Kansas State Football / Re: does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program
« on: December 08, 2011, 02:09:50 PM »I just wanna lay it down so we can have a better understanding of each one another. I know you guys like to have your fun and lots of what you say are jokes, but in Arkansas ( btw we don't like being called Arkies or Arky) aren't really used to that kind of thing. It's no secret that Arkansas is a poor state and has some of the worst education in the country. I'm sure there are many reasons for these things that we don't need to go into here and I don't fully understand anyway. But what I'm saying is the Hogs mean a whole helluva lot to people in this state. You guys up there have pro teams, several college teams, we have the Hogs and that's it. So when someone makes fun of them, even jokingly, people down here take it real personally like it's a family member. And they really aren't used to the kind of sarcasm that your forum employs. Especially when it comes to stuff like a player that died that hurts a lot. People down here tend to be very religous and earnest. So when you have hog fans coming on here who don't realize the joke, they seem stupid but really they're just ignorant and lacking exposure. But anyway Arkansas is a good state that has it's share of smart people as well as a few racists and rednecks assholes. But I like to think we give everyone a fair shot whether they're White or mexican(legals anyway) or blacks. In the end you can run your board the way you want to but the kind of reaction you got is probably what your looking for anyways, but if you do want to stop buy an Arkansas board feel free as long as you leave your type of humor here and just want some good honest discussion. This will probably be my only post here because I don't feel at home here but I wanted to give a little insight and maybe extend and olive tree.
Peace out and WPS!!!!!!!!
Thanks for that clarification. War Pig Sooie right back atcha!
Does Kansas have a pro team? Kansas City Chiefs/Royals are in Missouri right? They are as close (miles wise) to a pro team as Arkansas...All they have in Kansas is K State & the Jayhawks man...don't give them too much respect, they aren't the cosmopolitan State they claim to be...
Kansas is cosmopolitan. Not one NASCAR race a year, but two.
No, you guys read COSMOPOLITAN, that's different than being Cosmopolitan...But two races a year is pretty sweet...Mark Martin is from Arkansas...Great dude...
but they have played hard! They've worked for this. And for y'all to be soooo worried about your "image"... Maybe y'all should be less worried, and try being sportsman like. That's why we can't all get along. 
Can anybody do some research to confirm this? If true we should probably delete this thread or risk "eating crow" as they say.
