Two years ago I watched these four Kansas State fans, apparently upset with the beer prices in the swanky lobby bar at the downtown Omaha Hilton, wheel their giant cooler inside, plop it down on the marble floor next to where a Marvin Hamlisch wannabe was tinkling the ivories and reach inside for a handful of cold ones. I was torn between astonishment and admiration, because I hate paying $8 for a bottle of beer, too.

Security was summoned. Those K-State fans were told if they wanted to drink beer out of a cooler in a hotel lobby, they'd have to take it across the Missouri River to the Motel 6 in Council Bluffs, Iowa...

Nothing is worth supporting in Council Bluffs. Nothing.

[deputy dawg]

I'm stunned that Las Vegas writers would put "hotel" and "Motel 6" in the same sentence, even if it was a quote.

Pitt or Xavier could win the Elite Eight game against K-State and get to the regional final. Fine with me. The Frank Martin cat won’t be missed. The sideline abuse he shells out is getting old. Who wants to keep seeing that on TV?

Kudos to Mr. Kantowski.  It needed to be said, and hopefully we all can look at this as a long overdue wake up call.  

KSUers may be good at a lot of things, but societal norms and commonly acccepted social mores simply aren't among them.  This is part of the problem most of us have from not being raised around a lot of "people".  We just don't know how to act when we get in public.

Take our behavior as a fanbase (not naming any names) at the Power and Light District this past weekend as an example.  Just the embarrasing tip fo the iceberg, IMO.

Again, needed to be said.  Hopefully Pete, Limestone, Trim, and man wearing Katpak golf club covers for mittens, et al. are taking note.

Sounds like I missed one hell of a good time.

Never been. Try not to go to Nebraska if I can help it. Lincoln is a sh*thole, as is Kearney. That's all I care to know, DAVID STEVENSON.
