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

spracne brings a solid point, all the great california beach cities are loaded with bums.

it's the nicest thing you can say about lawrence. they have more homeless per capita than you'd expect to find in a small midwestern town.

[EMAWzified]

Detroit has a large homeless population. Detroit, the wasteland of the industrial age where freezing in a real possibility six months out of the year.
When you think, KU is kind of the Detroit of higher education. Declining population, being surpassed by more energetic, forward-looking competition.

Does Detroit still have a homeless problem? Pretty sure you can barter a house for 12# of aluminum cans. Not sure though, maybe it's picked up there.

"Mayoral candidates, business leaders and policy wonks on Mackinac Island are all quick to expound on how Detroit can once again be a great American city. But for all their sage advice on economic revitalization, once again there’s barely a peep on how to solve the city’s mounting homeless crisis, which has swelled to approximately 20,000 people."

I know what you're thinking, for that size of city that doesn't seem that bad considering Lawrence has like half that.

Hell, I'm pretty sure you can pick one of many houses for the price of a crowbar.

Last time I was in Detroit I saw two bums fighting over a can of cheese whiz.  I imagine one could witness a similar event in Lawrence only instead of a can of cheese they would be fighting over a half eaten block of ethically produced organic cheese from Trader Joe's.

Guys, shut up

Guys, shut up

Yeah I bet like half of the posters here like to put on their iron man suits (which we can all afford bc we're all basically tony stark) and punt dead horses into the air for miles that for some reason always seem to land in Junction City regardless of where they were kicked from because really where else would they go?

He was sitting while citing.   Duh.   I'm not going to hold your hand forever.

The 2 worst posters posting back to back. Good grief

Beems in full rage meltdown mode over on the Phog.  Someone please hide his anti-depressants before something bad happens 

Pepperjax34 wrote: Well the tater circle jerk didn't take long to reach full steam. It's good to know that KU football is in their heads 24/7. They're still dealing with the psychological trauma of watching KU go 12-1 and win an Orange Bowl. Having an all-time losing record against a basketball school has to hurt as well.

Lil' bro seeking validation for their new football complex (seven years after KU built our's) doesn't really say anything about the rivalry. Taters have been waiting a lifetime for this kind of moment.

[Jackstack99EMAW]

Is there ever a moment where Beems isn't melting down?  He's reverted to phog talking points.   

[ChiComCat]

You have to go back at 6 years for the Orange Bowl smack to be relevant.  You have to back nearly 60 for the record to go KU's way.  K-State builds a football complex, they are better off building a time machine.

[CNS]

I call dibs on the time machine once they get it built and start loaning it out.  Still haven't dealt w the wallpaper inventor guy fully yet. 

[Cire]

Beems, if you don't come here to defend ku who will?

[OregonSmock]

You don't get to pick and choose which points in history are relevant.  The bottom line is that K-State has an all-time losing record to a basketball school and is building a new football complex seven years after KU built our's.  Congrats, by the way (the renderings are awesome).
