Title: How many former players....

...are back in Manhattan during the all-star break?  Have Beasley and Walker even stepped foot in that sh*thole of a town since taking their extended paid vacations?

What does it feel like?
Title: Re: The KU/KSU rivalry
Post by: kstater on February 19, 2011, 03:40:23 PM
Does anyone else think that it's gotten unhealthy?  As KU fans, we expect to win, and when we don't, it's a huge disappointment.  It's a lose/lose situation for us.  As for K-State fans, they have grown increasingly hostile towards KU over the past several years.  Their hatred towards KU just gets deeper and deeper as time goes on.  There was a day when fans like sonofdaxjones were the exception to the rule.  Now it seems like most K-State fans fall into that category.

I don't know... maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it's just the fact that K-State basketball has improved to a level where they can compete with KU from time to time, but it just seems like the rivalry is more unhealthy than ever, especially when it comes to K-State fans.  I remember a time on this board when we had around a dozen or so really quality K-State posters, and now that number is probably less than three or four.  Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, what are your thoughts?

After splitting the series with KSU this year, I would probably shut my face until you seen how them 'Hawks perform in the tourney. If you are this upset now, I can only imagine how badly it will hurt when we go farther in the tourney and KU has nothing to brag about in the offseason.

But I do agree, it's pretty much gotten extremely unhealthy for Ben. 

Plus, I always love how Ben and most ku fans brag about other peoples money.   Sad.

...so many former players come back to Lawrence. Seeing guys like Cole, Xavier, Sherron, Mario, etc. Just made me realize how lucky we are. You can just tell that all of them are so proud to be Jayhawks. They have a connection with the university and the town that's pretty rare these days in college athletics. We as fans deserve a lot of credit for making Lawrence and the University of Kansas such a special place. It's a great day to be a Jayhawk. Rock chalk!

Because in the last 10 years he's written 2 or 3 negative articles about ku, when the crap was really hitting the fan, Jason brought the pillow hard and fast to ku.

Oddly enough, an older KU fan couple who I sat next to at a C's beatdown via Nugs two years ago told me the same thing. Pollard was on the team at that time and that's kinda how the convo came up. At the time I was like of course who actually gaf about ku hoops and would go back to that backwater town but I never knew I would be able to contradict beems re: this info.

There's nothing more desperate than a mad ku fan rushing around demanding validation and affirmation with his oldfella talking points.   So, can you provide any proof at all that Paul Pierce comes back to Lawrence with any regularity.  I suspect Paul Pierce, like most star athletes, and pro coaches/major college coaches has set up an LLC.  I suspect Paul Pierce probably owns multiple properties and uses them for tax purposes.   There's a significant number of well known people who own property in Manhattan, at places like Colbert Hills and elsewhere.    They just don't blab about it all over the place.

Yeah... he never comes back to Lawrence.  He just owns a condo there. 


 :flush:

So what, he was given a condo to live in when he went to KU, and Lawrence is such a hole that nobody wants a condo there, so he hasn't been able to sell it.

His car was spotted driving down Jayhawk Boulevard just a couple of months ago, but if your ego can't handle the fact that Pierce returns to Lawrence from time to time, so be it.

If Pierce has a condo or is back in town w/o any media coverage, I'm assuming he's just doing a better job at keeping his baby mamma happy than Rush or Sherron ever did.

I'd like to see the inside of that condo and see who's living there and if they've ever seen or heard of Paul.

On the Paul Pierce thing, I know we don't have a lot of high-finance minded types on the board as evidenced by the lack of participation in the "How Many Credit Cards Do You Have?" thread, so let me break it down for you guys.

First, I want you to say something for me:

"I've got a little place in Oread"

Try it, just try saying it.

Rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Say guys, how'd you like to tell that hot secretary "I've got a nice little place in Oread"?

It can all be made possible through one magical phrase:  T I M E S H A R E.

Through the magic of timeshare, former Jayhawk players can have a little piece of heaven in Oread without actually having the hassle and expense of buying and maintaining a place.  But wait you say, why would Paul Pierce need to own a timeshare, he's got enough money that he could buy and sell your wives?

