Espy's!! Most shocking upset two years running. :woot: :emawkid: :pbj: :lol: :thumbsup: :surprised: :blush: ;) :grin: :D :) :party:
-
It may be powertardy, but I love seeing stuff like this.
-
:dubious:
-
not gonna talk too much trash about this one.
but it must really suck to be the downside of that award two years in a row. i would hate it.
-
Someone want to explain what happened?
-
Bob the Bulldog Fescoe got super defensive tonite. just like old times.
-
the ESPY awards. "Biggest Upset"
last year, northern iowa won.
this year (tonight), VCU won.
-
pretty good meltdown at the phog. better than i expected.

VCU wins ESPY for us crapping our pants (1 vote)
I miss the feeling of watching the tourney in 2009, when i knew it wouldn't be a kansas FAIL montage...
I think Bill Self should have accepted the award on their behalf
not to belabor the point, but get real, man.
We have lost in epic fashion, no one has done it quite like us. It sucks, but it's a fact.
Say what you want about our past failures, but last year's was a real piece of work.
What will sting worse is that there should be some very solid NBA ballers coming off last year's KU team and, like the '97 team, we'll just be left to shake to shake our heads and wonder how it got away.
Even with those of us that defend the heck out of the program, 68-6 with no Final Fours leaves some indigestion.
They have given out 7 Best Upset awards at the ESPYs.
2004 - NBA Finals Detriot over LA Lakers 4-1
2005 - Bucknell over Kansas 64-63
2006 - not awarded
2007 - NBA 1st round Golden State over Dallas 4-2
2008 - Super Bowl XLII NY Giants 17 New England 14
2009 - Confederations Cup USA 2 Spain 0
2010 - Northern Iowa over Kansas 69-67
2011 - VCU over Kansas 71-61
3 freaking times in the 7 years it has been awarded. Congrats Bill. And we wonder why we have blown goats recruiting???
I have an even better one. How bout Reed and Brady shooting a combined 1-19 from behind the arc. If you're going to play those guys ahead of better talent all year going into the NCAA tournament then you better take the heat when they can't rise to the occasion and knock down threes when the heat is on with a final four and possible title on the line.
Lets see how that effects our backcourt recuiting, if 2011 is any indication then it was not worth the hassle of dealing with another humiliating NCAA faceplant on top of potentially destroying our recruiting with top players especially backcourt recruits.

3peat, 3peat, 3peat :excited: :drool:

That IS hilarious.

was at "the hawk" for a bday party tonight and started a V-C-U chant when it aired. Squawks werent amused.

Really shouldn't be considered an upset when it happens 50% of the time.
-
3 times in 7 years....extremely impressive if you think about all the upsets there are over the course of a year in sports.

It really gets to them.

I hate to break it to you, but KU fans have been in cruise control ever since the '08 national title. Until K-State or Mizzou can at least sniff a Final Four (hell, I'll even take a bowl win or a Big 12 title), you'll be looked at as the jealous, red-headed step child.

KU was clearly better in basketball, and neither team was good in football last season. Congrats on losing in the Pinstripe Bowl, though. That was a tough pill to swallow as a KU football fan.

I think in the grand scheme of things Ben, you need to look at it like this.
Carson Coffman and Colin Klein put 57 points on the board against ku. Meanwhile ku managed to put a single TD on the board against one of the worst defenses in the country.
When you look at it from that angle, clarity ensues.
Try it.

I had no expectations for KU football last season. I was just happy they beat #15 Georgia Tech.

KU did beat K-State, 90-66, finished 35-3, top 5 in the country, and won multiple Big 12 titles. How many Big 12 trophies did you guys bring home last season?

Meltdown complete. I didn't think an Espy thread would cause a Ben freak out but 12-1 has his self esteem dangerously low.
Cheer up Ben. Ku football players are finishing their sprints now. They might keep KSU from scoring over 55.

enjoying you using the term cruise control. cruise control is sitting back and letting something else take control, not putting in the maximum effort. kind of like flaming out every year since winning the nc. well done beems, spot on analysis.

I was just happy they beat #15 Georgia Tech.
Looked at both final 2010 polls. GT was not #15 and wasn't even found in the others receiving votes. VT was #15 in the USA Today Coaches poll. You sure you aren't still in 2008?

This. When a KU fan's first response is something that happened 3 years ago, you know they can't be stable.
Also Ben keeps using the kstategrad emoticon. He's so unstable he doesn't know where he graduated from.
