1 year doesn't mean better football.  Football is all that matters in Manhattan (and the rest of the Big 12).  Has ku ever had college gameday?  No, so better football.  We are at times considered at top 25 "toughest place to play" in all of college football.  And when you beat teams like Texas (which I sadly missed), that just makes the whole football experience that much better.

Correction:  Manhattan used to have better football. 

'03 was almost five years ago.

Actually, KSU is still seen as the better football program.  It's hilarious that EA puts Prince as a higher coaching prestige than Mangino after one year.

Wrong on alumni support, more tradition in football are you f_cking serious??

I've been told by ku faithfull NUMEROUS times that Manhattan is a funner and friendlier town. Whereas Lawrence is more stuck up and it's harder to go out and meet people.

BTW when was the last time ku beat a top 5 team?

And yeah I know.....2 of the last 3

So you're basing this on an EA Sports video game where half the people who make the game probably don't even follow football?  Check out Sports Illustrated's list of top BCS coaches.  Mangino is 34th while Prince is right near the very bottom.  

ku's new football facilities are going to finally solidify our football program as the best in the state.  K-State can't live off of their success nearly five years ago for much longer.  

Wrong on alumni support, more tradition in football are you f_cking serious??

How am I wrong on alumni support?  Check out the alumni at ku and the alumni at K-State.  I'd say ku has a stronger group.  Also, ku's endowment is well over a billion dollars.  K-State's is at $295 million.  Care to explain?

As far as more tradition, I didn't say ku had more tradition in football.  ku's never had as successful of a 10 year period as K-State had under Bill Snyder.  Even at that, in my opinion the tradition of ku and the tradition of the basketball program carries more weight.  Not taking anything away from K-State, but you can't argue with the school that was coached by the inventor of the game of basketball.  

I've been told by ku faithfull NUMEROUS times that Manhattan is a funner and friendlier town. Whereas Lawrence is more stuck up and it's harder to go out and meet people.

It just depends on who you talk to.  I've got friends who go to ku who are from Manhattan that swear that Lawrence is the better college town.  While they love Manhattan, they just prefer Lawrence's laid-back environment.  

I'd probably agree that Manhattan is generally more friendly.  I think it has a lot to do with the fact K-State has a lot more small-town Kansas kids.  Those small-town Kansas kids are usually real friendly and care-free, especially when you get them drunk.  Even I get annoyed with the idiots from Chicago and St. Louis who think that their city is the best in the world.  

BTW when was the last time ku beat a top 5 team?

Well, we beat #1 Florida in basketball last season.  In football, I think it was when ku beat #1 Oklahoma in Norman in 1975.

That game was played on 11/8:  http://www.jhowell.net/cf/scores/Kansas.htm

The prior AP poll had OU at #2:  http://www.soonerstats.com/football/polls/ap/seasons.cfm?SeasonID=1975&APPollID=446

Still, a great win.  I take it you weren't alive.

Hmmm.... I believe the Vietnam freaking War was just ending.

I like them both.  They're both pretty much the same, just Lawrence is two times bigger.

I'd probably agree that Manhattan is generally more friendly.  I think it has a lot to do with the fact K-State has a lot more small-town Kansas kids.  Those small-town Kansas kids are usually real friendly and care-free, especially when you get them drunk.  Even I get annoyed with the idiots from Chicago and St. Louis who think that their city is the best in the world.

Haha, true.
