Because the football/basketball offseason was long, hot, and boring (and this year, WET), I posted a stupid poll or two (or THREE!) every now and again.
5 Key Take-aways from the 2019 Stupid Summer Polls:
1. K-State still loves Eric Stonestreet.
2. The KSO Foundation family has been to a lot of grandparent funerals.
3. Topeka is nearly universally disparaged in Kansas according to this board; however, Dodge City out-punches its weight as a state turd.
4. There is an almost even split between crunchy and soft taco preference on The Foundation (crunchy won 114 to 109).
5. Seinfeld reruns are still very welcomed by the KSO Foundation.
BONUS:
Chick-fil-A was easily voted the favorite national chicken joint over Popeyes by the KSO Foundation, but this was before Popeyes released its now famous chicken sandwich. I wonder if the Popeyes chicken sandwich would have altered the results.
