The things that I can't stand in journalists are pseudointellectuals (a lot of the grantland dorks), cloyingly "witty" unfunny losers (scott van pelt, more grantland dorks) or complete journo fanboys about journalism.  I can forgive a **** or being a homer for your alma mater.

The *** is generally done by someone trying to be a pseudointellectual.

yeah, prolly

I like tully

I liked the paragraph below a lot.

Quote
That's about half the state. The other half are Kansas State fans, and whether you call it entitlement or security, they don't have it. What they feel is an unwavering certainty that Kansas State is about to get screwed at all times. That its achievements will be overlooked. That its rightful place on the dais will be taken by some underachiever with blue blood.

I think it is one of the things that make our crowds (both football, and bball under Frank) so great.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

 :dubious:

How many times did they say he's had 50+ tackles this season? I swear these radio guys don't even pay attention to games and just read ESPN blog blurbs.

:facepalm:  I would've liked it had he known klein was originally a qb and that it wasn't Bill's idea to put him there.

he also screwed up a bunch of the old timey snyder stories, said Tuggle was our best defender and played DE, and had a couple grammar/spelling mistakes. I enjoyed it though.

Also wrong about recruits flying into MCI.  We wore our jets out in the recruiting biz until they banned it.

I don't blame Tully for being butthurt about KSU at all.  Just about everyone is right now.

When did we finally start flying into MHK?? I thought we only used KCI until early 2000's maybe??

seriously... what is our style of play?  Good defense, force turnovers, dominant offense?  Gain more yards per play than almost everyone?  Score more efficiently than everyone?

1st nationally in PPP
2nd nationally in fewest TO per play
6th nationally in total points scored! not even a tempo-free stat!

The only K-State football Christian Fauria has watched this year are ESPN highlights.

Yes, clueless media-types still think EMAW U wants to grind it out and have the chance to win a low-scoring ballgame in the fourth quarter. 

It's fun that they think this.

ha.
When Tre got hurt, it was his 5th snap of the game...which was late in the 3rd quarter. and how much did he play vs. ISU and WVU and TTech?

The reason that passage is valid is because, in his own begrudging way, he did atleast acknowledge that credit was due but not given.  I think we're used to our life sentence in federal pound me in the ass prison when it comes to respect, perception, etc. but it's nice to hear someone finally acknowledge that the cats actually have...ya know...earned something.

You can definitely tell who has actually seen K-State games this year and who has not when they offer their "analysis."  The giveaway is usually a comment about the "lack of offense" or "if they don't let Klein run and make him throw the ball, I don't think K-State has the tools to win."

The guys on the Solid Verbal podcast are some of the worst about this, and you'd think that by week 10, they could have been bothered to  watch at least one K-State game. But every week they come in and talk about how they think this is the week K-State loses, because all K-State has is Klein. But what do you expect from a podcast hosted by a Penn State/Notre Dame fan from the East Coast and a Oregon fan from the West Coast? I even heard one of them interview an Oregon o-lineman several weeks back on a different podcast and the Oregon guy went on and on about how good he thought K-State was after watching the OU game. On the next podcast, they couldn't even be bothered to preview our game against ranked Iowa State.  This week, they talked about how Iowa State could be salty against OU because it was "in Iowa City." They just have a pretty big blind spot when it comes to Big 12 football.

Yeah, this is apparent on twitter.  They talk about grinding out oldman football stuff.   Same retards that are saying ND's schedule is amazing compared to ours.
