"I hated going down there!"

That was right after they moved to Manhattan.  Bennett hadn't coached a game yet, so he couldn't have gotten in davison's face then have a tragedy happen. 

He probably just later found out that the guy had misfortune. Seriously, what other coach of ours has had misfortune? I'm sure he just was confused, maybe even talked bad about him until someone was like "hey man, don't talk bad about that guy, his wife died in a freak lightning accident" (what a dick)

I believe he's referring to Jim Gush, who's wife had cancer and was on KSU's staff from 1995-2001.   He went with Bennett because the medical facility could care for his wife.   If I'm not mistaken, she passed away a couple years ago after battling it.

I thought it was Stoops or Venables, but I remember Gush going with Bennett because of that reason.

Yeah, I completely forgot about Gush. He's still at SMU, his son has a scholarship offer to player there. I know their son.. played pop-warner with him.

His daughter was pretty cool but the mom is/was a raging bitch.  Truly not a good person.

Gush wasn't in Manhattan until 99 (same time as Bennett - after the defections, Rex Ryan, etc.)  Was at GCCC before that.

Matt Davidson popped off at the KState bench when he made a big catch on 3rd down in the 3rd quarter.

Was it Greg Peterson?  Wasn't one of his kids retarded or something happened to one of his kids?  He's also from Nebraska so that would explain how Davidson would've found out about something happening to his family.

Haven't been many good stories like this post 2000.

QFT.  I'd say since 2002, though.  I think it might have something to do with the University trying to make the student section completely sober and the fact that our defense has basically been a bunch of FP's since that time.  I think having a good/great defense makes the crowd louder/nastier.  Definitely haven't been as unclassy/asshole-ish as we could be.  I think the crowd in basketball could get that way this year, at least I'm hoping so.  The cryastal clear "dead beat daddy" chant was a good start.
