I can't believe we've reached the point where we complain about national tv broadcasts.
I can't tell if this means we have no idea how to act when we're this high up in the stratosphere, or if we totally do know how to act, and we're totally doing it by complaining about national tv broadcasts.
I'm going to reveal a secret: I am not originally from Kansas and I support two teams. I won't say who the other team is, but it is one of college football's perennial bluebood elites (no conflicts of interest because it's not a team that the Cats regularly play and if these two teams did happen to meet I would be EMAW all the way). Supporting that team is how I learned to be a football fan - I've only been following Kansas State since I moved to Kansas in 2008 (enrolled last fall).
Anyways, I'm saying this because bitching and complaining about trivial stuff like what station carries your game is definitely something you do when your team is this high in the stratosphere. Other nitpicky crap to complain about when you can't complain about your team: in-stadium pregame and halftime shows, the student section, how your coaches dress on the sidelines, disrespect from some random BCS computer even when all the others have you highly ranked, the announcing crew assigned to your game and the vendors blocking your view for two seconds during a commercial break as they walk up and down the aisle.
The more trivial the subject a fan is complaining about, the better his team is doing. Trust me. It's hardwired into fan DNA. If we can't take out our angst and frustration and worrying on the team's performance, it is funneled into less meaningful subjects.
