I like that we get to spend all week preparing the Pokes, whereas they have to worry about @ISU tomorrow.

Meh. We're gonna be all 
no matter who we meet in the second round. And a 2 seed versus a 3 just doesn't matter that much. I just don't want to fall back to a 4.
We can lock down a 3 with a win over the Pokes. If not, we've got some work to do in the B12T. To reach a 2, I'd say we probably need 4 more wins and a little help from the teams currently slotted above us.

If you're a KU fan, you should be thanking your lucky stars you're even in a position this year for a shared title.
But srsly, isn't all this "shared title" talk just a little premature given that we've still got the second toughest road game of the conference schedule coming up?

Much less pixely version:
Man, Austin is a really weird looking dude. It's like his head is too small for his body, or his body is too big for his head. And the way his arms hang when he walks, you almost expect the joints to bend the opposite direction.

That's less than not likely, that just isn't gonna happen. But how nice would it be to somehow beat the Pokes Saturday afternoon and then just sit back to see if KU gets a share* of the title?

Why does this win feel so good? Can't put my finger on it
Because this is the type of thing that never happens to K-State. We're usually not good enough to create our own luck. This year we are, enjoy it Meow-Meow...enjoy the shi+ out of it.
yep
Setting ourselves up for a giant KITN next weekend?
Not sure I'd call that a KITN. It would suck, but it would hardly be an upset. Now losing to TCU at home - that would be a KITN.

« on: March 01, 2013, 11:59:18 PM »We're going to lose. But, I'd rather have our dreams crushed tomorrow than against The Pokes. That's what would really hurt.
uh, no. first, OSU is much better than Baylor. second, KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE
Xactly. Also, I too think there's a pretty good chance we lose tomorrow. Theyve got more talent, including 2 NBA caliber bigs, and that little Canadian version of Sprads who's a sniper from the perimeter. It hasn't gel'd much this season, but I got a bad feeling it will tomorrow.

Not being upset a single time this season, so far, is a big accomplishment. oscar deserves credit for that, even if the Big 12 is down this year. He's done a great job utilizing the talent that Frank and DH recruited. So I'm happy with oscar's coaching, but I'm still skeptical about his track record recruiting.

« on: February 27, 2013, 09:19:38 PM »40 years of terrible energy policy. Electric rates have gone through the roof, too, despite the forests of wind turbines cropping up all around. It's damn near impossible to open a new refinery, nuclear plant, drill on federal land, build new pipelines (we still transport most of our oil by train), etc.
Ironically, natural gas production is booming and prices have been much more reasonable. People who bought those high efficiency heat pumps are actually better off not using them because it is cheaper to heat their homes with natural gas than electricity. (And yet, the federal government spent millions on tax credits to encourage people to buy said heat pumps).
Did I mention our energy policy is just so incredibly terrible? It's terrible.
yeah, b/c of obama, you could have just said obama and that would have sufficed.
Started long before him, but he's making it worse, kinda like the debt.

Absolutely.
But the difference is most (all?) people at gE would thoroughly enjoy rubbing it in the faces of others, especially when loser fans came telling us how they got hosed.Quote from: typical gEerOf course the best team got the critical calls. That's what happens to loser programs against the best programs. Get better or deal with it.

Gotta say, I'm really enjoying cork's contribution to this thread. Is he somebody's sock? He just lobs up every softball idiotic excuse being offered by KU fans to justify that travesty of an ending and then WHAM, one brilliant poster or another swats it down. Well done cork and goEMAW.
The commentators agree it was a travesty, the freakin' Big 12 agrees it was a travesty, but KU fans just keep on truckin'!

No doubt, a win over Baylor should move us up to 3. But can we stay there if we take 2 more losses @OSU and somewhere in the 66?

« on: February 27, 2013, 07:36:52 AM »I think I'm just delirious, but I'm pretty sure I just saw someone compare a big man's 3rd foul to a foul that gives a team 2 free throws with under 5 seconds left.
Mods, if I'm just seeing crap again, delete this post. TIA.
Yes, I can confirm this. I couldn't believe it either.
It's not just stupid - it's double stupid. Stupid enough to compare a call mid-way through the game to a call/no-call on the final play that the refs knew would impact the game. But even stupider to complain about a foul that was completely irrelevant, since said big-man continued to play after receiving his 5th.

« on: February 26, 2013, 04:56:02 PM »And I'm good with a shared, but to me the losses to ISU in Ames and KU at the OOD are way more frustrating than anything that happened last night.
At least with our losses to KU and @ISU, we legitimately lost. I'm more frustrated by last night because KU lost but was handed a win by the refs. Now that's frustrating.
I'm always much more frustrated when my teams fail at things they have complete control over than things that we do not. We had nothing to do with KU, ISU, or the officials last. But we had plenty to do with being unable to shoot vs KU or unable to play defense and rebound in Ames.
JMHO.
Uh, as fans we have as much to do with how K-State performs as we do with how ISU or KU or any other team performs...
Yeah. We don't have any control over any of it so why should it bother us more when K-State blows a game than it does when K-State gets screwed over in a game they aren't playing?
Right. Losing sucks anyway, but losing a title race because the other team has the refs in its back pocket - that really really sucks. To suggest that kstate should have won more games to overcome the stacked deck, well, I disagree with that.

I would like to think that the law of karma ensures another KU loss, but I don't think even karma can overcome rigged officiating.
Prepare yourselves: we're not winning @OSU. But I'd like to at least beat Baylor to keep the dream alive for a bit longer (and get that 3-seed in the dance!). This has been fun.

All the blather from hawk fans about how the whole game was inconsistently officiated and every call or no-call is equally important is just that - blather. Only on the last play of the game do the officials know the impact of their call. And to not call that desperation drive to the basket a charge - that's just preferential treatment plain and simple.

What's the first reason?
Because we consistently crap the bed against them. Let's not deny it. Doesn't change the fact that are lucky SOBs who get preferential treatment from the officials.
