Yeah, a green face for sprawl...

Nothing special but certainly nothing horrible.  Perhaps they'll "engineer" the columns to handle another highrise tower to the left of this one pictured...and take 10 plus years to complete it.

He was talking about dominating KU and MU for 2 decades. Nice reading comprehension. Really? We've been dominated by Oklahoma State, Iowa State, etc.? That's news to me. K-State was ranked #1 for 4 weeks in 1998. He was talking about dominating KU and MU for 2 decades. Nice reading comprehension. R...

God, you're a moron.  Seriously man, I feel dumb even responding to your disgustingly biased an misinformed post.   First of all, from the period between 1997 - 2003, K-State was pre-season ranked top-10 every year, went to two BCS bowl games, Three Big XII Championships, Won a Conference Champions...

Maybe I'm missing something in this whole debate.  For as long as I can remember, KSU haters have been bitching that we never schedule anybody good.  Now, the KSU haters have changed their tune and are bitching that we aren't good enough to be scheduling top 10 teams.  Wtf? You're missing a hell of...

And Auburn isn't the same quality opponent of USC. As much as this can be predicted, I'd say that USC is equally better than NU as Auburn is better than K-State No, disagreed.  Auburn is probably a legit top 10 team and USC may be a legit top 5.  NU is a legit top 25 but KSU is wildly unpredictable...

If we are going to build an aquarium, we should go ahead and do it right.  Most major aquariums are over 100,000 sq ft.  Lets build one that compares to the ones in other markets.  I say this because we have been to many aquariums and they really need to be a true destination for them to work long ...

That's about the way I'd put it but in addition to that, NU has not fallen off to the magnitude that KSU has recently.

NU is playing USC this year...good idea?  OSU playing Georgia?  OU scheduled Alabama in 2002, @ Alabama in 03. UT schedule Arkansas in 2003, Ohio St last year and 2005. Not comparing KSU to those programs obviously...just answering your question. NU v USC?  Good idea.  OSU playing Georgia, bad.  My...

OU has a marquee non-con matchup every year. In the next decade, those opponents will include Miami, Florida State, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Ohio State, and LSU. Who are some of the premium match-ups Texas and OU scheduled in non-con the past decade or so?  I only remember a true premium match-up onc...

Thanks for your concern.  You lost me when you tried to say UT athletes aren't equal to Auburn.  Come on.  This is all about being a hater. First off, go back and re-read my post that you so elloquently misquoted.  I never said that UT's or OU's athletes were not equal to Auburn's.  I simply said t...

Braindead response.  If you ever played athletics beyond 5th grade soccer, I'd be shocked. 

There is obviously different lines of thinking when it comes to scheduling.  I prefer that they would schedule somebody like this every so often, with at least one quality (Oregon St. for example) game per year...arguing what Snyder did is beating a dead horse....with the teams KSU has to play in t...

I know, thanks for noticing the error...

Well game week is finally here.....tune up games for most of the Big 12, a tough, tough one for the Wildcats at Auburn.  OSU at Georgia could be a real good game. KSU scheduling Auburn is braindead, should've been done in the late '90's after years of consistency, not now when they are trying to re...
