Kansas State Football / Will We Lose Our First Game?
« on: April 23, 2013, 07:26:22 PM »
North Dakota State is two time defending FCS Champions. How good does that make them? Better than a bunch of first time starters we'll have on defense? Should we be nervous?

Essentially Flyertalk / Top 3 Acting Performances Since 2005
« on: April 11, 2013, 10:20:08 PM »
1. Natalie Portman - Black Swan
This may be a little higher than it deserves due to, what I believe is, the best directing we've seen in our lifetime. But it definitely belongs in the top 5 hands down. What a transition that girl made, and being able to show good and evil through the same character is absolutely incredible.
2. Daniel Day Lewis - There Will Be Blood
You could tell at some point P.T. Anderson just told DDL to take over the entire thing. Got rid of an actor in lieu of Paul Dano because he wanted to be able to literally slap him around in the church scene, and the first actor wouldn't let him. Lots of nonverbal acting, which makes it hard to show personality/emotion, but he got the job done (duh, he's DDL).
3. Heath Ledger - The Dark Knight
Admittedly this is a guilty pleasure. Any decent actor can make a character using lots of ticks and weird habits (see Brad Pitt in Inglorious Basterds), but he made the whole damn movie. People saw it multiple times in theaters because they wanted more Joker. And it was a good job by Christopher Nolan to not make the entire movie about him, thus leaving viewers wanting more.

Essentially Flyertalk / Your Basketball # and Why
« on: April 03, 2013, 01:15:27 PM »
If I played basketball I'd be #25. I'm kind of OCD about the number 5, so squaring it to get my number seems appropriate. Also, I can't think of too many famous basketball players who have worn this number, and I like to be unique.

I'm pretty bummed that no one started you a birthday thread yesterday. So I'm going to pretend (like everyone else, right guys?) that your birthday is today and this is your birthday thread.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Big 12 Tournament
« on: February 24, 2013, 12:22:59 PM »
As it stands right now, we'd probably be playing WVU for our first game for a shot to play OSU. However, if OSU wins out including their game against us, we drop to the 3 seed with a shot of playing Baylor.
Can we win in Stillwater?

Tech Support and Suggestion Board / Unread Topics
« on: February 10, 2013, 05:51:53 PM »
Isn't working for me. Hasn't been for about a week. I clicked on "unread topics" today and it was empty. Clicked over to "replies" and it was a page and a half of topics. Then I had to go the old fashioned route when I was done reading them and go through the basketball, football, combofanning, etc. boards to see all the topics that had been started. It's awful. I wish this upon no one. Please fix it Saul. You're our only hope.

The first thing I thought about you when thinking of attributes that are personal to you, I thought of your great avatar. When I typed in "great avatar cake" to google (which in retrospect was kind of ridiculous), this is what I got. Anyways, happy birthday bud.

Jerome Tang Coaches Kansas State Basketball / Only One Explanation
« on: December 22, 2012, 09:24:22 PM »
Coach Weber heard about the goEMAW'rs that were going to heckle him at the game tonight. Was motivated to win, and used that fear to motivate the players to win. Guys, we did it. goEMAW won this game.

Kansas State Football / Bob seems to have no problem with a shrared title this year
« on: December 01, 2012, 02:40:13 PM »
And I, for one, am pretty butthurt about it. What a douche. "Well I thought the whole point of round robin was to find the one true champion?" Shut up, Bob. Stop celebrating.

Kansas State Football / Does THE_ED_FROM_VEGAS hurt the image of goEMAW?
« on: November 17, 2012, 11:27:13 AM »
He's an obvious bigot. I'm not sure if being associated with him is good for us. Anyone else finding themselves having similar thoughts?

Kansas State Football / Remember when...
« on: November 08, 2012, 09:37:15 PM »
no one gave us a chance to win at OU? And most of us, even as diehard K-State fans, thought we'd probably, best case scenario, win 2-3? What a ride it has been so far. I'm glad we get to enjoy it together.
