Re: Where do you go to fuel up your vehicle in Omaha?

Kwik shop with Baker's fuel points. Hy Vee if I have some to use there or based on convenience. Kum and Go if not fuel points from others places. Probably go to Kum and Go the most.

The weird thing is, I could see NU making the tournament next year and Miles still being let go. This would be based on what he has coming back, what he has coming in and such. I think the one year extension is going to make it very difficult to hire a top quality assistant to replace Hunter.
