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.”

count your money you rich cat fans :cool:
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.

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

Is it charity if I stop in on the ku fan down the hall and offer to buy him lunch or something? I mean, he looked kind of hungry.
(If I do, where do really old people like to eat?)

Wendy's. And odds are they will order a small bowl of chili and a baked potato with a small drink. Amazing what you can get for around $3.

cireksu and fam are ahead of the curve. Poor (pfft) ku and mu fans.

I hope someone has taken this TO THE PHOG! :cheese:

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.

This study basically confirms what Dax has said all along. But now it's not a theory, it's fact.

Is this something I can print off and keep in my pocket for when a squak resorts to calling me a goat farmer/hick/whatever I pull it out and call him a FP, TC, etc and tell him to give me my double-cheese?

glad this info is finally out there for all to see.

Would be hilarious to compare this to CU fans in Denver. Most of the differences between the schools aren't statistically significant. But what the hell is a KU fan who isn't into basketball? One that is notable is the male vs. female ratio of K-State fans. Chicks hate K-State (but I think they outnumber men enrolled at school.)
Also, RIP Gary Raffety.

What about Gary?

lol @ the attendance figures. lol.

JFC, imagine if Weefer would have had these numbers during his reign.

One of the most oft-repeated of the stereotypes is that MU fans all live in trailers. That’s been around forever. However, in the survey, it might surprise you to discover that only 3.1% of Tiger fans live in mobile homes… but 3.6% of Kansas fans can be found in a trailer park! Makes you think.

meanwhile, ksu grads are heading to new york, denver, san francisco and other cultural meccas. ku group just happy to make it to tanners on a friday night so they can get some chicken fingers and budweiser beer.

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.

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.

If the KSU alumni association is to be believed, and I don't know why they wouldn't be . . . 51% of K-State alums live outside of Kansas. K-State has chartered Catbacker Clubs in 38 States including the Cities of L.A., Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Denver, Washington D.C., Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Chicago, Atlanta, Oahu, HI, Indy, Boston, NYC, Minni/St. Paul, Charlotte, RDU, Nashville, St. Louis, Portland, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Cinncy, Arlington, VA, Richmond, VA, SLC, Seattle, Milwaukee and Madison WI.
You're so full of crap Ben, just deal with the numbers, it's reality, bandwagon white trash . . . thy name is ku.

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.
-
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.

If the KSU alumni association is to be believed, and I don't know why they wouldn't be . . . 51% of K-State alums live outside of Kansas. K-State has chartered Catbacker Clubs in 38 States including the Cities of L.A., Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco, Denver, Washington D.C., Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Chicago, Atlanta, Oahu, HI, Indy, Boston, NYC, Minni/St. Paul, Charlotte, RDU, Nashville, St. Louis, Portland, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Cinncy, Arlington, VA, Richmond, VA, SLC, Seattle, Milwaukee and Madison WI.
You're so full of crap Ben, just deal with the numbers, it's reality, bandwagon white trash . . . thy name is ku.
Yeah, I got handed a stack of a few hundred alums to call for telefund the other week. Most lived outside of KS/MO/OK.

My brother is a KU grad, installs cable or some chit. My sister is a KU grad (used to take tests for Darnell Jackson and some others), she's one step above a telemarketer. Both my parents are KU fans and neither attended. My family is a walking talking stereotype so perhaps my perception is skewed.

Not in my degree or most degrees related to my degree. Not in my wife's degree either.
KU grads are a joke in my industry, which happens to be an industry that has a lot of $ flowing through it.

Zachary Zivnuska really dominated his public speaking test he took today.

Which is more embarassing: that KU med school accepts more K-State undergrads than UK undergrads, or that the K-State undergrands can't get into a decent med school? I'm undecided.

Zachary received 83 points out of a possible 103.

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.
-
My sister is a KU and Texas alum, now she's one of those over-compensated government employees. She had me tour the KU engineering dept before going to K-State. I just lolled. It was like one 5 year old computer that they all got to time share on.

I will go on record and say that I know quite a few older KU grads (retired or pseudo-retirement age) who are wildly successful and great people. I see big difference in the gen-x and gen-y UK grads. It's a shame because I think they had a good thing going for a long time.

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.

Here's my own anecdote(s). I know many people who graduated from ku, many in that grooup prove that if they can graduate from ku, anyone can graduate from ku.
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.

Pffffftttttt.... the sun's out and it's about 60 degrees today. Absolutely beautiful here. I can't decide if I want to go to the coast this weekend, or do some skiing at Mt. Hood. Tough choice.
and yet you'll probably sit at home and read goEMAW for 12 hours tomorrow.

