Yelp, new flagship sailing through

[Spracne]

Give it up, Tim.  They're just better than us in every way.  It's time to go home.

4th year of declining enrollment 

too bad that article was dated September 2012...what is this years enrollment?

 

http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2013/sep/27/ku-enrollment-continues-fall-while-incoming-studen/

Fall enrollment at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses stands at 24,435 students

And LOL at the two similar headlines exactly 1 year apart

and LOL at ksu counting their students in Salina...if they can count that then KU can count KU med which puts us over 27,000 which is more than KSU

Hey Tim,

Can you please teach your brethren on this site how to bbs? Must be embarrassing to see for you.

How is that any different than KU counting their students at the Edwards campus?

It truly is amazing how much better K-State has been than KU in almost every aspect over the last several years.  Building stuff, sports, academics, enrollment, nbaf, etc.  I mean it really boggles the mind.

Somebody take pics of all the homecoming flagship floats.  T-Y.

yea might as well pack it in...our endowment which is about $1 billion more than our little brothers and out much more superior athletic success...we just can't compete. oh and MHK is just a thriving metropolis.

Beems listed "larger campus" as a reason KU maintains flagship status. I mean what in the eff does that have to do with anything?

MOVE OVER, UC-BOULDER! USAFA HAS 18,000 ACRES!

Campus size isn't any more arbitrary than undergraduate enrollment.  Using your guys' logic, UC-Davis is more of a flagship than Stanford. 

[kim carnes]

We probably won't be big 12 champs in b-ball or football again for the next 15 years.  Maybe baseball tho.

[Spracne]

Kansas State University - Manhattan is the flagship institution of the Kansas State University system.  So, yeah, they are a flagship.  The term has become bastardized, and now it's more of an issue of perception and majority opinion.  Sorry.

KU 27,000>KSU 24,000

The point is true.  However it was a terrible, terrible way of saying it, especially considering Cal - Berkley is actually the flagship of the UC System (and has a larger enrollment, to boot!)

The issue in the logic that you failed terribly to highlight is this:

KSU has more undergrads than KU
[missing premise]
------------------------
KSU is better than KU

The missing premise must be "if school A has more undergrads than school B, then school A is better than school B."  Once you've shown that, it's pretty easy to see how that premise is flawed.  But it doesn't matter, anyway, especially since this whole discussion is 99% trolling, because they know it pushes the buttons of many, many KU fans.  The 1% that is homerism, well, what do you think you're going to do about that, anyway?

the bottom line is that more high school students want to move to manhattan for four years and attend kansas state than want to live in lawrence and take classes and ku. take that information and spin it however you want i guess.

at the end of the day you have two schools in the same conference, in the same state and on the same highway that are only separated by 80 miles and one is losing students at a ridiculous pace while the other is gaining inversely. sucks to be ku/lawrence but that's what you get for building a topeka bedroom community with a bunch of walmarts and stripclubs. i'd feel sorry for them if it wasn't so funny.

Actually, most of it is factually incorrect or naïve.  I don't care to argue about it, tho.  PM if you need some handholding through the specifics.

none of it is factually incorrect or naive. i've only really lived in two towns my entire life. lawrence for 8 and mhk for the rest. i also have degrees from both schools. what i said above wasn't a troll. it is what it is. we can debate this if you want though. it's a free board and nobody is going to ban you if that's what you are worried about.

when is "bunch" considered two? lawrence has TWO walmarts...not a "bunch"

[OregonSmock]

Using 'tater logic, Texas A&M is the flagship of Texas, Iowa State is the flagship of Iowa, Michigan State is the flagship of Michigan, etc, etc.  Just another dumbass thread from a fanbase desperate for success.

Manhattan is cool if you like shitty restaurants, fat chicks, and country stampede.
