Title: Great news Cats fans: Science proves we are younger, richer and not bandwagon
Post by: Dugout DickStone on March 11, 2011, 09:33:30 AM
Most of us already knew this, but now there is rock solid proof.

We make more money
We are younger
We are the most likely to actually go to a game.

Can't wait until the "world is flat and we all descended from Noah's family" crew comes in and tries to rip down science.

Doesn't include the cool graph from the actual paper.

Also, LOL that ku fans had to stay in school so long...

Although it happened nearly 20 years ago, the memory is still fresh in Phil Carr’s mind.

When Carr was a child, his family would travel from Topeka to visit his grandparents in Columbia. They weren’t affiliated with the University of Missouri, but the trips always revolved around a KU-MU game.

For Carr, it was a ruthless introduction to the passion of the Border War.

“I remember I spilled my nachos, and (the MU fans) just would be cheering,” Carr said. “And I was a 5-year-old kid.”

Carr now has what might best be described as MU fan radar.

“I would say I could point out a Missouri fan without them wearing any Missouri gear,” said Carr, a 2008 KU graduate.

Likewise, MU grad Pat Ryan believes he can spot Kansas fans in a crowd.

“The Mizzou crowd would be more fun to roll to an event with, but I’d probably have to have a bigger damage deposit on the hotel room,” said Ryan, a 1992 graduate and a three-time letterwinner on the Tigers football team. “Mizzou is a little bit more blue-collar lunch pail.

“The KU crowd is a little bit more spoon-fed and debutant and high society. My impression is KU people are just a little bit more needy and entitled. Sweater vest-wearing, Ivy League wannabe.”

But here’s the dirty little secret. Fans of the two schools — and Kansas State for that matter — are not all that different.

A Scarborough Research poll of 1,959 adults in the Kansas City area found that supporters of all three schools are similar in most demographics.

And in what’s likely a stomach-turning twist to the more hardcore fans, some of the respondents said they were fans of more than one of the three schools.

The overall breakdown showed that 46.3 percent of those polled called themselves KU fans, followed by 38.6 percent for Missouri and 29 percent for K-State.

If that seems on the low end for Wildcats backers, think again. Gary Raffety, a 1969 graduate of K-State, can remember a time when Wildcats fans were an afterthought here.

“Back when I was just out of college,” Raffety said, “you couldn’t go out to the store and find anything with Kansas State University on it. … Usually it was limited to KU and Missouri in Kansas City.”

So perhaps the number of Wildcat fans is unexpectedly high. A closer examination of the survey may be surprising to those with preconceived notions of the enemy.

Those “spoon-fed, entitled” KU fans actually have a lower average household income than K-State fans ($76,657 to $75,170), and Mizzou supporters are not far behind at $73,565.

Kansas fans had the highest level of education, averaging 14.4 years of schooling. But MU and K-State aren’t far off, each averaging 14.2.

The average age of the fans is similar as well: the average K-State fan is 45.3 years old, followed by KU at 45.9 and MU at 46.1.

That the fans are a lot alike wasn’t surprising to Carr.

“You hear those stereotypes, but I don’t necessarily know if that’s true,” said Carr, who admitted he was careful with words since his boss is a MU fan. “It’s too big of a stereotype to fall under. I’ve always had the theory if you go along with the stereotypes, you only make yourself seem worse.”

The poll results did reveal some differences. K-State had the largest percentage of male supporters at 59.8 percent, followed by Mizzou (56) and KU (54). In turn, KU ranked highest in female fandom (46 percent of the overall fan base). MU had 44 percent, while K-State is at 40.2 percent.

Perhaps not surprisingly, KU fans showed a higher level of interest in college basketball than their MU counterparts (87 percent to 79.2), but both schools ranked behind K-State (89 percent).

In football interest, K-State (87.7 percent) leads the way, followed by KU (82.9) and Missouri (81.9).

That speaks to the passion of K-State’s supporters. And if there is one thing that unites Mizzou and Kansas fans, it’s their view of Wildcats fans … though not in the way one might think.

Both Ryan and Carr actually have a fond view of the Wildcats — as long as they are not playing their team.

“I can tolerate K-State,” Ryan said. “They are more like an orphan and you feel sorry for them and you root for them.”

Especially when the Wildcats play KU. And Carr feels the same way when the Wildcats take on Mizzou. In fact, Carr has a number of friends who attended K-State.

That both schools are in Kansas probably helps bridge the gap.

“Maybe (it’s because) we have so many family members who go to both schools,” Raffety said. “Maybe that has something to do with it.”

Given the geographic distance separating MU and K-State, that rivalry is not quite as strong as the one between the Tigers and Jayhawks. Plus, Raffety said, the Wildcats had little football success before LHC Bill Snyder arrived in Manhattan.

“I think their attitude toward us has probably changed somewhat,” Raffety said. “We used to be Silo Tech, but now I think they have a little more respect for us.”

All-out loathing? That’s reserved for the relationship between the Border War teams.

The Nacho Incident will always stick with Carr — as will that early impression of Mizzou’s fans.

“It wasn’t just one or two people,” he recalled. “It was the whole section.”

I'm pretty sure those numbers don't include the salaries of goEMAW staff. Otherwise it would bring the average up closer to $80K.

Just told the ku fan that waters my office plants that I actually went to the game yesterday.  He reacted like he had just discovered fire.  Said he had never been.  Wanted to know more about attending games in person and not watching on a t.v. that is set on top of broken console t.v.

Well, we do know that much like this website, being a Cats fan is pretty much a sausage fest.  That's okay, sometimes it's necessary to keep chicks away from sports.

These numbers are hilarious.  First of all, nice sample size of less than 2000.  Next, only 29% of the respondents were K-State fans, meaning your average is weighted more significantly by individuals.  Also, approximately 60% of the respondents were men, and men make up to 20% more than women who have the same job.  Last but not least, K-State grads relocate to hot spots like Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City, while KU fans move on to places like Chicago, New York, LA, London, Australia, etc, etc.

the truth is that 99% of ku students grew up in kansas city and then 98% of the ones that graduate move right back home when they're done. it's a five year migration to lawrence where everybody yells home of the chiefs before bball games and rip their effing heads off for fball games. when their time in lawrence is up, they go back home (kc) to breed and then their offspring have their own migration when they are 18. veritable circle of life in lawrentucky. thunder, ohh ahh ahhh ahhh ahhh ooh ooh ahhh, thunder.  :lol:

Best friend from HS is a KU grad.  Played the trumpet on a Carnival cruise ship for a few years, now picking grapes in Australia.  Really putting that degree to work.  Sure, it's purely anecdotal.  But even if you consider kids I went to HS with that split between KU/K-State....it's very obvious who (by my measure) are more successful in life.  I have hired my share of KU grads and I like them just fine.  They don't know anything so I can teach them do to the job how I want it done.  They're also significantly cheaper.

I took the FE exam about 6 months after I graduated. I took it in Lawrence because I was working in KC. Calling me an average KSU engineering student is prolly a bit lofty, GPA isn't exactly stellar. I was in a room of about 400 KU engineering students. I didn't study at all. Was the first [redacted] out of that building because I wanted to catch the score of the KSU/OU game (we lost, but had a good first half). I passed that crap test. God knows how many of those dumbass hayseed engg students at KU ended up taking it again later.

One more admittedly anecdotal but quite telling example..

Uncle has a Master's from KU. Had been, for many years, relegated to shift work at a fiberglass plant.. until being laid off a couple months ago.

These numbers are hilarious.  First of all, nice sample size of less than 2000.  Next, only 29% of the respondents were K-State fans, meaning your average is weighted more significantly by individuals.  Also, approximately 60% of the respondents were men, and men make up to 20% more than women who have the same job.  Last but not least, K-State grads relocate to hot spots like Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City, while KU fans move on to places like Chicago, New York, LA, London, Australia, etc, etc. 

Best friend from HS is a KU grad.  Played the trumpet on a Carnival cruise ship for a few years, now picking grapes in Australia.  Really putting that degree to work.  Sure, it's purely anecdotal.  But even if you consider kids I went to HS with that split between KU/K-State....it's very obvious who (by my measure) are more successful in life.  I have hired my share of KU grads and I like them just fine.  They don't know anything so I can teach them do to the job how I want it done.  They're also significantly cheaper.



Nice anecdotal story, but it's complete bullsh*t.  KU alums make more money than K-State alums, and KU's classes are much tougher than K-State's.  Your university is basically a glorified junior college. 

pretty sure the star told me they didn't.  oh my bad.  sample size was too small, asked the wrong people etc.



Typical K-State education.  The KC Star didn't interview alums.  They interviewed fans.  It's no secret that KU has more bandwagon fans than K-State.  People like themselves a winner.

That's because they couldn't find any ku alums.

