was it a subtle dig at ku, sure.  did it hurt insecure ku fans online, yeah it did.

I'm doing just fine, buddy. I think it makes KSU Athletics look insecure.

They are obviously very sensitive about the funding of their projects and we should be mindful of that

KU and KSU should take more subtle/petty shots at each other.  With college sports abandoning many regional rivalries, schools should absolutely stoke the ones that remain.

On the contrary, we very much appreciate taking dollars out of your pockets to fund our stadium.

If it's for the betterment of the state then git'rdone. I think having the worst facilities in the country is a bad look for Kansas and I have no problem with my taxes helping the less fortunate

I guess this could go into 3 different threads but given we were talking about it here, I guess it fits.

K-State Athletics is being a bit Tom Petty, here. It's an unnecessary comment, and as Goff explained to Fitz, the bonds were actually federal dollars, so, mostly paid by California, Texas, New York, etc. (I will continue to pretend they are dollars directly out of your Kansan pockets, though.)

Oh for sure. Honestly it's only a matter of time we put out something akin to the Government Motors signs you'd see displayed by some Ford dealerships.

why focus on the money others gave them, when we could be focusing on what their own won’t?

I’m all for helping the less fortunate. But when put against the backdrop of KU fans repeatedly saying for decades that when the time comes the price will be paid in a matter of a few phone calls.

Well, I’m still a bit surprised by this arduous path filled with taxpayer largesse

not having the funds to do the entire job has to suck for ku fan

just a typical case of one blue wing rising today, the other blue wing will rise at a yet to be determined date and time.

Maybe if little bro would save their money and not pay for mediocre things then they could have a v nice football stadium.

Well, right now they're talking about how they're going to be the #4 seed in the playoff which leads me to believe that they don't think playing in a half finished stadium for the next decade will be an issue.

How much of the stadium renovations could have been paid for with the funds used to buy the rules of basketball that were written in Springfield, Massachusetts?  KU has this weird obsession with the myth that they invented basketball, when all they did was hire the guy that kyped the rules from someone else years earlier on the East coast.  Then they spent millions of $$$ on the document and facilities to display them.

It has hit a very sore spot and the haves should be mindful of the have nots.

I’ve always generally supported higher taxes on the wealthy so long as the money is put to good public use. I think pitching in for the KU stadium is the right thing to do here. Just my two cents.

I do wish KSU could celebrate its own prosperity without offending KU fans, though.

if you’re redoing one wing at a time, that bird don’t fly.  ain’t a chance in hell those birds are going to the playoffs in ‘24, but I wish ‘em well trying!
