Being a Football School > Being a Basketball School

[pdub]

Being a storied, elite football school, and growing up with that all around you, might be better than the same for basketball. We know there's more $$ in it, that's for sure. I just don't know -- i've only known bad football ( though i've been to football games at home stadiums where this is the case ).

But simply being a football school isn't automatically better than being a basketball school.
Not when your basketball program can be argued as the greatest of all time.

this conversation is premature. we have a long way to go before we are the kind of football school that is better than our kind of basketball school. long way to go.

I do understand this is a false comparison.

This is kinda where I'm at...

ksu is a football school, despite whatever dumb things tmcats says about a select period of ten years.
i've been to ksu football games. they are fun.
but being ksu ( a football school ) is not better than being KU ( a basketball school ).

ten years? bill snyder arrived in 1988.

And performed at a blistering 46-33-1 in Big 8 play.

tmcats didn’t understand.
i am conceding?? that ksu is currently a football school.

The key is having competitive programs. Bad programs impact everything from media sales to suicide rates.

tmcats trying to see if there are still tickets available for tonights barnburner at ahearn.

here's tmcats son trying to catch all the classic ksu bb games of the 80s.
he only has four games on cassette because that's the highest he can count.
