Kansas State Football / Re: Do we have a game tomorrow?

« on: August 29, 2025, 04:43:29 PM »

It's August, of course we don't have a game

Next year week 0 is August 29th and Week 1 starts September 3rd, the latest week 1 has started in our lifetime, tied with the covid year.

Medvedev is a piece of crap. He made a mockery of the tournament, the referee, and his opponent. I'm glad he lost to a guy that ended up having to serve like I do.

I thought the US Open mixed doubles was a dumb idea but here I am watching it.

I haven't been able to watch but seems fun.

I'm hoping to go to the real tournament on Sunday

It's kinda like watching an all-star game where people are playing out of position. Which is fun in its own way.

I noticed quite a few REALLY great last minute resale ticket prices for the middle rounds of the Cincinnati Open. I don't know if that will apply for the US Open, but it might be worth keeping an eye on.

US Open prices are out of control. Ticketmaster holds back tickets, creates a crazy resale market, and then releases more face value tickets right up to day of. It's amazing to me that it's legal.

I think I got night semis last year for like $190 and I'd never do that again. I'd rather go to Cincinnati or Charleston or something.

Early round grounds passes are the best.

Yeah buddy! Get that Ashe ticket and you can do it all!

I hate it so much for the regular mixed doubles players and what it did to the schedules of Cincinnati and Toronto.

The pictures of some of the details and finishes of this thing are shocking, not even hating either.

The ceremony of allegiance will never go away, despite everyone hating it. Nobody is going to subject themselves to that week of phone calls and emails.

I'll bet you a six pack that if we make an external hire it will be gone next season.

I'm not a wildcat march hater, I'm indifferent to it and don't think it's the biggest issue with the pregame, though I wouldn't be mad if it were gone. If it stays, they should incorporate some cooler marching band thing. Script Ohio isn't some crazy pump up song, people just like it because of what the band does. Same thing with Texas A&Ms fake army music, it's the precise marching that people like.


The run on continues to be cool, I like it. The ceremony of allegiance is wack. I get that we have to do the national anthem, listening to the preamble and doing the pledge of allegiance is completely unnecessary, it's a football game. I liked the few years when the band formed a K tunnel and the players ran through it. If it was the operations staff, or the head coach that got rid of that, that's fine, I guess, if it was Dr. Tracz that did, it should come back.

Like him or not, he earned their Sudler Trophy (closest thing to a college marching band national championship).

I can't believe he's a play by play man for a power 4 school with that voice. He must call the game super clean because that voice is horrific.

I will IRL cry if Pizza Shuttle goes out of business.

Well it's time to grieve, I have. The potential sale to the owners of the Lawrence and Topeka pizza shuttles feel through. It's over. FWIW, I had shuttle this summer and it was mid, at best. They didn't even have the logo on the boxes anymore.

Dr. Tracz is retiring. This is his last football season.

He’s done a lot of good things but rumblings are that it is time.

say more about that

As a non band hater, and someone not at all familiar with the day to day, everything around game day and pregame is extremely stale and the band has a massive role in that. It's no secret that Dr. Tracz is let's say, hesitant to change and is really particular about his fiefdom.

I can also report that he's ruffled some feathers around the athletic department multiple times. The email begging for money for Ireland was embarrassing for the department, especially given the funding was already provided for the band, and he didn't go through the proper channels in making sure that email, with a very false narrative, went out.

THE ALAMO BOWL?!? I will be very upset.

The Alamo Bowl means we lost the conference championship game and didn't make the cfp.

steve dave doesn't dare show his face in here when the Red Sox have spent the last two weeks taking the belt to the Astros ass. 4-1 with a combined score of 35-13 the last 13 days. Astros need to keep playing division games against the A's and Angels and leave the actual good teams alone.
