Memorial Stadium in Lawrence blows

[PowercatPat]

I love listening to KU bring up their 2 women's track titles.  Trying to claim two basketball titles in the same season is my second favorite.

And that our football title was shared despite winning in Norman, but their basketball title wasn't shared.

If KUs season was so great why is Ben so mad?

[meow meow]

Oh boy beems is talking revenues again, pull up a chair and take out your notepads.

Great meltdown Ben, see you in 2 months.

I love the two basketball titles in one year talking point.  I'm willing to bet a very large amount of money that they won't say Missouri won a basketball title in 2011-12 to break KU's basketball title streak.

[catsdo]

Their football team hasn't won a conference game in over 2 years, their donors refuse to give money to renovate the worst stadium in the conference, and they're severely in debt.  It's probably time to get these guys out of the conference. 

[AppleJack]

Why did he call us KSUck? 

[pc5k]

Why did he call us KSUck? 

Because it has been confirmed that KSU is the big brother institution.  Beems is not coping well- all they have is women's track and basketball, then they put down kansas farmers while they wave the wheat at sporting events-  apparently ku fans don't use or eat agricultural products, just a strict diet of penis.

KU has multiple Big 12 titles this year in other sports

Yeah but I'm talking about sports that actually matter

[kostakio]

I like how Ben calls us poor yet we are the 2nd most profitable AD in the Big 12 behind Texas and KU is running a deficit. Makes total sense.

KSUck has the fewest sports programs in the Big 12 and therefore has less expenses than every other program.  KU shames KSUck in ticket sales and total revenue.  Plus our endowment is about a billion more than KSUck.  KSUck also has over $81 million in long-term debt.  KU isn't running a deficit, either, by the way.

How can you say that ku isn't running a deficit when the financial statements clearly show that they ran a deficit last year?  It's a fact they had a loss in both book earnings and had negative operating cash flow.  Kstate produced $19 million in operating cash flow.  But of course I'm sure that $20 million difference in operating cash is just a function of ku having a whopping 2 more varsity sports programs then kstate does.

Winning Big 12 titles doesn't matter to anyone outside the Big 12.  K-State fans over hype it because your shitty program never wins anything on a national level.  Your football team got blown out by Oregon, and your basketball team lost in the 1st round to LaSalle.  Your program is a joke and couldn't be a worse representative for the Big 12.

I guess you just have to experience a Triple Crown to understand.

I don't think I fully appreciate it yet. It may take years to comprehend such a monumental achievement.

Wow, is something else going on here beems?  You are not taking this well at all.

Your football team has managed to beat McNeese State, South Dakota State and Northern Illinois the last two seasons. That's it. Go have a beer.

Oh man, Beems is really melting down!

It's crap like this that makes zero sense. Have you seen your football team? 

[kim carnes]

Sharing a few co-championships in a dying Big 12 conference is as good as it gets.

Why didn't you do it then?

Btw, financially the Big XII is in the best place it has ever been. But you guys can move onto the MWC, maybe you can win a conference championship in something other than men's basketball

Well I hate to break it to you kid, but KU has multiple Big 12 titles this year in other sports.  Plus we're probably going to join the Big 10 in the next round of realignment, so good luck with the shitty Big 12 and winning co-championships in a league no one cares about.

wow

[sonofdaxjones]

When your football program has lost 28 of its last 34 conference games and hasn't won a conference championship in #45 years you've got denigrate the accomplishments of others as much as you can.

[GoodForAnother]

beems, it's not your fault

[420seriouscat69]

Did Manhattan throw a parade to celebrate the Big 12 baseball title?  If so, thoughts and prayers to all the farm animals that were raped in the process.

Wow, beams! You're better than this. Don't let the phoget talking points rub off on you.

Why is he so mad?