I've heard this from a few people who went to both KU and K-State.  They said that K-State was easy as sh*t, and they barely ever needed study.  Essentially, K-State is a diploma mill/glorified junior college.  On the other hand, they said KU's classes required multiple hours of studying every night, and were much more challenging overall.

I know 4 people who flunked out of K-State who all graduated from ku with ease, including one who flunked out of K-State engineering but went through ku engineering easily . . . he flunked out of K-State Engineering, but got accepted into ku's engineering program and graduated.

Thus endeth the Internet Anecdotes.

My Anecdote:

Good engineering friend (who now lives in Phoenix cause Cat fans are all over) went to KU his freshman year in Engineering.  His Adviser, a KU Engineering Professor, told him to transfer to K-State because they have a better curriculum and that it will present better opportunities for internships and jobs.  A KU PROFESSOR TOLD A STUDENT TO TRANSFER TO AN IN-STATE RIVAL SCHOOL TO GET A BETTER EDUCATION.  He also said there was no comparison that the courses at K-State were night and day harder than KU.

Being younger and actually going to more games than ku fans is cool.  Having more money is just the icing.  It's delicious icing, but just icing cuz being young and the best fans is legendary.

BERLIN—Matthias Kling, a physicist specializing in an emerging field of quantum optics, is among Germany's best and brightest.

But starting next year, the 38-year-old will join an exodus that many fear threatens the future of Europe's largest economy.


."I find it quite hard, [for a scientist] in a new field, to find a position in Germany," said Mr. Kling, who plans to take up an assistant professorship next year at Kansas State University. All four of the top applicants for the post, he said, were German.

I've always found it odd and somewhat pathetic that nearly all KU fans wear hideously ill-fitting KU gear while visiting landmarks after selling the old family truck (or whatever) to finance the trip...as if some 14 year-old boy in San Francisco might google KU after seeing Cindy McLarge (or whatever) wearing crimson and blue Hammer pants and a Keith Langford jersey on the Golden Gate Bridge.  This story kind of pulls it all together for me.  A real eye-opener.  Financial instability and delusions of grandeur make for a particularly volatile crocktail, friends.  Please think of your KU-grad friends before having your assistants take your old belongings to Goodwill.

These numbers are hilarious.  First of all, nice sample size of less than 2000.  Next, only 29% of the respondents were K-State fans, meaning your average is weighted more significantly by individuals.  Also, approximately 60% of the respondents were men, and men make up to 20% more than women who have the same job.  Last but not least, K-State grads relocate to hot spots like Topeka, Wichita, and Kansas City, while KU fans move on to places like Chicago, New York, LA, London, Australia, etc, etc.  

You're not effing serious, brah, are you?  You take this too seriously.  Go drink a pint of Ninkasi Tricerahops (made in Eugene) and some Momokawa Junmai Ginjo organic sake (made in Forest Grove) at one of our fine local drinking establishments and chill the eff out.  You can't be this high-strung in Oregon, brah.  We might kick you out.

Guys, true story.  I was at Hen House this morning and I saw some KU fans wearing B12 championship shirts from 4 years ago.  I figured that they probably didn't attend KU since most of their fans don't, but I figured I would give it a shot.  I asked them if they went to KU and surprisingly they did.  They were pretty nice people so I decided to give them some money so they could get a ride downtown and have a few drinks at the P and L tonight during the game.  I figured it was the least I could do you know.

First of all I just want to say we're all one big Sunflower Family, but as Limestone pointed out, some family members just live in better neighborhoods and towns, in this case the right side of the track crowd has K-State flags in front of their house. 

Also want to agree with Pete and others, debate over this is like dealing with Flat Earth types.    There's nothing to debate here.

Best friend from HS is a KU grad.  Played the trumpet on a Carnival cruise ship for a few years, now picking grapes in Australia.  Really putting that degree to work.  Sure, it's purely anecdotal.  But even if you consider kids I went to HS with that split between KU/K-State....it's very obvious who (by my measure) are more successful in life.  I have hired my share of KU grads and I like them just fine.  They don't know anything so I can teach them do to the job how I want it done.  They're also significantly cheaper.



Nice anecdotal story, but it's complete bullsh*t.  KU alums make more money than K-State alums, and KU's classes are much tougher than K-State's.  Your university is basically a glorified junior college. 

pretty sure the star told me they didn't.  oh my bad.  sample size was too small, asked the wrong people etc.



Typical K-State education.  The KC Star didn't interview alums.  They interviewed fans.  It's no secret that KU has more bandwagon fans than K-State.  People like themselves a winner.

That's because they couldn't find any ku alums.



Yeah... it's really hard to find KU alums in the KC metro.


 :facepalm:

Of Course KU fans are well traveled and cultured and KSU fans are all hayseeds. I'll be sure to keep that in mind next time i'm on the tube headed to an elite dinner spot in London or club in Soho. I'm sure Oregon is nice though too. I hear they have trees there and stuff. :popcorn:

Anschutz's father was a land investor who invested in ranches in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and eventually went into the oil-drilling business.

Political and Christian activism

Often identified as "Christian billionaire Phil Anschutz", he is a Republican donor who supported George W. Bush's administration. He has been an active patron of a number of religious and conservative causes:

- Helped fund Colorado's 1992 Amendment 2, [b}a ballot initiative designed to overturn local and state laws that prohibit discrimination against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation[/b] but was invalidated by Romer v. Evans after it passed.

- Helped fund the Discovery Institute, a think tank based in Seattle, Washington that promotes intelligent design and criticizes evolution.

- Supported the Parents Television Council, a group that protests against television indecency.

- Financed and distributed films with Christian themes, such as Amazing Grace and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, for mass audiences through his two film production companies and ownership of much of the Regal, Edwards and United Artists theater chains.

- Financed The Foundation for a Better Life.

- In 2009 Anschutz purchased the conservative American opinion magazine The Weekly Standard from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

- Helped fund the Discovery Institute, a think tank based in Seattle, Washington that promotes intelligent design and criticizes evolution.

- Supported the Parents Television Council, a group that protests against television indecency.

- Financed and distributed films with Christian themes, such as Amazing Grace and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, for mass audiences through his two film production companies and ownership of much of the Regal, Edwards and United Artists theater chains.

- Financed The Foundation for a Better Life.

- In 2009 Anschutz purchased the conservative American opinion magazine The Weekly Standard from Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation.

'grats Beems.  A flat-earth, anti-science, racist, bigoted, rich, white, bible-beater that was spoonfed a fortune by his daddy.  He embodies the KU spirit.  So much to be proud of.  Truly blessed, you are.

How does Anschutz's politics/religion change the fact that he's got more money than K-State's entire alumni base combined?

Any ku fan who's upset about the scientific data that's been gathered by the KC Star should simply work harder and make more money and help raise ku's averages.  Show some accountability, you know?  That, or don't admit to being a ku fan after you've checked the $30-35K box.

If ku's athletic budget was nearly double K-State's it would be over $90 million dollars, instead it's about $65 million, not even close to doubling K-State.

In addition, unlike ku athletics, K-State athletics doesn't count capital giving as operating revenue, so the $16 million raised to build the BTF won't be counted as annual revenue for K-Stae athletics.   Giving to the Ahearn Fund last FY was over $16 million dollars.   K-State athletics sells more suites and club seats than ku athletics, and is in the planning stages of a $50 million dollar plus new press box and suite facility on the west side of BSFS.  Meanwhile the "Gridiron Club" is completely stalled and the track facility at ku is completely on the back burner, going into year 7 . . . and still waiting on that.

KU's athletic budget is around $78 million, while K-State's is around $45 million.  Like I said... nearly double, Mr. Invalidator in Chief.

Then ku's athletic budget is nearly $4 million dollar MORE than the made in total revenues in FY 2010 dumbass.   So you're telling me that ku's operating budget for FY 2011 increased by nearly $15 million dollars?  Not a chance.

Hey Financial Types, if a Director of a Corporation owns common stock, are there any restrictions on their ability to trade those stocks or be paid dividends on those shares? 
Not if you have good accountants and/or lawyers.

Like say the Director of the Corp has his own Corporation(s) that actually own the stock?


Sometimes I can't tell if you're joking or not.  Gonna go out on a limb and assume you're not in this case.

If you're asking whether there are restriction on purchases and sales of shares of common stock for members of boards of directors for publicly traded companies...of course there are.  Privately held companies?  No.  Restrictions on receiving dividends for shares of common stock?  Not that I'm aware of and none that would make any sense off the top of my head.

If you're asking whether those restrictions can be avoided if you hold those shares in another corporation that you control?  No.  It's called "attribution."  The same goes for immediate family members and even some not-so immediate family members as well.

Weird rough ridin' question d00d.  Did I miss a joke somewhere?

BTW, don't rough ridin' listen to MadCat, apparently.  He'll get your ass thrown in jail.

