theJEDMAN NATION-A New Wave Manifesto
Documenting the JED Experience

I'm really disappointed in the world. My KU Jayhawks are in the coveted Fort Worth Bowl and I can't find anyone dumb enough to drive down there for the game. I've never been to a bowl game. Actually, I've never thought of going to a bowl game, but this sounds like the perfect one to go to. Forget the Rose bowl with UT and SC. This is the Fort Worth Bowl. The KU Jayhawks and Houston Cougars are not necessary going to pact the house, so I should be able to get a ticket on game day easily. It is the last time I get to see the KU football Jayhawks until the spring game. There are no other KU sports to watch all winter long until the spring game. I always suffer all winter long with no important KU sports to follow.
This is a reflection of society. I have no responsibilities. I have time off. I have some extra money. It just sounds like a good idea to go to the game. Back in my twenties, I didn't have money or time off or a bowl bound KU football Jayhawk team to go to see. The KU Jayhawks did play in a couple of bowls back then, but they were both in Hawaii, which was not really a day's drive. When you are younger, you are more able and apt to take a road trip at the last minute without planning. I went to the Grand Canyon on a whim like that back then. I had to get a lot of people to cover for me at the Subway and I had to really do some creative financing to figure out if I had enough money to go. Plus, the ten days I was gone to the Grand Canyon, I didn't get a pay check. Now, I get paid every two weeks whether I'm on break or not.
Most people around 40 have too many responsiblities to do something dubious like go to the Fort Worth bowl at the last minute. I'm not one ot them. Maybe, I'll find a bus with a keg on it this week that is headed down to the coveted Fort Worth Bowl. It is a big important bowl game. This bowl could go bankrupt and not exist after this year. It might be my only chance. theJEDMAN
