TITLETOWN - A Decade Long Celebration Of The Greatest Achievement In College Athletics History => Kansas State Football => Topic started by: ben ji on December 30, 2013, 10:22:13 AM

As everyone here is well aware Kansas State University pulled off a historic coup last season by stealing the Titletown crown from Texas. Before this historic season the Titletown crown had resided in Austin since 2006 when the Longhorns stole the crown away from Stanford(Titletown Champion in 2000).
The question is will any team be able to steal Titletown away from the Katz? Conference Realignment has certainly helped the Katz defense of Titletown by increasing the size of every conference except the big12.
Lets take a look at this years contenders!
FBall Bball(Current Ranking) Baseball(Last Season)
Pac12 Stanford 9-3 5th
Big12 Baylor 10-1(#12) 5th
Big10 Mich St 11-1(#5) 7th
ACC FSU 8-3 2nd
SEC Auburn 6-3 12th
Teams to Keep an eye on
Michigan St- The Spartans are the favorite to win the Big10 in bball which would give them the vaunted 2maw. If they are serious about taking the Titletown crown from us they will need their baseball team to step up after finishing 7th last year. They did win a baseball conference title in 2011 so it is not out of the realm of possibility.
Baylor- The Bears have never won a title in Bball but Scott Drew has the boys playing well this year(Ranked 12th). It is doubtful that they can win the big12 over OSU/KU but we need to keep an eye on their progress. I don't really know anything about their baseball team but we can worry about that if and when the time comes.
Florida State- The Seminoles are pretty salty in Fball and Baseball but I'm having a real hard time imagining them winning the ACC in bball. If that happens we may have to batten down the hatches and go to defcon 2 during baseball season.
Once every squad has been eliminated from Titletown contention you know what to do!

Titletown is an elite fraternity. No need to protect it. If someone earns entry then Good for them.

Do the 72 dolphins cheer for other teams to go Undefeated? Nope, didn't think so.

Having some more bluebloods in the clubhouse wouldn't be bad, but definitely no Baylor scrubs getting in.

Titletown already had citizens before is bro.

None of those teams have a chance.

In all honesty, I'd be happy if we are the reigning Titlestown champs forever.

UPDATE-
Only one real challenger this year and that is Michigan State.
They are currently 9-2 and tied for 1st in the big 10 with Michigan. Iowa is 2 games back and Wisconsin is 3 games back.
MSU's upcoming schedule includes puds like Nub/NU/Purdue and it all may come down to their February 23rd game against Michigan.
LETS GO BIG BLUE!

How is Michigan State's baseball team? Do colleges in Michigan have baseball or is it all hockey and lacrosse?
-
not even sweating this one. better luck next year every other college in the united states of america!

Pete, we are very good :surprised:
yeah, sd beat me to this but I can help you with a quick flow chart for determining who is good in a sport.
Is it a sport that Kansas State University participates in?
If the answer is "yes", one of the good teams in that sport is Kansas State University
If the answer is "no", no one gives a crap
keep that in your wallet

When Samuel L Jackson asks "What's in YOUR wallet?", should we tell him about this?

Correct. You cant even think about stealing titletown away from the cats unless you win the title in America's favorite sport.
-
i've always said, and i still hold this to be true, the best part of the titletown chase is the immediacy of it all. fall semester starts and then boom, four months later you're down to just four schools with a shot of stealing the titletown tag. it's just an opening shot of adrenaline. always so fun. like getting shot out of a cannon.

Sorry for using the wrong board guys.(not really sorry)

After how pathetic and losery all other schools look trying to quest for titletown, this year, will we ever lose titletown? Serious question.

I don't think you ever lose Titletown; unless you want to make a belt or crown or something for it.

Remember what felt like before titletown? Nope, me either. :gocho:

Hats off to Mich State for making a run at #Titletown. They gave a galant try but let's be honest, they only made it 1/3 of the way there.

doesn't at least one team from each conference make it at least 1/3rd of the way there, every season?

We don't even have to sweat out a baseball season. So blessed.

Maybe if someone gets football & basketball then? I mean that's pretty special, but nowhere near Titletown improbability.

Have you ever played a video game with your buddy and they are terrible but you let them win a game every once in a while just because you dont want them to get discouraged and quit?
Yeah, pretty much what we will be doing for the next infinity years.

the amazon? cause i'm pretty sure that fork was his face and mouth and if we ever would've played i would king slendered your ass.
-
Hey look, king slender wants me to fork his face for a 10 count
-
Well, I just watched it on YouTube and the cop was right. Amazon eats face, still rules KS
-
i mean i think of someone picking the amazon and i just kind of have to laugh but hey it takes all sorts of people to make up this world so who am i to judge. it's like i'm titletown king slender cats and you are some fish that tries to chew on peoples faces.

