Title: Things you adore about being a Wildcat!!!
Post by: PoetWarrior on June 24, 2010, 01:51:25 PM
Walking onto the streets of Dodge City, KS,  USA and yelling at the top of my lungs, "It's a great day to be a Wildcat! Join Me, All!".  Then marching down Wyatt Earp Boulevard with all of my fellow cowboy Cats, singing Wildcat Victory deep into the night, eventually nestling down in a milo field. The next morning, we're all soothed back to consciousness by the sweet smell of money.

OR

On a sticky September night, as the moths buzz around the lights high over head, sitting in Section 13, Row 38 of LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium and as Carson and the Cats put another one on the board against the UMASS Minutemen, looking out of the back of the north endzone funzone imagining that if you willed it, you might possibly be able to move one of the radio towers on top of the hill.

Perhaps

It's 7:58 AM as you enter your mid-sized corporation, where you work in insurance, you see the small, pudgy KU fan with a mustache, who likes to rib you. He says something about how Kansas State is, "just a little farm school and we'll never be able to compete with the iron-clad Hawks". You don't really have a response because you're not especially quick-witted, but as you walk away you take great solace in the fact that you're a Wildcat, you always have been and you always will be, and that's enough.

FAITHFUL TO OUR COLORS, MAN!

Alongside your 12 year old son, you're driving west on I-70 to the family farm. He's having second thoughts about being forced into EMAW. He starts to question you: bringing up the fact KSU is third tier, regarded as a bottom feeder in the big 12, has one of the worst football programs in history, is always in the shadow of KU hoops. Angry but calm, you roll up the windows and pull out your wildcat flag that has been flapping for hundreds of miles since exit 303. You gently put it on his lap and point to a silo with a gigantic powercat painted on, followed with the caption "Kansas State Country." You turn to your kid and say, "Son. This is why we are wildcats. Hard work, pride, the heart of this country. And if that's not enough for you, you can just move to California with your punk friends."

You're a 23 year old fresh out of Kansas State sporting your hip and fresh "College of Engineering" degree. With this degree, you've landed a sweet job in Kansas City at Sprint. By the end of the third week, you realize you've gone to the Legends with your coworkers for dinner every other day since you've started work. You kill yourself immediately.

Joining together, arm in arm, with your fellow Cat fans on an internet message board. Most of them you know in real life, the ones you don't, you're not a huge fan of. You laugh, you cry, but most of all you fall into group think and blindly follow the one in front of you right off a cliff. When you awake from your mental coma, battered and bruised, you ask yourself, "Who am I really?, "What am I living for?" You answer yourself, "I'm a Wildcat and I'd do it all over again without changing a thing." This thought is enough to console you for a while, but the permanent damage you've done will haunt you for the rest of your life.

You get to enjoy that for a while longer when sitting at LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium.

However, you need to get that out of your system before November rolls around.  As of Nov(BB season) you need to act like we have been there before and start being upset if the victory wasn't pretty enough.

My warmed-up tractor is a buffer for me from the evil that is the rest of the world of college sports fans and anti-fans that think K-State is just another garbage school; when, in reality, we are the epitome of the American dream and they are all just commie bastards. :kstatriot:

She has seen it all.  From the seething throngs of Ahearn to the DoD era KSU stadium crowds, from beating Texas in all sports to owning Pete Carroll and the USC Trojans, there isn't another school that embodies the underdog spirit as perfectly as Kansas State University.  The fit is akin to a perfectly sized Isotoner glove on a cold hand, and it is a fit that EMAWs nation wide wouldn't trade for the world.  The sons and daughters of the Kansas plains, from Osawatomie to Sharon Springs, from Arkansas City to Concordia watch as she fights for victory against the biggest and best college sports has to offer.  Never mind the her Wildcats are normally outfunded, outnumbered, and generally outmanned by most opponents via endowment, enrollment and alumni base.  No other school fights the way she fight and no other fanbase believes the way her's believes.  That is why we lover her, that is why we EMAW has rung true for generations.  "Fighting ever fighting for a Wildcat Victory" the song says.  It is that fight that is our common bond, it is that fight which makes us Wildcats.   :combofan:

Would make an incredible recruiting commercial. Of course you would have a strategically placed Dr Pepper.
