What was the first moment you knew you were EMAW to the core?

Mine was 1995 when we lost to Colorado at home. I knew the pain it caused me was greater than any pain I would ever experience because of something non-EMAW related. Have been EMAW ever since.

Listening to the 93 KSU at Minnesota fball game on the radio at my aunts house while all my cousins were playing outside. young nicname went bezerk when we won that one. I cried when we lost to BYU in the Cotton Bowl. young nicname was also devatated when KSU hoops lost to Tulane in the 93 NCAAs, couldn't believe we lost to them.

fun story about nicname and KSU sports. my dad took me and a friend to the KSU v MU game in 94 right after we had just won the Copper Bowl. Anyway, after the game was over I went down to the court to try and get autographs or something. we lost and none of the players were there, but guess who was!? KSU star running back JJ Smith and he autographed my Big 12 basketball. then I went on the court and took a 3 pointer and drained it. then they kicked me off the court.

1996 Inaugural Big XII Game against TTU. It was my first K-State home football game. There was no turning off the K-StateO after that.

Man, I was a "part" of each the ones listed in this thread so far. 1993 was the year for me...

The pain and understanding listening to Mitch in the parking lot after we tied CU that year, and telling us that "if a tie was like kissing your sister, our sister was Christi Brinkley." I was like, yep, you nailed it Mitch.

I still get emotional when I think about listening to Mitch in the parking lot after we beat OU in 93, hearing Mitch say "Listen to me CLOSELY!" over and over...and then he gave his "Red Sea parted speech." I had rough ridin' tears in my eyes...

I miss the crap out of crazy old Mitch.

It's not reasonable, and I'm not really proud of it, but I small part of me really did want to die 1998, just to stop the pain....

he's right on this one. It's pretty bad. It's like my "why I'm skeptical" post on ksufans. jesus christ what a hilariously embarrassing moment.

Mitch was a big part of being EMAW when I was in the gestational emaw period.

I was sort of a quasi-KSU/OU fan from '96 to 2000 (though I had to sit next to the OU band in '96, so I super ultra hate them from that experience). In 2000, my girlfriend at the time (who was an LSU fan) worked at the Holidome where the OU team was staying. She would tell me how each team handled themselves while staying there. The OU team more or less pissed, shat, ejaculated, blew their noses, etc. all over the place and the coaches apparently DGAF. I decided to put all my eggs in the EMAW basket at that point.

'94 KU game...Thursday night, we watched it in our football coach's basement, 20 5th graders split down the middle KSU-KU...another poster on here was there as well.

1998 when I decided to go to school there.

March 27, 1988 sucked pretty hard.

Don't think I smiled for about 2 months after that.

aTm 1998 still stings a little.

In '02 when I watched our lady wildcats get beat by Old Dominion in the Sweet Sixteen. I have never shouted more obscenities or felt lower in my life.
