It's time to dump the "family" thing
« on: January 22, 2015, 11:24:42 AM »
It's awful. When I think of family I think of a bunch of people who hate each other and eat dinner together.

When recruiting kids, families eat this kind of crap up. It can't happen, Winters. It just can't!

This is quite fair. I've just been told a couple stories in which players (maybe somewhat highly touted recruits) felt disconnected to the "family" and didn't think k-state truly understood what that meant. This is probably just a rare occurrence. I'm also just a weirdo who doesn't like it anyway because it's cliche'. Go Cats, tho!

We are a goodbuddy family until the end  :cool:

It's cliche and cheesy, no doubt. Personally, I tire of it, but what wacky says is true. It's also not terrible branding, but rather terrific. Though some of us may not like it, and those outside K-State may guffaw at it, none of that really matters. Most people associated with K-State love the message and folksy nature of it.

@winters, I'd like to hear more about people not feeling the family vibe.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

If you want to dump it, you've gotta suggest a replacement.

Would you rather have athletes playing for your alma matter who want to eat the faces of their opponents or athletes who call their mom every night to have a bedtime story read to them?

i agree with The King.

family

gang

family is pussy crap.  anyone can join a family, but i bet maybe 2 people from this bbs board could withstand a gang initiation.  plus, gangs look out for each other and you're in a gang for life.  there is no way out.  and, i doubt many families could put a beat down on a gang.