Sorry guys not to pile on with a story about poor ku fans but this one just broke my heart.

Was purchasing a beautiful Ralph houndstooth jacket today at MW in Wichita ( :barf: apologies to u cat grads who got stuck there because you are on the BOD at multi-billion dollar aerospace corps), but I needed something to drive home in and found a great bargain at the low-low price of like $250 or $215. Who knows I mean it's only money right? Sales guy asked if I wanted to utilize their free tailor but I said no, I would pay my personal tailor to handle it.

Anyways, was standing in checkout line behind a guy with a ku hat on whose wife was with him and he was trying to buy an $80 shirt (I only bought one at full price myself.) His card was declined. Tried his wife's, they looked worried. No go. Poor salesman had to break it to them that without money, they could not purchase any items from their store, per company policy. Just killed me. They bugged out before I could try and give the guy a hundo handshake, so I just hope they are ok. :frown:

Guys, while this is all great and proves that EMAW are all good people, we need to stop doing this.  I mean, what if KU fans begin to expect this?  Not that I couldn't afford it, but I am afraid the next time I am at Johnny's after watching a Kat game in the suite at the Sprint Center, the KU fans will all just expect me to pick up their bills. I am all for being charitable, but at some point people have to learn to take care of themselves, you know.

I think Beems is right the survey is not accurate.  The survey was taken about the time of Beem's Paul Pierce "is in town." He obvious took the survey. Raised the income of the average KU fan that are around Trim's 30-35000.  Explains lower number of games attend by fans.

Riley County also had significantly lower rates for teen births and motor vehicle deaths. Ninety percent of residents had a high-school degree and 77 percent reported some college. Higher education rates generally coincide with better incomes and better health.

JFC, put under the microscope of science, and KSU is just the best.

oregon state has an engineering school, oregon has a med school.






Oregon also has a law school.  Eugene vs. Corvallis is Lawrence vs. Manhattan.  It's the whole liberal arts vs. ag school thing.  Sorry, fats.

Corvallis, Oregon was ranked #48 on the 100 best places in the USA to live and launch a business by Fortune Small Business 2008. This places Corvallis as the second best place in Oregon to launch a business. Portland, Oregon(#6)(grats Beems)  and Eugene, Oregon (#96) were also ranked in the top 100.

This is all incredibly true. No one in DC or NYC can tell the difference.

About 51% of K-State alumni don't live in Kansas, there's a sanctioned Catbackers Club in Portland.

on a nearly everyday occurance, people ask me "are you a cat or a bird?" and this is from people in Oklahoma...you know, the state that borders Kansas to the south.  KSU and KU are interchangable in every way (from a national perspective).  

Just face it...you are us, and we are you (except we're richer/healthier)

I think it's safe to say ku fans are trying compensate for small penises, by claiming they are superior to everyone.  Not being able to satisfy a woman is probably a contributing factor to their high divorce rate.  Judging by the study, their wife got the mansion and beach house in the divorce, also explaining why more squawks live in trailers.  Sad really.

This is misleading.  Most EMAWs collect a salary of $1 to avoid taxes while being reimbursed with stock options, luxurious pension packages and other glorious manifestations of the golden parachute.

lol at KU grads becoming construction managers

Bro, you don't even know...
Did anyone watch Greensburg when it was on?  The show about the town that blew away in a tornado?  KU had a construction class or something that was trying to build a building for a business and they were a bunch of bumble effs that had no clue what they were doing.  I only watched 1 episode of them trying to build this building to the lead specs and it was a joke. 

Yes.  Embarrassing actually.  I'd say embarrassing for the state of Kansas, but probably more embarrassing for Leo.

I've always found it odd and somewhat pathetic that nearly all KU fans wear hideously ill-fitting KU gear while visiting landmarks after selling the old family truck (or whatever) to finance the trip...as if some 14 year-old boy in San Francisco might google KU after seeing Cindy McLarge (or whatever) wearing crimson and blue Hammer pants and a Keith Langford jersey on the Golden Gate Bridge.  This story kind of pulls it all together for me.  A real eye-opener.  Financial instability and delusions of grandeur make for a particularly volatile crocktail, friends.  Please think of your KU-grad friends before having your assistants take your old belongings to Goodwill.
Just wanted to sort of confirm this general observation with another anecdote.  I visited Pike Place Market in Seattle on Sunday and...like clockwork...there was some wannabe sports car (new Kia model, maybe?) with a GIANT effing jayhawk in the back window.  I cac you not.  It was the size of Mark Mangino's torso.  Would be more to-the-point if the KU bookstore were to sell "I-can-afford-the-price-of-admission-at-and-am-able-to travel-to-landmarks-despite-my-cacty-KU-education" window stickers, maybe.  I probably laughed for seven and a half or eight minutes after I saw it.  I'm sure that the fellow driving it was wearing an ill-fitting, red/yellow/blue sweatsuit/warmup ensemble of some kind...probably while consuming some kind of conspicuously expensive alcoholic beverage in a tourist-laden bar after positioning himself within the establishment to maximize visibility of the "beam 'em hawks" creed scrawled in the olde weste font across his chest.  Can you imagine such hilariously obvious displays of insecurity from Ohio State, Michigan, or KSU alumni?  OMFG.  LOLfest.

"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."

Was out in Manhattan this weekend for graduation.  After congratulating all my friends on their impending start dates at a variety of prestigious companies, I went out to Aggieville where I used my black card to buy drinks for everyone at the bar.  This included -- poor fellow -- an emaciated young man in a KU shirt holding a can of Beer 30.  I bought him a 750 of Sam Adams Millennium (I was trying to stay in a budget; I didn't know the man, so I asked the bartender to give him something cheap).  He took one sip, spit it out and made a face.  Said he preferred his Beer 30.  I was flabbergasted.  Here was a man who was so entrenched in his poverty that he had learned to actually prefer it.  As I slept that night on my Tempurpedic (I had the hotel bring one in for me, can't sleep on those standard mattresses anymore), I couldn't help but ponder what it would be like to be that desperately poor.  Even when I rented out Coco Bolos for brunch for myself and three of my friends the next morning, it still bothered me.  Once I got back to Westwood Hills I started to feel a little better, but I still haven't fully shaken off the experience.

Was out in Manhattan this weekend for graduation.  After congratulating all my friends on their impending start dates at a variety of prestigious companies, I went out to Aggieville where I used my black card to buy drinks for everyone at the bar.  This included -- poor fellow -- an emaciated young man in a KU shirt holding a can of Beer 30.  I bought him a 750 of Sam Adams Millennium (I was trying to stay in a budget; I didn't know the man, so I asked the bartender to give him something cheap).  He took one sip, spit it out and made a face.  Said he preferred his Beer 30.  I was flabbergasted.  Here was a man who was so entrenched in his poverty that he had learned to actually prefer it.  As I slept that night on my Tempurpedic (I had the hotel bring one in for me, can't sleep on those standard mattresses anymore), I couldn't help but ponder what it would be like to be that desperately poor.  Even when I rented out Coco Bolos for brunch for myself and three of my friends the next morning, it still bothered me.  Once I got back to Westwood Hills I started to feel a little better, but I still haven't fully shaken off the experience.

Yeah, the fact that FSLR's stock went up 4,685% last year totally killed my argument.

Beems knows a lot about the environment.  More than some of you environmental engineer majors.  Should probably take what he says more seriously.  Especially Solar Power.  Beems knows his Solar Power.  Probably more than some of you who worked on the K-State Engineer solar car, which has won multiple awards and races.  OregonHawk knows Green.



Why do you rednecks always turn these threads into a pissing contest?

Solar PANELS will never be a real viable option for any power production outside of making greenies feel better about themselves. There are other more modern ways to get power from the sun (even up to ~20hours/day) and even those are a drop in the bucket to what the world demands. So Ben, tell me how solar panels are going to do anything?

My parents had some solar powered landscaping lights along the sidewalk to the front door.  They were horribly dim, so they were replaced with hardwired ones.  You can buy 25 of the solar ones for $30 or so.

First of all, I would never pour all of my money into one stock.  Diversifying investments is one of the first things you learn about in economics/finance.  Second, pretty much everyone who follows the energy market will tell you that solar energy is the way of the future.  It's not a matter of "if."  It's a matter of "when."

I'm with Ben...I think solar (and other renewables) are coming; the rest of the world industrialized world is banking on it.  Below is a link to an NPR story from the other day, there was a blurb about Germany and Japan moving away from nuclear, and abandoning large nuclear projects that had been in the pipeline, and getting upto 40% from renewable energy, the majority of which is solar.  <Like most things, the US will probably lag behind...  :dubious:>

What about wind energy? I mean we live in a state that is known for being windy...why doesn't goEMAW capitilize on that with a few retire now bill windmills

The sun casts enough energy on the world to power humans super easy, but I'd like a raise of hands from all the retards in class that think we're anywhere remotely close to having it a viable option to supply enough electricity. Anyone besides Ben? There are so many reasons why we're nowhere close to it being realistic. Like, not in our lifetime without a major advancement in technology. If you think we can find a cheap, reliable way to collect the power above the clouds, relay it to ground level without major losses and can store that energy for the dark hours, then yeah, we’re really close.

