Come on, had K-State continued to suck in football, and had K-State not put the emphasis on football than nothing would've changed at ku.

Some AD beholden to the basketball coach would be over there running the show, 23,000 people (announced as 37,000) would be showing up for the games, except for the weekend that NU or OU came to town.  The big event every other year would be the 35,000 that showed up for the "big" mu vs ku game in Lawrence . . . and half the crowd would've left at halftime to go drink beer regardless if ku was winning or losing (this still happens frequently). 

So when does ku thank us for actually starting to give a frank about football??

Don't lie, 'Pad.  You just wanted an excuse to post that Mangino video, didn't you?

Seriously, though.  Roy Williams leaving ku was probably the best thing that could have happened to the football program.  Not sure how much of ku's desire to win in football was fueled by K-State, but I'm sure there's some truth to that.

    *A GREAT RUMBLING OF BASS AND MUCH SHAKING*
I don't really think there's much infrastructure for the state of Kansas to have two good football teams at the same time, except in a freak occurrence of a year (1995). So yes, it's probably a good thing for Kansas that KSU got better at football as it finally got the administration to get off their asses and say "hey, we're actually closer to Kansas City than these fools, why can't we be good?", although I think that Roy leaving was still the deciding factor. He kinda had the athletic department by the balls.

BTW, LSUFreek is a god living among us.

no

Kansas City proximity had/will have zilcho to do with being succesful in this state....

If you have the coaching staff to get the talent then you will be successful. We once had that.

Bob Stoops drove down to Oklahoma and came back with Jeff Kelley in his car.  Jeff was pretty much a Sooner recruit with Blake at the helm and Stoops was like, um, yeah no..you're coming to Kstate. I'll pick you up in a few days.

We had a great staff that new what in the hell they were doing. Outside of Bill, you really can't say that now, although I think Koenning has some good ideas.

 :confused:



Personally, I believe it had more to do with improving ku football.  ku athletics was losing out on an opportunity to cash in on the biggest revenue-generating sport in the country.  Something would have been done, regardless of K-State.

Whoa, whoa, whoa... not denying that K-State's success might have played a role in improving the ku football program.  I would love for ku football to experience an 11-year run like K-State had during DoD.  I just don't think the hiring of Mangino had "everything" to do with K-State.  ku was losing out on a ton of revenue by neglecting the football program.

Umm . . . there were other coaches interested in the ku job, and several them were certainly more name worthy than Mark Mangino.

This.  If MM hadn't been at KSU and under BS, no way he gets the uk job.  NO way in hell.

Only thing I thank K State for was banging those two sorority chicks who I told I was Trent Rezner so i could get in a threesome. Moral of the story, a month later I find out I have gonorrhea. So, thank yoK S Utate, I have gonorrhea and was able to cheat on my girlfriend and was able to have a threesome. Please, keep pumping out these sluts. Thank you.

No... that doesn't change the fact that the guy sucks at coaching.  He couldn't win at A&M for God's sake... why on Earth do you think he would be able to win at ku?  Last time I checked, Mangino has won assistant coach of the year as well as AP national coach of the year.  He's ranked in the top 20 of virtually every set of college football coaching rankings out there.  His '09 Jayhawks are the favorite to win the North.  Who are all these coaches ranked ahead of Mangino who wanted the ku job, 'Pad?

Are you kidding me? 4 of the 6 north teams last year were .500 or worse (including your sorry asses) and yeah our $hitty FB team is included in that. 18-30 in conf over all!!! YOU are pimping that? Your LFBIQ makes me look like the Steven FCKING Hawking of FBIQ!!! JEE-ZUSS!!! Oh, FWIW - Mangina was "discovered" by OBz when he was working at the PA turnpike authority - mkay? So yeah, uk football should be offering up fellacio to Big Brother. the end
