why does kstate hate their own fans so much that we're always forced to learn about stuff like this from boards of the schools that we'll be playing. i mean just pure hatred from the athletic dept towards it's own fans. when did they know? last week? last month?

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #2 on:** February 06, 2012, 08:03:19 AM »

Wait, will there not be a 9/1 game for us, then? I ask because I don't know for sure, because kstatesports.com's Future Schedules section just says "2012 Non-Conference: Coming Soon!!!" or some crap. It also has Missouri listed in 2012 and 2013.

Totally agree. It's must be because we are small timey.

I suppose they could. It's an early labor day weekend.

Miami doesn't have their conference schedule dates listed yet, so our athletic department can't really use that excuse.

I hope we do play someone easier on 9/1 before the 9/8 Miami game, but that will be a dog crap game to watch. We won't show a thing. I will be a series of dives and field goals. Yuck.

i mean, they obviously have the time to blow up my inbox with some of the most arcane kstate sports crap in the world, so i know it's not a lack of time issue or workforce issue. they just strategically choose not to for some reason. maybe they want first dibs on campus holiday inn rezzys, i don't know. so frustrating.

Yeah, looking over other teams schedules, we should have a game that first weekend and, like pete points out, it should be a doozy. I work with a Miami fan. He said that they have known the date of the KSU game for weeks.

hey give us money for a new stadium. no we're not going to tell you when the miami game is. why would we do that? go check the miami site if you really need to know bad person. btw, the tennis team finished sixth in the albuquerque invitation two weeks ago. have a good day.

knock knock
who's there
miami
miami who
miami the football team that is coming to play in your stadium but only we know when we're coming and you don't although technically your athletic dept and football coaches know but they have for some reason decided not to tell you when it is so good luck guessing anyway i guess we'll see you when we see you and maybe you'll be surprised when you see us or maybe you won't and by the way you could easily find out when we are coming if you just come over to our website anyway i have to go now.

K-State probably won't be releasing noncon schedule for a while, due to a late change by another school.

Maybe Bill is still trying to find a way to buy out of this game.

cc, why don't they announce the games once they are confirmed? or, is the Miami game not confirmed for that date? thanks.

They like to release the whole schedule at once and pair it with a season ticket sales pitch and an announcement about when/where Family Reunion yard signs can be picked up.

Mostly this. Everybody does it their own way, K-State chooses to make a big deal out of releasing the schedule and try to capitalize on it as a marketing tool. It rarely takes this long, so we don't notice it. Last year it was announced before Signing Day.

CC, just post it on Twitter with the #KSU tag. Hardly any KSU folks use twitter and even less understand what they read on there. Just abrv it in an illogical way and skip a word or two.
