My husband and I went into Joe College and I found myself laughing out loud, and I have virtually no sense of humor...but many of the shirts were extremely tasteless and I probably wouldn't buy a shirt there. There is one I do really like. It says "Kansas - Keeping America safe from Missouri since 1854." Now THAT's funny.
It isn't necessarily "profane," it's just low-class, crude and immature. Really, is that the only way you can express your sentiment? It's a slippery slope, and the more of this kind of language you allow as acceptable, the less educated, the less mature, the less professional (at some point in your life you might wish you had nipped this in the bud because now it's a habit) you sound. Ask yourself, why do I need to talk that way? If you are not preparing to become an adult in college (and if you talk like this regularly and think you are already an adult, you need to rethink that notion) then when exactly do you plan to prepare?
If they knew what they needed to do, then why didn't they? Every game is a mental test and they are failing these tests miserably. I still love the Jayhawks, but this is discouraging.
I had forgotten about that Senior Night basketball game! That was a blowout of epic proportions. That makes me not feel so badly about Saturday's football game...it was simple payback. Great article. I was going to root for the Longhorns, but now maybe I'll root for the Red Raiders.
Missouri being ahead of Kansas is not "disheartening;" it is exactly what I expect. I expect a lot better than 6-6 but not 12-1 this year. Go Jayhawks!
Its "Damned if you do and damned if you don't." Those who buy into the tuition compact should do so because they want the predictability factor, not because they think it will save them money. That predictability is a huge benefit to some families as they budget for education. Whether or not it will actually save money in the long run is just a gamble.
Even back when I was in college (during the stone ages) housing experiences impacted our lives in a huge way. Although I no longer keep in touch with any of my former roommates, the one I had in a double room during my freshman year was the matron-of-honor years later at my wedding. And now my own son became friends with one of his roommates from last year and they will be living together next year in Jayhawker Towers.
I changed career fields after many years and began interviewing again after...many years. I read a book called, "Sixty Seconds and You're Hired," which talked about the sixty seconds you have in which to make your case for yourself. It was a lot to absorb. I thought I prepared well, but I had forgotten how much practice makes a difference. When I think back to those first few interviews after all those years, I wouldn't have hired me, either. Fortunately in my last several I did very well and managed to land the perfect job for me.

What’s wrong with saying ‘douchebag’?

Kansas’ loss to Nebraska particularly painful
If they knew what they needed to do, then why didn't they? Every game is a mental test and they are failing these tests miserably. I still love the Jayhawks, but this is discouraging.

Dufek: Let’s wish Texas Tech luck this Saturday

A step backward for Kansas football?
Missouri being ahead of Kansas is not "disheartening;" it is exactly what I expect. I expect a lot better than 6-6 but not 12-1 this year. Go Jayhawks!

Tuition compact will not benefit the university
Its "Damned if you do and damned if you don't." Those who buy into the tuition compact should do so because they want the predictability factor, not because they think it will save them money. That predictability is a huge benefit to some families as they budget for education. Whether or not it will actually save money in the long run is just a gamble.

Students experience differences in Lawrence living

Hudson: Unprepared applicants cannot ‘wing’ job interview
