phog.net reporting that the $110M is only for phase 1. apparently they don't want to go overboard and fix too many things at once.

I hope they get something new and shiny. Maybe it will bring them success?

The Big Train · « **Reply #11078 on:** January 22, 2015, 01:53:10 PM »

shouldn't this be phase 2 since they already removed the track? maybe since the university couldn't pay for it they don't get to call it a phase, charity I guess. sad.

WildcatNkilt · « **Reply #11079 on:** January 22, 2015, 01:59:43 PM »

I also hope they don't half-ass this $110m like they have with their football training facility, jumbotron, and Rock Chalk Park. They work so hard to get shiny new things to "catch-up" and by the time it is finished they are behind again.

Still not in the same ballpark as what OU, OSU, Baylor, and Texas have done (not sure about KSU but again, they used bonds), but it's something.

so many bonds!

Fedor · « **Reply #11082 on:** January 22, 2015, 03:06:39 PM »

Bonds are just so much funny money, not worth the paper they are printed on I always say.

my fav? how they now want their stadium surrounded with parking lots, after clinging to the "BSFS is just a hole in the ground between two parking lots" talking point, they want to be just like us. now they're going to do that and then we're going to get in with the green space times and make our parking lots grass and be so much more big time than them and wow. eff we're elite.

If I were KU, I'd plant $100 million worth of trees and shrubbery around the stadium. Then I'd use the other $10 million to put a Bill Self statue on top of the hill. LHC Bill Snyder gets a highway named after him, and Bill Self gets a hill named after him. Hill Self.

Imagine what will happen to that project when the EPA finds out what KU has been hiding. Has the government raided that mesothelioma fund yet?

They tried to use bonds for their mbb rape den, but couldn't qualify financially.

ku has just been waiting for this moment. home run hire, have probably the best recruiting tandem for texas kids. the walk on program is gonna raid the fertile western kansas recruiting territory. time to show the conference and the nation that ku plays for keeps and history awaits.

It was a deal where my high school coach tried to force me to go to his favorite school.

you can't offer the Kansas high schoolers scholarships if you want to beef up the walk on program

There goes our walk ons. Schollarships from someone who doesn't even know how to polish diamonds, let alone remove rough.

But I have nothing against Ku. It's a great place love the staff, it's just not meant for me! They're going to do great things in the future

Regardless of what happened here, you can bet the KU coaches are working around the clock and will continue to do so up until signing day. And it's likely they already had a couple back-up plans in place to help offset these losses.

it's an interesting recruiting strategy, trying to get local high school coaches to force players to go to KU

Yeah the gw hiring in that capacity was weird because hs coaches don't care for him. He's very arrogant and aloof.

can confirm. During 7 on 7 games (in summer) that coaches are not allowed to be at, much less coaching, Weir was on the sideline full-on directing plays. Our coach - who I think is actually better - didn't respect him.