KU has an engineering school?

Honest to god I know more people that dropped out of ku than graduated.
Probably because it's so hard. Didn't you see where BMW said that KU's classes are much tougher than K-State's?
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.
Wait, so your anecdotal example >> my anecdotal story? :confused:

Most elite newspaper in the worldBERLIN—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.

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:

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.

I'm going to bury the hatchet right now. Rubbing your success in the faces of losers is wrong. Sure, it feels good to point out your school has superior fans in all regards but at the end of the day, we are all people. Some of us are just better.

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:

Philip Anschutz could buy K-State and its entire alumni base about six times over.
Anschutz's father was a land investor who invested in ranches in Colorado, Utah and Wyoming, and eventually went into the oil-drilling business. Anschutz's grandfather, Karl Anschütz, emigrated from Russia and started the Farmers State Bank in Russell, Kansas. Anschutz bought out ( :jerk: ) his father's drilling company in 1961.
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.

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.
-
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.

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.

Pffffftttttt.... the sun's out and it's about 60 degrees today. Absolutely beautiful here. I can't decide if I want to go to the coast this weekend, or do some skiing at Mt. Hood. Tough choice.
and yet you'll probably sit at home and read goEMAW for 12 hours tomorrow.

KU's athletic budget ranked 11th in the nation after the '08 season. Regardless, it's still significantly higher than K-State's, Captain Butt Hurt.

Why can't you just accept that K-State has one of the poorest athletic departments/alumni bases in the Big 12? It's actually kind of impressive that you guys can still compete with Big Bro from time to time, considering how poor you are.

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:

Went to Price Chopper in OP today. A KU fan bagged my groceries, so I gave the poor girl a $20 out of sympathy.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown. Overheard some ku fans smoking outside the Village Inn the other day talking about how they wanted to join the Church of Scientology but didn't have the scratch. Just not good. :bawl:

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.
I'm going to go out for a nice run, some crunches in the park than lunch at Capital Grille. May swing by Halls for a new suit.

The fact that the U.S. Army is the third most popular company for K-State alums is effing hilarious. So poor.

we are the same school dumbass.
limestone is arrogant regarding ku because he somehow believes his law school is better than ku's.
that's why he constantly jabs at ku. and guess what, people in oregon probably think you are a hayseed because you attended a school in kansas.

That's like saying Oregon and Oregon State are the same school. It's just not true.

Not really a good comparison. Both Oregon and OSU are nike schools. Maybe a better comparison would be Oregon and Portland St.? (Though I'm not entirely sure PSU would slum with the adidas people.)

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).

But having lived on the East Coast for 16 years, I can say from experience that bandwagonville way overstates their "national" following. The vast majority of sports fans out this way, if they even give a f_ck about either school, often get the 2 confused. This "national following" talking point is just another huge quest for validation by Bandwagonville.

-
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.

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.

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.

Glorious. I see this same thing every day in Denver. I usually throw them a banana or two and motor on when the light turns green because I refuse to give homeless people money, but this thread has made me realize maybe I should throw a few quarters at them. Spending their money on ill-fitting KU clothing isn't as bad as spending it on alcohol and hard drugs right? Wait...let me think about this one......

Off topic. I saw a yellow Exterra today with a Jayhawk sticker the size of a manhole cover on the back window. Dead center. Will photograph if I see it again. I think he is a security guard at our parking garage.

So they have gone into debt to build facilities, and are paying down on this debt,even during a recession? Where is the bad news? Only a tool that thinks all debt is bad or loathes KU would find the negative here. Cue Kevin Keitzman ......
Kansas Athletics Inc. has reported financial liabilities of $93.67 million for the 2008-09 fiscal year, up nearly 57 percent from a year earlier.

On this Easter weekend, let's all remember how good we have it compared those living in Douglas County:
"But the numbers that may catch the attention of Lawrence residents more than any are the ones that show what has happened west of here in Manhattan. In 2004, Manhattan and Lawrence both had roughly the same per capita income of about $27,000 per year. By 2009, Lawrence’s had grown to about $32,000. Manhattan’s had soared to $40,358."

I really hope that all our wealth doesn't make us a bunch of elitists to the poor nobodies out there. On a side note, I grew up in a top 5 per capita county, moved to uber wealthy manhattan, got a degree at ksu (which has been proven to make people rich(er) ), and moved to the richest county in the state. I don't want to be called "old money" or anything, but.......

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

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

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

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

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

Lawrence is truly a disgrace to our great State.

