It's not just a place.  It's a time for some of us.
College is a time, Manhattan is a place.  That was my original point. 

People associate the good times from college with Manhattan.  Therefore, to many they are one and the same.  If you had a soul you'd know that.

College is a place, too, Queen Literal.

sweet.  well, i associate the good times from out of college with the rest of the world.  a world that actually has more to do than meet for $1 anythings on Wednesday nights at Scoreboards.  if you had a job you'd know that, maybe when you graduate you'll understand.    :rolleyes:

do i miss manhattan? hell no, if i want to drive to the middle of no where, drink beer with 17 yr olds and listen to the crickets chirp i can go to olathe.

i think some of you who graduated and and talk about how great manhattan is have selective memories of just how "great" college was, for those still there, well, you're just to young to know the difference.

We all pay too much attention to Icarus, and not enough to his father.

Yeah, that sounded wittier in my head than it did on screen.  And it didn't sound that witty in my head.

And you have to realize that most people that graduate from college don't do totally rad things as often as possible like you and me.  Too many move to places like Olathe and think going to the Plaza Art Fair once a year is a great perk that justifies living in a "big city".  (This is not just a K-State thing, FWIW)

god the kc-katpak'rs are gay.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

i'm down with what everyone is saying - I just think about it this way...K-State is nothing without the students/faculty, Manhattan is nothing withouth K-State.  You could move K-State and its students and faculty just about anywhere and we would still love it.   

ECN- I decided beers at Velvet Dog with friends outweighed new KATPAK emoticon :(

Nearly everyone wishes they could relive their college days.  The question is just about pointless if taken that way.  Missing a place, in a more meaningful sense, entails something like having at least a small desire to move back there.

manhattan is like a girl i dated years ago. you move on...date other women, but she is still on your mind.

years down the road, she gets divorced, and when you go back to her, she has changed....but there are small subtle things about her that remind you of the good ol days.

i miss manhattan for that reason.

stupid whore.
