Chief won’t be attending the basketball theatrics but may be attending the concert - standby????

So casual

Kansas just announced Snoop Dog for their first night. Is this better or worse than T-Pain? I have heard of Snoop Dog and he was great in Starsky and Hutch.

 

[Chief00]

You notice with KU their Adidas ties are so integrated that Adidas graphic is in video.

I think I saw Snoops 10week old grand son passed away he may need to remove himSelf.

Our recruits were 4 years old when T Pain was popular. Who gives a about First Night, besides how it relates to recruiting. I'm happy to hear that T Pain makes 33 year old white guy nostalgic about college.

Yep, who cares? Snoop is doing the Kansas First Night, he came out with Deep Cover 27 years ago and it's a million times better than any of the s*** these guys are listening to.

Funny thing, T Pain is doing Marquette's version of this too. His agent/promoter must have reached out to someone to do this sort of thing.

Saw that too, very sad.

Cheerleaders pole dancing?

Seriously?

Hey they already got caught paying players, they might as well go all the way down the dark path.

Memphis had Future, Lil Baby, and Moneybagg yo at their first night. Don't tell me we couldn't do better.

KU Sports

Despite what you might have seen in a promotional video earlier this year involving KU’s Les Miles and rapper Rick Ross, scheduling a world-famous musician for an event at KU is not as easy as a head coach simply picking up the phone. And when you consider that Snoop Dogg, the headliner for...

>>Credit KU’s apparel partner, Adidas, for doing a lot of the heavy lifting. Snoop Dogg is a part of the Adidas entertainment family, and those ties certainly helped KU bring him to Lawrence for Late Night.<<

>>Geren said the money to pay for Snoop’s appearance comes from a clause in the contract between Kansas Athletics Inc. and Adidas that sets aside $1,100,000 annually for a “Marketing Fund” that covers “mutually agreed upon activations, including, but not limited to, the University/Adidas internship program, events, adidas signage and adidas strategic brand initiatives.”

Geren said Snoop’s asking price, which he did not know, was negotiated between Adidas and the rapper’s representatives. According to bookingentertainment.com, a booking and event coordination service that also provides estimates of how much it costs to book many popular entertainers, Snoop Dogg typically requests a fee of $150,000 or less for performances like Late Night.

Yo. Snoop was on repeat in my day at Storrs. Doggystyle still rocks today! And, after hearing Snoop was doing this I immediately hit YouTube up for some of his beats. G's up Hoe's down baby!!!

Oh, and T-Who??

 

[krinklecut]

It's so absurd that we're such big fans of this amateur sports team and we think so little of the players that when we think about them making one of, if not the, biggest decisions of their lives, they're considering who played the free concert at a public practice. You guys act like these kids are so stupid and so lacking in agency that they're going to be swayed by a shiny red ball that has nothing to do with their education or basketball.

Probably more likely those are dancers associated with Snoop that are wearing KU gear.

But.......if anyone threw some dollar bills at the dancers we certainly appreciate the support and will use the money for recruiting.
