I don't know if you're trying to take a jab at Ponderosa, so I'm not going to spend too much time answering these questions.

1&2: They were going to be in Kansas anyways, everyone said Hoxie was #1. If someone would have said Norton or Garden City or Manhattan was the best team in Kansas, you can bet Ponderosa would be dualing them instead.

3&4: Everyone will get a kick out of that. I think it's funny that your friends believe that is true. Does it happen to be the Hayes family that you know?
