What do you think about Kansas State University trying to brand itself as Kansas State instead of K-State?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on September 26, 2012
“ You can repackage it any way you want, but KU is still better than K-State… in basketball. ”
“ I don’t even know what to say to that. I guess as long as they keep their logo for athletics, but really?”
“ I rarely utter the words K-State because I care so little about the matter.”
“ A rose by any other name is still a rose. Hyphen or no hyphen, they are still an agricultural anti-KU posse.”

Is there still an Aggieville? It seemed that was the only reason I could find to go over there.... oh yeah, also to see Allen Fieldhouse west.

I know someone whose sister branded herself at some pinko commie hippie love fest.
Seems like a cry for help to me.

That's no townie. She's far too attractive. Maybe with another 50 pounds of beer gut/butt and 5 or 6 DUIs she'll be on her way to becoming an actual townie.

"Romney/Ryan bumper stickers use the Trajan font." R_I
Another excellent reason not to vote for them. It is a weenie font. The Jayhawks will never have a winning football program with that Rockette looking dancing chorus line of a 'K' on their helmets.

Now that we've gotten that settled, who wants pancakes?

Sounds like Schulz has friends in the consulting business that needed money.

I am KSU guy. Even given them money.
I think this is stupid.
This is all from President Schulz.
To be clear, Schulz has one purpose in life.
That is to keep Bill Synder happy.

I'm all for it if they can get rid of the EMAW thing at the same time. But I have a feeling that they are overestimating the spelling-out capability of the folks in Manhappining after they wander out of Rusty's on a Saturday night...

It matters not. I won't ever change what people are already engrained with.
Little brother is little brother...always. And they will kick our collectve behinds in football, right BABBOY?

Let's just start saying KSU, which for speed and ease shall be pronounced like "kazoo".

Good luck with that, K-State. I mean, Kansas State.
Wesley Willis 1 year, 6 months ago
Well now that we know they don't like being labeled as K-State, I will make sure to never say Kansas State.
