does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program

[ArthurDent42]

I don't believe that. I think a lot is general "crap giving", but the total amount was very surprising. I've never even seen a kkk emoticon before...

And we're the backwoods ones?  

In order to understand some of the content on here, you have to realize some of it is "tongue in cheek".  Have your sister show you how to master that one.  Also, you're rough ridin' poor.  PigAggy.

Also, heh sorry I'm a little late on this one, but, in order to have "tongue in cheek" humor, it would help to possess wit.

2 kkk related emoticons?
Granted the toilet one is funny.

He's right guys. I visited "the south" this summer. No one seemed too concerned about all the black people down there. It's not that racism is dead...they just have a new target.

[ArthurDent42]

Ha! We love Hispanics in Arkansas. We're not Alabama or Arizona. I am worried that my original thread about the suspicious amount of (not racist) racism threads will look trollish when merged into another thread so haphazardly. I am not attacking anyone, I just think that, from what I have observed, there is a generational misconception of race relations in Arkansas, at least in the capitol. I can't speak for those out in the woods.

[Smac1475]

YES It for sure does!!! we they beat you badly and everyone knows it. You will be exposed for what you are! OVERRATED!!!

"We have the second most recognizable program behind Notre Dame and I don't want to tarnish it. "

This is a joke right? You may have the second most recognized team after Notre Dame, but that is just in the state of Kansas. I wouldn't be bragging about being second in your own state to an out of state school!

The New York Times reported the top schools by fan base. You guys are #60. Arkansas is #26.

Iowa State has a higher fan base than you do! Hahahahahahahahah

The big 12 went from a true contender to a third place wannabe. Texas and Oklahoma are a disappointment this year. Oklahoma State is the only team you have left, and they couldn't keep it together with the high school team from Iowa.

Time to go read about real football on saturdaydownsouth.com!

Thanks for the laugh!

That should keep you nerds busy for at least 30 mins.

Why was my racism thread merged into this thread mods?
It was a completely different and civil topic about the prevalence of race related posts on this forum.
It had nothing to do with the topic you have merged it with.
Is someone worried about dissent?
I think it is a valid question to ask why you are all so fixated on race on this forum and don't see the reason that it was merged into a thread of a completely different topic.

Hey Guys,

We're picking the bowl games at our office tomorrow, and I'm trying to to figure out badly we'll massacre our opponent, but I can't remember who we're playing ?   I know I've heard of them once or twice before but I can't remember the name of their program.       What can I say, I live in the west now and it's hard to find information about eastern or southern mid-majors out here. I remember hearing they had a break-out year and am pretty sure they are also 10-2 and were competitive or maybe even won the Sun Belt or Bible Belt or whatever conference they're in.  Thanks in advance for the help EMAW brothers!

[EMMAW]

I think they're called the sugar bears or something.

Sun Belt? That is worse than the conference that teams are jumping ship off of like rats on the Lusitania.

Hey all of you poor pityful Kansas St. fans. After reading most of your brainless remarks about Walmart I did a little research for all of you hayseeds. There are 61 Walmarts in the state of kansas. 8 less than in the State of Arkansas. -8...how ironic. The Razorbacks are giving up 8 points underdogs. And the comments about everyone being poor in Arkansas...Kansas Walmart employees make .20 cents less per hour than employees at Arkansas Walmart employees. Oh, another fact. In ESPN's college bowl pick'em 82%..........82% of voters have picked the Razorbacks over Kansas St. You better be glad there are 61 Walmarts in Kansas...you can get your crying towels cheap there.

Wow you are bragging about Wal-Mart. That's like Kansans bragging about Topeka or Missourians bragging about William Quantrill or Rhode Islanders bragging about Peter Griffin or Germany bragging about David Hasselhoff.

What a schmuck.  

Or Kansans bragging about the Koch brothers.

What an idiot

The simple answer to the original poster's question - "Does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program".....the answer is "yes". It is yes because losing a bowl game on national television always looks bad, even when you're Kansas State. Let's face it, you guys are just Kansas State just as we're just Arkansas. You talk like you're a national powerhouse, but what has your program accomplished? Really. How many National Championships have you guys won? How many Conference Titles have you guys won? How many players have you sent to the NFL? You play in a crap conference that is on the verge of going defunct. You've already lost four teams and havent done anything to restore stability to your conference. If you guys played in the SEC, I assure you you'd be a mid-tier level school that wouldnt have achieved a ten win record this year. Yes, we lost two games with sizeable margins. But, if Kansas State played LSU or Alabama, I can assure you you'd fare no better...Someone in an earlier post compared your program to Notre Dame. That is just insane. Not that Notre Dame has done anything lately, but you don't even come close to their historical achievements. I'll give credit where credit is due. You guys have a good team and a good program. Not great. Not exceptional. Not National Championship caliber. Just good. Nothing more and nothing less. As it stands, the same can be said for Arkansas. We both have our moments of glory...You look at Arkansas as being a bunch of backwards assed hillbilly's and that's alright. But, take a look in a mirror. You're only Kansas. What other discussion board has a KKK icon? I could slam Kansas for a lot of things too, but what's the point?....It should be a good game. I think you guys will go limping home wondering what happened that caused you to lose to a lowly little Arkansas team from the SEC.  

You stupid rough ridin' hick. 

Cousin Eddie.....You sound like the pot calling the kettle black.....I'll bet your dad says you're the best kisser of all the boys on campus too!

Arkansas?  WTF?  I thought we were playing Alabama.   

wait, who's k-state? some pussy ass team that can barely keep up with the Big 12? thought so. k-state definitely blows and they have a weak schedule. that suck the biggest male genitals in the NCAA. final score: arkansas 50, K-state 3.

[kstater]

PigAggie seems infatuated with male genitals.  I guess with Tyson that makes sense.

Which Duggar are you?

[razorbacfan1994]

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. 

This is a joke

just face it. k state fans use remarks about racism and how ''poor'' arkansans are. wow. no remarks about football though. they dont have anything to say about the razorbacks because we have a solid reputation as a football team. k state fans will be very dissappointed come game day.

Interesting that "BAC" is a part of your username.

I bet your the type of person who walks into a movie halfway through and asks everyone to rewind it so you can catch up?

No?
