fan attendance has no relation to the level of excitement surrounding the program.

Needs some sweeping rule changes.

fully on this bandwagon now.

I think sweeping rule enforcement would be better.  Make it a little less physical and scoring will go up.

Rules exist to handle this, but the interpretation of the rules has become more lenient.

yuck, i say make it more physical, and stop calling so many small timey fouls.

good post by j rake.

the composition of the big 12 is less interesting than ever, the quality of the big 12 is worse than ever and most of our games aren't competitive.

So you like 44-41 ballgames huh? You should become a Nebrasketball fan.

DNR because I thought the original post was dumb but maybe j rake is getting bored because we are running away with the conference? Winning all the time gets boring, I can understand that.

We haven't been in many close games this year, which means were gonna be due in March.  :ohno:

Another thing is that K-State fans are becoming more accustomed to winning in hoops.  It's not as much fun once the initial "OMG we're good!" moments start to turn into "OMG we should be alone in 1st place!"
I think there's some truth to this.

The worst part of basketball is that there is a foul every other possession.  I don't like game stoppage.

Make fouls more severe if you want, just call less.

It would suck for a bit, no doubt, but the idea is that players/coaches would learn how to play the right way again, without body checking people across the lane, hack, etc. Then it would be a beautiful game again.

Maybe you're boring.  You ever think of that?
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

The next few games after a multi-fist-pumpy win are amazing, even when you start blowing teams out.

You're a got dam disingenuous pissant if you don't think OU (twice), OSU, ISU (should have been twice), OU (Twice), WVU (twice), Texas (twice) weren't fist pump worthy.

GTFOMF with that.

I don't think people get how great it is to beat a team on Monday . . . and just sit, back, relax, and watch BBALL all week without a care in the world.

Soft, little fist pumps . . . all throughout the day.

I mean really, when we really sucked and the league was "tougher" I didn't walk around all, "well yeah, it sucks to finish 10th, but golly, the league was just really good this year."  I mean, I just . . . wow.

The league really wasn't tougher when we sucked. We just sucked that bad.

FWIW, a chart comparing Big 12 seasons from 03 to present.

The top of the league isn't as good as years like 08-10 obviously, but its not terrible. The big difference is how bad the bottom 4 teams are; its rare to have pretty much 8 guaranteed wins in the league.
