Title: The great goEMAW history of the _|mm|_
Post by: GregKSU1027 on September 06, 2021, 09:52:26 PM
Hey guys, I feel like this thread would be a great thread to really nail down the origin of the LynchMob known as K-State’s dominant defense through Snyder 1.0. So i have a few questions to start the thread off.

 Does the name LynchMob derive from Ice Cube’s infamous tune “Steady Mobbin’”?

What player or fan or maybe even journalist coined the term LynchMob for the defense?

Again i am curious as this was before my time, not goEMAWing here. I want to get the story straight so I can tell my peers the truth. What better site to write this book than goEMAW.com …

Great questions and thread, Greg.

I can’t speak to who was the founder of the mob (no one embodied it more than Josh Buhl), but I do believe Ice Cube’s music was the inspiration.

rough ridin' lynch mob man. One of the coolest things ever

Hip replaced in Jan 2020.  No infection here.

Unfortunately memory is fading so origins of mob are fuzzy.  Let me do some research.

Like, the overlap of people with a deep knowledge of KSU defense nickname history that also worry about offending people with something like this (or would be offended) is really small. EPAW honestly probably doesn't have the knowledge I possess.

I was watching the game with my townie brother and commented on the lynch mob sign and he said it is now "mob mentality" which I guess is supposed to be less offensive but I don't know, man.

Lynch Mob needs to go away for obvious racism reasons and we should replace it with Flash Mob.  the celebration we and the players do is much more impromptu (exactly like a flash mob) and fun! (unlike a lynch mob which would not be fun :(  ). 

for 2021’s ballot, I vote Lynch Mob out and Flash Mob in.  we can use the same hand symbol until the kids learn how to do an F with their fingers

Lunch Mob is hilarious. Lynch Mob is obviously an insane thing to say outloud in 2021. Or even like 2001. I remember even in the ‘90s, a few years after the name was coined, reading letters to the editor talking about how the name Lynch Mob was problematic, offensive, portrayed us in a racist light, etc. The counter was always “but this name was started by African-American players, so it’s okay!” Then I heard this in casual convo this summer…As if some dudes doing something in the 90’s automatically means every player who comes after them for decades and decades is required to co-sign on something that is so very Eeeee ferget it. Lunch Mob it is.

MANHATTAN Tony Williams, Kansas State's 295-pound defensive lineman, had just fought off his block when he looked up and saw the ball bouncing around in the end zone.

The ball was huge, bigger than it had ever looked. Williams got excited. He jumped on it.

Touchdown.

It didn't matter much to the outcome of the game. K-State was already well into its 41-7 victory over Idaho State on Saturday night at KSU Stadium.

Who cared? Williams was giddy.

"I jumped on it, then everybody jumped on me," he said. "That was my first touchdown. Ever. I didn't play football in high school until my junior year. I was in the band, actually. I played tuba.

"Anyway, I was just trying to get away from everybody. I was a little out of control when it hit me. Touchdown. Six points. I high-stepped and kicked my feet. I wanted to dance."

It was that kind of day for the Wildcats.

This was more like it.

Interception, touchdown. Interception, touchdown. Interception, touchdown. Fumble, touchdown.

And K-State was the one getting the touchdowns.

When you schedule a small college team, you're supposed to do this. And it was a relief after last week's one-point win over Division I-AA Indiana State.

This time, K-State blew out a bad team instead of just squeaking past one.

"We had a lot of fun," said K-State safety Jaime Mendez, who was embarrassed by the way the defensive backs played last week. "We were looking at each other eye to eye."

The Wildcats started the season 2-0 for just the third time since 1975.

The defense lived up to its self-appointed nickname, "Lynch Mob."

Michael Smith broke the school's career receiving record. He had three catches to give him 129 for his career and passed Dave Jones, who caught 127 from 1966 to 1968. Freshman tailback J.J. Smith ran for a 72-yard touchdown on the first carry of his career.

And fans were having so much fun they found time for a little heckling, making fun of the name of Idaho State linebacker Mahe Liava'a pronounced Maha Liavaha.

Everything seemed to work.

But then there were the always sobering words of K-State coach LHC Bill Snyder, who calmly told Williams after the touchdown, "Good job, Tony."

Williams said, "You know how Coach Snyder is."

Coach, was this week a little more fun?

"Well, I'm not quite as angry as I was last week," he said. "I was pleased we came back in the second half and put some points on the board. But for the second week in a row, we lacked poise. We made some silly mistakes."

Ten penalties. A botched reverse. And a fumble.

But that was it.

The Wildcats went 71 yards for a touchdown on their first drive of the game. Quarterback Paul Watson scored on a 4-yard run.

BUT IN MY SEARCH MAN THESE MASCOTS

Top-Rated Redmen Hold Off Savages, 15-6

DURANT - If it isn't one Derrick, it was another Derrick

as top-rated Northeastern State survived No. 11 Southeastern State's upset football bid 15-6 before a homecoming crowd of 4,100 at Paul Laird Field Saturday.

