Was just about to order the matted and framed version, then remembered Currie was going to make this obsolete in 5 months.

Blackcats, seems like you're ITK.. any more details to the grumblings you've mentioned?

Two large donations that will each have their own on-field presentation (not sure which games).

Hotel still up in the air.

Is that only in regards to the hotel, or is there something else in the works?

I've heard too many things that are on the table to suggest what they may be.

examples?

Big push on Vanier, east side castle, south side connector for football. Total overhaul of the OOD, or concourse widening for basketball.

Lazy river connecting the two.

I mean seriously, everyone has an opinion on what Currie is rapidly raising money for...no one seems to know or agree.

What I have heard from a few is a push at new donors. The ones who just gave a crapload (which are usually my ITK guys) have been told there is something great coming up, the Ahern fund would like them to be a part of it if they would like but understand they just gave a bunch and there have already been lead gifts committed. The sneaky part is donors to WSC and BTF have been hearing this so I can't say it's a BB or FB project. Makes me think it's the South connector with some additional never talked about upgrade for the north side of the OOD. Benefits both. Whether has a hotel or not... 

The Bram/BSFS connector has been rumored for years.  It's been on someone's wish list for a long time.

I remember the old guard on GPC talking about it ten years ago.

It seems to me that the easiest way to consolidate projects is to do east side Vanier/castle and connect Bramlage and BSFS.  Then eventually close the bowl and put a jumbotron on it like Mich. State or Tech.

What's the big benefit with connecting BSFS and OOD?

Good photo of the cats.

According to Currie a special door solves everything.  Quick access to Coke machines, etc.

Papa Cat and Baby Cats.

Hey everybody in case you didn't know that's the Powercat logo, and that's the Powercat logo over there as well, and there's one there, and there, oh, and there's one there, and there, and look at that, there's another one.

I wonder what our logo looks like...

Does it say "K-State" on it anywhere?   

[Super PurpleCat]

Where's the flame-throwing cat heads?

From Ayo, even more Powercat logos....





This leaves a few questions?

1. How many Powercat logos will the WSC have (any guesstimates)?
2. How many Powercat logos is too many logos?

There isn't. I was saying if the next project is the south end connector it benefits both facilities high end donors.

The masses will get bathrooms and concessions. Maybe (big maybe) a few extra seats in BSFS. It will mostly be a big donor room added to the OOD and a Catwalk so club members can go back and fourth without touching the unwashed filth. So I've heard.

I think we didn't go far enough with our powercat logos. We should have had a powercat inlaid on every single limestone brick. Just another example of Kansas State pinching pennies, I guess.

The big archway should be a big animatronic Powercat with a mouth that opens for people as they walk in.  Named NomNomCat.

There sure are a good amount of cats.  What I'm seeing a lot of are small's and large's.  Now we need some medium's.

Revenue.  Just another dual purpose premium amenity for our rich fans to gobble up that can be used throughout the year.

Make the Legends Room an actual club space and not a tiny piece of crap off the fOOD, which it mostly is now.

This room is currently under-utilized and reminds me of a late 80's furniture store.  Needs some major TLC.  They could do some really Elite stuff in there if designed properly.

I've never understood what the big deal about a connector would be. Would need to see rendos I guess. But there are still at least 5 other major projects I'd rather do before a connector.

Are you saying that as people enter through the main arch, they literally enter into an animatronic 'Cat's mouth?  Is there a "mind blown" emoticon I could use at this point?

[WildcatNkilt]

I see the "connection" as extending Bram towards BSFS over the South concourse.  Adding fixed restrooms and concessions.  Top portion (where the Legends room is located) is extended and remodeled into an elite lounge area for rich alumni (that can be utilized during basketball season as well).  The JumboTron is removed and a new one is placed on top of the new lounge suite/Bram structure.

I count so far.

I think we'll need at least 50 by time it's all said and done. Where will they put the rest?

So if you had to choose N or S in the next 5 years, which would it be? Gotta be Vanier, right?
