Title: K-State The Media Darling Once Again
Post by: steve dave on March 02, 2011, 03:18:45 PM: So we've been on the front page of every website, talked about on every TV show, slobbered over on all radio broadcasts. It's like last year all over again. JFC, get off of our nuts world!....just kidding, make yourself at home...you may be there awhile :gocho:

Post by: steve dave on March 02, 2011, 03:26:02 PM: Same here ETP. When I was travelling for work the other day the pilot yelled at me as I exited the cabin. He was all, "YES FEAR THE BEARD! JACOB PULLEN AND FRANK MARTIN HAVE WRAPPED UP B12 COY AND POY!" and it caused everyone to look at me and try to chat me up as I walked down the concourse. :dubious:

Post by: OK_Cat on March 02, 2011, 03:28:36 PM: no joke, I was in Tokyo for work the other day, and some lady (i dunno, Chinese or something) came up to me and thought that I was Frank Martin. She thinks all white people look like Frank Martin, basically.

Post by: EllToPay on March 02, 2011, 03:28:47 PM: Funny you say that. I'm 40k up right now on a magnificient Frontier bird, and the stewardess noticed my K-State pin. Not only did she ask me about ftb and shane, but also dragged on and on about how hot Jamar is. She even gave me two bags of peanuts.

Guy in front of me had a Missouri shirt on. She just laughed and told him to put his tray table up.

Happened to me a few years ago in Montana. Our FB team just destroyed some Montana school, so I was thinking they'd recognize us then, but no.

Moron I worked with last summer thought I was wearing a Penn State hat for the longest time. Then I explained it was Kansas State....he said I was a Jayhawk....I rough ridin' wept.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on March 02, 2011, 04:25:35 PM: I have to remember to NOT wear any K-State gear into the neighborhood BWW, all the gushing from the usual suspects is bad enough, but with the KSU Gear on, the hovering, the wanting to talk my ear off about all things KSU Cats related is just to much.

Post by: Dugout DickStone on March 02, 2011, 04:48:48 PM: It's ridiculous. I was in a high level meeting at 767 Fifth in Manhattan, one of the execs I was spitting some info at heard me mention being from Kansas, he stopped me in mid-sentence and asked what I thought about the amazing run of the KSU Wildcats and their point guard. I told him it was fun but let's get back to business. Nope. He shut the meeting down right there and we all went to lunch at Per Se, talked Cats then partied.

Was in Lawrence with my K-State gear today. No adoration expect for the for the usual mixed-up daddy's girls looking for bad boy love but the fear was palpable.

Doc (ku fan) wouldn't STFU about the turnaround of the Q@s and how dangerous they are now. I was all, "Hey can we make sure I'm gonna live to see this tournament?". He hustled through his feel-up so he could get back to talking EMAW hoops.

I got as close to that as they can give after about 4 years. There's no "never" point. Generally, I'm comfortable with the odds. It's only when I get into long convos about it with super-inquisitive BBS'rs that I kind of freak out and feel the need for some reassurance. Hoping to get a :emawkid: worth call by the end of tomorrow.

But really, couldn't the doc focus in for like 5 minutes on me before going on and on about the ridiculous feel-good Q@s story? I mean, I lived it bro, and I'd like to live some more of it.

Does losing three out of four, two of which came on the road to desperate bubble teams, and one at home to a suddenly swag-tastic Kansas State bunch, really constitute a slide?
