This thread/topic is reminding me of one of the better movie quotes of all time:
Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with.
We have to realize wednesday was a sigh of relief for ku fans. Outside of our early season slump, lately ku fans have had all kinds of things thrown in their faces.
"K-State will never hire Huggins", "K-State won't be able to sign any of these Top 10 guys Huggins is in on", K-State will have to wait a few years b/c they're really going to suck until Huggins gets his kids in", "K-State will never beat Texas" and on and on. When we fell on our face wednesday in Lawrence, ku fans could relax for a moment, but the reality of the situation still caused some to go off like this fella did toward Coach after the game. The same guy was probably one of the many ku fans saying
"you all should keep Wooly, look at the talent he's brought in, he beat us, and he really has you guys on the cusp." Then we went and upped the ante and whether they want to admit it or not we are a threat. And we looked like we might be on the edge of being a major threat much earlier than any ku fan (or K-State fan for that matter) could've ever imagined. That's what led to this altercation, nasty posters from the school newspaper, and DUI chants from their students. For now we have to let ku fans have this one, their brief reprieve; but we can rest in the knowledge that Coach will have us competing with and beating ku soon, perhaps as early as in another week and a half.
