As a public service announcement to any ku Williams Funders who might be reading this . . . drop everything, go out and buy like $2500 worth of camping gear, food and supplies and head straight to the ku ticket office NOW!!  Get in line, and  :pray:  you get a shot.  It took me 4.5 minutes to reserve 900 or so donor season tickets, and twice the little "please wait" thingy was on screen for 15 seconds . . . your best bet is to load the whole family in the car get all the gear and supplies you can find and just head over there . . . HURRY.

No.  The student sports package is around $150 or so.

Don't worry about ku.  Worry about the fact that K-State ticket sales have been decreasing for five straight years, and that your AD is so desperate, they're selling single game tickets for $9 a pop.  Desperate times call for desperate measures.  K-State football... fighting for 5th place in the North.  Come get your tickets while they're hot!

Not to mention the intense internet marketing campaign (ever wonder about all those Jayhawk ads when viewing KC Star and Wichita Eagle online?).  Those ku guys are marketing fools, and you know they are successful.  Their own students and alumni believe ku to be an elite school!  How good a marketing campaign does that?  I'm jealous, because persuading a people that a mediocre school like ku is elite is quite a trick.

The worst seats in the stadium sold for $9 dollars, as opposed to handing out thousands of "complimentary" tickets?  Season ticket sales at K-State declined 11% over 5 years, that's a loss of 600 season tickets a year . . .that's hardly earth shattering.

I witnessed 52-21 in person and saw the 31-0 score at halftime.  ku has more talent and the best QB in the North.  Cling to Phil Steele's nut sack as long as you can, because when ku plays K-State in Manhattan it's going to get ugly.

1.  The "complimentary" tickets are only applicable to ku students.  Not everyone can use them.  LOL @ selling tickets for $9 a pop.  That just reeks of desperation.

2.  K-State's ticket sales have been decreasing five straight years, while ku just keeps breaking attendance records.  Every game at ku next season will be a sellout.

It could have been a lot worse than 52-21.  Your team sucks.  You have no good players on offense aside from Brandon Banks.  Your o-line/d-line are a joke.  Blame coaching all you want, but the bottom line is that ku absolutely kicked the sh*t out of K-State last season.  ku will be even better next year, while K-State loses a top 20 NFL Draft pick at QB, Ian Campbell, Deon Murphy, etc, etc.

Who here said that ku didn't kick the $hit out of K-State?

But thanks for making my point, ku fans should be all gigged, ku beat K-State, ku beat mu, ku went 8-5 and hung with ou for awhile . . . ku fans have declared ku Pre-Season Big 12 North Champions, ku has already beat the $hit out of NU and OU in Lawrence, and won the game against MU in KC . . . why are there still 1000's of tickets still available . . . why does the ku ad need to spend all that money on advertising to get tickets moving to fill a 51,000 seat stadium??

Why, because they have to replace Holt, Rivera, and Mort?  News flash: none of those guys were NFL draft picks.  Holt was essentially a strong safety.  Mort and Rivera played banged up all year and were horrible in pass coverage.  The '08 class was Mangino's best recruiting class until the '09 class came along.  This is the most depth and quality talent that Mangino has had since he's been here.

I get it . . . so ku will improve massively, but K-State has no prayer in the future despite the fact that the players will be getting vastly superior coaching, and K-State will at least recruit major D1 major conference talent . . . check got it.  

As I've been saying, ku still hasn't recruited well enough and brought in enough difference makers for there to be as big a gap between ku and k-state as squawk fans want to make themselves believe.  

But this doesn't have anything to do with the apathy and lack of ticket sales that have clearly set in over in Lawrence . . . who knew such relatively short term success would spoil a fanbase so much.   :dunno: :dunno:

James McClinton was Big 12 DPOY and a 2nd-team AA.  McAnderson was a 1,000+ yard rusher.  Rivera and Mort were solid in run defense, but were not very good at pass coverage.  Holt was a converted strong safety.  I'm just saying, it's not like they're impossible to replace.  ku has Arist Wright and Justin Springer coming back who are both solid.  Vernon Brooks, a Juco AA LB, had offers to Oklahoma and Tennessee.  Angus Quigley and Steven Johnson are both in the 6'3 240 mold and can really cover some ground.  Aside from that, the secondary returns everyone and adds depth.  The d-line returns everyone and adds depth.  ku will play more of a 4-2-5 defense anyways, so additional speed and pass coverage ability at LB should only help ku's cause defensively.