I'm glad you asked.  Through the magic of timeshare, Paul is only tied to Lawrence one week a year!  And if he doesn't feel like coming that week, he can lend it off to other former players!  He's also helping out former teammates by allowing them to also experience the sweet life in Lawrence - former greats like Sasha Kaun, Christian Moody, Brandon Rush, Russell Robinson, and Aaron Miles.  Heck, even former coaches can get in on the deal -- there are rumblings that a former KU coach whose name rhymes with Boy Tilliams is also in on the deal.

So proud that our former players think so much of K-State and Manhattan.  (tear)

Does anyone else think that it's gotten unhealthy?  As KU fans, we expect to win, and when we don't, it's a huge disappointment.  It's a lose/lose situation for us.  As for K-State fans, they have grown increasingly hostile towards KU over the past several years.  Their hatred towards KU just gets deeper and deeper as time goes on.  There was a day when fans like sonofdaxjones were the exception to the rule.  Now it seems like most K-State fans fall into that category.

I don't know... maybe I'm wrong, and maybe it's just the fact that K-State basketball has improved to a level where they can compete with KU from time to time, but it just seems like the rivalry is more unhealthy than ever, especially when it comes to K-State fans.  I remember a time on this board when we had around a dozen or so really quality K-State posters, and now that number is probably less than three or four.  Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, what are your thoughts?

Because they have douchey fans who make threads like this, just to start crap.

It is cool Cole, Xavier and Mario came back today.

HOWEVER.

Paul Pierce does not come back to Lawrence very often if at all.  He also has given zero dollars to the university despite making millions.  I love Paul.  Went to school with him and have rooted for him his entire career.  But to pretend he is a "Lawrence guy" is either disingenuous or an outright lie.



He has a condo at the new Oread Hotel, and he was just in Lawrence this past year, squawk. 


 :dubious:

Last Wednesday: (mostly paraphrasing...but close enough)

KU Fan to Lew Perkins:  Why don't former KU players donate more money to the university?  I've heard from multiple people that hardly any former KU players donate anything back after they leave.  You would think that the opportunity to play in an historic place like Allen Fieldhouse would make them appreciate the school more and want to give back. ( :facepalm: )  They're making millions because of KU ( :barf: ) why don't they all give back $100k/year or something?

Lew: It's not just a KU thing.  Most former players don't give back any significant amount to their universities.  It's especially bad at KU because of Roy Williams.  I was told when I got here not to even bother contacting any former players about donations.  They're off limits.  Roy told them all that they didn't have any responsibility to give back once they left because they gave enough while they were here.  I've talked to Paul Pierce a few times and he's a good guy, but he's not interested in donating back to KU at all.  He's never even come back to campus.  Not once since I was there.

Pierce hadn’t been back to Lawrence since the school retired his jersey in 2003. The years passed, and Pierce became something of a legend in Boston. He led the tradition-rich Celtics to the NBA title in 2008, winning NBA finals MVP in the process.

The relationship between NBA All-Star and his school was never strained, but Pierce became something like a successful family member who falls out of touch for a few years.

Former KU center Scot Pollard tells stories about spending time with Pierce as a teammate in Boston. Sometimes, Pollard says, he would ask Pierce why he never returned to Lawrence.

“Man there’s nothing for me there,” Pollard remembers Pierce saying. “Coach (Roy) Williams recruited me, and that was who my coach was and people don’t really care.”

Aside from the wacky ending ... the main storyline had to be the return of Pierce, who after winning 44 games against no losses in Allen during his three-year KU career, brought his A-game Saturday.

“I do remember at halftime, he said, ‘Look I’ve never lost a game in here. I don’t want to experience one,’’’ Blue team coach Larry Brown said.

“Now I’m 55-0-1,” Pierce said, his math off just a bit.

The 33-year-old Pierce said he had a blast during his weekend stay in Lawrence.

“It’s fun to be here around my old teammates and reflect on my memories,” Pierce said. “When I got here (at 3 p.m., Friday) I walked the campus, saw some of my old classes and where I stayed, saw some of the new things they’ve added on. It brought back a lot of memories. I was glad I was able to come back.”

He said he felt honored Self — who hosted a party for the former players Friday night — invited him back for the weekend.

“I didn’t hesitate to tell him, ‘Yes,’’’ Pierce said. “It was a no-brainer. I’ve been wanting to come back. I wanted to get back this year for basketball camp. It didn’t work out with my schedule.