Right now, the best are concentrated solar power plants in the world are only supplementary for peak hours and only worth a damn if they are in a super sunny part of the world like deserts (which most of the population in the world don't live). The best design I’ve come across are parabolic mirrored troughs with piped oil running down the focal point. This oil  gets heated to 500* or thereabouts. Some of this oil gets stored in insulated banks while some goes on to make steam and then recirculated through the troughs. After the sun starts going down, you pump the stored oil out to make steam. It’s a great design, but still won’t work for all hours and sure as eff doesn’t have an solar panels.

I don't expect solar power to be used as a replacement for fossil fuels, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if the solar power industry grows in the coming years. Europe has a very vocal environmentalist community, and renewable energy is stressed heavily. Renewable energy infrastructure will only grow in the United States, as well, but not as fast as it will in Europe.

All power will grow in the coming years because

1) population is increasing exponentially and
2) there has been a lull in the power industry due to lack of financing and there will be a positive backlash (most likely) in the coming years.

So yes, it will grow.

I mentioned them briefly, but ECOtality (NASDAQ - ECTY) is an up and coming stock to keep an eye on.  They just recently installed the first 1,000 Blink Electric Vehicle residential charging stations for the EV Project (http://www.theevproject.com/ (http://www.theevproject.com/)), and they just recently announced a partnership with global real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle ('10 global revenue of ~$3 billion).  Their stock is only $4/share right now, and as the electric car industry expands, ECOtality's value could really grow in the next several years.

Europe has a very vocal environmentalist community, and renewable energy is stressed heavily. Renewable energy infrastructure will only grow in the United States, as well, but not as fast as it will in Europe.

I agree with this statement except, austerity legislation has drastically cut gov't subsidies spent on solar power throughout southern Europe. The company Beems is talking about, First Solar, relies on Italy for 13% of its sales and those sales just aren't going to be there for the next couple years. Just this morning an article was released insinuating that short sellers were moving in on First Solar which is scary for a novice investor.

A stock I do hold shares in sent this in a press release earlier in the week and is somewhat telling of what the real driving forces are in the economic potential of solar.

Quote
On the downside, Italy approved a decree earlier this month that cuts spending on generous solar power incentives. Under the new solar decree, a transitional period with gradual cuts in incentives will start from June 1, 2011 and run to 2013, after which the incentives will automatically be linked to reaching a certain level of installed capacity. The decree aims to cap subsidies for solar developers at between $8.92 billion and $10.41 billion per year by the end of 2016.

So I suppose one could see a light at the end of the tunnel, but that's not until 2013, so why seriously invest before then? Also..unless you are comfortable with E.U. politics would you be confident that when 2013 rolls around that business just picks up where it left off?

If you want to invest in a super high risk stock where 4 out of 5 companies will fail, with no cash flow, that's entirely dependent on the whims of government, invest in solar.  I suggest roulette, much more fun.

2.  I have a trust fund with over $2 million in it, which paid my tuition for KU, and will pay for my kid's tuition.  

3.  The weather today in the Portland area was perfect.  About 70-75 degrees, sunny, a nice cool ocean breeze, with a fresh scent of Douglas Firs in the air.

Now, you realize the donations are going to Big Brothers Big Sisters, not goEMAW, right?

As for reasons:

Tax deductions (comes in handy when dealing with the large income figures you're burdened with).
At least one other squawk has donated.
AFAIK, only one kid in all of the Sedgwick BBBS program hates you.
You promised, and you don't want to give LSOC another reason to call you a liar.

Farmers’ successful year helps other parts of U.S. economy

By DIANE STAFFORD

The Kansas City Star

An overall lackluster economy is masking a bright spot: the farm economy.

Despite isolated droughts and floods that have ruined some Midwest crops this spring, times are generally good for U.S. farmers.

And that is creating a financial trickle-down throughout agriculture-related industries. Sales of big farm implements, for example, are strong.

Net income at John Deere & Co. doubled in the first half of this year compared with the same time last year. And that’s good news for more than just Deere.

“When farmers buy a $300,000 combine, the people at the factory who build the combine have jobs, the parts supplier has jobs, the truckers who take the stuff up and down the highways have jobs, and I make a living off a farmer,” said Greg Schwartz, who sells agricultural implements at the Heritage Tractor dealership in Baldwin City, Kan.

Even the government’s report last week that the corn crop is likely to be smaller this year sent farm machinery company stocks higher based on the upward push that report gave to corn prices — fostering the expectation that more farm equipment will be bought.

Schwartz is careful to note that the high crop prices pumping up farm income are balanced by high expenses.

“Farmers’ costs are incredibly high and keep going up,” he said. “Record prices on the commodities board means the price of a bag of seed corn goes up, along with the price of fertilizers and chemicals and the fuel the farmer needs to put in that combine in the field.”

A bag of seed corn costs more than $200 to plant about four acres, he noted.

But the good news on the sale side is that a bushel of corn is up to about $7.50 from $4 a year ago.

Overall, net farm income is expected to be about 20 percent higher in 2011 than 2010, said Jason Henderson, economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s Omaha, Neb., branch.

“The row crop side — corn, wheat, beans and cotton — will lead most of the gains, but cattle and hog producers are returning to profitability,” Henderson said. “That translates into more jobs on the farms and ranches, and it fosters increases in hours worked and wage rates in the food processing companies.”

Henderson also noted that farmland values are up. At a time when housing prices have slumped or stagnated, farm acreage is selling at up to 20 percent higher than last year in some markets, with institutional investors as well as farmers buying.

“An indirect effect is that improves farmers’ balance sheets, and that makes it easier to get loans,” said Tom Jackson, a regional economist with IHS Global Insight. Farming, he noted, is a “very credit-driven industry.”

Another big plus for the farm economy is higher export demand, especially from China. In addition to row crops, pork, particularly, is a rising export.

Rising domestic demand and global demand are fueling a need for bioscience experts to help improve crop yields.

The health of the farm economy — unlike the economy at large — isn’t as tied to employment or unemployment statistics, simply because the demand for labor is relatively small.

Still, employment in the agricultural sector rose 1.83 percent from March 2010 to March 2011 — a healthy sign compared with a barely perceptible gain of 0.69 percent in the non-farm sector, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.

And more job growth is expected.

“In the past five years we hired 4,000 people, and we expect to add another 4,000 in the next five years,” said Randy Minton, business director for Pioneer Hi-Bred International, a seed and crop protection company. “We need more genetics researchers, more plant breeders, more agronomic sales and marketing folk.”

Pioneer, among other agricultural research companies, is recruiting deep into college agricultural programs — especially, Minton said, at about 30 land grant universities such as Kansas State, Iowa State, Nebraska and Missouri.

“Worldwide, people are eating better, demanding more protein in their diets,” Minton said. “It’s a very small population of farmers that will actually meet the global demand for food for people, the feed for animals and the bio materials needed.”

The United States is the world’s largest exporter of corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton and sorghum. This year, the forecast calls for about 13.3 percent of the corn crop and 51.4 percent of the wheat crop to be exported.

There’s a flip side to higher crop prices, though, that’s hitting livestock and dairy producers who are coping with higher feed costs. And that flip side also affects consumers, who are paying more in the grocery store.

But when the crops are good and prices rise, it allows farmers to invest in the equipment that bolsters productivity.

“Machines are doing the work, so even when farms expand, the requirement for men per acre is down,” said David Lambert, an agricultural economist at Kansas State University.

“Driving a combine is not labor-intensive, so there isn’t an explosion in jobs. Lots of people have been pulled or pushed off the land because of mechanization.”

Jackson left his family farm in western Ohio to hold a desk job as an economist.

But the farm is prospering without his contribution of daily labor.

“My family farm hasn’t gotten bigger. It’s still pretty much my brother and my dad,” Jackson said. “But the equipment has gotten bigger. Seed and fertilizer growth has increased productivity. Crop prices are up. So, yes, things are doing well back home.”

Will that kind of farm prosperity last?

Those who remember the farm foreclosure crises of the 1980s say some downturn — perhaps a 20 percent drop in corn prices — is expected, but there are big differences from a generation ago.

Then, rising land values and low interest rates motivated many farmers to go into debt to expand on the assumption that commodity prices would continue to rise.

But the farmland bubble burst, overproduction sent prices lower, and a grain embargo limited exports, causing ripple effects in banking and industry as farms failed.

