i'll take the cruise ship over their elementary school

but honestly, fwiw, i don't think KU football is hurting anymore. they've obviously turned the corner.

it's too bad that we're not playing in MHK this year so they could mock our parking lots some more while glaring at $180M. oh well.

I haven't been in the pillbox bunker they refer to as a football stadium in a while, but I seem to remember that it is mostly exposed steel and concrete. Considering the recent discussion on the BSFS expansion/remodel, shouldn't that whole place be fire-proofed at some point. I realize it was built just after the Spanish-American War and is probably grandfathered from updating code, but shouldn't KU provide the hundreds of fans with a safe environment?

KU's facilities are as good (if not better) than nearly all of the BigXII schools. The Football players do not see the interior of Memorial, nor do they use the restrooms or eat from the concession stands. They go from a state of the art football locker room/training area, out onto beautiful Campanile hill to the Stadium ... which does not look horrible from the field, especially when you consider they enter next to a massive score board and look up to see a large press row.

Didn't even mention the inflatable tunnel archway thing or white snake pyrotechnics smoke screen.

The privilege of walking from a building, across a field, through a chain link fence to get 60 yards from the field is not to be understated, however.

Maybe all their tube TVs double as fire suppression somehow?

You'll never win an argument on the asphalt. It's like speasking a different language. They don't even comprehend why you would need so much parking.

I went to the Okie State game in Lawrence this year and planned on tailgating with some local friends. As the game got closer I was worried we wouldnt get a spot but they assured me it'd be fine. Sure enough we show up and the 50(?) car lot is maybe half full. We left only a few minutes later after player introductions because my friends wanted to watch the Royals. (Don't blame them).

On the other hand we did hear every player introduced from the parking lot loud and clear from their massive scoreboard.

What a shame, work hard to prepare for pro day and ku shoves you outside on a dreary, chilly day. Meanwhile you're getting evaluated against guys who had their pro days inside dedicated indoor football facilities (like K-State) or got to run outside on song bird days.

Honest to God, I keep forgetting that they don't have an indoor practice facility.

Didn't we build ours almost 25 years ago?

They have a shitty one. It is their indoor track thingy. They have a huge roll out turf set for it. I was on it last week. It sucked bad. Like, turf doesn't laydown at edges and stuff bad. Also, it's an indoor track thingy. So, there.

How racist do you think the chant is? I'm guessing really rough ridin' racist, probably towards native americans.

Probably show pictures of the Haskell Indian "containment ghetto" when chanting.

If it doesn't involve wheat, a swear word or AC/DC it isn't a KU chant.

I was hoping this was April Fools, but I don't think it is.

“It’s something that you prefer that’s in your program and is already installed and it just gets passed from one year to the next year to the next year,” Bowen said. “Those are the things that I tell some of my guys all the time: ‘I’m a Big 12 football coach because I don’t want to coach Pop Warner stuff. Quit making me coach Pop Warner stuff. If I wanted to do that, I’d go coach my son.’”

The biggest takeaway from that article is the tremendous blessing that ku granted Bowen by NOT naming him head coach... There's not a coach in the land that has enough fire extinguishers to put out that dumpster fire.
