My dear Wildcats,


As a proud and new member of the Big 12 I believe it is safe to say how excited West Virginia is to welcome all the Kansas State wildcat fans into Morgantown this Saturday. I hope as many of your fans can make it to the game in hopes of improving relationships between two universities. As this thread has spread throughout social media in the past few days, we Mountaineers have seen and read that your image of our university, state, and athletic programs have been largely based off of negative stereotypes.

WVU stays committed to the ideals and ethics the Big 12 stands for; whether on the field, within the community or in the classroom, those who make up the Big 12 support the highest ideals in sportsmanship, and therefore so does West Virginia University.

Although it is obvious that only a few Wildcat fans are "brave" enough to post comments concerning WVU and the state of West Virginia on an anonymous online thread does not reflect the majority of your student opinions, rest assured that this website does much more harm to your program as it reflects the extent of poor sportsmanship Kansas state fans can accomplish.

I sincerely hope the Kansas State Football team and staff have a great time this weekend here in the Wild and Wonderful state of West Virginia!

God bless your hearts,
a mountaineer fan

Why?

Good lord! 50 pages since I last checked on this place. You all just let anyone in or what?!

I'm not even going to try to catch up, anyone got some Cliffnotes?

I have read a few pages of the thread and another, and apparently we are all butthurt racists and they won the Internet.  Kudos to them for that.

Might as well enjoy yourself...  Your piece of crap geocities BBS is on lockdown and any thread worth a eff has been deleted.

 

Too bad about that.  I missed all the excitement myself, then tried to bait some folks into coming over.  Apparently nobody could get in.

This Stockton Shorts guys sounds like he means business.



Stockton Shorts?@StocktonShorts

@TKoppe22 My advice to you and any KState fans coming to Morgantown, cut the crap. Someone will get badly hurt. Its not that kind of town.

He's an idiot.  He produces his own podcast that is drivel, and he gets run off our site regularly.  I wouldn't listen to what he says.

I feel sorry for this Eers88 guy. It must suck having to play in a stadium named after ketchup.

Well we all can't honor our soldiers by naming a stadium in their memory, but it is a nice gesture by your fanbase.

I say let's give them a break.  They never played anyone as elite as us, them coming from such a lowly conference... Big East or is it the big least. 

Really?  Because 3 BCS trophies say otherwise.  And it is the latter.

But I do want to thank you all for deciding to play us and help elevate our stature by playing a team that is 1-5 in bowl games over the past ten years.  We are really grateful to be riding the coattails of such an elite program.

Can anyone confirm the part in bold? Sounds made up.

Doesn't mention any BCS trophies on their wiki page.

Are you all really that uneducated about something you have spent 6 pages railing on?

2011 Orange over Clemson
2007 Fiesta over Oklahoma
2005 Sugar over Georgia

FACT: Kansas State is the second most recognizable program in the country.

Do you have a source for this "fact"?  Because I think most of the country can't name 3 players that ever played for you.

also, what's the deal with their coach and that big goiter thing he has on the side of his face/neck or whatever. that thing is gross. anybody know what it is and if it's contagious?

I think you are talking about Frank Beamer, who coaches Virginia Tech.  Our coach has a skullet.

So, WVU invented the Hot Pocket?   

Pretty sure that Americans can legitimately blame WVU'ians for 90% of all diarrhea cases since that time.  Those mines must have smelled horrible.

That is probably the deepest cut yet.  Well done, but they are nothing like a hot pocket.

1. gay jokes arent funny
2. calling you coal aggie has nothing to do with aggie aggie

1.  It isn't a gay "joke."  It is making fun of a guy who was a homophobic by putting the Rainbow Pride flag on his Confederate Flag avatar. 
2.  I read through the rest of the thread, and I admit I don't get the "aggie" reference.  I figured it meant something else, but I still don't know what it means.  Just telling you why you got the reaction you did from SOME of the folks on the site.

let's make friends with this site.  They seem like they could handle it.

Also, what on earth 

I think he's homosexual. I don't get the saying underneath it though.

Sticks not slices?

Hey KStaters.  Looking forward to the game this weekend.  Some links to this site were posted on a Mountaineers fansite (We Must Ignite This Couch) and I thought I could help you out on some things.

First, the flag is a parody of the Confederate Flag, but uses the Rainbow Flag symbolizing gay pride as the backdrop.  WVMtneer is not gay, and he created that flag in response to a poster who used the Confederate Flag as his avatar. 

The reference to "sticks not slices" is to pepperoni rolls, which are a big deal in WV.  Italians immigrated to WV and worked in the coal mines, so they made rolls that had pepperoni in them so they could take them down into the mines and eat them easily.  They are still made in bakeries throughout WV, and are also served at the concession stands at the games.  They are either made with pepperoni sticks or pepperoni slices,  There is a running debate on WMITC about which is better.  Obviously he takes the side that sticks are better.  Unfortunately, he is wrong.  They sound kind of gross, but they are awesome if they are made right.  Try them out if you get a chance.

FWIW - WV fans are reeling about last week's debacle, and this is probably why we seem a little touchy.  Plus, all we heard from the other Big 12 fans, who have been awesome, is really really bad things about the Aggies, so people took it as a rather large slight when you introduced yourselves by calling us Aggies.

Hope that isn't TMI; just wanted to answer some of your questions. 

Good luck Saturday, but just enough to lose in a close one.
