Great read - haven't seen posted yet.

http://www.kansan.com/news/2010/mar/03/truth-about-state-traditions
"Editor's note: In honor of the Kansas State men's basketball game Wednesday, The Kansan took a light-hearted look at some of K-State's "traditions."
tra-di-tion
* a long-established or inherited way of thinking or acting.
* a continuing pattern of culture beliefs or practices.
The University of Kansas knows what it means to have tradition. The name Jayhawk was used to describe people who fought to make Kansas a free state, or free from slavery, as far back as the 1850s. That name has been used in the Rock Chalk Chant since its creation in 1886. The chant has been sung at sporting events ever since and according to legend, it was sung by American troops in World War II. The University has held these types of traditions for more than 100 years.
But it’s difficult to apply that same term — tradition — to K-State when half of its traditions have been created in the past 20 years. Each one is an attempt to fill the void left by the last lackluster ritual in the university’s 147-year history.
Octagon of Doom
Because we all know octagons are the most intimidating of the polygons. Let’s be honest, no one is going to take “Triangle of Death” seriously. It’s just science.
Willie the Wildcat
The KSU mascot used to be a dog, now it’s a cat. Sticking with the traditional household pet theme, perhaps KSU will instate a guinea pig as its next mascot. (Editor’s note:There’s already a series of terrible guinea pig promotional videos the school could capitalize on.)
EMAW
Oh dear God, what have they come up with now? No it’s not an ewok’s long-lost cousin, it’s the latest slogan plastered across K-State billboards and websites – Every Man a Wildcat. The slogan even has its own fan website, so it must be good, right?
YouTube Video
K-State's Power Towels
Power towels
This is Ron Princes’s failed attempt to start a new K-State tradition complete with a bad promotional video. We’d say more but the video speaks for itself.
The other wildcat
Emulating other Universities that have live mascots as a part of school tradition, K-State attempted to incorporate its own: a bobcat named, Touchdown I (since there’s no such thing as a “wildcat.”) Unfortunately, the bobcat hadn’t even made it to Manhattan when it was attacked and fatally injured by a porcupine.
In conclusion….
There seems to be an ongoing theme with these K-State “traditions": They quickly die off. K-State fans have long lost or burned their power towels and Willie’s head once went missing for more than two years. For the sake of our state’s reputation we can only hope the “Octagon of Doom” and “EMAW” meet a similar fate.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk."

In all seriousness, winning this game would actually hurt us in the long run.
I'm mean just think about it...it really would, seriously.
We need a good ol fashioned Wooly Wuppin to get us nice and angry for the tourney.

per the Big 12 itself..
http://www.big12sports.com/fls/10410/pdfs/mbasketball/Big_12_MBB_Update.pdf
The Big 12 has six teams in the top 25 and seven in the top 40 of the latest RPI.
Both totals are the most of any conference. The Big 12 is ranked as the No. 112 itself
conference in both the RPI and Sagarin Ratings.
The Big 12 is 142-31 (.821) in non-conference play in 2009-10, including 8-6
versus Associated Press top 25 opponents. The .821 winning percentage is the
best in the nation.
The Big 12 has seven teams with 20 wins or more - the most of any conference
in the nation. The Big 12 was the first league this season to have every team
post a double-digit victory total.
The Big 12 is 163-29 (.849) at home this season, the best home record of any
conference in the nation. In non-conference play, the league is 106-1. The best
overall Big 12 home record prior to this year was in 2002-03 (152-36, .809) - a
campaign that saw two league squads reach the Final Four.
The Big 12 has seven teams with winning percentages of .714 or better, the
most of any conference. Ten squads have records at .500 or better.
The 141 non-conference wins by the Big 12 is a league record for the most in
regular-season play. The non-conference winning percentage (.821) would
also be a Big 12 record.
At least four league teams have been ranked in the top 25 each of the past 12
weeks. Seven different conference squads have been in the top 25 at some
point this year - the most in one season in Big 12 history.
The Big 12 has a .500 or better record against 27 of the 29 conferences it has
faced in non-league play this season.
Four Big 12 teams were rated in the top 11 nationally in scoring in the latest
NCAA rankings - more than any other conference.

Losing Stafford definitely gives an even bigger advantage down low. We already have them on depth in the post, and now they'll be more sensitive to foul trouble with only bowers and ramsey left to carry the load. Given our style of offensive play and Mizzou's aggressive pressure defense, I think it could be long night for the tigers due to foul trouble.

he is a lottery pick. Unless, of course, he leaves this year (in which case he'd probably still go late second round). Or maybe not? but still...where do you predict everyone will be drafted when they leave?
Clemente - Late 2nd round this year, but probably not
Pullen - Lottery Pick next yr
Kelly- Early 2nd round next yr
Mcgruder - Late 1st round after Jr year or late 2nd round if senior
Judge - Late 1st round after Sr year
Colon - Drafted by uber elite European body guard agency
Roberts - Mid 2nd round Sr yr
Russel - ConocoPhillips
Irving - 3rd round NFL Draft - Tampa Bay
Sutton - Probably coaching
Ojeleye - Too smart to tell...

root for tejas
KU still has two legitimate chances to lose on the road @ A&M (29-2 home record) and MU.
Say they lose tonight and A&M (approx 10% chance according to Kenpom)
If we beat them at the PHAG and win out the rest of our games they will have to win on the road at MU to keep conference title...
Chance of all of this happening...probably about the same as passing healthcare reform.
