MANHATTAN, Kan., - Kansas State University apologized for a marching band routine that some complained looked like male genitalia assaulting the University of Kansas mascot.
University officials said the formation during halftime of Saturday's season opener against South Dakota was supposed to depict the Starship Enterprise from Star Trek engaged in battle with the University of Kansas Jayhawk, but some social media users complained the Enterprise shape looked more like a set of male genitals.
"We apologize for anyone offended by our halftime performance depicting the starship enterprise and the Jayhawk mascot," a message on the marching band's official Twitter account reads.
Kansas State president Kirk Shultz tweeted he was "sorry if anyone was offended by the performance at half-time."
Frank Tracz, the school's marching band director, posted a chart online showing how the formation was supposed to look.
"The chart below represents the drill from tonights show. There was absolutely no intent to display anything other...
If that is a phallus, I hope the band director was not using himself as a model...
Not even viagra could not puff that up...
The video doesn’t quite fit the plan provided in your post. Perhaps some enterprising members of the band decided the formation would be better if it represented a Wildcat Willie.
(The local rock station has a spot about covering K-State sports that proclaims “We’ve got your Willie covered. [long pause] Willie Wildcat! you pervert!”)
I have no idea why you sent me a drawing of a grasshopper leg, but thank-you anyway.
Napoleons retreat from Russia
You sick twisted ........
HEY! I said Enterprise, not Voyager!!!
By golly.....you’re right.
There it is as plain as the nose on my face.
Napoleon’s retreat from Russia.
Coordinated with the temperature at the time.
Kind of looks like the Enterprise, too.
Some complained....I wonder how many ‘some’ was?
I thought I could see the Jayhawk; but the other thing looked like a Sci-Fi battle starship...if it looked like anything.
Some people just don’t have any important stuff to think about...

That was so sexy.
KU and its’ fans are easily butthurt.
Was that a “Jayhawk?”
It looked more like a duck.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA
“KU and its fans are easily butthurt.”
They sure are! Many years ago some other Wildcats threw some chickens we had dyed red and blue onto the court at Allen field house and they acted the same way.
Rock chalk ....
He’sa true d*ck from every other angle too.
I recall the Stanford band when the University was hosting USC - the TROJANS - the Band assembled into a penis and a vulva.
In and out
In and out
In and out
Then a fire extinguisher was fired off.
The crowd went wild!
Of course this was when Reagan was president and we had a sense of humor.
Horse hockey. There is nothing nasty about it. Stop with all the apologizing over NOTHING.
