Was heckling Michael Crabtree in the 58-28 dismantling of the katz in 2008 by calling him "CRABStree" among other things...

There weren't too many students left after Harrel threw his 6th td of the day, so fatty (didn't know who he was at the time) made his way down to the front row with us. Immediately told me "hey I think his name is Crabtree, Crabtree, just Crabtree."

Looking back - that makes me smile

I am pretty sure fatty is the reason for emaw being so widely said now. Started from cat chat boards on gopowercat forever ago. Calling the Wildcats the "emaws", "I'm gonna emaw so hard" etc. He truly is the greatest.

Yep, he pretty much deserves all the credit.

I always enjoyed it when he berated me.

I remember I asked him for some screen shots from a football game with Texas a few years ago, and about 48 hours later I had them.

Devastating...it's hard for me to type all this, but:

I first met trips at this game: http://espn.go.com/ncb/recap?gameId=253272306

We (my wife, tortuga, trips) were about 4 or 5 rows up in the student section in a more than half empty Bramlage coliseum. We were losing at halftime but we persevered. There was a New Mexico fan that was standing behind us that trips talked mad crap on after the game, it was actually pretty awkward. During halftime I was chosen for a pumpkin pie eating contest and trips was my biggest fan in the crowd.

After victory was assured, we started this KSU chant, which was immortalized by him here:

I'll never forget and will always miss him apologizing to Pete for Pete's unfortunate birthday.

When he first learned that I had a bunch of games on tape, I got a PM from him on whatever board we were on at the time, asking me what I had. My idiotic reply of something along the lines of "a bunch of games on tape" aggravated him, and he asked me to list my entire "catalog."

Eventually we had an arrangement of me shipping/bringing him boxes of VHS tapes, which he'd work through to supplement his library and eventually convert to DVD for me. Of course, one time he shipped the latest batch of DVDs to my office "ATTN: Trim", which was awkward. I still have a box of fff-brand DVDs spanning a decade of EMAW games all with his customized DVD covers made on his home printer.

I think my first extended time hanging out with him was at the spring game where KSU had a "garage sale" in the indoor training facility. I got to observe his giddiness over the table of old $1 game DVDs, and him filling up a laundry bag that KSU was using as shopping bags with them. It made me happy.

Last time hanging out with him was in Manhattan for the OSU football game at Houlihan's. Despite it being a place where people who didn't care about football went for dinner to escape EMAW, fatty and tortuga turned it into the most raucous sports bar in town that night, even making me give a crap about OBz and his football team for one night that season. We all then went to aggieville, fatty still in his sweatpants, not giving a eff.

He'd PM me relentlessly about cancer and what he could do or say to make things better for his brother, to the point where I was hearing about cancer so much that I got it in my head that I had it again and had to go to the doctor for confirmation I was fine.

He made me laugh a lot over the years and he made me cry today.

What an EMAW hero. I only wish I could've gotten one of the game DVDs he made that he considered "pathetic" that had so many different commentary options on them.

I'm going to have to watch my fatty-produced 59-55 DVD tonight or tomorrow. That game was a pinnacle for fats...and such a great production. Even has the Bob Davis radio track on it for your enjoyment.

i remember ku week january 08 on ksufans. beems and co. were talking trash, and fatty said something like "neckbrace fracked you guys" with so much confidence and crap.. it was like, yeah, you might be undefeated and have a quarter century streak going, but we have beas and walker, it's a no-brainer - we are gonna kick your ass. my gosh i loved it.

nicname · « **Reply #139 on:** March 04, 2012, 12:29:52 AM »

Logging into a random cpu at Hale and going to a ksu bbs (prob original kstatefans,etc) and finding fff was still logged in. The politely logging out and logging in under my own name. This happened a lot.

My goodness. I have got to see that. For a bunch of different reasons, but especially for the Bob Davis track. What an artist.

Another reason I loved FFF was that he would spell crap all weird just for the hell of it (like "2maro"). And then he would often follow it with this guy:

FFF was crazy smart but would always have hilarious random misspellings of kinda-hard-but-not-too-hard words that I always figured he spelled wrong on purpose just because it made it look funnier. Same with random commas and apostrophes. And I'll always be grateful that he started this thread that provided me so many lols.

JavaCat · « **Reply #141 on:** March 04, 2012, 01:02:12 AM »

I loved his misspellings so much. Amazing how much a person you've never met can have such an effect on you. Do a Google search for fatty4ksu and you'll just smile at all the places he's registered.

Holy shat! 10 members! Yes!

Be sure to take pics of you/minority friends @ ksu sporting events, and post them here!

And remember, look friendly! We are being judged!

FFF was the definition of EMAW. I knew him and his sister and brother. Great people all around. The best of people. Fatty loved Snyder and it's only poetic justice that this team last year went 10-3 the same year fatty passed away. There was no bigger K-Stater than fatty4ksu.

Are you a minority that has gone against the grain, and cheers wildly for KSU in a sport you've probably never played in?

When all of your white friends had parents that embraced KSU, did your parents openly hate you?

Do you secretly love the dirty looks you get from hicks when you refuse to take off your hat or talk during the national anthem? (just kidding, kind of)

If so, join this group. Be proud, KSU knows you're their pride and joy.

Also, didn't notice the full photo gallery at first.
