When the university starts putting it out, not only as a band formation, but on their official promotions, you know its back to big time.  The hoops sign outside of tardville with the 5 players glaring angrily has EMAW (whole phrase, not abbrev) on it.

I agree that this site got it going again, but the recent resurgence is completely due to the ku I-70 billboard getting EMAW'd twice in the past 9 months or so. EMAW stuff started popping up everywhere after the billboard got hit before the basketball game last February.

true.  I will admit that is the reason I created vmedia.rivals.com/UserMedia/FanPagesPhoto/Gallery/222/O226850.png when MJ told us about possibly shutting down the board.

Exactly, that's why I said that this site got it going again, it was obviously the inspiration. Without the billboard, though, EMAW would still only be known by people who post on this site. Now, it's blowing up.

GTM started selling multiple styles of "EMAW" shirts after the billboard, the athletic department made the slogan "ksufans copycat" a couple months after the billboard, etc. Without the billboard, EMAW is still understood solely by KSUFans posters. If you can tell me a more rational way of how thousands of new people figured out what EMAW meant in the past year, go ahead. TIA

I'll take 25 of those.

I knew what EMAW meant since I was young but it is a fact that this board is solely responsible for its common usage today.  The billboard was a direct recult of it's usage here.  Every movement has its spark and the EMAWania that is sweeping the midwest was sparked right here.

I remember seeing the phrase on those large banners on the back side of the football stadium expansion deck back in 1999 and for maybe 2 or 3 years after that.  They were large pictures of a generic football player with "ksufans copycat" below.  Those banners were later replaced.  One with the 13 bowl logos which K-State has attended, and the other with a list of all the division and league championships K-State has won.  Anyone else remember those banners?

my first exposure to the slogan itself was from some early 90s radio ads where at the end some campy-80s-ish voices "sang" ksufans copycat and i also remember the shortlived politically corrected version Every-One A Wildcat being put into commercials too.  I can hear it in my head now.

Attended KSU in mid through late 1970's and ksufans copycat was around as was the Every Cat a Wildman phrase. Purple Pride was the most common phrase used at that time. uk's retort was KState, where the men are men and the sheep are nervous. The EMAW phrase was not used back then and do agree with the resurgence and the phrase EMAW being attributed to this site.            :cyclist:           :kstatriot:
