TK. Kam was good too. Ben and Sean gave some good minutes. Really impressive win when we didn’t play our best.

Dud to whoever is in charge of creating the highlight videos this year. The 2007 USF game that was only broadcast by the in stadium scoreboard was better quality than the videos MU’s social media team has put out.

Can’t have the haircut making clients nervous. Might scare away business. Fire him.

I don't remember the name of the barber or the shop, but when I was at MU I got my haircuts at a place on Wisconsin just west of Mashuda.

As a follically challenged gentleman, I'm no hair expert. But my wife thinks Kolek's haircut is a vast improvement over last year's.

So congrats to Goose's barber.

This is freaking me out a little. I thought remembered a lot about college at Marquette, but for the life of me I cannot remember how I got my hair cut while I was there.

The way TK is playing he could come out in a Mohawk and a nose ring with a sleeve of tats for all I care but I’m sure his momma would disagree

So if a male does their job well you don’t care if they look different than the traditional image of a male, but if a female does her job well she better not get a haircut that isn’t a traditionally female haircut or that won’t be the only thing cut?

Digging deep into the wayback machine for that picture. I'd forgotten that TyKo changed his number last year.

Hah, I just picked the first stock one I had without checking. Guess I need to ditch that one... He should have gone to 5.5 this year.

You may also want to correct the stat line; should read:

24 points, 6 rebounds,
4 assists, 2 steals,
37 minutes, 1 leg

I didn’t need one freshman year because I was letting my hair grow long after 12 years of Catholic grade/high school. Once I got that out of my system, I seem to remember going to a place up Wisconsin Ave. near Mashuda possibly.
