Man, even their actual media people can't resist working Weatherwax into anything remotely ISU related.
I think it was last year the night of the game in Ames and the TV station we watched in Wichita mentioned "Self was accosted" and showed video of the crying son. We never watched the sports again down there.
Why wouldn't she? She said she loves being around basketball in general and perhaps wants her career to be basketball related. Working in any college basketball front office has to be a huge opportunity for any freshman with those kind of aspirations.
It being KU it is a little bit. If it was say Texas even, I couldn't care less. Since it is KU it stings a bit.
Because of people like that I have no problem understanding why Paige and Fred might decide it would be better for her to go to a school other than Iowa State.
exactly, pretty hard to be just another student.
If she wants to cheer for KU, have no problem with it. College is supposed be fun, scrutinizing what team you are cheering for is stupid.
She probably cannot go to Allen when ISU plays there because she might have a KU shirt on, and some in the twitter verse would rip her a new one if she did.
Whatever. I personally have no issue with the article and while I wish Paige was at ISU with the rest of us, I fully understand her wanting something different. I'll maybe have to deal with that myself some day with my current 1 year old daughter. While I'd love her to choose ISU, I'm going to leave that choice to her. Truthfully, my biggest fear is what I would say if she wanted to go to the chicken-hawks of the East. On that one, there might just be a firm "No way". Hopefully she will just know better than that anyway at that point ;-).
I think there was some low income properties North of the power plant wasn't there? Tripp St had some at one point.
Based on my dad's stories at ISU, I thought maybe I did. However, turns out I didn't and that my dad just likes to tell tall tales.... haha... just kidding dad if you happen to read this.
Why do you even care where she goes to school? It's not like she's playing any sports where she would actually be competing against ISU. She's just a regular student. smh.
EDIT...nevermind, I think you're referring to your own daughter and not Paige. Definite derp on my part. lol

this isn't the point but until history shows a coach will stay more than 5 years, I'm not sure why we should believe it. Since Orr we've had 6 coaches in 21 years. We won't be an elite program unless someone will stay. If Fred wouldn't stay no one will stay.
And bed that's fine, but it means people like you will have to accept the down year that will happen every 2-4 years. Don't ***** about us sucking next year.
Maybe I should have put it out there differently....she, obviously, is higher profile at KU as it is...being here would be even higher...and may be awkward for the new staff (or her).
And, with her aspirations, she definitely will always have several more ops than the average person will get in terms of access to jobs (what other kids gets to tour KU basketball on their campus visit, etc).
I am happy for her and for their family...Paige's life will always be much different than any of us would ever experience and their family seems to handle it all with grace and fun.
