With some frustration surrounding the Wildcat Nation the past couple weeks, perhaps we should take a step back, take a deep breath, and remember why we love and are so passionate about Kansas State. I am willing to be the first to tell my story and would love to hear your story.Wildcat Passion - What is Your Story?It all started in a small classroom in Beattie, KS in 1987 when my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Laurie Wright, asked for a show of hands who liked K-State and who liked KU. Being a third grade girl whose parents weren't sports fanatics, I had no idea the difference between the two. With a sense of panic, the only thing that came to mind was the playground saying I had heard many times, "K-State is great, KU PU." Hesitantly, I raised my hand for K-State. I felt a little better learning Mrs. Wright was a K-State fan (but she married a KU fan).That afternoon after getting home from school, I immediately asked my dad, "Dad - who do we like? K-State or KU?" Without hesitation my dad said, "You are a farm girl, you have to like K-State." I can remember a sense of relief at that moment that I had answered that question correctly.Since that day, there has NEVER been a time I have ever thought about wavering from that decision.I constantly (especially this past week) have people asking why I don't root for "the other Kansas school" when they aren't playing K-State. For me, it would feel like a betrayal to root for KU as I am so passionate about the Kansas State Wildcats. To some, I am sure it is incomprehensible, but I know there are other Kansas State fans out there that share a similar passion for our school.You see, Kansas State fans are passionate. Kansas State fans are loyal. We don't have endless conference or national championships to our name. We are accustomed to "blue collar" work and savor every win.Do we like to win, absolutely! Do we abandon the bandwagon when the going gets tough, absolutely not! Do we support only one sport? Not a chance.I am a proud and passionate alumni of Kansas State University. What is your story?
I hate every person who says 'there is more to sports than winning.'No, there isn't.
