The difference of course is that K-State is just as old as KU, and it weren't for some bullshit dealings by a bunch of frauds in Lawrence who pretty much lied about everything. K-State would have been the one and only large state university.UT is twice the size of KU, so I just recall the fond memories of Bob Hemingway declaring that KU would be a Top 25 Public University, and every year after that declaration KU fell in the rankings.

Temoc /?ti?.m??k/ (/t??mäk/) is the name of the official mascot of The University of Texas at Dallas, while student body is known collectively as the Comets.[1] He is an anthropomorphic astronomical being created to represent a "comet in a human form".[2] Temoc is depicted with bluish-white skin, a muscular physique, a strong cartoony smile (with no nose), fiery orange hair, and has black laced boots with a comet icon on the side.

I honestly think UT and KU have a lot in common if you remove academics, money, and prestige from the criteria.

Having spent a lot of time at both Kats U. and more recently at Bobcats U., I think Texas State is the best analogue, as is San Marcos. Surely 0.42 can concur. Also, both are Wooly-coached teams.

But it's important to remember this was a troll thread that I started because I was bored.
