rake, did I send you my Todd English at the PUB picture? WOW

no, but get this: that day i told you i was going to TEP, i ended up winning a raffle that entitled me to three hours all-you-can-drink, me and my friends (if i had any  :frown:), in our own private area. pretty sweet.

i was also automatically entered into a drawing for a 70-inch TV!  :Woot:

This was right before I won shitloads of money on sports betting

If ISU can raise almost $900 million for the school under Chizik and McDermott, anything can happen.

yes, but from an academic standpoint, ISU is superior to KSU by almost every measure.

I've enjoyed Good Times in the Little Apple. I like you people.

I do not recommend any phrasing similar to "top 50 public research institutions" in a country with 50 states. There are much more flattering ways of expressing yourselves.

there are 629 public universities in the US. i'm not sure all of them define themselves as a "research institution," but any school that isn't conducting research can't be taken seriously anyway as they are not contributing to the greater societal good. if kansas state became a top 50 school, it would rank them in the top 7 percent of all US institutions.

i would venture a guess that you are not in the top 7 percent in the US in any single thing you do. you are probably not a top 7 percent cook; you are probably not a top 7 percent employee; you are probably not a top 7 percent citizen. you are just an ordinary regular person who is adequate or average at everything you do.

i feel horrible for any k-stater who has a child that's 5 years old or younger.

My College is ranked #8 in the country... With 125 other schools offering the same degree I guess that puts me in the top 6.4%?  :dunno:

I hope this means I get to choose the new coach! :crossfingers:
