TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: Cartierfor3 on February 09, 2013, 12:10:02 PM

We know that KC will never be 100% purple, but man, I can't believe how much EMAW I keep seeing around here. Today I've seen probably 75 people wearing Kansas State gear, and only like 4 people wearing gear from other schools (2 Missouri people, 2 Kansas people, all of those were poors, and both of the Kansas people were wearing stained orange bowl shirts, stained with ranch dressing or whatever poors eat).
Question is, how does this change the dynamic of the KC metro area going forward?
The transformation over to purple for Kansas City is a freight train, and I don't think the momentum is going to slow down anytime soon.
-
i hate it when people call clothing "gear".

i hate it when people call clothing "gear".
Really?
-
yeah, no hate towards CF3 though, because the answer to his question is firmly YES.
-
You were probably just hanging out in the rich part of town. I doubt the poor areas have changed much.
-
Western KC has a lot of KSU. Shawnee, Lenexa, Olathe. Prairie Village, Overland Park, Leawood also has a lot of KSU. But, still a solid KU majority.

Well, yeah.
Probably has a lot to do with the economic turnaround that I keep seeing more and more KSU Cats clothing (not gear).

Mission Hills is crazy EMAW. Tonganoxie is very EMAJ

Edwardsville, Bonner Springs, Olathe, Shawnee = KU strongholds. K-State even or better in the rest of the 'burbs on the Kansas side.

The KC metro has really changed since you moved to the Pacific Northwest bud. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Was Prairie Village a squawk's nest in 1997? For sure, but this isn't 1997.

Pfffftttt... all you have to do is breathe on a KU grad, and before you know it, you're in Prairie Village eating brisket and drinking Boulevard IPA's.

There are more KSU fans around plaza and in Mission Hills. Down the state line/Ward into leawood. About a 3-1 ratio.
KU fans seems to stick closer to the west. Shawnee, Merriam and in PV. OP is a mix with EMAW being closer to the Nall/Roe/130's while KU fans get farther west. Olathe is pretty EMAJ. I don't go there a lot though so who really knows.
-
Southern Olathe is very EMAW.

God, how long has beems been gone? I can't believe he didn't know it was flooded w/ emaw now since KU isn't relevant in anything now. Btw, this is kcsf's favorite talking point and I LOVE IT!

Report from Prairie Village and Leawood today: dominated by purple Kansas.
-

no, those are t-shirt fans
-
The sad thing is there are tons of Fusker Football fans that are also Ku basketball fans. And then there are fans that are not "real sports fans" that will cheer for KU in hoops and NU in football.
When you are EMAW, there is no rooting for another local team because you suck in a sport.
-
can confirm leawood/pv is EMAW.
parents live in north leawood, all of their neighbors are emaw, with the exception of one who is MU (weird)
went to the PV blue moose to watch the game with my pops last week, tons of k-state there. pretty much packed.
-
Lol at anybody who says Olathe is anything other than 100% jayhawk land.
-
KC (the KS side and lees summit) has shifted heavily k-state in the last 5-10 yrs. Enrollment at this respective schools mimics this trend. KU fans typically live in WyCo and trashy parts of KCMO. The MO side of KC is almost all MU (gold teeth and all).
PV is ridiculously KSU. Mission Hills is all old money went to some tiny private college people.
-
I was walking past one of the gift shops at KCI on Monday, and I noticed that they were all selling KU and KSU stuff. I didn't see any Mizzou items at all.
I thought it was kind of funny.

Its a progression for a certain type of person in KC. In the 80s they were Royals fans, in the 90s they were Chiefs fans, in the 2000s they were ku hoops fans, and in the 2010s they are Sporting fans. Most will never look back.

Good call. With all of those KU bball fans converting to SKC hooligans, it's no wonder they decided to tear Waids down. Shame. It was a classy joint.

Everytime I walk out the door I trip on a KSU fan. Good grief they are everywhere.

Its all those iguanna burrito bill radio commercials.

The poors have no sense of culinary pairing, I can confirm. Watching the game with some good K-Staters and a couple of dirty Jayhawks on Monday, on the Facebook invite the KU fan said he was going to bring crab cakes and moonshine, what a dipshit.

The z-man is the best bbq sandwich you can get in the world. Jack stack has the best baked beans. Gates is the place I have to tell tourists to avoid the most. Why did this thread also turn into a bbq thread? Oh well.

Don't you dare speak poorly of Ok Joes. For shame.
As a PV resident, I will always prefer original over new Leawood location. Something about the gas fumes make it better.

Ok Joes is just ok BBQ.
It's BBQ for suburban white people who are afraid of black people.
Ok Joes is bland BBQ for bland people.... like those from PV.

Then I have to :dubious: them and send them elsewhere.

