I love ya Dax, but if you're talking about yesterday, it might have been the weather.  Something about 45 mph wind gusts, torrential rain, and dangerous lightning storms.  Throw on top of that a 2 hour delay and I'll give them some slack.

But other than that, they are still ku and still suck.

I think the weather and the fact that there is nothing else to do west of lawrence are the major factors.

True, but I don't think that necessarily trumps an 8:30 start.  A large part of the fans are from Johnson County. They could wait until the all clear is called and get over to Lawrence pretty quickly

Let's be real, fliers were going around the Olathe school district offering FREE ku tickets for this game. Not all of those 43,000 were even paid customers. Giving away tickets to pump up attendance has been a Lew Perkins strategy since he has been at ku.

The fixation continues...

The REAL question in regard to attendence should be....WHY didn't K-State sell-out for last night's game?

[Dan Rydell]

I was at Oak Park mall just before halftime of the ku game, and I saw lots of folks wearing the crimson and blue.  OK, fine...you don't want to drive a whopping half-hour over to Lawrence to see your team play.  But you're not even going to watch it on TV?

ku doesn't deserve a top 25 football team.  Their "fans" and their school, like their football team (as pointed out by the gameday crew), are all frauds.

But this is what Saturdays are made for.

[cireksu]

My inlaws are all ku grads, everytime I see them they ask me if ku won?  and they always ask if it is/was on tv.

[sonofdaxjones]

I am sure ku announced tickets sold.

Fausto . . . lighten up and merry christmas.

[Fausto]

"Fausto . . . lighten up and merry christmas."

I am AMAZED.  Very SHOCKED.  A reply where you didn't blame Weiser/AD.  You're loosing it NC.

I think I've mentioned Tim Weiser once in about the last month or more.

But thanks . . .

Same here.

My ku coworker who decided to rub it in last week said this:

Him: "So how about that game huh?"
Me: "Yeah how about it."
Him: "Well I didn't actually watch it but great game huh?"
Me: " "

[cireksu]

yeah, a coworker of mine Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge ku fan.  he didn't watch it either, didn't know it was on TV.

[Sandman]

This coming from the fanbase who couldn't sell out their savior's last home game.  The man who made KSU football relevent couldn't even get a full house.  I didn't see a sellout at the Bill last night for a night kickoff and a nationally televised game against the Big 12 North leader.  Attendance smack is weak in the first place.  Really weak coming from you all.

qfmft.

How was the game sandman?  what did everyone do when it was raining?

Game was entertaining for a while.  Got silly in the second half.  Baylor could do nothing on offense, save a few good runs in the first half.  I waited out the weather delay in the garage of the house we park at for tailgating.  Had a few brews and some brisket.  Very nice.  The weather was ridiculous all morning, into early afternoon; but once it passed, it was a beautiful afternoon.

Thus, my comment on your ku fixation.

[BMWJhawk]

Attendance smack is very weak considering both schools didn't sell out yesterday for a
Big 12 home game.  I don't care what the excuses are.  K-State/Colorado had a lot of empty seats as did ku/Baylor.

[cireksu]

we only sell out when we're top 15.

[BMWJhawk]

ku only sells out when we play Nebraska, K-State, or Mizzou.

[powercatmiller]

ku Memorial Stadium only sells out when we play Nebraska, K-State, or Mizzou, fans buy all the tickets.

Fixed

[BMWJhawk]

The same could be said for K-State. 

[powercatmiller]

sad thing is there will more mizzou fans at arrowhead and its a home game for you, that was included in your season tix

[FHSU92]

The same could be said for when K-State buys the tix ku couldn't sell. 

Spot on as always.  H8 it when you're alway right.

[BMWJhawk]

No there won't be.  ku was given the majority of the tickets and expects to have around 55,000 at Arrowhead when ku plays Mizzou.

Your team is undefeated, ranked 20th in the country . . . 7000 empty seats.
