Chicken tossing makes msn front page

Would throwing dead chickens be less cruel?

It's not really about the cruelty to chickens from my perspective.  I just don't really get the point of it.  First of all, when did it become normal or acceptable to sneak a live chicken into a sporting event.  Second, you are doing it to mock a team that you haven't beaten at home since Reagan's first term.  Not one of your current players was alive the last time it happened.  Third, it is actually cruel and while I don't really care about chickens, I don't see why you would go out of your way to torture one. 

When did it become normal or acceptable to support deadbeat dads?  Who is Jimmy Ray?

I mean WTF is the big deal?  We're talking about &@#%ing chickens. Mother &@#%ing chickens.

I honestly don't think you guys realize that the country is pretty much laughing at you, not with you.  And that is quite a feat considering what the vast majority of people actually think of PETA.

Everybody sees stuff like this and thinks about the backwoods Kansans that tried to stop the teaching of evolution.  But you guys keep enjoying the publicity.

You take yourself way too serious.  I could really care less what people on the coasts think about come college kids tossing a chicken (which mocks our rival'smascot) onto the court for one game a year.  A person from Kansas could find a cure for cancer and all anyone will remember about Kansas is Dorothy and Toto.  

I just think it's funny that you are celebrating the fact that most people will use this to make fun of you.  But hey, whatever floats your boat.

If you see no problem with the chicken tossing, yet are afraid of the flack it will create from a fanatical group, then you lack some serious testicular fortitude.

If you do see a problem with the chicken tossing, you just lack testicles. 

If I found out that Oregon State was tossing ducks on the court when they faced Oregon and Peta was protesting it, I'd laught at Peta. 

I think sneaking live chickens into a sporting event and then throwing them on the floor where half of them die is pretty stupid.  I don't care enough about the well being of chickens(that are going to die for food anyways) to get all upset about it.  I find it absolutely hilarious that people are laughing at you and you guys think that everybody is on your side because they hate PETA.  99% of people know that PETA is a joke.  But the fact of the matter is that 99% of people also would never think it's cool or acceptable to sneak a live chicken into a sporting event to throw it on the court where it has a 50/50 shot of dying on impact.  

You guys go ahead and keep thinking how awesome you are though.  

You don't like it because you're a ku fan and you're  .  Just say that and move on.

I think the Detroit octopus thingy is weirder.

They are probably about on the same level.  I would have to hear the story about where the Detroit thing came from.  I would guess it's probably something more creative than calling Jayhawks chickenhawks, but I don't know.

Dear DrunkoMcGee,

Shut the F--- up dude. All you have done for the past week is talk about chickens. Sure you don't understand it, its a tradition at a school that you never went to. Stop being a dumbass and making yourself look stupid.

Says the fanbase that hired Bob Huggins to become their basketball coach.  You guys are definitely the moral highground as you recruit Tyree Evans and you had a convicted murderer on his way to play football before some of your levelheaded fans put a stop to that one.  Clearly, the levelheaded people aren't posting here today.

What are we supposed to call them?

Not really.

The 1952 playoffs featured the start of the tradition—the octopus throw. The owner of a local fish market, Peter Cusimano, threw one from the stands and onto the ice. The eight legs were purportedly symbolic of the eight playoff wins it took to win the Stanley Cup at the time.

Eh, I also talked about basketball and you guys wanting to kick CU out of the league.  But you probably didn't click on the threads where you were defending a stupid tradition where you are mocking the mascott of a team you can't even beat.  

I definitely don't understand the tradition.  I don't really want to.  I was just letting you know that everybody else that didn't go to your school was laughing at you, not with you.

The chickens who enter Bramlage have a 75% chance to live until they die of old age at the K-state vet clinic.

The chickens who are not selected have a 100% chance to live until they are slaughtered.


HOW IMMORAL!

It's almost as bad as killing a wildcat.  Although I've got to hand it to the ku students back in the day who killed Touchdown, they've got balls.  I wouldn't &@#% with a wildcat personally.

Somebody killed a wildcat to take a shot at KSU?  Odd.

