Something I've noticed about K-State fans

How excited were Ohio State fans (as well as fans everywhere else) when Appalachian State beat Michigan a few years back? 


This was a bigger upset than that.

someone else's pain

amazing lack of perspective, is KU basketball all its fans have?

Pain is pain.  Obviously there are different levels and more serious examples, but it's still pain no matter how you slice it.

I can honestly say I never have and I never will experience pain over a regular season sporting event. I had pain over sports twice in my life, 1998 Big 12 Championship and 2003 ALCS. In retrospect I'm embarrassed about both.

Yes, this was one of the biggest upsets in the history of college basketball. This fact cannot be overlooked.

Of course that will bring out K-State fans. I'm sure KU fans were very excited when we lost to Baylor in FB, I just don't go to opposing fan BBSs to find out.

We didn't have to go to other boards to find out... They flooded facebook, twitter, and every BBS they had a login to. 

Baylor's upset of us was like a super bowl win for the ku fans.

I was ecstatic for a few reasons...

1)  KSU is now tied for first in the Big 12...with a shot to win a Big 12 basketball title.  How awesome would it be to win bball and fball in same year (Hint:  Pretty rough ridin' awesome)? Not many teams can claim they have accomplished that feat in the same year.
2)  A record breaking upset happened last night.  I would have been excited if it were two SEC, big 10, ACC or PAC 12 teams.  The fact that it was in the Big 12 made the upset a bit more electrifying for me personally.  The fact that it was a local team and I get to hear all the fans cry about it in the office made it even more exciting.
3)  Finally....add #1 and #2 together and the team getting beat is your in-state "rival", hilarity will ensue....


No hard feelings Beems.  KU was pumped when we lost in the Fiesta.  I get it....

[kso_FAN]

I mean, it was a much worse loss than when UMKC beat Wooly.

[Pett]

Seriously, though, isn't it kind of sick how humans get excited and giddy over someone else's pain?  There's no better example than in sports.

Oregon sure did a number on you beems. Light one up for me bro!

1ST PLACE!!!!!!!

['taterblast]

it's sports, dude. quit talking about pain.

[Peter Nincompoop]

It's just nice to have all the Emporia State, Pitt State, Ft. Hays St., etc... grads that I work with that claim to be the BIGGEST KU BASKETBALL Fans shut the hell up for a while.  Those dicks are the worst.  Actually had a douche tell me one time he is only a KU Basketball fan, not a KU football fan.  He wanted me to know this.

quick flowchart for potential ku or kstate outcomes and kstate fan reactions...

kstate wins in bball or fball- ho hum. of course we just won. duh.
kstate loses in bball or fball- wtf! why did we lose and who should i be most mad at about it? this almost never happens!
ku wins in bball- ho hum. of course they did. duh.
ku loses in bball- wtf! haha.
ku wins in fball- wtf! good for them!
ku loses in fball- ho hum. of course they did.

BMW, this is a great thread. Very insightful.  Just kidding you goddamn idiot.

[JohnCurrie is Weird/Gross]

You noticed emaws are happier after a KU loss than an emaw win? Did your research involve checking twitter and BBS's minutes after #220 beat #5 and K-State didn't play? Great stuff.

Let's pump the breaks a little, big guy.

Why?  Objectively, it was a much worse loss.

[bigwillie20]

I'm sure no squawks said a word when Norfolk St beat Mizzou though 

People like upsets beems, it's what makes sports so great

[puniraptor]

Whatever that first post says just isn't true.

The only happiness (besides the pure hilarity) I took from the loss is that we now have an opportunity to be Champs.

Did those kangaroos ever beat a top 5 team, home slice?

Different season, different teams, etc... but that UMKC team was mid 150s in kenpom. This TCU team will probably finish mid 250s or worse. The ratings gap between us and UMKC was 80-100. The gap between KU and TCU will be 200+.

going into last night TCU was 330th in offensive efficency

[Dugout DickStone]

Every KU fan I know is just obsessed with what KSU fans think. It is really weird/creepy.

[mocat]

KU fans all over facebook are bitching about KSU fans, then dumbass KSU fans defend it by comparing it to KU fans' reactions after KSU lost to Baylor, but the big difference is, when KSU lost to Baylor, it didn't mean crap for KU. When KU lost to TCU last night, it meant the world to KSU. Shot at the title is now a definite possibility.