It's ok Limestone, cops always win(cheat)

My friend would get so mad because he couldn't stop my somersault kicks, so he made a "No Star Man" rule. :frown:

King boring is the cop's favorite character. No one is surprised

Is it possible for NDSU to take the title town crown if it wins it's conference in baseball this year? This caught my attention after they beat OU in the round of 64.

a #TITLETOWN requires being from a Power Conference.

Think about it though; they are division 1. They did win conference championships in basketball and football. They also won a national championship in football and beat LHC LHC Bill Snyder's Wildcats in Manhattan. If they win the Summit League in baseball and earn a berth to a NCAA regional I think they deserve it. That's gameday bucket go boom!
-
Good grief MouseRat, do you know how sports work or no?
-
Yeah, blue vally NW had a good year, not titletown tho.
-
Alright guyz, time to fire this thread back up and cheer for the katz to keep Titletown in manhattan.
Lets take a look at our contenders this year.
FBall Bball(Current Ranking) Baseball(Last Season)
Pac12 Oregon 9-3 3rd
Big12 Baylor 10-1 (#22) 7th
TCU 12-0(#25) 2nd
Big10 Ohio State 9-2(#21) 7th
ACC FSU 7-5 2nd
SEC Alabama 8-3 8th
Right off the bat we can throw Alabama out of the mix because there is no way they will beat out Kentucky for the Bball title(step 2 in Titletown domination).
Things arent looking too great for FSU either. Despite having a solid baseball program their bball team is garbage.
Now lets take a look at this years Titletown Contenders.
Oregon- The ducks captured a #1maw with a win in the pac12 championship game against Arizona. If former cat Dana Altman can lead the ducks to a #2maw during bball season they could be a real contender as their baseball team is expected to start the year out ranked.
Baylor- The biggest obstacle for Baylor in their quest to capture a Titletown is Bill Self. Even if Scott Drew can coach em up and knock off Kansas they face an uphill battle during baseball season.
TCU- Commuter Aggie has started out strong this bball season with a 12-0 record including wins over both Mississippi schools and Wash St. Doubts remain about their ability to compete in the big12 but if they were to pull it off their baseball team has a great chance to seal a Titletown in the spring.
Ohio State- Out of all the teams listed the Buckeyes have the best shot at a #2maw as their bball team is always salty and currently ranked #21. They may end up playing #6 Wisconsin for the BIG title on the last game of the year. The good news for us kat fans is that their baseball team sucks and probably wont win the BIG baseball title.
So what do you guys think? Is there a team we should be worried about? Who has the best shot at taking Titletown away from us?
-
Oregon, by and large.
-
Welp, we can forget about this thread for another year and continue party bumping our faces off.
FB Champs
Alabama
Penn St
Clemson
Washington
Oklahoma
Of these puds schools only Alabama has an outside shot at winning their conference. They are currently 7-4 in conference play behind 3 teams that are 9-2(UK,FL,USCjr)
Can't wait to buy some shots for my bros when Bama is officially eliminated. :Woohoo: :Woot: :excited: :weirdrobert: :bartender: :bigtoke:
-
LOL, can't even take the second leg of a Title Town run. What loser schools- I would like to laugh in all their faces and then take their girls
-
Not sure I'd want the girls from a school that can't even titletown

It's men's sports titletown, tho. Those girls deserve championship male companionship, and these loser schools can't provide it.
Let's go give their women what they deserve.

Oh, I got ya bud
-
Uh, so how good is Alabama baseball this year? Really hoping we can hold on to this Titletown for another year.
-
That league is incredibly good this year. Bama has a good team with one of the best starting pitchers in the country. They'll make noise, but it's highly unlikely they win the conference.
-
Uh, so how good is Alabama baseball this year? Really hoping we can hold on to this Titletown for another year.
There are probably 10 teams better than them in the SEC.
-

They're pretty damn solid, but currently in 9th and 4 games out of first. Titletown should be safe unless they get really hott.

Still nobody? LMFAO
-
Remember when we titletown'd? WOW
-
I remember the crap out of it.
-
I remembered its face off.

I remembered it last night and again this morning.

I didn't want that feeling to ever end.

Imagine if your school's rebel bbs didn't have a defending Titletown thread to bump every year? woof

How many titletown babies do you think there are? Enrollment will prob be up significantly in 2032.
