Let's make fun of the bell tower!

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

Is this true?  :sdeek:

Yes unfortunately.  They removed or disabled the original bell around 7 years ago I think and installed an electronic one.  This was told to me by KU staffers themselves.  They don't like it.

So they just have a big Logitech up there playing bell sounds?  WTF?  Tear out the track and play electronic bell music.  My god

Does this mean there is a chance we could blast Thunderstruck from our WWI memorial?

It's WWII Spracs . . . know your history!

Anderson's bells are electronically operated as well (if they even play them anymore).

I'd be pissed if you didn't.  That song is intense

Should probably get Thunderstruck out there for use on the hour and a mixed playlist by O.A.R. to loop in between.   :billdance:

they should put some kind of device in the tower that shoots lightening out of it for when they play that song, which would likely be 24/7.

Sorry to have to semi-defend ku here, and maybe they have a recording to play sometimes, but there's still a functioning carillon in the campanile and people still play it.

That's not really metal enough for KU fans.

was there a turning point moment where KU really abandoned their rich history and tradition or has this been more of a frog in pot of hot water scenario?

Former Maryland WR Nigel King transferred to Kansas.

As a graduate transfer, King is eligible to play immediately. Good thing, that, as Kansas isn't exactly ocean-deep at receiver. In fact, the 6-foot-3, 210-pound King is already No. 2 on the depth chart. He has a real chance to earn a starting job immediately in a Charlie Weis offense that should be better (it can't be worse). Last year, King ranked third on the Terps with 33 catches, fifth with 450 receiving yards, and No. 1 with four receiving touchdowns.
