A first place KSU team on ESPN Big Monday pitted against our former coach. and there are open seats everywhere.

Was Clint Eastwood in town doing a review of "Rawhide, The Early Years" at The Flint Hills Museum?

KSU takes Manhattan for granted and has for quite a few years.  I present last night as a point of evidence.

John Currie seriously should investigate a NFL rule where Cox Cable in Riley County blacks out KSU events that are not sold out.

PG- Please elaborate on your definition of "Binding Strings" and please provide examples of how those $millions$ in State Tax, Federal Tax, and Ahearn Donations pumped into the Manhattan economy take you for granted.

Are you sure you were there? I went to the game and the only sections that weren't close to being filled were the STUDENT sections. Your disrespect of Riley County and Manhattan is growing old.

Halftime was a) kid shooting a free throw b) Classy Cats and "guests" doing a nice routine, c) Students playing the remove the mat game, and d) little ones dunking.  Coach Snyder did not attend.  Representative Yoder was down on the north end.  Danny Klinkscale, 810, was walking around the Press section.

Look at Sections 18 and the south end.  There were lots of open seats.

If it is getting old, step and do something.  Like support our University.

Wow, you sure are a super fan huh? I'm guessing you donate millions of dollars and attend every single KSU sporting event.

Are people not showing up because Martin's clown antics aren't here to amuse us anymore? What will it take to get the people to show up next year- a conference title? A Final Four? Seeing rows of empty seats on national TV is not only embarassing as a fan, but also has to be a blow to the interest of recruits- if we ever start to get interest from more top 100 players, do you think they are going to want to play at K-State, where their smaller arena is only 80% full, or Kansas, where their much bigger arena is always 100% full? So irritating every time I watch a game.
