But, but, but all K-State alums just head back to the farm and aren't worldly at all:

“It represents a big step forward because most of the money raised came from donors outside of Kansas,” said Currie, who added that half of K-State’s alums live outside of the state. “We’ve worked hard going coast to coast to reconnect with our constituents.”

Fantasy job: Ski-lift attendant, Snowbird or Alta

Life must be pretty rough as an AD.

As an AD who came into an athletic department facing a $2 million deficit, he knew the budget had to be cleaned up. Now it’s grown from $44 million to $47 million in fiscal 2011 and is operating at a $5 million surplus, he said.

Pretty fantastic given how the sports are operating at a fairly high level for that amount of money.

Very similar to what :IStateo: did. Took a trip to Tampa and came back with funding for the Indoor Football Practice Facility. I like Currie, had a great convo with him last September in Ames.

Havs: John, sorry can I call you John?
Currie: What do you think?
Havs: Uhh, sorry Mr. Currie sir, um so how about that weather we are having?
Currie: Cut the small talk, I know you are here to hit me up for funeral costs for your uncle and it isn’t going to happen.
Havs: I thought you might say that, I’m having some self worth issues being from Iowa and all. I hoped maybe some of your great smell would cover up the stench of the river that flooded my house.
Currie: Run along now you filthy little Iowan before your mold spores get on my designer suit.
