Even though I’m a KU person, I have no argument or grumble with K-State. It’s a fine school. But that shade of purple is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I don’t know why.
You can’t swing a cat (wild or otherwise) in Manhattan without hitting something purple.
Die-hard K-State sports fans claim to have purple blood.
Larry graduated from K-State, but he doesn’t like that purple either. I’m rather a fan of outlandish colors though.
