Current Monopoly Pieces
Recently, I obtained a new Monopoly game set. There are three new pieces I’ve never seen before. I did some research, and apparently it’s “new” from 2017.
I never had this Monopoly set back then, and I also never had this blog site during that time, so today I will personally rank all eight pieces that came with this box, and explain exactly how they fit into our modern society.
Football
I think every sport should get at least one post on this site. Hockey received one earlier this year after I went to the game between KU and Mizzou. This time it is football when we come back to the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium.
That’s right we’re BACK at the David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium (that is its full title and it is more proper if you address it as such).
Spring Game happened this Saturday, and boy did it happen. If there’s one thing about this Spring Game that you can tell someone, it’s that there definitely was some football there.
I don’t claim to know much about football, but being a part of the KU Marching Jayhawks for almost four years gave me the opportunity to pick up on a few things, but all of that knowledge I gained throughout the years COMPLETELY went away after I went to see this game.
First issue: Teams
Before the game even started we were stuck figuring out which team we were supposed to be rooting for. Blue? White? If you wanted to stick with colors of KU what ever happened to Crimson or Yellow? Maybe the in the next game we’ll be able to see those beautiful McDonalds colors together once more.
Secondly: The scoring system
The Blue Team had the ball for most of the game. They just kept scoring, and most of the time the people in the scoring booth gave them their seven points before they even attempted a field goal.
Every time the Blue Team scored (and they did it a lot) they immediately got the ball back. Unless something in the Official Football Rules™ changed this past year, I thought the other team was supposed to receive the ball after they scored, but nobody seemed to care.
Third: Halftime
It was like 7 minutes. That might not be the exact amount, but it went so quick, nobody in the band could go down to perform anything, or even eat the food that was provided for us.
On second thought, the shorter halftime was probably better for this game. It’s definitely a good warmup after many people not playing since last fall.
Fourth issue: The clock
I don’t know if this is a new thing this year, but in the first half the game had two quarters, and in the second half the game had a clock that never stopped. It certainly made games go by quicker, but it was very odd and very confusing.
But hey! Somehow in the fourth(?) quarter, Team White was able to score seven points by intercepting the ball. I don’t know how the extra point came into being because they weren’t allowed to kick a field goal. I’m honestly surprised that the coach of Team White didn’t call that out to the refs during the game. It just seems like poor sportsmanship.
Overall, it was a very odd game. Hopefully when more happen in the fall, this will turn out better, and the rules will be more clear, but this new system is awful for anyone playing and watching. It’s very confusing.
Congrats to the coach of Blue Team for winning the game however, and better luck next time to Team White and their coach.
I’ll see you all again in the fall for my final year in the Marching Band.

5 Things to Know About Hockey
Before last Thursday, I have never seen a Hockey game in person. I didn’t really know much about the game itself before I researched it right before.
Hollywood announces next movie starring Matt Damon is on hold
It looks like your favorite actor won’t be starring in anything soon. The Academy just released information that Matt Damon is stuck inside of a Chuck E. Cheeses restaurant and they currently cannot get him out.
Matt Damon is famous for movies where he’s trapped and needs to be rescued, such as The Martian, Saving Private Ryan, and Interstellar. This time it looks like he’s stuck in the rat’s pizza place for who knows how long this time.
“He’s not exactly trapped. He just doesn’t want to leave,” one Hollywood spokesperson said, “I think he might just be trying to avoid work.”
Reports say that Matt Damon doesn’t actually try to win any tickets when he’s at the restaurant. “He just either hangs out in the play area or with the animatronics,” one very annoyed parent said.
“He doesn’t even order a pizza or a soda. I don’t want to kick him out, though, because he actually looks happier in here than he does in his movies,” said Acting Manager Henry.
Whether or not he is physically or mentally trapped there, let’s hope our government or other scientists can get him out of there like before so he can continue making movies for us.
Fashion Options for the KU Band Member
As per the norm for Basketball Band, we receive a new polo and a new jacket to wear for the season. This year is no different. However, this year we received a jacket with removable sleeves, which greatly varies the options on how to wear it.
I’ve compiled this helpful list of 8 options I could think of on how to wear it, and help you become the fashion icon you were born to be.
Option 1: Full Jacket
This version of the jacket is probably the most iconic. Wear it with the sleeves attached for those cold or brisk days outside.
Option 2: Sleeveless
Getting too hot to wear the jacket with the sleeves? Just remove it and stay fashionable with this beautiful sleeveless design.
Option 3: Jacketless
Who needs a full jacket when you’ve got these sleeves?
Option 4: One Sleeve
Maybe only one arm is getting too hot for you to handle. Remove one sleeve so you can continue playing your instrument with style.
Option 5: One Sleeve (Left Arm)
Try some southpaw if you’re into that and only wear the sleeve on your left arm
Option 6: Pure Sleeve (Right)
Maybe it’s too cold for your arm to be on your instrument, but still too much to wear a full jacket? I don’t know your life.
Option 7: Pure Sleeve (Left)
Same as the previous description, but now on the left arm.
Option 8: Half-Cut
Only remove the sleeves halfway so you can show off those sexy elbows.
General Notes/Thoughts about Comics
If anybody knows me a little bit, they would know I’m a fan of comic books. They are INCREDIBLY popular nowadays. Most of the Marvel movies make over $2 billion worldwide. They’re prominent in movies, television shows, and even video games are based off of them.
