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.

I think the headline is really misleading, teams are better at punting to limit returns in addition to punting less

Pft... I'm not paying money for an Ubben article, even if it is a rare one showing positive light on K-State/Manhattan.

 :confused: Ubben is great. Anyway the article is very short. The only thing about the article that is enlightening is that the band members who play in Aggieville on Friday nights have to pay to do so. I'm sure it's no surprise but there are a healthy amount of butthurt KU fans in the article comments.

Dunno, didn't say

“It’s a ton of fun,” said J.T. VanGilder, who spent four years in the band and now serves as the president of Kansas State’s alumni band association and works in Manhattan. “And you get a lot of half-drunk people who eat that kind of stuff up.”

Years ago, a collection of businesses spawned the idea of pooling their money to help create the band to liven up home game weekends, which in turn created a unique atmosphere. The tradition was born.

Students, for $10 and a free meal at the end of the night, provide the soundtrack.

I read that as the businesses that have the band show up pitch in to pay each band member $10 and a meal.

Does no one remember Ubben back when he was at ESPN covering the Big XII and dogged on K-State constantly? It wasn't always in his articles but it was certainly on his twitter, back when twitter was a thing to have.

Lol. He crap on us so hard in 2011 and 2012 because we kept doing things we shouldn't be able to do. And basically wrote a "told you so" type article when we lost to Baylor.

Do we remember when he was at ESPN? I'd recommend you use the search function here and search his name. We constantly talked about him and he loved goEMAW and we loved him. I don't remember him being unfair and he has continued to show love to K-State whenever he changes jobs. I think his height of K-State love is when he had his own show on FSN then when he had to publish his own stuff before he got on at The Athletic.

Ubben is a friend of EMAW.
