TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Basketball is hard => Topic started by: the angry young man on June 03, 2016, 03:43:06 PM

After a full year of not caring about KSU athletics I can honestly say that I'm a happier person. K-State sports is nothing but heartbreak and frustration, and it was more of a negative than a positive in my life. I probably owe that worthless piece of crap Currie a "thank you" for freeing me from caring and being let down, but even though I don't care anymore it's still a fact that he's the one who destroyed the men's basketball program. If you're a student at K-State or you have young kids I can see why you'd be a sports fan, but if you don't fit into those two categories sports don't really have anything to offer you. I'm posting this comment not as a "look at me, I'm too cool for school" but as an encouragement to others to just stop caring. It's very liberating. And with my free time and extra cash, I've rekindled my love of cars and have gotten more into that community. I purchased a first generation Mazda Miata last fall that needed some work and I spent the winter fixing and replacing a few things under the hood as well as putting on a new convertible top, and I've gotten closer with my neighbors and friends while doing the work. With cars there's still a lot of heartbreak and frustration as well as bloody knuckles and burned skin, but the payoff is so much better.

All of that other stuff sounds way worse than watching the cats. I'm sorry for your loss.
-
why would having young kids make you want to be a sports fan? they don't like watching sports. they like cartoons.
-
Sounds like a name change to "the apathetic young man" needs to happen.

I haven't attended or watched a single game since Weber was hired....and while it was refreshing to not have to drive an hour to and from games and I had a lot of free time during the winters, it's still depressing that what's happened to the men's basketball program is exactly what the anti-oscar people have said would happen. Both Weber and Currie need to be fired immediately.
This guys been struggling for awhile. :frown:

You could get so many board credits if you were able to fix a really oddball thing I mumped up on my jeep. How good are you?
-
I am giving this a whirl this year, I think.

this should be on the football board, i think. basketball has been trending up in enjoyment
-
you don't have to give it up, just switch sides.
-
I went to the tt football game last year and I cannot remember if the cats won or lost....might be Alzheimer's?
JUST REMEMBERED! Gave up 21 points in the first quarter and almost-ALMOST! won!

You ain't living if you don't get your bowels in an uproar ever so often, and have cussing fit that requires extra hours at.church. oscar cqn cause this, but there is some.not in cat bb and futballs
-
I watch hockey now. It makes me even more angry, but it feels good for some reason. :dunno:
-
Your wife or daughter will love the Miata
-
I still like K-State football and basketball along with the Royals. I always will. A Royals championship has helped with the mediocre K-State sports the last few years. I'm certain there will be more good/great K-State seasons in the sports I care about.

Yeah, rooting for the other team can be exhilarating. I still prefer whipping a bunch of ass, but rooting for us to lose is way more fun than being frustrated that we're not winning or just tuning out altogether.
-
I blame oscar for everything.

This. And not caring isn't really a choice; it just happens. Even when frustrated, I want the Cats to win. Some losses are harder to take than others. Better days ahead!

I agree, mocat

erii?

Kids sports have done this for me but I would like at least one of fb or bb to be good so my youngest gets the cat scratch fever, luckily my oldest was old enough for the CK years & Frank to get to the done.
-
Also I start looking every fall for project jetski to work on while enjoying Wyattvision but haven't yet
-
Maybe hoops needs its own Unsung Heroes thread.
I'll start. Sergio.
-
i feel like i'll always care, but until oscar is no longer the coach i won't be truly invested

My advice is to watch the Women's Basketball team. They are likely to get into the NCAA tournament this year.
