I'm probably in the minority, but I'm a fan of the character and personality of some of these noobs--the Uncles, Dark Lord, etc. Kinda livening up the place. Haven't seen obvious troll behavior yet; just talk of farm boys, souls sold, and crew cuts. Harmless fun so far."It's amazing to watch Ron slide into that open area, Fred will find him and it's straight cash homie."--HCGM

I've seen this topic brought up before in a previous thread... Am I alone in thinking CKA is pretty legit?! I love the dim lights, the cement floors around the concessions... As far as I'm concerned, the only thing that needs to be updated are the pictures and trophy cases.
Mark my words-- these AAC schools will complement CKA.

I keep waffling back and forth about football. I don't think getting into the AAC kills the idea, but considering they don't necessarily want us with football, I think it's a setback. To @SHOCKvalue:'s point, CKA is 15 years old (and its frame is over 60), and within the next decade or so we're going to need to start thinking about remodeling/replacing. For the cost of a football program, we could build one of the nicest college facilities in the nation and almost double capacity. And to @Heinro:'s point, doubling down on basketball in light of the current state of concussions and football could be a smart decision. Like I said, though, I keep waffling so I'm just throwing this out there."It's amazing to watch Ron slide into that open area, Fred will find him and it's straight cash homie."--HCGM

Originally posted by UCONN_Husky View PostUpgrading our football to FBS really split our fan-base in terms of whether or not it was a good decision. I guess time will tell...but it's not looking great at the moment. Connecticut is a basketball/hockey/soccer state. In terms of CT adolescent sport popularity, I would rank them as:
1. Basketball
2. Hockey
3. Soccer
--- DROP OFF ---
4. Baseball
5. Football / Lacrosse
I'm not sure how sports rank in Kansas, but if they are similar to Connecticut (football being way down the list), I would advise to really think about it. Do you think it will be advantageous in the long run or could it potentially hurt the marquee programs that you care most about?
Perkins does not seem to have a good history with football.The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.
