Kansas vs Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia

[Saulbadguy]

On WIBW 7:00 pm, and on 38 in KCMO IIRC. For those who can't watch it, i'm recording it, and i'll try to post some highlights.

Kansas State Teachers College of EmporiaWth?

[Saulbadguy]

Wth?
Emporia State University. It was called that back in the day.

Emporia State University. It was called that back in the day.Ah... ok. Had me goin' for a minute there...

[Saulbadguy]

Interesting tidbit: Leon Lett played his college ball at Emporia State University.

No it wasn't. It was Kansas State Teachers College. College of Emporia was a small college there in Emporia. Two separate schools. I'll take KU and give you 5 points. Okay, 25 points.

They must have merged, or something. Both of my parents went to ESU, and they told me that when they went there it was KSTC, but now ESU. :shrug:

As a Washburn student, i'm contractually obligated to dislike ESU. I wouldn't take the 25 points, either.

No merger I ever heard about. C of E just went under. How about 35 points?

Ah..then my statement was true then, right? KSTC changed to Emporia State?

35 points might be more realistic. ESU is a middle of the pack MIAA team. Washburn should be a closer game, but not by much.

Aaah, finally I can direct my attention to a worthwhile team.

Suddenly I feel so much less... weight.

KSTC is correct. I'm pretty sure Pitt State had the same name. KU plays these games as a favor to ESU and others. ESU is guaranteed $20,000 for this game. They got $7500 and hotel rooms from Gonzaga and $10,000 from Wichita State.

This much I know. Its an exhibition. :ksu: plays Pitt State on thursday.

Actually, if you want to go back further, ESU used to be called Kansas State Normal.

[Saulbadguy]

Simien, Miles, Lee, Moody, and Langford start for the Hawks.

Free hotdog and a small coke from the concession stand.

I spent two of the drunkest/stoned/substance abused years of my life there in the Pre-Engineering program! :)

Halftime

You were close, Skip.

[Saulbadguy]

Final score 115-70.

[Skip Towne]

Wow, we hung on for the win.

Some beads, a few trinkets, 60 Guilders...

When that doesn't work we usually just give them a "W"
