Kansas State Football / Re: does playing west virginia hurt the image of our program?
« on: October 18, 2012, 02:50:49 PM »
People, people, people. Coming from West Virginia I readily admit we have some backwoods brethren, but their our brethren nonetheless and proud Mountaineers. Now, I've heard some classless banter before, but at least it was from folks who knew our program and had well-established rivalries, but you simply reply on unintelligent conjecture and . To try to start a rivalry with us with demeaning stereotypes of our people and state is small-minded and lacks the creativity you would find in a 6th grader. Let me provide some actually and factually fodder . . . .
WVU Record – Winning
With a 706–458–45 record, West Virginia has the 14th most victories amongst NCAA FBS programs - ever.
K-State Record - Losing
Historically, the team has an all-time losing record, at 475–613–41.
So that puts you right around 92nd place. So I am starting to understand your barbs stem from a massive inferiority complex. But why stop the comparison there?
Let’s compare our towns.
I believe several of you may have called our town a redneck, backwoods crap hole. So let’s look at the recent recognition and awards each of our towns have received over the past few years – shall we?
Awards for Morgantown, WV
2012 "America's Top College Towns"
2011 "America's Top College Towns"

2006 Forbes "Best Small Places"#5
Awards for Manhattan, KS
2011 "Best Small Communities for a Business and Career.
2007 “Ten best places in America to retire young.”
Best place to retire young . . . sounds like a great time is had by all in Manhattan. I want to go to school in a place named the best place to retire young! I bet your sophomores are already starting to look like soccer moms. And since our town is a crap hole and has basically 5 times the awards Manhattan, does that mean your town is 5 times the crap hole you describe Morgantown to be?
Curious. . . .
And have no doubt - The Mountaineer Nation will be ready.
