Arthur says he want to represent Kansas...

This place truly is becoming old GPC revival.  Phreak is the new Redinsi or whatever his name is.

Who?

Someone that would throw a hissy fit when something about a recruit with any kind of negative angle was posted.  He had a lot of anxiety about message boards seriously jeopardizing KSU's chances to land recruits.

I think Barry Sanders represents Kansas well, and he sure didn't go to school in state.

Only Kansas folks knows he is from Kansas.

Now that's just not true.  Fact is most folks probably have no idea where he's from.  But to those who do care, he makes it very clear he was raised in Ta-Town.

Everyone knows Joe Montana is from Pennsylvania even though he played at Notre Dame.  You know Adrian Peterson was from Texas even though he played at OU.  You knew Lew Alcindor was a New York kid even though he was at UCLA.  I could go on and on.

Plenty of Kansans have represented our state well by living/working elsewhere.  Saying Brown can't represent Kansas well by attending school out of state is a little silly.   But I understand the bias on this issue.

He can represent himself well as a Kansas kid at an out of state school but if he really wants to represent Kansas he should stay in state.  Gale Sayers is known as the Kansas Comet but he's from Nebraska.  You're always going to be associated with the place you went to school when I think of Peyton Manning I think of Tennesee not Louisiana.   I could on and on of examples like that it's just the way it is.  Those of us that follow recruiting closely normally know where a kid is from because we knew who they were before they chose a school but to the other 99% of the population they know you by where you went to school.

Even on a premium board?

And is he still around?  I see the potential for a lot of fun with this guy.

[chum1]

Fun?  Yeah.  Enough to want him around?  Yeah, I guess so.

You've got no worries.  That term does not apply to this situation.  Besides, you'd have plenty of company on this board if it did.

Notice the "Born: September 4, 1978

But yeah, usually you only hear about where they played in college..
