ku vs CSU @ Sprint Center ticket availability update:

[Scary Smart]

More importantly, I wouldn't drive to Manhattan on a Monday night to go watch them play Alcorn State when I can watch a glorified scrimmage from the comfort of my own home.

And I certainly wouldn't blame you. I've always thought it's about as lame as it gets to try and talk trash on attendance numbers for games like this. The game was sold out, K-State got it's money anyways, who cares about no-shows for a game like Alcorn State? I've gone to a lot of sporting events and seen a lot of other teams fan's, and honestly, KU and K-State both have very good loyal fan-bases for the most part, but any Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) can see that KU has some clear advantages when it comes to pure attendance numbers, such as having 85% of their alumni within 90 minutes, 10 times as many alums as ksu within 30 min, bigger town, slightly bigger school, and other such reasons that any eff stick should be able to figure out.

I'm five minutes away so I was there, but no way in hell am I driving two hours each way with work in the morning to watch Frank work his favorite strategy; playing the "go 12-deep on the bench within the first five minutes of game-time while asserting dominance by picking random starter to sit the games entirety for fun wacky reasons like eye hernia's, "lessons", or just because of some dream I had. Then let a Canadian run the point for 30 minutes alongside terrified homely looking walkon's in hopes of turning the game into one big steaming turd sandwich with a side of complete cluster eff so as to allow me to destroy my players physically and mentally the rest of the week and tell interviewers how I'd literally fight each and every upperclassmen right now for being such non-leadership practicing assholes if I wasn't so busy being sick to my stomach puking blood and sobbing uncontrollably most of the day from having to be around this smelly abortion of colossal $!#* muscles posing as a basketball team every day", game.

Just a disclaimer: I will laugh really really hard if ISU averages more fans than Kansas State at the end of the year. Seems to always happen anyway. Quit sucking, you have a good team for once. It's not like you are a basketball power who has this good of a team all the time. Take your purple shades off and actually go to the rough ridin' games.

Iowa State has nearly 4000 more students than K-State, Ames is right down the road from Des Moines,  Iowa has 200,000 more residents than Kansas.   Why would Iowa State possibly averaging a few more in attendance than K-State be the least bit surprising??  K-State is completely sold out for the season.    This is not hard.

Strolling through downtown Kansas City yesterday I noticed a bunch of Ku basketball tickets just blowing around on the streets.  I'll bring my camera and try to snap off some pics next time, kcp.

First, using average number of fans is not an equal metric for comparing attendance (and ditto to the points Dax made)...now, stats nerd point is out of the way....it is easy to understand why Hilton gets good attendance. Anyone who has been to Ames knows what I'm talking about.

Iowa State fan - "Do I,      A) involve myself in some beastality, a favorite of most Iowans, B) do some antiquing, C) cook some meth, or D) watch the Clones do battle in Hilton, then find that goat to make love to?"

Someone tell ISU fan you can't count mold spores and tadpoles in the attendance.

had a season ticket holding friend of mine make the drive from KC for the Alcorn St game.  JHR's power monster dunk in the last few minutes made it all worth it

Keep the excuses flowing.  This is great stuff here.

I turned down a few free tickets.  The sprint center isn't that great and I have better things to do on a saturday afternoon than wade through the douchebags at the p&l to see a half-assed game in a crappy corporate arena.  If someone offers me tickets within 10 rows of the court I might re-consider though. 

Doubtful

Why is that so hard to understand??   Hilton is a larger arena, why couldn't Iowa State potentially average more per game than K-State?   ku is currently giving away 1000's of tickets for free to the game in the Sprint Cener.   ku was scrambling to find people to buy tickets to other games this season.    ku issued groupons for home football games.

That's cool, I bet it did. I'm not saying that's it's stupid to drive up for games like that at all, just that I understand people that don't.
