What's this?

We ain't in Kansas anymore.

Joe was also hired before COVID. He has half a brain to realize that we lost a ton of money and people around the country suffered a lot more than he did. University staff took cuts and people lost their jobs while he made a cool 1 million to win single digit games. My god if all he has to do is take a non-chartered flight on the weekends as the main sacrifice then he should be happy.
He can leave at the end of the season and we can charter him a flight to Lawrence, Kansas.

Perhaps. But the 3 year model hasn't worked will either. Remember how -- TheDriver 02/24/2022 5:48PM

Ahhhhh......so the 2 yrs prior to Covid don't count. Gotcha ** -- gvegaspirate 02/24/2022 1:13PM
