The 6 signs we hold up before opposing team line ups have been stolen, BIG DEAL, SO WHAT, WHO CARES, WHOS HE, GO HOME, YOU SUCK

If you return the signs now that will be the end of it, I will not look for you, I will not pursue you but if you don't.......... I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you

yeah, NOT cool.

kim carnes · « **Reply #2 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:30:25 PM »

how could you be so negligent as to allow them to be stolen?

Phil Titola · « **Reply #3 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:31:48 PM »

shitty to steal them but I don't like that particular "tradition"

I thought the AD held on to those and passed them out at the beginning of every game?

We have left/hid them in the same spot for the past 7 years or so ever since our group got them, no one has ever touched them before but this crap is not cool. Had to make crappy paper signs 5 minutes before tip off yesterday

they weren't stolen, it sounds like you lost them. you can't just leave them lying around in a public place.

Bloodfart · « **Reply #10 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:36:42 PM »

How could you let this happen?

ChiComCat · « **Reply #11 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:39:11 PM »

What was the last home game prior to ISU, Texas? I like to picture Rick Barnes taking them after the game and having himself a laugh

kim carnes · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:41:16 PM »

if they're ever found, hopefully they're given to someone who gives a crap about them.

We tucked them into the usual spot in one of the suites after the Weber presser against Texas, they werent easily visible

You mean you guys leave them in Bramlege between games? I don't even know where to start with this one...

"Man, I left my $50 bill in the middle of Aggieville last night and when I came back today, it wasn't there! Do you guys know what happened to it? I'm going to find the person who took it and make them pay!"

He's really mad guys, i think he means it.

TCEH, you might go read the western union receipt thread, inside job.

Kat Kid · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:52:20 PM »

I think it was clones that stole them. they are always up to no good.

Boondock Poonhound · « **Reply #19 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:56:05 PM »

That sneaky mayor, smart coach to steal those signs. Just not smart enough to foul KU up 3, with less than 10 secs on the clock. Look what happened.

Pure_EMAW · « **Reply #20 on:** February 10, 2013, 05:56:27 PM »

Seriously, not cool. They've been "hidden" in the same spot for years. Losing the signs would suggest that we misplaced them or forgot where we left them, which simply is not the case.

Whether you are a fan of the tradition or not doesn't really matter. What matters is that someone took something that has been a part of K-State basketball for nearly a decade.

We asked everyone we could find who works at Bramlage to see if they had any idea where they are and nothing came up.

Currie and the fan experience staff have been notified, and if the original signs don't show up then fan experience will create a new set that will be owned by the school.

It would still be nice to have the originals back, but if taking them made someone feel better, well...

"You Suck!"

WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU NOT TAKE THE SIGNS WITH YOU TO AND FROM EACH GAME SO THAT THEY ARE KEPT SAFE BETWEEN GAMES?!?!?

Pure_EMAW · « **Reply #22 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:09:02 PM »

Well, the signs were here before we were and that's where they have always been placed. I think the reason for leaving them at Bramlage was due to the fact that students used to line up for games much more than they do now and there was always a mad rush to the front row, therefore making the signs an inconvenience to carry. At least that's my theory...

We have always taken them home between seasons, though.

I/we are not treating this like it's some sort of terrible thing...as stated before there will be new signs made if they don't show up.

Just kinda sad that someone would actually take the time to figure out where we kept them (it's not like they were in plain sight or that we hid them in front of anyone) and then take the time to steal them.

Still would be cool to have them back.

8manpick · « **Reply #23 on:** February 10, 2013, 06:13:15 PM »

I would guess someone just saw them at a women's game, conference, or some other event held in Bramlege and decided to take them.

The person that took them is a prominent poster on gpc, I'd try there.
