A.) Texas is never back B.) Can't wait for Oklahoma, who lost to Michigan and scored 14 points against New Mexico, to be ranked after this

Oh my. I thought Thornton was laying down to do a celebration. No, his ankle was grotesquely broken.

Tough day for the "Chiefs get all the calls" crowd

I think I've seen more people in a Taco Bell drive thru than are in that stadium
Hey @SickosCommittee is Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium the closest CFB venue to a Taco Bell?

The Royals had the 7th-best record in baseball in 2014 and had to play a one-game Wild Card and then made it to Game 7 of the World Series. And then won it all the next season. The playoffs are supposed to be hard. Why is there so much complaining about it now?
Les Cubs ont eu le 7e dossier du baseball après une saison de 162 matchs. Ils jouent un 2 de 3 contre le 6e dossier, et sont éliminés. C'est un total non-sens. Tu ne peux pas jouer 162 matchs et décider ta saison sur un 2 de 3. Les ligues de garages jouent des 2 de 3. @RDSca

In the LF seats. One of the best nights at The K ever.
Twelve years ago today. Where were you?

Are the Chiefs back? I think the Chiefs might be back.

Go Dawgs but yes this is true
Georgia may have beaten Oklahoma’s ass at football but it’s the other way around for country music.

If we can get Casey's here in Georgia alongside QT then my Kansas heart will be happy

@MaggieLJohnson you ever heard of this place?? Had no idea they’d made it down to Texas! 📍 Abilene, TX

Every year, without fail, on the first day of the season, we get a package from our kids' old daycare provider back in KC with a note and that year's flag. Not sure what this season will bring, but we'll be loyal and cheering all along. How 'bout those Chiefs!

"Shame on you!" chant breaks out as Roger Marshall makes excuses for his medical debt collection practices experts called "extreme" and "unbelievably aggressive."

I spent a lot of my life in and around Pittsburg, Kansas. They will not accept 0-3 there. It's never happened in my lifetime. Until now.

Heh. Never thought I'd see my neck of the woods pop up on here. We live on the other side of Country Club of Roswell. Yeah, it sucks we don't have much in a walkable distance, but there are perks here.
The absurdity of modern America cul-de-sac design: an 84-minute walk separates the front doors of two homes that literally share at a backyard fence. (Johns Creek, GA)

The number of people throwing a fit that the NHL's return to Atlanta won't actually be "in Atlanta" must forget that the Buffalo Bills don't play in Buffalo. The Dallas Cowboys don't play in Dallas. Neither New York NFL team plays in the damn state. This will not be unique

People have opinions. I'm not saying Atlanta deserves a third attempt at an NHL team. I just think there might be a reason they're not actually putting it *in* Atlanta this time

Also, I preferred the North Point location because I could technically walk to games there. But this is still just five miles up the road. I might finally have an NHL team to pull for. I tried supporting the Blues at one time but cheering for anything St. Louis felt wrong.

People always asked me when we moved down here if I was handling the heat. I grew up on the Kansas-Oklahoma-Missouri border and lived in KC for a decade before moving here. I was already used to hot.
It’s so hot in KC today they’re spraying down the streetcar tracks to prevent them from warping