Both NSU's touchdowns came on "home run" plays in the

first half.

Northeastern trailed the Savages in the opening minutes

as Southeastern went 66 yards in seven plays on their first possession.

The Redmen's Derrick Moore and Derrick Jacobs then turned in touchdown scampers of 35 and 71 yards respectively to

put Northeastern on top.

Moore on a fourth and one situation at the Southeastern 35 made good use of his offensive line's blocks and reached the end zone to forge a 6-6 deadlock with 1:55 left in the first quarter.

"I thought we had Moore hemmed in," said Southeastern

coach Morris Sloan. "Instead, we got blocked out it."

Then Jacobs, a 5-9 tailback from Mansfield, La., took a screen pass from quarterback Joe Volentine to scamper 71

yards to score.

The victory boosted NSU's record to 8-0 overall and 3-0 atop the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference.

There wasn't a moment of relaxation for the Redmen until David Winchester kicked a 28-yard field goal with 12:42

left.

The Savages came out passing from the outset as quarterback Richie Gandy completed four passes for a total 50 yards,

the last a 17-yard connection to Eric Knight for a touchdown, 2:49 into the battle of NAIA Division I titans. A bad snap from center prevented the extra point attempt.

Southeastern is the first team to connect on a TD pass against NSU this season.

That was to be a hint of things to come from the Savages as NSU's "Lynch Mob" held Southeastern to 79 yards on

the ground.


Each team was guilty of two fumbles and two interceptions.

"I thought 17 points would win this game," said NSU coach Tom Eckert afterward.

Moore, the second best rusher in NAIA Division I, carried 27 times for 135 yards. Volentine followed with 17 carries for 114 yards.

Volentine had runs of 61 and 57 yards to get the Redmen out of poor field position. His first scamper came late

in the third quarter setting up Winchester's field goal

and his second resulted in a fumble after being hit at the Southeastern five.

The Savages came out in the final half the way they started the game. Gandy mixed his passes of 7 and 15 yards to Tony Brown with the running of Corey Ransom to drive the Savages to the NSU 35. On a fourth-and-nine situation Southeastern elected to throw a pass instead of a field goal attempt.

The pass fell incomplete.

"If I had that to do again," said Sloan, "I'd have tried a field goal. I knew I was still in the game."

The Redmen dealt Sloan his worst loss - by nine points - in his three years at the Southeastern helm.

The Redmen had a total offense of 439 yards to 209 for Savages.

Northeastern head coach Tom Eckert welcomes next Saturday's open date.

"We're bruised up now, and we need to get well," said

Eckert who lauded the play of Volentine. "He's a great

player who gets things done."

I met Rodman in a bar in the middle of the Denver airport last year. He was traveling with that plastically enhanced girlfriend of his. I wanted to ask him what North Korea was like but chickened out as my flight was called and I had finished my whiskey.

He's supposedly a nice dude away from cameras, you missed out on an all-time story.

 William “T” Price coined the term in the 1991 pre-season. CJ Masters may have had some input.

So obviously just because I am a senior  citizen doesn't mean I know crap about the origins of our Defenses chosen nickname, but surprised it's traced back to 91.


Isn't there a thread on here about the origins of PGRTR?  Thinking Erick Hickson with inspiration from George Clinton?

You're thinking LRWTP and I think it was actually pissclams, not George Clinton.

My mother-in-law was lamenting how "cocky" the players seem this year. "Just make the play and move on, fellas."

Are Smith Center still the Redmen?

Right after the stubbifield sack in the 2nd Q they went to a crowd shot where it looked like a girl was being taught how to throw up the LynchMob sign by her friends. She had made two L symbols and was crossing them awkwardly while looking at her friends who were already throwing up the sign.

Was very LOL

Or what if we stop the cancel culture nonsense and let the players call it what they want. If it's just the mob, so be it.

This reminds me of a tale from my life. I used to live across the street from Robert E. Lee Elementary. After the Charleston shooting, the school changed its name to Russell Lee Elementary. Messr. Lee was apparently a photographer from the neighborhood who founded UT's photography program. I guess that way they didn't have to order new stationery?

Are they being cancelled?

Obviously they’re going to call it what they’re going to call it, but I don’t think that means everyone else has to play along if what they call it is offensive to like a ton of people.

This defense is really really good. Strong had to regularly go through multiple progressions and throw to check down receivers. Someone mentioned it in another thread but their offense is predicated on making big throws and we gave him one and it was a prefect throw into coverage that allowed it to happen.

It was frustrating in the first half when they kept converting 3rd and 4th and shorts in the wildcat but that kid ruining it was a freaking truck and I don't think he ever got more than 2 yards.

What I don't get is they said their wildcat QB weighed 240lbs, and Klieman says Howard weighs 240lbs.  They sure don't look the same size.  :dunno:

That’s a relief. Plus if it’s serious, it’s early enough for him to get a year back. I thought him and Rivas being hurt might be a reason for the +9 line but I guess Vegas is dumb sometimes.
