the little man syndrome in our fanbase is going to get really old, really quickly, though.  His name will always be up for big jobs, doesn't mean he's leaving.  If his name is up for those jobs then that means we're having success, so enjoy it.

You don't find using the phrase "little man syndrome in our fan base" while caping up for the eff KU chant, ironic? Are you intentionally being ironic but I'm missing it? That's gotta be it, you're being much more clever than stunted.

I don't know if the chant will ever die. It's just too much fun and has such a long history. Catering to Tang may end it or hoops, but it'll ring out in football. I do think Tang will end the KU victory court storming tradition.

You know what's more fun? Shutting the eff up and pleasing our very successful coaches and their wishes as they continue to win at high levels. That crap is way more fun.

Is the stunted thing a bit? I am just jumping back onto the board after a couple year hiatus, and I can't really tell. Whether it's in earnest or not, it sucks incredibly bad. Go cats.

KU going full Iowa State with grievances would be the real cherry on top of a good win.

FWIW - I feel like I see some daylight under that upper-back area in the still shot!

They're going to be so pissed for the game in Lawrence. Will be fun to see how our guys respond to that environment. KU is going to be jacked up.
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.

Personally I think everyone except stunz should shut the eff up about Oscar and move on.

It's a bit in that he thinks he's making a point about those who didn't adore Oscar. It's not a bit in that he was a forever Oscar guy who had he had his way, Oscar would have been give a lifetime contract. With that, he's sincerely envious and resentful of Tang's success. So a bit of a bit, but a larger bite of  sour grapes.

It's odd he posted that image because he is clearly not out of bounds at that point, and was in the process of passing the ball before he laid flat on the floor.

I'm talking about how any mentions of Tang going elsewhere sends our fanbase into panic mode.  It's a great thing if our coach is someone other schools would be interested in.

I'm done in regards to the chant.  I'll never see eye-to-eye with people who worry about a word.

It's super easy to point at one instance like that, but there were 3-4 of very similar instances last night and none of them were called(both sides).  There were an absolute crazy amount of fouls not called last night.  If you are someone who wants all fouls called, the refs were awful.  However, they did it very evenly, imo. 

The main thing I had issue with was at the end when we had a fast break with the ball in Johnson's hands, and they stopped the play because Wilson had a slight limp on the other end of the floor.  He was on his own two feet, slight limp, they blew the whistle, limp immediately went away and he wasn't made to leave the court at all.  Some bullshit theater kid crap took away a fast break from us at the end of the game.  That made me ragey, but the rest was pretty even, imo.

Tang's made it very clear its not about the F word, it's about focusing on the other team rather than our own. He hasn't said anything about a "BULLSHIT" chant or any other time the fans use bad words

The fam and I were noting how unhealthy Bill looked during the broadcast last night. He may soon rival Bob Huggins for most likely to require defibrillation during a game. In contrast, our Coach radiates health and vitality. The contrast could not be more stark.

Yes like if you’re going to stop play for an injury the injured guy should at least have to come out of the game until there’s an opportunity to sub or ku has to spend a timeout, idk something at least

Most fun I’ve had watching KState hoops in a while. I was a junior at MHS when Beasley and co beat KU at home in 2008. Remember running through campus and by Bramlage earlier that afternoon seeing the crazy line of students waiting for entry. That was a fun game to watch and last nights matchup kind of took me back to that same feeling.

Enjoying the ride Coach Tang and this team are taking us on.

Also, wacky, real talk - it did not escape my notice that during the game and then for an hour or so after you stayed out of this thread. And I just wanted to say thank you. It was nice to be able to enjoy this victory with other gErs without you doing your thing, and I do sincerely appreciate you giving me a couple hours

I guess I'm weird. I admittedly am not much of a basketball guy, but aside from winning and the opp to take the lead, this game was brutal. Especially the second half. Watching dudes shoot free throws for 3 hours just isn't my idea of a good time. I love coach and am really glad we won though!!!  :ksu:
