Also, you'll never see teams that are perennial top 15 in football (like OU/UT were in basketball before sampson left) not sell-out or come close.

OU/UT have been a small step below elite in basketball for 10/15 years now. They still don't care.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Personally beating texas last year was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than beating texas in basketball last year or in 04 when they were top ten.  Same goes for beating NU in 00, that was better than anything the bball team has done including beating ku last year.  For me.

Beating ku in AFH was pretty much fun for that day only. No one really remembers that.

...because that team sucked and was going nowhere.  Not much different from the FB win over UT, I guess....  :-[

During the texas game I felt sick to my stomach after we went up 21 and I saw that it wasn't the fourth quarter yet.  I don't think I said a word to anyone during the whole 4th.

Yeah....a first year coach beating the defending national champs, a top 5 team, a team that had won 20 straight big 12 games, 17 straight big 12 road games, nationally televised on ABC.

vs.

a 6th year lame duck head coach, beating an unranked team (though a small rival) on a espn+ game show in a 180 mile radius in the state of kansas.


There is pretty much no comparison here.

Seems like most of the folks that are definate FB>BB folks are those not old enough to have any memory of KSU being good at basketball.  I didn't get to see much, but I was at least in Jr High when we went to the Elite 8.  I very much enjoyed the glory years of FB and to be honest I enjoy coaching FB more, but there is still something significant to me about basketball.  Again, I just think they are hard to compare overall and they really don't compete much IMO.  In any case, definately #1A and #1B (with nothing else even close) in my rooting interest, K-State or otherwise.

When I think of significant occasions in all of sports, many more football events come to mind.  The immaculate reception, Vince Young's scoring run vs. USC for the NC, 2003 Big XII Championship, numerous missed or made fieldgoals that decided the game.  I could keep going.  There's plenty for BB too, but many many more for FB.

We live in big 12 country. Outside of ku (isu/mu?) no one gives a rip about basketball.

Again, there is nothing more fun than beating OU/NU/UT.

Big 12 country or not, I think its a relevant question for K-State fans.

Okay. We went 10-6 this year in basketball and 4-4 in football.

I enjoyed football season much much more.

It's obvious that the reason nearly all KSU fans prefer football to basketball is accidental.  It doesn't need to be proven.  It's what makes them idiots.

They're pretty clear and exact aren't they.  :)  Just handing out my biased opinion.  FWIW  If Huggie takes us to the FF next year, I'll still like FB better.

KSU fans "prefer" FB because we've been better at it (by a wide margin) over the last 15-20 years.  We should just admit that and move on.  College Football is extremely popular, but it's not like CBS only paid $100 for the NCAA tourney.  

Beating ku in basketball isn't the equivalent as beating UT in football because there are less games in football, just like losing to Baylor in basketball isn't as big of a deal as losing to them in football...Baylor is equally terrible in both sports, but it's more difficult to "make up" that loss.  If we played only 12 games in basketball a year (essentially just the conference) then beating ku in basketball would carry the same weight as beating UT in football.

I've grown up liking football entirely more than basketball, but my excitement for next year's bball season is much more than this year's football.

As will everyone. Doesn't change the fact the majority of us would rather have a dominant football program over basketball.

In 5 years, if we've muddled around 7-6 or 8-4 and haven't gone to a Big 12 Championship game or even legitimately competed for the title, while at the same time we've competed (maybe even won) a Big 12 title in basketball and gone to the Tourney every year (maybe made one run to the Elite 8 and FF) then a majority of us will magically rather have a dominant basketball program over football.  We prefer football because for most of us, that's the only successful program we've known.

Well, it's been three straight years of pretty much garbage football. Doesn't change the fact that we'd rather be gooder in football.

How do you explain KSU becoming a football school?  It sucked at football and was above average at basketball.....then all of a sudden we starting winning and basketball starts losing...and now we're a football school.  The reverse can happen.

But when we were good at BB twenty years ago or so, how many K-state loyals longed to have a decent football team?

For the majority of the nation (Pac-10, Big 12, SEC, Big 10, and the ACC even now looks like a football conference), football > basketball.

For the north-east part of the nation (Big East with their dozen or so mid major programs), basketball > football.
