The Never Ending Story: KSU vs. ku

[SkinnyBenny]

Is some fool seriously trying to argue that the goalposts were two different sizes?  As if goalpost width isn't completely standard for college football and mandated by the NCAA?  "Totally, there used to be this basketball goal at Hilton Coliseum in the 70s that was 12 feet high."

Que up the video to 4:32 and tell me those goalposts are the same size...

If the endzone letters are roughly the same width on both sides, then the field goals look pretty similar.

Dude.  They're the same width.  The reason you probably see such a difference is because the uprights are so short and stubby compared to the tall ones you're used to now. 

Wanna know how I know for sure, besides just using common sense?  Look at where all four of the uprights are in relation to the hash marks.  Same.  Riddle solved.  If you still doubt it, we can find an architecture student to do a perspectives rendering to prove it.  Same.

Same.

[EmporiaWildcat]

You win.  After looking at the hash marks, they do look alike.

[Thin Blue Line]

They "were" the same size. Trust me.

[MadCat]

This all assumes the hashmarks were painted correctly.

In any event, I think those goal posts were only in place for another hour or so before the students tore them down.  Then they burned Aggieville to the ground, too.

We most certainly did not burn the Ville to the ground. Just turned over a few cars, lit some on fire, broke liquor store windows, threw beer bottles at the RCPD, then ran like hell when the riot squads showed up.     

So, you're a cop now, right?
