It might of been a blow-out, but look at the positive.
1. Kansas State was able to showcase their kickoff return team.
2. Willie the Wildcat made an outstanding tackle in the pregame.
3. Happy Birthday Bill sung by 45,000 people in Purple.
4. It will be the last time we have to put up with those stupid, arrogant, no-class Nubbs with the corn cob hat.
5. It only counts as one lose.
:thumbsup:
You tell me how the hell we have been whiney jerks.
I would like to thank the Wildcat Band of KSU for being courteous and civil to us in the Cornhusker Marching Band. Its nice to know that at least one portion of KSU can practice good sportsmanship.
The student section however should be ashamed, as I had shield the newer members of the band from the spit that was flying at us. All the while hearing insults such as "go back and play WOW" or "Hey fat ass do the truffle shuffle" and even slurs that were directed at female members of the band. I also thought that the booing of our band and the entire student section standing up and facing the opposite direction was very tasteful as well. Then drunken KSU fans had to be talked down by security from harassing CMB members in the stands. Even playing against Missouri I have never encountered such a level of childishness as was present at the game that day, truthfully it felt like being back in high school.
Yes you hate us, and while I know that Nebraska fans arent always good sports, I have never seen a game in recent times where a majority of memorial stadium participated in unsportsmanlike conduct. Not to mention that by 10 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter a large percentage of wildcat fans LEFT. wtf guys?
If memorial stadium acted the way that the wildcats did on thursday I would be ashamed of the fans, and I think that you guys should be too.
I'll be the first to say that not all of Nebraska fans are good to others. I was one of a few that ran a fellow neb fan out of the seats in Arrowhead a few years back when he continued to hassel an OU couple. We all have our bad apples. But thursday night was the student body as a whole. And dont give me the crap about us being good till we lose, thats just plain talking out your ass. I sit every home game quite close to the visitors section, when we lose we're just as good if not better. As far as every stadium, eh, I bet we encounter fine treatment from A&M and Ok state. Kansas St. has always been a nasty place, it has nothing to do with conference realignment. My parents have been attending road games for years with numerous trips to every stadium in the conferences and Columbia and Boulder are two places they will not return to, Manhattan can get just as ugly.
A blast from the past:
We are Kansas State Wildcat fans, and we are classless. How we got this way, is very simple. Since the rise of KSU football to a national power, the "traditional" powers have felt that while KSU may have a "good" team, we are far from establishing ourselves as a team to be reckoned with. In fact, until Kansas State wins a conference title outright (or even God forbid a National Championship), Kansas State fans are nothing more than "classless".
We've been called that more often from our neighbors to the north, the shuckers of Nebraska. Let's face it, Nebraska is a football dynasty. For the last 35 years, Nebraska football has been associated with greatness. But, lately, everyone has been catching up to them. During the Solich era, Nebraska is 1-6 against ranked teams.. on the road. ON THE ROAD! And nothing symbolizes this more than the whoopin' the Colorado Buffaloes put on them in Boulder. It was so harrowing a defeat, that ABC captured the effect on an 11 year old young Nebraska fan. This child, growing up in the shadow of Big Red was BAWLING his eyes out! He was DEVASTATED! An ELEVEN YEAR OLD KID!! And for Nebraska fans, the idea we'd even discuss this concept is, by itself, is CLASSLESS.
Some of us found it amusing. Some of us found it sick. The fact that we didn't have sympathy created a wave of backlash and condemnation from .. well.. only Huskers, that it seemed apparent our point of view could be nothing more than classless. But the cornblowers up north are not the only ones. We have had our dignity tested by Colorado fans, Texas fans, Michigan fans and even fans from Pac-10 schools who, at best, could best be described as "almost contenders" as well as storied Notre Dame fans. Leading the charge of this "classlessness" has been our own PardonedCat, who's questioning of the establishment in terms of College Football traditions and the rise of KSU to be in the mix. In this, he's been called many things, but the label that has stuck the most on him has been "classless".
Well, PardonedCat, the alias of a man who has grown weary of this constant bashing has decided to take the label so heavily bestowed, and is now wearing it high and is proud. So much is his desire to bring to the masses this paradigm of fandom, we've created this site, dedicated to the principles of classlessness. We cannot stand in the light of greatness without offering our own bit of tempering dialogue
to balance the scales of pompousness and tunnel vision. And to those who would think that support of our own Wildcats and our love for our institution and the values that stands with it the pinnacle of loyalty above others, we offer this website as a retreat to the pinnacle of classlessness. And while we're at it, we also offer the ability to play in his pick'em contests. What more could a classless person ask for?
Classiness is allowed, but not encouraged.
The Management.

... cuz I WAS THERE, as well as many many others doing the usual. Maybe the were fewer cuz of the crap that Snyder had pulled that day using 1st teamers to run up the score on a group of walk ons. At least when Osborne "ran up the score" were running dive plays with our walkons and gashing the hell our of everyone else's first teams cuz you/they were not good enuff to stop even that on them days.
you are right, it was K-State and Nebraska in the big 8. Nebraska was all for the revenue sharing agreement when that was the case. When NU started losing the big bucks because their teams weren't as good, suddenly Texas was the evil money grubber. Yes, Texas has a ton of power in the Big 12. Yes, we make less money than they do. But the fact of the matter is that we don't have a national following and we are a small market program. We are much better off with the support of Texas than in trying to go it alone.
The difference here is that We get that. We understand that we are not the power brokers. We're OK with that. We take pride in the fact that we accomplish our success with less than others may have to. On the other hand, Nub fans seem to think they are the center of the universe. Boo Hoo, we don't get as much money as Texas. Sorry buddy, you don't generate as much money as Texas does either. No, you are that kid on the playground who is so used to winning, you think you are entitled to it. When another kid comes along, who is a little bigger, a little faster, and a little more attractive to the girls watching on the sidelines, you pick up the ball and run home whining about how unfair the world is.
You are right, CU is leaving too. Nobody has the venom for them because they left quietly and made no bones about it. What bothered people about the Nebraska situation has nothing to do with football, basketball, or any other athletic venture. It is the petty way you did it. Your school "leaked" so much trash about their superiority to the rest of the big 12 that it really was shameful. Now you expect us to sit back and be happy for you, respect you, applaud you? You were a family member who decided to hitch your wagon to another train and strike it on your own. Yes, we may have left too had a better deal come along and that's fine. We all need some change now and then. But on their out the door, your school crapped on the floor, told the world we deserved it because we aren't your equal, and were shocked when people took offense.
The funniest part of all of this is that as tradition focused as NU and the Big 10 are, both are going to regret this move. The state of Nebraska almost revolted when a stripe was added to the football uniforms in 03. How are they going to feel when those old cozy rivalries they've loved for so long are suddenly over. NU is quickly going to realize they're second fiddle again to Mich and OSU. They are now out of the Texas recruiting links. The foundation of their tradition is over.

So I went and read for a good hour or so on that cute little link you posted, i'm glad you believe that a handful of idiots with a keyboard speak for a whole state.

The bottom line is Nebraska just wanted every member of the conference to have equal say in everything. All the North division schools constantly voted all their power away to Texas because they were too proud to side with Nebraska. Even though Nebraska was the one trying to look out for interests best iterests of those schools.
Call Nebraska fans whiney all you want, but it's a 2-way street. The old Big 8 turned their backs on us years ago, and then seemed shocked when we left.
And no, nobody will regret leaving in a few years when Texas leaves you guys out to dry. And Nebraska will always be able to recruit Texas, just like we've always been able to recruit California and Florida. Most of our success came before we had conference ties with Texas, I don't see how that matters anyway.
