Not sure why people are getting upset
Its only basketball, its not like its football. (The only sport that truly matters in college sports) Basketball is something people watch until spring ball starts. Don't worry guys we already won the BIG12 . Now just enjoy watching your rank CATS in round ball. I think its cute that Uk gets so pumped for this game.
do you travel much? because i do. and i hate the looks i receive from people when i show my Kansas issued identification.
Exactly. Right or wrong, people's perceptions of the state largely have to do with the two BCS schools' athletic programs. While K-State football is clearly the most obvious brand of the state, KU basketball is also featured on national broadcasts at times. The fact of the matter is, their crass behavior during the winter months reflects poorly on all of us.
Just last week, I was in a meeting with pretty important client, and we were talking about where each of us came from. I told him I was from Kansas, and he chuckled for a second and said "Oh, isn't that where people routinely chant 'BULL****, BULL****, BULL****!' when things don't go their way?"
I was mortified and humiliated. Luckily the deal had already gone through and we'd moved onto scotch. I doubt he would've said anything had he not had a couple of stiff ones already, but as they say "a drunk mans words are a sober man's thoughts."
