I thought that was pretty funny, but a strong move. It's like "and if you have a problem with what I have to say, you know where to find me."

That said, the article completely lost me at this point:

If you follow the 16 goals (as I do) then you left at halftime or before.  Goal #11 is Don't Accept Losing and anyone who stayed until the end would be in violation of that goal.  Sorry Cindy and Richard that you only follow the 16 goals when it is convenient for you, some of us actually live by them.

I pay good damn money to watch a football competition.  Our team did not compete, thus I left.  if our team would have been competing, I would have stayed. Left mid 3rd qtr but it was obvious our team quit, so I quit watching.  That article is not worth the paper it is printed on.

That is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. It is exactly because Snyder built this program into a winner that fans have high expectations. No one should blame anyone for leaving early when the team competes like they did last Saturday.

I will apologize for my misbehavior when I misbehave. Choosing how long to stay at an event, or to even attend one at all, is my decision. No one should expect me to give a certain amount of time to any activity unless it is a personal commitment. Ridiculous.  Now had the fans stayed and thrown things on the field, an apology would be in order. Leaving a venue for whatever reason does not necessitate an apology. Just my two cents...and I am glad I wasn't able to make it to the game Saturday.  Maybe I should apologize for turning the radio off in the middle of the first half.

This is the kind of attitude that breeds mediocrity.  And this #family crap gets taken too far sometimes.  Sure families support each other but they also fight a lot, too.  When your brother does something shitty, you don't say "Well, we're family, I support you bro!"  No, you say "hey dumb crap, quit doing stupid stuff, you're making this family look bad."

Its just sad when people have a kids/middle school sports philosophy for big time college sports. I mean, the coaching staff at K-State is collectively making nearly $6 million. That's a crazy number and fans should have expectations that match the investment K-State has made in this football program. This loser mentality from some of our fans is simply amazing.

Why the hell would I stay and just get more frustrated resulting in a worse weekend and bringing the people around me down with my piss poor attitude which in turn results in a chain reaction of negativity that could spiral into lord knows what.

My problem with people leaving early is when it is the other side of the pillow (the cool side if you will) where the 'cats are kicking a lot of ass to zero. That is an awful pet peeve of mine.

I'll see you in Austin this week. Go Cats!

As usual Winters nails it. It would have upset me more to stay than if I left, and it also blows my mind people would leave a game where K-State is beating the team badly. Sure you don't have to be all bonkers but at least enjoy the win.

Unfortunately, we have a large segment of our fan base that are simple minded people that willingly accept mediocrity and view K-State athletics as a non for profit small town youth organization intended for kids to have fun so they can eat orange slices and receive participation medals instead of a performance, results driven big business that employs the highest paid public figures in the State and is the economic engine for a $75million annual athletic department which it is.  This inferior, idiotic attitude has been a persistent cultural problem for our athletics teams for as long as I can remember and it's no wonder that we allowed the football program to languish for decades with this impotent attitude toward success.

You know I rarely respond to your posts, and I don't plan to make it a habit.  It seems just as judgmental of you to say they are failing because they put KSU football as a priority.  That doesn't mean that's all they have to break the monotony.  They may have very full lives, and I would assume that many do.  You calling that a failure seems hypocritical just because their priorities are different from yours.
I agree that people may come and go as they choose.  Just don't belittle them for their choices.
