Tech N9ne concert review

KC rapper Tech N9ne performed at The Granada Oct. 10 before his European tour By Ida Greenwell I recently went to the Tech N9ne show and, boy, it was a show.  This semi-local rapper, from Kansas City, recently finished his record breaking tour of 90 shows in 99 days and is leaving soon for Europe where he will be preforming in 22 different cities. His excitement was pretty clear and came out through his energetic performance. His set, although I have been told he has been preforming it for the last couple years, was extremely entertaining.   He managed to mix his gangsta rap with a lot of comedy, exchanging jokes and audience competitions with his co performer…

blau's two cents

By: Alex Blau So, here we are again. Charlie Weis is already finding himself in a tough spot as the Jayhawks dropped their first game of the season last weekend to Rice.   Things for this week are looking rather bleak as well. The Jayhawks are facing a TCU team that is ranked in the top 25 with a very good quarterback and an above average defense.   The Jayhawks are 26-point underdogs coming into the game this weekend.   I am by no means expecting a win this week but am very interested to see how this team is going to respond.
