Re: 13 straight
Yup. Leads right to the new phogushers arena.
I'd rather they change Mass St to Bill Self Pkwy than changing Naismith Dr....and I think we all know Naismith Dr and Naismith Court are not going to be changed for Bill Self. He deserves a lot. Maybe a statue out front.
Re: 13 straight
Maybe a street at Alvamar.

Re: 13 straight
Maybe rename the part of Naismith that hooks left at AFH and goes up the hill past the music and engineering schools. Then AFH would be at the corner of Naismith and Self, as many want, but a more significant road than Irving Hill.IllinoisJayhawk wrote: ↑Tue Nov 27, 2018 7:51 pmYup.

Re: 13 straight
a street on campus is one thing
the city isn't going to change anything, particularly not Mass
i could see zen's idea having legs...Bill Self Way or Bill Self Drive. there is also Schwegler Dr. that runs on the south side of the Fieldhouse, east to the student rec center

On this day in 1939, James Naismith passed away from cerebral hemorrhage at the age of 78. Buried in Memorial Park Cemetary in LFK.
I am, I said.

Re: 13 straight
Speaking of 13, buried deep in an article about a recruit in the KC Star there’s mention that KU now has a record 13 straight regular season wins against AP top ten teams, going back to 2014. Duke is second place with having had 7 straight a few years back.

Re: 13 straight
If you don’t remember Irving Hill Rd, it’s that curved street leading uphill from AFH to the dorms. Perfect for the purpose.