I was thinking about throwing kittens onto the floor at AFH next year.  I bet that will go over well and you guys will love and celebrate the new ku tradition.

We eat chicken.  Not kittens.  There is a difference.  They give me allergies, but they're SO CUTE!!!

Oh, it's ok because the chickens can fly.  Well, it didn't look like the ones that were thrown on the court and ended up in a trashcan got the memo about the flying thing.  Or maybe the KSU fans got so excited that they forgot to untuck the chicken's head from its wing. 

You are on a roll today.  First, you think Rick Barnes and Mack Brown are bad coaches and now this.  I'd be surprised if they don't make you wear a helmet.

Learn something from you?  I doubt it.  Luckily, I don't really come hear to learn.  It would be nice if something either intelligent or funny was contained in one of your posts though.

In his early years at UT, Mack Brown was sometimes referred to as "Coach February", a nickname that indicated he performed well during the important recruiting season, but failed to follow up with equally impressive wins on the field. His detractors felt that with all the resources at his disposal at Texas, combined with the talent he was recruiting from high school programs, that he should have more to show for it than appearances in the Holiday Bowl or Cotton Bowl. They felt that he should be playing for Big 12 titles or even National Championships instead.

In five of the eight seasons under Brown, the Longhorns have been all but eliminated from either of these two goals due to losses in October to Big 12 rival Oklahoma. Since the two teams play in the same division of the Big 12, a loss by Texas to Oklahoma means that Texas cannot win the south half of the conference unless Oklahoma loses at least two conference games. That single loss can easily leave the Longhorns in third or fourth place in the conference, behind the North and South division winners. 2001 was an exception that did little to ease the criticism. In that year's campaign, the Longhorns lost to the Sooners but were given another chance when the Sooners lost to both Nebraska and Oklahoma State. Texas made it to the Big 12 Conference Championship Game, losing to Colorado, a school they had beaten by a substantial margin earlier in the year. A similar opportunity presented itself in 2002. After Oklahoma beat Texas, they lost to Texas A&M and Oklahoma State. However, Texas had sufferred a heart-breaking loss to Texas Tech so they did not make the championship game.

Although Brown consistently led the Longhorns to a bowl game to cap off each season, his first six years he was not able to lead them to a Bowl Championship Series game, having to settle each year for the Holiday Bowl or Cotton Bowl. His record in these games was 3 and 3, with two of the 3 losses coming at the hands of supposedly inferior teams as judged by the rankings headed into the games.

I'm not sure if you realized this or not, but UT has won 2 of the last 3 Big 12 football titles and 2 Rose Bowls(with one of those being for a National Title).  

And if you are going to cut and paste an article written 4 years ago, you can at least tell us where you got it from so we can give credit to the smart guy that wrote it.  Wow.  You really just used an article that is 4 years old to prove a point when UT has won so much since then.  I thought you were an idiot, but you are shattering the scale of how dumb a person can be.  Seriously, my dog wouldn't even be that stupid and the only education he's had is puppy training.

I gave you the option of funny as well.

who cares if its 4 years old.

in summary...

mack brown and rick barnes suck for no reason.

havent you learned this?

i dont need to be funny. i kick that in when needed.

If you aren't funny and you aren't smart, then you are just the idiot that everybody points and laughs at.  According to this thread, you guys get off on that, so I guess it works out well for you. 

It's been fun guys, but I have to go.  Maybe tomorrow you can tell me how Worldcom is a good investment and link me a really old article telling me why you're right.

Uh, just so you know.. UT did not win the Big 12 2 of the last three years.

Oklahoma won it in 2004, beating Colorado.  Texas won it in 2005, destroying Colorado, and OU won it last year.

Just to help your facts out.

I really don't understand your point at all.

There are lots of threads on here discussing basketball, and there are a few threads, like this one, that are meaningless banter.

What's interesting is watching you get into a pissing match about a couple of threads that aren't the norm about this board.   I suppose if you felt the need to get into a serious discussion of basketball, you wouldn't waste most of your posts in the meaningless threads.
