Arkansas shmarkansas, a razorback isn't even a real bird.

You are truly a dumbass. A razorback I a type of wild boar!!

I highly doubt that. My research shows the razorback (Raphusrazorbackus) was a flightless bird endemic to the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius. Related to pigeons and doves, it stood about a meter (3.3 feet) tall, weighing about 20 kilograms (44 lb), living on fruit, and nesting on the ground. The razorback, which was indigenous only to Mauritius, had lost the power of flight because food was abundant and predators were absent. By 1681 all razorbacks had been killed by the settlers or by their domesticated animals on the island. The extinction of the bird, within 80 years of its discovery, made man realize for the first time that he could induce the extinction of plants and animals. The bird is mainly represented by sub-fossil material today, so the external appearance of the bird is only known from paintings and written accounts from the 17th century, and since these vary considerably, and only a few sketches are known to have been drawn from life, mystery remains over its exact appearance.

I don't know about you folks in arkansas, but why have your mascot be an extinct bird from the Indian Ocean? Makes very little sense to me. But, whatever floats your boat, I guess.   :dunno:

We are not named after a flightless bird from the Indian ocean!! Are you seriously that stupid??

If not a bird, then what? I saw someone said it was some kind of pig earlier, but thats just ridiculous.

Hey, Arkansas I really enjoyed watching you guys play basketball last year.

Is Jimmer Fridette still going to be tossing up the three ball this year?

No, the Jimmer went to play for  Brad Stevens and those automatons at VCU.

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. 

I seriously do not have all the time in the world to read through all this BS, but should any team that once had this article written about them http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1068750/index.htm be worried about how playing any team will affect their image?  Hell the Hogs have been to a BCS Bowl more recently than you.

Both us and you guys got screwed out of BCS games and should be happy that at least our game ranks above the 2 crappy BCS bowls we got hosed out of http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/stewart_mandel/12/06/bowl-rankings/index.html#ixzz1fn0s8qoE  Hell even the Alamo Bowl ranks above those BCS games in being better.

I'm done with this board so ripe me to death as a troll or whatever I'm not coming back here again.  I'll hang out at the K-State's Rivals or Scout message boards were real intelligent discussion can be found on the game.  WPS

If Kansas State were in the SECW, they'd have about 1 win this season. FACT

Maybe 2, they might have gotten lucky and gotten Tennessee on their East schedule

I was actually counting that as their ONE win. Even the Nutter would have beaten them.

Even those second level SECW teams would have destroyed you. You're in for a rude awakening when the flagship mauls you.
