THE FINAL FOUR! Let's See What The National Media Has To Say

[0.42]

Oh man.  And people wonder why newspapers are going the way of the dinosaur. 


 

Because this only happens in newspapers.

Nah, it just happens on the East coast.  They think Kansas is a desolate prairie with no indoor plumbing.

It also happens in Texas and the west coast and anywhere outside of the plains states, really.

Not really.

YES, REALLY

[_33]

BMW, you should make a t-shirt that says "Jayhawk Nation" on the front and then it says "Alive and Well" on the back. I would buy it.

ya rly. California is a college athletics wasteland. People dont know the Jayhawks from the Longhorns, let alone who's in the final 4

Oh, pike... you have so much to learn about Jayhawk Nation, my libertarian friend.

That's a great idea, friend, but KU would probably sue me for it.

[AbeFroman]

That's weird, I know 5 KSU alums in portland, knew 6 but one already moved some where else. Said it was a dump

For some reason when you say friend, I don't think you mean it.

Definitely not a dump.  They were probably conservative Republicans from some small town in Kansas.   

[FP TC etc.]

One of my good buddys (EMAW) lives in Portland and really enjoys it. 

[EMAWesome]

So, it turns out that my new neighbor is a huge Jayhawk fan who graduated from KU in '07.  It really is Jayhawk Nation.


*On a side note, I have yet to meet or see one K-State fan since I've lived here (I'm convinced K-State fans don't exist outside of Kansas)

I saw a post of yours somewhere on this rag of a board that you had taken a picture of a Bar in Portlandia w/ a giant Powercat on the window...I believe your post was, "This place is all sorts of EMAW."

liar

That place was all sorts of EMAW.  Its name is "Life of Reilly" for God's sake.  Still haven't seen any K-State fans, though.

One of EMAWs' greatest writes for the Klamath Falls Herald and News.  You should visit him, Beems!

[Stevesie60]

When you live in the poor part of a big city, Beems, you're likely to see a lot of KU shirts. Probably a lot of 2011 Final 4 and 2003 NC shirts, huh?

Visit him, but don't drink or do drugs with him.

[star seed 7]

i know a very beautiful emawer that recently moved back to kc from portland.

[Dugout DickStone]

Why does "Life of Reilly" make it obviously EMAW?

the Oakland Raiders are the only thing that matters

Actually, I live in the Leawood/Prairie Village part of Portland (Wilsonville/Lake Oswego/West Linn area).  It's really, really nice and clean here.  As for the rest of your posts, WTF?  KU didn't make the 2011 Final Four and we didn't win the 2003 NC.

BUT THAT'S THE POINT, BEEMS.  THAT'S THE POINT.

Maybe it was "Life of Riley"  (as in Riley county).

You probably haven't met any KSU fans/alumni in the Portland area because we are too busy keeping the $ilicon Fore$t green, traveling on company jets, etc.  Unless you associate with elite engineering/scientist types, you are not likely to meet many of us.  Your best shot is probably an accidental invite to a homebrew release party, an accidental key toss (if you are dressed like a valet), or something like that.  I wouldn't say that it's impossible for you to make your way into our social circles.  Keep your head up.

[Cire]

So there is as emaw place called life of effing riley but you don't know of any emaw there? 

[sonofdaxjones]

Portland has a chartered K-State Catbackers Club.

That's why poor people would get the shirts, Beems. They print those shirts off early, then discard them when they are don't work out. Have you noticed how quickly teams receive their shirts once they win the NC or get into the Final 4? Man, never thought I'd have to explain this to someone with a 60+ IQ, much less someone with an IQ of 130.

Wasn't Kyle Singler from Lake Oswego? Maybe it was Kevin Love.
