The fact that this country puts more importance on sports then education will destroy it. Has anyone see the movie Idoicracy, well you should it is our future.

I especially enjoy the part where "Idiocracy" is misspelled. Not to mention the grammatical errors as well...

I'd be interested to see how many schools are doing major upgrades currently. Not sure where to find that out.

The upper portion of the far North and South ends of the East Side upper deck get filled MAYBE once a season.  The top half of the East Side upper deck should be turned into suites or something else high revenue.

You would be surprised. They are actually fairly full more often than not. It's pretty crazy.

Pete I think you're thinking of a previous AD who didn't want to "under value" the product so he preferred empty seats.

It looks really neat-o! It's too bad the financial collapse is about to accelerate and we won't be able to enjoy it fully.

In that case,  I think instead of calling it the cruise ship, we should call it "The Ark" or "Bill's Ark".

You are right, when they say it's a sellout then the seats are filled.   :jerk:

I'd sell as many empty seats as possible, Pete.

If people are willing to buy them and not sit in them, I'm not going to hate on that.

Do you ever look at our shiny, new, hi-tech facilities and worry that the rest of the Big XII teams are growing beards and bench pressing horse carts full of people and being made tougher by their lack of basic comforts?

Yes, "posh", dammit, that's the word I was trying to think of to use in my above post.  Just kept thinking of "cushy" for some reason.

Not gonna lie, the thought has crossed my mind.  When it comes to the swank and over the top Las Vegas style opulence, I'm mostly worried about how this is going to affect the five hearts and whether this new facility is going to keep us from from recruiting the next salt of the earth walk-on from Centralia or Kingman.

doesn't seem like it's hurt our ability to continue recruiting walk-on talent in basketball.

Yes, I have two concerns.

1.  I echo the concerns about our facilities being too nice.   This dynamic could really upset the apple cart and really turn the eye of some higher rated recruits.   They in turn could supplant multiple DITR's from Hoisington and Scott City.   

2.  A recent in person observo show that the new practice fields are still growing in, and thus K-State will only be practicing in the stadium.   This really outlines the need for an entirely new football practice complex with both grass and artificial grass fields.

When we build new practice fields, I think we should surround then with 30' jumbo trons. Like 360 degrees. Then they could simulate any stadium they wanted. Just an idea tho.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.
