how can i let ku fans know that i'm sorry so that this doesn't ruin them for the rest of their lives?

You can't. They won't believe you.


It might help if you guys didn't try to glorify the one guy who got physical with Jamari Traylor and created a national media hullabaloo storm.
beems, i'm sorry that ku's enforcer got chickenwinged by a 170lb frat bro, that kid is a pretty big idiot. i hope jamari trailor is ok.

I am also sorry that in the confusion of the celebration he got bumped into.  I will do all in my power to make sure we don't forget this

For eff's sake, beems... The phogtards, and you especially, are masters of making mountains out of molehills.

 :facepalm:


Ahhhh yes... phog.net is now responsible for every national media writer for the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, ESPN, etc, etc. 

 :rolleyes:

I'm sure you're "just trolling" because nobody, literally nobody, can be that gotdam stupid.  If every Tom, Dick & Harry with a ku t-shirt hadn't thrown a hissy fit, the media wouldn't frankly give a single eff.

Despite the delusions of grandeur, at the end of the day the rest of the world just sees ku as a bunch of midwestern hayseeds.

The poor kid was just confused and didn't realize he was making a b-line straight for Jamari Traylor.  He's really just a victim here.

Ahhh yes... as we've established by now, multiple times, this is all just one big conspiracy against poor lil' ol' K-State.  It's KU's fault that the national media picked up on the hatred and rage spewing from the fans in Manhattan and generated a national story out of it.  You are all the victims here.

Actually, I think very few K-State people are too upset about it... So, what is this "conspiracy theory" you speak of?

The nation isn't laughing with you & the ku crybabies , beems.  They're laughing AT you.

I pledge to make February 23rd "Fan Behavior Awareness Day," where we can offer up our thoughts and prayers for Jamari Traylor and remember and reflect upon the tragic actions that occurred on February 23rd, 2015.

I think this is a more accurate statement. Honestly, someone should help Coach Self understand the difference between a chicken wing and a body check. ("Chicken winging" is a much more entertaining verb though.)

Is it still a thing at games where the cheerleaders hold up a sign that says "PURPLE" to one side and everyone yells it and then they hold up a sign that says "POWER" to the other side and they all yell it?

If so, do we have any insiders w/the cheerleaders that could get the PURPLE sign changed to NATHAN?

Great idea. I heard that Traylor is going to pull through. But the psychological scars will never go away.  :cry:

I've been searching for this WSJ piece for 20 minutes now. It's not on their home page, their sports page or opinion page.

I google "K-State wall street journal" and there are 2 pieces about Leticia Romero from last may and 1 piece on Robert Lipson from 6 years ago.

 What keywords should I be searching? Help me out here, Beemsie-Poo.

Nobody is actually condoning what this kid did.  KU has received apologies from the AD, from the President, and from the individual who bumped Jamari.  Any "support" for him is entirely tongue in cheek.  It's bizarre that this has to be explained to you.

That's it. I'm emailing the managing editor of the Wall Street Journal. I need to find this piece that Beemsie keeps talking about. I NEED it.

This is classic denial and victim-blaming at its finest.  Psychology professors will write a book about it someday.  Here are some of the stories surrounding Monday night's court storming:

But yes, it's just a bunch of media people laughing at KU.  You nailed it, Bookie Pimp.


 :jerk:

Great job missing the point, beems.  I didn't say the media was laughing at ku, I said the NATION is laughing at you.  The free thinkers all see you guys as a bunch of spoiled crybabies.  The average idiot, like you and most ku fans, will gladly eat up what media outlets force feed them.

Hell, even Holly Rowe and Fran Fraschilla mushed Andy Katz in his fat face when he tried to pile on yesterday.  I just hope you all recover from the horror and psychological damage done from seeing the court storming.  T's & P's

 :jerk:

It's really amazing that you've taken the time to put this list together. You're clearly very upset, but respectfully, I think this may be your psychological reaction to the humiliation of losing to K-State in our hobby sport yet again. I'm also pretty sure you're the only one raving about a "media conspiracy theory." It's a newsworthy event that'll be forgotten by all but KU fans in less than a week. A K-State fan did something stupid, harmed nobody, and apologized. The university even apologized for the actions of this one fan. I'm not sure what additional validation you're looking for. Nobody on here is condoning what the kid did - we're mocking how engraged the KU fans are about it.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.
