Just saw some highlights of the expansion on Fox Sports.

I may not be a wildcat, but I see that setting and think "Blessed. So. Blessed."

Enjoy it, EMAW's.

ESPN wanted to do a 30 for 30 on the BSFS new pressbox, but we said "no, denied, we are FS1 only, has-beens".
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

If stomping on the feet of small children is what is needed to win.   LHC Bill Snyder see's no problem with it, they probably didn't have the neccessary intrinsic values anyway.

My only concern is, will those lack of intrinsic value children rise up some day and attempt to topple Snyder?

Yes, real thing. Like I said though, highlights. They weredoing a Big12 preseason "thing" and did a minute or two on BSFS. They showed the old pressbox being demolished, the new one in all its limestone glory, etc.

This wasn't on FS1, mind you. It was Root Sports here in WV, which is a Fox affiliate I believe.

The artist failed to account for the viewing angle, that's all.  Btw, this picture is hilarious and does nothing to dispel the warlock whispers:

Haven't seen it in person, but based on the pictures it seems to look a lot better from slightly below. The view from eye level is what look bad. So it seems like the artist maybe did get the proportions right for the viewing angle? Love the stance, love the shoes, love the windbreaker, it's just so LHCBS.

Also, can confirm that the reason for no headset is that the statue will in fact be adorned with real headset and assistant on gamedays. Are they in place yet for tonight?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

That looks like a statue of George H. W. Bush as Dr. Evil. Did a KU grad make this?

Why is he walking on those hands?

That's super creepy looking.

I keep thinking that Han Solo is under there

Or the disembodied souls of so many defeated opponents.

Currie wanted to help keep costs down, so he told the artist to reuse as much of his previous Rush Limbaugh mold as possible.  What a tightwad.

I'm sure your projects will be underway soon with all of the extra tv money you guys are making now that you are in the Big 12.