“The difference today is that farmers haven’t piled up debt,” said Henderson, the Fed economist. “Their debt-to-asset ratio is at a near-historic low. Even if there’s a correction in values, farmers have a lot of wealth in equity, enough to withstand correction.”

Just a quick question here.  Can I get a detailed description of the 12-1 record in all sports vs KU?  What I know are the following:

Football  1-0
Men's BBall  1-1
Women's BBall  2-0
Baseball  3-0
Volleyball  1-0
Women's Tennis  1-0

That leaves me at 9-1.  Other sports include men's & women's golf, cross country, and track & field.  But those are not head-to-head games vs another team.  Are we just saying since we finished ahead of KU in the standings in those sports that we beat them?  If so, wouldn't that mean 13-1?  I'm leaving out equestrian and rowing here because those are not NCAA controlled, right?

$107.1 million in giving to the Foundation last Fiscal Year, an increase of $17 million year over year.

Not sure that being #42 on this list is that wonderful. And with Manhattan at #1 we are clearly losing the battle for jobs in the region.

"Business unfriendly" is being polite. Difficult, smug, NIMBY, painful, uncooperative, unpredictable, unreliable, ........ Lawrence does NOT have a culture favorable to job growth over the last decade. No question about it.

Kellis proves we are rich as crap, don't bother paying taxes like other rich as hell people... :kstategrad:  Also, proves our fans are all over the country. 

MANHATTAN, Kan. | The Kansas State athletic department is confident it has committed no wrongdoing in a lack of state sales tax being applied to merchandise sold through its online store.

The Wildcats sell apparel through a website that is managed by Florida-based Team Fan Shop, which handles online sales for athletic departments and conferences across the country. Because it has no offices or employees in Kansas, Team Fan Shop is within its rights to not tax online sales, K-State officials say.

On Monday, the Lawrence Journal-World reported that the Kansas Department of Revenue was looking into K-State’s online sales practices. Although it says it is up to Team Fan Shop whether to begin taxing online sales, the department issued a statement saying it will help the company decide.

“Team Fan Shop’s tax advisers believe it is in compliance with Kansas tax laws,” the statement read. “However, Team Fan Shop and K-State athletics are conducting additional research into the matter. If it is determined that Team Fan Shop should collect sales tax, it will comply.”

Brian Swallow, vice president of sales and marketing for Team Fan Shop, did not return a message seeking comment.

According to a university spokesman, K-State sold merchandise worth $131,539.08 on its online store last fiscal year. Of that revenue, Kansas residents were responsible for $56,104.94 of the purchases.

If sales tax had been applied, K-State would have owed close to an extra $5,000 in taxes.

"A handful of universities have really hit the jackpot," said Feller, the retired economics professor.     :kstategrad:


At Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., taxpayers will spend nearly a billion dollars to build the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility to guard the nation's agricultural economy and food supply. Though it is a federal project, it is expected to have a deep and lasting effect on the university _ long before it is operational in 2019.


The facility's scientists, for instance, will become adjunct KSU professors, enhancing graduate studies and creating new areas of collaborative research. The university is also using the project to develop a partnership with animal health corporations that could result in lucrative advancements. The Manhattan area could become "a Silicon Valley for food science and animal science," said the Homeland Security Department's O'Toole.

I know we're sort of beating a dead horse here, but yesterday I volunteered to help distribute over 2500 Thanksgiving dinners to families in need.  I saw many of these broke folks wearing KU hats and sweatshirts and sweatpants, only one or two Mizzou, and as you would expect, not a single K-State (of course there were several EMAW's volunteering).  I have submitted this anecdotal evidence in support of the underlying thesis for peer review and, while the reviews haven't come back yet, I've gotten a lot of winks and nods around the water cooler.

I actually lived behind Bobby T's for a year and I'm pretty sure I was never in there after like 8 pm.  (Tuesdays were pretty sweet there-  cheap ass tacos and draws and replays of the previous football game.  Great if it wasn't televised and played in some place I didn't want to drive to like Waco or Lubbock.)

Endowment
See also: List of U.S. colleges and universities by endowment

    Texas (System-wide) - $14,052 million
    Texas A&M (System-wide) - $5,738 million
    Kansas (System-wide) - $1,055 million
    TCU - $1,048 million

    West Virginia (System-wide) - $337 million
    Kansas State - $278 million

Figures above are as of 2010.



So, so poor.  Hopefully a couple pig farmers win the lottery in the next few years and bring the grapes out from the basement.  Someone who graduated from K-State has to get rich one of these days.

So those were all cash contributions?   K-State raised $110 million, of course I understand those weren't all cash or cash equivalent contributions,  and you're off by $70 million on K-State's permanent endowment, and total endowment assets are nearly $550 million.

Of course that doesn't change the reality that in about 2 years John Currie has K-State neck and neck with ku in total revenues, and he's pulling in piles of private contributions.

State of the art basketball practice facility, more upgrades to our stand alone track (ku's . . . still on the drawing board, what is it now?  8 or 9 years and counting) . . . and of course, much more than that on the horizon.

Now John Currie looks at his operating bank accounts flush with cash, while Cheyenne Zulu "hopes" he can break even.

To tell you the truth, 'Pad, I have a new found respect for K-State after moving to Oregon.  My g/f is an Oregon State grad, and I'm seeing life from a whole new perspective.  I really don't like pissing you guys off and saying mean things about how poor your school is.  But hey, someone has to defend KU when there's a 29 page thread calling all of us poor and trying to pretend like K-State is just swimming in cash.  The animosity you guys feel towards KU is the same animosity Oregon State fans feel towards Oregon.  I get it.

Meanwhile K-State athletics has $36 million in net revenues the past two years and had raised $45 million in private contributions in just 2 years.   Easily outpacing ku athletics over that same time period.

Meanwhile K-State athletics has $36 million in net revenues the past two years and had raised $45 million in private contributions in just 2 years.   Easily outpacing ku athletics over that same time period.







Pffffttttt... this thread is one big defense mechanism that you guys bust out whenever you want to keep your egos from shattering.  K-State basketball is NIT-bound and you just got 44-3'ed on your homecourt again, so now it's time to take a break from reality and focus on those warm, fuzzy net revenue numbers.  Nevermind that KU just spent over $100 million on athletic facilities over the past several years and has much better, more modern facilities than K-State.  Nevermind that KU is only the 2nd school besides Florida to win a national title in basketball and a BCS Bowl in football in the same season.  You guys went to the Cotton Bowl and fired up the hayseeds, and now you're finally coming close to competing with KU financially.  Too bad Turner Gill is gone and KU's football revenue will return to normal in the coming seasons.  Too bad you guys still don't have anything to show for all of that hard work when it comes to the trophy case.  Too bad LHC LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder can't live forever.  



Do you know what modern means?



Ummm... yes.  KU has modern facilities across the board.  Just built new/modern football facilities, basketball facilities, baseball facilities, rowing facilities, softball facilities, soccer facilities, etc, all within the past 4-5 years.

KU's football "stadium" and basketball barnhouse are not modern.  They smell bad and will probably fall apart any day now.  Modern,  :lol:

It's not 2008 anymore . . . ku football is back to being the worst football program in the conference, having only won 6 conference games in 4 years and finishing dead last the last 3 years.  

K-State athletics is now allowed to aggressively pursue any and all donors, unlike in the past . . . that's why it has raised $45 million in private contributions in the last 2 years.  

Much of what ku built for football was simply to duplicate what everyone else in the Big and BCS already had, and a huge chunk that was spent on AFH was to keep it from falling down and bringing it up to code.     The $100 million that K-State is in the process spending right now is going towards all NET NEW facilities.    Not to mention all the upgrades to all the other athletic facilities. 

"Modern Facilities" is not running tracks inside football stadiums.   But hey, ku is going to get that "olympic village" built some day, we're headed towards a decade on the drawing board for that one.

So those were all cash contributions?   K-State raised $110 million, of course I understand those weren't all cash or cash equivalent contributions,  and you're off by $70 million on K-State's permanent endowment, and total endowment assets are nearly $550 million.



someone has to defend KU when there's a 29 page thread calling all of us poor and trying to pretend like K-State is just swimming in cash.

Do you really think this way? So weird.



How much weirder is it than making a bunch of crappy K-State videos and dedicating your life to bringing down Bill Self's recruiting reputation?  Just trying to get a feel for what I'm dealing with here, you normal guy, you.   

Man, you really hate that video. Why would you let something that upset you so much? It's just a dumb video I made for fun. No offense but you are a weird person.

you guys have a common hobby, BBS'n.  why not let that serve as your olive branch that you both can share and enjoy instead of perpetuating this cycle of violence?  do you even know what a cycle of violence is? 



He's mad because I'm clownsuiting this entire board and shattering egos left and right. 

