The rape of higher education in Kansas continues. And people still wonder why we have a brain drain!

Sanderson still made an egregious mistake that only makes Emporia look worse, given its recent woes. I'd like to hear him own up to it, and to correct it by perhaps rescheduling.

Let's test this logic: so a national retailer has chosen Emporia for a new location. But the economy is bad, so we should say, "Sorry, not here"? Given Emporia's recent economic woes, I cannot believe that a former public servant would say no to more jobs and more economic development.
Lowe's is a wonderful company. My father, who is semi-retired and partially disabled, works part-time for them. He receives a competitive wage and benefits. Yes, benefits for a part-time worker! It seems to me that this is the kind of company we want--no, need--in Emporia. [I say this as a person with no stake in Lowe's. I own no company stock and have no business in their Emporia plans.]
I urge Mr. Maley and those who hold similar opinions to reconsider. This town desperately needs economic investment. Lowe's offers a great foundation to build on. Emporia will have to shun its provinciality if it wants to compete in the 21st century economy. Let's get it started.

I'm surprised that pizza's comment wasn't removed--God forbid somebody criticize Teresa Walters on this website. I'll just say this: her efforts are very hypocritical.

Why doesn't the county demand that George Groh and Sons pay to fix their own botched job? Why do the taxpayers continue to pay for a bad roofing job?

I totally agree that our fans need to step up and give this squad some support. Welch Stadium has been like a ghost town at times.
However, I must say that I've "been patient" with this team since I enrolled at ESU in 1998. I saw Jerry Kill come and reinvigorate the program, only to leave after a short time. I saw Dave Wiemers come in and kill ESU football with some truly bizarre play-calling and overall mediocre football. And I've seen Kent Weiser nickel and dime his way all along. This AD needs to step up, or the administration should find a new AD. Just because we're small town D-II doesn't mean that this is kiddie league. Let's step up to our competition!
Now that I'm an alum, I just want to see this team succeed. We're in a tough conference with some of the best D-II talent in the nation. And we're falling behind. I cannot see why though. We have good boosters, and have some good scholarship dollars, thanks to the late Earl Sauder. I want to see Weiser commit to this program and demand better.
I'm all in for Garin Higgins. I like the new, flashier style. But my patience--ten years and counting--is wearing thin. I'm not expecting championships, but I do expect improvement. I expect a better than 3-8 season in this year's campaign. And I better not see another 62-0 debacle like the PSU game.
Go Hornets!
