@DoubleDD I like your optimism. We can all use some optimism about now… in any area. I don’t know why we can’t rebuild our program and become a respectable team and possibly even a powerhouse team? We could be in a worse football conference! The renovation project is needed. It’s necessary to have a chance to compete. Just hiring a good coach won’t do it for our program. And the fans know it. Hard to believe it was just 10 years ago when we were playing in the Orange Bowl and was one loss away from possibly being crowned national champions. There was a lesson in all of that. And fans have good memories. They know that a good situation or two isn’t going to put Kansas on the football map. Actually… we have the opportunity now to do what KSU did years ago. They made their move a long time ago and their program was every bit as run down as ours is now. We actually have the chance that their program declines while ours rises… and there is no reason why we shouldn’t pass up the purple kitties.
