You guys are right, there are more ku fans than ever. In fact, the little hick town I'm from is a perfect example. When I was in HS ten years ago, I was one of the few enlightened ones. Everyone else wore purple crap. It was a K-State town all the way during the Decade of Dominance.
Now, all those purple shirts have been burned. And every one is wearing ku stuff now. People that I know were K-State "fans" back then, have nothing to do with the team.
Hey, I don't like it anymore than you guys. You can have those bandwagon fans back.