Every game might be a sellout, but its pretty apparent that the ku ad has to spend copious dollars on advertising to make that happen . . . apparently it takes a lot of prodding to get ku fans to move.  Just over a month before the season, the history making season, and thousands of tickets are still available throughout Memorial Stadium . . .

just to chime in i know this part of the argument is looong gone. but my grandfather and basically the whole side of my moms family has had jayhawk season tickets since the 60's and they got free tickets to all non con games last year the year before etc etc. kids from my high school said they can walk up to the ticket office 30 min before kick off for every season for non con and games v ISU Baylor and Colorado for the past 5 years including 07.

so don't be spewing only the students get them for free anyone who wants non elite game tickets for free can get them

The average Jayhawk is steeped in a culture of corruption and cheating (see probation for lack of institutional control, see corruption in the ku athletic dept ticket office, we DON'T see numerous other slimeball deals going on at ku, but they are there).

So...Jayhawks think everyone else is a corrupt, and as prone to cheating as they are.  As I've posted before, there's not even a hint of criminal behavior in the recent KSU fiasco, but ku dullards who think we're like they are, and want to rant about "embezzlement", "tax fraud", etc.   It's on message boards here, on the KC Star, and the Wichita Eagle message boards.  Talk about retarded, intellectually stunted bedwetters, and you'll get a beeline to a Jayhawk fan.

What is this, Mangino's 8th year?  By Snyder's 8th year we were averaging like 48,000 a game in a 45,000 seat stadium and that was with a completely retarded athletic director (running theme @ ksu)

ku associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said Friday that the university had sold approximately 35,000 season ticket packages as of last week

ku averaged 50907 last year, in a 50071 seat stadium, not quite to ksu's level, but getting there.

Only 35,000??  Not very good for the 2009 Pre-Season Big 12 North Champions considering the season is coming up at 1 month away.   So are there going to be 10 or 15,000 "complimentary" tickets for the first game??


Kind of sad.

They only give out complimentary student tickets, and only to the first game, to get more kids to buy the ticket package.
As the article said, 35k is 1k more than the same time last year, which set a new record in ticket sales. Looks like another new record this year.

Kind of sad that a school with 28,000 students, in a town of 100,000 people just down the road from KC, and with over 100,000 alumni within 2 hours only selling 35-38,000 season tickets for a 2009 Big 12 North Pre-Season Champion team.   Single game tickets go on sale on Monday, and still plenty of Rock and Chalk packs available for you OU and NU fans that may be looking in.

$50 bucks for the non conference games??  I'd be talking to the ticket office about a better rate, because $50 bucks a pop for Northern Colorado??  Plus the game is on TV . . . hmmm.  I'd think I'd be on the prowl for some of those 10-15,000 "complimentary" tickets.

What's Iowa State got to do with the fact that there are still 1000's of tickets still available for the 2009 Big 12 North Pre-Season Champions??

ku has more students than K-State, more alumni than K-State, is in a bigger town, and is a lot closer to a major metropolitan area.  Bragging about maybe selling 1000 or 2 more season tickets than K-State did a few years ago isn't much for people to be impressed by.

34 days til kickoff and still 1000's of tickets available for the 2009 Big 12 North Pre-Season Champions.

The fact of the matter is that ku is a basketball school. We consistently field elite teams and it draws much more fan attention. It's not easy for the football program compete with the preseason #1 bball squad that we have in Lawrence.

As we continue to put a better product on the football field field (and we are) the ticket sales will take care of themselves. Talk all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that our football program is winning more and recruiting at a higher level than yours. I don't see any evidence that this is going to change either. Don't let this distract you from your idle trolling though. Good luck this season.

Shocking how that works considering that it is technically an Iowa State home game.   I laugh at squawks who keep bringing that up, making it sound like it's some kind of arduous journey from Iowa to Arrowhead.

But congrats on your moral "there might be more Iowa State fans than K-State fans at Arrowhead" Victory.  

Now I know you're not the brightest bulb in the bunch but have you considered that Iowa State only had 6 home games last year, and K-State had 7??   You know, no end of season meaningless game.

But I am still trying to figure out what Iowa State has to do with 1000's of tickets still available for "History Awaits".

Self . . . ku is doing a good on the recruiting trail, but it's not like there's some kind of massive gap in talent between who K-State is likely going to land this year, over who ku is likely to land this year.   Come on man, ku ain't Texas or USC.  

Nole . . . still haven't found any of your posts on any FSU boards, can you provide some links??  TIA buddy.   :thumbsup:

Pretty ironic considering that K-State's only decent commitment is planning on taking all five official visits. 

got a link?

The fact that ku football is getting this kind of preseason recognition is really killing 'Pad.  You can literally feel the hate and denial emanating from his posts.  Oh, and by the way, 'Pad... ku's recruiting class completely shames K-State's.

Still amazes me people get all caught up in the recruiting rankings.  ku went to the Orange bowl with mostly two stars.  Per the experts they have been recruiting better and now I look at their roster and frankly it's not nearly as talented as it was a couple of years ago.   Everytime ku gets a 4 star recruit he ends up sucking.  The DB from TX who I don't think is on the team, the twin WR/DB from Lawrence I don't know what happened to him, the juco OT from Aussie, The rapist jc RB, the lb from TX that switched to ku from UT after UT dropped him for disciplinary reasons.  To a man these guys  have all sucked but ku fans still get excited about these rankings.    

When I looked at ku's roster and prefall two deep the other day I was surprised at what I saw. A team that is weak in the o-line with a freshman 260 pound converted  TE starting at OT, another freshman starting a guard, a walk who played TE at air force on the two deep at OT.  No depth at RB behind Sharp.

On defense ku has two guys listed as starters who were back ups on offense last season and have never taken a snap on defense.  They've got no depth at DE with a walkon on the two deep and they are counting on true freshman.  The  LB corp isn't very good, secondary isn't very good outside of Stukey.  DL is marginal.

KSU has it's own issues on it's roster but honestly when I started looking at ku I was surprised at the holes they have.  I don't look at that depth chart and see a division champion. NU for instance is much deeper and stronger pretty much everywhere but WR and QB.    To me football is still about the trenches I don't see ku winning the division just with good QB and WR play.

Either you're in some hardcore denial, or you just don't know what the f*ck you're talking about when it comes to ku football.  


1.  ku is far from weak on the o-line.  Jeremiah Hatch, Jeff Spikes, John Williams, Sal Capra, and Tanner Hawkinson will form a very good o-line next season.  Hawkinson is up to 285 and has quick feet and good instincts.  Mangino has had a lot of success converting tight ends to o-tackle.  Hawkinson has a chance to be one of the best lineman Mangino has had.

2.  No depth at running back behind Sharp?  Did you attend ku's spring game?  Did you see Rell Lewis?  Have you heard of Daniel Porter?  Have you heard of Toben Opurum?  If there's anyone that doesn't have sh*t at running back, it's K-State.

3.  No depth at d-end?  Jake Laptad had 7 sacks last season and 2 forced safeties.  Max Onyegbule is finally coming into his own.  Quinton Woods committed to Michigan out of high school and has been tearing it up in summer workouts.  Kevin Young will see the field right away as a true freshman.  ku's got plenty of depth at d-end.... this is the first year since '05 that ku will have a solid pass rush from the d-end position.

4.  Arist Wright, Steven Johnson, Angus Quigley, Vernon Brooks, Justin Springer, etc, etc. at LB to start the season.  More athleticism and explosiveness at linebacker than what we've had in the past.  Brooks was a juco AA with offers to OU and Tennessee.

5.  The d-tackle position is stacked with Greene, Johnson, Parish, Blakesley, etc.  ku goes at least 4-deep at DT with a couple guys who would start at just about any other school in the North.



Seriously, stick to something you know about, because you are absolutely clueless when it comes to ku.  Should be quite the eye opener when ku rolls into Manhattan and creams your group of D-2 scrubs by about 6 TD's.

I was under the impression that Nebraska was the favorites across the country and in the media, with a few people going with ku.  Maybe I'm mistaken.  Anyway, kus advertising campaign, along with everything else they have been doing is called building a program.  I know what your thinking, we don't have any power towels and there aren't any ripoffs of Pepsi in our advertising so they are doomed to fail.  Maybe, I guess we'll see.

I am looking at the Texas 100 right now . . . once you get past about the Top 25 or 30, I bet you could exchange the next 70-75 guys on that list with 5 or 6 other Texas prospects that aren't on the list each . . . and nobody would know the difference.

Agreed with Ben. 
uk is the deepest/most talented team in Big XII.  Filthy loaded.  If they don't win the Big XII it's because Mangino totally spit the bit with superior talent.  I'd hate to see this happen because it would be a clear message to recruits that he cannot win even when loaded like a howitzer.

After reading Ben's breakdown, I am not afraid to say they should pound UT and OU.  And with that weak non-con, they should be undefeated when they face USC/Uf in the national title game.  Sad uk fans aren't showing up to see this juggernaut.  maybe they will after uk rolls UT.  I hope so for their sake.   :hope:

Either you're in some hardcore denial, or you just don't know what the f*ck you're talking about when it comes to ku football.  


1.  ku is far from weak on the o-line.  Jeremiah Hatch, Jeff Spikes, John Williams, Sal Capra, and Tanner Hawkinson will form a very good o-line next season.  Hawkinson is up to 285 and has quick feet and good instincts.  Mangino has had a lot of success converting tight ends to o-tackle.  Hawkinson has a chance to be one of the best lineman Mangino has had.

