Hey KSU NATION! :ksu:
I'm a Hokie (Virginia Tech) undergrad, but for the past 4 years I've been taking classes remotely at KSU to get my Masters in Engineering. My friend and I are both traveling to Manhattan (for the first time ever) to defend our masters on October 24-26. We are planning on attending the KSU/Texas game while we are in town. We'd love some input from true KSU fans. Things like...
- Best places to buy tickets. Is scalping a good option?
- Suggestions on best places to sit for KSU fans. We are willing to pay around $100 per ticket but definitely don't want to sit with the Texas fans. Where do the rowdy KSU fans usually sit?
- General gameday suggestions for cool things to see
- Places we MUST see and great places to eat in manhattan
- Where to buy KSU gear. Shirts, etc.
- Best bars?
Looking forward to the season and especially making the trip to Manhattan! :billdance:

Which engineering? Major profs?
-
Vet his ass, 8mp!
-
Power Engineering. Pahwa is my Major Professor. Taken a few courses taught by Starrett, and a bunch of others. You an Engineering major?
-
The babe with the pahwa.

I don't get it? Am I being vetted? What's 8mp?

Last I checked there was no "power engineering" degree, sorry bub.

Wait... seriously? I've been taking online courses at KSU for years.

These guys are huge a-holes. Is it too late to get a refund on those correspondence courses?

Don't listen to them wildhokie, most of these kids still live in their moms basement. Welcome to the most informative message board in the world.
You'll want to try and get a room at the Bluemont hotel. It's opening this fall and right by campus and Aggieville (bar district). Just follow the lead of what everyone else on here does/goes and you'll be all set.
-
I think going to so long and getting a shirt at thread would be a good idea. I would also recommend getting tickets ahead of time as scalping market is very uneven.
-
There's a really good Olive Garden in town. It's a little pricey but you've got that Virginia Tech money. :kstategrad:
-
Thanks meow meow and Kat Kid. All the rooms were booked for that weekend so we got a room at at Americas Best Value Inn (doesn't have great reviews but was the closest place to campus with available rooms).
Will definitely check out so long and thread.
Mainly concerned about where in the stadium to get tickets. I'd just prefer not to be in the visitor section.

Make sure you do not purchase tickets in the visitor section, in that case. If you avoid doing that, you should be surrounded by a destruction of wildcats.
-
What is your budget? For tickets.

You mean this money? :cool: http://i.ytimg.com/vi/AdKnJDwOAgE/0.jpg

Around $100 per?
-

Around $100 per?
I would recommend looking for east side club level seats or west side sections 5-11.
You might be able to grab a pair if you diligently check the third party sites starting now.
-
I have no idea how hard or difficult it is to get in to the student section now.

- Suggestions on best places to sit for KSU fans. We are willing to pay around $100 per ticket but definitely don't want to sit with the Texas fans. Where do the rowdy KSU fans usually sit? The best seats(I think) are West stadium chairbacks(tons of tucks tho), my seats are south endzone/bowl and I like them
- General gameday suggestions for cool things to see Get there early, bring tailgate stuff, lots of booze and food, be nice to Robert when you see him
- Places we MUST see and great places to eat in manhattan So long's, Taco Lucha, Cox Bro's BBQ, Jimmy John's(after the bars close Saturday night/Sunday morning)
- Where to buy KSU gear. Shirts, etc. Varney's or the new K-State Super Store
- Best bars? Aggie Station, So Longs, Kites is ok, if you feel dirty definitely Tubby's dance side, even dirtier Rusty's
Looking forward to the season and especially making the trip to Manhattan! :billdance:

THANKS! PERFECT!

I would try and find a better hotel to stay at, the holiday inn is close to campus/Aggieville. Cab it from hilton garden inn, and checkout downtown MHk. Just a few suggestos. Closer to game time there will probably be a tailgate pak, you should plan on just doing that.
-
Congrats hokiecatguy. A KSU degree is the most powerful thing in the world. Remember when you dorks got beat by KU? lololololol. That was like their last division one win.
-
Welcome WildcatHokie. If you get a chance, check out some of pristine peripheral beauty of Manhattan, start with Konza prairie and then head down Deep Creek Road to Pillsbury. Go east over the dam on Tuttle Creek a few miles and take a left (north) on Carnahan Creek Road. Beautiful Flint Hills landscapes, and if the sumac is red, :love:

you should eat at bullchicks after the bars close

I know Aggie Station is a popular choice among this crowd but it's an enormous shithole in real life. Don't go there unless you have a hankering for pickled eggs

That's not aggie station? The one that borders the alley with taco luche?

i think you would like aggie station kim, just a hunch

I'm worried he's not joking and Frank Frank really doesn't know the difference between Lounge and Station :sdeek:

My bad. My mistake. DON'T GO TO AGGIE LOUNGE. AGGIE STATION IS APPARENTLY VERY DIFFERENT!

