Title: We Must Protect This Titletown! (Titletown Defense Thread)
Post 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!

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

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

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.

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!

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?

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:

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.

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.

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.

I didn't want that feeling to ever end.
