Vox clamantis in deserto

…[S]everal Fort Hays freshmen are currently living in a Motel 6 across town from campus because… there isn’t enough dorm space to house them. The problem isn’t fixed, and students stuck at the motel have to shuttle to and from classes and on-campus events.

People are instead worried about wasting time bidding on an autographed copy of Jordy Nelson’s autobiography to further contribute to this stupidity.

Again, I wonder if Hays knows how lucky it is to have Fort Hays State University. If it did, its citizens would be more worried about providing better student life and academic quality than donating money to an athletic program that rarely accomplishes anything.

… Apparently, a current weight-lifting room, a wrestling room, a track and two gyms isn’t adequate to house a football team that hasn’t won a state championship in decades. Their prestigious history of never winning anything must demand more.

Excellent writing from Josh Dreiling of Fort Hays State University.

  1. Dave Stone Says:

    On the bright side, Hays isn’t that big, so the crosstown shuttle won’t take long. Plus no common bathrooms.

    The weird thing is that Jordy Nelson, whose autobiography is in such demand, isn’t from Hays and didn’t play at Fort Hays. He grew up about ten miles from and played at Kansas State University.

    The weirder thing is that the Fort Hays football team is better known for having four football players kill a guy in a drunken brawl.
