Are we the classiest fan base in the state?

Curdog is turning our home into the Octagon of Dud.  We want to have fun not act like prissy prudes.

Parkins & C.Dot just said oscar had the players practice a mock court storming drill prior to the OU game. Missed opportunity! But oscar will be on The Drive tomorrow to explain, hopefully.

I mentioned this in post game.  They practiced running to the students post game (coaches to shake hands) in order to keep students off the court.  The comment went on in a magical oscar-amble about how it's a shame we can't storm the court anymore and maybe they will allow it for a game down the road.  And then concluded with a I'll probably get in trouble for that type comment.

Who is asking at question at 10:20?  He sounds like he is being choked to death.

on ESPNU this morning the guy (don't remember his name) said that we have one of the best atmospheres in all of college sports, not just basketball. also said our fans are the possibly the most knowledgeable about the game.

Top notch reporting, IMO.

But, but, KU invented the game, and their fans tell everyone that they are the most knowledgeable and classy fans in the country.  How do I reconcile these conflicting claims?

[joda]

Well we know we're more so than WSU. Dropping sex signs on live tv

Need a comparo to MCC though. What about someone like Bethel? Kansas Weslyan?

[Dugout DickStone]

Is WSU even a thing anymore?

I pulled that from his interview with Why@ right after the game on the radio.  I was surprised he mentioned wanting it back.

The Best Fans in America Showcase K-State Class
Like our parents always said, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and after the Ole Miss win last Saturday, I received the following email from an Ole Miss fan living in Kansas who experienced K-State for the first time:

“I would like to tell you how impressed I was with the crowd and atmosphere at Saturday's basketball game against Ole Miss. I am a life-long Ole Miss fan and was fortunate to be able to bring my son with me to go to his first "Ole Miss game." The second we walked in we were welcomed with: "Welcome to K-State", "Enjoy Manhattan", "Good luck", "Enjoy the game" among many other positive welcomings. Of course there was some good-natured ribbing and the occasional joke of asking my son if he would prefer to wear purple so he could fit in, but not once was there any negative comments or slurs made towards us or the Ole Miss team by the students, fans and alumni. It was a wonderful experience and I know that I will come back for another game with the impact the people had on me and I know the impact was felt by my son. Thank you and your K-State family.”

It is uniquely K-State that the same fans that make the Octagon of Doom one of the loudest and most intimidating atmospheres in all of college basketball also create a respectful environment each and every week!

good grief

I'm not sure, but I can tell you what's not classy. A school demanding that everyone #WatchUS. You know what, guys, maybe I don't want to! 

[Dugout DickStone]

jeez America, get off our nuts.

[star seed 7]

Whenever I see an opposing teams fans at a sporting event, I shake their hand and give them $20 apiece. I just know they probably need that money more than I do and they always tell me how classy it is. Just the Kstate way imho

[CNS]

Nobody GAF what that guy thinks.  Ppl that write email or letters to home teams after attending a game are the absolute worst.  The arrogance. 

[The Big Train]

That email pissed me off

Someone should 'shop the human green wall to this pic that kept me from storming this past Saturday.

We may miss an opportunity here to get all of our goals achieved...

Currie does not want students storming the court after big wins.

Next big win (KU?) students storm the court, maybe even chickenwings one of the lollygagging KU players.

Currie runs out from his lair and tries to force choke students who collectively point to oscar's comments about wanting to get court storming back.

Currie force chokes oscar.

We get a new coach.

Unfortunately, it would appear that Currie would get to name a new oscar Weber, so I haven't got all the wrinkles ironed out yet.

[420seriouscat69]

FWIW, KU is not a very big win anymore. I'd rank it up there with that UNLV preseason win we had with Frank. KU just doesn't have the "it" factor anymore.
