Didn't that all start when you started crowing about a national championship banner being hung for track and field?

• The lengths of the 100m, 110m, and 200m events had to be within 0.010m of the proposed distance

• The lengths of the 400m had to be within 0.030m of the proposed distance

• Elevations and lengths for the report were measured to the nearest millimeter

Good luck getting anything that straight to come out of Columbia, MO.

Congrats to the people at KU for successfully learning how to use a tape measure

To be fair, they also did a good job with a level.

Oregon better watch it. I want the "Tracktown USA" title.

And if any of you haven't been following the construction stories coming out of Lawrence, boy they're hilarious.* First off the entire KU Athletics and KU Endowment Association portions of the construction were issued on no bid contracts to a local real estate/construction magnate.* There have been multiple articles in the paper here stating that the work that this contractor has done is not up to code, specifically the concrete being too thin in places.

So fast forward to today while out on site my guide tells me that there are places in the concrete for the stands that are so thin that you can literally punch through them with your bare hand.* To my untrained eye it looked as if the structure is already under considerable strain, and they haven't even finished construction yet.

This thing could literally fall apart and kill someone if/when it ever gets filled to capacity

In fairness I stole that off a bb and it didn't have a link. So if it came from GoPowertard, KSU's scout bb, it's dubious.

What is the link to this accusation and who is making it? This needs to be reported to the proper authorities so the claims can be investigated or if false claims are being made the appropriate person can be prosecuted.

Great, so now we can prosecute you every time you make false claims regarding Mizzou?
