Yelp, new flagship sailing through

[Spracne]

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.

Beems, Tim... Don't fall for it.

Everything he said was true though

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.

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

i swear to god that manhattan has better restaurants than lawrence.

This is actually true.  I've been to at least 20 restaurants in Manhattan that are better than anything Lawrence can offer.

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

actually, the quote was "a bunch of walmarts and stripclubs" and the last i checked, lawrence had more of those than manhattan and topeka combined.

again, i don't have a major issue with it and am by no means a "prude", but it is a pretty good barometer for what kind of town lawrence is and no real wonder why cool high school seniors don't want to go there and parents of kids worthy of attending college don't want to send their kids there. is what it is. mass st. is nice though. also the disc golf course in centennial park.

[Dr Rick Daris]

restaurants are similar, although i'd give the slight edge to lawrence.

girls are the same. no edge.

before wakarusa got the eff out of dodge i would have given lawrence the "drunk music festival by lake" a big edge. but they couldn't sustain it, so you have to give mhk and the country thing the edge.

basically an edge push. no edge winners in the above three edge debates.

[OregonSmock]

The chicken strip selection in Lawrence puts it over the top, imo.

You have spent too much time in Oregon. Go back to smoking your dope and sitting under your sun lamp.

god damnit eastcat, oregonhawk and i were having a good discussion. either shut the eff up or go away. we don't want you here.

[GoodForAnother]

I have a lot of friends that went to KU and every single one of them says Manhattan is the better town

[kslim]

Tim is lashing out again.

Soon fanning..soon

Isn't this basic economic theory where the superior product is purchased by more consumers?

So if you go to the wikipedia page for the university of kansas, the citation for Flagship as it is referenced under the university type directs ot a USA today article from 2006, listing 75 flagships from 50 states.  Ergo, there can be more than one flagship institution per state... and you know what two universities are listed in that article? 

You've got it

 Lets just get along

So, Kstate is the super F'ship and KU is the junior f'ship that we stick up for when other F'ships from other states pick on then

"USA TODAY's annual survey of tuition and fees at 75 public flagship universities in 50 states looks at figures for first-year, full-time freshmen and includes all mandatory and major-specific fees assessed for students in basic Arts and Sciences programs. Room and board, books and other costs are not included."

It is weird having an actual source that doesnt come from some jorts wearing mouthbreather in Lawrence

Will NBAF be affiliated with the university at all?  If so we should get AAU because of it.

Yes. And yes.

Didn't I already explain to you butt-picking, fingernail-chewing, industrial glue-huffing, morose simpletons what "flagship university" means?  If you refuse to apply the lessons I provide, then there is no hope for your edification.

All of yous.  College Station is the flagship of the Texas A&M system.  Austin is the flagship of the UT System.  Lawrence is the flagship of the KU system.  Manhattan is the flagship of the KSU system.  The idea that there is one flagship per state is a misconception, and the measurement of same is based solely on a plurality of opinions from those without a stake.
