No weeks off

Kansas football won’t be playing this weekend, as the Jayhawks enjoy their lone bye week of the 2015 season. But that doesn’t mean we’re taking a week off from Pick Six.

Here are the KUsports.com staff’s college football winners. And some wishful thinking on the subject of September vacations.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

If you had a bye from working this week, what would you do/where would you go?


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 11-1

I would probably go to Chicago to
watch the Cubs host a three-game
series (Friday-Sunday) against the St.
Louis Cardinals. I’ve never had the
chance to experience a game at Wrigley
Field, and it is high on my list of
Major League ballparks to visit. The
National League Central is loaded with
the Cardinals, Cubs and Pittsburgh
Pirates. Add the Kansas City Royals in
there from the American League
Central, and there will be some
exciting baseball to watch as the
regular season winds down and the
postseason gears up.


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 9-3

Have you seen the movie Fear and
Loathing in Las Vegas?


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 9-3

I’d play golf. Here, there, somewhere.


Last week: 4-2 | Season: 9-3

I’d take a day trip with my kids
Saturday. (Oh wait, that’s what I’m
doing.)


Last week: 5-1 | Season: 8-4

I would buy binoculars, head to the
top floor of the Student Union parking
garage and watch practice every day.
I’m that hooked on KU football.


Last week: 3-3 | Season: 8-4

I’d probably go to Vegas. I haven’t
had the delicious $7.99 steak special
(that’s not on the menu, you have to
ask for it) including salad, baked
potato and 20-ounce beer at Ellis
Island in a couple years. And I
haven’t traversed the casinos with
former LJW sports staffer Sam Man in
that same span. I also have sorely
missed the seafood buffet at Rio and
footlong hot dog at Slots a Fun. Oh
wait, that was Jason King and Kevin
Haskin who ate one of those footlong
doggies as I watched in awe.


Last week: 4-2 | Season: 8-4

Travel to Austin, Texas, to see the
Hot Club of Cowtown.


Last week: 3-3 | Season: 7-5

I’d probably spend it the way I spent
my actual two off days this week …
box of Kleenex on my lap, TV remote in
hand, allergy/cold/flu drugs coursing
through my veins. Good times.


Last week: 3-3 | Season: 7-5

I would probably need to do some yard
work. But I’d probably end up
binge-watching things on Netflix and
eating things that aren’t good for me.
Actually, as long as we’re doing
crazy-make-em-ups, I’d travel to the
California coast — via teleportation —
and enjoy the weather and scenery.


Last week: 2-4 | Season: 7-5

I still haven’t seen Straight Outta
Compton, so that would be near the top
of my list (I’ve got Ice Cube ranked
No. 7 on my all-time best rappers
list). Then probably a road trip to a
big time college football game.