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

Beems also thinks that the Earth is 5000 years old

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

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

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.

I will be in Lawrence next week. I think I'll bring a few fistfuls of cash to distribute to the homeless there. I'm thinking of buying a few properties so they have some place to squat.

Not to get political, but the landscape would currently be a lot different if George W. Dumbsh*t wasn't in office for eight years throwing our country's future into the toilet. By 2025 (optimistically), solar power will be much more integrated into our energy grid.

Speaking as someone who works in the power industry, no it won't. At least not from current solar cell technology. Sink your massive trust fund into it if you're so sure, though.

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?

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.

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:>

There's enough natural gas under the ground to power this country for a hundred years or more. The technology is already there to cheaply and efficiently turn natural gas into energy we can use.

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.

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.

The sun casts enough energy on the world to power humans super easy, but I'd like a raise of hands from all the respects 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).

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.

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 companies will start to consolidate with companies like First Solar in the future.
If this was 2001, beems would be investing his entire 401k in Enron.
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:>

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.

The solar industry receives approximately half of the German government's aid for alternative energy, but yes, a large portion of their alternative energy output is actually derived from wind.

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.
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?

I've always considered renewable energy stocks as a long-term investment, and you're right, Italy just cut solar subsidies, which has scared off a lot of investors.

If it's in by the end of June, you should be fine. BBBS is pretty much done promoting it, but they keep the donation site up at least through June, maybe into July.

You're pathological, Beems!
Okay, it's obvious you're just trying to get under my skin, but I'm not lying about any of that stuff.
1. I played for an AAU program as a youngster called the 76'ers. I was one of two white players on the entire team.
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.
Believe what you want, though. I have no reason to lie to any of you redneck hayseeds... about anything.

:ck: isn't the right emoticon for the "dunno/shoulder shrug" tone you're trying to use.
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.
Need more?

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?

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.

Was just watching The Great Food Truck Race on the Food Network and yawned really deeply when they mentioned that next week's show was filmed in "the little apple." I mean...MHK is the obvious (only?) choice between Denver and Memphis, but it's kind of intense/exhausting to see Manhattan hyped as the best college town on earth every time you turn around, you know? Poor Manhappenin' can never have an off night. It must be kind of how it feels to be, say, Radiohead or Garrison Keillor.

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.

KU's current endowment is $1.2 billion, and they just raised over $150 million last year in private contributions alone (nearly half of K-State's total).
:love: :love: :love:

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.

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.

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.
-
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.

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?

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.

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.

For everyone who was concerned about us not making the tournament, Beems just predicted us to go to the NIT, so we're good. :thumbsup:

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.

KU football will always be a coach away from imploding. Just like K-State. Just be honest and admit that you're still beside yourself when it comes to the fact that KU won a national title and an Orange Bowl in the same year. Just admit that K-State would name the city of Manhattan after Lew Perkins if he had brought that kind of success to Grape Nation.

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.

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.

-Beems comes in after a ku win all :love: and :lol:
-Proceeds to fling insults at grapes

Grapes are fairly healthy and taste good imo

Wow, a couple of NCAA tourney births, and a Pinstripe bowl ='s all time record private giving, in the worst economy in 8 decades . . . makes you wonder what kind of gold mine will be tapped if K-State really does something.
Record net profits as well . . . meanwhile Cheyenne Zulue "hopes" to break even as he looks to Strong Hall to keep collecting those student fees.

How fat is the OSU alum, Beems? :pray: you're not still banging oline sized bitches, right?

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.

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.

Beems, can you walk us through the thought process leading up to the point you decided to post a real picture of yourself holding your headless "girlfriend" (one that just shows her half-bare ass) on a K-State sports message board?

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?

So do you or don't you date fat chicks? I'm still confused.

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:

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.

Good luck turning profit like that when Sean and Unds are the head coaches.

What is it about goEMAW that nearly every poster focuses on future worst case scenarios? I really don't understand this...if it's not "wait till Sean's coach" it's "we're absolutely headed to the MVC or MWC" or "there's no way we will win this game" or "next year we are going to suck". Maybe having the company of other "defeatists" is what makes this board so popular...it's a place where "doomsdayers" get to come and commisserate with out having to put up with all of the "tucks with purple tinted glasses". It's really an interesting dynamic. I really feel sorry for a lot of the posters on this board...must have really shitty lives. How enjoyable can it be to live life constantly waiting for the other shoe to drop?

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.