STOP CLOWNSUITING THE BOARD AND EGOS OR WHATEVER.   :curse:

Your athletic facilities are still on the drawing board.  KU has already completed over $100 million in construction over the past few years, while K-State has just now scrounged up enough money for a basketball facility.  And there's one thing you guys will never have - a national championship trophy.  Enjoy those soil judging titles, grapes.  That's the best you can ever hope for.

It's going to be one of the best basketball training facilities in the country, with over a million dollars in electronics and a/v equipment alone.

K-State has twice as many suites in its football stadium than ku does, soon almost 3 times as many and yet another stadium club.  

Just be honest, all the things that you thought could never happen, happened.   ku athletic revenues plummeted, and ku athletics now barely breaks even.  Lew's not around to cook the books anymore.

You had just lost Huggins.  Prince had been fired after going 0-9 vs. KU/MU/NU.  Krause was fired amidst a scandal within the athletic department.  Your athletic department was in shambles, and since then, it has recovered nicely.  I see no reason why the same can't be said for KU in a couple of years, and keep in mind that our athletic department was still winning Big 12 titles and spending time ranked in the top 5 while crap hit the fan.

Helms titles are national titles, not NCAA titles, but you wouldn't know anything about winning national titles being a Hayseed State fan, so I'll let it slide.

It just shows you everything you need to know about Kansas.  If they claimed 3, they would still have infinity bragging rights over K State and Missouri in terms of national titles, but their egos are so fragile they feel the need to inflate the total.  I mean, 3-0 is still pretty far ahead.

I also fully understand why you're in fully blown validation and affirmation mode . . . everything you were gloating about 2 years except for ku men's basketball has been burned to the ground.   Now ku athletics just hopes it can get all the bills paid and needs the welfare like direct support from the university and the compulsory fees the students are forced to pay in order barely finish in the black.

Meanwhile K-State athletics has $36 million in net revenues the past two years and had raised $45 million in private contributions in just 2 years.   Easily outpacing ku athletics over that same time period.







Pffffttttt... this thread is one big defense mechanism that you guys bust out whenever you want to keep your egos from shattering.  K-State basketball is NIT-bound and you just got 44-3'ed on your homecourt again, so now it's time to take a break from reality and focus on those warm, fuzzy net revenue numbers.  Nevermind that KU just spent over $100 million on athletic facilities over the past several years and has much better, more modern facilities than K-State.  Nevermind that KU is only the 2nd school besides Florida to win a national title in basketball and a BCS Bowl in football in the same season.  You guys went to the Cotton Bowl and fired up the hayseeds, and now you're finally coming close to competing with KU financially.  Too bad Turner Gill is gone and KU's football revenue will return to normal in the coming seasons.  Too bad you guys still don't have anything to show for all of that hard work when it comes to the trophy case.  Too bad LHC Bill Snyder can't live forever.  



To be fair.  Turner isn't that much worse than "normal" for KU.

How much weirder is it than making a bunch of crappy K-State videos and dedicating your life to bringing down Bill Self's recruiting reputation?  Just trying to get a feel for what I'm dealing with here, you normal guy, you.   

Ok. let's get one thing straight. His videos are not crappy. every fanbase loves them. it's science.

All those renovations and you guys forgot to update your sign. Helms titles are NOT NC's. Aren't KU fans supposed to have HBBIQ?



Helms titles are national titles, not NCAA titles, but you wouldn't know anything about winning national titles being a Hayseed State fan, so I'll let it slide.

It just shows you everything you need to know about Kansas.  If they claimed 3, they would still have infinity bragging rights over K State and Missouri in terms of national titles, but their egos are so fragile they feel the need to inflate the total.  I mean, 3-0 is still pretty far ahead.  



It has nothing to do with K-State or Mizzou.  We honor our national champions, whether it's Helms titles or NCAA titles.  Just because we weren't alive when the '22 and '23 teams were around doesn't mean they don't deserve recognition.  It's kind of amazing how much it bothers you guys.

In the two Helms title seasons, KU played a combined 4 games outside of the Missouri Valley conference (3-1 record) that stretched through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma.  The league included Drake, Grinnell, and Wash U (St. Louis).  KU did extremely well, but calling it a "National Title" is absurd.  It was a regional, or better yet, a league title*.



*shared with Mizzou in the 1921-'22 season.

You could say the same thing about pretty much every college football title that predated the BCS.  There were years when up to five different teams won "national titles."  I don't think those schools are going to go back and erase them from the history books, though I could be wrong.

jtksu has been calling this girl "fat" and "o-line sized" for the past 3-4 years or so.  She's an ex-girlfriend who I dated for close to four years while at KU.  I'm simply tired of jtksu calling her fat and pretending like I date fat chicks.  That good enough for you bro?

I was hoping someone would say this. I don't understand it at all.

Also, is that a skirt or shorts? In addition, is she wearing tennis shoes? I can't tell.

As well, I'll admit I have my fair share of jealousy issues, but is it "normal" to lift your girlfriend up so that anyone near can see her ass in all its glory? I would never do this. Maybe Beems sees gfs as trophies to show off and I don't?  :dunno:

jtksu has been calling this girl "fat" and "o-line sized" for the past 3-4 years or so.  She's an ex-girlfriend who I dated for close to four years while at KU.  I'm simply tired of jtksu calling her fat and pretending like I date fat chicks.  That good enough for you bro?


 :dunno:

Thanks for the explanation.

Now call my wife fat and see what happens.

your wife is fat.

Whatever dude.  That's just like your opinion.  :rolleyes:



See how that's done, Beems?

WHATEV 
PICS OR NO VALIDATION THOSE ARE THE TERMS



This.  Your wife is fat until pics prove otherwise.

:jerk:


See how easy this is, Beems?  I mean, how insecure do you have to be to give one single eff what a bunch of anonymous internet doods say or think about you. You just fascinate me to no end. Like a psychologists wet dream.

Ben,

Is that girl the same girl from the infamous argyle sweater picture?  The girl with the janky nose?

Seems like you guys were happy together, kinda makes me sad for you.  Hope the new Oregon State girl treats you well and isn't a gold-digger.

Using the pics as a reference, Ben must weight approx 115 lbs.  I mean, the chick is like the same size as him and she weighs 105, right?  Is Ben like 5'5" or something?  :dunno:

I also fully understand why you're in fully blown validation and affirmation mode . . . everything you were gloating about 2 years except for ku men's basketball has been burned to the ground.   Now ku athletics just hopes it can get all the bills paid and needs the welfare like direct support from the university and the compulsory fees the students are forced to pay in order barely finish in the black.

Meanwhile K-State athletics has $36 million in net revenues the past two years and had raised $45 million in private contributions in just 2 years.   Easily outpacing ku athletics over that same time period.







Pffffttttt... this thread is one big defense mechanism that you guys bust out whenever you want to keep your egos from shattering.  K-State basketball is NIT-bound and you just got 44-3'ed on your homecourt again, so now it's time to take a break from reality and focus on those warm, fuzzy net revenue numbers.  Nevermind that KU just spent over $100 million on athletic facilities over the past several years and has much better, more modern facilities than K-State.  Nevermind that KU is only the 2nd school besides Florida to win a national title in basketball and a BCS Bowl in football in the same season.  You guys went to the Cotton Bowl and fired up the hayseeds, and now you're finally coming close to competing with KU financially.  Too bad Turner Gill is gone and KU's football revenue will return to normal in the coming seasons.  Too bad you guys still don't have anything to show for all of that hard work when it comes to the trophy case.  Too bad LHC LHC LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder can't live forever.  



Do you know what modern means?



Ummm... yes.  KU has modern facilities across the board.  Just built new/modern football facilities, basketball facilities, baseball facilities, rowing facilities, softball facilities, soccer facilities, etc, all within the past 4-5 years.

KU's football "stadium" and basketball barnhouse are not modern.  They smell bad and will probably fall apart any day now.  Modern,  :lol:



Wow... good one.  I guess the $42 million they just put into AFH didn't get much press out in Hayseed, KS.   

Please tell me $42 million got more than 1 and a 1/2 courts, a locker room, a bunch of pictures and words on the wall, the spelling of Kansas and the Jayhawk all over the place, some banners, and a concession stand.

While six Big 12 athletic departments saw profits in excess of one million dollars (Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M and Texas Tech), two departments’ profits stand out.  In particular, both Kansas State and Texas earned over twenty million dollars in profit in 2010-11.  Kansas State achieved profits of $23,395,408.00, while Texas had profits of $24,317,815.00.  Interestingly, though, is the fact that Kansas State’s revenues in that same year were $68,875,266.00, while Texas’ were $150,295,932.00.  Texas’ expenditures, on the other hand, were nearly three-times that of Kansas State’s.

People are upset about Jamar.  Maybe they're using goEMAW as a tool, an outlet.  It's okay if they vent here.  Better "here" than "out there," with their friends and families.

