They should have had one section in the 100's for students and allocate those to the most boisterous and enthusiastic students. And the other section for Donors, dedicated Alumni, and staff. I had seats about 5 rows up and near midcourt in N.O. I wonder who's decision it was to do it this way this year. To go through the school and show support. I understand that you have to reward those who are in a position to give more money. But what about those of us who give things other than money? Fans who work their ass off to ensure the new stadium gets built, fans who routinely make road trips sandwhiched in between work to support the school, fans who NEVER leave early, fans who have not missed a game in 5, 10, or 15 years, fans who were here wen the program was nearly killed off, etc. I know that money talks, but is this society so vain that we ONLY reward those with money and connections? Did YOU go? Just remember, no matter how bad they get, they have to go back to Kansas. Hell, Kansas City doesn't even want to be in Kansas. The founders took one look around, and said, "Nope, we're Missouri.

Something really needs to be done. It's incredible how helpless many innocent families really are. My aunt and uncle own two very large construction related companies in Juarez and have done VERY well for themselves. A few months ago a gang kidnapped my Uncle's close friend thinking that is was my uncle and threatened to murder him if they weren't given $80,000 by the end of the day. Of course, my Aunt and Uncle were scared to go to the police (not that the police could/ would do anything) and were forced to pay the money. I won't get into the details but it seemed like something out of a movie. Everything seemed to be okay with the family until a couple weeks ago. My Uncle's dad was shot and killed for no reason at all while walking down the street near the one of the company's main offices. Since then, my family has shut down both company's and pulled their children out of school for the time being. I was in Juarez about a year ago and it was completely different than it was when I first visited in 04. No one stops at stop lights in fear of being robbed, we didn't leave the house once the sun went down, and security into my family's neighborhood had tripled. I honestly though everyone was over exaggerating just a little bit but now that my family is involved I see the true harm innocent people are caused. No more using the El Paso/ Juarez boarder for my family when we travel, that's for sure.

If I recall with Tramiel and George in the lineup we were -3 on the day. When we were missing one or the other or both ...we were -17. To me that says if we had more quality interior guys we coulda stayed with them. Now I know post players don't grow on trees....but it tells me we need to look for a transfer/JUCO/Freshmen post. And hope the ones we have now develop.

EDIT: Ahhh....I think you mean http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1454&dat=19761207&id=-8UsAAAAIBAJ&sjid=FhMEAAAAIBAJ&pg=1394,1390567

Agreed.. +1 for you, -1 for Kram

The Dodge family was supposed to sit in the first row, but they sputtered out around row 40.

I know, but old habbits are hard to break. I thought by using Eppy...I might get more response. Like I say, old habits, etc. And, I stay confused most of the time just ask drex, SUMG, Quoner, etc., etc.

KRAM, that is great, but his name is Scrappy.

Apparently our football coach, his family, all of the administration including Lee Jackson, and about 200 others have 45 MGC points. The stadium should get built without issue.

Only one answer, more and more tax money to this "drug war" that we are clearly winning. Legalizing weed and trying to stop real drugs is the only logical choice. I also don't understand why we have given billions to Mexico's leaders when they are some of the most corrupt individuals in the world. I guarantee you most if not all of that money is funding, or helping the cartel kingpins. It's 2010 people, let's take a note from California's book and move to legalize it, they will be voting in November to do this and I hope it passes and the drug warriors don't pull the "save the children" crap again. Taxing it and selling it to people over 21 will keep it away from children. You think drug dealers ID kids? Hell no. Over 50% of people want to see this happen and it's all just a matter of time before it's no longer taboo and the older generation who were subject to seeing refer madness get some sanity of their own and just get with the times. Marijuana is the cartels main cash cow and no one would smoke dirt mexiweed is it was legal and grown in the states and that's the truth. I just have never understood how it's okay for a man to come home from a hard days work and drink 6 beers each night and tear his liver in half as opposed to smoking a bowl and going to sleep with virtually no ill effects...

Just great. I read this thread, look at my SI and what do I see? A player from the OTHER Kansas team resting his nuts on us! I kid. I kid.

The coaching renewal is what prevents me from buying tickets.

Truth hurting you? Why cant he voice his opinion?

Another reason to hate Todd Dodge? I'll take it. But not Rodge.

So did everyone on the ESPN staff.. Congrats

And that's a $1.9 Million budget basketball program downing a $6 Million program. Nice win. It just stuns me when I see these poorer budgeted programs getting it done, Cornell being the most amazing to me, considering they only spend a paltry $925,269 on their men's basketball team. Rick

With the price of oil on the continual rise of over $80 per barrel why does the U.S. Congress lay dormant in drilling so that we can become energy independent? http://washingtontimes.com/news/2010/mar/18/obama-surrenders-gulf-oil-to-moscow/ http://www.adn.com/2008/06/12/434045/china-drilling-for-oil-off-florida.html With the restrictions placed on our oil and gas companies we have become the slaves to those countries that have the readied supplies to sell at their price. Case in point. Look at the E.U. who is dependent upon the Russian reserves in their country. Look how much we are dependent upon other countries. The United States has plenty of reserves that we can get at now and help drive down the price of oil if we pump it like a prostitue. At the same time we can always explore alternative fuels that will make us independent in the future. However, the future is now....pump it.

Hey, check out the front cover of the latest issue of Sports Illustrated! In the right hand bottom corner is none other than the Mean green's one and only EPPY! SI has six different covers for this edition. Our area gets Kansas' Sherman Collins, but the BEST part is seeing Eppy. If for no other reason that to see the great Eppy, you should check out this issue! Way to go Mean green...great PR from getting to the big dance. Even with the loss yesterday, I think the Mean Green nation as a whole can be very very proud of this team, the effort they made and the great results. It looks great for another trip next season to the NCAA Tournament. Check out Eppy on the cover of SI!!!!!! GO MEAN GREEN!
