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.

You're overestimating the adaptability of the average idiot KSU fan.

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.

What does this have to do with anything?  Is "Titanic" the best movie ever made?

It has to do with everything.

No, even if basketball was clearly more popular than football throughout the entire country, you would still be saying, "It's nice that we can finally talk about a real sport" at the end of basketball season.  You just need to go ahead and acknowledge that your only real basis for this thought stems from years of suckling at Bill Snyder's teat.

Exactly. Being the best at the most popular thing.

Nice job w/cutting rusty out.

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.

If basketball was clearly more popular than football, then it would be more exciting to follow.  I would then obviously like basketball more, as I'd rather follow a sport where more people cared, than a sport where not-as-many-people cared.

That's not the reason.  You would not like WBB if it was by far the most popular sport in the US.  Keep searching.

That is the case where you now live.  Again, keep searching.

Exactly. Final four = cool and all, but I seriously doubt I would attend. Fiesta Bowl? Yes.

    You can't be racist and like basketball.

Well, FF tix would be harder to come by/more $$$, so I guess that makes sense.

TV ratings for FF yesterday > Fiesta Bowl ratings

Loser(s).

Wait? So popularity matters now?

I admit, me liking the Fiesta Bowl more is simply preference. Media coverage is much higher for the final four, and I admit it's a much bigger deal.

btw: f4 tickets would be much cheaper. don't kid yourself.

I grew up a chiefs fan in a die hard football household.  Football is better than bball regardless of where ksu is in either sport.

LOL. Great thread. Basketball fans didn't bring up any legitimate points. Zero (0)

You know what's really sad?  Huggins has already generated more publicity than Snyder did in any single season of his.  Yes, including 1998.

Everyone hated Snyder. No one (outside of ku fans) hates Huggins because they don't care. About. Basketball.
