Is KU still giving away tickets via Taco John's?

Just a tip for all you unfamiliar with the Harvard on the Kaw. Don't give to the many begging poors you will nearly stumble over on Mass Street. The city has actually placed parking meters in key places downtown to collect money for the poor KU alums who made unfortunate choices in majors like art history or crack.

those are alums ?

I thought they were just a bunch of pot-smoking hippies who are in an endless cycle of taking and dropping classes so they don't have to face the real world. Who knew?  :dunno:

Any heroes out there who can score me two? They’re not distributing them at any New Orleans area Piggly-Wigglys, but I’m coming in and will be at the game.

I'd be willing to pay a goEMAW member here some money for a pair myself. My initial plan was to simply buy them outside the stadium, but if someone has them in advance, that would save me the hassle.

If you're looking for a great burger and an ice cold beer before or after the game, I recommend Johnny's West. I've know the owner for a very long time and while he obviously made the totally wrong school choice, he acts like he actually went to KSU and is a good guy. Besides, it's on the west side of campus/town and pretty much outside the general stench that emanates from downtown Larryville and that POS excuse of a campus/stadium.

I like Lawrence. It's very similar to mhk. Manhattan is like 5% more goat roper and Lawrence is like 5% more homeless. Other than that they are essentially indistinguishable.  :th_twocents:

I can't tell if you're serious or not, but Lawrence is a far more dilapidated than Manhattan. It's not even close.

I did just think of one difference, in the time I lived in Lawrence, the whole town never once smelled like a feed lot (aka $)

They do, but don't expect anything like MHK, private or commercial. Oh wait, you can't even fly commercial out of Lawrence, nevermind. Still, the FBO isn't all that, the ramp can be filled up quickly whenever a big game is being held, and Uber sucks.

My ticket plans are to still grab some freebies that they're handing out right before kickoff, or grab a pair off of stub hub for $20.

You will find a very consistent selection of chain stores on Mass Ave.  It will remind you of Olathe.

I am going because I support my Kats even when they play in very boring locations.

If Lawrence were in the middle of nowhere, it would have a shitty airport, too. Doesn't really make sense with MCI nearby, though.

To add, if looking for quite excellent BBQ, hit Biemer's.  It is 1/2 block west of Iowa on 9th (not far from campus).  Excellent BBQ across the board and I am a big fan of their wings (they are smoked then crisped in the fryer).
