We will be there, first stop the legendary Wheel bar in the campus town area midmorning. Who else is going and where are you hanging out?
Roll Call for KU game
- Thread starter ketelmeister
- Start date
I'll be there with a couple buds from central Iowa. This will be my fist time to Lawrence. Definitely looking forward to see come Cyclones on Mass St!
I'm not even sure I will watch the game on TV if the weather is nice. CPR football has become pathetic. The last straw for me was his leaving Sam in until he got hurt in a blow-out,....just plain stupid coaching. Golf in November has a nice ring to it.
Stayed in Lawrence that evening after attending the OSU game in Stillwater. Took the recommendation of the motel desk clerk and ate at a very good steak house in west Lawrence. SIX 6 MILE CHOP HOUSE & SIX 6 MILE TAVERN located at 4931 West 6th Street. check them out @ sixmilechophouse.com. I visited with the manager and their competition is Ruth Crisp's in downtown KC so they have to have the same quality at a slightly lower price. So if you have eaten at Ruth's this is similar quality at the mid to upper $30 range. It was excellent and I highly recommend.
We could have won the OSU game if not for successive screw ups on kick-off teams to end the first half and begin the 2nd half. I was in Lawrence for Sam R's unveiling two years ago and I hope he and the team is not so beat up that they can pull off another win. I predicted a 4 win season this summer and it is still a possibility but this is a must win if that is to happen. I do not think CPR has lost his team yet. They finished strong last year and they may do the same again.
I heard a caller in the post game show last week compare this situation to the Walden years. Not even close. Walden went 0 for whatever his last year and never beat Iowa and his recruiting was abysmal. CPR's problem has been lack of depth and ability to finish off a game. Examples the past two years vs. Texas and this years KSU game. DMac got 10 years and his first 5 were similar and his last 5 were improved. CPR's first 5 have included bowl games and big upsets. I say the next years will be rewarded. WE can not afford to start over.
No need to be dicks.
I know 3 folks going. I am bummed I will be in Alabama and miss the game but have the dvr set.
I'll be there with a few others.
We'll be hitting the Wheel, as well as Louise's West and Rick's Place. The campus bars are better on game day than Mass Street.

The Tailgate Truck will be there. We hope to hit Lot 90 when it opens.
Cyclone Power!
I'll be making the trip down.
In the KU road trip thread Adam says lot 90 is open but due to road construction there won't be a shuttle. It sounds like they are trying for lot 72 which is just north of Allen Fieldhouse
