You should try. I would like to read what you have. I mean I know my fatty post wouldn't live up to KK/_FAN/the pro's. but it still felt good to get it out there.

Awesome.

I can't believe there hasn't been a GPC response. I mean, I know the sides are pretty entrenched, but a couple of them seem like good guys and seem to care about legit passionate fans.
Maybe F3 stayed off payboards and they have been oblivious???

there have been a few good threads on Wabash Station about him. stormnut's carrying the banner over there pretty well. everyone has been very complimentary (other than dr00d who has no friends anyway) and many have encouraged people to donate.

If you mean media types, we reached out to the ones that we recalled having moments with fatty, whether irl, online or unknowingly (Manbeck jogging in front of fatty who observed and later commented on Manbeck's improving figure). But we'll take others if we missed any.

Very sorry to see this news today... :frown:

No disrespect to Shwan, but he did get banned here over and over, using multiple names.

Quite honestly, that was just a small part of his overall charm.

Re: Shwan 'Fatty' Alkhatib Memorial Fund Reply
Yes, he did get banned for trolling. That was part of his charm. He would tease and mock everyone equally, including opposing fans and K-State fans. He was relentless, and he was funny. His sense of humor was an unusual one, but once you really watched him for a while you came to appreciate it as witty and hilarious. Getting trolled by fatty was an honor.
But really this is what was important - fatty was one of K-State's greatest fans. Really, he was. He was obsessed with K-State. He had a collection of videos of every K-State game his whole life and then some. It went beyond the games though - he would record any clips about K-State from sportscenter, interviews with coaches, random clips on fox and cbs, anything having to do with K-State even remotely. He made the best K-State fan videos ever created using that collection of clips.
But it went beyond that. He could recite, from memory, the most obscure statistics about K-State. Scores, records, individual statistics from great games for certain players, and more. K-State was his life.These are things that I learned only after his death from some people who knew him personally.
And knowing how passionate he was about K-State, how many days and weeks and months of time he would pour into his obsession with it, he essentially gave it and everything else in his life all up to go care for his brother who is sick with cancer. He really was a good person, and I can't think of a better way to honor his memory and dedication than to donate to his memorial fund, which will go to help pay for his brother's treatment. So I would encourage anyone who has enjoyed his videos, or had a good laugh at him riling up some opposing fans (or even our own!) to donate, even if you can only afford a little.
Whether you loved him or hated him, Fatty was part of our family, and we as K-Staters always take care of our own.

Very well said. The only time I ever talked to fatty was on one of his videos on youtube where he was trolling kstate fans with one of his sarcastic titles, and I bit hard. He didn't respond to my comment, but actually went to my youtube page and commented on a video of me playing tennis (horribly I might add). All it said was "horrible form" lol. I said "true, but it got me to state" then he congratulated me, asked me a question of what classification I was in and said EMAW or something like that. I always thought he was 30-35 age range, never knew he was only four years older than me. Great K-stater, great troll, and after hearing about what he did for his brother he was a truly great person.

Bump. Never knew Shwan, but just realized who he was. I was friends with his brother Weesam in med school. Great guy. Weesam came to some bball games last year, but I missed the only games he came too. Was hoping to see him this year. Now I know why I didn't. Very sad...

Re: Shwan 'Fatty' Alkhatib Memorial Fund Reply
I thought a long time about donating. I ended up doing it. Considering how much time and effort f3 gave to ksu fans and enjoyment I get out of his video masterpieces, I thought helping his family in their time of need was the least I could do to repay him just a little bit for what he gave me as a ksu fan. Birth of ksu football is worth a donation alone IMO.

I was merely pointing out that the reason this post isn't being pinned to the top might be because he caused so much trouble for Fitz and Co, while he was trolling gpc w/ multiple names.

I've tried to read every thread about FFF on this and other boards he frequented and have yet to see what happened to him? So young? Anybody?

What happened to him- does anybody know? Watched his Utube videos and amazed that he wasn't working for big money making those.

Re: SIAP - FATTY? Reply
I realize we all wonder how someone so young who we appreciate so much could pass away. That information is typically private and sometimes very sensitive. While I am curious I think it's best to get into the mode of thinking that "it's none of my business". If that information is revealed by friends on message boards then so be it.

I believe it is his brother who has cancer. I saw nothing to suggest Shwan had cancer. I apologize if I'm mistaken but it's been stated repeatedly that he was caring for his brother.

Gee Hatter, you're going to ruin your rep by saying something so decent and sensitive.
(I'm not poking at you, I completely agree with what you said)
-
the lack of reading comprehension at that board is frightening sometimes.
"the sky is yellow. someone said that earlier."
"oh, no, the sky is actually blue."
"oh it is?"
"yes, the previous person was referring to the color of pee, not the sky."
"ok thx."

dr00d is such a bag of cockdicks.
-
tmcats: blah blah I'm the mayor whats going on here?
other: something happened, it was sad.
tmcats: cancer!
Manhatter: did anyone actually read what was written, I mean I'm humble enough to admit that I may have missed something, but assuming we all read the same thing, nevermind I'm just going to back away slowly.
tmcats: hmmm....maybe not cancer? AIDS?
other: yeah, hmmmmm....

Wyatt just gave a shout out to Fatty and his family saying we are saddened by the passing of a great KSU fan.
-
To show my appreciation to Wyatt, I will no longer mock his racism towards JO or "between the rings"
-
Kind of a half-assed shout out though. If you didn't know who Shwan was, you would have no idea wtf they were talking about. Too bad it was just kind of shoehorned into the broadcast.

I'm appreciative for Wyatt for doing it.

yeah. giving a shout out to a random fan on the air doesn't happen. enjoy it for what it was.
-
I didn't hear it, but I'm really glad he did it. And it's pretty cool of him to do it, too. I can't think of a single other bbs'r/fan who would get a shout out from Wyatt.
-
It was certainly a nice gesture, just wish it had been more clearly stated.
-
i'm very glad wyatt was able to do it and thank whomever helped make it happen