You meant The Lou aka Aggie Lounge.
-
Go to The Lou also, I mean why wouldn't you?
-
Aggie Lounge might be the biggest crap hole in town

Pretty sure you could throw up on a table and no one would notice and/or care

This coming from the big train and a guy that thought the bar was called aggie station. :lol:

:lol:
-
The Lou is a magnificent crap hole, definitely a destination stop for any newbie. Best place in town.
The stench of piss makes the Busch Light taste better also.

wildcathokie- give me a brief idea of you and the person you and going w/ and what you are looking for. high brow? crap show? somewhere in the middle?

I'm being serious. It has more character than the rest of the bars combined ... minus Auntie Mae's of course.

You have got to try the burger from Kite's. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Just keep in mind that hokies are the eunuchs of the bird world.

:sdeek:
-
after my last final i walked right to the lou with my backsack on and pounded some busch pounders and a spicy egg
-
Myself and a small group will be making it back for this game. One guy in our group went to Virginia.
Let me know if you want me to arrange a meet up so you two can duke it out for our enjoyment.
He's a pretty small guy but I assume he's scrappy.
Probably something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vrYnbWaprg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vrYnbWaprg)

Somewhere in the middle. We aren't high brow at all. Looking to check out the college atmosphere but also knowing we are a few years removed from being college aged ourselves.

Power Engineering. Pahwa is my Major Professor. Taken a few courses taught by Starrett, and a bunch of others. You an Engineering major?
I took a class taught by Dr. Starrett a couple years ago. Also I don't know if you want to sit in the student section or not, but there's a ticket exchange group on facebook solely for student tickets. You would have to somehow get the pass back to whoever you bought it from which could be a pain for you.

1. Get iCAT, send PM for details about that.
2. Come party at Casa De Winters
3. Probably has been said, big juicy burger at Kites.
-
The Big Train's food (and to some degree bar) recommendations are a bit concerning
-
1. Get iCAT, send PM for details about that.

3. Probably has been said, big juicy burger at Kites.
Thanks. I don't think we can do the iCAT since we don't have student IDs and all that. I'll PM.
On vividseats and they have tickets in our price range in the Endzone (sections 13-16) and the upper level (sections 420-430).
-
get south endzone before upper deck, watch out for the SE corner or the endzone though, that's where our pals from Austin will be sitting.
Do not eat the burger at Kite's.

I would wait/look elsewhere (stubhub) craigslist MHK, ticket exchange on kstatesports.
-

Yes, I would recommend this before going to upper deck. I don't know why you should necessarily avoid the visiting seating section, it's not like you are sitting next to the OU band or Nebraska fans for this game.
I can't speak for the burger at Kite's.

No, I don't think it can be emphasized enough: Get the burger at Kite's.

Just go to every bar in the Aggieville district and tell the bartender you want the establishment's signature drink. You will have a lot of fun.

You will have a lot of fun but remember none of it an wake up with an itch in personal places and get worried that u got something serious but it turns out that it's nothing but later find out you did get HPV, which you prolly actually got before that night so zall good.
Fixed

Do this, but go to Auntie Maes last. waks will probably serve you something that will end your night.
-
wildcathokie- everybody is screwing with you about kites. it's an inside joke we do to people we don't like but i like you. don't go there. also, try to get out of that hotel you currently have. it's a 1.5 star dump. like somebody said earlier, scalpers might be ok but it's also sometimes hit/miss for big games. check stubhub and craigslist and start right now. stay away from the southeast corner if you don't want opposing fans. that's probably where they will be. also try to avoid upper deck east side (421, 422, etc). those seats are absolute garbage.
for food and drinks just stay in aggieville and you'll be fine.
food-so long saloon, taco lucha, coco bolos, aggie station and rock a belly deli.
for drinks there's a billion places, but i would at least drop into auntie maes (basement bar) and aggie lounge (crap hole) because of the uniqueness of each. make the rounds though. that's what aggieville is for.
-
even local beat cops get lounge/station confused :frown:

Omission of Mae's drinking and Aggie Lounge's food was puzzling to say the least
-

my first inclination just now was to say that i wasn't and have it be some sort of shot towards stevesie but that would have been a pretty rotten thing to do. i fixed it.

Come back onto this blog after the game and tell us what drink you got at each establishment that you can remember. I'll bet you get a Busch Light can at the Aggie Lounge. :cheers:

Keep posting and reading, even if you think someone is being an bad person. This is the internet and people like to have fun. You've gotten some outstanding advice from Rowddddddddddboy. If you are real, Winters is the king of Manhattan and he will make certain you are hooked up, except for the hotel situation, there is only so much he can do for his mom's basement.
Gonna win 'em all!
