Well they did it to me first so it’s only right I can do it too. Two wrongs = right.

you have nothing good to say about this message board. there's others out there which i'm sure would welcome you with open arms.  go forth and spread the good word of emaw.

I've lurked and seldom posted since KSUfans days of yore. I'm trying to pick up the pace and contribute more as I see the board dwindle. The humor here intimidated me for a long time, but idgaf anymore if people don't like how I post.

Idk if it will ever be what it was, even if the football team is great again. I think that's ok. It's an older format of discussion but there is still a community here. I'd really hate to see it go.

I don't post much, I really love goEMAW though.  Lately, I have felt it has taken a dive because all of the threads get clogged up with a few posters spilling their dark brown poster crap. 

I used to love this time of the year, I'd read good things and analysis on ge and indulge my guilty pleasures of reading threads on the Phog, and then reading them after their first loss and subsequent meltdown ( I cannot and won't help it, it is better than any drug I've put into my body). 

Lately, this site has gotten closer to being Phog status, as far as the posting quality goes, and there are a few people to blame.  It usually starts with a decent find/question, and then gets bogged down with dipshits. 

I'll be here to the bitter end.  I started as a poster that was PI'd to oblivion because I didn't understand this board.  I regrouped, renamed and started again.  Several people, (god bless the King), reached out to me and encouraged me to stay on after I made a few posts.  It made me a better fan, and for that, I cannot give it up.  Now everytime someone new comes along, Greg excluded, everyone pounces into them because they get an accomplished feeling?  I never tried GPC first because I didn't want to see a whole lot of "omg did you see those boobies" bullshit. So I guess that is the reason I have not ventured over to KSO. 

Goddammit people, the more I write, the more I get pissed.  Remember all the great things this board has done? (insert member berries) Why can't we go back to that?  I want more bbs national champs, I want more stolen phrases and mottos that the Athletic Department will use but I can still be all snobby and say that it started at goEMAW.  I want more Ron Prince Love Sweepstakes.  I want more.

I will do whatever is needed by me to keep this going.  Stop being rough ridin' idiots.

I refuse to venture into wackys world. I can’t even imagine the amounts of stress it would bring me from poor grammar and spelling alone.

A thread wondering why goEMAW is dead is hijacked by fanning.

30-something year old dudes attacking college students is peak goEMAW.

Really impressed with Wacky’s zeal lately.
What do you think was happening when I first joined this blog?

That'd be fine if you didn't literally spend five years bitching about Trim, including more than once in this very thread. This may be the most hypocritical thing I've ever seen.

The single biggest factor is oscar Weber.  When basketball died, for me, so much of my interest in anything KSU-related died.  Then, there's inevitability of Sean, President and AD nonsense, and red neck fans. 

Within 5 years from now, I doubt I even notice a given "sports" season.

1. Posters are generally older now as a whole.

2. Convos are happening on Twitter instead, as mentioned. Super rough ridin' lame.

3. The football program is boring as hell and has been since Sams left, as someone mentioned. Snyder's milquetoast brand and game management is so unfun to talk about, and Sean is going to be more of the same. We need a coach search to liven this place up; a REAL one, not a dog and pony show so we can end up with Sean anyway.

4. Currie's gone. The Mustang is incredibly milquetoast as well. I hated Currie for what he did to Frank, but having a clear villain in your own #Family makes for great bbs'n.

5. Frank left and we got oscar. Even when we made the Elite Eight last year and equaled Frank's greatest feat at K-State, there is not one person here who thought that last year's season or tourney run was anywhere near as fun as the one in March 2010. I can almost guarantee it. (The most recent post on the basketball board is one I made in the Huggs/Holly Rowe thread and that was like five full days ago.)

6. Wacky hijacks a lot of threads out of nowhere and they're just not fun to read. (Bro, we got you your own board! Or just do it through PMs!)

7. MS Paint died, so CanCo can't really find his muse.

8. The Pit is crankin and siphoning BBS time because our current political climate is completely insane and people feel compelled to get things off their chest down there.


That's why the sports talk is suffering on gE.c.
