You want a reason to rough ridin' cry?  80% of KSU fans are either  :pbj: on the inside, or fully  :pbj: on the outside because it is now football season.

how many GPC threads on spring game?

I'm more upset than I otherwise would have been because of the Pitt loss, however, after all the crap we went through this season, this kind of exit seemed pretty predictable.

I know that if I give myself an inch of emotion on this thing, I'll dwell on it for a week or two, and that's just not something I care to do.

Thus, I make the conscious decision to be cynical.  Not because I want to, because I have to.  No half-way meltdowns for me.  Not for me.

I was not surprised.  Being surprised or vulnerable is the not the same as not caring either.  I am pretty sure you care dlew.  You don't put on the facade of not caring and continually post over and over again that no one else should care either.

I lived through December 98 and March 88, and still care.
But for some reason, tonight didn't hurt as much as some in the past, even though it was a game we could have won and then would have had a great shot at the Final Four.
Oh shi†, now I'm starting to feel like cac. No sleep tonight.

I'm not saying we don't care anymore, but to go from the high of beating NU and being on top of the world to everything coming crashing down within 1 short month changed everyone's outlook.  That game was so devastating that there's not a single q@s fan that I know of that doesn't expect everything to implode at any time.  It's just that ever present feeling that somehow, someway, we'll find a way to piss down our leg.  When you expect the worst, it softens the blow a little bit.  That was my sophomore year in college and I took that loss really hard, then the BCS twisted the knife by sending us to the rough ridin' Alamo bowl.  I'll never get that invested in sports ever again.  :blindfold:

meh. it only gets focused on because there are far more negative points in our history than positive ones, at least relative to what most of us expect / think k-state is capable of. it gets the lion's share of the discussion, appropriately.

Love this board.  People deal with their emotions in different ways.  Some get sad.  Some try to brush it off and be positive.  Some take positive to the extreme.  Some use sarcasm to deflect and shadow how they really feel. Some try to avoid emotional letdowns by readying themselves for bad news (the KITN crew).

 Others, and this is the only group that I have any problem with are just falsely entitled brats, who throw tantrums when things don't go their way.  These are the same people who care little about those in uniform and view the team solely as a means to the end of beating their chest every so often.

Sums up the board pretty well.  The ineventable "We will lose to (Iowa St, Nebraska, Missouri etc)" posts before each game are beyond stupid as is the "Frank is leaving" everytime a job opens up crowd. 

But unfortunately I'm subject to my emotions just like the rest of you and fall into these mindsets as much as anyone.

1) I think goEMAW should send CK a card or something to let him know he's appreciated. Very sad for him.
2) The goddam "woe is us, KITN" mentality just shows how rough ridin' stupid people are, considering last season was about as fun/awesome as a season can get, and this February/March was incredible as well. eff you guys. We kick ass.

This sounds like those old football fans who would say things "You think it's bad now, well *I* was there for the Stan Parrish days" immediately after a bad loss.  It's crap like this that would get me all stabby.

Yeah, except that's a completely different situation. I'm talking about people who have the mentality that when ever KSU gets on the big stage or seems special, they fail miserably or end up with a "KITN". They call it "typical KSU" or something similarly stupid. KSU basketball over the last 4 years has consistently stepped up in big games and on big stages, and really the only "KITN" over that time was the losses from the CK/Pullen suspensions.

If this loss didn't make you meltdown personally then you are a Jayhawk.

Thank you, Robert J. Lipson.  Totally agree.

Totally agree with Rusty.  It's been a fantastic 2 years of KSU basketball and I honestly think we will continue the excitement next year...albeit with greatly reduced expectations.

And the thing is, that is okay.  Being a sports fan, more importantly being a college sports fan is about more than bragging rights.  Though bragging rights are great too.

We played pretty well.  It was a tight game that could have gone either way.  Like, I could get upset, but who would I get upset at, you know?

the whole KITN phenomenon is so rough ridin' stupid it makes my head hurt.  idiots brought that stupid crap from kstatefans to this/(ksufans) site.  It's the epitome of the "woe is me" lose ksu fan.  Get over it.  There is no KITN.  There is nothing to fear.

when you look up loser in the dictionary you see a picture of george bush.  but if you look closely he is holding up a picture of these guys.

it is a choice. you are right, and being angry is a bad quality. i don't hate you whatsoever, nor am i upset at you.

Dlew really shouldn't be posting in this thread. His a great EMAW (one of the best) but sees bball simply as a means to pass the time until football season.  Any success is "icing on the cake" if you will.  This makes his perspective on the situation far too reasonable.

Dlew, let the bball fans be upset and care for their guys.  It is part of the healing process. We still have plenty of time to fully recover before we cheer on the katz in your favorite sport...

not sure if it's wrong or not.  not going through life as a crybaby is pretty big.  it's just a basketball game, after all.  it's just for fun.

the success of cat hoops validates our lifestyle/culture.

it's more than a hoops game. it's the very reason we are awesome.

My wife cried when she saw Jake pull his jersey over his head.
Who didn't?

guilty.  I'm still busted up...I feel so bad for Jake


Same here, Broseph's.  Only 2 Cat BBall games have made me cry.....Butler last year and now this.  I was doing fine until I saw Jake cry.

I didn't tear up until yesterday morning. My wife started crying at breakfast because she felt bad that I missed my alarm to go welcome the team at 430am. That's when I lost it.

Seriously.  I love the rhythm of basketball.  2 games a week, you get used to it and now there's nothing for so long.  The ending is too abrubt.  At least with football you know going into the last game that its the last game, the finallity of the tourney is a bitch.
