Nearing the biggest game of the young Ron Prince Era I would like to hear why some of you are Kansas State fans, why you are an obsessive enough fan/driven to post on a message board and your most hardcore KSU memories. I'll go first:
I am a Kansas State fan because on Bill Snyder's last game I had terrible diarrhea and I didn't leave me seat the whole game. I had my butt cheeks clenched through 3 and a half quarters, but when Brandon Archer picked off Brad Smith's baby toss I sprung into the air and sharted all over myself. I hadn't done laundry in about two months at this point and I was on the second or third rotation with my pants and had completely run out of underwear. So the shart (and I'm being pretty liberal with my definition here as to ensure some lasting shred of self-worth on my own behalf) went directly on my pants and continued down my thighs.
I then realized that there was literally no way for me to leave without hearing Billy talk, so I toughed it out while everything dried (it was really sticky, like someone had let a popsicle melt on my leg) and finally after about an hour ran back home and showered/changed.
I am a Kansas State fan because I was there in 1996 when we took 50,000 to the Cotton Bowl and everyone actually thought that was the only time they'd see Jon Wefald cry in public, and I wore a Brian Kavanaugh jersey and those Mormons were classless bastards.
I am a Kansas State fan because I remember when Shawn Rhodes, Aaron Schwarzendrubber and Ayome 'Paco' May were considered 'stars.'
I am a Kansas State fan because I was watching when Mike 'Crash' Eckler explained to me when he was my student teacher that he wasn't number 29 because it was the same channel as MTV and that his favorite movie was Caddyshack and that he watched it before every game. That he had a pet pirhana, but it died and that he was dedicating the season to its memory and that he painted his face so that our opponents couldn't see him on the field and that he painted a rainbow in his shaved head because he loved Kansas State more than anything else on Earth and I cheered for him when he took out an entire wedge on a kickoff by himself because he didn't care if he broke his neck as long as it helped the Cats and made Bill Snyder and his parents and all the kids at Amanda Arnold Elementary and his dead pirahna and all the people in purple in the stands and at home for Christmas happy.

Damnit, laughed so hard I cried. KK, you've got a future in comedic writing waiting for you. :lol:

I just wanna say thank you for not sharting in my rental car.

I'm a K-state fan because..
Uh, I was born into it? No, seriously, my first K-state game was the K-state Army game in Manhattan in the 80's. I don't even remember it, because I was like 3 or 4. But apparently the stands were so empty my parents would let my brother and I run around the stadium up and down the bleachers having fun like it's a playhouse because the football team(especially THOSE football teams) were not exactly of interest to 2-4 year old boys. My parents were able to see us from anywhere in the stadium and not worry, even if they were on the west side while we were on the east side.
Yeah, games back then were that bad. So, I was technically there for the hard times, but too young to grasp or care about them.
But yeah, I've also been to a cotton bowl(the one we actually one), the Big XII '03 ship in arrowhead, and the Fiesta Bowl in 97. (the Kansas concert afterwards was my first concert.)
Come to think of it, every big game I've been to away from Manhattan, K-state has won. Maybe I'm good luck?
Well, if that's the case, my luck sure as hell didn't help throughout the 04 season, which was in fact my first year at K-state.
-
Oh, and I pooped my pants KSU stadium waaaay before you did. Therefore, I am a better fan. :bootyshake:
-
been to the alamo bowl :frown: the cotton bowl against tennessee :D and the fiesta bowl :banghead: &@#% you ell roberson. i also have had basketball tickets my entire life so i have witnessed some horrible basketball over the years. god bless bob huggins.

I'll never forget the night Aleksandr Gomelsky (http://www.hoophall.com/halloffamers/Gomelsky.htm) brought his Soviet Olympic team to Ahearn. They had just soundly beaten a top 5 Kentucky team in Rupp Arena and there was no way we were going to win. Vladimir Tkachenko (http://www.interbasket.net/players/tkachenko.htm) was the biggest human being I had ever seen. When they came out in their all red uniforms with CCCP emblazoned on the front I don't think there was a single person in that place that wasn't intimidated. Ahearn could get loud, but when the final seconds ticked off I thought the place was going to fall down. Shock, awe, and disbelief that what we had seen had actually happened is the only way to describe it.

I was born because of Kansas State basketball.
-
I shat myself in the Superdome when Kansas State was playing Tulane 8)
-
I nearly got frostbite in 1978 sitting in KSU Stadium on a cold weary day watching KSU beat CU 20-10.
I watched Austin Peay beat KSU and stayed for the Willie Nelson concert afterwards even though at the time I hated Willie Nelson.
I stood in the pouring rain and watched KSU lose to tcu the week after Jim Dickey got fired and I was at the two game prior that led to his firing ... Northern Iowa and Wichita State.
I was at the John Chandler "onside" kick game against OU in 1981.
I was at the Toilet Bowl in 1987.
and on, and on, and on ....
-
I was at Tony Kitt's senior night.
-
Oh man, that was a player that had completely escaped my mind, and he was on of our stars
-
I slept with Justin Swift's girlfriend.

