Man, on most days, I sit in my office and have virtually unlimited bbs time.  Today, I was out at Colbert Hills getting 18 in, and we had to have one of the best bbs days in history.   :curse: :angry: :curse:  Why couldn't these slow-witted fucks have responded yesterday?

Slow interwebs connection?
The phone gets pretty slow connection out there unfortunately.

Saying that Kstate is a "Football Powerhouse" is laughable...No one thinks of Kstate in the same category as Alabama LSU or even texas or Oklahoma. You have had 2 good years back to back due to Klein. This is not a powerhouse program so stop claiming it is. Kstates all time record is  475–613–41. Hahaha to have an all time losing record and claim you are a "Powerhouse" is a complete joke. Someone claimed that when people think of kansas state they think of BCS bowl games..... Really you mean the one BCS bowl game you ever got into and lost? Haha this program is not even on the same level as WVU who is 3-0 in BCS bowls and has won 3 in the last 10 years. You have a good team this year and no one is taking that away from you but please stop laboring under the delusions that your program is a national power. Reading these comment are almost comical. The disrespect you've shown for West Virginia in these comments when I doubt any of you have ever been there just shows ignorance. Pride for your school is one thing but don't let yourselves become delusional and disrespectful.

Ps. All these claims that West Virginia has laws for hate crimes etc. Are completely inaccurate just rumors that I guess you people are gullible enough to believe. Good luck in Morgantown this weekend...Hopefully all the innocent respectful Kstate fans don't get treated harshly due to the unnecessary disrespect on this website.
I am late to the party trying to catch up, but there is absolutely no way it gets any better than this.

I didn't know you could get lung cancer that easily by going to a football game in a mineshaft.  Seems dangerous?

It's a FACT that no one wanted to bring West Virginia into either the ACC or the SEC, because of this very problem...they lower the image of any conference they belong to.

Why did they let them into the Big 12.  Great question.

The answer is that we have such huge college football brand names in Texas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma, AND so few existing low-image programs (obviously Baylor is the issue here with the drug scandal and death in Men's basketball, but that's not football).  So, we could take a gamble. 

Is it paying off?  Another good question.

The answer is clearly "NO."  They are national joke after losing so badly to Tech.  What little they brought to the conference is now gone, and we are simply left with a school with a horrible academic and social reputation that has really poor athletic teams. 


This whole West Virginia thing has been a complete disaster.


Horrible academic reputation? We have more than double the amount of Rhodes Scholars than KSU.

....they have made the answer to the original question a resounding: YES.

My thoughts exactly.  Complete FAIL as a fanbase. I mean JFC, a letter to the NCAA?   :facepalm:

Don't want to go back and read.. What letter?

To Whom It May Concern:

 

My name is Elaine McMillion and I am a documentary filmmaker and alumna of West Virginia University.

 

Today I was sent a link to a forum where Kansas State fans have been debating the following topic: Does Playing West Virginia hurt the image of our program?

 

Through this thread, KSU fans have been posting highly offensive and insulting remarks and comments about the citizens of West Virginia. There is a very big difference between satire and jokes about college teams and humiliating an entire state. These are the same stereotypes that have been used to ridicule our state for years and we believe that the NCAA should step in and correct this extremely offensive thread.

 

Please see the cached link here:

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache%3A4SJKFsWnhQwJ%3Agoemaw.com%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Ftopic%3D23479.50+&cd=4&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

 

I have copied some quotes below (as they were posted), as well.

 

“west virginia is a disgusting drug addicted hillbilly with one tooth cashing his wellfare check to buy menthols and energy drinks and then tries to play a pick up game while passing by a park on the way back to his trailer to then only play a couple of plays before hitting the crack pipe and trying to start a fight. they're gross and i'd rather not be seen hanging out with them. i mean, what are schools like florida going to think?"

 

"Any time you send a team the caliber of ours into a crap hole like Morgantown it hurts our image. I know for a fact our team is going to be disgusted to even be there. Do they even have an airport for our team or do we have to get Mountain Men to guide us to that cesspool?"

 

 "West Virginia has the lowest median household income in the US. My God someone needs to help them. Maybe we can start a charity that sends them new couches made of non-incendiary materials or something. Do you know how many beggars will be approaching LHCBS for money on his walk into the stadium? So sad."

 

"everyone here knows that i never wanted these toothless mouth breathing hillbillies in the conference to begin with and now we have to play them this weekend. "

 

“they don't even have electricity there.  how in the hell are we going to play them at night?  does coal radiation glow from their pores?”

 

“population around 2million and only 4 last names.... Yeah I'd say it hurts the image”

 

“I read an article about West Virginia and the primary source of protein in the state is turtles. disgusting…thats odd my article said semen”

 

“I appreciate the concern of the off-field hazards our 'Cats face in Morgantown.  Yes, they face enraged meth heads, inbreeds, and the like in the stands, but it will only be for a few hours.   

 

“Why don't we put together an old-fashioned food drive for our WVU conference mates?”

 

“It sucks that community like ours (urban, civilized, cultured, diverse, etc) has to share a screen with the backwards mongoloid hill-people.  I know our reputation is great nationally and the other "KSU's" of the world (USC, Michigan, Texas, etc.) know that we hate being associated with WVU types, but will this hurt our image? Oh well, just get in, win, and get the hell out of there back to civilization.”

 

The citizens of West Virginia believe the NCAA should take this forum seriously and put a stop to these attacks.

 

Regards,

 

Elaine McMillion
