Can't wait to get Claws in here and infuse some good ol' fashioned Kansas work ethic to this basketball team!

There is seriously a thread on GPC right now about whether he'll be as good as Christian Laetner (because white, duh), and whether he'll be able to teach our team (ya know, black people) "the Kansas work ethic" (in other words, how to work like a white person).
I shouldn't be surprised that showed up on GPC, but they never cease to amaze.
Please tell me that they referenced Arthur Brown as a positive example. Please. Give me a shred of hope.

You got it all wrong. That train of thought isn't racist against black people, it is racist against white people. They're assuming the only way a white guy could make a D1 team like K-State is if he has a really good work ethic.

Good shooter. Plays on the perimeter a lot for a guys that's at least 6" taller than anyone else on the court. Played the middle of a 2-3 zone at the start of the game. Rebounding skills? Seems like he could be a good entry passer. Was guarding the other team's guard/ wing when in man to man.

In the semis on Friday he showed the ability to finish with both hands around the basket. In one sequence he made back to back baskets using his left hand.
Again, very hard to assess since he was so much taller than everyone. It was really easy for him to catch the ball in the post and score over someone without a double team. His team was also good enough that if he was being doubled they would pass the ball to the open guy and score without going through DW.
In retrospect I wish his team sucked so they had to use him more.

If you divide the state in to two equal pieces St. Johns would fall in the western of the two. But, the debate really comes down to the mentality and lifestyle that is labeled as "western Kansas". No matter where St Johns is on the map, it is my humble opinion that it has the mentality and lifestyle expected from a western Kansas town.

Yep and I won the debate, the western/central Kansas border is a straight line south to north from Barber County to Smith County. Dumbass Pawnee County messes the straight line up but there is no doubt Pawnee County is Western KS

MIR's line is good and similar what I always thought. His opinion holds more weight than that of Easterners. I always thought of Hays as the Gateway to Western Kansas, at least along I-70.

Hays, aka Highway 183 is not and cannot be the line. Wars have been fought over things less important than Larned and Greensburg. This is absolutely a non starter

I grew up in north central Kansas (almost straight north of St John). I think most people from the central part of the state divide the state into thirds. Western Kansas starts at a line that runs through Hays. JMHO.
:lol:
no way it's way east of that. we had this discussion in a bball chat, I believe. @tobias might remember.
We did, and solved it I think. Basketball chat is very productive.
Yep and I won the debate, the western/central Kansas border is a straight line south to north from Barber County to Smith County. Dumbass Pawnee County messes the straight line up but there is no doubt Pawnee County is Western KS

This is 100% correct. Hays was my rough divider, but MIR nailed it.

It was just the unofficial marker of where I felt like I was in Western Kansas traveling that way as a kid. Russell felt that way as well, but Hays is bigger.
Edit: Like I said earlier, you're a better authority on this issue. The unbiased take of a true Western Kansas is worth its weight in Buffalo Nickels (when they were worth money) in this convo.

Central KS is worse than Western KS. It includes Salina and Wichita. It's interesting to me that so many from Western KS want to be grouped with Salina.
There isn't a true western Kansan itt or in life who groups Salina into WKS, that's a NEKS trick, we know better.

Hutch is really the enigma. You can really only easily go places west from Hutch. The Interstate ignored them for a reason. They literally only got a four lane highway into town like 2 years ago. They just don't fit the I-135/US 81 corridor and stick out like a sore thumb.
Yet its about the biggest KU hive west of Lawrence. Thinking its a generational and collective attempt at transference to cover up their self loathing.
I'm no Hutch apologist, but that's literally not true. When I think of Western Kansas, I think of economies largely based on agriculture, and that's just not the case with Hutch. I spent much of my childhood there, and I didn't know a single farmer and in fact never stepped foot on a farm (Did go to an emu farm for a field trip, once). Whatever Wichita is, that's basically what Hutch is. Wichita is our NYC, and we are northern New Jersey.

They were, back when interstate banking was prohibited, the financial center for farming. Once that prohibition went away - they lost that identity. There's not much there that was thriving 40 years ago - salt production and ?
There just isn't anything that screams "This is Hutchinson"....
And K-96/US50/K61 to the west didn't build to Hutch - they stayed at arm's length several miles south so people could bypass Hutch. It wasn't until K-61 north to - I-135 - and McPherson that a modern highway actually came in to Hutch.

