The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!

Put a run down, outdated, sewage filled german pillbox, that has a football field inside with a track around it, on it.

Would be inschredible

Make the "THE" in black, I can't see it.  Also,these must be put on your spread shirt site.  PM me when they are ready,so I don't miss out.

Don't think I'm allowed to put a j-hawk on it tho.   

You can, but they might ask you to stop

[Cire]

Then Rustin Dodd might blog about it

I remember the first time I qualified to compete at Kansas relays.  It was the big time,  and the setting was awesome, really sad it's gone.

Not just the Kansas Relays.  Think about the HS state championship track meets.

Olympic Gold Medal winner Maurice Greene won the 100, 200, and 400 on that track while at KC Schlagle.

Think of how many others have had made similar memories on that track.  It's a shame it's gone.  Now they get to go build memories in an industrial park that looks like an Olathe children's soccer park.

RIP Kansas Relays

I am more than a bit choked up right now. This is really sad for the entire state.


Gonna win 'em all!

I thought it was pretty clear we were being sarcastic about the track. I can't believe they killed such an important part of state history over what was clearly a joke.

We need to be more careful with the influence we have over them

[Dugout DickStone]

I thought it was obvious that we were just jealous.

We should revive the practice of posting sacasm in italics so that such a large devastating mistake doesn't happen again.

So do we add a track to our extensive list of improvements?

I don't want to copycat like they did with the Harley track.

Another fairly simple, temporary way to spruce up the stadium would be to repaint all of the blue trim around the walls and entry tunnels to a brighter more true KU blue. I don't think they've touched that paint in years, and it looks drab and faded.  Wonder what that would cost. The AD should allow donors to buy buckets of paint

They can't even afford paint, it breaks my heart guys

I've got a half gallon of Sherwin somewhere around here.  It's blu-ish

It could be argued that KU blue is a faded distressed blue.

They need to finish painting the rest of the stadium first. As far as I can tell that trim is all that's even been painted.

Then, lower the field and install a better and more efficient septic system (the bathroom drain isn't cutting it), then raise the field back up.  Construction question, is potter pond maxed out as the leach field?

KU's toilets are abominable. Rock Chalkk AbominableHawk.

Sorry Fake SD, lowering the track would make them dig up the septic tank laterals, then the toilets would be worse than ever.  Neglect has a way of cascading, narrowing your options.  They might be able to buy a bunch of Rid-X to improve the septic tank operation.  I heard flushing yeast down the toilet helps, too.  Maybe we help by buying Rid-X and yeast for 'lil bro?

If ku only wins 1 or 2 games this season, which I expect to be the case, does Chaz survive another year ?
Or to ask the question differently, does ku have the bucks to buy-out Charlie's last 2 years.

Assuming Charlie is fired, the next head coach will walk into a horrible situation.
According to ku's current depth chart (updated on 8/7), 6 starters on defense are seniors and 7 starters on offense.

But look closer:
Charlie does not have 1 starter on defense that he & his staff recruited out of high school... not one.
8 of the 11 starters on defense were recruited by Gill... the other 3 are juco players.
Greg Allen is listed as a sophomore, but he was part of the 2012 recruit class.
The only notable player that Charlie has added on defense, is Sendish (juco recruit).
KU's best defensive player, Heeney, was recruited by Gill.
Probably their second best defensive player, Stowers, was recruited by Gill.

Offensively, ku's best player, Pierson was recruited by Gill.
Their starting running back, Bourbon, recruited by Gill.
2 of their starting o-lineman, recruited by Gill.

ku might have 1 or 2 starters on offense that were recruited by Chaz & Staff out of high school.
Mozart thier QB (he will likely be a train wreck) and a redshirt freshmen, Joe Gibson "might" earn a starting spot on the o-line.
2 juco starters on offense and 2 transfers ( + 5 Gill recruits).

From what I've seen so far, Turner Gill was a much better "head" coach than Charlie...  now that's bad.

By the way, a juco player or two could still step up for the CATS, but as of right now, 9 of K-State's 11 starters on defense were recruited out of high school by Snyder & Staff  ... and 9 of 11 starters on offense were recruited out of high school by Snyder & Staff.   It's called, developing players, something Chaz knows nothing about.

GO STATE !

[CNS]

Pretty obvious that Turner Gill did indeed just need more time.  Hope they learn that lesson and give Charlie the time he needs to get Gill's players cycled through and Charlie's players a good 2-3 years in before looking their coaching sitch.

I actually don't mind the different colored turfs as it gives the actual field more definition but isn't overdone like BSU's field.
