Oh man, all this uppity KU fan talk reminds me of a great story that happened the first time the Katz played Stanford a couple of years ago and possibly the best one liner of all time.

My friend had started dating a girl who went to KU and brought her to a watch party where she met all of the friends for the first time.

Eventually the conversation went like this (We thought she was joking at first but she wouldnt back down)

Friend1 "So now that you are dating (our friend) are you going to start cheering for kstate too"?
Girl "Never, I can't stand K-state, their trashy"
Friend1 "Excuse me, everyone here is trashy?"
Girl "Kind of yeah, just trashy, KU is a much better school and the fans are classier"
Friend1 "So you think KU grads are better than Kstate grads?"
Girl "Yes, absolutely"
Friend1 "Are you kidding me? YOU GREW UP IN A SPLIT LEVEL HOUSE, YOUR NOT BETTER THAN US"
The girl immediately started blushing and stopped the conversation.

Later I asked friend1 how he knew she grew up in a split level house since we had just met her that night and he said "I didn't but I knew she grew up close to your parents and they have a split level house so I took a guess"

Well, we're certainly better at navigating the treacherous waters of homophones. I also take umbrage with the gauche premise that the kind of house one grew up in defines one's value as a person. Lastly, Friend1 sounds trashy.

The moral of the story is she ended up judging herself the same way she judged K-State grads, thus realizing her own shortcomings.

TIL that split-level homes are considered trashy or lesser than other homes. I've never lived in one but I feel like I've been in some nice ones. Upon Googling it appears they are cheaper to build due to a lack of excavation and need for retaining walls so maybe that's where the perception comes from?

There are a crap-load of them in Olathe. JOCOs look down their noses at Olathites, or at least they used to.

Yep! This is what it's about. I had one JoCo tell me Olathe is the RC Cola of all the KC suburbs.

Funny comparo no doubt but JoCo can GTFOOMF w/ the snobbery

I work with people who absolutely think that KU is "harder to get into" than kstate

Seems like this should be pretty easy to figure out arithmetically.

I don’t get that talking point, but regardless I think MIR hinted at it elsewhere that the comical part is KU folks being convinced that, outside of the Lawrence/KC Megaplex, there is any perceived difference between a KU and KSU degree. With of course the exception of specific programs within the schools that have their own prestige.

It’s just funny to think a recruiter in Florida, Texas, California, DC, New York, etc. would look at a resumes of candidates who got BS degrees in business from KU vs. KSU as being any different at all.

In 2020, acceptance rate for K-State was 95.4% whereas KU was 93.1%.

You don't have to dive very far under the surface to get the primary reason KU fans obsess with moving to the BIG or elsewhere is to avoid their annual K-State football beat down.

The admissions requirements appear to be exactly the same...

I have a couple Wildcats shirts that don't say K-State they just have old school Willy and Wildcats so I'm more forgiving.

It was a few days ago, so I technically could find some quotes, but there were some discussion as to whether Duke would be desirable to other conferences. I think the general consensus was no, at least by some. Thought that was interesting.

I think I read the same post. Something along the lines of UVA and, especially UNC, wouldn’t leave Duke behind. Though they believed that may all change 5-10 years post K if their Bball brand diminishes. Talked about how it was a similar situation to us, but the difference was KU has long wanted to rid themselves of the purple albatross around their neck. It was quite ironic IMO.

Another gem was found in their cfb week 3 other games thread. Poster was bitching about us whipping ass, how the taters better not have found another Snyder, and how the only way to surpass us in football would likely be a B10/SEC invite that would give them more money.

We could solve all our funding problems if we started charging rent for all the real estate we own in your dome pieces, lmao.

Do you have a written lease I can examine to back up your claim?

No written proof, then? I'm sorry, but the 38-year lease you've given KU in your dome piece is not enforceable unless in writing. Sorry, but that's the statute of frauds for you. That means KU is now a tenant at will, and on behalf of KU please accept our notice of intent to vacate. We owe you one month's rent. PM me your address and I'll send payment for FMV of the real estate for 1 month.

Funny post, but you've been on the phog. We're not the ones with the complex.
