What a crap article.

Jeremy Stahl makes good points and is completely right. No one likes the Yankees, no one likes the Lakers, or the Patriots outside of their bandwagon fans, just as no one likes KU.

This clown is about 2 IQ points shy of being Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). None of this makes any sense.

Love his points about rooting for Richmond and you support Slavery. Root for KU and you support murdering innocent civilians because you're too rough ridin' incompetent to be able to find a few bearded guys in the woods....who are from MISSOURI of all places....not the smartest people in the world, nor the hardest to find.

If you root against KU basketball, then, you are actually rooting for slavery. You're supporting the Confederacy over United States, cheering for racism, oppression, and war, and, not for nothing, you want President Obama to fail—all of which are certainly "odious" and "contemptible" by any reasonable definitions.

I thought all this was what squawk basketball stood for?

Beems? Confused here

My god, do a little research, or (more likely) quit drinking the red and blue coolaid from your undergraduate days.

KU may not be all snooty like Duke, with delusions of Ivy grandeur,

Like Tyrel Reed, for instance. A senior from little Burlington, Kansas, Reed is not only living a childhood dream of playing for Kansas, he will graduate early, in three and a half years, and was named as a first-team Academic All-American.

Er, he either graduated early, or he will graduate in four years. Editor please.

Why exactly do you guys root against us so strongly? Sure, I don't like some of your fans. But I was still pulling for you guys against Wisconsin last Saturday.

Just curious.

your university has a history of conduct that includes fraud, theft, lying, tax evasion, more lying, support of criminals and a general lack of respect to any rules which govern athletics and society as a whole.

This is the most honest I will ever be. I rough ridin' hate KU. Every single fan, every single player. I have KU alum in my family: I hate them.

I didn't care about KU at all until I came to K-State. After my first football game against KU, the seeds of hate were planted by KU fans. Then came basketball, the tree began to grow. Less than a year into my college education, murder came to mind every time I saw the colors blue and red together.

But I did root for KU to beat Nebraska in football once...

excellent retort. But you know I'm right. Your entire athletics tradition is founded on a tradition of theft.

Kind of weird considering Lawrence is full of racists. I'm guessing the author has never left his Kansas City bubble. Doubt he's ever seen the campus

My personal hate (and I mean when I started to consider homicide strongly) probably goes back to our loss to KU in manhattan in...2007 I think, football. After being assured that "there is no rivalry" from every snooty ass KU fan in the state, the fans decided to mock and deride us in our own town for the entire day. I had GIRLS screaming RCJH in my rough ridin' face in the parking lot as I was leaving the staduim after. I was yelled at and mocked by groups of KU (what I assume were frat dudes, but you really can't tell with KU fans...they take douche to a whole new level) fans my entire walk home. Seriously like 2 miles and I was yelled at by at least 7 different groups of people....and I was just walking! THEN, when we beat KU they're even worse!

All the while claiming they don't care about us. Sure.

Surely you're familiar with the concept of offering evidence or some sort of coherent argument. Granted, we are not 100% squeaky clean. Name me a major college basketball program who has never been in any trouble for anything. Right, I can't think of any either. Nice try though.

Also--to the racist comment? WHAT? I live in Lawrence. You are severely misguided in saying that.
