Lawrence Kansas Thoughts:
« on: October 23, 2011, 07:16:17 PM »
1) The campus is not that pretty. KU fans, please hear me out. We parked at the lied center, and walked to the stadium. The buildings aren't nice, and don't have much continuity. The hills are decent, but I didn't get that warm feeling I get when walking near the mccain/nichols quad area. Any thoughts? Did i just walk through a "rough "rock chalk" spot" ?

2)The facade is beautiful. The stadium is really ugly. I had a "superdog" which was delicious! I also took home a souvenoir cup

3)The KU fight song is an absolute beast when it comes to trying to clap to it. I saw one elite KU fan nailing it time after time. Everytime he would finish nailing it, he would kind of look around and go "that's right motherf*ckers"

4)I thought we looked great! Defense, offense, special teams!

5) I went to "the wheel" after the game! I like how it is right in the middle of a residential area, but they only sell pizza.  :blindfold:

Anyway, I will not be in lawrence for another two years. Rock Chalk!

Getting yelled at by women's basketball players about being in their reserved section was fun.  Also I think it being autumn made the hills much more aesthetically pleasing than that rundown place would be on its own.

The deal wasn't as great as anticipated.  The "free" one was a fraction of the size of the one for which you paid.

It was a cheap, dishonest gimmick to keep people in their seats.  Shame on those in charge of this.

Stadium sucks. Mass Street is okay if you don't mind walking 2 miles between bars. Fans were actually kind of nice after the game....they probably spit in my burger.

Only good part was I got my ass grabbed....BY A KSU FAN! WHOOO!

red and blue recliners...most of them empty. Its really a shame that anyone thought it was a good idea.

Jealous of their video board..but, as always, the track is laughable.

The amplifiers that pipe in the band is lame and indicative of the horrid acoustic quality that Memorial has.

Jealous.  Haven't been able to hang out in that beautiful spot since we followed The Fighting Jonathan Beasleys there.   :embarrassed:

I was on KU's side of the stands and the Cat band DWARFED KU's band. They were really sad.  :frown:

You're forgetting the fact that the free cups changed colors depending on their temperature, as well as the fact that they were Breast Cancer Awareness cups

The entire experience reminded me a lot of a Shawnee Mission South football game.

Their band is very small timey. It's built to be loud inside Allen Fieldhouse, but that's it.

KU fans stayed longer than i thought they would especially on the west side. Student section is awful. If I ever see more KU fans than KSU fans in our student section  :curse:

Also, after our 4th TD I saw a drunk EMAJ standing and chanting as loud as he can, "MAN-GIN-O, MAN-GIN-O, MAN-GIN-O".
