I'm sorry, but I'm LOL'ing at this.

The are building this thing on their campus, right?  I get the whole placement thing relative to their beloved hill and the greatest setting in the history of sport venues.   But where it appears they're going to build it is squarely on their campus, back behind their stadium, and yet they're getting input from the community?  Bringing in Ma Blue Hair, the "why do we need that" townies, and the get off my lawners?   Funny

What would the military guys call CZ's move?

Full spectrum dominance?  Or something along those lines?

Last year’s starting center, Mesa Ribordy, has left the team due to a medical condition. Additionally, DE Isaiah Bean has left the team as well, also due to a medical condition.

Quote
Smith also reports that Antonio Cole and Justin Williams have had to leave the team due to medical conditions as well.

Quote
Highly regarded recruit Ian Peterson did not appear on the roster either, along with Kashe Boatner, Lucas Jacobs, Moses Marshall IV, and Ryan Renick, all of whom Smith reports have “left the program.”

With regards to the last sentence of that report, I would argue that if you ARE on the KU football team, then your future probably doesn't involve football.

This is correct

Yup, which is really impressive. And that was at a time where college athletics wasn't such a big deal, like you'd think a major school like theirs in this day and age of high dollar athletics would at least put together, something.

It still blows my mind that we won more conference games during the Reagan presidency than they won during the Obama Presidency....AND WE ONLY PLAYED 7 CONFERENCE GAMES VS THE 9 KU PLAYED FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY.

The only road game they won during Obama's presidency was at UTEP in 2009. They almost went winless.

Some phog guys are having fun with stats, here are a couple:
Quote
If we won't win 6 games over the next 2 seasons, then we will lose 100 games in this decade.

HOLY crap.
As far as I can tell, it appears that the 60s and 80s were the toughest on K-State, and even if I take our losing percentage and apply it to a 120 game decade, we never were that bad. If I did my math right, it looks like if we scaled those two KSU historically worst decades, we'd have lost 94 (80s) and  96 (60s).

Needless to say that KU is on an incredibly bad run. I'd be freakin' blown away if they win more than 6 in two seasons.

1940's were worse than the 80's and 60's (from Winsipedia)

1940s: 14-75-4 / .1573 WP

1960s: 18-80-1 / .1837 WP

1980s: 21-87-3 / .1944 WP

at 120 games, that's be 101, 98, and 96ish losses respectively.

Once again for reference, these were our worse decades. ku for reference 2010-2017: 15-81 (.15625%). IF ku were to match our winning percentage from the 80's, they in 2018 and 2019 will need to go no worse than 9-15. If they go 4-20 they will barely beat our % from the 40's. Which when you think about it, means they are barely doing better than a football team that would have been composed of guys that weren't somehow fit enough to go fight WWII for the better half of a decade. KU was also 45-48-6 during the 40's for that reference as well. Though, 1940-1945 they were 18-37-3, so they weren't immune to draft bug either.

Not sure I'd have believed this if I didn't go check the numbers myself, but sure enough...

K-State from 81-88: 9-44-3 (.186) - Assuming a tie counts as half a win like in the NFL.
KU from 09-16: 5-65 (.071)

Even if the ties don't count at all, it's still not even close.

Almost as amazing as what Gill/Weis/Beatty have done.  They've dropped about 20 spots on that winning percentage list in less than a decade.

One thing I've learned while reading this thread is that KU football is utter and complete garbage.  Sad.
