Great news Cats fans: Science proves we are younger, richer and not bandwagon

[treysolid]

On this Easter weekend, let's all remember how good we have it compared those living in Douglas County:

"But the numbers that may catch the attention of Lawrence residents more than any are the ones that show what has happened west of here in Manhattan. In 2004, Manhattan and Lawrence both had roughly the same per capita income of about $27,000 per year. By 2009, Lawrence’s had grown to about $32,000. Manhattan’s had soared to $40,358."

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2011/apr/21/douglas-county-capita-income-continues-lag-behind-/

this gap is only going to widen once NBAF gets established.  scientists, with all their intellectual property and general status as elite academics, easily make 3 to 4 times as much as your average Lawrence hayseed farmer or bar keep.

The wealth gap between the fanbases is widening.  I hope Turner can pray his way to some wins to placate those serfs.  I don't want them loading up their pig trucks and heading our way.

How will the phog flat earthers attack these stats?

They'll put some more fake salaries into payscale.com

So what is the point of that headline?

All the hate shows me something -- someone fears us.

That's good.

If I was a graduate of someplace other thsn KU, I'd fear Turner Gill's next twenty years & Bill Self's next fifteen years at KU too.

But how pathetic to write & title a story like this, presuming your readers don't understand college athletics or issues of cost/benefit.

Where did this writer graduate from?

And why didn't the editor double check his half story?

Mark Fagan: Education- University of Kansas

 

This pretty much epitomizes all of butt hurt U

Question...are we supposed to include bonuses in these talks?  Because like Frank, I generally don't.

Great question. 

When it comes to base salary from my employer I usually ballpark it within a hundred thousand give or take.  I figure close enough, right?

Doesn't everyone do this?

Who here has time to sit around all day and count their money?  

I leave that cac to my accountant.  Between most of my bonuses going to tax sheltered annuities and my LLC, I’m usually like WGAF.

I think it's cute how some of you young guys actually worry about a few hundred thousand bucks.  I remember those days!

Wow, I saw LSOC give a homeless man a full meal less than a week ago.

[Dugout DickStone]

It is important to share your filthy dough with those less fortunate.  Sucks that in Lawrence most residents are too poor to do that.

[O-town Kat]

Just like they cast away their athletes.  Don't get on the wrong side of anyone in Lawrencetucky.

Lawrence is truly a disgrace to our great State. 

[OregonSmock]

Lawrence is the best city in Kansas, without question.  Manhattan is Junction City with a junior college.

Maybe Salina with a junior college would have been a better comparison. 

[Dugout DickStone]

But Lawrence is so poor.  So, so poor.

Many ku fans have limited horizons like this.  They are oblivious to cities with a quality of life so much better than Lawrence, and don't even realize that all cities don't smell like raw sewage like Lawrence.  Kind of sad.

[Dugout DickStone]

Lawrence is Puttsburgh,ks but with more fat chicks, less money and worse football.

[sonofdaxjones]

JCCC-L is a pretty decent school for being a satellite campus and all.

[OregonSmock]

Manhattan, KS is a glorified Salina.  Sorry. 

[yoga-like_abana]

Let me finish my grilled cheese leftover from the Roxy's food truck that came to Manhattan and then I will have a rebuttal.
