Great news Cats fans: Science proves we are younger, richer and not bandwagon

[pissclams]

we are the same school dumbass.

and guess what, people in oregon probably think you are a hayseed because you attended a school in kansas.

This is all incredibly true. No one in DC or NYC can tell the difference.

Not true at all.  People are more likely to confuse Kansas and Kentucky than they are to confuse Kansas with K-State.  I haven't seen one K-State fan since I've been up here, while I've met at least fifty KU fans in various settings.

Ah yes, the tried and true Tardville anecdote, "I haven't seen one K-State _____ since I moved ______"

About 51% of K-State alumni don't live in Kansas, there's a sanctioned Catbackers Club in Portland.

You are literally insane if you think K-State has as much of a national following as KU. 

That's not what I even implied, let alone said.   

But having lived on the East Coast for 16 years, I can say from experience that bandwagonville way overstates their "national" following.   The vast majority of sports fans out this way, if they even give a f_ck about either school, often get the 2 confused.   This "national following" talking point is just another huge quest for validation by Bandwagonville.

this is very true.  on either coast, you say you're from kansas to the average person and the person immediately thinks/sees "hayseed".  they don't really care about differentiating between jayhawk hayseed and powercat hayseed.  it's just hayseed and pity.

This is true.  However, we're not talking just people in general here.  We're talking sports programs and identifying with other sports fans.

I get the picture that Ben hangs out with people who literally know nothing about sports.  Kinda like a 5 surrounding herself with 3s.

[EMAWgeddon]

I know a bunch of rich lawyers whose salaries should be reflected under the KSU alumni section of Beems' chart.

This. Except f me if I would only start at $118,007  as appears to be the top range according to this clown.


Good thing I didn't go to ku law? 

[wildcat1979]

I think it's safe to say ku fans are trying compensate for small penises, by claiming they are superior to everyone.  Not being able to satisfy a woman is probably a contributing factor to their high divorce rate.  Judging by the study, their wife got the mansion and beach house in the divorce, also explaining why more squawks live in trailers.  Sad really.

Yep, but the sad part is, science isn't on their side.

Feel bad for all you EMAWs out there.  President Obama talking about raising taxes on millionaires.  Are you transferring wealth to the Caymans or simply cashing out your portfolio before the capital gains preference disappears?

It's really not even that close.  KU alums make more money, get better jobs, go to a better university, hang out with a ton more women, and actually relocate outside the state of Kansas.  Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got to plan my next trip to Costa Rica. 


 

[ChiComCat]

Do UMKC Beems!!!

[Cire]

We just got big timed with costa rica.

Poor people are funny.

Love it when Beems gets all  

Great BBS'ing

amazing name/first post combo

Hey Beems, if that Oregon hoo-holla doesn't work out for you, I'm looking for a maintenance guy for my estate. PM resume if interested.

Please post Beems resume if you get it.

Bro, you don't even know...

[wildcat1979]

I wonder what the stats look like for JCCC grads, since that's where a majority of their fans attended?  Anyone know the salary of a Waterway employee?

Bro, you don't even know...

Did anyone watch Greensburg when it was on?  The show about the town that blew away in a tornado?  KU had a construction class or something that was trying to build a building for a business and they were a bunch of bumble fucks that had no clue what they were doing.  I only watched 1 episode of them trying to build this building to the lead specs and it was a joke.

This was my favorite detail, too. Wish I could afford a trip to the Paris of Central America.

I'm sure it won't contain any embellishments.
