I've been over here a few times but spend most of my time on gpc.  Seems like this year KSUFans has been getting some negative advertising from wabash which of course has made me want to check it out more, not mention the famous Terry Pierce letter. 

How do you guys see yourself and what's the history behind this board?  I've never had as much fun on a board since the old b12 warroom before scout swallowed it.  Is this place anything like that?

we're hardcore bball junkies who hate fball and how "old balls" snyder has used fball to destroy a once proud university.  if you agree, welcome aboard!  if not, you should prob. spend your time elsewhere.

Allow me to begin.....

I came to this board by request a few of the early members here.....and many of them started during the old Big 12 Warzone days.  Many of the early members are huge basketball guys...which you don't find on Wabash.

What I am struck by is the quality of discussion overhere versus GPC.  Admittedly, I am a complete malcontent and have indeed been banned (more than once) from GPC....but my affection for this board has nothing to do with sour grapes or the like.  Getting banned at GPC is really more about boredom than anything else. 

This board is no bs.  It's hilarious and irreverent, but mostly just plain honest.  Tougher to find plumbers and deer rifles on this board, but easier to find real conversation about KSU sports. 

Obviously, this board skews younger than GPC demographically, but that's hardly a detriment.  The student body is more plugged into this board and many "traditions" and student movements originate here.   

If you "hang out" on this board, take some time to read some posts and don't take yourself to seriously...you'll get &@#%ed with over here regularly, but we never have the browbeating and "how dare you" bullcrap that GPC often produces.

Basically most of the posters here can't afford 9.99/month and are stealing wifi from their neighbors or living with their parents.  The main difference I see between the boards is that no moderators at KSUfans have successfully ass &@#%ed a football program by chasing off a potentially great hire.

^^^^Important point^^^^

Though I am not as pessimistic about Snyder as others in this thread.  Dude has changed.  He had his life alert necklace modified to signal a timeout instead of phoning the authorities.  No more delay of game penalties....dude has changed.

You're right. Think of KSUFANS.COM as a progressive, forward-thinking message board. While GPC'ers are still screaming to "Put the white boy in"

My God, what is up with all these NAB references?  Do you guys go to Smoothie King or Starbucks to watch games?

Not a coffee shop though, only gigantic douches hang out at coffee shops with their newest Macbook.
