Title: "I Hate K-State"
Post by: bws on June 27, 2007, 08:58:59 PM

  This is how good we were. A national columnist in the Sporting News (now editor of Deadspin) writes an article about how much he hates us.

Good god we were spoiled. I miss these days. People forget Wefald called out UT because of this article. (especially UT fans who think he just did it randomly)

Quote

"Admit it: You would have been really, really happy to see Kansas State suffer a humiliating loss to Iowa State (Iowa State!)," began Leitch's commentary. "It would have made your entire afternoon. You would have walked the dog with a smile, sung in the shower, kissed your spouse with a bit more vigor and skipped and hopped on your way to church Sunday. And why wouldn't you have? Everybody hates Kansas State?"

Later, Leitch wrote, "And yeah, it was fun to watch the pompous Wildcats implode: they pulled a quarterback switch, benching Jonathan Beasley for Adam Helm. The college-football world was getting what it wanted; after fighting off nausea after the Wildcats swept through their usual cupcakes, it looked like they couldn't even handle Iowa State."

The ending: "Even though you K-State folk pulled it out Saturday, we're onto you; you're not all that. We're fully expecting Texas to stomp you in Austin this Saturday. Forgive us if we shed few tears."

P.S.  We stomped UT in Austin 35-17.

Can anyone find this original article?

Fun times all around.  :katpak:

Anyone have the priceless ad pic of UT players standing in the tunnel preparing to 'watch a bunch of rich, arrogant Texans beat KState' or somethin' along those lines?