2.  No depth at running back behind Sharp?  Did you attend ku's spring game?  Did you see Rell Lewis?  Have you heard of Daniel Porter?  Have you heard of Toben Opurum?  If there's anyone that doesn't have sh*t at running back, it's K-State.

3.  No depth at d-end?  Jake Laptad had 7 sacks last season and 2 forced safeties.  Max Onyegbule is finally coming into his own.  Quinton Woods committed to Michigan out of high school and has been tearing it up in summer workouts.  Kevin Young will see the field right away as a true freshman.  ku's got plenty of depth at d-end.... this is the first year since '05 that ku will have a solid pass rush from the d-end position.

4.  Arist Wright, Steven Johnson, Angus Quigley, Vernon Brooks, Justin Springer, etc, etc. at LB to start the season.  More athleticism and explosiveness at linebacker than what we've had in the past.  Brooks was a juco AA with offers to OU and Tennessee.

5.  The d-tackle position is stacked with Greene, Johnson, Parish, Blakesley, etc.  ku goes at least 4-deep at DT with a couple guys who would start at just about any other school in the North.



Seriously, stick to something you know about, because you are absolutely clueless when it comes to ku.  Should be quite the eye opener when ku rolls into Manhattan and creams your group of D-2 scrubs by about 6 TD's. 

1.  Hawkinson is listed at 260 on the updated ku roster that is where my info comes from.  He may have potential but he's a freshman and a converted TE  that has never played OL in a game at any level if this doesn't concern you then you're in denial.  The Wilson kid I  think is a frosh too frosh starters in the OL almost always equal not good.  Hatch and Spikes are pretty good I'm guessing they'll be much improved from last season.  Capra is limited and the depth is pretty bad behind all of them.

2.  I never said KSU was in good shape at RB but that isn't relevant to ku's situation.  Rell Lewis is listed as a returning squad member meaning he was on the team last year and didn't letter.  Didn't get a single carry or touch in a single game. The otehr kid is a true frosh no different then the KSU true frosh all the powerstards are talking about.  Not familier with the Porter kid at all.  You should have seen Keithen Valentine in last year's spring game at KSU he was awesome.   

3.  First of all when somebody refers to depth they are not talking about the starters.  You  have average big 12 North starters at DE in Laptad and the other dude.  Behind them on ku's official precamp depthchart was a senior walk on who played on the scout team last year and didn't letter.  The mere fact that you're talking about true freshman and a 6'5" 230 pound JC kid who didn't go through spring tells me you have no depth.  We've been there and done that at KSU I know it when I see it. 

4.  Your LB's are so good a RB reject who has never played the position can walk over and take a job with ease.   I'll be courious to see how Brooks does.  Late arriving JC players are dicey.   But again the fact that you're talking about him tells me you're not comfortable with what you have.  KSU is talking about Daniel Thomas but that is because we're sure as hell not comfortable with what else we have. 

5.  I never said anything about ku's DT's because I do think ku has done a good job there the last couple of years.  I don't see a world beater or standout right now but you're deep which I think is important at that spot.  I wouldn't say you're stacked but it's not a weakness the talent is average but the depth is better then average.  Who among those guys is better then Fitzgerald at KSU or Suh at NU or Baston at MU etc?  You're probably a year away from being really good at DT. 

You seem to be a little too in love with your own talent.  That happens if all you do is read fluff articles on scout and rivals and you don't stop to look at what others teams have and compare it to what you have.

i don't see how ku will be better.



Why, because they have to replace Holt, Rivera, and Mort?  News flash: none of those guys were NFL draft picks.  Holt was essentially a strong safety.  Mort and Rivera played banged up all year and were horrible in pass coverage.  The '08 class was Mangino's best recruiting class until the '09 class came along.  This is the most depth and quality talent that Mangino has had since he's been here.  
Newsflash: you can't pick and choose your arguments. one year you are telling us mcanderson and james mcclinton were studs despite the fact the NFL didn't touch em, now it's the opposite? the nfl knows all? :rolleyes:




James McClinton was Big 12 DPOY and a 2nd-team AA.  McAnderson was a 1,000+ yard rusher.  Rivera and Mort were solid in run defense, but were not very good at pass coverage.  Holt was a converted strong safety.  I'm just saying, it's not like they're impossible to replace.  ku has Arist Wright and Justin Springer coming back who are both solid.  Vernon Brooks, a Juco AA LB, had offers to Oklahoma and Tennessee.  Angus Quigley and Steven Johnson are both in the 6'3 240 mold and can really cover some ground.  Aside from that, the secondary returns everyone and adds depth.  The d-line returns everyone and adds depth.  ku will play more of a 4-2-5 defense anyways, so additional speed and pass coverage ability at LB should only help ku's cause defensively.

As NU fan, I can tell you that we would have loved to have Mort and Rivera last year and our D was better than yours overall.
