So what do you think of this -- The Allen-Self Center
Hmmm, better make that The Allen-Self Arena or maybe better yet keep it simple --
Allen-Self Fieldhouse
(although technically the ol' barn hasn't been a fieldhouse in decades, but let's take a stand for lineage and tradition!).
With a statue of Bill to complement the statue of Phog, of course.
Hmmm, maybe the pun possibilities would be worth the first name?
Nah, I can't see the KU admin going for it.
Shoot, they wouldn't even pitch in to help get The Rules home, why should we think that their successors will be any less anal retentive?
Note well -- either way, as long as Allen is in the name, it will be called The Phog.
And (imagine Andy Rooney voice here) don't you just hate springing forward every year?
