hope it all gets cleared up by tomorrow afternoon. I don't see any reasons why it wouldn't, right?

.

Not sure what your point is.

Serious ice and sleet falling in Lawrence right now. I won't hazard the trip if the roads aren't safe.

in case there is a misunderstanding to my previous post. My wife is not coming. I still am.

Got it. I interpreted it as she had other plans, so you couldn't make it for some reason. Updating OP now.

Haven't been out yet but I would bet that KDOT has the highways cleared and safe. Not sure about the rest. Getting ready to find out how the Topeka roads are here in a few.

Well as expected the highways are good. The roads around Topeka are not great but not terrible. I got around just fine with my front wheel drive car. I did see one or two city trucks out plowing but I'm sure it will be awhile before all of the roads are cleared. Topeka is notoriously slow at getting the roads clear.

I'm going to get out for a bit and check the roads when I drop my daughter off at the gym. If conditions are as they appear, we'll probably make it.

I looked around the Topeka KDOT twitter and they say road conditions vary but starting to melt and hope they will be mostly dry by afternoon (at least thats how I interpretted it, I dont speak twitter very well)

KCMO hasnt plowed or salted a single road all year and cars are wizzing by like its any normal day.

I'm driving around now and roads are decent, just drive a tad slower.

I was considering making a surprise appearance to this but I really don't like basketball in February enough to justify 3+ hours of driving on shitty roads today. I'm not sure what my point is but if we could make this thread about me for a while, that sure would make me feel better.

Ok, Phil is a puss. :D

This might help if you want to see the road conditions. This is KDOT's Kandrive site.

Hard to make it to Topeka since you always have an awesome Springfield get together to look forward to. We understand.

Main roads in Topeka aren't bad at all. Just slush.

Have fun guys. Safe travels.

We are Lazy Toad bound at 1:30pm.

Hey guys, I'm not going to be able to make it this year, but have fun and be safe.

I will miss your beard, Ceej. :(

no homo, you bundle of sticks

:(

I'm shaving this bitch now.

I'm almost there, anyone already saving seats?

That deserves a nut punch.

Same tables as last year.

Heading out... Plow's picking up the tab again, right?

Smirnoff's.....all around bar keep!

On our way

The company is much better than the game.

These people at this get together should never be allowed to get together again. They got an overdose of bad mojo.

Mr. Plow's fault.

Basically the same group last year and KU got the win.

Yeah, but UT sucked last year.

I hope you all had a great time in Topeka, KS.

Plow, where is your fry?

Brought you a book. You weren't there.

They made me get rid of the fry.

Damn it

I propose a name change for Mr. plow it should be tiny fry in a big box

Mr. tiny fry guy.

LOL

Can somebody please relay the fry story? :D

I will miss that fry. We went through a lot together.