“I mentioned to coach I think we should have something like this again to where we get together. This is a family type program. The guys that come back ... they stay in touch. I still stay in touch with Ryan Robertson. I talk to Mario (Chalmers, in NBA). We have that relationship because we are Jayhawks. It’s beautiful. Other schools don’t do this around the country to where guys come back. This is a special place. Coach said any time we can, come back. I plan on coming back a lot more than I have in the past. You don’t truly realize how special this place is until you step back away from it and you see it again. It’s unbelievable.”

Self said he noticed Pierce wipe away a tear during the pre-game video introductions of all the players.

Pierce seemed to really enjoy a ‘Pop-up’ video played during the second half, which delighted the sellout crowd of 16,300. The video showed Pierce hoisting the 2008 NBA championship trophy after he was named MVP against the Lakers.

“It’s the same, it’s just a lot louder,” Pierce said of the fieldhouse today compared to his playing days (1996-98). I was on the bench and could barely hear coach Brown in the timeouts. It was that loud. “I told coach Self I’d have stayed four or five years in school if it was like this in ‘95,” Pierce added with a laugh, referring to the fieldhouse improvements that came after the title victory in ‘08. “They have all the amenities I’m sure the players all enjoy, thanks to Mario.”

Sorry Beems, but "Legends of the Phog" was just a football tap out in late September. No one outside of KU really gives a eff, and even KU people probably didn't give a eff.



It's a pretty big recruiting advantage, and a nice source of revenue for KU athletics.

It is cool Cole, Xavier and Mario came back today.

HOWEVER.

Paul Pierce does not come back to Lawrence very often if at all.  He also has given zero dollars to the university despite making millions.  I love Paul.  Went to school with him and have rooted for him his entire career.  But to pretend he is a "Lawrence guy" is either disingenuous or an outright lie.



He has a condo at the new Oread Hotel, and he was just in Lawrence this past year, squawk.

There's nothing more desperate than a mad ku fan rushing around demanding validation and affirmation with his oldfella talking points.   So, can you provide any proof at all that Paul Pierce comes back to Lawrence with any regularity.  I suspect Paul Pierce, like most star athletes, and pro coaches/major college coaches has set up an LLC.  I suspect Paul Pierce probably owns multiple properties and uses them for tax purposes.   There's a significant number of well known people who own property in Manhattan, at places like Colbert Hills and elsewhere.    They just don't blab about it all over the place.





His car was spotted driving down Jayhawk Boulevard just a couple of months ago, but if your ego can't handle the fact that Pierce returns to Lawrence from time to time, so be it.

1) Nice source of revenue... like now that there's no more illegally selling tickets?
2) Revenue is driven by football. See conference realignment issues.
3) Can't pretend I'm not jealous of the event, but it does seem very early to be giving up on the football season.

Maybe a shot. Regardless, I said one of the few. If you do win that, the grand total would be 3, with no chance of winning another one. Even you apparently don't think you have a shot at any other home game. The fans will start going to get lunch just to talk about how much old basketball players love Lawrence instead of going to the football games very soon.

I really love the arrogance from Hayseed State fans regarding KU football.  It's just so rich coming from fans of a program that's historically one of the worst football programs of all-time.  Fans of an athletic program that have no national championships in any team sport (outside of soil judging).  KU has three bowl wins since K-State's last one in 2002.  We've won four out of the last seven matchups in football.  We own the all-time series in football by almost thirty games.  Get back to me when K-State fields a team that's capable of winning the Pinstripe Bowl against Syracuse.  Get back to me when your football program accomplishes something without Old Balls.

What else is there to do in Austin, Madison, Tempe, Eugene, Athens, etc, etc.? 


 :confused:



Lots of things...like go to cheer a team that has a chance of winning a game...or drink before a game to a responsible point so that you can remember the game and them eff chicks from your school or the opposing one who were at the game...or go to any of the many bars in these towns for their elite college atmospheres that include packed stadiums...need I go on? 

p.s.  Hows your trust doing with the market so volatile? Bad?  Decent?  Below Average?....or has the news from Europe over the last few days caused an uptick in your gigantic trust?

Hugged it out with Chris Griffin during halftime last night.  He flew in from San Diego to combo his ass off for both games.  So blessed.
