Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Heading to T-Mobile tonight. Might make it in by the 2nd media timeout. Plan to make no noise and be in the bar line for much of it. Rock Chalk!
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
I think it's games like this one that I'd like to cut out of our scheduling.

I think they need to tie the KC game into one of the conference challenges or a home-away-neutral series.
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
I'm fine with KU playing a non-con game at t-mobile, allows KU alum that live in KC that can't drive to Lawrence on a weeknight to see their team in person. I just wish it was a more competitive team they played. KU needs to play a tougher non-con schedule leading up to the Big 12 games.
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
I remember Roi loosing to them in the 2nd round. Not really payback but...
Trust me bro

Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
I think tickets are split 50/50 in the mizzou series, though. Or maybe we get home gate one year and miz gets the other.shindig wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:46 amBut it's so much fun when we beat UK at RuppCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:24 am I think they need to tie the KC game into one of the conference challenges or a home-away-neutral series..

Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Right, I should have been clearer. I'm good with the T-Mobile game. I'm just not wild about the category of opponent it tends to be against.shindig wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 8:34 amI'm fine with KU playing a non-con game at t-mobile, allows KU alum that live in KC that can't drive to Lawrence on a weeknight to see their team in person.

Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
yeah I believe it's a 6 year setup, 2 in Larry, 2 in Columbia and 2 in KC, alternating each year. First game is in Larry.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:05 amI think tickets are split 50/50 in the mizzou series, though.

Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Kansas used to book a little better opponent for the KC game and then everyone complained that KU frequently played flat and lost the game, ruining Date Night.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:08 amRight, I should have been clearer.

Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Yep, agree, a team to get excited about playing. Louisville, Cincy, WSU, etc. A lot of Shocker fans live in KC and would probably make the drive even from Wichita.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:08 amRight, I should have been clearer.

It has everything to do with the home-and-home contract.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:14 amKansas used to book a little better opponent for the KC game and then everyone complained that KU frequently played flat and lost the game, ruining Date Night.jfish26 wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:08 amRight, I should have been clearer.

KU refuses to do a home-and-home series with Sprint Center as part of it. Will only do it if it is a home-away-neutral for KU, with KU of course getting the Sprint Center gate.
For the same reasons, KU refuses to do a buy-game for the game. It's all money.
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Why on earth would Kansas agree to play Wichita State in Kansas City? They aren't having problems selling out the tickets. It's already less than a true home game, why bring in a team that will take 30+% of the tickets?shindig wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:15 amYep, agree, a team to get excited about playing.

Then get creative. Do it Allen/Pauley/T-Mobile/Crypto.com, or similar.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Tue Dec 07, 2021 9:18 amIt has everything to do with the home-and-home contract.

I think the desire is there on our end, as that is basically the mizzou series.
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
Call me a bad fan, but I just can't seem to give a shit about the game tonight having the knowledge that we get to pound Mizzou in Lawrence this weekend.
Ain't no seats
Re: It's Game Day, Ladies and Gentlemen
I give a shit about all their games so I am looking forward to seeing how Pettiford's minutes get redistributed. Hopefully Yesefu can give us more than one really high jump on a dunk attempt and JCL can hit multiple threes.
I'd also like to see some progress from Wilson at both ends of the floor.
Oh random fun fact, UTEP guard Jamal Bienemy, averaging 16ppg, is Chiefs OC Eric Bienemy's nephew.