I guess I'm slow. So the goal is to see who can say that stupidist crap? Well there are lots of over achievers on this board. I left gopo looking for intelligent discussion...it's why I enjoy _Fan's posts. Wish there was more of that and less "bbs'ing".

Ok Unds as the head coach is an exaggeration, but Frank not wanting to work for Currie and going elsewhere is a realistic possibility right now.

I just need to go back to "sysdax" so i fit in. I'm such a rough ridin' tuck and it makes me an outcast. I just want to think the best for my cats....I mean what a rough ridin' incredible year to be a KSU Cat. The Cotton Bowl and a win in the tourney....only in my wildest dreams 10 years ago...or 20, or 30....... Think I'll go with a more appropriate "kimzacker" and blast away at how shitty we are in anything sports related. That should get rid of the feelings of facepalm.

My goal in pointing out the Sean to HC thing is to get EXACTLY your reaction i.e. "that is so stupid, they'd never do anything that stupid" then when they do, you are on board with the stupidity of it.

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.

Who called Currie a moron? I think the general board consensus is that Currie is a very intelligent, cold, calculating son of a bitch who is good at raising funds and turning a profit.

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

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.

Absolutely. I won't argue that. Currie has done a good job of taking advantage of our on-the-field success and turning it into :kstategrad:

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.

considering one is a liberal arts school and the other an agricultural land grant school, they really don't even compare. It's like saying the Boston Celtics are better than the Denver Broncos.

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. I do understand why some people need to take it so seriously, and personally I don't find it too pathetic.

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.

Well, I'm glad you guys have something to boost your low self esteem after losing Frank Martin to South Carolina and hiring oscar Weber.
:lol:
Can you imagine if the only facet of your life that was better than your in state rival was the men's basketball team of your favorite university? Lulz, what's that like beems?
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.

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.
The Pac-12?s new-ish deal is expected to pay each member in the neighborhood of $22 million a year.

Whatever method of valuation he used seems a little unreliable. I suspect the Texas Tech (55,347) versus Southern Cal (74,806) comparo wouldn't be much different. I was under the impression Tech had a fairly shitty stadium as well at least when compared directly to USC.
-
His valuations seem uneven and inconsistent at best. Tech's stadium is much nicer and has much more premium seating than the LA Coliseum, which is really awful. Also bear in mind that neither LA school owns their stadium.

I'm guessing the big10 is over represented because they are already rolling in TV dough while the other conferences new tv deals have not kicked in yet.

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.

For example: First Solar (FSLR) – (up 4,685%) and Trina Solar (TSL) – (up 1,774%) during 2010 have both had good years – and investors who got in early are no doubt very happy they did so.

This just keeps getting more interesting
Apparently google searching for some quick information has its limitations.

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).

I put my tickets for tomorrow's Sunday session on Craigslist, and squawks were just low balling me to death all damn day. Finally, someone offers me what I asked, offers to meet me 3 blocks from my house even though he's 45 minutes away, and when I meet him, yep, you guessed it, Ole Miss fan.
The poors can't even afford to see their team play against ol' Roy.

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?
Change can be scary.

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.
-
The mold removal industry alone has to be worth $4b up there.

No need for Paypal. If you want to help, just send canned goods and toilet paper.

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.
-
Guys, I can confirm that the Lawrence market is waxed. When they approached me to broadcast KU Softball and sell the rights to sponsors around the area, no one wanted to step up and chip in a $100 a month in radio advertising. I don't know if you know radio advertising, but that's rough ridin' CHEAP! They're extremely poor and against backing anything in town other than KU Basketball.

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.

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.

Is Lawrence, as a town, sustainable? I think you'd have to consider they are not. Should not get any state funding. You don't throw good money after bad. And when you realize you're in a hole, the first thing you do is stop digging. Is what I always say.

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

"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. Like those maps showing where people say "suhr-up" and where Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) people call it whatever it is they call it.

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 italics and bold highlight how you admit you don't know dick about what you're saying. The underlined portion shows how much stock we should put into your opinions. All the strikethroughs demonstrate ideas that are just factually incorrect.

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...

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.

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.

this is a true story: freshman year i went to a house party there where everybody had to take their shoes off. i woke up the next morning to leave and somebody stole my rough ridin' pumas.
Lawrence: Where KSU goes to party. Better lace 'em up though, or we'll putcha shoes on.
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.

this is actually very true. once i turned 21 (got a fake that worked in manhattan) i had no reason to go to lawrence anymore.

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.

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.

I hope the Everitt's use their legislative powers to vote veto any ku plans to use bonds to build rape dens, and sunken football fields, and the like.

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?
