ku fans travel?

[catsdo]

The fans on phog are actually trying to argue that they usually bring a lot of fans to our stadium.  Does no one else remember how there were hardly any ku fans in the visitor's section 2 years ago?  I seem to remember their ticket office returning a ton of tickets a few weeks before the game.

How they can't sell out their allotment being on 90 miles away is laughable.

They had a decent amount of fans travel to Manhattan in 2003 when they thought Bill Whittemore was going to end the streak.  They didn't come close to selling out their allotment, and many of their cheap-ass fans stayed in the parking lot through halftime.  Most of them didn't stay around for post-game festivities. 

In 2005, I was expecting quite a few more ku fans to show up.  They didn't come close to filling up the SE corner of the stadium.  By reading some of the posts in the thread linked above, it's obvious that 20 or so fans sitting in club level seats and CPAHawk sitting on the 50-yard line equal thousands of traveling ku fans.

They sent a whole bunch of tickets back to KSU in '05, and then called selling out what they kept "selling their allotment".

[Bookcat]

They didn't even go to a bowl last year so I'll understand if their numbers are down this fall. 

The excuses are usually...

1. Other things to do (scheduled) on same date.
2. MU is their real rival.
3. Manhattan is a craphole.
4. KSU has bad fans.
5. Don't want my car vandalized...


But in the end it amounts to ku fans just not supporting their team.

Still laugh at this stat:

KSU vs MU in Columbia 64,657

ku vs MU in Columbia 55,614

[PowercatPosse]

I think they just get sick and tired of seeing their team kick only FGs.

We are ku and MU's main rival.

Illinois State brought more people to our stadium than the Phags do.

No joke.

K-State fans love Lawrence.  ku fans hate Manhattan.

K-State fans love Lawrence.  ku fans hate Manhattan.

Yeah...that's it.   

[mjrod]

The answer to the question catsdo is no.

[catsdo]

K-State fans love Lawrence.  ku fans hate Manhattan.

K-state fans enjoy traveling to support their team.  ku fans don't.  By the way fatass, when did you start posting here again?

You got a problem with heterosexuals?

[jeffy]

The excuses are usually...

3. Manhattan is a @#%$hole.

That lame excuse just doesn't hold water.  Hell, they come from Lawrence.  Anything is an upgrade!

[Dirty Sanchez]

And isn't lawrence where #5 on that list happens regularly?

[ECN]

lawrence is okay-not in my top ten favorite ks towns..but okay

[BMWJhawk]

Manhattan's too far away from a big city. 

[ECN]

so are you saying that lawrence is only a "great" place because is so close to a big city?


sometimes people move away from the big city to get to a nice place. like manhattan.

[ksuno1stunner]

Neither town is great, but neither town sucks either.

OMG.  Lawrence vs. Manhattan v183.2.  STFU.

[waks]

If I recall, Leyton destroyed this topic a while back. Anyone that wants to participate in the monthly Lawrence vs. Manhattan deathmatch should do so here:

I think most people would prefer Lawrence over Manhattan.

I think most people would prefer Lawrence over Manhattan.

The last time someone made that statement their justification for it was that more people lived in Lawrence than Manhattan.

[Pittcat]

I think most people would prefer Lawrence over Manhattan.

That's not a biased opinion.  Did you poll 1276 Lawrence residents to get that stat?
