Tales From The Jayhawks Gridiron and Google's Attempt to Scan Every Single Item on Planet Earth

Get Your Read On

Working for what I would consider a mid-major player in the publishing industry, I'm on the frontlines of the whole "print is dead" battle that is coming to a head (read as fistfights) in corporate conference rooms across the landscape. The dire economic environment helps, but another accelerant is the work of Google. Somehow, someway they're going to find a way to get a tiny slice of every bit of content served up on the internet. Okay, how does this relate to KU football? Google books my friend. They're going to scan every piece of print that ever existed. What does that net for Jayhawk football fans? Right now, a really nice read from the "Tales From the Jayhawks Gridiron" book by Mark Stallard via the Google books preview above. If nothing else you get a great read from Bill Whittemore on the 2003 Mizzou win. If you click on the more about this book in the bottom right of the reader, you'll go directly to the Google site and you can open up a larger preview.

That's right ... dollar signs. More details on this shirt to come, but suffice it to say that Hawk Digest has now doubled the available game day T-shirts in the Hawk Digest store. This one should be good for a certain late November game.

Sawing Wood T-Shirt -- Orange Bowl Special

Sawing Wood T-Shirt Online Order Link

In honor of the Orange Bowl win by the greatest team in Kansas Football history, I set out to find a more reasonable vendor for the official Hawk Digest Sawin' Wood T-Shirt. The result is a move to Spreadshirt and a reduction from $20.95 to $18.00 for this popular game day shirt. Sure the holidays have passed, but you'll want to have this shirt for the spring game which will be here before you know it.

It's Finally Here! $17.50!!!!

Get your Sawing Wood game day shirt here! Cafepress Spreadshirt is a fantastic little operation. Before I get accused of ripping off Ryan Wood's Sawin' Wood blog, this concept has been two years in the making. Born of course at a tailgate in Lot 124, ROWYHO can vouch for me on that one. The Sawing Wood theme seemed to die over the years, but I always thought it would make a great shirt. In fact, one of the reasons I started the blog was to have a place to push the shirt. There were many delays along the way -- finding an online vendor with blue shirts, searching for art (had to have it created) and dealing with transparent backgrounds, but it finally came together.

Anyway, there's no better way to show support for the Fighting Mangino's than with this subtle game day shirt. I'll have mine in time for Baylor and possibly Manhattan. If I see anyone wearing this shirt on game day, you'll get to meet me.