Downtown has become very EMAW and in need of a central gathering bar. Typical kstate money blowing dinner places don't turn on the sound to game.
Last night got many a fist bump from the EMAW beads being worn for mardi gras.

Can confirm this to be true. In my last month's Country Club Homes Association meeting there was a motion to rename the Plaza "Little Manhattan" due to the sheer amount of EMAW. Stay tuned.

in answer to OP, yes

OK Joe's is owned by a big KU fan. In a town filled with legitimate BBQ why would anyone frequent that suburban poser hash house?

BBQ expert oneeyedwillie, what do you recommend?
Depends on the situation.
If you have never been to Gates, go to Gates. And yes it is in the BBQ elite. A lot of people are intimidated that they yell at you when you go, but they're not being mean. They're just being direct. If you are a tuck, however, don't go to Gates. Tucks will be offended by the yelling. They will be offended that the people serving their food don't say please and thank you. And it's too spicy for tucks.
Arthur Bryant's is also one of the historic greats. There's one at the speedway if you're from PV and are afraid to go East of Troost.
LC's is one of my favorites. It's a small place, and the smoke stack is in the same eating area. There is a lot hickory smoke residue on the floors making it a slippery. You can't always take your girlfriend/wife or your anal friend because they will thinks its not clean.
If you're with your mom, grandma or tuck friend, Jack Stack is good. In my opinion, some of the best quality of meat in town. You have to order the hottest sauce though to get any kind of spice. The hot sauce is about on par with the above mentioned places' regular sauces.
Then there are lot of places that are good, but I haven't been to in years. Danny Edwards, Lil Jakes, Zaps, Laura's BBQ & Stuff, Woodyard... but its been so long, I don't even know if they are still around.
Then there are some places that are alright. Rosedale, Wyandotte, Ok Joes, Quicks, Haywards, Smoke House, Famous Daves...
Yes, Ok Joes is just ok. It's not bad, but not great. I, however, don't like that all the white people/tucks in the area have adopted it as their "best BBQ in town" especially since it's from Stillwater Oklahoma. I'm sure Mike Gundy and Bill Self love it, but the best KC BBQ is not from Oklahoma.

Each place is so distinct and offers its own pros and cons, imo.
Friday lunch? Bryants on 18th
Bachelor party dinner with bros? Jack Stack freighthouse
Hung over Saturday afternoon? Ok Joes
Relatives are in town? Gates or jack stack
Quick pulled pork on a weeknight if you're in joco? Zarda

This is spot-on. My fav is AB's, and I do think there's a difference in quality b/w speedway and original. But I'll eat either.
Tip for LC's: if you have one of those wives or gf's who wouldn't want to go because it's "not clean," stop by and run in to pick some up for a Royals tailgate (it's 5 minutes away from the stadium, on the way from the Plaza area).
I like to say it's hard to find a bad BBQ spot in KC. There's just good places and great places. I find the love for OK Joe's annoying, maybe because it seems to be driven by tuck-types and the Kent Babbs and Sam Mellingers of the world. And it certainly appears like there could be a racial component to it--the "great white hope" of KC BBQ.

Ok idiots, go ahead and stop with the BBQ crap. That's what the NBAFBBQ thread is for.

LC's is one of my favorites. It's a small place, and the smoke stack is in the same eating area. There is a lot hickory smoke residue on the floors making it a slippery. You can't always take your girlfriend/wife or your anal friend because they will thinks its not clean.
One eye, I like your style. As a native Kansas Citian, you're spot on.
For those who want some of the best wings in the world, try Winslows in the City Market, KCMO. The pork sandwich is pretty tasty too. They have a nifty bar with a decent beer selection too. Also, the uninitiated don't realize that there are different places that stand out for different meats (e.g. LC's = pork baby!; Bryant's = ribs (get 'em dry and doll 'em up w/Gates & Son's - extra hot is my fave; see aforementioned Winslow's for bird). There used to be a buffet near the old Gates at 12th & Brooklyn called Papa Lew's that had good BBQ & other soul food, not sure if still there; also if you get over near the stadiums and don't feel like BBQ, try the Peachtree = best fried chicken there is. Fiorella's has the best 'sit down' atmosphere and GREAT beans & onion rings; Rosedale's crinkle fries are the best (but only when they're hot - dip 'em in Gates sauce).
Sorry to answer the original question - I'd say "almost." During FB season, no doubt. During BB season, it's still a KU & somewhat Mizzou town. A Big XII Champy will go a long way toward evening up the atmosphere. This is based on family & friend reports. As the name indicates, I haven't lived in KC for about 7 yrs now.

Ok idiots, go ahead and stop with the BBQ crap. That's what the NBAFBBQ thread is for.
This thread is about the Kansas City metro EMAW dominance. Thanks.

Protip: BRGR isn't for the poors. It's for PV elite (i.e. EMAWs).