With all due respect, there's 27 pages of "Currie is a rough ridin' moron" in another thread...this is the same person that oversaw a $23M department profit (2010-2011), 2 bowls (one a Cotton Bowl) and 2 NCAA tourney appearances in 2010-2012.  I guess just don't understand bbs'ing.

First, Currie can be good at one part of being an AD, while being "bad" at another. 2nd, don't read it if it bothers you. I probably only read 10 total pages of that thread.

Currie is not responsible for our on-the-field success, but he absolutely is responsible for our record-level fundraising during the worst economic times since the great depression. He is a fantastic AD from a fundraising standpoint.

fuktard, you don't have to agree with 100%, or even 50% of the stuff here. I don't agree with lots of stuff, and have 'tuck opinions' on certain issues, but i don't argue every single one of them. If i got worked up over every post that i disagreed with, i'd probably hate this place. Best to let some things slide and enjoy the ride. It's way better here than anywhere else.  iyam, imo. ftb, go cats.

With all due respect, there's 27 pages of "Currie is a rough ridin' moron" in another thread...this is the same person that oversaw a $23M department profit (2010-2011), 2 bowls (one a Cotton Bowl) and 2 NCAA tourney appearances in 2010-2012.  I guess just don't understand bbs'ing. 

I do wonder where our beloved AD hater Dax is to comment on the dept profit...doubtful he'll show, this totally fucks up his agenda.

Yeah, without Currie we would have never gone to the Cotton Bowl or been in the tourney the past two years.

Currie is not responsible for our on-the-field success, but he absolutely is responsible for our record-level fundraising during the worst economic times since the great depression. He is a fantastic AD from a fundraising standpoint.

He isn't responsible for the increased media revenues.  Also the last couple years have been boom years for the ag industry.  Couple that with increased oil and gas production in KS the worst economic times/depression argument is garbage.

Well, first of all, KU alums make more money than K-State alums.  Second, KU is better than K-State in every aspect (with the exception of soil judging).  Better school, better campus, more money, more students, more accomplishments, more tradition, etc, etc.  K-State is nothing more than the annoying little red-headed stepchild.  You guys wear purple, and you're forced to root for oscar Weber.  Such is life.

Look. I have a good idea of the ideas and beliefs they feed you over at KU. I was there for a bit and I'm also more RCJH than most. But you can't argue with science, the facts are facts. And if basketball is the only better thing, congrats, its nothing more than something to amuse us during the offseason.

It's really not even that close.  KU alums make more money, get better jobs, go to a better university, hang out with a ton more women, and actually relocate outside the state of Kansas.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to plan my next trip to Costa Rica.

I don't like the list either but not for the reasons you listed.  As much national cache as UCLA and USC has, their attendance % and their stadiums leave a lot to be desired.  I don't think either has much premium seating to maximize gameday revenue.  They also don't get anywhere close to the conference revenue as the Big 10 and the SEC schools.

A school like Iowa is high on the list because they sell a lot of tickets, have a lot of premium seats, and get a ton of money from their conference, this isn't the case for the Southern California schools.

I didn't mention Iowa.  Northwestern's stadium is the smallest and shittiest (i.e., dick for premium seating) in the Big Ten and they never sell it out.  It's a rough ridin' ghost town in there most games.  Their average attendance last season was 33,442 versus 56,644 for UCLA.  That's a hell of an offset for Pac 12 v. Big Ten tv revenue sharing.

For his valuations, I have no idea.  For our books, we will get a bump, not all of that money was committed and not all of that committed money is in.  I don't know how much money thats going to be.

I think the one thing that validates the list in my mind is that KSU is ranked pretty high. If not I would probably think this list was total trash.

Not a big deal.  Whatever happens to First Solar in the future, it will always live on as part of goEMAW folklore right up there with the Amare Camp and the selection committee.



First Solar's a giant in the industry.  It's not going anywhere.  Like I said, though, the solar industry is going through a transition phase right now, and a lot of the smaller firms will start to consolidate with companies like First Solar in the future.  Also, if you're looking to invest in an up-and-coming green stock, check out ECOtality (NASDAQ: ECTY).

Lawrence will totally turn into a ghost town once the BOR eliminates KU and consolidates them with KSU.  Feel kinda sad for them.  It's a real shame. I guess the good thing about that is that all those hobos on Mass will have a bunch of old houses to choose from to shack up in. 

How do you guys think Bill will get along in Manhattan? Do you think he will like it as much considering the huge amount of adultery that he is used to simply won't be sustainable in a place with higher morals?

There is no way that the economy of Ames, Iowa is 4.24 billion dollars (with a b).  I thought I read somewhere in the Des Moines Register that the largest retailer in Ames was Goodwill and the Salvation Army went out of business there.  Plus, with all of the flooding, I'm sure 2 billion of that alleged 4.24 billion is lost due to mold, hepatitis, tetanus and bubonic plague.  I question the validity of these numbers.

As for Lawrence, bash it all you want.  It's a great place to go to school.  The economy does suck if you're looking for a post-graduate job, but it's a fun college town with some character, and it has a really cool vibe.  An economic study isn't going to look favorably on a place like Lawrence, though, because there's no military base to give it long-term stability and the medical center is in KC.  The economy centers around KU and Mass Street, basically.

Bro! Garden City Community College backed their sports sponsorship better than my KU experience. It's really sad. It's not "advertising" your business, it's keeping the community aware that you support ALL KU athletics with a banner add throughout the broadcast. Stop being butthurt, you know that's cheap, gmafb.

As for Lawrence, bash it all you want.  It's a great place to go to school.  The economy does suck if you're looking for a post-graduate job, but it's a fun college town with some character, and it has a really cool vibe.  An economic study isn't going to look favorably on a place like Lawrence, though, because there's no military base to give it long-term stability and the medical center is in KC.  The economy centers around KU and Mass Street, basically.

It sucks it is in such drastic economic shape.

I can't believe some of you guys are being so mean. It's the one place in the state that isn't a whacked out conservative money making machine of a town, and you make fun of them. They need some guidance and common sense ideas to get them out of this. It could be a test bed for cities like Detroit.

really, demolishing 40% of the sprawling slums and returning it to farmland sounds like the best thing.

I know what you're saying here, and I don't totally disagree - the med center would help with the numbers if it were in Lawrence.  But, it also wouldn't be nearly the medical center it is if it were in Lawrence.

I bet the walmarts in JOCO start bussing employees from Lawrence to JoCo walmarts to take advantage of such a large population that are content to work for min wage.  Used to happen from KCK to JoCo but with the Legends, KCK is too good for that now.

Bedroom communities are for sleeping.  Lawrence has always been a good place if you are homeless or you work elsewhere in a place that has jobs.

They also have very nice outlet malls for the poors.

Hawk attempts to find job, fails miserably (http://abovethelaw.com/2013/05/how-not-to-write-a-cover-letter/)

Quote
I was pleased to discover, through my clandestine Alaskan network, that you have not finalized a new law clerk for the upcoming year. I hope you find this letter portentously post facto rather than unskillfully delinquent. I wish to spare you the unleavened hardtack of your sensible, standard cover letter and instead appeal to your irrational masculine avatar through a reflective vignette.

I grew up in suburban Kansas City in a perfect neighborhood on a perfect street in a perfect house.

My parents afforded me every opportunity and expected results. Laboriously, I molded myself into a surprisingly athletic, covertly academic, role player. The Dalai Lama might even have congratulated me on my stubbornly unconditional perspective. Adorned in a passion for the sciences, I followed the tracks to Lawrence, Kansas. Here, I learned to be a Jayhawk.

Bouquets of regimental red and yellow tulips line the campus boulevard like a million Kansas City Chiefs fans cheering you from class to class. Each sunny spring day in Lawrence, with dudes in shorts and sunglasses and ladies in short skirts, seemed a microcosm for the whole four years. The Kansas Greek scene made for an interesting cocktail, one part social one part societal jockey and only one ice cube to cool it down. I sipped confidently from this hearty libation. Overwhelmed by ubiquitous female beauty, animal instinct to succeed prevailed.

The Dalai Lama might even have congratulated me on my stubbornly unconditional perspective. Adorned in a passion for the sciences, I followed the tracks to Lawrence, Kansas. Here, I learned to be a Jayhawk.

Bouquets of regimental red and yellow tulips line the campus boulevard like a million Kansas City Chiefs fans cheering you from class to class. Each sunny spring day in Lawrence, with dudes in shorts and sunglasses and ladies in short skirts, seemed a microcosm for the whole four years. The Kansas Greek scene made for an interesting cocktail, one part social one part societal jockey and only one ice cube to cool it down. I sipped confidently from this hearty libation. Overwhelmed by ubiquitous female beauty, animal instinct to succeed prevailed.

