Title: Time to be Classy fans
Post by: Cartierfor3 on February 26, 2015, 08:04:11 PM
I've heard from several folks in real life and on the interweb, that K-State fans are NOT classy. In fact, class seems to be the most important thing for a sports fan, according to some people I went to high school with's facebook.

Guys, we have to do better. ITT let's brainstorm ways of being classy as fans. I'll start:

I really think K-State should adopt Bob Knight's "Thank you. Good effort," at the end of wins. It would be hilarious if 13,000 strong were politely golf clapping for the vanquished visitors as they made their way off the court with the student section sanctimoniously pouring on the chant.

At the end of every win, fans gingerly step on to the court and personally escort opposing teams and coaches to the visiting locker room.  After safely arriving, fans tend to any players that may have been inadvertently bumped (see: assaulted) during the game and administer first aid as necessary.

Remaining fans on the court shake hands and cordially congratulate each other on another rousing display of spirit and sportsmanship.

Exactly. But no locking arms so as to avoid any chances of chicken winging. Maybe they could hold hands, or the players could hold onto the attendant fan's shoulder.

Of course, the fans should first offer the player a single white rose and say "my condolences for the results of your sporting match good sir. Please do follow me now to safety now."

:lol: @ currie thinking students cant chant "eff ku" without music.

Yeah, the students will find a new way to make it work.

Also, "ISU", "Iowa State", or "Cyclones" doesn't even work. It should still be fine as long as we are playing someone who doesn't have 2 syllables.

It would be great if our students could find a different, better thing to make work.

Killing sandstorm would be killing one of the better contributors to our atmosphere

Yeah, but they can't play it without the students chanting "eff ku" so they kind of have to kill it.

just say the word "eff" you guys, its just a word, people need to not be so sensitive to a rough ridin' word.  now if we were stabbing people and stuff when sandstorm came on it would be a different story, and not classy.

While we have covered Monday's postgame situation already this week (click here), I do want to encourage our students and fans to continue to remember our motto of "Welcome to K-State" and our goal of offering the "Best Fan Experience in the Big 12.”  Again Saturday, we will showcase our great university before a national TV audience on ESPN2.  Collectively, we must set a higher standard of expectation and eliminate the profane chant that recurred last game.  Let’s get this done together

We've been chanting that since back in 06. They are only now getting upset because it made the national media etc.

I may be the minority on this, but I kind of disliked sandstorm. By the end of it I was always out of breath and therefore could no longer scream, yell, and taunt at the appropriate volume for the preferred amount of time.

I didn't even know parents were allowed to name their kids Virginia anymore.

FAN EMERGENCY
One member of the Kansas State student section was taken from the crowd on a stretcher during a late timeout. A school spokesman said the student suffered a seizure and was taken to the hospital, where he was resting comfortably.
SANDSTORM

Might not be a popular view around here, but the major media outlets aren't going to want to cover a team that has intentionally vulgar fans. Folks in here constantly complain about recruiting issues, but recruits want their games to be on major tv outlets--they don't give an eff that the fans keep effing yelling eff-KU to pump themselves up or whatever the hell the point is supposed to be of it.

Would be the most hilarious thing our athletic department has done since they made that Family Matters video.