The Cosmosphere has always been good. Haven't been to the fair in ages. I really hope the tournament stays around - that's been fun to attend the couple of times I've gone. Did they get the requested improvements planned out and underway enough to extend the contract? That truly is a nice thing to have.

The history of Hutchinson is a list of missed opportunities that could have made it the biggest city in Kansas. Instead it is a nice restaurant and retirement community great for raising families.
Fair to note that there are many from Hutchinson who claim that it is the real version of Smallville. So it is the "home of Superman" as well.

The Smallville thing and that (false) state fair v. University legend are both very good examples of the Hutch mentality. KU was founded in 1863, a full 8 years before Hutchinson.

Quote from: wikipedia
The early years of the institution witnessed debate over whether the college should provide a focused agricultural education or a full liberal arts education. During this era, the tenor of the school shifted with the tenure of college presidents. For example, President John A. Anderson (1873–1879) favored a limited education and President George T. Fairchild (1879–1897) favored a classic liberal education.[8][13] Fairchild was credited with saying, "Our college exists not so much to make men farmers as to make farmers men."[8]

Hutch is where people from Western Kansas move to when they want to be close to doctors but don't want to live in the city (aka Wichita).
I can live with that. The medical services in Hutchinson are actually really good. (perhaps because there are so many retirees) It isn't podunk (has stores and restaurants you expect from a bigger city) but it maintains that small community feel. Win win for families if you ask me.
I wonder how Marcus would have turned out if he was from Hutch. Probably a football stud. Just a guess though.

Hutchinson is a city of the first class with a council-manager form of government.[31] The city council consists of five members. For purposes of representation in the council, the city is divided into four districts with one council member elected to a four-year term from each district. The fifth council member is elected at-large to a two-year term. Every year, the council selects one member to serve as mayor and another as vice-mayor. Council members are term limited and may not serve for more than one partial term plus two consecutive four-year terms. The council sets policy for the city and oversees the city manager who executes those policies. Hired by the council, the city manager serves as the city's chief administrative officer, administers the city budget, and conducts daily city business. Council meetings occur on the first and third Tuesday of each month, broadcast live on local cable channel 7.[32]
As the county seat, Hutchinson is the administrative center of Reno County. The county courthouse is located downtown, and all departments of the county government base their operations in the city.[33]
From About.com:

In the United States, an incorporated city is a legally defined government entity, with powers delegated by the state and county and created and approved by the voters of the city. It can provide local government services to its citizens.

What if I told you western Kansas was part of the West, but eastern Kansas was part of the Midwest? :surprised:

Rural Kansans referring to towns of ~50,000 like MHK as "the city" and Wichita as "the big city" was always super fascinating/hilarious to me
If you grew up in a town of twofiddy, you'd understand.

Dad's Family - Western KS folk (Thomas County)

Rough dividing line goes
Eastern KS- Topeka and everything east.
Central KS- Everything between Hays and Topeka
Western KS- Everything west of hays

I think that before the Colorado Water Pirates drained the arKansas river, Great Bend was probably central kansas but it is now hard to argue that Great Bend isn't Western Kansas. Anything west of Great Bend is clearly Western Kansas like Lacrosse, Larned, Greensburg, Russell.
Anyway thanks to oscar for making us twiddle our thumbs and argue about Kansas Geography instead of something fun...... :Carl:

riley county isn't central kansas. jesus rough ridin' christ, what a ridiculous notion.
The northern half of Kansas doesn't even have a central Kansas!
When I was close to the western KS line, a huge mental boundary to Western Kansas was leaving the reach of Wichita radio stations. So like, Pratt was the first Western Kansas town, which pretty much supports MiR's Barber to Jewell county line assertion. Further north, past 135/Salina became western KS. North of Salina? who cares

if you made a venn diagram of central kansas and western kansas, the entire central kansas circle would be inside the western kansas circle.
You clearly have never spent any time whatsoever in western Kansas.

Central Kansas is a rectangle that goes from Wichita up to Salina. Coffeeville is in eastern Kansas. It's not like eastern Kansas is some mecca that is too good for Topeka.

One COULD make an argument that eastern KS should start at Manhattan but i would argue that once you get west of Topeka tall grass prairie takes over and trees become scarce.
