How much did having a modern arena contribute to us passing KU as a basketball program? It's easy to point to Frank Martin as the sole reason we passed them by but I think more modern facilities had something to do with it as well. Not that Frank couldn't have done it anyway but I think it made it easier.

I am not sure it is the modern building as much as it is how incredibly rundown/old/stink infested theirs is. It is a fine distinction but an important one.

The real question is what is a phog allen field house? is phog slang for fog? who is allen? They should include a last name at least. Last I checked Basketball is played in Gymnasiums not fields. So shouldn't it be Gymnasium house?

When 610 Sports Radio is your primary sponsor, your building is crap. I feel sorry for them every time I see them on TV, realizing that they had to paint their Jayhawk logo so damn big because there were gaps on their court where corporate sponsorships were supposed to go. TSC

That quaint little mom and pop candy maker isn't a sponsor anymore?

I'm leaning heavily to attending tomorrow's game there, and am already bracing myself for the ensuing self-pat-on-the-backs by KU fans. "What an atmosphere!" "Best crowd in america!" I mean, come on, the one game a year that place gets even remotely raucous and it's because big bro is coming to town. Can't fault them too much though, it's all they have. TSC.

i sure hope everyone who attends the game tomorrow has all of their shots up-to-date. t&p's, friends.

Fescoe on twitter today saying that in a discussion w/ self, he basically said that now that MU is gone, we will be their rivals.

Superbowl confirmed.

we do not agree to be your rivals KU, try Iowa State

CNS · « **Reply #58 on:** January 03, 2012, 01:53:23 PM »

ISU would be a great match for them. I hear they have potential to shoot well. Also, the coaching quality is almost identical. The Mayor and Self are amazingly similar.

Personally, I would love if we could get WVU. I am tired of providing a bunch of anticipation for their fan group without them returning the favor. I mean, when was the last time you had any doubt that we would win the game. It's a two way street, tx.

WVU can be #2 rival, and TCU #3 football only.

So delusional they have no idea what that antiquated crap hole is doing to what was once a solid D-1 BB program.

Doesn't a team have to win every once in awhile to be considered a rival?

They started a bogus thread and then waited to see if it would hit Phog, which it did, which they will laugh about.

Their bitterness over KU's place in college basketball is infuriating to them. I would probably feel the same way if I were in their shoes and they were hoops darlings who dominate.

i'm not trolling. the place smells like cat piss 24/7 guys and it's on the shitty part of campus next to some major housing slum areas just to the north. i hope to god they never build a new up to date sophisticated arena.

wow, another poor little squawk.

you guys have a flukey season in football, luck into a good orange bowl game, and now you come here and have to seek validation this way.

If I were you I'd draw a warm bath and open a couple veins.

Catbowski, you said the same thing as Casey, only later, and much less interestingly. Like you Luked it, only boring-er.
