Memorial Stadium in Lawrence blows

[420seriouscat69]

Why is he so mad? 

All the media will talk about is Title town USA Manhattan, KS. He hates all the attention we're getting.

[OregonSmock]

The reason I'm so defensive is because you guys can't enjoy K-State's success without throwing KU under the bus in the process.  There's always a hint of KU hatred any time K-State wins something.  Look no further than this thread.  K-State upgrades BSFS, so naturally you guys have to bash Memorial Stadium.  There's a natural tendency for K-State fans to compare themselves with KU at all times.  That same dynamic isn't reciprocated by KU fans.  In fact, a lot of KU fans were rooting for K-State when you guys were in the middle of a title run in football.  I congratulated K-State fans several days ago on the triple crown accomplishment, and no one even acknowledged it.  The truth is that both KU and K-State have had a lot of success this year in various sports, but for whatever reason, k-State fans are incapable of accepting that.  The easy explanation is inferiority complex, but I think there's more to it than that.  It's like grapes don't think K-State can succeed if KU does well too.

God you're a  14 year old girl aren't you?

Indeed.

Ben should have gotten a psychology degree instead of an economics degree.

LOL, he's racked up 1000's of posts on this board with around 75% to 80% of them being how K-State isn't worthy, and yet we're the one's with the inferiority complex?

Come on Beems.

You bring nearly every phognet talking point that tosses K-State under the bus to this board, and yet you claim you're just pissed off because we throw ku under the bus.

You're just mad because ku football has been in shambles, and all the claims you made about how K-State couldn't compete financially and how Lew is "building a monster" have backfired on you.

[meow meow]

Lew built a women's track and field monster from the sound of things.

KU has multiple Big 12 titles this year in other sports

Yeah but I'm talking about sports that actually matter

Winning Big 12 titles doesn't matter to anyone outside the Big 12.  K-State fans over hype it because your shitty program never wins anything on a national level.  Your football team got blown out by Oregon, and your basketball team lost in the 1st round to LaSalle.  Your program is a joke and couldn't be a worse representative for the Big 12.

KSU's participation in the Fiesta Bowl netted the Big12 approximately $18MM.

KU's BB team will net the Big12 an estimated $4.63MM over the next 6 years.  The kicker is what the FB team cost the Big12.  Mid-major teams play BCS conference teams and it's expected that the BCS conference teams beat them.  It's expected of them so that those mid-majors don't have enough wins to crash the BCS.  The KU FB team didn't do it's part against Northern Illinois, allowing them to take OU's spot on the BCS.  That cost the Big12 $6.2MM in additional bowl payout. 

KSU's impact on Big12 post-season revenue: $18.25MM
KU's impact on Big12 post-season revenue: $1.57MM

So all of yours are irrelevant too?     I hope I never hear this talking point from you again.

On a national level, Kansas just doesn't get it done when it comes to postseason achievements. 

I'd say more people remember Kansas for their embarrassing first round exits to nobodies, than the national title and final fours.

Meanwhile:  Duke and Kentucky are known for winning championships.

Beems, everything alright at home?

Guys, add beems to your prayers tonight before you head to bed. I think he's "taking" again.

Kstate fans typically know exactly who they are and where they stand.  KU fans tend to way over value their importance and place in the pecking order.  They are an elite program in the second most popular sport.  This is great for most ku fans who only cafe about bball but it's not good for the football program or the fans who care about it.   UNC, Duke, Indiana, Kentucky, Kansas etc it doesn't matter who you are talking about they all suck in football and probably always well other then the odd year. It's pretty obvious when football is the second most popular sport it's tough to have sustained success.  Its also obvious football is gaining in popularity and importance and college bball is losing popularity and importance. 

[Dugout DickStone]

When they go back to letting HS players go to NBA, college basketball is in even more trouble.

This is getting brutal.

Guys, I want to add something here as well. I have some good KU friends who actually are coherent and understand this amazing milestone that we've achieved. Heck, the girl I'm seeing is a squawk and she felt bad I was spending time with her this weekend instead of witnessing history. Her direct quote: "Man, you make me feel special, if KU was good at anything else other than ball, I would make sure to be there to witness it". I guess what I'm saying is, don't let beems and this LJ hawk guy change your thoughts on the KU fanbase. They're not all psychotic like these two, they're are actually realist out of the bunch. For our  bros out there who actually get it, without psychotic, irrational outbursts, thank you, and best of luck next year.

Wow, 3MAW is really cutting Beems deep!

South Dakota is going down! 

[bones129]

South Dakota losing to the Hawks? Possible, yes. Probable? Don't know, but I do know that a KU football win against any non-conference opponent is not a given. Sad, perhaps, but true.
