Just wondering what you guys think about playing Arkansas.  I don't know anything about them but I think they're considered "small time" as it relates to the college football world. 

I am worried that people will associate them when they think about KSU football and I'd hate to hurt our national brand/image.  We have the second most recognizable program behind Notre Dame and I don't want to tarnish it. 

Second  most recognizable team from Kansas! lets look at some facts from your storied past.....All-time record 475–612–41 (.439), Now lets take a Look at arkansas.....All-time record 676–451–40 (.596), Not to mention 28 bowl appearances, 1 Nation championship and 13 conference championships. Compare that to 5 conference championships( In a WEAK conference to say the least) and 14 bowl appearances (Low end December Bowls) .
 Well I see your team has been around since 1896, Well keep it up and maybe by 2096 you can be where we are right now. Be prepared for a  whooping little boys. You guys have no chance of manning up our offensive and defensive fronts like Alabama and LSU. Rember the game against Oklahoma.....Time for DEJAVU
ARKANSAS 58 KANSAS STATE 17

Now I'm getting tired of these posts. 

I am willing to bet it hits 100 pages...

This thread is going to be longer than a Matt Jones rap sheet.

Prove what? There are zero Wal-Marts in KS or you've never been to one? Or both? Which one(s)?

i would actually appreciate it if you proved both. I mentioned earlier that I think I have seen one before when my driver accidentally got off the wrong exit of the highway. I'm not sure though.

As far as never being to one, I have never set foot in a wall-mart. What do they sell there? How is their wine selection from Chablis?

Another question for Arkansas fans: Can i get a cupholder for a Gulfsteam G5 at this "Wal Mart"? I took some poor SEC fan to Dallas in the goEMAW jet after his Southwest flight was canceled (should've flown American) and he must've thought the cupholder was for his Skoal tin and broke the thing. Apparently the folks at Gulfstream want a fortune for a replacement. Now i could easily pay it with cash in my wallet but it's just the principle of the thing. If i can't find a cupholder i may just scrap the thing and get a Learjet.

You know, ever since I've cheered for K-State since back in the 90's.  LHC Bill Snyder is a class act.  Your uniforms are snazzy, but I've had to rethink things lately.  See, I came across this thread via Facebook, and at first I couldn't believe it was real.  It's so absurd that someone might *really* think that by playing THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS your K-State "brand" of football might somehow take a hit.  It's ridiculous...surreal, even.  At first I figured this must all be an elaborate set up by U of A folks trying to get our players fired up before the bowl.  But after skimming PAGES and PAGES of the most uneducated, asinine comments regarding this bowl matchup, I decided a little research was needed.  Funny thing, research.  It has the ability to strip bare all the horrifyingly stupid illusions K-State fans hold about their program.  Enjoy!

How's that for "brand?"

You know, a program with only about 20 years of "history" in a sport that's 142 years old doesn't really have a history.

You guys want to know why we aren't in the Big XII?  We left the SWC two years before it collapsed (guess they couldn't survive without us).  At least twice the Big XII has made overtures to us about joining your conference.  When we were done laughing at you, we politely declined.  We'd rather play in the one conference that is a cut above:  the SEC (Six national championships in a row, people.  Six.)
You know, any of you could have learned this through the "Miracle of Literacy," but I guess you don't have to be literate to graduate from Kansas State.  I guess they just hurl diplomas at random passers-by on their horses or tractors or whatever.  How 'bout y'all stick to subjects you understand...like...corn.
You call us racists, but I doubt most Kansans even know a soul who isn't lily white.  Our state is racially diverse, and most folks here have learned to live and work together...and we LIKE it that way (10.4% of our businesses are minority owned compared to 7.7% of yours).  You call us poor hillbillies, but last I looked we have more companies in the Fortune 500 than you.  I could go on about Arkansas' advantages, but I'll just sum it up by saying I'll take a delta sunrise, a drive through the Ouachita Forest or a breezy Ozark evening to that flat, endless expanse of cowpasture called Kansas.

what is your relation to jtksu, jtrazorback?

[dutchking33]

Hey guys, I was just wondering does playing KSU, hurt Arkansas' creditability? I mean, we're from the SEC and I don't think playing a team like KSU, who barely walks away from Eastern Kentucky, is good for our program. Well, wait.. they did play OU and OSU, who are pretty damn good... but are they in the BCS championship game? Nope. But let's face they are the 2nd to Notre Dame, but if we were to be honest and ignore how great Notre Dame use to be (Which isn't my generation), does anyone care about Notre Dame? Good rough ridin' game, I hope y'all are friends with Dorothy because y'all are going to be needing her heels to get away from this ass kicking Arkansas is going to put on you. "There's no place like home"... Good luck, gents.. Keep it clean or you'll be seeing even more Razorback red on game day.

