Revisionist history of the Big 12 (if NU and CU never existed)

[Benja]

JFC, how could you not have appreciated it?

You don't really appreciate some things as much as you should until they're not there anymore.

I didn't.  I was young and didn't realize what went into it but I, honestly, thought it would last forever.

Parents took me to almost every game. I just assumed that this was the way it had always been, and always would be... 

The second time in my life I've ever seen my dad cry was after 98' a&m game. My 12 year old heart was mercifully spared from the full effects of that one

In a way, I'm kind of glad it happened during that time for me... makes it almost seem dreamlike...

it's ridiculous how close we were to multiple conference titles. only snagging one sucks considering how unreal good we were.

we start our DOD five years later we'd have at least three or four. Even when UT and OU got good again, we would have been in it nearly ever single year.

With gary patterson leading the way, the DOD will be back

If we had started the DOD any later, K-State would never have been able to join the Big 12 when it formed in 1994.

My favorite moment in KSU football history was tearing down the goalposts vs. Colorado in '97.  Now I have an emptiness that can only be filled by

was that the year when the students almost threw them over the top of the student side bleachers before bringing them back down and out to aggieville (this was before the upper deck expansion)?

Probably (it was before expansion).  The goalpost came apart into 3 sections.  I was part of carrying the middle section to aggieville...we took a shortcut through the Union.

did you grab a fan loaf and some ranch dressing to dip it in?

Thanks a lot, dude.  After that crapola, they got those goalposts that were guaranteed not to come down and we ultimately embarrassed ourselves by looking like we were too pathetic to tear down goal posts.  Pretty sure Sportscenter anchors were laughing at us.  Followed by everyone else.

We did finally break down the unbreakable goal posts.  wasn't than NU 98?

We did finally break down the unbreakable goal posts.

Unfortunately, this doesn't lessen the humiliation.  Saying "finally" may just add to it.

Any goalposts will come down with enough rope.  This is how they "finally" came down in '98.  Unfortunately, later attempts to bring down the goalposts were made by ropeless r'tards.  Work EMAWer, not harder.
