Can you imagine being so fantastically rich that you could give $300,000,000 to an entity as hapless as KU football and not be hurt in the slightest financially? Really boggles the mind.

Seems like a terrible waste. That money could buy a decent amount of awareness for something somewhere.

Last time I went to a game there they tore it down after. Thinking about going again this year.

This pic has to be fake, there's no ag equipment dealers visible in the picture.

If I were a KU fan I would have wanted a renovation of memorial instead of this monstrosity

The new exterior is so so, but I like how the interior looks so far

I shoved that in the meme folder a couple of years ago. Kufb account posted it before the season started.

It is odd. The press box at State Farm Stadium (Fiesta Bowl, Cardinals) has a similar layout.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Listening to Bob Davis try and provide coverage of a game from that angle would be highly entertaining.

Who says that's the press box? Just because there are press people in there?

Spracne, off topic but do you enjoy the sound of Brian Hanni's voice? Do you tolerate it? Or does it make you want to sharpen two wheat stalks, jam them into your ears until you can no longer hear but then keep pushing until they go into your brain and you are deaf and also dead?

Hanni is easy to make fun of, but I think he’s probably a pretty good homer. I like to imagine him at the dinner table.

Hanni: he wants the cheese… HE GETS THE CHEESE!

I never have to listen to him call a game, so my exposure to him is mostly just people like you guys talking about him. Obviously, the cornball, cheesedick schtick is not good. But I've heard his straight calls are not bad.

I can't believe he's a play by play man for a power 4 school with that voice. He must call the game super clean because that voice is horrific.

Hanni is absolutely terrible. And it's a shame because the guy he replaced was so good.

I've listened to lots of college pbyp and color teams . . . and the KU group are Top 10 homers.  Hanni is a spin doctor on par with those films they did during the Turner Gill era when during the course of the game they had you believing that KU was right in it until the very end, only to lose by 4 TD's with the game never in doubt.

We have been so blessed with radio guys in the last 30 years that we have become accustomed to the gold standard.  Hanni is probably not even the worst in the B12 if I had to guess.

Brian Hanni Throwback

A couple of months ago I went on 1 date with a young lady and asked her about her worst first date....

Her - "well this guy thought he was a big deal because he was an announcer for a local team"

Me - "So I'm kinda of a big sports fan, what team did he work for?"

Her - "I can't remember but (makes a motion to signify a big nose)...

Me - (interrupts her) "Brian Hanni, voice of the  Kansas jayhawks?!?"

Her - "yeah, his name was Brian so that's probably him"

Stadium looking good.  Have they gotten rid of the porta-potties on the concourse?

It's a significant and much needed update. Makes the east side/original look even more out of place though (I get it was meant to be done in stages).