Dumbing it down so your fans will comprehend it, I see.  

I studied Arkansawnees as a foreign language in high school.  Never thought it would be useful until yesterday.    You just never know when that upper level education (as you would call it) will come in handy.

[RazorcatsFTW]

Kansas State has this in the bag.
Overall Record: 924-102
That's 90%. Kansas State wins 90% of the games they play.

Arkansas's Record: 213-789
That's 21%.

90%+21%=111%

That's a lot of %.

How's that for "brand?"

You know, a program with only about 20 years of "history" in a sport that's 142 years old doesn't really have a history.

You guys want to know why we aren't in the Big XII?  We left the SWC two years before it collapsed (guess they couldn't survive without us).  At least twice the Big XII has made overtures to us about joining your conference.  When we were done laughing at you, we politely declined.  We'd rather play in the one conference that is a cut above:  the SEC (Six national championships in a row, people.  Six.)
You know, any of you could have learned this through the "Miracle of Literacy," but I guess you don't have to be literate to graduate from Kansas State.  I guess they just hurl diplomas at random passers-by on their horses or tractors or whatever.  How 'bout y'all stick to subjects you understand...like...corn.
You call us racists, but I doubt most Kansans even know a soul who isn't lily white.  Our state is racially diverse, and most folks here have learned to live and work together...and we LIKE it that way (10.4% of our businesses are minority owned compared to 7.7% of yours)[/b].  You call us poor hillbillies, but last I looked we have more companies in the Fortune 500 than you.  I could go on about Arkansas' advantages, but I'll just sum it up by saying I'll take a delta sunrise, a drive through the Ouachita Forest or a breezy Ozark evening to that flat, endless expanse of cowpasture called Kansas.

How are things in corn?

I've seen it all now, smack talk about % of minority owned businesses. Maybe Kansas has less because 89.6% of our business dont force valuable members of our society to pick their goods up in the back of the store?

tyson chicken aggies just can't get over the fact that we historically own them on football field. they are all so



it's just adorable really. i feel like a teenager and my five year old brother is trying to swing at me and i'm just holding my arm out with my palm against his forehead and he's just swinging and swinging and swinging and i think wow! this little guy is never going to hit me but damn if he isn't going to just keep trying until he passes out or it's bedtime or something.

Hey guys, I was just wondering does playing KSU, hurt Arkansas' creditability? I mean, we're from the SEC and I don't think playing a team like KSU, who barely walks away from Eastern Kentucky, is good for our program. Well, wait.. they did play OU and OSU, who are pretty damn good... but are they in the BCS championship game? Nope. But let's face they are the 2nd to Notre Dame, but if we were to be honest and ignore how great Notre Dame use to be (Which isn't my generation), does anyone care about Notre Dame? Good rough ridin' game, I hope y'all are friends with Dorothy because y'all are going to be needing her heels to get away from this ass kicking Arkansas is going to put on you. "There's no place like home"... Good luck, gents.. Keep it clean or you'll be seeing even more Razorback red on game day.      

why do you care, you go to Ole Miss

Too funny..

You know, ever since I've cheered for K-State since back in the 90's.  LHC LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder is a class act.  Your uniforms are snazzy, but I've had to rethink things lately.  See, I came across this thread via Facebook, and at first I couldn't believe it was real.  It's so absurd that someone might *really* think that by playing THE UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS RAZORBACKS your K-State "brand" of football might somehow take a hit.  It's ridiculous...surreal, even.  At first I figured this must all be an elaborate set up by U of A folks trying to get our players fired up before the bowl.  But after skimming PAGES and PAGES of the most uneducated, asinine comments regarding this bowl matchup, I decided a little research was needed.  Funny thing, research.  It has the ability to strip bare all the horrifyingly stupid illusions K-State fans hold about their program.  Enjoy!

Let me paraphrase this for everyone so you don't have to read it.  He pretty much said,

"If yall don't lyke Arkansaw, yall don lyke Amurrika.  Herp de herp.  Corn.

Dumbing it down so your fans will comprehend it, I see. 

I studied Arkansawnees as a foreign language in high school.  Never thought it would be useful until yesterday.     You just never know when that upper level education (as you would call it) will come in handy.

So you translated from English to Arkansawees for KSU fans to understand? That upper level education is really paying off, I see. Let me guess, it's from KSU?

Never go full respect.

As a huge fisherman, I have always wondered what kind of bait works best in the southern states.  I didn't think I'd find my answer on goEMAW.com.  Life is just one surprise after the other.
