KU football is NOT going through a rough patch. Cheer on our hawk brothers here!

Obviously, Nebraska has advantages over Kansas.....but not a ton. Really, is there another real advantage other than tradition and facilities?

Good thing for KU that tradition and facilities don't count for much in college ball.

They've got the players. They're just one coach away from walking up the sleeping giant

They'll hire bowen after everyone on their short list and contingent list tells them to eff off. This will piss off bowen and cause him to become unfaithful

I heard a post game interview with HCIW Bowen, and he sounds a lot like Kermit the Frog....... As a player it would be awfully hard to get "jacked up" to play the game by Kermit. IMO

Sounds like someone Self would be comfortable with.

I'm genuinely curious as to why K-State has had so much trouble raising endowment funds. It's very curious. Is there something fishy going on or do K-State alumni lack the means to contribute? Does the average K-State grad give less or do they just not have as much to give? Or is someone stealing? What in the world is going on here? Their endowment is less than 1/4 of the KU endowment...that seems very peculiar.

it's quite peculiar.

I can't wait to mush people with UT endowment smack.  $20.448B

I'm starting to think, as Kansas becomes a bible-gun idiocracy, that K-State is emerging as the de facto flagship school of the state. It's almost like KU needs to be taken private so it can officially cater to the eastern quarter and out-of-state kids -- maybe try to lure two smart people to our land for every one our current regime scares away.

Also, State can put all the dressing it wants on the stadium, but it's still just a hole in a parking lot on a windy plain. But I do give them credit for making something, anyway, out of pretty much nothing. KU, on the other hand, has done a nice job of making nothing out of something.

I really dig the posts over there that say "Snyder tries to run it up on us all the time. He's a classless ass."  Like, it has nothing to do with how bad they are.

I don't see KSU on the list.  Maybe this list is only for institutions > $1B??

could be >$1T are excluded as well

VCU's endowment in 2012: $0.438B. 

In 2013? $1.327B

wtf?

"The large increase in the Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) endowment is primarily due to the board re- designation of certain long-term investments held by related VCU entities as "quasi-endowments." The quasi- endowments are unrestricted and not needed for general operating purposes."

could be >$1T are excluded as well

That's usually the case on these lists.

no real advantage beyond two gigantic, glaring advantages

Did they blame the refs for the beating?

Yes! I wanted to post the gems, but there's too many and I need to be productive today. Woof! That game thread.
