    as long as we're better than memorial stadium in lawrence i'll be content. and the fact that we have working sewer pipes proves we are better.

    If ISU spent anywhere near $420 million on a stadium, I'd throw up in my mouth. I can't believe colleges are spending this much money on buildings that are used 7-8 days a year.

    Full Disclosure: I'm in favor of the SEZ.

    In fact its been pretty clear that this SEZ will be done right or not at all. Pollard and Leath both see that end of JTS as part of the gateway to ISU, and if this project is going to be done that it is going to be done right with that in mind.

    Yep, the basketball practice facility was and still is a total embarrassment