"my fifty mile bubble of experienced existence" could describe 2/3's of the students at ku.   I'll never forget a few years back some phogtuck trying to tell me that the majority of K-State alums never leave Kansas.   I explained to him that 1/3 or more of ku alums live within 1 hour of Lawrence, and that over 50% of K-State alums reside outside of Kansas.

That quote sums up why so many of them think that Lawrence is the be all and end all . . . they simply know nothing else besides Lawrence and the Beige Subdivision Jungle of Johnson County (I grew up there when it actually had some character and charm).

Lawrence is just a great town.  Way better than any other shitty town Kansas has to offer.  And it's true, more KU alums leave the state of Kansas because on average, more KU alums are liberal, and more KU alums are from states outside of Kansas.  There's a huge pipeline of students from Chicago who come to KU, and every single one of them that I was friends with absolutely fell in love with Lawrence.  You can try to deny the truth until you're blue in the face, but there really is something unique and different about Lawrence that you don't really get from anywhere else in Kansas.  I'm sure Manhattan has improved a lot over the last decade or so, but it's still not Lawrence.

Dax's entire argument was that KU students only like KU because they live within a 50 sq. mile bubble.  People don't just call it a "perfect college town" and rank it in the top 10 college towns in the country because they grew up in Joco.

I don't know if this is even possible, but it would be pretty great to have one of those trend maps or whatever, showing where KSU/KU students come from and where they end up.

I've never had a hard time understanding that the stereotypes of ku and K-State students are sometimes true.

What I laugh at is phogtucks who try and pull crap out of their ass like "diversity" at ku, or ku alums being more "worldly" than K-State alums.   

But I fully understand that at current pace, there might very well be more incoming Freshman from JoCo going to K-State than ku (for example).

You know what, there's an ever increasing "pipeline" of major metro Texas kids going to K-State.   But I am not going to run around touting anecdotal utterly homer words like, "every one of them fell in love with K-State and Manhattan".

Have lived in Lawrence and Manhattan.  Both are really great towns.  I will, say, however, that ku students and alum have a respected habit of saying that Lawrence and ku are the best university and town in the US.  They apparently have never been to any of the truly great college towns in the US (Oxford, MS, Austin, TX, etc.), and don't realize that Lawrence is much closer in lifestyle and cultural amenities to Manhattan than to the really great college towns.  They think ku is a great university because ku tells them that the whole time they are a student there.  Most ku grads and alums are too narrow-minded to understand anything different, and ironically, consider themselves broad-minded. 

As for Johnson County, ku is truly JCCC west.

I grew up 25 miles from Lawrence the first 18 years of my life and never went there once.  That's how awesome Lawrence is.  I went to Louisberg more times than Lawrence.

Its a trashy town with horrible traffic, terrible infrastructure and a bunch of able bodied bums loitering in what appears to be some kind of swap meet. 

When I travelled there in college to visit friends I was taken back by how clique-y the party scene was and how dead the bar district (or what purports to be a bar district) is.  Its basically high school without adults.

As an adult I've had occasion to visit the town.  I've never once had a palatable meal or met a single person I'd ever consider doing business with.  It's a sad place where people who are scared to grow up hide from reality.

The hoagie, carefully-toasted pillow of the angels resting gently below the provolone and steak above. Flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then, a kick! The most playful little jalapeno bite. Then a congress of grilled onions, peppers, and earthy mushrooms so exquisite. Swirling in your mouth, breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet and savory so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Fake SD.

border bandito is pretty  :lick:

Have to admit I like the place. Although I am a Wildcat through and through, I went to grad school at KU because KSU didn't offer the post-grad degree I needed. I and Mrs. Bones went to BB's after every final exam and ate their great food and drank their great beer. We try to go back there every time we're in Lawrence.

That said, BB will never be better than any place in MHK.

Unless, of coures, someone brings back Taco Hut to MHK. Then all the the others might as well shut down.

would eat there 1-2 times a week because coworkers loved it.  always thought it was kind of cool that they closed the place for a week in the summer so that the family could go on vacation together.

Bigg's BBQ is very good, as is Burgers by Bigg's.

I grew up in Lawrence and there are some pretty good restaurants there. Free State, Pachamama's, Teller's, Zen Zero, Buffalo Bob's, The Mad Greek, Papa Keno's just off the top of my head. Some bygone restaurants that I miss there are Tin Pan Alley, Dos hombres, Molly Mcgee's, The Magic Wok, and The Cornucopia.

I'm not joking when I say that this is the only decent place to eat in that whole town.

I feel bad for deuce, I've eaten at half those places and each one wasn't average or okay, each was disgusting.  Growing up in Lawrence must be like growing up in a sirloin stockade, as far as food goes.

freestate is fun, pachamamas is a little overrated, tellers is absolute trash in a cool old bank building, zen zero is good but one of their other restaurants (la parilla) is better, buffalo bob's is absolute garbage, mad greek is good, papa kenos is fun but also just slightly above average pizza with no air conditioning.

The only time KSU students go to KU is when they're 18 or 19 and can party at the Hawk. Once you're 21, you'd have to be a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) to choose Mass St over Aggieville.

Fake SD, it's so much more than just a cheesesteak. I mean, that first bite, oh, what heaven that first bite is. The hoagie, carefully-toasted pillow of the angels resting gently below the provolone and steak above. Flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then, a kick! The most playful little jalapeno bite. Then a congress of grilled onions, peppers, and earthy mushrooms so exquisite. Swirling in your mouth, breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet and savory so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Fake SD. This is God, speaking to us through food...

I grew up 25 miles from Lawrence the first 18 years of my life and never went there once.  That's how awesome Lawrence is.  I went to Louisberg more times than Lawrence.

Its a trashy town with horrible traffic, terrible infrastructure and a bunch of able bodied bums loitering in what appears to be some kind of swap meet

FSD, that was hilarious, because it's true. It does look like that sometimes.

Why would it suck to be a KU or K-State fan?  KU and K-State combined for six Big 12 titles, a Big 12 tournament title, and an NCAA championship this year.  KU football struggled the past few years, but I still get excited for football season in September.  Late Night starts in October, and baseball/track season run through June.  It's a great time to be TSC, but if you want to continue being a butthurt 'tater, be my guest.

Of course, this probably doesn't take into account the fact that K-State grads settle in more exotic/desirable locales with higher cost of living - the ROI metric should probably be normalized by COL to make it fair to grads of "regional" schools (e.g., WSU, KU, Brown Mackie).

Something else caught my eye.  K-State is only marginally more expensive than Berkeley for in-state students - somewhat surprising given the recent faculty attrition / budget issues / overall decline at the UCs.

Couple gives $3 million to Kansas State
May 2

MANHATTAN, Kan. — A couple who graduated from Kansas State has donated $3 million to the university to support a new leadership program and a welcome center.

The university announced Thursday that David and Ellie Everitt, of Marco Island, Fla., designated $2 million to the Leading Change Institutes and $1 million to the welcome center.

David Everitt is a Concordia native who graduated with an industrial engineering degree in 1975. His wife is a 1973 graduate who earned a degree in clothing and textiles.

The Leading Change Institutes which opens in the summer of 2015, will bring together leaders and scholars to discuss ideas for confronting global and everyday challenges.

The welcome center will provide student career services and a gathering place for students and employers.

But, but, but I thought KU is the one that puts its professionals out into the world while all KSU grads are Kansas lifers (not that there's anything wrong with that) without lofty goals and expectations? This couple is just another example of some studs from KSU kicking ass in life. GO STATE.

 (http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2014/apr/29/latest-federal-numbers-show-low-incomes-high-price/)

The latest figures from the federal Bureau of Economic Analysis show Lawrence residents are feeling the pinch in two areas. The city's cost of living, although lower than the national average, is higher than in any other metro area in Kansas. To make Lawrence's predicament worse, residents also earn far less than those in other Kansas communities.

How big is the difference, you ask? Well, take Manhattan for example. The college community just west of us on Interstate 70 has a cost of living that is about 3.6 percent cheaper than Lawrence's. The per capita, inflation-adjusted income for a Manhattan resident, though, is about $7,700 more than what Lawrence residents earn.

This information is not all that surprising, I know several KU alums who have their own children attending KSU just for the reason noted above, slightly cheaper and they award a lot more scholarship money. This is something that continues to irritate about KU, the administration acts like they are an elite institution on par with Big 10 schools or even ACC when in fact they are not even close, there also seems to be this belief that it's what can you do for KU, instead of KU actually trying to convince us what they can do for us.

I'm a big fan of what Currie has accomplished financially, but the names that are on (and not on) this list makes it seem more like a function of how a school keeps its books. Did tOSU really get fewer donations than KU?

Also, why would a private school bother disclosing that info? Or does that have to be made public?
