does playing west virginia hurt the image of our program?

[WillieWatanabe]

No one outside of Kansas give a @#@$! about Kansas St!

I know several people that live in Kansas and work in Missouri, or vice versa.  They care. 

It's like he totally disregarded my post about my living in Illinois and many people here thinking the KSU cats are great.  It's the Bears and Cats essentially.  Maybe he didn't know Illinois is a state.  I met a land thief once on spring break that didn't know Illinois was a state.  I had to relate it to him by referencing Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls and explaining that Illinois was the state they were in (true stroy btw).

sorry no one outside kansas but a dick in illinois cares about KSU.  better?

[Dr Rick Daris]

KState is the equal of Alabama, ND, etc. It's hilarious that you don't understand that.

would we be ranked together in the Top 5 if we weren't?

no. we'd be where oregon state is.

If you go to New York City and stop any random person on the street they will tell you (if they follow college sports at all) that Kansas State is in the top 5 most prestigious programs. Over 50% of these same people will tell you they've never heard of the West Virginia football team. That's just the facts. You can't really argue them.

Wow I could have swore that was you in the debate last night making up all those figures!  Who's a big boy?!?

If you stopped anyone in NYC and asked about KSU or WVU football they would say "!@#$ you! Go Knicks!"  Truth.
Btw, who cares what anyone from NYC thinks of your football program?  Sure as hell not recruiting in NYC. Maybe you got your Manhattans mixed up.

kstate is ranked in the top 5, your garbage team isn't.

do you think their players have black lung like the dudes got in Zoolander? 

i bet snyder has already implemented a "black lung" package for this weekend.

[deputy dawg]

Great moments in West Virginia sports history...

Caption fun?  "Take my pain!" or "Let me have those sweet, sweet tears!" or "Heavy cream for your coffee, sir?"

See!  My comb-back is NOT a comb-over.  Now take back what you said!

  I'm gonna write that off as you just being grumpy on account of your nostrils always being packed full of coal dust and your having to mouth-breathe by necessity not just because you really enjoy it.  Blow your goddamned nose!

As a Mountaineer fan living in Morgantown, WV, I would like to say "Welcome" on Saturday.  Hopefully the fan base for KSU, as shown here in these comments, isn't an accurate representation of the disrespect that will be shown on Saturday.  In an ideal world, we all would take the high road and not resort to name calling, lying about state laws, and spreading false stereotypes.  I, for one, am looking forward to a hard fought, competitive game on Saturday night.  I keep trying to remember that many of the posts on here may be coming from college-age students, as many of my "couch burning" neighbors are, but the level of disrespect really is concerning.  What would be said about the quality of our program if we happen to beat Kansas State?  Luck?  We have that too (as an Atheletic Director).  Here's to a great game and the beginning of a good rivalry!

Man... I'm not sure you've ever even been to NYC. There are more K-State alums living in NYC than any other major university.  Fact.

[Cartierfor3]

Its a well known fact that most Hollywood celebrities are KSU fans.  Clooney throws a watch party most Saturdays, and the sideline during a game is really a good way to gauge who is the hot, young, up and comers in the entertainment industry.  Anyways, I did some research and could only find person anyone of us has ever heard of that is a west virginia fan.  You want to know who it is?  The singer from Creed.

If by hard fought game you mean West Virginia will be fighting hard, then yeah. Our second string will probably fight pretty hard in the second half, too, because they'll be wanting to show coach Snyder that they're ready for more playing time. But our first string will DEFINITELY just be going through the motions. No need to do much more than that.

You guys...I'm a little worried about the Blue Turf, have the Cavaliers ever even lost on it? We are in for a war, but go cats! Welcome to the board Cavaliers! 

[pissclams]

will our players be wearing special respirators this weekend on the sidelines to avoid the black lung?

kstate is ranked in the top 5, your garbage team isnt

yeah they are this week.  so LSU, South Carolina, Oklahoma are garbage too cause theyre not in the Top 5?

Oklahoma isn't garbage, they're just proven to not be as good as us.  The other two are, in fact, garbage.

With examples like this one, this one, or this one its hard not to have some sense of fear if you are traveling to West Virginia. Be safe K-State fans.

I mean, its not like some of these perceptions don't have some traction.

[Pett]

Sure there may be a few "toothless" people but every state has them.

A "few".
