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

[sonofdaxjones]

Man, so much history taken away with that track.  The Kansas Relays were originally held at the stadium in 1923, and now they're at some sterile location out in West Lawrence.   

Imagine how cool it would be to bring it back to Memorial some day!   

Word is that suburban beige subdivision developers from across the country are coming to walk-thru Rock Chalk Park in order to learn how they can build better sterile and soul less sports facilities, like the one ku built in North Ottawa.

Their shunning of something as important as tradition is both sad and typical.   Sometimes I wish those guys would think with thier heads and not the wallets of near by construction and trucking operations.

My kids are big Relay fans and are very sad about this loss.

I mean, what's next?  Fill in the lake for a parking structure.  Its just super sad when ppl don't take something as valuable as tradition into account when making drastic changes.

it's going to look a shitload better once they put the bus stop in

[Dugout DickStone]

It's sad that KU let a few sarcastic and juvenile fans convince them to destroy such a historical venue and put down asphalt and turf remnants in its place.

[Dr Rick Daris]

pave paradise and put up a parking lot

This is what happens when you fill your AD and Pres offices with ppl that are not alumni and have no idea the value of tradition.  Here's hoping that KU gets that corrected and gets their uni back on track.

[Emo EMAW]

They say K-State has sold out, and I'm worried KU is doing the same. 

[sonofdaxjones]

Many times walking down the hill to the Relays and such . . . now if I were to ever make it back it's off to a soul less concrete and asphalt track stadium that looks like it was just cut and pasted off the plans for the next high school football stadium in Johnson County.

Sad

Little known fact that the new track is the original site of the Relays and in fact track and field was invented in Lawrence.

A lost excerpt from the journal of Meriwether Lewis:

  12th of May 1804
Fair day.  Mr. McLain mustered a small crew to attend the races of the Kanza tribe at a spot one and one half days ride west of the Great Hill.

this is hilarious. the track was unique and awesome. was by far the best thing about their really poor facilities. we made fun of them for it non-stop anyway. they become humiliated by big bro mocking them about it. they tear it up and pave a hot mix harley track and multi colored turf. 100% of the reason they made their stadium even worse is ksu fans making fun of them. we are their puppet masters. amazing.

[steve dave]

idea: start making fun of their super bowl winning HC who is on the path to turn their ship around if he's given enough time. they will fire cw and send themselves spiraling down the toilet even further.

We didn't push for Mangino getting fired, and they shot themselves in the foot all by themselves.

Or the fact that it is an electronic bell and not a real one.
