Media hates us, we get no respect, keep the chip on our shoulder thread

[Barry McCockner]

Seems like May issued some standard condescension but no actual overt allegations of racism.

"Kansas State, who do you think you are?"

Should we put a bounty/standing offer type thing on this?

Yeah his point was we weren't good/important enough to fire a coach who went to a bowl, beat UT twice, and at the time of firing had the chance to make 2 bowls in 3 seasons.  Same KSU sucks and should be happy with breathing bullshit.

However, racist crackers took May's words a completely different direction even though he said what every other national media guy including Holtz said.

This wasn't the statement that people say May called us racist in. This statement was right after Ron got fired. The thing people say May called us racist was during the bowls. 08 was the height of the "there aren't enough black HCs" discussion. May made some comment that even when black coaches do get jobs, they aren't given the same leeway. He used Prince as an example. Did he call us racist, no. Did he he bring up the Prince firing when talking about the lack of black HCs, yes. Did he say "if RP was white, he'd still have his job", no.

May was saying, "if you aren't like those above you and the boosters, then they are more likely to turn on you."  We had just fired RP. Of course it was going to come up. If you fire a black HC at the height of that discussion, it's going to be part of the discussion. He was talking about the larger issue, and we were part of the discussion, as we should have been. It was a timing issue with the larger issue. He never called us racist.

The "there aren't enough black head coaches" talking point died pretty soon after that. I don't think there are more now either.  Just media cycle.

You first bolder statement he was talking in general, before KSU was ever mentioned.

eff Ron Prince 

[Trim]

For you dorks hating on Tully, just know that he owns a goEMAW shirt, so he may in fact be a bigger fan of goEMAW than you. Think about that.

Wears it and tweets pictures of it too.  He's great.

good to see Joe Hubert getting some attention from Sports Center

Miami sees through media fog, says Man'tie O is a FP,TC and Arthur Brown is far superior.

They called him Josh earlier.

Just heard that one, also. "Joe". Great preparation, ESPN. 

[michigancat]

They ONLY mess up ksu names. So sick of this.

[stunted]

Prince being black helped get him the job, only fair he got a shorter noose leash

[ednksu]

stunted = random

Heisman race talking points on College Football Final

May: CK didn't disappoint
May: may blows Oregon's Barner, wow 19 rushing TDS (....pffffffff) now a 2 horse race
Lou: (might be drunk) Makes fun of May choosing Geno Smith.  Rambles about others like AJ. 
Lou: This time last year no one was looking at RGIII
May: Man'Tie O not Heisman caliber

Baby Lockett's TD run back on SC top 10 @ #3.

ESPN was pretty complimentary of us tonight.

[felix rex]

Rece Davis dropped an EMAW. Probably thinks its an acronym

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.

Grantland dork disrespects KSU Cats, DOOM_Catz specifically.

So no one outside of K-State knew about Prince's off the field antics?

lol, no one outside of K-State knew of his on the field antics

That's ridiculous.  The largest number of people want to watch Alabama play Notre Dame.

[SleepFighter]

Hey Irish, just keep winning.

[SPE_khat]

from ESPN insider article, douchey Todd McShay being douchey

Kansas State

Best matchup: Notre Dame. Alabama and Oregon are the top two teams in the country, so KSU's best shot at winning would come against the Irish. I'll also add that this would be a great matchup. If all four teams go undefeated, I hope we can see a Tide-Ducks final and Wildcats-Irish Fiesta Bowl. There's a legitimate chance it could happen (check out Brad Edwards' latest BCS bowl projections).

Worst matchup: I mentioned this in the Alabama section, but I don't think the Crimson Tide are a good matchup for the Wildcats. K-State does all the little things right and makes you beat yourself, but it's hard to do that against Alabama. The Tide are a dangerous combination of elite talent and consistent play.