I slept with Justin Swift's girlfriend.
OK, that's not true. I sat here trying to come up with something better than being at Tony Kitt's senior night and that's the only thing I could come up with that beat it. I'm a failure.

In the Fall of 1996, fresh off an NCAA tournament appearance after the 95- 96 season, I wished Tan Tom "good luck" as he walked by me towards his car (I believe he was rolling in a beamer or a mercedes).
In the Fall of 2003, fresh off a 13-17 season in 02-03, I saw Wooly at the '03 KSU @ OSU football game and wished Wooly "good luck" this season.
In short, I'm not saying a word to Huggins.
-
I was born and raised a block from the University of Kansas, but my dear old dad, being a loyal Jack Hartman fan from his days at Southern Illinois, showed me the way. I was tormented as a child for my purple gear, but never let it bother me.
I remember Jason Smargesso or whatever his name was.
I remember being at the BBall game when KSU beat Temple (which I believe had Eddie Jones and Aaron Mckie).
My first football game was KSU vs. UNLV.
I remember feeling like we won a champsionship when we beat Wyoming in the Copper Bowl.
I rushed the field at Memorial Stadium when Chad May led the cats to victory in Lawrence, I also snuck into that game.
I was there in 98, at that game, you know which one, I don't even want to say. The PA announced that UCLA lost, and the place went crazy thinking we were going to the NC.
Last year, I saw Justin McKinney pick off a pass to seal the deal against Marshall, and got to laugh at all the dejected Marshall fans would thought they had it in the bag.
This year, I will see Bob Huggins return to Cinncinati to beat Xaiver!

One drunken night a friend and I climbed into the stadium, ran on the field, climbed the goalposts, etc. under the watch of Bill Snyder.
-
Snyder knew you were in the stadium??
-
I was listening the last time the Cats wore black unis (men's basketball) on the road.
I was at 90% of the home games during the last year of Altman and every year of Asbury and Wooldridge.
The moment below was one of the highest as a K-State fan in my 31 years on the planet.
(http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a154/ksufan/Win%20at%20ku/Akeem.jpg)
Oh yeah, I once had a streak of 1 missed home FB game from 1993 through 2003 before a change in my job made it only possible to make a few games per year.
Have been to every Big 12 stadium except aTm, Baylor, and UT.
Copper Bowl trip is another K-State fan highlight.

I was raised in Jayhawk Country, in southern Johnson County. The last member of my family to attend KSU was my great-grandfather. My uncles and aunts all went to ku, and my closet was full of Jayhawk garb. Each year in March, I’d be crestfallen when Syracuse, or Illinois, or Arizona, or Virginia, or UTEP, or Rhode Island, or some other team would end the season for the Jayhawks. I was excited when June Henley ran all over KSU. I was the lone Jayhawk fan among my fellow 4-H’ers, and I’d wear my Jayhawk garb when I attended an event at KSU.
When it came time to choose a college, I had plenty of options. I had thoughts of going to ku, obviously, but then two things happened. First, I decided I was interested in studying agriculture. Second, I ran into Pat Bosco at the KSU booth at the state fair my junior year in high school. He saw some Jayhawk material in my hand, and offered me a KSU t-shirt if I’d throw the ku stuff away. I complied, but didn’t expect to ever see a t-shirt. Next week, a t-shirt arrived in the mail. The next spring, KSU sent me reams of material and scholarship offers, along with most of the other Big XII schools, while ku didn’t send me a thing. Late in the fall of my senior year, I decided on KSU, and the first KSU football game I watched as a KSU fan was the Fiesta Bowl.
The next fall, I got into KSU football big time. I camped out in the ICAT line in Bramlage a few days into my first semester to make sure I got tickets. I painted my face and wore a purple wig and welcomed Channel 9’s viewers to the Big XII championship in St. Louis, hours before my heart was ripped out. After that, I went down to San Antonio for the encore performance.
Basketball season rolled around, and although my introduction to KSU basketball was Tan Tom’s descent, watching Manny Dies and Shawn Rhodes was still fun and got me hooked on Cat hoops.
As college progressed, I went on football road trips to every Big XII North school, and to the Holiday Bowl and Insight.com bowl. The most memorable ones include hanging on at Mizzou in 1998, the pasting of Colorado in Boulder in 2000, freezing my kibbles and bits off in Ames in 2003, and watching the Cats blow out NU in Lincoln a week later.
I had front row tickets to the beginning of the Wooly era his first two years, and beat everyone else to the ticket line his second year by three hours…seriously overestimated the demand for student season tickets that time around.
I’ve seen the Cats play football in Manhattan, Lawrence, Columbia, Lincoln, Boulder, Ames, Norman, St. Louis, Kansas City, San Antonio, Phoenix, Tempe, and San Diego. I’ve seen the basketball team lose two games in Allen Fieldhouse and win one. I’ve been on ABC and local stations a couple of times and the jumbotron a lot more.
And, in a final twist of fate, I played the hapless Jayhawk in a Willie skit and got slammed into the basketball goal.

