Limestone we didn't get as rich as we are by investing our money in stupid pointless things out of butt envy and making someone else pay for it.

Damn.  I guess with all this cash laying around I forgot about sound investing.  It just seems like there is an endless supply, you know?

4-48 is just too steep of a mountain for lil bro to overcome.  Focus on squeezing every last drop out of Snyder and replacing the harley track.

How many times has Beems mentioned "Harley Track" in this thread alone?  I'm not psychologist, but I'm pretty sure he's in love with/jealous as hell of Harley Day.  Cheer up Beems, maybe with your awesome new track you guys can ride Harleys around the old track?

Imagine the ridicule K-State would receive if K-State unveiled drawings for 2 major facilities projects, one of which had a press conference and full blown press releases.    Only to turn around and have neither of them built?   What if K-State went and put up a giant banner and announced to the world that it was going to build a big fancy project and even go so far as to tell everyone on that banner the thing was going to be built and opened by a certain date?  Only to never move one pinch of dirt, nor pour a single foot of concrete for the thing?? 

Sadly for lil Bro over in Lawrence, that has been the case.

Then to top it all off, imagine if K-State athletics wanted a building that technically it can't build by NCAA rule, and subsequently went over to Topeka and tried to get another department at K-State to take on the debt to build the building, only to be told no??

seriously cant even imagine something like that. our donors just snap their fingers and open the checkbook and boom a year later we have another elite facility. hard to imagine it any other way.

I mean, since these things pretty much guarantee top recruits, and we've got cash laying around, why not, you know?

Before anyone could count the number of seats, Phog Allen declared that the capacity was 17,000, and who was going to dispute the legendary KU coach and the building's namesake? Privately, KU officials said 16,000 was more like it.

I guess the history of bluster and exaggeration isn't a new thing over there.

Good God, SODJ with another tape measure job.  Touch em all, Dax!

One thing was true though, they seemed to fill the non-athlete portion of the towers with good looking girls.


Can confirm.  I lived in Jayhawk Towers my one semester at KU.   :blush:
