Getting back to the original post, Husker fans, not Jayhawks will make this a tough ticket only if KU has run the table and this game is for the North. If not, it simply will be a see of Red not Crimson. And speaking of that Texas game, did they kick everyone out of the stadium the second half?
Nobody has said that KU tickets are harder to come by than Nebraska tickets. My God you have terrible reading comprehension.
Regardless of our season, this game will not be a sea of red. The crowds have been vastly pro-KU the last few times NU has been to Lawrence, with the Red contingent becoming smaller and smaller with each game. Lew is also cutting off single game ticket sales for the NU game so that any visiting NU fans who want to order a ticket ahead of time will have to purchase a package of 3 games which includes the NU game. This will be Senior day.
As for the Texas game, yes some people left early. It happens. EVERYWHERE. We hung with them for 3 quarters, but they pulled away late and some fans exited the stadium. That's never happened in Columbia. If you want to discuss football on this forum, go ahead. If you want to talk sh!t like the hypocritical punk you seem to be you'll be better served going to another board.

How exactly am I being hypocritical? You can define a sellout how you want to but I will define it as not being able to walk up to the ticket window at kickoff and being able to get in the stadium. I have never once been able to go up to the window at an MU/KU game and not been able to get a ticket since the 80's. Why in the world would a team that breaks attendance records against Florida International have to sell NU tickets as a three game package? If every games sells out why would this have to be done? I agree that KU and Mangino have made huge strides since the days of getting 19K for football games (November 2001) but please don't try and make us all believe that Lawrance has all the sudden become a tough place to get a ticket for a football game, any football game.
As far a being a punk, you are the one talking big on the internet so how is Mr. Kettle doing?

1st off, you couldn't walk up and get a ticket to the Texas game. My friend definitely couldn't, he had to get his ticket through other means. You can have all the anecdotal stories you want, but we all know you're full of it.
2nd, the fact that you could walk up and get a ticket to a KU/MU game since the 80s means absolutely nothing. What do the 80s and 90s have to do with the now? What does 2001 have to do with today? Nothing. Things have changed.
3rd, It doesn't matter if we sell out against FIU. Do you know nothing about Nebraska fans? Nebraska fans will buy tickets months ahead of time. Nebraska fans will buy entire season ticket passes just so they can go to an away game. Nebraska fans take everything to a whole different level. No place is a tough place to get a ticket for an NU fan. All we can do is make it a little bit more difficult.

OK, how about last year at Arrowhead? KU did not sell all of their tickets to that game. Guess what? I bought 8 tickets through the KU athletic department. Yes, I know, KU won, nice win, we won the game for #1 the year before. However, such a loyal, selling out, record breaking fan base versus FL International should always sell all the tickets against Mizzou, right, even if the game was on the moon? For some reason you think this is only a KU issue. Hell, Mizzou only had one real sellout last year and anyone could get in if they wanted. My simple point all along is the NE fans will make this a hard ticket not KU's. Is that fact that hard to addmit? KU fans make the MU/KU game in hoops a hard ticket in COMO. Deal with reality not dreams buddy!

So you change the subject by bringing up neutral game site games played on Thanksgiving weekend at an NFL site to prove you know what you are talking about?
And I don't think anyone is arguing that NU fans don't drive the price and availability of tickets to the NU/KU game...we're arguing your oppinion that anyone can walk up and buy tickets to KU games. You are talking to a bunch of KU football ticket holders. We are people who have spent a lot of time looking for little signs (like lack of walk-up tickets) that the team was going in the right direction.
You tell us to deal with reality...but you have offered nothing more than secondary accounts that could not have been true or primary accounts that don't relate to the issue at hand.

K-State had literally over a thousand fans sitting on the hill last year. They probably assumed they were going to walk up on gameday and buy a ticket last year too. The game at Arrowhead means nothing, its a road game and they (the Chiefs/Arrowhead officials) didn't do a good job handling the crowd the previous season.

