Don't let these Jayhawks get you riled up Eers, you have to put on your joke hat and listen for the sarcasm.

So do they.  :cheers:

I feel sorry for this Eers88 guy. It must suck having to play in a stadium named after ketchup.

Well we all can't honor our soldiers by naming a stadium in their memory, but it is a nice gesture by your fanbase.

For those of you you who might not know I grew up in the white trashy, methheadish state of Missouri, Lee's Summit to be specific. Well back in the day, Lee's Summit used to have what they called Cole Younger Days. Then some semi educated decent person protested the celebration of a murder and outlaw and the townfolk got together and changed the name to "Old Timey Days" or something like that.

Now get this, I googled the state of "West Virginia" and was taken to the division of tourism. What do you think was the first thing to pop up? No, you didn't guess right. It was a whole thing about The Hatfields and McCoys. Can you believe these inbreds. Any decent, civilized folk would be running from a history of vigilante murders. Hell even the methheads in Missouri can realize the errors in their judgement.

Guys, I think if they weren't blantantly racist and hated brown people, they would be pro-taliban and the talibans tribal, vigilante justice system.

That sure was a long way to go for not much of a payoff.

Just read that their last coach left them after only one season to coach some juco in Arizona.  Maybe LHCBS will get some players from him in the future.  Small world.

it's been discussed, but Matthew McCaunaghey coached them (still think he has short arms) but then Oklahoma hired him to be an actor in their "hook 'em aggies" campaign, when they played against Colin Farrell and UCLA in the national championship game

They upset Michigan that one time at Michigan in what some call the greatest upset of all time.  I think they were I-AA then. Maybe still are?  Not sure about Big East football.

Im torn too. I actually enjoyed the portrait Kevin painted.

Im not advocating that we ignore history, even the bad parts, but I would be hard pressed to believe even a state like Alabama would go out of their way to promote the Klan through the tourism department. So why should West Virginians be given a free pass when the state promotes their home grown, justice system hating vigilanties.

Think Michael Vick went there to get his grades up. Then transferred and played his last two years somewhere in Leavenworth.

to clarify, UCLA hired Colin Farrell in the same way Oklahoma hired matthew mcconaghaeagyghey. as an actor to promote their respective schools during the week leading up to the NCG

Whoops guys, got a bit of egg on the ol' face.  Turns out their last coach was some Spanish (maybe Mexican :dunno:) fellow who was the best coach they ever had and ever will have and he left them to go to the Big Ten which as we know is total garbage but turns out he was the absolute worst coach in that conference during his time there and got fired in like two seasons, maybe less.  I mean eff.  Best coach in the history of the program goes to a chowder puff conference and is the worst thing going?  Really says it all.
