If you build it, they will come.

Kind of a serious question here.

But I wonder how much it would cost to built a monorail system around campus, from the sports complex to just outside Aggieville.

Badass or Stupid?  You decide.

Dunno but I want MOAR MOAR MOAR facility upgrades all around campus.

Love the new expanded pedestrian area and am glad the surface parking on campus is being removed.

You know what my gramps always said, "Shoot for the stars, even if you fail you might get a free trip to the moon out of it"

Badass. The cost of this project is merely a minute detail. This needs to happen.

not a fan of closing all the campus streets and turning them into short stems.

handle it like ku does jayhawk blvd, and restrict access during the day, but allow them to be open at night.  i really enjoy driving though the campus streets at night.

one of the things that you learn at fuqua is to set your goal as an all in plan, meaning "what do you want, no restrictions?"  richard branson type crap.  then slowly eliminate things when you have to.  i love the fact that the animal puts things like this out there.  sure we might only achieve half of it, but looking at things in a bigger picture helps the smaller pieces succeed and coordinates the effort of everyone at the university.  it's good stuff, the animal is a smart guy.

You know what my gramps always said, "Shoot for the stars, even if you fail you might get a free trip to the moon out of it"

I always thought it was the other way around: Shoot for the moon, for even should you miss you'll land among the stars

If you aim for the moon and miss you will sail eternally into interstellar space.

That's a lot to wrap your mind around.  The renderings tho! Is there anything better than renderings?

I was really sad to see one of the most used green spaces on campus become the new business building.

should I tweet at UPKS is Eisenhower Hall will get the ultra modern upgrade of functional hinges on the windows?  I'd be so elite to actually be able to open windows.