And once again, KU will not be a sea of red as you imply for the nebraska game. Yes, that was the case several years back, but it wasn't two years ago and it won't be this time. Deal with it!
Posted on 7/22 1:51 PM | IP: Logged
OK, maybe we need to go back to home and home and not Arrowhead so I can see this miraculous transformation for myself. Maybe I will get shutout and I will be forced to watch the game at Jetlag.
Are there plans to enlarge Memorial Stadium with the current demmand for tickets?
Posted on 7/22 4:33 PM | IP: Logged
Yeah. Here is the link to the article about the facility they are building for the KU Track team and the Kansas Relays. This will provide them the opportunity to remove the track from the stadium....and what do you think they will do with that room? I think they will let it sit there rather than sell more seats....thats what I think.
Now go away before you embarass yourself an 8th time.
Man you people are have sensitive feelings. FWIW, we have our own ways to keep the red out of COMO. Not the same way as KU but we still do it, I can admit it. We also do it for the MU/KU game in hoops.

Not really a question of sensitivity. We just are eager to address ignorant posts by ignorant people.
Posted on 7/23 12:03 PM | IP: Logged
Ignorant? Really? I would say more antagonistic but as a Mizzou fan I would expect a lot worse. Maybe I will have to come up for the Duke game and see it for myself. If that game is a sellout and the house is packed at 11AM I will shut up for good.

Again...funny you should bring up the Duke game. When I bought my season tickets last week, I was having trouble finding tickets in a decent section for any of the non-confrence games (AA opener aside). So you might just be looking at quite a sellout for any of those games.
And everyone knows how you keep people out of COMO. Its called being a HUGE A$$HOLE and your state has been practicing that tactic since you were a territory. Put that on your resume and act proud.

Wow! Are we going to start some Civil War talk now. If that is the case the Kansas-Nebraska Act will fit perfectly into this thread. Both states were hell bent turning over the Missouri Compromise. FWIW, both Kansas and Nebraska are now sitting in the area once known as the MISSOURI TERRITORY. I will smoke to that.

No that wasn't civil war talk. Its a 'behaving civil' talk. Both NU fans and KU fans are all too familiar with the behavior of your fan base. And when you put that up against the historical behavior of people from your state, there is a certian level of consistency.
You are well known for being A$$holes. And you don't need to be on the other side of a civil war to learn that. You just need to be paying attention.

Interseting, siding with the Huskers and ganging up on Tiger fans. I have not called anyone names on this thread or slashed any tires, just simply stated my opinion and experiences at Memorial Stadium. If that make me a jerk, so be it.
P.S. The Muck Fizzou shits are great! Keep it classy Kansas.

Do you really want to go there? I've seen a lot of classless shits on the Mizzou side. We can ALL play that game.

"We can ALL play that game."
That was the point I was trying to make after someone called me an a$$hole for expressing my opinion. I love hearing these war stories though.

Rebel, your right most games you should have no problem getting tickets to. But if you want good tickets, you'll need to find a seller on the streets. It's not like it was 5 years ago. This past year Ku sold 98% capacity for the season, which was higher than MU or KSU. Of course, I know NU was higher. I've had season tickets since 1993, and I'm sitting on the 20 yard line.
BTW rebel, you've been good over here and their has never been much class on either side of the KU/Mu rivalry.

If by good you mean teasing us for explaining facts while he uses secondary evidence and 5 year old stories to justify his beliefs in a condisending manner, then yes....he's been wonderful.

He really isn't that bad, he doesn't resort to immaturity, name calling etc. etc. that some of his bretheren have in the past. He hasn't been to a KU game in a few years and didn't want to take the word of a bunch of KU fans, that doesn't make him a bad poster.

Are the internets so uncivil that we take condisention and ridicule as a step in the right direction? As if you can be a good imperial dictator by just not being so 'hitlerly'.
Posted on 7/24 2:28 PM | IP: Logged
Honestly, the Duke game could sell out. I predict attendance to be somewhere between 45,000 and a sellout.

I'd be real suprised if we didn't sell out that game.

OK, like I said, that would shut me up. It will be interesting to see how Mizzou does at the gate this year with so many new players and no expectations, likewise for KU next year.
