We truly only seek to make the officials better at their job, and better human beings overall.

Any time an official sees me on the street wearing purple, they thank me for all we do for college basketball. It's nice.

They recognize that K-State is a tide that lifts all boats, it's good that they acknowledge that.

Inferior teams beat top ranked teams at home because it's human nature for the vastly more talented team to not take the vastly inferior opponent seriously enough.  The OU team that showed up in Manhattan was not mentally the same team that came to Lawrence.  Teams get pumped up to play KU home or away....they don't get pumped up to play teams like KSU.

Yep, zero incentive for Lon Kruger and Steve Henson to beat K-State in front of a packed house.

Oh so now you think you did us a favor?

OU should have steamrolled you by double digits,, it was more of their slipping up then it was you helped KU or anyone else in the Big 12.

So take your cocky arrogant attitude back to your boards

KU crowds always look so bored on TV.  Their tiny little student section crammed behind the basket just doesn't add much to a TV broadcast.

In contrast, the KSU wall of students cheering loudly the entire game is a much more exciting celebration of the sport on television. 

So, I think that adds to our reputation quite a bit.

The box score showed 26 fouls called on OU to 19 for the 'Taters. And KSU shooting 30 free throws to 17 for OU.

A quick check of the record shows, by contrast, a disparity of 27/18 on fouls called on KSU/KU. And 22/16 on free throw attempts in that 'travesty' of a game played in AFH last Wednesday.

Still wanna cry to us 'bout our being beneficiaries of that legendary Allen Field House 'home cookin', Cat fans?

So let me get this straight, perpetually butthurt about everything KU t-shirt nation (PBAEKUTSN) is back on the number of fouls kick?   

Let's see, we were more aggressive in taking it to the rack then OU, we were more aggressive after loose balls then OU, and we murdered them on the offensive glass which leads to more fouls and as stated, we had the lead forcing them to foul. 

Low b-ball IQ in PBAEKUTSN

I mentioned this in post game.  They practiced running to the students post game (coaches to shake hands) in order to keep students off the court.  The comment went on in a magical oscar-amble about how it's a shame we can't storm the court anymore and maybe they will allow it for a game down the road.  And then concluded with a I'll probably get in trouble for that type comment.

The Best Fans in America Showcase K-State Class
Like our parents always said, you never get a second chance to make a first impression, and after the Ole Miss win last Saturday, I received the following email from an Ole Miss fan living in Kansas who experienced K-State for the first time:

“I would like to tell you how impressed I was with the crowd and atmosphere at Saturday's basketball game against Ole Miss. I am a life-long Ole Miss fan and was fortunate to be able to bring my son with me to go to his first "Ole Miss game." The second we walked in we were welcomed with: "Welcome to K-State", "Enjoy Manhattan", "Good luck", "Enjoy the game" among many other positive welcomings. Of course there was some good-natured ribbing and the occasional joke of asking my son if he would prefer to wear purple so he could fit in, but not once was there any negative comments or slurs made towards us or the Ole Miss team by the students, fans and alumni. It was a wonderful experience and I know that I will come back for another game with the impact the people had on me and I know the impact was felt by my son. Thank you and your K-State family.”

It is uniquely K-State that the same fans that make the Octagon of Doom one of the loudest and most intimidating atmospheres in all of college basketball also create a respectful environment each and every week!

Next big win (KU?) students storm the court, maybe even chickenwings one of the lollygagging KU players.

Currie runs out from his lair and tries to force choke students who collectively point to oscar's comments about wanting to get court storming back.

One of the classiest moments I've ever witnessed at a game occurred last night. Things were not going the Cats' way, but at one juncture in the game the officials made a call and the crowd gave the referees a standing ovation. Those guys get booed a lot so it made me feel good that our fan base could make them feel appreciated in Bramlage Coliseum.

not sure what point it was in last night's game, but noted EMAW, so maybe not completely unbiased, Miles Simon, said the Bramlage crowd is as classy and knowledgeable as they come

I think it is pretty well known that at bball referee seminars they will often show entire K-State home games because the crowd identifies good and bad calls with 99.7% accuracy.

EMAW'ers of longstanding should all get comped one of those sleeves for giving currency to the Doom name. It would be a pretty classy move.

KU crowds always look so bored on TV.  Their tiny little student section crammed behind the basket just doesn't add much to a TV broadcast.

In contrast, the KSU wall of students cheering loudly the entire game is a much more exciting celebration of the sport on television. 

So, I think that adds to our reputation quite a bit.

Boring???    KU has the best atmosphere in the country by far....  always voted in the top 2 <
Your fans cheer just hoping for a win. Im mean really , turn the lights down so the rest of us cant see  the upper deck half empty. Oh unless Kansas is there then the farms shut down and everyone shows up ..
I think if you guys can somehow find a worthy coach someday ,maybe just maybe you might fill your barn to capacity like Allen has 242 straight games .  The Bram isnt even in the top 10, you guys are funny :billdance: :billdance: :billdance: :buh-bye:

I think Allen looks more like a barn than Bramlage, but I'm not a hayseed and pretty sure I've never been in a barn so maybe I'm mistaken.
