I’d like to apply for the head trainer position…

Call me lame, but my wife has never had to wear a helmet to bed.

Next up: @MoValley John: dives in with a "what about knee pads?" comment.

Sales tax is the most fair tax there is, as long as it applies to absolutely everything. This would be a municipal stadium, what other uses would the city have for it, other than leasing it to WSU for football?

Not to get "political", but, even if it was somehow "the most fair tax", it would still be a tax for something most, including me, don't want to pay a tax to have. ( I suspect)

I can get behind this.

I know I would get behind them.

Make that a 2% sales tax.

You know what, the folks in Lawrence are very liberal. They espouse socialist virtues and want equity across the board. How fair is it that WSU doesn't have football, but they do? I think they need to give some of that obscene state funding they suck on like a vacuum, to rev up our program. Isn't that how socialism works?

Or maybe it's time we just split the state funding in three equal shares, according to their philosophy?

Perhaps the new stadium could double as a campus safe place.

Have you ever seen the movie, "Two Minute Warning"?

Say what you will about the Valley -- and I've said my share, most of it less than positive -- but I'm just glad, after looking at New Mexico State's WAC schedule in the wake of the basketball team's weather problems, that WSU is in the Valley and not the WAC.

We got that underwear football in Omaha, I've never been to a game, don't want to, don't care.

I like my football to be about football,I want my food to be about food, and my nudie bars to be about nudie bars. You mix too many chicken wings with strippers AND football, somebody's gonna choke on something.

Tryouts for the upcoming season will be held on Jan. 9th at the Ralston Arena. If you know a hot chick that wants to play indoor football, send her up.

Why wear them? I had them built in to the floor at the foot of the bed.

Fair point. Just remember what benefits WSU benefits the City of Wichita. If football allows WSU to upgrade conference affiliation then it will benefit WSU academically. If it allows the Innovation Campus to grow more that will result in more economic growth for the region perhaps giving that single mother better employment opportunities. Also increased enrollment by traditional college students at WSU provides economic benefit to the community.

If @ShockTalk: is right and it doesn't take the full 1% for 5 years I think it would be beneficial to still keep it the full 5 years and invest the surplus directly into the Innovation Campus providing more economic benefit for the community.

With this reasoning why not throw on another 1/2% for USD 259, they don't ever have enough money.

Who can trust the BoE after the last bond passed and the board did not spend it entirely in the manner in which they marketed the campaign. No new additional NE High, SE, etc...? Instead they build magnet schools?
I'm for education, but they screwed the pooch and seem like duplicitous bad politicians.

No, I don't support that at all. But I suppose it's a nice thought.