her name was Misty, and she swore she was chris canty's girlfriend. she was stunning. she actually thought canty was going to keep her around after he got drafted. she couldn't handle her alcohol. i figured if girls that hot, dumb and drunk were common around ksu football, i had to join in.
i attended every game, home and away, during the 2000 season.
i have camped out for season football and basketball tickets, though it wasn't the same year.
i worked for Bramlage while a student to get free admission and parking for basketball games the one season i couldn't afford to buy season tix.
i've seen chad may drunk off his ass at two different rusty last chances. at one he bragged about a million dollar arm, at the other he sat there hoping someone would recognize him and say hi.
i've seen michael bishop walk into my apartment during an afterhours party, and walk out five minutes later with the two hottest women.
i've shared my summer beer with jonathan beasley before a game.
-
Bill Snyder knows everything.
-
Doesn't have much to do with KSU but I played juco ball with Tony Kitt and shared a smoke with him behind a gas station in Winfield, KS while our bus was broke down. Tony was probably the only d-1 player that smoked a pack a day.

Chris Canty stole my sister's credit card :shy:

That was back when MCMW really meant something, and people didn't swear as loud at football games.
-
that was back when mcmw meant getting drunk the night before a bowl game, cramping up late in the game, and watching your backup become steve sarkisian's bitch.

I gave my right nut for a win.

tear to the eye my friend.
The only time I've been to the Phog was when Tim Jankovich gave my dad and I some tix to the KSU-ISU two years ago when J.R. went 1-13.
It was pretty awesome seeing ku get beat @ home.

kat kid and myself also attended t-kitts senior night

"Through the good times and the bad times and we've had a lot of bad times this year, that family in the locker room has always stuck together," said Tony Kitt, Kansas State's senior forward. "If I had the chance to do it all over again, I wouldn't trade it for anything."
The former mantra for the K-State basketball fan.

I went to KSU because I grew up in Manhattan and doing so was, by far, the most practical and economical option for college.
I once without permission walked out of my part-time job hours before the end of my shift in order to attend some POS non-conference game under Altman. When my boss asked me where I was the next day, I assured him, "oh, I was here. Yeah, I was here."

i was in love with elliot hatcher. i didn't understand basketball back then, but i loved him anyways. bought the $5 willie fun packs or whatever they're called, which were $5 tickets to any game except ku if you bought them within an hour and a half before the game. i wish they kept that around. i didn't attend my first game until 2000 i think, when we blew out north texas. i remember thinking "wow, this is so much different and cooler than on tv." my dad's a prof at ksu, but neither of my parents could give a crap about kstate sports. still couldn't get enough of ksu though. even at ku i'm still as big of a ksu fan as i've always been. maybe i don't despise ku as much as i did, i don't want to see my pledge brothers suffer, but i still don't root for them. i didn't even buy the ku sports pack (which will suck if i can't get tickets to any ksu-ku game). the only ku shirt i'll ever wear is muck fizzou, but i still need to buy one (http://www.ksufans.com/forums/Themes/KSUFans/images/post/thumbup.gif)

W 11-05-1992
Thursday "Stuff the Stadium" night. I start working the concessions with a high school organization. I end up in the stands......KSU wins 22-13. I'm forever EMAW'ing.
-
My last year at KSU I was so pissed they didn't fire Asbury I refused to get season tickets. However, I still wanted to watch the games so I took a job at the concession stand.
Beasley used to come to nearly every basketball game (women's included) by himself. You'd think a D1 QB could find at least one floozy to accompany him to the game...
-
He must have done so by choice. I saw him a number of times with either a certain blonde floosie or a certain brunette one. They were both very, very hot.
-
I've been told Beas is up to about 250. He's eating ok.
-
I'm Mark Mangino irl.

what a stud. He was always eating nachos as well.

Hmmm...been going to games at KSU Stadium/The Bill since like 1979...remember the cats having a 2 point lead on Nebraska in the early 80's sometime...remember the Austin Peay game...28 nuthin' at half...and somehow KSU lost...remember Terry Allen coming in and winning with a I-AA team.
Remember watching a game at Ahearn against NU.
Didn't go there, but spent a lot of time as a kid in the student section on weekend visits to see my aunt and uncle who are both DVM's from KSU.
