I'll be honest--I attend KU and I am proud of its academic reputation (that is not to say I am under the impression KSU and KU are significantly different or anything). However, unlike most of my peers, I have no misconceptions about the character of some of the players on our basketball team. I cheer for them to win and all only because they represent my university, but as individuals, I can't help but dislike those with history of transgressions against the law and their immunity to any consequences purely because they play a game exceptionally well. (I cringe each time I hear the crowd cheer for Mario Little. I mean, seriously?). The tunnel incident was embarrassing, but I don't believe it was entirely instigated by the Jayhawks seeing as both basketball squads had emotions and adrenaline running high at the time. At the same time, I'm not deluded enough to believe "my boys" were "fine young men" who were "defending the honor of our University" at the time.

I can't decide if you're a level-headed troll or another in a long line of effing terrible KU socks. Either way, you're not gonna enjoy your short stint here on goEMAW.com. Thanks for stopping bye.
I love the double standard of powerespect nation. When it's a K-State athlete, they're labeled "junkyard cats," and the term "MCMW" is tossed around like a hot potato. When it's a KU athlete, they're labeled "thugs," and basically every word besides "n*****."
help me find the youtube of our players walking through another teams' huddle for no apparent reason other than to act like complete P.O.S's.
Have discipline that means something. Don’t [filtered word]-foot around with it. Mario Little should have been thrown off the team for his disrespect of his former girlfriend. I know why they call him “Little Mario.” (She told me.) The Morris twins should have lost the starting position every time they threw an intentional elbow. See how it worked with Taylor? He was disciplined, and he came back with (guess what!) discipline!
